Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Miyano Akemi instantly jumped up, and Watanabe Toru straightened up. He looked at Huibara who had entered the room at some point, and said unhappily, "Are you a ghost? You walk without making any sound."

"Was it me who was silent, or were you guys too engrossed?" Huiyuan said with a mocking expression. She turned to look at her sister, who was adjusting her clothes, and said expressionlessly, "You called me here just so I could watch you two being intimate?"

"No...No, Shiho."

Miyano Akemi was so ashamed that she was so engrossed in the intimacy with Watanabe Toru that she even forgot to contact her sister on the way back and asked her to come and get a DNA sample.

Huiyuan crossed her arms and chuckled, "Did this guy force you to do this?"

"No... no." Miyano Akemi sighed softly and looked at Watanabe Toru: "Watanabe-kun, you should go back first. I want to talk to Shiho alone."

Watanabe Toru nodded, realizing that his presence would only make the atmosphere more awkward. He stood up, picked up his clothes, and said, "I'll be leaving first. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

"it is good."

After seeing off Watanabe Toru, Miyano Akemi regained her composure, pointed at the sofa, and said to Huibara, "Sit down and talk."

Huibara sat down silently, waiting for her sister to continue.

Miyano Akemi chose her words and said slowly, "Watanabe-kun and I went to see Akai Shuichi today."

Huiyuan thought thoughtfully: (agda) "Is it to verify the relationship between our family and theirs?"

Miyano Akemi nodded. "I thought I would have a lot to say to him, but when I actually saw him again, I found myself unusually calm, as if I was just meeting an old friend I hadn't seen in a while."

"Is it because of Watanabe?" Huibara asked.

"Yes," Miyano Akemi admitted. "He pulled me out of the darkness and gave me a second chance at life. Everything I have now is due to him. As I got along with him, I gradually realized that Watanabe-kun seemed to have become my support, something Akai never gave me. Even during the time we were together, I seemed to admire him more, treating him as a comrade-in-arms who fought alongside me."

Huiyuan was silent for a while, then whispered, "So, you're in love with that guy, right?"

"Yes." Miyano Akemi nodded in agreement.

Huiyuan pursed her lips. She suddenly felt a little upset. Just when she didn't know what to say, Miyano Akemi said again: "Shiho, you like Watanabe-kun too, right?"

"I didn't." Huibara blurted out almost subconsciously.

Miyano Akemi smiled at her sister: "Are you still lying in front of your sister? I know you. If you really don't like Watanabe-kun, you won't deny it so quickly. Although you always say bad things about him, 90% of the topics are related to him. You can deceive yourself and others, but your subconscious mind won't."

Huiyuan was speechless.

Miyano Akemi put her arm around Huibara's shoulders and said earnestly, "If you like him, tell him. Don't let your pride make you regret it."

When her sister revealed the secret hidden in her heart, Huiyuan was a little overwhelmed: "Sister, since you like him, then I like him too, what's going on?"

Miyano Akemi smiled slightly: "If you really like Watanabe-kun, then I am willing to withdraw."

……

Toru Watanabe was unaware that he was being pushed around by the Miyano sisters. After the effect of the antidote wore off and he returned to his childlike appearance, he returned to the office.

"I'm back."

As soon as he entered the room, Toru Watanabe felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy. Kisaki Eri, whom he hadn't seen for a while, was sitting on the sofa, looking seriously at Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting opposite him, scratching his head and avoiding his gaze.

"A month ago, a murder occurred at the Haido-cho construction site. At that time, you were at the nearby Miki Nobuna izakaya, right?"

Maori Kogoro said absentmindedly, "It's been so long, how could I still remember such a trivial thing?"

"Sister Xiaolan, what happened?" Watanabe Toru asked Xiaolan quietly.

Xiaolan explained helplessly, "Mom is defending a suspect in a murder case, and Dad happened to have seen the suspect that night, so Mom came to Dad to find out the situation."

"So that's how it is." Watanabe Toru suddenly realized.

Faced with Mouri Kogoro's perfunctory attitude, Kisaki Eri sighed helplessly, took out a photo from her bag, put it on the coffee table and pushed it to Mouri Kogoro.

"Do you remember this person?"

Maori Kogoro took the photo, looked at it carefully, and said, "I think I saw this guy at Miki Noboru's snack bar."

Hibiki Eri's face was serious: "Tell me the details of what happened."

Maori Kogoro tilted his head back, reminiscing: "I remember that time I was already drunk and sleeping on the table. Then the owner of the store suddenly woke me up and told me that my phone was ringing. But because the reception in the store was very poor, I went outside to answer the call. That's when I saw this man walk into the store."

"Then what?" asked Hibiki Eri.

"When I returned to the store, he was already sitting at the counter. He left about half an hour later. When I left the store, I heard sirens and heard that someone had been killed at a nearby construction site."

"What time was it when this person entered the store?"

Maori Kogoro proudly stated the exact time: "It's 9:25."

Kiyori was stunned: "Why are you so sure?"

Watanabe Toru interrupted, "Uncle, did you check the call time?"

Kogoro Maori glanced at him and did not refute.

Kisaki Eri nodded slightly. "The victim, Mr. Hirasawa, was killed between 9:30 and 10:00. If Mr. Usami arrived at the store at 9:25, then he would have an alibi, but..."

Kisaki Eri looked at Maori Kogoro with suspicion: "The premise is that what you say is true."

"Hey, hey, hey." Maori Kogoro was furious: "Are you doubting what I said?"

"Of course I doubt you." Hibiki looked him straight in the face without fear. "You drank so much at that time, who knows if you were still clear-headed?"

"what?!"

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

"..."

Seeing the two of them arguing inexplicably again, Xiaolan held her forehead helplessly.

……

The next day.

Fei Law Firm.

Watanabe Toru knocked on the door, and soon, footsteps were heard from inside. Kuriyama Midori opened the door and saw Watanabe Toru standing outside. She was slightly startled and asked curiously: "Little Toru? Why are you here?"

Watanabe Toru raised his head and looked at Kuriyama Midori with a smile: "Ms. Kuriyama, is Aunt Fei here? I need to see her for something."

Kuriyama Midori said, "The teacher is right, but she... Xiaotuo, please come in first."

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Kuriyama."

Toru Watanabe followed Midori Kuriyama into the office.

In front of Kisaki Eri's independent office, Midori Kuriyama knocked on the door. After hearing Kisaki Eri's voice inviting her in, Midori Kuriyama pushed the door open and walked in.

"Teacher, Xiao Che is here."

Hibiki Eri, who was buried in the information in her hands, looked up when she heard the words. She was stunned at first, then she smiled gently: "Xiao Che, why are you here?"

Watanabe Toru said, "Didn't Auntie ask Uncle for some clues about the murder yesterday? Judging from Uncle's testimony, Mr. Usami seems to have an alibi, but there is a loophole."

"Oversight?"

Kisaki Eri was slightly stunned, and a solemn look appeared on her delicate and charming face.

She looked at Midori Kuriyama and said, "Ms. Kuriyama, go get Xiao Tetsu a glass of juice."

"Good teacher."

The office door closed again. Kisaki Eri looked at Watanabe Toru and said gently, "Toru, what do you mean by the omission you just mentioned?"

She did not underestimate Watanabe Toru's words because of his age. On the contrary, in several cases, some of Watanabe Toru's words always inspired her.

Because of his wisdom and analytical ability that was inconsistent with his age, she always admired and had high expectations for Toru Watanabe. For this reason, she once wanted Toru Watanabe to study law with her when he grew up and become a famous lawyer like herself.

Watanabe Toru said slowly, "Uncle Maori's testimony yesterday seemed flawless, but it had a fatal flaw."

"Oh?" Kisaki Eri raised her eyebrows. "What's the problem?"

"That phone was handed to my uncle by the lady boss of the store."

Kisaki Eri's expression froze. As a lawyer, she quickly understood what Watanabe Toru meant. After a moment's hesitation, she nodded and said, "You're right. If the phone has been touched by another person, Mr. Hirasawa's alibi will be invalid. Thank you, Toru. If it weren't for your reminder, Auntie might have been put on the defensive in court."

Watanabe Toru scratched his head: "Nothing more."

"What a pity." Kisaki Eri sighed regretfully, "I thought the case was finally making some progress, but now it seems we're back to square one."

Watanabe Toru asked calmly, "Doesn't Mr. Hirasawa have anything to say?"

Kisaki Eri shook her head, her tone filled with helplessness. "I don't know why, but he seems to be very resistant to my defending him. He just said he didn't remember any of the questions I asked."

"Is it possible that he is deliberately hiding something?"

"hide?"

"That's right." Watanabe Toru guided Kisaki Eri: "If he is truly innocent, he will definitely try hard to defend himself. At least he won't be as passive as he is now, unless he wants to take the blame for the murder himself."

Kisaki Eiri narrowed her deep eyes: "If this is true, then what is his motive for doing this?"

She thought for a moment, then suddenly revealed an expression of disbelief, muttering, "Could it be because of his ex-wife, the proprietress, Ms. Kameda Masako?"

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "That's possible, isn't it? No one knows what happened while Uncle Maori was asleep."

"But where's the evidence?" Kisaki Eri frowned slightly. "From the clues I've obtained so far, Ms. Kameda has nothing to do with this murder."

Watanabe Toru reminded: "Where are the autopsy results of the body?"

Kisaki Eri said truthfully, "Among the food left in the deceased's stomach, we found something called rice octopus. This thing is usually used as an ingredient in oden, but it's rare..."

Having said this, Hibiki Eri was suddenly stunned, as if she had thought of something.

350. Rub Hibiki Eri's back

in the afternoon.

Mimusheng Snack Shop.

Perhaps because it was daytime, there were no other customers in the store except Eri Kisaki and Toru Watanabe.

"Little boy, this is your oden."

The proprietress, Masako Kameda, brought a large plate of oden to Toru Watanabe.

"Thank you, Auntie." Watanabe Toru exclaimed, "It looks delicious."

Kameda Masako smiled and said, "If it's not enough, Auntie can give you more for free."

"Really? That's great."

Looking at Kameda Masako who had turned around and was busy again, Hibiki Eri sighed inwardly and said, "Ms. Kameda, I think I need to talk to you about your ex-husband again."

Kameda Masako didn't stop what she was doing, but said lightly: "One hundred and ninety-seven" "I've already said that I don't want to think about that person at all now."

"Really?" Kisaki Eri said calmly, pulling out a matchbox from her bag. "I think you're familiar with this matchbox, right?"

Kameda Masako turned around and took a look: "This is the match from my shop."

Kisaki turned the matchbox over to the side with the letters printed on it. "The back of the matchbox says MIMASU, but if you read it backwards, it becomes USAMIM. Is that the abbreviation for your deceased son Masaki?"

Masako Kameda remained silent.

"I found this matchbox in your ex-husband's house. I think he must have known exactly how you felt, which is why he took all the blame on himself. Mr. Hirasawa, you actually killed him, didn't you?"

Masako Kameda's body trembled slightly.

"But you didn't know that your ex-husband witnessed the entire process of your murder. In order to prevent you from being convicted, he deliberately left his keys at the scene."

Watanabe Toru picked up a piece of octopus and stuffed it into his mouth: "This little octopus is so delicious."

Kisaki glanced at him. "This is called octopus, right? Mr. Hirasawa's autopsy report described the presence of this food in his stomach. I've asked other nearby snack shops, and none of them put octopus in their oden. So, Mr. Hirasawa came to your place that night, am I correct?"

Masako Kameda lowered her head, and the expression on her face at the moment could not be seen.

Kisaki Eri sighed softly: "Although I don't have direct evidence that you killed Mr. Hirasawa yet, please think carefully about it. Is it really worth it? Xiaotetsu, let's go."

"Okay." Watanabe Toru stuffed the last mouthful of oden, touched his stomach, and said to Kameda Masako with a smile: "Auntie, your oden is delicious."

As the two were about to leave the store, Kameda Masako finally spoke: "I know nothing about that key."

Kisaki Eri stopped and turned to look at her.

Kameda Masako had a complicated expression and whispered, "Yes, I did kill Hirasawa Tsuyoshi. He doesn't even remember who I am, and I really can't forgive him..."
