Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

"Xiao Toru, what's wrong with your face? Are you hurt?" Seeing a bandage on Watanabe Toru's face, Xiaolan didn't have time to ask who Mrs. Yoshida and Ayumi were, and she was anxiously concerned about Watanabe Toru's injury.

Watanabe Toru was about to explain, but Mrs. Yoshida spoke before him: "I'm so sorry, I didn't take good care of little Toru."

"Huh?" Xiaolan looked at Mrs. Yoshida with a confused look on her face: "Excuse me, what exactly happened?"

Mrs. Yoshida told Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro what happened in the apartment.

After that, he apologized again: "It's my responsibility that Xiao Che got hurt. I'm sorry..."

When Xiaolan heard that Watanabe Toru had actually fought with a criminal, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She didn't feel relieved until she heard that the criminal was subdued and taken away by the police. Then she saw Mrs. Yoshida's guilty look, and she, who was kind to begin with, couldn't say a word of blame.

Pursing her lips, Xiaolan said softly: "No one could have predicted something like this, you..."

She didn't know Mrs. Yoshida's name yet.

Mrs. Yoshida quickly introduced herself: "My name is Yoshida Akiko, and this is my daughter Ayumi."

"Mrs. Yoshida, please don't blame yourself. After all, you are also a victim."

"That's right." Maori Kogoro echoed from the side. He had shaved and tied a tie at some point. His concerned eyes fell on Mrs. Yoshida: "By the way, ma'am, are you hurt?"

"I am fine."

"So your husband wasn't home at the time?"

Mrs. Yoshida bit her lower lip and whispered, "My husband has passed away."

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay. I came here this time because, firstly, I was worried about Xiao Che coming back alone, and secondly, I wanted to apologize to you for Xiao Che's injury."

"Madam, you are too kind." After knowing that Mrs. Yoshida was a widow, Maori Kogoro's eyes became more glittering. "It must be very difficult for you to live with your daughter alone. I am Maori Kogoro, a detective. If you have any trouble, you can always come to me."

As he said this, he handed over his business card.

"Thank you." Mrs. Yoshida took it with both hands. "Then I'll take my leave. Xiao Che, don't touch the wound with water for the next two days."

"I understand, Aunt Yoshida."

After seeing off Yoshida and her daughter, Xiaolan took Watanabe Toru to look at his wound carefully.

"Xiao Che, does it hurt? You are really reckless. You are just a child. How can you be a match for an adult?"

There was a hint of blame in the distressed tone.

Watanabe Toru laughed and said, "I knew I was no match for him, so I didn't confront him head-on. Instead, I tried to catch him off guard."

He did not tell Xiaolan in detail about the fight with Junji Ito. On the one hand, he was afraid that Xiaolan would worry. On the other hand, it was indeed unbelievable that a child could beat an adult.

It is actually best to let things go in a vague way like this.

"I remember now," Maori Kogoro suddenly shouted, "Just now I felt that the name Yoshida Akiko was very familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere. Do you remember that a mysterious client asked me to investigate a man named Yoshida Fujiya?"

Xiaolan nodded. "Dad later refused to disclose any information to the client because he thought he might have ulterior motives towards Mr. Yoshida. He also didn't return the commission fee because he couldn't contact the client."

Maori Kogoro coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Yoshida's wife is called Yoshida Akiko, and he also has a daughter who attends Teitan Elementary School. If I'm not mistaken, it should be this girl named Ayumi."

"Huh? So, Dad, are you saying that Mr. Yoshida's death is related to that client?"

"That's right." Kogoro Mouri said affirmatively.

"But Uncle Yoshida committed suicide," Watanabe Toru interrupted. "The police also found a handwritten suicide note from Uncle Yoshida at home."

"Ah...this..."

Maori Kogoro, who had obviously not paid attention to this case, was speechless for a moment. His eyes rolled and he said, "There must be something hidden that has not been discovered. Ahem... Xiaotetsu, where does Mrs. Yoshida live? I'll visit her when I have time and find out more details."

Watanabe Toru: “…”

"Dad." Xiaolan finally understood Maori Kogoro's purpose. She glared and said dissatisfiedly, "Mom left because of you. Xiaoche, let's go and ignore Dad."

034. The Secret of Macallan

Beika Town

In a bar called "black-widows".

Gin and vodka sat on the bar, and the bartender wiped the glasses in silence.

Vodka looked towards the door.

"Is this okay, brother? Just let him go? He must be the rat."

Just now, a member of the organization left from here.

Gin lowered his head, his ink-black hat covering half of his face.

"Well, don't worry."

"Hey." Vodka understood what Gin meant and took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the bar: "By the way, big brother, what should we do with the information on smuggled guns?"

"There's nothing to worry about. Everything is going according to plan. We've already asked him to prepare the money. It all depends on whether he sees our sincerity."

"Well, but this could also be a trap." Vodka expressed his concerns.

Gin snorted coldly: "It's not too late to make a conclusion after contacting the other party."

"That's true."

"Besides, it would be a shame to abandon that place. After MacAllen escaped from the laboratory, the organization had to build a new laboratory somewhere else."

Hearing this code name, Vodka's expression became serious: "No clue about Macallan yet?"

"No." Gin's emotionless voice was filled with a hint of doubt. "In such a completely enclosed space, I can't imagine how he escaped from the confinement room. There were no signs of the door lock being pried open. It's as if he disappeared into thin air."

"I heard that Vermouth is coming back from Country M soon? Is it related to Macallan?"

"That woman doesn't believe Macallan would betray the organization and wants to investigate the matter herself. Also, Curacao went to Country Y, reportedly to assist Rum. Country Y is where Macallan got into trouble, so if she says she has no other motives, huh..."

Vodka was silent for a while, but finally couldn't help asking: "Brother, do you believe that McAllen would betray the organization? He is just like you..."

Gin interrupted him coldly, "Any suspected member of the organization would rather be killed than let go. This is the organization's consistent style. That plan will fail in the end. I suspect Macallan has selfish motives."

"No way." Vodka was shocked: "He's a man who doesn't even pay attention to Vermouth and Curacao."

Gin sneered sinisterly, "Maybe that guy likes that kind of woman."

Didan Primary School

As the bell rang, the morning class ended.

Ayumi took out two lunch boxes from her schoolbag, handed one to Watanabe Toru, and said, "Toru, this is the lunch box your mother prepared for you."

"Thank you." Watanabe Toru took it.

Seeing Watanabe Tetsu taking a lunch box from Ayumi, Mitsuhiko asked curiously: "Tetsu, didn't you bring a lunch box today?"

"I brought it." Toru Watanabe took out the lunch box that Xiaolan prepared for him from his schoolbag.

"What about this?"

"This was prepared for me by Ayumi's mother."

"Eh?"

Now not only Mitsuhiko, but even Genta leaned over in confusion and asked, "Ayumi, why did your mother prepare a lunch box for Tohru?"

"Because Xiao Che brought a lot of ingredients yesterday, he wanted to eat the bento made by his mother." Ayumi explained as she opened the bento box.

Watanabe Toru took a look and saw that the egg rolls, small sausages and green peppers stuffed with meat were more nutritionally balanced than yesterday's vegetable salad.

Yuan Tai swallowed and said, "It looks delicious."

How could Watanabe Toru not know what he was thinking? However, he didn't need to eat much in his current body, so he generously handed over the bento and said, "I can't eat two bento. This is Ayumi's mother's cooking. Let's all try it."

After lunch, there was an hour's break, and as usual, several people went to the playground.

However, Watanabe Toru was not in the mood to play football today. He lay on the shiny green lawn, looking at the blue sky and the occasional crows flying by.

He didn't sit up until he felt like moving.

"Hmm~~" He twisted his waist and neck comfortably.

"Xiao Che."

Ayumi walked over and sat down next to Watanabe Toru.

"Huh? Ayumi, aren't you playing football anymore?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"Yeah, I'm a little tired."

"Then sit down and rest for a while."

"Ah."

After a brief silence, Ayumi spoke again: "Xiaotuo, thank you for what happened yesterday."

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "You're welcome. Anyone would do the same. By the way, don't tell anyone else about this."

"I know." Ayumi nodded: "That's what my mother said too. I won't tell anyone."

"That's good."

"By the way, Xiao Che, do you have a girl you like?"

"Huh?" Toru Watanabe was stunned. He didn't expect Ayumi to jump to the topic of matters between men and women.

Seeing Watanabe Toru staring at her blankly, Ayumi's delicate face began to turn red, and she said in a whisper: "Xiao Toru, you... why are you looking at me like that?"

035. Fei Yingli's Problem

I treat you as my daughter, and you actually want to sleep with me?

Watanabe Toru felt a little heavy-hearted.

Although loli is good, in comparison, he prefers mature women who exude mature charm all over their body.

Besides, considering Ayumi's age, it seems more appropriate to use "young girl".

Why does it seem more exciting?

Ayumi's expectant expression gradually became dejected as she didn't hear Watanabe Toru's answer.

"Sure enough, Xiao Che already has a girl he likes?"

Watanabe Toru came back to his senses and found Ayumi's heartbroken face funny.

He shook his head and said, "I just think you're cute, Ayumi."

"Really?" Ayumi's face was filled with surprise again: "Then, then Xiao Che, you..."

"Xiao Che, be careful, the ball is coming towards you." Mitsuhiko's shout suddenly came.

Watanabe Toru turned his head and saw the football flying towards him quickly. He stood up, raised his leg to block the football, moved it to his feet, and then ran into the field.

"I'm here to play with you guys for a while."

Let’s put Ayumi’s matter aside for now.

……

Saturday, April 5.

Maori family.

Xiaolan shouted into the room: "Xiao Che, have you changed your clothes? We are about to set off."

"I'm here." Watanabe Toru came out after changing his clothes: "Let's go, Sister Xiaolan. By the way, is Uncle Maori really not going?"

"Well, no matter what I say, Dad just won't go." Xiaolan said with some distress: "Forget it, I won't force him. If Dad goes too, he might quarrel with Mom again."

"Will Auntie dislike me?"

"How could that be?" Xiaolan bent down and pinched Watanabe Tetsu's little face: "Xiao Tetsu is so obedient and sensible, Mom will definitely like you. One of the reasons why Mom invited us to dinner this time was that she wanted to meet Xiao Tetsu. Okay, let's go quickly, otherwise Mom will be waiting anxiously."

"it is good."

The two went downstairs and hailed a taxi on the side of the road.

After getting in the car, Xiaolan gave the address of "Hiki Eri Law Firm" and the car started slowly.
