Michiwaki Masahiko slid down the wall, his face full of pain and despair, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He struggled to look up at Maori, his eyes full of hatred and fear.

Mao Li ignored him and turned to check on the situation in the garden.

Sonoko was strangled and passed out. Maori quickly squatted down and checked her pulse and breathing.

"My throat is squeezed and I can't breathe smoothly. I can't go on like this. I need artificial respiration!"

Kogoro Mouri looked at Sonoko who was having difficulty breathing and decided to give her artificial respiration without hesitation.

He quickly unbuttoned Sonoko's collar and opened her bra to make sure her airway was clear.

A piece of white caught Maori's eyes. Unexpectedly, the development of the garden was not very bad. The small snow-capped peaks were trembling, which was very impressive.

Chapter 57: To save people, don't get me wrong

Mao Li gently touched Sonoko's chest with his fingers to check her heartbeat.

Then he pinched her nose, took a deep breath, pressed his lips against hers, and began artificial respiration.

With each breath, he was careful to ensure that the air entered her lungs smoothly.

Therefore, Maori could only keep touching her snow-capped peaks with his hands.

As several cycles went on, Sonoko's chest began to rise and fall slightly, and Maori continued to press on her chest to help her regain her breathing.

Finally, Sonoko opened her eyes and her breathing became more stable. She saw Maori's face close to her and felt his warm breath, and her cheeks suddenly blushed.

"woke up."

Maori breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of relief in his voice.

Sonoko realized the situation at this moment, she smiled weakly: "Uncle Maori...you saved me."

Then she stared at Mao Li's hand which was still on her chest.

Mao Li nodded gently, cleared his throat, and withdrew his hand: "I'm glad you're okay. You take a rest first. I'm trying to save people. Don't get me wrong..."

Yuanzi's face was still as red as an apple. She straightened her clothes and looked at Maori with shyness and gratitude in her eyes. She didn't have the crazy feeling she had before: "Uncle Maori, thank you..."

Mao Li smiled and stood up: "As long as you are safe."

At this time, Xiaolan, who hurried over, saw Michiwaki Masahiko being kicked against the wall, and she was surprised.

"Dad?! What's going on?"

Not only Xiaolan, but also Kyogoku Makoto and the police officers on standby in the room ran over, especially Officer Yokomizo, who had a confused look on his face.

"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?"

Mao Li snorted coldly and pointed at Michiwaki Masahiko, asking harshly, "This guy broke in and attacked Sonoko, he is the serial killer! Are you police officers just here to eat and do nothing?"

Upon seeing this, Officer Yokomizo's face changed drastically. He hurried to Maori Kogoro, bowed deeply, and apologized repeatedly: "Mr. Maori, I'm sorry, our mistake almost caused a disaster!"

The surrounding police officers also rushed forward, quickly grabbed Michiwaki Masahiko, and handcuffed his hands.

Xiaolan hurried to Yuanzi's side and checked on her: "Yuanzi, are you okay?"

Yuanzi looked pale, and nodded in shock: "I... I'm fine, Xiaolan, luckily your father arrived in time."

Officer Yokomizo wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and said to Maori Kogoro: "Mr. Maori, thank you so much. Fortunately, you were there to stop the attack in time."

Maori Kogoro snorted coldly and dusted himself off: "If you were a step later, the garden might be in danger. Be more careful in the future and don't give this kind of person the opportunity to do evil again."

Officer Yokomizo nodded repeatedly and agreed respectfully: "Yes, yes, we will increase our vigilance. Thank you, Mr. Maori."

Kyogoku was anxious to rush in to see what was going on with Sonoko, but was stopped outside by Mori.

"Don't go in. It has nothing to do with you."

Mao Li snorted and said, "You are also responsible for what happened in your hotel!"

Kyogoku Masahiko's face looked extremely ugly. In anger, he rushed forward and kicked Michiwaki Masahiko hard, kicking him against the wall again.

Michiwaki Masahiko slammed heavily against the wall, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, his face full of pain.

Officer Yokomizo quickly asked, "What are you doing? Don't kill him!"

Kyogoku Masahiko gasped and looked at Michiwaki Masahiko, his eyes full of anger: "This kind of scum is not worth living!"

Officer Yokomizo stepped forward to stop Kyogoku Makoto, and gave emergency treatment to Michiwaki Masahiko, while ordering his men to take him away.

Officer Yokomizo didn't say anything about Kyogoku Makoto's behavior and pretended he didn't see it.

"Take him back to the police station for detailed interrogation."

Officer Yokomizo commanded, then turned to look at Maori, "Thanks to you, Mr. Maori. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened."

Michiwaki Masahiko was helped up by the police, still with a ferocious smile on his face.

Before he left, he sneered and said to Mao Li: "Detective Mao Li, don't think this is the end. I have left a 'surprise' for you."

Mao Li frowned and snorted coldly: "Scum like you will get the retribution you deserve sooner or later. Police, take him away!"

Officer Yokomizo nodded and signaled his men to take Michiwaki Masahiko away.

As Michiwaki Masahiko was being taken away, he still glared at Mori viciously, as if hinting at something.

"We will conduct a thorough search of his residence and any possible hiding places."

Officer Yokomizo said firmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Maori, we will definitely find his so-called 'surprise'."

"hope so."

Kogoro Maori frowned, but a prompt indicating that the system task was completed appeared in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission: Gotei 5000! Solved the serial murder case and received 5213 points. Currently, there are points left.]

Mao Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the prompt from the system, but the uneasiness in his heart still lingered.

The system has said before that it only cares about completing the task and does not care about the specific truth.

Therefore, although the mission had been completed, Michiwaki Masahiko's sneer and words before leaving made Maori feel that things were not completely over.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Maori's serious expression, Xiaolan couldn't help but ask with concern.

Mao Li shook his head slightly and forced a comforting smile: "It's okay, Lan. I just feel that this case is not completely closed yet. We haven't found out the so-called surprise that guy brought."

"It's okay, Dad. Maybe he's just exaggerating."

Xiaolan thought about it, walked forward and gently hugged Maori Kogoro, and smiled and said: "Is this better?"

Mao Li smiled and rubbed Xiaolan's head. Her cheeks were red. "Dad, don't treat me like a child all the time. I am already an adult!"

"is it?"

Maori looked down at Xiaolan's curvy figure. Indeed, Xiaolan already looked like an adult.

At this time, Kisaki Eri came out of the room after she had finished packing. She had changed her clothes, and the professional attire made her look even more capable.

As soon as she saw everyone's serious expressions, she immediately guessed what had just happened.

"What happened?"

Kisaki Eri asked with a frown, her eyes scanning everyone's face.

Maori Kogoro stepped forward, briefly explained the situation, and comforted him softly: "It has been resolved, it's not a big problem."

"It's good that the murderer has been caught... at least it gives me some peace of mind."

"As for the surprise..."

Kisaki Eri glared at Maori, frowned slightly, and reached out to twist his waist hard.

Maori twitched in pain and almost cried out.

Chapter 58: Damn Surprise

Hibiki Eri came closer and cursed inwardly through gritted teeth, "Last night was such a surprise... Did I agree to do that with you?"

Mao Li smiled awkwardly and whispered, "It's a done deal, there's no way to change it, so why don't you come home with me? We can talk about this matter properly?"

Kisaki Eri glared at him. Going home with you? I'm afraid you'll do this to me again when I get home!

She ignored Maori and turned to look at Xiaolan and Sonoko. She felt relieved only after confirming that they were not injured.

"Let's stop here for this trip."

"Something like this happened here, and everyone needs time to calm down," said Eri Kisaki softly.

Because of the shadow of the murder case, everyone lost all interest.

Especially Yuanzi, who seemed a little uneasy.

Maori also agreed to the suggestion. The purpose of going out to play was to relax, but he didn't expect something like this to happen.

Amid Kyogoku Makoto's regretful and lost expression, Mori and his friends checked out of the hotel and went to the parking lot.

Maori took Xiaolan and Sonoko into his nanny car. Sonoko sat in the back seat. Xiaolan patted Sonoko gently, but she was still a little frightened.

"It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Maori turned around and said something to comfort her, and Sonoko's tension was slightly relieved.

After comforting Sonoko, Maori turned his head and looked outside the window at Kisaki Eri who was standing beside him.

He asked, "Eri, aren't you going with us?"

Kisaki Eri looked down at her fingers and couldn't help but think of her lost wedding ring.

Although Maori's suggestion warmed her heart, she still shook her head.

I got drunk last night and rekindled my old relationship with my husband. It satisfied the emptiness I had been feeling for a while and I am very satisfied.

However, as she said before, Mori is now ahead of her, and if she doesn't catch up with him, Kisaki Eri will not feel balanced inside.

Just like the lost ring on my hand, it means that it is not suitable for me to go back now.

Perhaps, the ring appeared after God thought that I was worthy of returning?

"I drove here myself."

Kisaki Eri said calmly, without much expression on her face.

She looked up at Mao Li with a complicated look in her eyes, "You guys go back, I have to go to the law firm to do some work."

Mao Li heard the hidden meaning of Kisaki Eri's words, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he knew Kisaki Eri's character, so he didn't say much, just nodded: "Okay, be careful on the road."

The two of them made things very clear that day, and Maori also made up her mind to show the queen that her husband was the most powerful.

Kisaki Eri smiled slightly as a response.

She watched Mao Li's car start before turning and walking towards her own car.

After getting in the car, she held the steering wheel, but she still felt a little conflicted and helpless.

Eri Kisaki knew that she still had deep feelings for Mori, but some things could not be solved with just a few words.

She sighed and started the car.

Maori touched his pocket and suddenly remembered that he had picked up Kisaki Eri's wedding ring and had not returned it to her yet.

He quickly opened the car door, ran out, and chased after Kisaki Eri's car.

"Eri! Wait!"

Mauli shouted, waving the ring in his hand.

At this moment, black smoke suddenly came out of Kisaki Eri's car.

She discovered in panic that the car seemed to have lost control and couldn't stop.

"husband!"

Hibiki Eri leaned out of the car window and shouted anxiously, "There's something wrong with the car, and it can't stop!"

Maori's eyes flashed and he quickly assessed the situation.
