"Mr. Mori?"
Judy spoke with a slight surprise, with a professional smile on her face, "I didn't expect you to be here."
Mao Li turned around, smiled slightly, and looked at Judy calmly: "Teacher Judy, I just came to care about the children's learning environment and to see the legendary new English teacher in the school."
Judy pushed her glasses up and the smile on her face deepened. "Mr. Maori is really responsible. However, it is really admirable that a busy person like you can take time out to care about children's studies."
Mao Li shrugged and said casually, "No matter how busy I am, my family always comes first. Besides, I am more interested in Teacher Judy."
Judy's hand paused slightly, but soon returned to normal: "Interested? What does Mr. Maori mean by that?"
Maori smiled and said nothing, just looking at her with deep eyes, which made Judy feel an inexplicable pressure.
"Mr. Maori," Judy asked tentatively, "You seemed to be at the scene of the Haido Restaurant incident yesterday? What a coincidence! I saw a report this morning saying that you had a fight with some mysterious people. Even the police kept the case secret."
Mao Li still maintained a calm tone: "Oh, that. It's just some ordinary cases. The media always likes to exaggerate."
Judy narrowed her eyes slightly and thought to herself, "He must know something. With his identity, he can't be just an ordinary person."
Mao Li seemed to see through her thoughts and took the initiative to attack: "By the way, Teacher Judy, where are you from? You speak Japanese so fluently."
"I grew up in the United States, but my family has Japanese ancestry, so I learned Japanese from a young age."
Judy's answer was flawless and her tone was natural and appropriate.
Maori nodded, showing a half-smile. "How interesting. It seems that there are many international talents like you coming to Japan recently."
Judy heard the profound meaning in Maori's words, but she did not show any abnormality. She just smiled and nodded: "Japan is indeed a very attractive place."
Although the conversation between the two seems relaxed and casual, it is full of undercurrents.
Maori confirmed his guess from Judy's words: she is an FBI agent, and her visit to Japan must be related to the Black Organization. Although Judy hides well on the surface, Maori can see every detail of her.
"It seems that she has no plans to reveal her identity for the time being."
Maori thought to himself and decided to hold off for the time being. After all, the Black Organization's affairs were very involved and he needed more clues.
Judy was also secretly observing Maori, wondering: Why is Maori Kogoro so interested in her? How much does he know?
After finishing the conversation with Judy, Maori walked to the edge of the playground and saw from afar Haibara Ai and Conan playing with their classmates.
Haibara Ai obviously noticed Maori, stopped and waved at him from a distance.
The smile hidden in the sunlight made Maori feel warm.
Conan frowned and was alert: "What is the uncle doing now? He has been chatting with teacher Judy for so long, is he in love with someone again?..."
Maori walked over, ruffled Huihara Ai's hair, and said gently: "Listen carefully in class and don't cause trouble."
Huihara Ai nodded slightly, revealing a rare bit of the obedient look of a girl: "Got it, Uncle Maori."
Conan stared at Maori for a long time, his face full of confusion: "Why is the uncle so concerned about school affairs today? Isn't he trying to woo the female teacher?"
Mao Li heard this, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What do you think about all day, little brat? I'm not as idle as you think."
Watching Maori and Haibara Ai leaving, Judy stood on the teaching building and looked at him thoughtfully through the window.
"Mouri Kogoro... is indeed an elusive person."
Judy murmured in a low voice, with a hint of caution and tentativeness in her eyes, "But how much does he know about the Black Organization? I need to find out as soon as possible."
Maori, however, had anticipated Judy's doubts, but deliberately kept everything to himself.
……
After school, the setting sun painted the school with a warm color.
Judy Stelling stood at the entrance of the teaching building with a friendly smile on her face, greeting the students and parents passing by one by one.
"Be careful on the road!"
She waved her hand and watched the last group of children leave.
As the surroundings gradually quieted down, Judy's smile gradually faded, replaced by a calm and cautious expression.
She walked quickly to the parking lot outside the school, glanced around inconspicuously, and after confirming that no one was following her, she quickly got into an inconspicuous car.
After a while, the car drove to a secluded alley.
Judy expertly changed out of her subdued teacher outfit and into a convenient black jacket and jeans, completely shedding her gentle teacher image and replacing it with a decisive and capable FBI agent.
Judy walked over to a black SUV parked on the corner and knocked on the window.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing the calm face of James Blake.
Sitting next to him was his old FBI partner, Kamal, who was flipping through a newspaper boredly.
"Ah, Judy, how's school going?"
Kamal joked, a smile on his face, "Isn't it easier to deal with a group of children?"
Judy rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Judy's school life is probably very popular. After all, even I have heard about her popularity among students."
James took over the conversation, his tone teasing.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Judy got into the car and threw the notebook in her hand onto the dashboard. "The incident at the Haido Hotel has aroused our high vigilance. Maori Kogoro did have contact with the Black Organization. I tested him today and he acted very calmly. He also showed great interest in me."
Camel raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? That's a red flag, Judy. A man like Maori Kogoro is interested in you, and it's probably more than just personal curiosity."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Judy glared at him unhappily, then asked, "Where's Xiujun? Why isn't he with you?"
"Akai is tracking Kogoro Mori. He suspects that Mori not only knows about the existence of the Black Organization, but has also had multiple conflicts with them."
James replied, pushing up his glasses, "We have to make sure that no one associated with the Maori becomes a target of the Black Organization."
Judy frowned, "But Maori Kogoro is obviously a romantic man, and there are many women who have relationships with him. We can't allocate so many resources to protect everyone."
Kamal smiled and said with feigned envy: "It's no surprise that a man like Maori is liked by women. He has both strength and wealth. Even I am a little jealous."
"You are open-minded."
Judy rolled her eyes in annoyance.
James waved his hand, signaling the two to stop joking around: "The Black Organization doesn't have that many people to act recklessly. We only need to prioritize protecting the few people he is really close to, such as his wife Eri Kisaki and daughter Ran Maoli."
At this moment, there was a knock on the car window. The three of them looked out of the car at the same time, and saw a familiar smiling face - Maori Kogoro!
"what?!"
Judy's eyes widened and her heart suddenly tightened.
With their abilities, it is almost impossible that they didn't even notice anyone approaching.
The next second, the car door was opened and Kogoro Mouri calmly got in with a relaxed expression, but there was a sense of oppression in his eyes that could not be ignored.
"Teacher Judy,"
Mao Li's eyes fell on Judy's smooth thighs. He put his hand on them and said jokingly, "You are really a busy man. Who are these two foreign friends?"
Judy suppressed her embarrassment, and her smile was a little stiff: "They are... um, old friends who came to Japan for a tour. I took them to familiarize themselves with the environment."
Maori raised his lips slightly, glanced at James and Carmel, and smiled meaningfully: "Oh? Japan is not a suitable place for tourism. Many dangerous things have happened recently."
Judy gritted her teeth and continued, "Yes, that's why they need my help."
Maori didn't investigate further, but just leaned back in his chair casually, but his eyes inadvertently swept across the photo in James' hand.
The photo showed the images of Kisaki Eri and Mouri Ran.
"Ok?"
Mao Li's eyes changed, he reached out and picked up the photo and looked at it, then looked up at Judy, and said in a relaxed tone: "Aren't these my wife and daughter? Oh, Teacher Judy, your friends are pretty amazing, they even have their photos."
Judy's heart tightened, but she still maintained a stiff smile: "This...maybe they took the photo by accident."
Mao Li smiled thoughtfully and handed the photo back: "You must pay more attention to protection in the future, otherwise it will be troublesome if you are targeted by bad guys."
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became subtle.
James and Kamagra exchanged glances. It was obvious that not only had Kogoro noticed something, but his attitude was extremely calm, which even made them feel an invisible pressure.
Judy knew that Maori was obviously not an ordinary person.
But for now, she could only continue to pretend nothing happened: "Thank you Mr. Maori for your reminder, we will definitely pay attention to it."
Mao Li stood up and straightened his suit. "That's good. Teacher Judy, I won't disturb your gathering with your friends. After all, you seem to have many important things to discuss."
After saying that, he calmly left the vehicle, as if all this was just an ordinary "misunderstanding".
However, Judy did not relax for a moment.
Looking at Maori's back, she clenched her hands into fists, feeling complicated.
"How much does he know?"
James' voice came from the side, full of deep doubt.
Judy shook her head and whispered, "I don't know, but he's definitely not an ordinary detective."
The black SUV was parked quietly at the entrance of the dim alley, and the air inside the car seemed to be frozen.
James and Carmel looked at each other, while Judy looked down at her thigh that had been touched by Maori, with a complicated expression on her face.
Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps.
The car door was slammed open and Akai Shuichi walked in with a gloomy face.
He didn't say anything, but just rested his hands on his knees, frowning, looking extremely unhappy.
"what happened?"
James's steady voice broke the silence.
Akai didn't answer immediately. He took a deep breath before speaking: "I lost Maori Kogoro."
His tone was filled with reluctance and self-blame. "No, I should say... I was not able to keep up with him completely. He seemed to have noticed my presence a long time ago, and even... deliberately got rid of me."
There was a sudden silence in the car.
Kamal was the first to break the deadlock, and teased with a smile: "Wow, Xiujun, you are the 'silver bullet' of our FBI, a person that even the Black Organization is afraid of. How could you be gotten rid of by a detective?"
"Shut up, Kamal."
Akai's tone turned a little colder and he glanced at him sharply.
James pushed up his glasses and asked solemnly, "So, how do you know he found you?"
Akai frowned as he recalled: "He changed his route seemingly unintentionally several times while walking, and each time he happened to bypass my blind spot. When I tried to close the distance, his speed suddenly increased, and finally he disappeared completely. It was a precise anti-reconnaissance technique, more sophisticated than even the top members of the Black Organization."
Hearing this, Judy couldn't help but sigh: "Not only did he get rid of you, but he also found us in return."
She gave Akai a meaningful look and said, "He was in this car just now, even..."
Her voice paused slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly, "I touched my leg."
"what?!"
Akai raised his head suddenly, his face became even gloomier, and he said almost through gritted teeth, "He came here and touched your leg?"
Judy nodded, her tone complicated: "He obviously realized my true identity, but he pretended not to care, and even jokingly asked about your identities. What made me most confused was that he seemed to have no hostility at all, and instead seemed to be playing with us."
Akai clenched his fists, his eyes full of self-blame and unwillingness: "What kind of person is Maori Kogoro...?"
Akai lowered his head in thought, replaying his observations and intelligence analysis of Mori during this period in his mind.
According to public information, Kogoro Mori is an influential detective and can even be said to be a "national-level" hero.
He is not only a popular reasoning expert, but also a consultant to the Beidou Group in the entertainment industry, and secretly the boss behind this huge enterprise.
But this information does not fully explain the gross profit performance.
Akai clearly remembered that he had seen the name "Kogoro Mori" in some confidential reports of the Black Organization.
At that time, Gin was unusually cautious about this name, and even ordered members of the organization not to contact this person easily.
"This man obviously has an ordinary background, but his actions, his abilities, and even his existence itself are full of mystery."
Akai whispered, frowning, "If Mori really knows a lot about the Black Organization, how did he get this information?"
Chapter 453: The Embarrassed Akai Shuichi
James took a deep breath and spoke calmly: "No matter how complicated Maori Kogoro's identity is, our mission is still to monitor him and protect his important contacts. Now that Maori has confronted the Black Organization head-on, we can't let him become a helpless target."
