Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

7:18 pm.

Toru Watanabe and others came out of an Okonomiyaki restaurant.

Sonoko touched her stomach and said with satisfaction: "The okonomiyaki in this restaurant is really delicious."

He Ye smiled and said, "Right, right, I said this store is great, so where do you want to go next?"

As soon as he finished speaking, gorgeous fireworks rose up and exploded in the sky above Osaka Castle on the other side.

Yuanshan Heye was surprised: "Strange, today is not the day for setting off fireworks..."

Hattori Heiji, who was standing next to him, suddenly thought of something. His expression hardened, and he said loudly to Toyama Kazuha, "Kazuha, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Xiaolan and the others will be left to you."

After saying that, he ran in the opposite direction without looking back.

"Hey, Heiji..." Toyama Kazuha looked at Hattori Heiji, but ultimately failed to call out to him.

"It's okay, let Hattori go." Xiaolan said, "He must have something urgent to do."

"That's right." Sonoko agreed: "Let's continue playing our game."

245. Miss Qinglan, you don’t want others to know your identity, right?

It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that everyone returned to the hotel.

Sonoko suggested going to the hotel's hot spring, but because it was a private occasion, Watanabe Toru was not able to go along, so he stayed in the room alone.

As I was looking at the night outside the window, my cell phone dinged and a text message came in.

Watanabe Toru took out his cell phone to check the message.

〖I've arrived at your hotel——Tachibana Mayo〗

Watanabe Toru quickly replied: Wait a moment.

He then took an aptx-4869 antidote, regained his adult form, and left the room.

Before coming to Osaka, he specifically called Tachibana Maya and asked her to bring her weapons and join him. He intended to recruit Shikao soldiers, but it was not an easy task and he needed Tachibana Maya's assistance.

Watanabe Toru took the elevator to the hotel lobby and saw Tachibana Mayo at a glance. The two of them exchanged "843" looks and walked towards the corner one after the other.

"Have you brought everything?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"Ah."

"Let's go then."

During the day, he used his identity as a child to easily find out where Scott was staying.

It's the same hotel as him, just on a different floor.

……

Third floor, room 302.

Watanabe Toru knocked on the door, and after a few seconds, he heard footsteps coming from inside.

Then, Pu Siqinglan's voice came from behind the door: "Who is it?"

Watanabe Tetsu said, "Ms. Qinglan, President Suzuki asked us to bring you a few words about the Egg of Memories."

Click...

The door opened.

Watanabe Toru looked at Pu Siqinglan inside the door. She was still wearing the purple suit she wore during the day. Her slightly messy hair hung beside her cheeks, outlining her sharp and cool oval face. Her facial features were exquisite and beautiful.

"Sorry to bother you, Miss Qinglan." Watanabe Toru smiled.

Pu Siqinglan glanced at the man and woman in front of her: "Did President Suzuki ask you to come?"

"Yes." Watanabe Toru said, "We have already visited Mr. Qian before you."

Pu Siqinglan nodded and stepped aside: "Come in."

"excuse me."

The three of them walked into the room and sat down on the sofa.

"I wonder if President Suzuki has any message for you two to convey to me?" Pu Si Qinglan asked.

Watanabe Toru smiled slightly: "Two hours ago, Kaito Kid stole the [Egg of Memories]."

"What!" Pu Siqinglan showed a surprised expression and exclaimed in disbelief: "The [Egg of Memory] was stolen?"

"Yes." Watanabe Toru nodded slightly. "But unfortunately, Kaito Kid was attacked while escaping. Now the Egg of Memories has been returned to its rightful owner, and Kaito Kid's fate is unknown."

Pu Siqinglan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. If the [Egg of Memory] were stolen, it would be a huge loss."

Watanabe Toru's smile remained unchanged. "I also admire Miss Qinglan. You were able to accurately hit Kaito Kid's right eye while he was gliding. Ordinary killers don't have this ability."

When Tachibana Maya heard Watanabe Toru say that this woman was actually a killer, she was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at Pu Siqinglan twice.

Pu Siqinglan looked bewildered: "Killer?"

"What? Miss Qinglan, do you still want to play dumb?" Watanabe Toru put away his smile and said calmly, "Or perhaps the name Pu Si Qinglan doesn't suit the identity of a killer? Then, how about I change my name and call you Shi Kaobing?"

When Pu Siqinglan heard the name, a subtle reaction finally appeared on her face.

Tachibana Maya couldn't help but exclaimed: "She, she is Shikao Bing?"

As a fellow killer, Tachibana Maya had naturally heard of the name Shi Kaobing.

"That's right." Watanabe Toru nodded. "On the surface, he's a researcher on the Russian Romanov dynasty, but in reality, he's the assassin wanted by Interpol, Sikaobing. He's right in front of us."

"I don't understand what you are saying." Pu Siqinglan frowned and said in a cold voice, "But I think you are definitely not the representatives sent by President Suzuki. Now, please leave my room, otherwise I will call the police."

After saying that, he pretended to stand up.

Almost at the same time, Tachibana Maya took out a pistol and put the muzzle of the gun against Pu Siqinglan's head.

Pu Siqinglan's pupils shrank, and she realized that the man and woman in front of her were more troublesome than she had imagined.

Watanabe Toru waved his hand, asking Tachibana Maya to move the gun away. .... Then he asked with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Qinglan should be of Russian descent. Your ancestor is Rasputin, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Pu Siqinglan's expression finally changed. The mysterious man opposite her had a deep gaze, as if he could see through all her secrets.

She finally couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "We are both God and devil. We want to reverse the flow of time and enjoy the sunshine in the darkness. We appear here to invite you to join us."

"Invite me to join?" Pu Siqinglan was stunned.

"Yes." Watanabe Toru said slowly, "We need manpower, and you are a good choice."

Pu Siqinglan pursed her lips. After knowing the other party's purpose, she calmed down: "What will happen if I don't agree?"

"Then we are the enemy."

Watanabe Toru's tone was calm, but to Pu Siqinglan's ears, it sounded like thunder.

She understood what Watanabe Toru meant. If she didn't join, she would die.

She was able to escape from Interpol time and time again, so she was naturally very confident in her own abilities, but she was deeply wary of Toru Watanabe.

He knew all her secrets, but she knew nothing about him, which made her very afraid of Toru Watanabe.

Seeing that Pu Si 2.9 Qinglan fell silent, Watanabe Toru said again: "I can give you some time to think about it. I will come to find you in two days. Don't try to escape. No matter where you are, we can find you."

As he spoke, he stood up from the sofa and smiled inexplicably, "Miss Qinglan, you don't want others to know your identity, do you?"

……

After leaving Pu Siqinglan's room, Tachibana Maye finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you really planning to recruit that Shi Kaobing?"

"What? Do you think it's inappropriate?" Toru Watanabe asked back.

Tachibana Maya shook her head: "It's not that it's inappropriate, but I find it difficult. She doesn't look like a woman who would obey easily."

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "Of course, simply threatening her won't work, but if we offer her some favors, the possibility will increase greatly."

246. The Psychological Shadow of Kaito Kidd

Tachibana Maya didn't ask what the specific favor was, but instead asked, "Should I continue to stay?"

"No need." Watanabe Toru shook his head. "After the theft of the Egg of Memory, the exhibition can no longer be held. We will definitely return to Tokyo. You should go back first and wait for my call."

"it is good."

……

the next day.

To investigate whether the eggs were damaged, the Suzuki Foundation stopped the exhibition and shipped the eggs back to Tokyo.

During the voyage, Natsumi Kosaka showed up and took out a drawing of an egg.

"My great-grandfather's name was Kiichi. He worked as a worker in Faberuge's workshop and married a Russian woman there. The year after the revolution, they returned to Wano Country together. My great-grandmother gave birth to a baby girl, who became my grandmother. A few years later, my great-grandmother and great-grandfather passed away one after another."

"I was raised by my grandmother. My grandfather and my parents died in a car accident when I was five years old. Last month, my 17-year-old grandmother also passed away. When I was sorting through my grandmother's belongings, I found the drawings drawn by my great-grandfather."

The drawing was yellowed and the gaps could not be put together. With the deliberate reminder of Toru Watanabe, Kogoro Mori deduced that there were actually two eggs, and found the projection of Yokosuka Castle from the small glass of the egg.

Immediately, the group decided to visit Yokosuka Castle after returning to Tokyo.

The ship still had to sail on the sea for a while, and the group of people prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.

"Toru." In front of Xiaolan's room, Sonoko suddenly grabbed Toru Watanabe.

Watanabe Toru looked up at Sonoko in confusion: "What's wrong, Sonoko-sister?"

Yuanzi's tone was filled with a little resentment: "Why didn't you come to my sister's room last night?"

Watanabe Toru: “…”

"Don't you miss your sister?"

"No." Watanabe Toru quickly denied: "I was too tired last night. I fell asleep not long after I lay down. Tonight... tonight I will definitely come to see Sister Sonoko."

Seeing Watanabe Toru's serious explanation, Sonoko chuckled and rubbed Watanabe Toru's head: "Sister doesn't blame you, sister just... just misses you a little..."

The last half of the sentence was noticeably weaker, like a young girl in love expressing her love for the person she likes.

……

At Sonoko's invitation, the four girls on the boat and Toru Watanabe gathered together, eating exquisite snacks and chatting.

"Ms. Natsumi's eyes are gray." Sonoko looked at Natsumi Kosaka and said in surprise.

"Yes." Kosaka Natsumi smiled, "It should be inherited from my great-grandmother. My grandmother and mother also have gray eyes."

Yuanzi turned to look at Pu Siqinglan again: "Miss Qinglan's eyes are the same as Miss Xia Mei's, also gray! Do all Chinese people have gray eyes?"

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Come to think of it, Miss Qinglan's name means Green Orchid, and my name also has 'Lan' in it..."

"You are reading it in your own country's pronunciation. The Chinese language should be pronounced 'Qinglan'..."

Pu Siqinglan began to show off her poor Chinese.

Watanabe Toru frowned as he listened. It had to be said that Pu Siqinglan was not very rigorous in this regard. If there were Chinese people or people who were proficient in Chinese around her, she would have left herself with a loophole.

Because they had the same eye color, Kosaka Natsumi felt closer to Pu Si Qinglan: "Ms. Qinglan looks about the same age as me, right?"

"Yes." Pu Siqinglan replied modestly, "Twenty-seven years old."

"You're really the same age as me." Kosaka Natsumi asked in surprise, "Then what month and day were you born?"

"May 5th."

"My birthday is May 3rd, just two days off."

……

As night fell, the sea was rough and the ship was rocking slightly.

Not surprisingly, the incident still happened.

Suzuki Shiro's secretary Masato Nishino found Ryu Samukawa dead in his room, shot in the right eye, and the room was in a mess.

After receiving the alarm call, the Metropolitan Police Department, led by Officer Megure, rushed to the scene by helicopter.

Also coming was Officer Shiratori, who had just returned from vacation in Karuizawa.

Seeing Officer Shiratori, Watanabe Toru smiled inexplicably, pointed at him and said loudly: "This officer is..."
