Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Yuan Tai commented bluntly: "I have seen such an old lady before."

Yuanzi's defense was immediately broken. After yelling "It's so noisy", she pinched her chin and muttered, "Would it be better to change my hairstyle?"

The photo of Xiaolan received unanimous praise from everyone. In the words of Kogoro Mouri, she looked almost exactly like the young Eri Kisaki.

"Xiao Che, it's your turn."

Among the people present, only Kogoro Mouri and Toru Watanabe had not experienced it. Kogoro Mouri clearly stated that he did not want to see himself aged ten years later, so everyone looked at Toru Watanabe.

Watanabe Toru hesitated for a moment, then felt that there was no big problem, so he sat on the machine.

After the photos were developed, everyone gathered around.

"Wow...Toru is so handsome..." Ayumi's eyes were sparkling, full of admiration for Watanabe Toru.

Maori Kogoro glanced at him and couldn't help but sigh at Watanabe Toru's excellent appearance and temperament ten years later: "I wonder how many girls will rush to confess their love to him by then."

Maori Kogoro's words immediately made Ayumi and Sonoko wary. Only Mitsuhiko and Genta felt particularly heavy-hearted.

At this time, Sawaguchi Chinami, who had just finished her call, came over and said to everyone, "Everyone, please follow me to the banquet hall on the 75th floor and walk towards the elevator."

Taking the elevator to the 75th floor, among the staff setting up the venue, a woman wearing a red women's suit and with short blond hair, a strand of bangs falling across her eyes, came over. She extended her hand to Maori Kogoro and said with a smile, "Maori-senpai."

"Tokiwa, long time no see." Kogoro Mouri said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to have you come all this way."

"No..." Maori Kogoro scratched his head and laughed: "I should have come alone, but..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiaolan squeezed in between the two of them and bowed, saying, "I am her daughter, Xiaolan. My mother asked me to give you her regards."

Then he introduced Watanabe Toru and others.

Tokiwa Mio also introduced the people around her one by one, and then introduced Tower B across the street: "Tower B is a commercial building. There are shops below, restaurants above, and a swimming pool at the top. The dome roof can be opened..."

"By the way, Mio, can I stay at that hotel this weekend?" Oki Iwamatsu, a member of the Nishitama City Council, came forward with a red face and a smell of alcohol.

"But it hasn't opened yet..." Mio Tokiwa was a little embarrassed.

"You mean it's not possible?"

"I understand." Tokiwa Mio finally compromised and bowed, saying, "I'll prepare a suite on the 67th floor for you."

Oki Iwamatsu got even more aggressive and moved closer to Tokiwa Mio, whispering drunkenly, "If possible, I'd like to have dinner with you... Huh?"

He suddenly noticed the brooch under Tokiwa Mio's collar: "This brooch is very special. Was it a gift from your sweetheart?"

"No." Tokiwa Mio covered the brooch with her hand. "It's mine."

"Mio!" Tokiwa Mio's teacher, the Japanese painter Kisaragi Minezuki, stepped forward with a sullen expression, "I have to go back first!"

"Ah." Tokiwa Mio said hurriedly, "Then I'll take you down..."

"No need!" Ruyue Fengshui walked towards the sightseeing elevator with a sour face.

Maori Kogoro watched Tokiwa Mio catch up and whispered, "He doesn't look very happy..."

Beside him, Kazama Hidehiko said, "Miss Mio is buying up Mr. Kisaragi's paintings everywhere and selling them at high prices, so he's a little unhappy."

"Ah! It's chocolate." In front of the viewing window over there, Yuan Tai exclaimed in surprise when he saw what Yuan Jiaming was holding in his hand, attracting the attention of others.

"Oh no, you found out," Yuan Jiaming squatted down and smiled as he distributed the chocolates to the three children surrounding him: "Then I'll share them with you."

Tokiwa Mio had already come over from the observation staircase. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Although he's a genius programmer, he can be quite childish sometimes."

"This is the only way to design interesting games." Dr. Agasa said with a smile.

Over there, Yuan Jiaming was squatting and talking to three children.

"I'm currently developing a new game software. Could you please give me some suggestions?"

"Is it a video game?"

"Okay!"

The three children readily agreed.

"I live in Shuangbao Town."

"We live in Beika-cho."

"It's pretty close, it's a quick bus ride!" Yuan Jiaming smiled and invited, "Why don't you guys come over to my house next week?"

357. The Little Three's Little Thoughts

While the children were happily talking to Yuan Jiaming, the sightseeing elevator opened and two male employees walked out of the elevator carrying the items to be arranged for the banquet.

"I didn't expect to see that kind of car still around today. What is it called?"

"Porsche 356A."

Porsche? Gin?

When Watanabe Toru heard the conversation, a familiar face appeared in his mind.

Because Miyano Akemi was not killed, Haibara would not call Miyano Akemi and leave a message like in the original plot, and Gin naturally would not know any news about Haibara.

In this case, then it can only be...

A gleam of light flashed in Watanabe Toru's eyes, and he glanced at Hara Yoshiaki who was still in the dark and unaware of the situation.

"You two!" Tokiwa Mio angrily scolded, "That elevator is for VIPs only. Regular employees take the elevator in the back!"

The two employees quickly apologized.

"sorry!"

"Forget it, Tokiwa, they didn't do it on purpose." Kogoro Mouri spoke for the two of them.

Tokiwa Mio then snorted, "Be more careful next time!"

"Yes……"

The two left quickly.

It was not until the evening, when the sun was setting, that Kogoro Mori and others said goodbye to Mio Tokiwa.

"Mori-senpai, thank you very much for coming here today." Tokiwa Mio said to Maori Kogoro with a smile: "I hope to invite you to the opening ceremony."

Maori Kogoro scratched his head and smiled: "Of course, of course."

Xiaolan was a little dissatisfied with Kogoro Mouri's inappropriately enthusiastic attitude, but because there were other people present, she could only keep her words to herself for the time being.

……

The next day.

Just after breakfast, Kogoro Mouri received a call, and his face suddenly changed.

After he hung up the phone, Xiaolan asked curiously, "Dad, who is calling?"

"It's Inspector Megure," Maori Kogoro said gravely, "He wants us to go to the Metropolitan Police Department immediately."

"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned. "Are Xiaoche and I going too? What happened?"

"It seems a murder has occurred. Officer Megure didn't elaborate on the specific circumstances. Anyway, let's go there first."

With a heavy heart, the three of them came to the Metropolitan Police Department. After seeing Officer Megure, Maori Kogoro hurriedly asked, "Officer Megure, what happened?"

Officer Megure said, "Wait a moment, everyone hasn't arrived yet."

Maori Kogoro was stunned: "Is there anyone else?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Agasa walked in with several children from the Junior Detective League.

"PhD?"

"Mr. Mori?"

Both sides were surprised when they saw each other.

Inspector Megure coughed dryly and said, "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started."

As everyone sat down one by one, Inspector Megure said solemnly, "I called you all here today for no other reason than that a murdered body was found in a suite in the Twin Towers skyscraper."

As Inspector Megure took out the photo, Maori Kogoro's face changed: "It's Nishitama City Councilor Oki Iwamatsu."

Inspector Megure nodded. "I heard that you all happened to be there when he asked Tokiwa Mio for accommodation."

After hearing what Inspector Megure said, everyone finally understood why Inspector Megure had called them here.

"The victim died between 10 p.m. and midnight," Inspector Megure continued. "The murder weapon may have been a knife, but it wasn't found at the scene. However, in Oki's hand, he was holding a small wine glass that had been split in half."

"Small wine glass?" Kogoro Mouri was stunned.

"This is it." Officer Shiratori, who was sitting next to him, took out a plastic bag containing a broken wine glass.

"After identification, it was determined that this small wine glass was a high-value item. Oki loved drinking, so it's likely he brought it with him. We believe it was likely a deliberate message left by the suspect to hint at his identity."

Maori Kogoro looked thoughtfully at the photos of Tokiwa Mio and the other five people posted on the blackboard and asked, "In other words, the police suspect the murderer is among these five people?"

"That's right." Inspector Megure nodded.

Maori Kogoro put his hands on his chest, pondered for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly, "I understand. The small wine glass refers to the chocolate. The murderer is Hara Yoshiaki, who likes to eat chocolate."

"Liar!"

Kogoro Mouri's analysis was immediately interrupted by several children.

Ayumi frowned and said, "It's not Mr. Hara."

"That's right," Yuan Tai agreed. "Mr. Yuan even shared some chocolate with us. He's a good man."

"You idiots, please stop making noise." Kogoro Mouri slammed the table.

How can a few little devils tell the difference between good guys and bad guys?

"Mr. Hara should be innocent," Officer Megure said. "We've already questioned five of them before you, and only Mr. Hara has an alibi."

"Huh? You have an alibi." Maori Kogoro scratched his head in embarrassment: "Inspector Megure, you are really something. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had an alibi?"

Dr. Agasa interrupted and asked, "So, what is the motive for the murder?"

"This is still under investigation," said Inspector Megure, looking grave. "Although Oki is a city council member, he seems to hold greater power than the mayor. For example, with the twin skyscrapers, he forced through a municipal law that originally prohibited the construction of high-rise buildings."

Ran suddenly realized: "No wonder Miss Tokiwa couldn't refuse Mr. Oki's request for accommodation before the opening."

"Sister Xiaolan," Watanabe Toru suddenly said, "Doesn't the brooch that Tokiwa-san is wearing look like a small wine glass that's been broken in two?"

"It seems to be true."

Now it was Maori Kogoro's turn to get anxious: "Impossible, it absolutely cannot be Mio..." (Zhao Le's)

"No." Inspector Megure interrupted him: "In terms of the success rate of the crime, she is the biggest suspect."

Officer Shiratori added, "Because the floor above Mr. Oki's accommodation on the 67th floor of Building B, which is the 68th floor, happens to be where Ms. Tokiwa lives."

Maori Kogoro looked stunned: "How could this happen..."

After coming out of the Metropolitan Police Department, Toru Watanabe saw the three little ones whispering to each other, as if they were discussing something.

Watanabe Toru frowned and quickly guessed their little thoughts. Just as he was about to leave quietly, Ayumi called him, "Wait a minute, Toru."

Watanabe Toru sighed softly.

"What's the matter?" He pretended to be confused.

Yuantai clenched his fists and said, "Now that a case has occurred, it's our turn as the Junior Detective Team to take action."

"That's right." Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement, "It's time to show everyone our strength."

358 He is a traitor to the organization

noon the next day.

Rice flower station.

Looking at Watanabe Toru who was late, Yuan Tai complained: "Toru, you are late."

Watanabe Toru apologized insincerely: "I'm sorry, I saw an old lady on the road who couldn't find her way home, so I took her to the police station."

"So that's how it is." Ayumi trusted Watanabe Toru unconditionally: "I knew that Toru wouldn't be late on purpose."
