Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Hearing what Asai Narimi said, Maori did not doubt it and subconsciously walked towards the door.

This is mainly muscle memory left over from the previous life. As soon as the woman next to me says, "My husband is back," I immediately get up and slip away.

Mao Li, who had just walked to the door, was stunned. What else did Asai Narumi need to pack? His clothes were already put on. Why didn't the two of them just say they were going to chat here?

But since we've come this far, let's just deal with the guy at the door first.

As soon as Maori opened the door, he saw Xiaolan's flying kick coming towards him.

Maori instinctively reached out to catch the powerful flying kick.

"orchid!"

Maori steadily caught Xiaolan's flying kick and spoke to her in a deep voice.

Xiaolan saw someone catch her flying kick and looked over in surprise. Unexpectedly, it was her father. She blushed and lowered her skirt. She said shyly, "Dad? Why is it you?"

Maori looked helplessly at Xiaolan and Conan, as well as the large group of people behind them, and sighed: "What are you doing here?"

Conan also said with surprise: "Uncle Maori, I think there are important clues here, so let's come and take a look!"

He looked at Mao Li and asked suspiciously, "You haven't... figured out everything, have you?"

No way, right?

Uncle Maori is so fast?!

You clearly didn’t even get the sheet music back?

Also, he probably doesn’t know that Dr. Asai is Keiji Aso’s daughter...right?

"Yes, I already know the whole truth, but for protection reasons, I am still communicating alone."

Maori nodded, looked at Conan and said in a deep voice: "With so many of you coming here, do you know how much trouble it will cause to others?"

However, Conan was not satisfied and shouted, "Uncle Maori, there must be a criminal inside, right? If he is, can we force him into a dead end?"

"This is our responsibility as detectives!"

When Maori heard this, he walked forward angrily and slapped Conan in the face.

Conan was stunned by Maori's beating, and looked up at him blankly: "Uncle Maori?"

He had been beaten up before and was somewhat used to it, but this was the first time that Maori slapped him.

To be honest, even Kudo Yusaku, who was always strict with himself, had never slapped himself like this.

"Since your mother entrusted you to me for education, I will teach you a good lesson this time!"

Mao Li said angrily, "If the purpose of exploring the truth is just to drive the criminal to a dead end, then what is the difference between a detective and a criminal! Think about it carefully!"

Maori's words were so deafening that Conan was stunned where he was.

"What's the difference between a detective and a criminal?"

"Dad...he's still a child..."

Xiaolan couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw this scene. She stepped forward and hugged Mao Li's arm, "Don't be angry, okay?"

The others who followed also tried to persuade him. Maori took a deep breath, looked down at Conan, and said in a cold voice: "As long as you embark on the path of being a detective, you can't just solve cases for the sake of solving them. The purpose of a detective revealing the truth is to make the world more peaceful, not just for the truth."

"That's why I'm the symbol of peace and you're just a little brat."

Conan opened his eyes wide and looked at Mouri Kogoro in disbelief.

He understood what Maori meant, but he was not sure whether Maori knew his identity.

If he didn't know, why would he say this to his own child?

If he knew...

Conan stammered for a moment, stiffening his neck as he said, "What would happen if a detective insisted on getting to the bottom of this?"

"Conan!"

Xiaolan looked at Conan angrily. She didn't understand why a child would always provoke her father. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, she lowered her head and slapped Conan's head sternly.

"Uncle Maori!"

However, Conan ignored Xiaolan and just stared at Mouri Kogoro.

At this moment, Maori's nose moved slightly, a strange smell came over, and his heart trembled suddenly.

"not good!"

Maori Kogoro opened his eyes wide and began to search among the crowd. He turned to look at Xiaolan: "Lan, where is the old policeman?"

"Eh?"

Xiaolan turned around in confusion, "He was here all along?"

"Old policeman?"

Conan looked at Maori in doubt, Maori glanced down at him and said quickly, "He is Keiji Aso!"

After saying that, Mao Li immediately turned around and ran back.

"Keiji Aso...? Keiji Aso! Old policeman!"

Conan's mind was struck by lightning, and he finally understood why there was always a missing link in his reasoning!

It turns out that Keiji Aso is not dead, and he is the real murderer!

"not good!"

Conan also reacted, and at this time he also smelled a strange smell, "It's the smell of kerosene and gunpowder!"

Boom!

Just then, there was a sudden explosion in the room and flames burst out.

Mao Li rushed out in a panic, holding Asai Narimi. Asai Narimi struggled to break free from Mao Li's arms, ran into the sea of ​​fire crying, shouting, "Dad!"

However, the old policeman in the room, Keiji Aso, the father of Asai Narumi, gritted his teeth, pushed down his favorite piano, and blocked the burning door.

The flames spread rapidly, completely blocking the passage and preventing Asai Narimi from entering.

She watched the flames devour everything, kneeling on the ground in despair, crying out her father's name.

"Grass……"

Maori cursed and was about to rush in to save people. A piano couldn't stop him.

However, Keiji Aso stopped Mori.

"Don't come over here! If you come over here again, I'll throw you right at my feet."

Aso Keiji held an oil lamp in his hand, and the flame reflected on his resolute face, "Detective Maori, you have a bright future, but it's not worth it to save a prisoner like me."

At this time, the flames had spread, and Conan and Xiaolan, who were outside the door, could no longer get in.

"father!"

Xiaolan was screaming heart-wrenchingly at the door. Conan stared blankly at the spreading fire and thought of what Maori had said before.

If the purpose of exploring the truth is just to drive the criminal into a dead end, then what is the difference between a detective and a criminal?

Uncle Maori... I really understand...

Conan lowered his head, took off his glasses, and cried silently.

"Aso Keiji, what do you want to do?"

Maori stretched out his hand to protect Asai Narimi and directly used his points to exchange for a fire blanket and covered her head with it.

The flames continued to rise, and Maori knew very well that Asai Narimi had already prepared to commit suicide, which was why the flames were spreading so quickly.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was not her but Keiji Aso who was trapped in the sea of ​​fire.

"Detective Maori, don't you understand? This is all my fault. I can't drag anyone down anymore."

Keiji Aso smiled bitterly, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and threw the oil lamp onto the piano in front of him.

Chapter 113: Please, Mr. Maori

Boom!

The piano was completely on fire, and now even the last way of escape was gone.

"You have better options, don't do anything stupid!"

Mao Li said loudly, trying to bring the other party back to reason with words.

Asai Narimi tightly grasped Mori's sleeve, tears streaming down his face, "Dad... don't do this..."

"Chengshi, I'm sorry, I can't escape anymore."

Aso Keiji's voice became lower and lower, "Chengshi, I'm sorry, I have to leave you alone again."

This scene is so similar.

This happened once more than a decade ago.

Destiny may really be a cycle.

Aso Keiji stood in the sea of ​​fire, looked at Asai Narimi tenderly and said, "Don't cry, I have avenged our family. I have killed those three guys. Now, I, a lonely ghost who should have died long ago, should go back to hell completely."

"And you, my daughter, you have a better life and a brighter future."

The light and shadow of the fire reflected on his face, making him look particularly old and tired.

His eyes, which were once full of strength, now contained only endless sadness and apology.

He looked at Asai Narumi deeply, as if he wanted to remember her appearance in his heart forever.

Asai Narimi looked at his father with tears in his eyes, and his throat seemed to be blocked, unable to make a sound.

She wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything.

"Detective Maori, can I ask you a favor?"

Keiji Aso stood in the sea of ​​fire, looking at Kogoro Mori intently.

"You said, as long as I can do it."

Maori nodded solemnly. This was a father's final request, even though he was a murderer.

He avenged his family and committed suicide for his daughter.

As for Keiji Aso, Maori could only remain speechless.

"Please protect Cheng Shi and don't let her get hurt again."

Keiji Aso's voice was filled with deep guilt and endless fatherly love, and his eyes were firm, as if he had made up his mind.

"dad……"

Asai Narimi's voice was choked with sobs, and she tried desperately to break free from Mori's protection, but Mori held her tightly, preventing her from rushing into the sea of ​​fire.

"I will."

Mauli nodded vigorously, "I will give her the best life and let her become the best doctor. This is my promise to you!"

"Okay, from now on, I'll leave it to you."

Keiji Aso smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in that smile.

He glanced at the sea of ​​fire, and finally looked at Asai Chengshi, and said affectionately: "Chengshi, Dad loves you. No matter where you are, Dad will always protect you."

As he finished speaking, Keiji Aso turned around and threw himself directly into the sea of ​​fire.

The flames instantly became more intense and engulfed him entirely.

It turned out that his body was also covered with kerosene.

Keiji Aso has always been pursuing revenge with the determination to die.

Tears welled up in Asai Narumi's eyes and she collapsed on the ground powerlessly, her heart filled with endless sorrow.

"Let's go."

Maori said softly, picked up Asai Narimi, and quickly left the room that had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"Drink!"
