Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Mr. Kitaro and Aunt Mariko had no motive or interest in attacking their son.

Suspicion began to decrease.

Of course, it is not ruled out that they did it on purpose and used their own swords to get rid of the suspicion of murdering Usumoto Gozo.

But Maori felt that they were not capable of doing such a thing with their intelligence.

"Xiao Wu must have escaped!"

"He wants revenge on all of us!"

Fat aunt Mariko covered her face and screamed.

Mao Li was slightly stunned. Oh, and there is also Xiao Wu. But soon he shook his head.

"Not too possible."

"The door of the warehouse is designed to be opened only from the outside. It cannot be opened from the inside. Xiao Wu should still be inside."

"I don't believe it, let's go down and take a look!"

The yellow-haired Ryumoto jumped out again and ran towards the warehouse on the lower floor.

Everyone hurried to catch up, only to find that the lock of the warehouse had been opened at some point!

"Look! It must be Xiao Wu!"

Mariko exclaimed, while Mori looked at everyone with his sharp eyes.

Who opened the warehouse door and let Xiao Wu out?

This adds to the number of suspects.

At this moment, Asai Narimi came down, pulled Maori's hand and said, "Kogoro, I found something."

Maori glanced at the group of people who were still arguing at the warehouse door, handed Xia Jiang to Xiaolan for protection, and followed Asai Narimi to the side.

"After examining the wound, I believe the murder weapon should be a small sharp fruit knife."

Asai Narimi whispered, "The person holding the knife should be a person with less strength. This is consistent with the wound of Usumoto Gozo. The blade is too short, the strength is small, and the wound is shallow."

"That's why Usumoto Gozo died from excessive blood loss, but I don't understand why he didn't ask for help..."

Mao Li suddenly had an idea and began to think about these clues.

Several suspects' faces quickly flashed through his mind and he checked the possibilities one by one. Asai Narimi's discovery undoubtedly provided an important breakthrough in the case.

Finally, Mao Li locked down the suspect——

Akie Samoto!

"Why don't you ask for help..."

"That's because Uzumoto Gozo discovered that the murderer was his granddaughter! Family disgrace should not be made public..."

Maori sighed and said, unfortunately, there is no evidence to prove this reasoning for the time being.

"You mean... Uzumoto Aie..."

Asai Narimi exclaimed softly, then immediately covered his mouth and whispered, "In addition, I also found skin debris in Ichiro Uzumoto's fingernails. He must have injured the prisoner during the fight. Perhaps we can start from here."

"Thanks to you, Chengshi."

Maori laughed, hugged Asai Narimi and kissed him hard.

Asai Narimi's face flushed slightly, and he hugged Maori tightly and responded, "I'm glad I can help Kogoro~"

After the kiss, Mao Li whispered, "Okay, let's go ask Ichiro Uzumoto first!"

The two quickly walked towards the cabin and found Ichiro Uemoto, who was hiding in the room and looked extremely nervous.

"Ichiro, I need to talk to you about something."

Ichiro Uzumoto raised his head, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded and prepared to answer Maori's question.

Maori Kogoro stood in front of Ichiro Ushiomoto, "Ichiro Ushiomoto, tell me, who did you see stabbing you? This is a very important clue."

Ichiro Yasumoto looked obviously hesitant. He lowered his head, unwilling to answer directly.

Mao Li saw this and said in a slightly heavier tone, "Ichiro, this matter concerns the truth of the case. You must tell me the truth. This is your responsibility to everyone!"

"Do you really want to be stabbed for nothing?"

Ichiro Uzumoto swallowed his saliva, looking increasingly nervous, and finally lowered his head and said, "It's... it's Xia Jiang."

Mao Li's brows immediately frowned, "Xia Jiang? Impossible, she was with me at that time, and we were on the deck the whole time."

"But I did see it was Xia Jiang."

Ichiro Uzumoto insisted, his tone somewhat anxious, "At that time, I wanted to hold her back and confess my feelings for her, but I didn't expect her to suddenly stab me and then run away."

Ichiro Uzumoto muttered to himself, his voice full of deep disappointment: "The one just now is the one I really like, Xia Jiang...but she never pays attention to me normally, why is that?"

"Kogoro?"

Asai Narumi was a little confused. She looked at Maori, but Maori smiled.

"I see!"

Chapter 124: Spending my money and playing with other women

When Kogoro Mori returned to the warehouse, he found that a group of people from the Usumoto family were still arguing.

Usamoto Kitaro, Usamoto Mariko, Usamoto Shoji, Usamoto Akie and others continued to accuse each other. Some were angry, some sneered, and the situation was a mess.

Xiaolan has taken Xia Jiang to rest. Xia Jiang has obviously not recovered from his previous emotions, while Conan continues to eat melons at the side...

That is to quietly gather clues from the quarrel.

He carefully observed everyone's words and actions, hoping to find more useful information.

What a useless family feud.

If I can build a wealthy family in the future, I must not let it become like this.

Mao Li sighed, stepped forward, and said solemnly: "Everyone, stop arguing. The most important thing now is to find Xiao Wu. Arguing can't solve the problem!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to Maori's words, and the noise of the quarrel gradually died down.

Mao Li looked around, paused for a moment on Akiie Uzumoto's body and said, "Just now I learned from Ichiro that when the murderer stabbed him, he did not see the true identity of the murderer. However, it is worth noting that the murderer was indeed injured when committing the crime."

"Ichiro has found the murderer's location. Everyone can keep an eye on each other."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people of the Yumoto family suddenly became agitated, whispering to each other, and their expressions became even more nervous.

Especially Ryuo Uzumoto, a trace of panic appeared on his face.

Mariko Uzumoto snorted in dissatisfaction: "What are you implying? Isn't the criminal Xiao Wu?"

Mao Li did not respond to Mariko's question, but said calmly: "I'm going to find Xiao Wu now, you can go back to your room first. Please stay calm and don't create any more chaos."

There was a hint of unquestionable majesty in Maori's tone. Although the people of the Tsumoto family were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to accept Maori's arrangement and dispersed back to their respective rooms.

……

Uzumoto Ryuo followed Uzumoto Akiie with a nervous look on his face and returned to their room.

His heart was pounding and his palms were sweating.

Just now, he had seen several scratches on Akiie Uzumoto's body.

He originally thought that this was left by Akiyo Usumoto when she was being intimate with someone unknown, but now it seems that it was most likely scratched by Ichiro.

To be honest, they both just play their own games and don't really have much affection for each other.

Akiyo Uzumoto closed the door, and the air in the room seemed to freeze. She walked to the closet in silence and began to change her clothes.

As she took off her clothes one by one, several obvious scratches were exposed to Ryuo Uzumoto's sight.

Ryuo Uzumoto was panicked and took a few steps back, his throat so dry that he couldn't speak.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but they were all crushed by fear.

“You saw that, didn’t you?”

Uzumoto Akiie spoke coldly, staring at Uzumoto Ryuo with eyes as sharp as knives.

Uzumoto Ryuo trembled all over and stammered, "I... I didn't see anything!"

Uzumoto Akie sneered, continued to change his clothes, and then slowly walked towards Uzumoto Ryuo.

"Remember, you saw nothing and you know nothing. Do you understand?"

Uzumoto Ryuo nodded repeatedly, his voice trembling: "I understand, I understand."

Akie Uzumoto nodded with satisfaction, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, his hands crossed on his knees, his eyes full of indifference and calculation.

Ryuo Uzumoto stood aside, feeling as if he was in the middle of a huge conspiracy, unable to break free and daring not to resist.

"Forget it, I'd better kill you. It's too much trouble."

Akie Tsunamoto was silent for a while and suddenly stood up.

She walked towards Uzumoto Ryuo indifferently, "Since the crime has been pushed onto Xiaowu, you won't make a difference."

Ryuo Uzumoto's face turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead.

He took a few steps back, trembling, his voice trembling: "Qiu Jiang, you...are you kidding me?"

Akie Tsunamoto looked at him coldly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Do you think I'm kidding? You know too much. I can't take the risk."

"You always feel good spending my money and playing with other women, right?"

"I just used you as a shield."

Ryuo Uzumoto swallowed his saliva, the fear made it almost impossible for him to think.

He glanced at the door, wondering if he could rush out to ask for help, but Uzumoto Akiie seemed to see through his thoughts and blocked his way out.

"Qiu Jiang, don't be like this..."

Uzumoto Ryuo tried to plead, "We can deal with Mori together, as long as you trust me..."

Akiyo Uzumaki sneered, "Trust you? Do you think I would leave my fate to a weak and incompetent person?"

Ryuo Uzumoto's heart completely collapsed. He watched Qiu Jiang approaching step by step, and his whole body seemed to be frozen and unable to move.

Just as Akie Usumoto was about to approach him, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

Kogoro Mouri kicked the door open and happened to see Akiie Usumoto approaching Ryuo Usumoto with a knife.

"stop!"

Maori Kogoro shouted, "Azumoto Akiie, your crime has been exposed!"

"Mr. Maori!!!"

Ryuo Usumoto crawled out, crying while hugging Maori with tears streaming down his face.

"Hey, get going, get going."

Mao Li kicked him away in disgust and walked into the room with one hand in his pocket.

"There is an old saying in Dragon Country: the mouth of a bamboo snake is like a sting on a wasp's tail. Both are possible, but the most poisonous is a woman's heart!"

"The criminal who murdered Mr. Usamoto Gozo, assassinated Usamoto Ichiro, and was about to attack Usamoto Ryuo was you, Miss Usamoto Akiie!"

Uzumoto Akie's expression turned extremely ugly. She stopped and looked at Maori Kogoro coldly: "How did you know?"

Maori Kogoro sneered: "I have suspected you for a long time. After I found skin fragments under Ichiro's fingernails, I have been looking for an opportunity to expose your true face."

"I'm actually also wondering why Uzumoto Gozo didn't shout, and why Uzumoto Ichiro kept it a secret about who assassinated him."

"That's right. Everything I said before was a lie. Ichiro Uzumoto has already seen your face."

Uzumoto Akie's eyes flickered, as if he regretted not stabbing Uzumoto Ichiro to death with a single blow, thus exposing himself to a flaw.

"Then tell me, why is this happening?"

Akiyo Tsumoto snorted coldly, put down the knife in his hand, slowly leaned aside, and lit a lady's cigarette.
