But the feeling of stepping on it just now was also good.
As the saying goes, S is often another kind of M.
In front of Mori, a man who has absolute control, the spoiled daughter of a wealthy family, Rika Shioi, can only obey his orders.
"Very good, Lihua."
Maori touched her head with satisfaction. Shii Rika looked up at Maori, who had been tidied up and regained his elegant demeanor.
Her mindset completely changed and she thought Kogoro Mouri was really handsome!
"Mr. Maori... my safety is in your hands!"
Shii Reika stood up gracefully and bowed to Maori to express her gratitude.
Mao Li held her chin with his hand and whispered in her ear, "Of course no problem, I am very satisfied with the reward. I hope that after the commission is completed, Lihua can give me more reward as a bonus."
Shijing Lihua blushed and nodded, saying, "Everything is as Mr. Maori wished."
Chapter 157: Want to Catch Them All
Rika Shii regained her cool demeanor, took off her white socks and put on a pair of black socks.
Now she is wearing a red dress with black stockings, which makes her look even cooler and more noble, with a strong sense of contrast.
She returned to the dinner party with Mauli.
As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Xiaolan and Conan came over and asked with concern what Maori had just talked about with Shii Reika.
"Ms. Shii asked me to protect her."
Mao Li took a sip of champagne and said, "I need to follow her all the way today."
Xiaolan nodded to show her understanding.
After all, as a rich girl, it's normal for her to worry about her own safety and entrust her father to protect her.
Fortunately, the two of them were talking about serious matters in the room.
Xiaolan patted her chest gently. She was a little jealous just now, thinking that her father and Miss Shijing did something in the room.
But I guess I'm overthinking it.
After all, Ms. Shijing walked normally and didn't look like she had done anything.
Conan didn't think as much as Xiaolan did. He just looked at Maori with envy. The little boy, whose observation ability far exceeded that of ordinary people, obviously noticed that Shii Rika's attitude towards Maori was different, and there was even a hint of awe in it.
Besides, she even changed her socks!
They both definitely did something, so enviable!
Conan got up, took a lemon from the table and put it in his mouth.
The dinner continued and Shii Reika remained the focus of the whole event.
She became extremely reserved when drinking and chatting, keeping a certain distance from other men, and occasionally glanced at Maori secretly.
Every time her eyes met Maori's, he nodded to her gracefully, indicating that everything was under control.
Sijing Lihua's performance surprised all the guests present. Her cold attitude and reserved behavior made her look more mysterious and charming.
"Ah...it would be great if I could marry Miss Lihua."
Nikaidou Yuji sighed, with envy in his eyes.
Others echoed, expressing their admiration for the beauty and nobility of Yotsuoi Reika. The banquet gradually ended with such exclamations, and the guests left one after another, leaving only President Yotsuoi, Yotsuoi Reika, Ichieda Takashi, Nikaido Yuji, Mifune Takuya, Gojo Osamu, Rokuta Masashi, and the three people of Mori.
Just as everyone was about to disperse, a guard stepped forward quickly and said nervously, "President! The tire of the car that the young lady was riding in just now has a flat tire."
"how so……"
At this time, Rika Shii was wearing a snow-white windbreaker and looked like a beautiful white swan.
She said with some dissatisfaction, "What should I do then?"
Nikaidou Yuji's eyes lit up, "Then I'll use my Ferrari to send Miss Lihua back!"
"No, no, no, just use my Mercedes!"
Not willing to be outdone, Gojo Xiu jumped out.
"Mine is a big Lao! Take my car!"
"…But everyone's tires are flat!"
The guard added helplessly.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately ran out to check their cars.
Sure enough, all the cars' tires were punctured and the scene was in chaos.
"How can this be!"
Nikaidou Yuji frowned and looked at the tires of his luxury car in disbelief.
"Who did it?" Takuya Mifune kicked the wheel angrily.
"Who is playing a prank!?"
"This is obviously not an accident!"
Rokuda Masashi pondered, a hint of alertness in his eyes.
Chairman Sijing frowned, watching the luxury cars of the crowd unable to leave one after another, and finally suggested: "How about finding some undamaged cars to send everyone down in batches?"
At this time, Shijing Lihua snorted coldly, and her temper immediately flared up: "No! Anyway, Mr. Maori will protect me. I will stay in this villa tonight and leave tomorrow."
"Anyway, Aunt Nanami, who has served me since I was a child, is in the villa and will be able to take good care of me."
Everyone agreed and said, "Miss Lihua is right. This is also good."
"Since Miss Lihua has said so, let's stay."
So everyone followed him back to the villa.
Back in the living room, Nikaido Yuji took out a deck of playing cards and said with a grin, "Why don't we play cards? We have nothing to do anyway!"
"Okay, that's fine."
Sijing Lihua nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Mifune Takuya seemed impatient. He leaned on the sofa and said coldly: "I don't want to spoil you. Anyway, I don't want to be the son-in-law of the Shijing family. I'm leaving first."
As a result, as soon as he stood up, Sijing Lihua shouted at him: "Michuan! If you dare to leave, Sijing Group will cut off Michuan's business tomorrow!"
Mifune clenched his fists in anger, his face turned livid, but he finally held back and sat heavily back on the sofa.
Mao Li took the opportunity to ask Shijing Lihua in a low voice: "What are your plans?"
Sijing Lihua lowered her voice and looked stern: "Everyone here is suspected of killing me, I can't let anyone go."
Mao Li raised an eyebrow and nodded, it made sense.
It’s better to catch them all in one fell swoop. Don’t waste time.
With a rich girl like Rika Shioi playing her true self and stirring up everyone's emotions, it would be easier to catch the criminal who wants to kill her.
"In that case, then you can act even more ruthless and make everyone hate you. Then you can say that you are going to change clothes and be alone to attract the prisoners to attack you."
Mao Li whispered to Shijing Lihua, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side."
Sijing Lihua nodded vigorously: "Okay, let's do it."
She straightened her back, raised her head, resumed her cool demeanor, and walked back to the center of the living room.
Sijing Lihua's eyes swept over everyone present, with a hint of provocation and disdain: "Actually, I don't care whether you like me or want to be my husband, but you must remember that you are all just caged birds raised by my Sijing Group. I give you some bait to eat so that you can survive."
"Don't try to resist me. You can't afford it."
There was silence in the living room, and the atmosphere became more tense.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with anxiety.
Sijing Lihua then said: "I'm going to change my clothes, Aunt Mi, come and help me."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked upstairs, deliberately slowing down her pace so that everyone would notice her leaving.
Old lady Nanao Mi followed Yotsuika up the stairs, with Mori quietly following behind her to ensure her safety.
Sijing Lihua walked into her room, closed the door, leaned against the door panel, and took a deep breath.
Her heart was beating fast and she turned to look for Maori.
Mao Li hid in the corner and nodded to Shijing Lihua, "Don't worry, I'm here."
"Please don't leave me, Mr. Maori."
Shii Lihua was very dependent on Maori. She spoke to him fearfully and started to change her clothes.
"Um...Mr. Maori, would you like to go out for a while?"
Nanami, who was helping Yotsuki Reika change her clothes, spoke to Mori hesitantly, but Yotsuki Reika interrupted her directly, "It's okay, let Mr. Mori watch it."
He's seen everything anyway.
"oh oh……"
Nanao Mi looked at Mao Li in disbelief. Such an attitude of the young lady...
Could it be that the future head of the Shii family will be this Mori detective?
Chapter 158: I can agree to any of your requests
Maori looked at Shii Reika, who shyly changed her clothes in front of him and prepared to take a bath.
There was a blush on Sijing Lihua's face, making her look particularly charming.
However, as time passed, the expected attack did not occur.
Just when Maori was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Xiaolan's scream suddenly came from downstairs.
"orchid!"
Mao Li was startled and quickly looked back at Shijing Lihua.
Sijing Lihua nodded quickly and said anxiously: "I'm in the room, I won't run around, go and check first."
Mao Li nodded and hurried downstairs.
When he rushed downstairs, he saw everyone gathered in the yard, and Nikaido Yuji was buried in the pool, drowned.
Maori hurried forward, and Xiaolan threw herself into his arms, her eyes full of fear.
Mao Li patted her back gently and said soothingly: "Don't be afraid, Dad is here."
He saw Conan had already started to observe the surroundings carefully, so he quickly rushed over to check.
"Conan, did you find anything?"
Maori asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the body in the pool.
Conan frowned and carefully examined Nikaidou Yuji's face and hands.
He raised his head and said seriously, "There are some scratches on his hands and obvious bruises on his face. It doesn't look like an accidental drowning..."
Then Conan reacted, smiled cutely and said, "Ahahaha... I was just kidding, Uncle Maori!"
Maori was too lazy to pay attention to Conan pretending to be a child. He glanced down at the corpse and nodded.
This kid is right. Nikaido Yuji was drowned by someone who grabbed his head and pushed him into the water.
Mao Li's eyes swept over everyone present. Everyone's expression was a little nervous, and some even had a hint of fear and uneasiness.
"Everyone stay here and don't move."
Mao Li said calmly, "We need to investigate carefully to see if there are any other clues."
Seeing that Maori ignored him, Conan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to check around the pool.
This time, he wants to solve the case faster than Maori!
However, Maori had no intention of investigating the scene immediately. He turned around and took Xiaolan back to Shii Reika's room upstairs.
The ultimate goal of those who stay here tonight must be to kill Yotsuba Rika. As long as Maori controls the final result, he will not go wrong!
