Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

Maori shrugged and walked aside.

……

On the side of the road next to the tracks, Maori walked silently with Sonoko and others, and like Conan, he was thinking about the case silently.

The first was a murder that occurred after the fireworks display. At that time, they happened to pass by the woods where the crime scene occurred, and the murderer seemed to have mistakenly thought that Yuanzi had taken a photo.

Then the next day, Daoxie showed up and asked Yuanzi out for a date.

At night, Yuanzi was attacked in her room, and the camera in her messy luggage was opened. The criminals seemed to be targeting the film inside.

At that time, Yuanzi bit the gangster's hairy arm, but Daoxie, who rushed to the hotel later, did not have any injuries on his arm, not even a hair.

Then there is today's car falling off a cliff incident...

If I'm not mistaken, Daoxie must have seen Sonoko passing by with a camera after committing the crime, and for some reason he misunderstandingly thought that Sonoko took a photo of him and the victim together, so he went out of his way to find Sonoko for a date the next day.

Besides that, there might be a reason why they specifically targeted brown-haired girls.

Everything that follows makes sense, but there is no evidence...

"However, we had planned to go back directly after dinner, so we put our luggage in the car," Xiaolan sighed, "and now it's all burned."

"Yeah, it's really unlucky," Sonoko complained, "Why did this happen to me?"

"You guys are fine, but I lost my car," Daoxie said with a wry smile, "but compared to the photos you took, it's nothing. After all, photos can't be bought back with money."

"In the end, only those two photos are left," Sonoko nodded, thankfully saying, "Luckily I kept them with me..."

"Please," Xiaolan blushed, "are you still keeping it?"

"Yes, one is for your husband who is obsessed with mystery, and one is for me as a souvenir..."

"Garden!"

"Hey, Yuanzi," Daoxie suddenly came closer, pointed behind him and whispered, "We seem to be followed."

"what?"

Yuanzi turned around and saw a fat uncle with his hat brim pulled down following slowly behind her.

"Could it be the murderer?"

"Do we have to run?" Daoxie blinked, and suddenly pulled Yuanzi into the woods nearby.

"Run!"

"Mr. Daoxie?" Xiaolan hurriedly chased after Daoxie, "It would be even more dangerous to run into a forest like this!"

"No, this is exciting enough, right?" Daoxie pulled Yuanzi, who was blushing, and shouted to Xiaolan behind him, "Let's split up and get rid of that guy!"

Maori paused at the fork in the road, staring intently at Daoxie and Yuanzi as they disappeared into the woods, then he quickly followed them.

The uncle who seemed to be problematic at the back was actually a policeman, and Daoxie, who seemed to be fine, actually had a real problem - if Maori was still a little uncertain before Daoxie ran into the woods, he was basically certain now.

On the surface, it seems that he wanted to get rid of the stalker, but after treating the Taoist Association as criminals, his sinister intentions were obvious.

On the other side of the woods, the fat uncle hurriedly caught up with Xiaolan and Conan, but gradually lost sight of their target: "Damn it, I lost them!"

"That's it!" Xiaolan jumped from the tree to the fat uncle. "If you think we can only run away, you are wrong! You murderer!"

"Hey, no..."

The fat uncle took a few steps back in panic, but was pricked in the foot by a branch and fell to the ground screaming in pain.

"it hurts!"

"Who told you to come into the woods wearing slippers!" Xiaolan grabbed the fat uncle's hairy arm fiercely, "Let me see, the teeth marks where Yuanzi bit last night are here, right?"

"Wait, wait a minute! I'm not a murderer..." the fat uncle explained hurriedly, "I'm a detective in Chiba Prefecture, and I'm just tracking down a suspect in a case!"

"Suspect?" Xiaolan checked the uncle's arms but found no bite marks. "What's going on?"

Deep in the woods, Daoxie and Yuanzi stopped running. Daoxie, who was wearing slippers, accidentally got his foot pricked by a branch.

"It hurts. I really shouldn't have run into the woods in slippers."

"Are you okay?" Yuanzi worriedly helped Daoxie take off his socks to check the wound. After seeing the hairy calf, she couldn't help but stop.

"Teeth, tooth marks?"

Yuanzi looked at Daoxie and stepped back tremblingly: "You..."

"What are you afraid of?" Daoxie walked towards the garden with a smile, "There's nothing to be afraid of. Didn't you bite it yourself last night?"

"what--!"

Maori quickly walked through the woods looking for Yuanzi's figure, and suddenly heard a scream from the front, and hurriedly accelerated and sprinted forward again.

"Bring out the photos!" Daoxie held Yuanzi to the ground with a knife and covered her mouth tightly. "You may think that the photos show a couple being intimate, but they are actually photos of me committing a crime, just like now! I used a knife to dig out all the internal organs of a woman!"

"I told you," Daoxie grinned, "I was dumped badly, so whenever I see a woman like you posing coquettishly with dyed brown hair, I want to dig out your organs!"

"Ugh..." Sonoko struggled hard, looked at Daoxie in horror as he raised the knife, and closed her eyes with tears in her eyes.

"It's only natural that someone like you would be dumped!"

Maori slid closer and hit Daoxie's elbow with a Jeet Kune Do hand knife. Daoxie, who was originally preparing to strike with a ferocious look, suddenly had a frown on his face, and his arm was struck by a strong shock and numbness, as if his entire arm was useless.

"It's you?!"

Daoxie grabbed his arm in horror, and when he saw Maoli, he roared and stabbed at Maoli with his backhanded knife.

"boom!"

Before Mao Li could fight back, a figure flashed by, snatched the knife in an instant and knocked Dao Xie away.

The inn owner Kyogoku Makoto appeared in front of Mori. His arms were not thick, but full of power. He knocked Dokkie far away in one blow.

"Are you okay?" The young boss turned around and helped Yuanzi up with a serious face.

"I remember now!" Xiaolan ran over breathlessly and saw the boy who made the move. "I've seen you at the competition venue before. You are the karate master of Beido High School, Kyogoku Makoto, known as the Prince of Kicking, right?"

The innkeeper nodded, but his eyes did not fall on Xiaolan. Instead, he and Maori looked at each other.

"You are the famous detective Maori Kogoro, right? Did you use Jeet Kune Do just now? That's beautiful!"

Chapter 91: After an ordinary case, an organization makes a brilliant appearance!

Although Kyogoku Makoto's praise of Mori was completely sincere, after seeing his subsequent performance, Mori still had a feeling that "this kid is too weird" - when faced with the Taoist Association who attacked him with a wooden stick, he did not evade at all, but directly blocked in front with his arms, and then defeated the opponent in a few moves, beating him to death.

What the fuck is beautiful? This is fucking beautiful!

……

"Boom!"

A tram passed by the track at a high speed, making a harsh friction sound.

Maori had already walked out of the woods with Xiaolan and Conan. Maori, who had been young once, could see at a glance that Kyogoku Makoto obviously had something to say to Sonoko, and he didn't want to be a light bulb or carry a light bulb.

……

In the woods, Kyogoku Makoto checked on the unconscious Dokyou, glanced at Sonoko and said, "I was following you from a distance until we entered the woods and lost you... This guy also chatted up two or three brown-haired girls before he met you, so I'm a little worried..."

"Why do you care about me so much?" Yuanzi stammered, "We don't even know each other."

Kyogoku paused and looked at Sonoko and said, "You may not know who I am, but I once saw you at a karate competition. You were cheering for your friends with all your might. I didn't expect you to stay at my hotel."

"Ah?" Yuanzi's face flushed red, "Thank you for liking me, but... the type of boys I like is not your type..."

"is it?"

There was no change on Kyogoku Makoto's charcoal-like face. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and turned around and said, "Then just take this as a reminder from a boy who has a crush on you. Next time, don't trust strangers you just met."

"Uh……"

Yuanzi nodded blankly.

……

Three days after returning from Izu, Maori, invited by a mystery fan, visited the Beika Town Aquarium with Xiaolan and Xiaoai.

"Dad, I heard there's a Venus show here that's really great!"

Holding Xiao Ai's hand, Xiaolan looked through the magnificent main hall and found the stage hall specially used for performances.

In front of the stepped seats, there is a cylindrical glass aquarium. Below the swimming fish are white clam shells large enough to accommodate a person.

The guidebook states that the beautiful lady in charge of the performance will appear from a clam shell...

Mao Li raised his eyebrows and looked at the stage with interest. Before he could say anything, a middle-aged man in aquarium work clothes came over:

"Mr. Maori, I'm sorry, you've been waiting here for a long time, right? I'm the technical director of this performance. My name is Lin Yaren."

The middle-aged man looked a bit like the elderly Officer Takagi, with an honest and amiable look, and was accompanied by a long-legged beauty with brown hair.

"Ah, hello,"

Mao Li immediately smiled and walked forward to greet him, "Thank you for your invitation. The person next to you is..."

"She's the actress in charge of this scene."

Lin Yaren introduced.

"Hello Mr. Mori, my name is Michiko Osawa,"

The woman nodded slightly and said politely, "Come to think of it, I never thought that a famous detective like you would come to watch my performance. It's like a dream!"

"Where."

Maori waved his hand modestly.

……

Behind the stage, Lin Yaren took everyone to visit the work area.

"This is the control room. The lighting, music, and various mechanical controls for the performance are all operated here..."

"Then there is an iron cabinet over here for the staff to put their things..."

Lin Yaren explained along the way: "This is the dressing room. Daze and the performance staff will put on makeup and change clothes here. At the end of the corridor in front is the lounge where the staff wait for their performance. There is also a water tank leading to the big clam shell on the stage..."

"Oh?" Maori just looked at it casually.

The backstage is actually all the same. If you know it too well, the performance later will be meaningless.

"This is our foreman, Mr. Murakawa," Lin Yaren introduced a middle-aged man with a flat head, "He has been in this business for 20 years."

"Hello," Murakawa, who was a sturdy man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and looked a little dull, nodded calmly and said, "Sorry, the performance is about to start, and I still have to check the stage equipment. I'll leave now."

"oh oh."

Mao Li watched Murakawa enter the room at the end of the corridor, then turned to Lin Yaren and said, "I think we should go back to the auditorium first."

The circular staircase in the performance hall was soon filled with people, and Maori and the other two finally found a seat in the middle.

At this time, the lights went out and only the aquarium serving as the stage was illuminated. In the magnificent underwater landscape, the clam shells opened and a graceful figure in a white dress floated with the bubbles, as if the Venus in Roman mythology had really reappeared.

"What a nice view!"

Between the open hem of Venus's skirt, her slender legs swung slightly and rose up, and she swam gracefully in the water with the school of fish, leaving the audience stunned.

However, the woman had golden hair and was obviously not the Miss Osawa from before.

"Strange, where is Miss Ozawa?" Xiaolan asked puzzledly.

"Ms. Ozawa will be on stage later. Now the second Venus is performing.

Ms. Yuriko Minegishi,"

Mao Li was never blind to beautiful women with good looks and good figures. Of course, he was not only interested in these beauties themselves. "Did you two notice that she was controlling the school of fish with the spice bag in her hand..."

"Really!"

Xiaolan observed carefully and found that it was just as Maori said - the schools of fish seemed to be moving along the spice bag in Yuriko Minegishi's hand.

"Snapped."

As the blonde woman's performance ended, the lights dimmed again. After waiting for a moment, several beams of light simultaneously shone towards the center of the stage, and the clam shell opened for the second time with a star-like lighting effect.

As the audience watched curiously, a figure with fiery red hair emerged, but she did not have the elegance of the previous Venus at all. Her eyes were wide open under the light, and her hair fluttered like seaweed.
