After she carefully searched for a few times, her eyes gradually became serious.

"Did you find anything?"

Maori asked quietly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

Miwako Sato's hand finally touched a roll of almost transparent string. She carefully took it out and held it in front of her eyes, frowning: "This... is a roll of kite string?"

Maori nodded with satisfaction. "That's right. The murderer used this roll of almost transparent kite string and wrapped it around the foot pedal to create part of the crime scene. This roll of string is not only almost invisible, but also very strong. It is part of the murderer's careful planning."

After getting the kite string, Sato Miwako also reacted.

"Wrap the kite string around the pedal, tie the other end to a dagger and place it on the bookcase. As long as we find the right angle, as Mrs. Masuo keeps stepping on the pedal, the weapon will naturally be brought down by her and fly onto her back, killing her!"

"Then, the murderer only needs to find the right time and design an alibi for himself to get rid of suspicion."

“What a great design!”

Sato Miwako exclaimed, and Maori Kogoro nodded, "Therefore, this kind of design can only be completed by one person, and that is Mr. Masuo Keizao, who knows Mrs. Masuo's exercise and rest time perfectly, and can try a lot of positions of the murder weapon!"

"You are the murderer!"

Takagi Wataru grabbed Keizao Masuo in one go. Although Sato Miwako was a little unwilling, she nodded and acknowledged Mori's reasoning.

"Wait! You just deduced that I'm the criminal! But you don't have any evidence yet!"

"Besides! The knife was placed so clearly on the cabinet. My wife is not blind, how could she not see it!"

Keizao Masuo struggled and tried hard to defend himself.

Miwako Sato was slightly stunned. In order to verify Keizao Masuo's statement, she placed the murder weapon on the bookcase. As expected, most of it was exposed outside and anyone who came in could see it. It would be impossible to kill him in this way.

"Mr. Maori..."

Miwako Sato subconsciously looked at Maori for an answer.

However, what made Sato Miwako very angry was that Maori raised a finger again and raised his eyebrows to signal her.

"And you have to pay more."

"Gagagaga!"

Sato Miwako has given up hope. What she wants to know most now is what exactly happened in this case. As for the reward, she will talk about it later!

"It's easy, let me show you."

This time, Maori stood up, walked behind Sato Miwako, put his arms around her, and took the weapon from her hand.

Sato Miwako is very tall, and even though she is wearing high heels, she is still half a head shorter than Maori.

At this time, Sato Miwako, who was held in Mori's arms almost in a hug, could clearly feel the strong male hormones of Mori Kogoro behind her, as well as his strong chest and abdominal muscles.

"Stinky...stinky, shameless..."

Sato Miwako's face showed shame, but in order to see Maori's movements clearly, she had to raise her head.

Maori placed the murder weapon on the top row of books, and then covered it with a book.

"what!"

Officer Takagi, who was standing to the side, shouted, "It's really hard to see it this way! You'll just think it's a book!"

"It's that simple?"

Sato Miwako leaned on Maori's chest in a daze, biting her lip and hating herself for not thinking about it and giving the gangster more reward in vain.

She herself had no idea how much the compensation she had to pay this guy had been increased to.

“Sometimes, the simpler the solution, the harder it is to think of.”

"It's like a magic trick. Once you uncover it, it's just some tricks."

Mao Li smiled and helped Sato Miwako up, then walked towards Masuo Keizo, looking down at him, "If you want evidence, you should still have thumbtacks and tape in your pocket."

"The bloodstains on the bookcase were left when you came in early to clean up the mess. As long as we verify what's in your pocket and whether this method can be successful, we can know whether my reasoning is correct."

Maori Kogoro stared at Masuo Keizao coldly and asked, "Do you have anything else to say, Mr. Masuo Keizao?"

Masuo Keizao sat down dejectedly and said weakly: "No... no need..."

He sighed helplessly and continued, "I tested it hundreds of times last night. This method is definitely successful. Everything is just as Mr. Maori said. I killed my wife."

There was resentment in Masuo Keizao's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "My wife spends money like water and is never satisfied. For her, I even planned to rob a bank to give her more money, but she was still not satisfied. So, I decided to kill her, and then complete the bank robbery myself and escape."

Keizo Masuo's voice was filled with pain and anger, and his eyes were flashing with madness.

Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi looked at him in astonishment. They didn't expect things to develop to this point.

Maori Kogoro said calmly: "Masuo Keizo, your plan may be sophisticated, but in any case, your crime cannot escape the punishment of the law. Your resentment and anger will only make you fall into deeper darkness in the end."

"It is the greatest irony that a bank branch manager is forced to rob a bank and kill people because of money!"

Chapter 99 Let’s complete the bet now!

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission: Gotei 2000! You have earned 2500 points, and currently have points left.]

The charming female voice of the system popped up in Mao Li's mind, and the points returned to 2500, a rather speechless number.

Anyway, Tongzi always likes to use these kinds of numbers, like 213, 250, I'm used to the gross profit, as long as I can give points.

It’s a pity that Conan is not here this time, otherwise he could have played the Roulette of All Worlds.

Next time you solve a case, take the little brat with you.

As the case was solved, the police who arrived belatedly surrounded the place.

Officer Takagi handcuffed Keizo Masuo and calmly said to him, "Keizo Masuo, you are under arrest."

He then directed the police officers who arrived late to take him back to the police station.

Keizao Masuo showed helplessness and fatigue on his face, and muttered in a low voice: "Everything is over..."

At this time, a young man in a formal suit and with a coral head walked over. He looked quite noble and like a rich second-generation.

He is none other than Shiratori Jinsaburo, who is in charge of this case.

After learning that the case was solved, he did not ask any more questions. He just walked up to Sato Miwako and greeted her with a happy face: "Inspector Sato, long time no see, you are still so outstanding."

Miwako Sato just nodded and responded politely but coldly: "Officer Shiratori, long time no see."

She ignored Shiratori's enthusiasm and instead looked at Maori Kogoro with complicated eyes.

Sato Miwako had mixed feelings and her curiosity about Mori Kogoro continued to grow.

Who is this guy?

He drives better than me, solves crimes better than me, and he's so handsome...

Come to think of it, he seems to completely fit my idea of ​​choosing a partner.

It's just too rogue...

Sato Miwako's cheeks turned slightly red and she spat inwardly.

She thought about the fact that she had to fulfill the bet with him later, and she became a little nervous for a moment.

Shiratori Jinzaburo obviously noticed Sato Miwako's gaze. He followed her gaze and found Mori Kogoro.

He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "This case is all thanks to Mr. Mao Li, otherwise we would have spent a lot more time."

Sato Miwako nodded silently, her eyes still fixed on Maori.

Maori took out a cigarette as if nothing had happened, lit it and took a deep puff, as if all this was just a daily routine.

Seeing this, Shiratori Renzaburo felt unhappy and his face looked a little gloomy.

He walked towards Kogoro Mori unwillingly, thinking about showing his strength and having a better relationship with Sato Miwako.

"Mr. Maori,"

Shiratori pretended to be relaxed and said, "Would you like to have a French meal together? It's my treat, and Inspector Sato will join you."

Before Maori could respond, Sato Miwako came over, took Maori's hand, smiled and said to Shiratori: "Sorry, Officer Shiratori, we have already made an appointment to have dinner together. Mr. Maori, let's go quickly."

Miwako Sato directly pulled Maori and turned away. Jinzaburo Shiratori looked at their departing backs and his face became increasingly gloomy.

He originally thought that he could take this opportunity to show off in front of Sato, but he didn't expect to be ignored instead.

"Mouri Kogoro... this is a very formidable opponent."

Shiratori Renzaburo clenched his fists. As the highest person in charge of Sato Miwako's defense line, he would never allow Sato Miwako to fall in love with any man other than himself!

Wait! Maori Kogoro!

I will find a way to embarrass you!

He suddenly thought of something, opened his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Sarah? Can you add one more person to your wedding next month?"

"Yes, I would like to invite the famous detective Maori Kogoro to come."

"That's right, I'm your brother and I'm so awesome. I have a very good relationship with Mr. Maori!"

……

Miwako Sato pulled Kogoro Mori towards a Western restaurant. Her steps seemed a little angry and her high heels made a clicking sound.

Mao Li let Sato Miwako pull him. He turned his head to look at her and asked with a smile, "Inspector Sato, when did I make an appointment with you for dinner?"

"Do not misunderstand."

Sato Miwako said unhappily, "I just can't stand eating with Officer Shiratori. He's too pretentious and I'm a little annoyed."

Mao Li raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Oh? Am I not pretending?"

Sato Miwako glanced at him, a slightly dissatisfied look on her face, but she still said shyly, "Except for being too rascally, everything else is fine..."

Mao Li laughed and put his arm around her shoulders, "Is this a compliment, Officer Miwako?"

Sato Miwako frowned, shook off his hand and said, "Don't call me Officer Miwako, our relationship is not that good yet!"

However, a smile still appeared on her lips, "As for the compliment, I guess so. If you can exchange that undecent reward for a meal from me, then I will treat you as a decent person."

Mao Li smiled slightly and walked into the restaurant with Sato Miwako. The gentleman pulled out a chair for her and said, "Then let me treat you to a meal, and then we can complete the reward properly."

"After all, I have been coveting Officer Miwako for a long time."

"What a rascal..."

Sato Miwako muttered and sat down. She couldn't change the way Maori addressed her, nor could she change his mind. She could only let him forcefully lead her in the direction he wanted.

But it has to be admitted that this man does have charm and ability that cannot be ignored, and this tough attitude really touches the heart of Sato Miwako, who already likes strong people.

Perhaps, today's meal will be an opportunity to get to know him again.

Maori and Sato Miwako were enjoying delicious food in a western restaurant. Maori's usual elegant demeanor made him look particularly charming.

Not only does he have his own opinions on various topics, he can also always make Sato Miwako laugh with his humorous words.

Before she knew it, Miwako Sato had already drunk a lot of red wine.

A drunken blush appeared on Sato Miwako's beautiful cheeks, but she was still attracted by Maori's topic, and her heart couldn't help but be moved.

After they had almost finished eating, Maori gentlemanly helped the already drunken Miwako Sato out of the restaurant.

They slowly walked to the door of a love hotel. Mao Li stopped and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Officer Miwako, should we complete the bet? However, if you really want to cheat, I can accept it. After all, I am very satisfied with today's dinner."

"Who... who said I was going to cheat?"

Driven by alcohol and a desire to win, Sato Miwako showed a stubborn smile, "Let's go! Let's complete the bet now!"

After saying that, she pulled Maoli into the love hotel on the spot.

Mao Li smiled slightly and followed him in. The two walked to the front desk to check in.

Although Sato Miwako was a little nervous, she didn't want to show her weak side in front of Mori.

Under the influence of alcohol, all of Sato Miwako's hesitations were thrown behind her. She took Maori's hand and went straight into the room of the love hotel.
