Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

A duplicitous man.

"Xiao Tetsu, Xiao Ai."

At this time, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko came over and said to Watanabe Toru and Huibara, "After school, we are going to visit Conan. Toru, do you want to come with us?"

Haibara lives in Dr. Agasa's house, so there is no need to ask her opinion.

Watanabe Toru thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

……

After school, the Young Detective Team 877 went to Dr. Agasa's house.

At the door of Kudo's house, I saw Xiaolan and Sonoko.

"Huh? Sister Xiaolan? Sister Sonoko?" Toru Watanabe looked at the two girls curiously.

Seeing Watanabe Toru, Xiaolan was also surprised: "Toru? And everyone, why are you here too?"

Watanabe Toru replied, "We came to visit Conan."

"They really are brother and sister," Sonoko interjected, "One is here to visit a friend, and the other is here to visit his beloved."

"Sonoko, what are you talking about?" Xiaolan said coquettishly, "Shinichi and I are not that kind of relationship."

"Okay, okay." Sonoko raised her hands in surrender and complained, "But Kudo is such a jerk. He should have just rested at home with his injured leg. Why did he rush to investigate the case so quickly? He made us go there for nothing."

Watanabe Toru asked knowingly, "Huh? The great detective isn't home?"

"Yeah." Yuanzi rolled her eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "He left home during the day. The next time I see this guy, I will make sure he pays."

Xiaolan's face no longer had the joy of seeing the person she missed yesterday. She said softly, "Since Shinichi is not here, let's go back. Xiaoche, you should come back early too."

"I understand, Sister Xiaolan." Watanabe Toru nodded and responded obediently.

272. Conspiracy against the Suzuki Group

You have a new email

Temporary Event: On December 5th, the Suzuki Group will hold a celebration at the Haido City Hotel to celebrate the successful development of Beauty Cream 2.0. At that time, Kawabe Tsuburaya, the former butler of the Tomizawa family, will launch his revenge plan.

〖Activity content: Crush the conspiracy of Tsuburaya by the river〗

[Event time: before 10:00 PM on December 5th]

[Activity Rewards: 1% recovery of physical function, 1 skill upgrade coupon, 1 points]

[Activity Restrictions: Before the celebration begins, you are not allowed to interrupt or stop the Riverside Tsuburaya's revenge. If you cause disruption to the event, you will be responsible for the consequences.]

Watanabe Toru looked at the temporary event that had not appeared for a while, his expression a little solemn.

After the assassinations of Tetsuji Tozawa and Yuzo Tozawa, and the executions of Taichi Tozawa and Tatsuji Tozawa, the entire Tozawa family fell into decline and was gradually forgotten. Unexpectedly, beneath this undercurrent, a loyal butler lurked, and now, he's seeking revenge against the Suzuki Group.

The system revealed nothing about this butler except his name. However, since he was Tozawa Tetsuji's butler, finding information about him shouldn't be difficult. He could just have Akemi Miyano help him research it over the next couple of days.

The only problem lies in Kawabe Tsuburaya's revenge plan. It is not yet known how he will retaliate against the Suzuki Group. This unknown danger hidden in the dark is often the most deadly.

We still have to find Hebian Tsuburaya first. Watanabe Toru thought to himself. Furthermore, due to system limitations, he couldn't eliminate Tsuburaya in advance. So, he could only send someone to approach Tsuburaya, try to gain his trust, and then get his revenge plan from him. Hmm... Pu Siqinglan is a suitable candidate. During the previous "Memory Egg" incident, she and the Suzuki Group were enemies, so she could definitely use this incident to make a fuss...

Just as Watanabe Toru was lost in thought, the door opened and Xiaolan, who had just finished her shower, walked in. Seeing Watanabe Toru's focused look, she asked curiously, "Xiaoche, what are you thinking about?"

"Uh..." Watanabe came to his senses, scratched his head, and said innocently: "Nothing, just a little sleepy."

"Then go to bed quickly, it's getting late."

"Uh-huh."

……

The next day, Toru Watanabe called Akemi Miyano and asked her to help investigate all the information about Kawabe Tsuburaya.

Then he notified Pu Siqinglan, who was far away in Country E, and asked her to return to Wano Country immediately.

I have to say that since I got wings, I feel much more relaxed. I don’t have to do many things myself and can spend more time and energy on dealing with the organization.

December 1st was a sunny day, and it was also the day when the system mall was updated.

Items: Sunny Doll (1), APTX-4869 Two-Hour Antidote (2), Secret Room Mechanism Design (10)

〖Body function recovery 1%: 5 points〗

Skills: Beginner - Flower Arranging (100), Master - Architectural Design (1000), Proficient - Bomb Making (1), Master - Train Driving (10)

Apart from the blueprints for bomb making and secret room mechanisms, the rest is relatively useless.

Considering the limited points left, Watanabe Toru only redeemed the mastery-level bomb making. After the task was completed, he would use the rewarded "Skill Upgrade Voucher" to upgrade it to the master level.

It's like getting a master-level skill for free.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was December 4th.

Toru Watanabe has already obtained all the information about Kawabe Tsuburaya through Akemi Miyano.

Under Watanabe Toru's arrangement, Pu Siqinglan successfully approached Kawabe Tsuburaya, gained his trust, and learned of his revenge plan.

That evening, at the Maori family's house.

"That's what's going on. So, Uncle and Xiao Che must come to the celebration party tomorrow night."

Sonoko personally came to invite the Mori family and Watanabe Toru to the banquet.

Maori Kogoro naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing, so he readily agreed, "Okay, we will definitely come."

Yuanzi winked at Xiaolan again and whispered, "There will be many young talents there, Xiaolan, remember to dress nicely."

"Garden~"

Xiaolan knew what Yuanzi meant. She pouted and rolled her eyes at her.

December 5th, Saturday, 12pm.

The magnificent banquet hall of Beihu Municipal Hotel was covered with thick carpets, and the ceiling was hung with crystal chandeliers stacked like nine-tiered lotus flowers, illuminating the entire banquet hall with bright lights and radiant light.

The long tables covered with white tablecloths were in good order, and the tables were filled with top-quality ingredients. Waiters moved among the crowd, bringing more delicacies and drinks.

Entrepreneurs and celebrities whose faces could only be seen on TV or in newspapers are now drinking and chatting happily.

"As expected of the Suzuki Group, all the guests attending the banquet are famous figures." Kogoro Mouri looked at the grand scene in front of him, and he could not suppress the amazement on his face.

“But they all want a piece of the pie.”

A pleasant voice came from behind them. The three of them turned around and saw Yuanzi walking towards them slowly.

Her outfit tonight was very eye-catching, wearing a soft knitted cardigan and a light blue pleated long skirt, as refreshing as a bouquet of orchids.

"Get a share?" Kogoro Mouri gave him a puzzled look.

Yuanzi explained, "I heard that the beauty cream we've developed this time will change the current landscape of the skincare market, so everyone is rushing to discuss cooperation with the group."

"Is that so?" Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized.

"Toru." Sonoko looked down at Watanabe Toru, who was dressed in a small suit, and smiled brightly: "Just help yourself to whatever you want to eat. You're welcome."

"Okay." Watanabe Toru nodded obediently.

The invited guests arrived at the banquet hall one after another. Toru Watanabe (Qian Nuo's) saw the Suzuki couple surrounded by countless people, as well as Akemi Miyano, the person in charge of the research and development of the beauty cream.

hum-

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Watanabe Toru remained calm and said to Xiaolan, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Okay, come back soon."

"Uh-huh."

After leaving the banquet hall, Watanabe Toru took out his mobile phone and saw that Pu Siqinglan had sent him a recording.

"At eight o'clock, we will split up. I will be in charge of detonating the bomb on the east side of the banquet hall, and the fire escape will be yours."

"No problem. President Suzuki probably never imagined that today's celebration party would turn into a death escape."

The recording is a conversation between Pu Siqinglan and Kawabe Tsuburaya. If this recording is delivered to Suzuki Shiro before 8 o'clock, Tsuburaya Heisuke's conspiracy can be stopped and his mission can be successfully completed.

273. This is all thanks to Xiao Che

After saving the recording, Toru Watanabe returned to the banquet hall. Instead of meeting up with Xiaolan, he found Tomoko Suzuki who was surrounded by the crowd.

"Auntie, auntie."

Suzuki Tomoko looked down when she felt someone pulling at her clothes.

"Xiao Che?" She asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Watanabe Toru said, "Auntie, can you come over here for a moment? I have something important to tell you."

"Is it something very important?" Tomoko Suzuki was stunned, thinking that Kogoro Mori had something to ask Toru Watanabe to convey to her, so she whispered a few words to Shiro Suzuki beside her, and then followed Toru Watanabe out of the crowd.

"What's wrong, Toru?" Suzuki Tomoko looked at Watanabe Toru. "Does Mr. Mori have something to tell me?"

"No." Watanabe Toru shook his head and took out his cell phone: "Auntie, listen to this."

He pressed play.

"At eight o'clock, we will split up. I will be in charge of detonating the bomb on the east side of the banquet hall, and the fire escape will be yours."

"No problem. President Suzuki probably never imagined that today's celebration party would turn into a death escape."

The content of the audio made Suzuki Tomoko's face change suddenly. She took out Watanabe Toru's phone, listened to it again carefully, and asked him solemnly, "Tetsu, where did you get this recording?"

Watanabe Toru said: "Just now when I went to the bathroom, I heard someone talking about Uncle Suzuki, bombs, revenge... I saw that they were acting sneaky and was afraid they were bad guys, so I secretly recorded their conversation."

"Then did you see what they looked like?" Suzuki Tomoko asked in a slightly hurried tone.

Watanabe Toru thought back: "The man was a grandfather with white hair and beard. The woman had her back to me, so I don't know what she looked like... Oh, the woman seemed to call the grandfather "Kawabe Butler."

"Butler Hebian..." Suzuki Tomoko murmured softly. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she took a deep breath and exclaimed in surprise, "It's him!!"

"Auntie, who are you talking about?" asked Toru Watanabe.

Suzuki Tomoko calmed down, shook her head and said, "Nothing. By the way, Xiaotetsu, can I borrow your phone for a while? I'll return it to you later."

"it is good."

"Thank you, Toru." Suzuki Tomoko leaned over and touched Watanabe Toru's head. "Auntie still has something to discuss with uncle. You should go back to Mr. Maori and don't run around."

"Uh-huh."

Watching Suzuki Tomoko leave in a hurry, Watanabe Tetsuya slowly returned to Xiaolan's side. The rest of the matter could be left to the Suzuki couple.

More than half an hour later, Inspector Megure walked into the banquet hall, followed by his henchman, Inspector Takagi.

"Huh? Inspector Megure? Why is he here?" Kogoro Mouri was stunned when he saw Inspector Megure appear.

"Looks like he's here to look for Dad." Sonoko followed the portly figure of Inspector Megure as he walked toward her father. She didn't know what he said to her father, and a trace of worry crossed her face. "Could something have happened?"

"Dad, why don't you go and ask?" Xiaolan said to Kogoro Mouri.

Maori Kogoro nodded, and when Inspector Megure was about to leave, he stepped forward and called out to him, "Inspector Megure, what happened?"

"Brother Maori?" Inspector Megure looked at him in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here at the banquet at the invitation of President Suzuki."

"President Suzuki seems to favor you." Officer Megure glanced at his former subordinate, then looked around. He moved closer and whispered, "We received a call from President Suzuki saying someone had planted a bomb in the hotel."

"Bomb...bomb?" Maori Kogoro's face suddenly changed, and he almost shouted. He suppressed his voice and asked, "What about now?"

"Don't worry, all the bombs have been defused."

Kogoro Maori breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, there are two suspects," Officer Megure continued, "We only caught one of them. The other has already fled the hotel."

"Any clues?"

"At the moment, we only know that it was a female. The details will only be known after the captured criminal is interrogated."

Kogoro Mouri nodded slightly, knowing that the matter was urgent. He did not ask any further questions and told Inspector Megure that if he needed help, he would definitely help, then he walked back.

"Dad, what happened?" Xiaolan asked Kogoro Mouri.
