Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Watanabe Toru smiled and changed the subject: "So, who are you going to visit today?"

Mitsuhiko said, "Let's go to Mr. Kazama and Mr. Kisaragi's place, and then to Mr. Hara's place tomorrow. Mr. Kazama's house is in Setagaya, but he has a studio in Asahino, one stop before Nishitama Station. It seems he'll be staying there until the twin towers officially open."

"Mr. Kisaragi is single. He built a studio-cum-home in Asahino three years ago."

"You guys did a pretty thorough investigation."

Although I don't feel anything about what these kids are going to do, I have to admit that they are really serious about it.

The three of them took the tram and found Bus 710 according to the address and arrived at Hidehiko Kazama's apartment.

Seeing that they were some kids he had met once before, Kazama Hidehiko welcomed them into the house, brought them some juice, sat down across from them, and asked, "Kids, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Yuantai nudged Guangyan with his shoulder and whispered, "Guangyan, ask quickly."

"Me, me?" Mitsuhiko hesitated.

Yuan Tai said as a matter of course: "You were the one who approached us first."

"Okay, I understand." Mitsuhiko could only barely pull out a small booklet from his pocket, then looked at Kazama Hidehiko and asked, "Mr. Kazama, actually, we want to, we want to..."

In the end, he was too embarrassed to explain his purpose, so he changed the subject and said, "Your house is quite nice. Not only is the air good, but you can also see Mount Fuji."

Everyone: "..."

Finally, Ayumi mustered up the courage to say, "We are the Junior Detective Team. We are here to investigate the murder of Mr. Oki."

Fengjian Yingyan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You are really brave. Well, you can ask anything you want."

Mitsuhiko began to take notes: "So, what do you think of the deceased Mr. Oki?"

"Oh? That's a pretty sharp point." Kazama Hidehiko pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and commented, "He's a sleazy middle-aged man, isn't he? But thanks to his revision of the municipal law, I got my job, and I'm very grateful to him for that."

Mitsuhiko continued to ask, "Did you have any disputes with Mr. Oki during the design process?"

Kazama Hidehiko shook his head: "Not with Mr. Oki."

"So you mean it's with other people?" Watanabe Toru interrupted.

"This……"

Just when Kazama Hidehiko didn't know how to answer this question, Ayumi suddenly looked at the photo on the coffee table and asked, "Who is that photo?"

Kazama Hidehiko explained: "He is my only son, isn't he cute? For example, when I am working alone at night, I always want to hear his voice. Even though I know he is asleep, I will still call him. Being a parent is really stupid."

……

It was already evening when they came out of Hidehiko Kazama's apartment, and they went to Minezuki Rugetsu's residence.

Looking at Ruyue Fengyue who was concentrating on painting with her back to them, the children all felt the solemnity buried in the air.

Genta nudged Mitsuhiko with his shoulder, signaling him to speak.

Mitsuhiko pointed at himself: "Me again?"

Genta nodded.

Mitsuhiko could only speak reluctantly: "Well, we are the Junior Detective Team."

Ruyue (bfef) Fengyue paused and glanced over.

Mitsuhiko shrank his neck, mustered up the courage to continue, "We would like to ask Mr. Oki..."

Before he could finish his words, Ruyue Fengyue interrupted him with a loud rebuke: "Don't try to imitate the police in solving cases, kid!"

The three little ones were so frightened that they were speechless.

Ruyue Fengyue slowly turned around, his expression slightly softened. "But then again, it's not good to go back empty-handed, so I'll give you something good as a gift."

"Eh?"

Coming out of Ruzuki Minezuki's residence, Mitsuhiko sighed as he looked at the portraits that Ruzuki Minezuki had drawn for him and the others. "Although I was very happy to receive the paintings, I didn't ask about anything related to the case."

"Is it not possible if he's not a police officer?" Ayumi was a little unwilling.

Watanabe Toru had known this would be the outcome, and he didn't bother to offer any comfort. He said, "It's getting late, let's go back early."

"Okay." Ayumi and the other two looked frustrated. "I hope we can learn something from Mr. Hara tomorrow."

Watanabe Toru: “…”

What a stubborn bunch.

The few of them took the tram back to Beika-cho and then parted at the intersection.

Yuan Jiaming, it’s almost time to die.

Walking alone on the street, Watanabe Toru thought to himself.

……

The next day.

The Junior Detective Team takes action again and prepares to investigate at Yuan Jiaming's home.

This time, Huiyuan actually came as well. Watanabe Toru was a little surprised and asked, "Why did you come here too?"

Huiyuan said calmly: "I also want to see how Watanabe-san solves the case."

Watanabe Toru: “…”

It seems he is here to watch the fun.

A group of people arrived at Yuan Jiaming's house. Guangyan rang the doorbell, but there was no movement from inside.

"Huh? The door seems to be open." Ayumi found that the door was ajar.

"Really? Mr. Yuan is really careless."

When they walked into the house and reached the entrance, they were horrified to find Yuan Jiaming lying in a pool of blood.

He is indeed dead.

Watanabe Toru was not surprised at all. He turned to Mitsuhiko and said, "Mitsuhiko, notify the police quickly."

"Okay." Mitsuhiko hurried to call the police.

"You don't look surprised at all." Huiyuan walked behind Watanabe Toru: "It's as if you knew he would be killed."

Watanabe Toru nodded, without hiding anything from Huibara: "He was killed by Gin."

Gin? !

When she heard this frightening name, Huiyuan's face changed instantly.

"Hara Yoshiaki, he's also a traitor to the organization." Watanabe Toru continued, "Gin will naturally not let him go."

"How...how do you know he's from the organization?" Huiyuan looked at Watanabe Toru, still a little incredulous.

Watanabe Toru chuckled, "My position in the organization is different from yours, so I'm naturally exposed to more things than you."

Huiyuan was speechless.

After a long silence, he asked in a low voice, "So, Gin is now in Nishitama City."

Watanabe Toru nodded slightly. "But his target is only Yuan Jiaming, not us, so you don't have to be so nervous."

As he was speaking, Officer Megure, who received the alarm call, led his team to the scene.

After investigating the scene, Inspector Megure asked the coroner, "How is it, Coroner?"

The coroner shook his head. "We haven't performed an autopsy yet, so the exact cause of death is still unclear. However, we can estimate the time of death to be between yesterday afternoon and evening."

"Mr. Hara seemed to be about to eat the cake." Officer Shiratori looked at the chocolate cake on the table and analyzed: "The murderer came here at this time, so he used the silver knife he used to cut the cake to fight the murderer."

"But how do you explain the broken wine glass next to the body?" asked Officer Takagi.

"Is there any need to ask? This means that the murderer who killed Mr. Oki and Mr. Hara is the same person." Officer Shiratori said with certainty.

Inspector Megure nodded, agreeing with Inspector Shiratori's opinion.

Because Yuan Jiaming was killed, the Junior Detective Team had to give up the investigation and went home obediently.

……

Two days later.

Downstairs at the Maori Detective Agency, a group of people were preparing to join the twin skyscrapers.

Maori Kogoro specially rented a car with plenty of seats and waited downstairs: "That rich lady hasn't arrived yet?"

"He said he had already left..." Xiaolan was waiting by the car, holding a bouquet of red flowers that she intended to give as a gift.

In the car, Ayumi smiled and said, "It's really exciting!"

Mitsuhiko nodded: "There will definitely be a lot of delicious food!"

"I want to eat eel rice." Yuantai was even more looking forward to it.

Guangyan was speechless: "There shouldn't be such a thing..."

"Hey, sorry to have kept you waiting."

The gardener that everyone had been waiting for finally appeared in everyone's sight and waved to everyone.

"Sonoko..." Xiaolan looked at Sonoko in surprise: "What's wrong with your hair?"

"I changed my look. I copied her and permed my hair into waves." Sonoko smiled and looked at Haibara Ai, then raised her hand to touch the ends of her hair. "How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Toru Watanabe stared blankly at Sonoko, who looked like Miyano Shiho after her new hairstyle, and then started cursing in his heart.

I originally thought that Haibara didn't leave a message for Miyano Akemi, and that I and the others would not be noticed by Gin, but I never expected that Sonoko actually had the same hairstyle as Miyano Shiho.

It would be fine if Gin didn't notice it, but if he did, Sonoko would definitely mistake her for Miyano Shiho and kill her.

Seeing Watanabe Toru staring at her, Sonoko thought he was attracted by her new hairstyle. She approached Watanabe Toru with some pride and asked with a smile: "Tetsu, does my new hairstyle look good?"

"nice."

At this point, what else could Watanabe Toru say? He could only sigh softly in his heart.

Huihara had obviously noticed the potential danger of Sonoko's new hairstyle and understood what Watanabe Toru was worried about. After Sonoko got in the car, she whispered to Watanabe Toru, "If the organization is only dealing with traitors, then after Hara Yoshiaki's death, Gin should have left Nishitama City, so you don't have to worry too much."

Watanabe Toru was reluctant to reveal too much of the plot, so he could only sigh and say, "I hope so."

……

It was getting dark.

The invited guests parked their cars in the parking lot one after another and entered the twin towers.

In the brightly lit banquet hall, Kogoro Mouri looked at the dazzling array of food on the table with shining eyes, and frantically put food on his plate.

"Caviar with foie gras and roast duck—I can't handle it."

Seeing this, Dr. Agasa's appetite was also aroused. He picked up the tongs and was about to take some delicious food, but was stopped by Huibara: "No, the doctor can only eat Japanese food. I will go get you some low-calorie food."

Dr. Agasa sighed regretfully.

Maori Kogoro whispered in Dr. Agasa's ear: "Why does this child look so much like your wife?"

Dr. Agasa smiled helplessly: "Thanks to her, I am often hungry."

The three little members of the Junior Detective Team were very interested in the cars on display.

Yuan Tai wanted to stick his face to the car, his eyes shining: "What a cool car."

Mitsuhiko explained: "This is Ford's latest convertible."

"But how do we move such a big car here?"

"They must have disassembled the parts and then assembled them here."

"No." Ayumi had a different opinion: "It was brought up in a freight elevator."

"A freight elevator?"

Ayumi explained, "Our building has one too. It's much larger than a regular elevator, so moving the wardrobe is easy."

...... ... ....

"How about an elephant?" Yuan Tai asked excitedly.
