Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Mao Li nodded and deliberately asked her again: "Besides these, do you have any other discoveries or ideas?"

At this time, Conan noticed the water stains on the ground and wanted to say something, but Maori punched him in time, signaling him not to act rashly.

Asai Chengshi looked at the body and shook his head: "No other abnormalities have been found for the time being."

"Well, let's see."

Maori looked at Asai Narimi meaningfully and did not ask any further questions.

Conan got anxious and held his head and said, "Ah, why is there so much water on the ground?"

"…Lan, take this brat away!"

Maori was speechless. He wanted to test Asai Narimi, but this little brat just kept making trouble.

After receiving Conan's hint, Asai Narimi also reacted and pointed at the water stain and said:

"Um...Mr. Maori, the water stains have spread to the back door and are still on the beach. Did the criminal drown Mr. Kawashima in the sea and then deliberately drag him onto the piano?"

Hearing what Asai Narimi said, Conan was very satisfied. Even though he was dragged away by Xiaolan, he said happily: "Wow, it must take a lot of strength to drag someone so far."

Now, everyone's attention was focused on Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who was the most muscular among the group.

Maori held his forehead and said, if you say Conan is wrong, he is not wrong either, it’s just that the information is inconsistent.

The current clues would naturally point to a strong man. Asai Narumi, a weak woman who is also a doctor, would generally not arouse suspicion.

Forget it, let's just continue with this. Anyway, we have already tested everything that needs to be tested.

"Assholes, what are you all looking at me for!"

Kuroiwa Tatsuji's face was covered with flesh, and he said to the people around him fiercely, "Are you trying to say that I killed Kawashima?"

The people around took a step back and looked at Kuroiwa Tatsuji in fear.

Mao Li soothed, "Mr. Kuroiwa, please calm down. This is just speculation, no one has directly accused you."

"You better be!"

Kuroiwa Tatsuji roared unhappily, and Maori looked at him helplessly. This is his personality. Don't blame others if you get killed later.

Especially since this guy was one of the parties involved in the Keiji Aso incident, the probability of something happening to him is very high.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened to Maori.

Asai Narimi suddenly spoke up: "To move such a heavy body, it takes not only strength but also time. If the chief of Kuroiwa has an alibi during this period, does that mean he is not the murderer?"

What are you doing!?

Maori was stunned, and the expression he showed when he looked at Asai Narimi didn't seem fake.

Why are you trying to exonerate him?

Doesn't this increase your chances of being discovered?

After hearing what Asai Narimi said, Kuroiwa Tatsuji nodded to her in a friendly manner. Although he looked unhappy, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "You can check my alibi as you like. I have nothing to hide."

"In fact, everyone here has an alibi, right? Everyone was still in the process of performing the ritual at that time."

Kuroiwa Tatsuji's daughter, Kuroiwa Reiko, grumbled. She glanced at Nishimoto Ken who was shaking beside her, "Look, he was shaking just like this."

"And Dr. Asai has never left either."

"what?!"

Maori and Conan were both shocked and their expressions suddenly turned ugly.

Maori in particular realized that he seemed to have fallen into a wrong thinking.

If they all had not left, it would mean that they all had alibis, which meant that it was impossible for Asai Narumi to have killed the man and then moved him here.

In other words, this case is different from the original!

No, that's not right.

There is another possibility, that Asai Shigeki used another method to kill people, but it is definitely different from the original!

"What the hell."

Maori scratched his head. The previous cases were very similar to the original works. Relying on the memories of his previous life, Maori solved those cases easily.

Therefore, he habitually thought according to the original work first, but now he is in trouble.

Just then, the village chief's secretary, Kazuaki Hirata, came with a trembling old policeman.

Everyone made way. Secretary Hirata explained helplessly, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Maori. Tsukikage Island has been very peaceful. There is only this one policeman. It will take at least until tomorrow to contact the police in other places."

The old policeman's eyes were blurry, but he still said to the corpse confidently: "Leave the inquiry of the alibi to me, ahem..."

Mao Li couldn't help but hold his forehead when he saw this. The case was complicated because it was different from the original book. Now it was even worse. "Look over here, that's a corpse!"

The old policeman turned his head, finally saw the direction clearly, and slowly walked towards the body.

He coughed and said, "Alas, I'm old now, and my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be. Who are you? Xiao Ming?"

Secretary Hirata quickly introduced Maori and others to him in a low voice: "He is a famous detective from Tokyo, Maori Kogoro."

The old policeman picked up his reading glasses and said with a look of surprise: "Oh oh oh."

Mao Li thought he recognized him, "You must be the alien who sells pillows."

6.

Mao Li sighed helplessly: "It seems that today's investigation will not go smoothly."

Conan carefully observed the old policeman's movements, secretly worried in his heart.

"It seems we can't completely rely on the police. We still have to rely on ourselves."

"Hey, I'm just kidding. You're the symbol of peace that's often shown on TV!"

The old policeman laughed, "What's your name, Maori?"

Well, don't count on him.

Asai Narimi was obviously not confident in the ability of this old policeman. She whispered to Maori, "Mr. Maori, let's first conduct an alibi inquiry, and then do a detailed investigation when the outside police arrive tomorrow."

"That's all we can do for now."

Maori looked at Asai Narimi.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, be filial.

At this time, Asai Narumi was wearing a black mourning dress and looked quite charming.

"How about I start first?"

Asai Chengmi saw that Mao Li was staring at him, and couldn't help but say, "There is a small room over there. We can go there to talk."

Chapter 107 Grasping Her Wrist

Maori and Asai Narimi walked towards the small room. The room was not big, but it was big enough for two people to talk.

Asai Narimi gently closed the door, turned to Maori and said, "Okay, we can start. Mr. Maori, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

"No hurry, sit down."

Maori found a stool and sat down. This room seemed to be used as a storage room, and there were some tables and chairs inside.

Asai Narimi sat down somewhat awkwardly and looked at Mori Kogoro curiously.

Just like what we see on TV, Kogoro Mouri is very handsome, with a face that is perfect in every angle, and muscles that can fully support his clothes.

"Doctor Asai?"

Mao Li noticed that Asai Narimi was staring at him, and couldn't help but remind him, "If you want to see it, why don't you wait until we finish asking questions and then watch it slowly?"

"Yes...I'm sorry!"

Asai Narumi's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she stared at Mr. Mori in the small room for two people. She looked like a nympho.

"I think you're still too nervous."

Mao Li smiled and said casually: "Then let's start with the questions you prepared."

"Eh?"

Asai Narimi was slightly stunned. Before he could understand what Maori meant by this, Maori Kogoro started asking questions:

"Dr. Asai, where were you this afternoon? Is there anyone who can testify?"

Asai Narimi said subconsciously: "Before I came here, I was processing some documents in the clinic. At about half past three, I heard the bell from the community center and hurried over."

Mao Li nodded and continued to ask: "Did you see or hear anything suspicious?"

Asai Narimi shook his head: "No, when I arrived at the community center, the ceremony had already begun and everyone was in the hall. I didn't notice anything unusual."

"I bumped into Mr. Maori at that time and we said hello."

Asai Narimi answered fluently, with almost no time to think, and seemed very sincere.

Mao Li pondered for a moment and then asked, "How much do you know about Kawashima Hideo? Has he ever had a conflict with anyone?"

This time, Asai Narimi thought about it and said to Maori, "Mr. Kawashima is a wealthy businessman on the island. He is usually kind, but he doesn't have a good relationship with some villagers. Especially recently, his relationship with the village chief, Mr. Kuroiwa, seems to be very tense."

"Really? Any more information?"

Maori lowered his head and did not look directly at Asai Narimi. Instead, he started playing Snake on his mobile phone.

The mobile phones of this era are still flip phones, and there are no fun games on them, so just make do with what you have.

From a psychological point of view, looking directly at someone can easily put pressure on them. This casual attitude can actually make them relax their vigilance.

"What do you mean by more intelligence?"

"For example, gossip about Mr. Kawashima, whether the village chief Kuroiwa cheated on his wife, what does Mr. Nishimoto do on a daily basis, etc."

Mao Li crossed his legs and said casually to Asai Narimi: "Just tell me anything. As a doctor on the island, you should know a lot of gossip, right?"

Asai Narumi indeed relaxed a little and started to tell Maori the story as if she was chatting with her best friend.

"Although Mr. Kawashima seems to be very prestigious, he actually doesn't have a good relationship with many villagers. He often uses his power to oppress others, so he is not popular on the island. Although the village chief Kuroiwa looks fierce, he is a good man. But recently I heard that he is very close to a young female villager, and everyone is speculating that he may be having an affair. As for Mr. Nishimoto, he is a somewhat mysterious person. He rarely appears in public. I heard that he is studying some ancient musical instruments and music scores."

Maori listened, sorting out the information in his mind.

Although these gossips may seem insignificant, sometimes it is these trivial information that can provide key clues.

“What you said is really interesting.”

Maori smiled and said, "It seems that you really know everything about the island."

Asai Chengmi also smiled and said, "On this small island, news spreads very fast. As a doctor, I always hear things that others don't know."

"Oh? Tell me more about it!" Maori continued chatting with great interest.

Asai Narimi also gradually relaxed and told some gossip and interesting stories about the people on the island.

When the conversation got heated, Mao Li suddenly said, "Cheng Shi, is there anything else more interesting?"

"Yes, yes, for example..."

Asai Narumi was about to continue sharing when he suddenly froze.

She realized that when Mori called her name just now, he used the pronunciation of her original name "Narishi (せいじ)", not the name she used now "Narishi (なるみ)".

This subtle difference would only be noticed by very few people who knew her past.

Her heart suddenly tensed up.

Mao Li noticed her reaction, smiled, and continued to play with his phone nonchalantly: "What's wrong, Cheng Shi? Is there any secret that can't be told?"

"For example... you are the pianist who died on this island, the child of Aso Keiji who was left in Tokyo, and the story of Aso Minoru?"

Mao Li put down his cell phone and looked at Asai Narimi with a smile.

At this moment, the snake on the screen swallowed the last fruit in one gulp, and the whole game began to flash.
