Maori lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring.
Douyuan Jiusaku finally couldn't hide it anymore, his face turned pale, and he sat down on the ground dejectedly.
His beard trembled violently and his eyes were filled with despair and fear.
"Why, Grandpa?"
Douyuan Taeko burst into tears, unable to believe what she saw.
"I...I just want to protect your reputation and the reputation of the shrine..."
Douyuan Jiusaku whispered, his voice full of regret, "I already knew that the bastard Anzai had stolen the things from the shrine, and he kept pestering Taeko. I was afraid that he would ruin Taeko's reputation and the reputation of our shrine, so..."
"You are the one who really ruined the reputation of the shrine!"
Maori said sharply, his tone full of blame, "You chose the most wrong way to protect the reputation of the shrine. Not only did your actions fail to protect the shrine, but they also tarnished its sanctity."
When Douyuan Jiusaku heard Mori's accusation, he broke down and cried.
He knelt weakly on the ground and kowtowed to the shrine repeatedly, tears welling up in his eyes and sliding down to the ground.
At this moment, several bloody coins rolled out of the coin box and fell in front of him, as if the gods were telling him something.
Douyuan Jiusaku kowtowed deeply, clasped his hands together, and muttered to himself: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I was wrong..."
He knelt there, tears streaming down his face, his shoulders shaking.
The bloody coins lay quietly in front of him, as if silently judging his crimes.
The people around watched this scene with complex emotions in their hearts, including pity, anger, and endless emotion.
Mao Li looked at everything in front of him and sighed: "This is the price of crime. No matter how justified the starting point is, wrong behavior will eventually be punished."
Chapter 141 I want one too!
The case was finally settled, and Inspector Megure took Mamegaki Hisasaku away from the Beika Shrine.
Douyuan Hisasaku, with a haggard face and unconcealable regret in his eyes, was escorted down the mountain by the police. His fate from now on will be decided by the law.
The police found the sacrificial items that had been stolen in the secret room under the shrine.
For the sake of the shrine, Douyuan Hisayuki spent a lot of effort to buy back these sacrificial items bit by bit, hid them in a secret room, and covered them in the basement of the shrine together with the new stone lions.
Anzai Morio lost his life because of these sacrificial items, and eventually these items helped Mori solve the case. It can be said that all this seems to be a cycle of cause and effect.
Anzai's death not only exposed Douyuan Jiusaku's crimes, but also made the truth come to light.
After seeing these sacrificial items, Mamoguchi Taeko collapsed. She quit her job on the crew on the spot and chose to work as a shrine maiden in a shrine to atone for her sins.
Shimazaki Yuji was devoted to Mamegaki Taeko and he quit his job to help her maintain the shrine.
The crew suffered a severe blow because of this incident, and the originally joyful filming atmosphere was shrouded in shadow.
Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, Mao Li decided to disband the crew and take a few days off to give everyone some time to relax.
During these days, everyone can stay away from stressful work and adjust their mood.
As the incident came to a complete end, peace gradually returned to the shrine, and the temple fair of the gods once again shone faintly in the quiet night.
Under the starry sky, the Rice Flower Shrine has once again returned to tranquility and peace...
Maybe not?
……
"Mr. Maori! I want to do what Terumi did!?"
Yoko Okino was sweating profusely on the hill under the starry sky, her fair skin shining in the starlight.
“Ah… so good!”
"As expected, I am much better than Terumi, right, Mr. Mori!?"
"Stronger!"
Yoko Okino was 200% determined to fight against the evil dragon Mori.
But it was obvious that she was no match for Maori.
In the same position under the starry sky, Mao Li filled up Okino Yoko as well.
She was satisfied. After all, she was the number one in the Earth Ladies Team.
This is also true in performances and in sex with Mr. Maori.
Humph, how can Yuko Ikezawa, who only knows how to practice singing with Mr. Maori every day, be better than me!
……
The next morning, Mao Li drove home from Yoko Okino's house. As soon as he arrived at the office, Tongzi handed him yesterday's reward.
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission: Gotei 2000! Solve the mystery of the stone lions, get 28000 points, a pair of mini stone lions to protect the house, currently have points left]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest: Get the Universal Roulette 1 time! Currently accumulated 4 times! Do you want to draw a prize? ]
[Stone lions (mini): Guarding the house to ward off evil spirits, protecting wealth and gathering energy. 】
Yo?
Maori was delighted to see this reward. The regular points and the Roulette of All Worlds were nothing special, but this stone lion was quite cute.
He took out the pair of mini stone lions from the system space, opened the door and returned home.
Xiaolan was reading a book in the living room at the time. When she saw her father come in with a pair of exquisite little stone lions, she immediately came over out of curiosity.
"Xiaolan, look at this pair of little things I brought back."
Maori proudly showed the stone lion to Xiaolan, with a satisfied look in his eyes.
"Wow, it's beautiful! What is this?"
Xiaolan looked at the pair of mini stone lions curiously. The patterns carved on their bodies were delicate and vivid, as if every detail was telling a story.
"This is the reward I got for solving the case at the Rice Flower Shrine."
Mao Li replied proudly, "They are auspicious objects that can ward off evil spirits and protect the house. I heard that putting them at home can ensure safety and bring wealth."
Conan came over at this time. Hearing what Maori said, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he rolled his eyes. He thought to himself: "Stone lion? Maybe it was brought from the Beihua Shrine? It looks quite similar."
"Wow... this stone lion is so small and cute. It's completely different from the huge stone lion at the Beika Shrine!"
Conan acted cute and deliberately made fun of Maori, but got a slap in the face from Maori in the end.
"What do you know, little brat? This is good stuff! It's been blessed!"
Maori glared at Conan and said, "The system's products must be top quality!"
Xiaolan couldn't help laughing and reached out to touch the stone lions: "Dad, you are amazing! These stone lions look so elegant, they should bring good luck to our family, right?"
Maori nodded and smiled happily, "Yes, they will definitely bring a little luck to our family."
Conan held his head and looked at the stone lion, then walked aside with his dead eyes rolled.
This pair of stone lions does look a little special, but they are just a pair of small gadgets.
However, since it can make Uncle Maori so happy, let him be.
As a result, something unexpected happened to Conan.
Not long after Mao Li placed the pair of mini stone lions at home, the doorbell of the office rang.
Mao Li went downstairs and opened the door, and was greeted by a well-dressed butler.
He respectfully handed over an invitation letter and briefly explained the purpose: "Mr. Maori, this is an invitation letter for the birthday party of Shijing Group's daughter Shijing Lihua. The party will be held in a few days. Miss Shijing hopes that you can attend. In addition, we also enclosed a commission, hoping that you can help us find a lost dog."
The butler handed the commission document to Maori, who took it and looked at it. It described in detail the characteristics of the lost dog and the reward for finding the dog - up to one million yen.
Mao Li laughed, "I have also heard about the Four Wells Group. You don't need to give me such a big gift to invite me."
He casually put the commission document aside, and Conan grabbed it stealthily and took a look, and found that what was written on it was very simple.
"Dog characteristics: casual."
random……
In other words, any dog will do the job, just give Maori one million as a gift!
Conan threw the commission document aside speechlessly. Obviously, the Shijing Group hoped to please Mao Li through this high-value commission and let him participate in the banquet.
He glanced at the pair of stone lions and wondered if these things were really useful.
"The young lady and the master are looking forward to Mr. Maori's arrival and hope that he can do them the honor."
The butler saluted with a smile. After all, he was from a large group and he still behaved with etiquette.
"Okay, I'll accept this commission. I'll attend the banquet when the time comes."
Maori nodded and took the gift box handed to him by the butler, which was heavy with money.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Maori. Goodbye."
The butler left with a smile. Xiaolan was surprised and took the cash. "Wow... Is the stone lion really that powerful? The Shijing family gave one million directly?"
"It's a coincidence for sure!"
Conan firmly refused to believe such a thing and began to study the stone lion angrily.
"Hey, that's perfect. Let's go change our passbook today and deposit this money at the same time."
Mao Li snapped his fingers, "Let's go to Rice Flower Bank!"
Chapter 142: The Billion Yen Robbery
The weather was just right today, so Maori took the money and passbook and drove to the Beika Bank with Xiaolan and Conan.
Maori walked to a window and started the passbook and deposit procedures.
The girl working at the window was a little shaken when she saw Mao Li, but she quickly calmed herself down and continued to handle her business.
The girl had long black hair neatly combed into a ponytail, light makeup on her face and a professional smile on her lips.
Her name tag reads "Masami Hirota."
Mao Li noticed that she was different and quickly recognized her - she was Miyano Akemi, with whom he had had a relationship before.
This time, it seems that she has changed her name to Hirota Masami again.
Obviously this name has considerable meaning to Miyano Akemi.
Soon, the system confirmed that the girl in front of it was Miyano Akemi as Maori had guessed.
[Miyano Akemi's impression: -50 (having a grudge)]
Miyano Akemi obviously hated Maori, but in order to disguise herself, she tried to keep a smile on her face: "Excuse me, what business do you need?"
Mao Li smiled and handed over the passbook and cash: "Deposit it, and then change a bank card."
Miyano Akemi lowered her head and began to handle her business.
"Long time no see, Ms. Hirota."
Mao Li deliberately spoke softly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
When Miyano Akemi heard this, the smile on her face froze a little, but she quickly returned to her professional smile: "Mr. Maori, long time no see. How have you been recently?"
"It's okay, same as always."
Mao Li shrugged, "How about you? You seem to be doing well. I didn't expect that you jumped from a country girl to a bank clerk?"
"Ha ha……"
Miyano Akemi smiled and ignored Maori's question, continuing to handle the procedures. However, Maori keenly noticed that her hands were shaking a little and her eyes glanced at her watch from time to time.
"Ms. Hirota, it looks like you have something urgent to do?"
Mao Li deliberately asked, Miyano Akemi's face slightly changed, but she quickly returned to her professional smile: "No, I just check the time."
