Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

She said this in a haughty manner, then turned and left, her coldness and arrogance clearly revealed, making people sigh that she was truly a spoiled rich girl.

Seeing this, Xiaolan and Conan felt a little dissatisfied.

Xiaolan frowned and whispered, "This is too much. How can you treat a gift from someone else like this?"

Conan nodded in dissatisfaction, "Yeah, that's really rude."

Mao Li smiled and patted Xiaolan on the shoulder, "Don't mind it, she's just a little girl. Children are always a little willful."

"Alright, alright, let's all go in first!"

Chairman Shijing was a little embarrassed, but after all, Shijing Rika was his only daughter, and he basically doted on her, so he couldn't say anything.

The group entered the villa, and celebrities and wealthy people from various places arrived one after another to celebrate Shijing Lihua's birthday.

Maori took a glance and saw that except for a few large conglomerates like the Suzuki family, almost all other large companies had people coming. It was obvious that the strength of the Yotsuui family was also extraordinary.

But what does it have to do with him? Although he is the controller of Beidou Group in secret, he is just a detective in public.

Maori shrugged, too lazy to socialize so much, and simply focused on the food in front of him.

People who work hard to eat, people who work hard to eat, are the best people!

……

After a while, the birthday party officially began. Everyone gathered in front of the cake and wished Si Jing Lihua a happy birthday.

Chairman Shijing stood aside, a proud smile on his face.

He said kindly, "Lihua, come and blow out the candles."

Si Jing Lihua walked to the cake with a rare happy expression on her face.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and gently blew out the candles on the cake.

There was a burst of applause at the scene. Lihua clasped her hands together and made a wish. Then she opened her eyes and said to her father and the guests present: "Thank you, Dad, for organizing this birthday party for me. Thank you all for your blessings."

Everyone applauded and gave gifts, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

"It seems that the Shijing family is still very powerful..."

Xiaolan and Conan were also applauding there. She glanced at Kogoro Mouri, who was completely unconcerned and just kept eating, and pulled him nervously.

"Dad, do you want to clap? Will someone say you're being impolite?"

Conan also laughed twice with dead fish eyes. Uncle Maori was exaggerating too much.

"It's okay, they won't care."

Maori elegantly stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth and took a sip of red wine.

The food is pretty good and delicious.

As expected, President Shioi didn't care about Maori's etiquette at all. He just watched happily as everyone blessed Shioi Reika.

He went on to say, “Thank you very much for coming here today to support Lihua’s birthday party. I also hope that everyone will continue to support the Sijing Group.”

Changing the subject, President Shijing smiled mysteriously and said, "We have a special guest today. I believe everyone will be very surprised."

Everyone's eyes turned to the direction President Shii pointed, and saw Maori Kogoro sitting there elegantly, concentrating on tasting the food.

He has an upright posture and graceful movements, like a gentleman from a foreign country, exuding a charming temperament.

"father!"

Xiaolan became nervous, but Kogoro Mouri noticed everyone's gaze, looked up, and calmly raised the red wine glass in his hand to greet everyone.

This move immediately attracted the attention and admiration of the audience, and many people whispered about his style and charm.

President Shijing introduced: "This is our famous detective Maori Kogoro, the savior of Tokyo and the symbol of peace! It is our honor to invite him to celebrate Lihua's birthday today."

There was warm applause again at the scene, and everyone looked at Mao Li with admiration.

Xiaolan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Maori looking so glorious in front of everyone.

He is worthy of being a dad. He is so handsome!

Maori Kogoro stood up with a smile, holding the wine glass and curling his lips: "To the youth of all of us! Happy birthday!"

His voice is gentle yet powerful, and his movements are dashing and handsome, just like a world-famous painting.

Shii Rika looked at Maori. Although her face was still cold and arrogant, a hint of admiration could not help but flashing in her eyes.

Chapter 154: Little Blackie

After the banquet began, the guests gradually began to interact and communicate.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking timid came forward. He carefully took out a business card, handed it to Maori Kogoro, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Maori. My name is Ichieda Takashi. It's a great honor to meet you. Your reasoning ability is really unparalleled!"

Mao Li raised an eyebrow and took the business card, and replied politely: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yizhi."

At the same time, another handsome man with curly hair came over and said with a confident smile: "Detective Maori, it's really eye-opening. I heard that all the criminals will confess their crimes without hesitation after seeing you. Your reputation is really far-reaching. It's no wonder that President Shijing personally invited you."

"Oh, by the way, my name is Nikaidou Yuji, please give me your guidance."

Maori smiled back and said politely, "Mr. Nikaido, you are too kind. As a detective, my duty is to bring the truth to everyone."

Suddenly, a crowd began to gather around Maori, and they were all very interested in Maori.

At this time, a dark-skinned man with a ponytail came from the corner of the banquet. He had a very strong aura and directly interrupted the flattery of others, saying in a somewhat impatient voice: "Alright, alright, everyone, stop flattering me. Mr. Maori is just a middle-aged uncle, don't praise him to the sky."

He was full of confidence and aura. He walked up to Mao Li and said arrogantly, "I am Takuya Mifune, the president of Mifune Electronics Industry."

"I always believe in electronic devices and data. I don't have much respect for detectives."

Holy shit! That's spot on! That's right on the mark!

Conan nodded at Mifune in amazement. Although Uncle Mori was indeed very powerful, in his opinion, he was just an uncle, and he agreed with Mifune.

"Mifune!"

"How rude!"

Ichieda Takashi and Nikaido Yuji both started to complain for Mori, but Mori clapped his hands without caring at all, "Hey, everyone's perception of me is different. There are a hundred Hamlets for a hundred people. We need to accept more evaluations in order to make ourselves better."

"Mr. Maori..."

"Been taught a lesson!"

The people around nodded to Mori and cast contemptuous glances at Mifune.

Takuya Mifune was a little embarrassed and quickly talked to another slightly plump man next to him.

He asked with a somewhat disdainful tone: "Gojo, do you also think that Maori Kogoro is not that outstanding? The profession of detective is not open to the public!"

Gojo Osamu glanced at Mifune, then at Maori, nodded slightly, and replied with a hint of embarrassment and helplessness: "Indeed, he doesn't look like the dignified detective I imagined."

"I thought he would be a serious middle-aged man with a beard, but he turned out to be a handsome guy who looked like a celebrity. It was really not what I expected."

Is there anything wrong with being handsome?

Mao Li was really at a loss for words. As a big star, he would have all kinds of haters.

If we were to quibble over every comment from these little black guys, Mao Li would probably be exhausted.

Just as the two were talking, a handsome middle-aged man of medium build and well-dressed came over. He walked steadily and seemed calm and unhurried.

The man's name was Masashi Rokuda. He had his hands in his pockets and a look of deep insight in his eyes.

His voice was slightly playful and didactic, and he said with a faint smile: "You young people often don't understand these sophisticated techniques. The truly powerful eagles always hide their claws."

He turned around and looked at Mao Li, his eyes revealing a bit of admiration: "Mr. Mao Li's frivolous and handsome appearance is actually to paralyze the criminals, right? You think such people are easily underestimated, so they can better conduct investigations and solve cases, right?"

"Mr. Maori, my name is Masashi Rokuda, nice to meet you!"

Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro shook hands with Rokuda Masashi and said, "Mr. Rokuda, your observation is very accurate. Indeed, sometimes a relaxed and casual appearance can help me better integrate into various environments and understand more of the real situation."

It is human nature that people are more tolerant of beautiful things.

Rokuda Masashi nodded slightly, seeming to be satisfied with Maori's answer, but soon he changed the subject and began to say: "I think Miss Shijing must have discovered this very early, so she has always admired Mr. Maori!"

"Yes, yes! Miss, she is so amazing!"

"Not only is she beautiful, she also has good taste!"

"I wonder who can win her heart!"

"Anyway, he must be a lucky man. After all, if he marries Miss Shijing, he will inherit the entire Shijing Group!"

All of a sudden, those guys who were talking about Mao Li all changed their tune and started praising Shii Reika.

Maori was a little surprised. He turned around and saw that it was Shijing Lihua who was coming towards him.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall changed instantly.

The few people who were whispering about Kogoro Mori just now now turned to Yotsuga Reika.

Her arrival was like a storm, bringing a strong scent.

Shijing Lihua walked proudly in her gorgeous red dress, and her golden necklace and bracelets sparkled in the light.

She is the absolute focus of this birthday party.

"I really hate this woman..."

Xiaolan lowered her head and spoke to Conan silently, and Conan nodded in agreement.

She was too arrogant. Even Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, was not as arrogant as her.

Siyi Lihua impatiently walked past the men who were flattering her and came in front of Maori.

Her eyes swept over Maoli wantonly, as if she was sizing up his calm demeanor.

Maori is different from all other men.

They all think of themselves as treasures, but Mao Li is the only one who ignores and treats himself like a worn-out shoe.

Shii Lihua raised her glass lightly and elegantly offered a glass of wine to Maori, then said in a confident and slightly commanding tone: "Mr. Maori, there are still some things about the previous commission that need further discussion. Why don't you come with me and let's find a place to talk."

Her words were like a needle, piercing the noise of the party.

All eyes were on Maori, filled with envy.

It was an enviable opportunity for Kogoro Maori to have the chance to talk to Yotsugu Rika alone.

Mao Li smiled and stood up, gently raised his glass to return the toast to Shii Reika, and said politely: "Of course, Miss Reika. If you feel it is necessary, I would be happy to chat with you."

Shii Rika nodded with satisfaction, smiled gently, turned around gracefully, and led Maori to a room nearby.

Chapter 155: I Don't Want Money for Remuneration

Kogoro Maori followed Rika Shii into a small, beautifully decorated living room.

Rika Shii stopped at the door, turned around and looked at Maori with a cold and arrogant look, then pushed the door open and motioned for him to go in.

Maori walked into the small living room. The decoration in the room was exquisite and elegant, exuding a strong aristocratic atmosphere.

Crystal chandeliers sparkle brightly on the ceiling, velvet curtains hang on both sides of the tall windows, and antique furniture and famous paintings make the entire room look like a museum.

Shii Rika closed the door, turned to face Maori, raised her chin slightly, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.

Her eyes lingered on Mauli's face for a moment, as if assessing his reaction.

Maori chuckled, found a sofa to sit down like a master, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette for himself with elegant and confident movements.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "Ms. Sijing, please tell me what you want to say. There's no need to mention the previous request to find the dog. Let's talk about the specific matter."

Shijing Lihua frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Maori's casual attitude.

Her eyes turned cold, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, with some elusive emotion.

"Mr. Maori," her voice was calm and clear, with a hint of barely perceptible authority, "I asked you to come here for more than just a simple matter of looking for a dog. Since you've already guessed it, why not get straight to the point."

Mao Li's eyes remained calm, as if he was not affected at all by Shijing Lihua's cold attitude.

He took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled slowly, and said with a smile: "In that case, please speak frankly, Ms. Shijing. I'm happy to listen to it. If there is anything worth talking about."

Looking at Maori's indifferent attitude, Shii Rika felt both annoyed and curious.

She didn't understand why this man could be so calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.
