Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Kobayashi Sumiko clapped her hands twice, and silence immediately returned to the audience.

"The new music teacher has arrived. I'm keeping her name a secret for now," Kobayashi Sumiko said, keeping it a secret. "But I can tell you, she's very beautiful."

Regardless of gender or age, beautiful people are always more likely to attract people's attention. However, this time, Kobayashi Sumiko did not give them the opportunity to discuss. She opened the textbook and said, "Okay, let's start the class now."

After class, the students began to discuss the new music teacher.

"Hey, what do you think the new teacher looks like?" Ayumi asked her friends.

Mitsuhiko thought for a moment and said, "I hope the new music teacher has long black hair, is around 25 years old, speaks softly, and, yes, has two dimples when he smiles."

Watanabe Toru curled the corners of his mouth. This kid really dared to think so.

Yuantai scratched his head: "I don't care what I look like, just don't criticize me all the time."

This is the only small request of a naughty student.

"Xiao Toru, what do you think?" Ayumi looked at Watanabe Toru.

Watanabe Toru said, "We have music class this afternoon. We'll find out what the new teacher looks like this afternoon. Of course, it would be best if she's pretty."

Well, he is also a vulgar person.

……

The last class in the afternoon was the music class that everyone was looking forward to.

In the music classroom, all the students were looking at the classroom door, waiting for the new teacher to arrive.

Da da da…

The footsteps gradually became clearer as they got closer and closer, and then a beautiful figure appeared at the door.

She was wearing a neat white T-shirt and a brown long skirt. She had a slender figure, a fair face, a pair of round-framed glasses, and her black hair swayed down to her waist.

Watanabe Tetsu looked twice.

Teacher Kobayashi is right, she is indeed a very beautiful teacher.

But, I seem to have seen this face somewhere before?

Watanabe Toru recalled, and a picture suddenly froze in his mind.

Wasn't she the woman I met at the Chinese restaurant yesterday? I even suspected she was a member of the organization.

Watanabe Toru's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. If this new music teacher was really a member of the organization, should he consider transferring schools?

"Hello, students. I'm your new music teacher." While Watanabe Toru was lost in thought, the beautiful female teacher walked up to the podium. Facing the students, she introduced herself, "My name is Matsumoto Sayuri, and I'm a former student at Teitan Elementary School. I look forward to your guidance in future music classes."

Sayuri Matsumoto's words interrupted Watanabe Toru's wandering thoughts. He stared blankly at the delicate and beautiful oval face on the podium, and finally, he remembered something.

Sayuri Matsumoto, the daughter of Matsumoto Kiyonaga, a management officer of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, drank lemon tea poisoned by her husband on her wedding day. Fortunately, she was rescued in time and saved her life.

Because there are so many characters in "Detective Conan", Watanabe Toru can roughly divide some supporting characters who appear less frequently into three categories.

The first category is the ones that left a deep impression, such as the Koshimizu Nanatsuki and the Ooka red leaves...

The second type is that the impression is not very deep, but as long as the name is said, you can still remember who he is. Sayuri Matsumoto is one of this type.

The third type has no impression at all. Even if you tell Watanabe Toru his name, he will look confused.

Knowing Sayuri Matsumoto's identity, Toru Watanabe felt relieved. If the daughter of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division management officer was a member of the organization, then Matsumoto Kiyonaga could commit seppuku in front of all the people of Wazoku.

As for the person Matsumoto Sayuri met yesterday...

Sayuri Matsumoto probably didn't know that he was involved with the organization.

052. There is something wrong with this teacher

Maori Detective Agency.

"Huh? You said your music teacher has changed to Mr. Matsumoto?"

During dinner, Xiaolan was surprised when she heard Watanabe Toru talking about his music teacher.

Watanabe Toru swallowed the fish fillet in his mouth and asked: "Sister Xiaolan, do you also know Mr. Matsumoto?"

"Yes. Ms. Matsumoto was my music teacher when I was in junior high school." Xiaolan said, "But how did she suddenly become an elementary school teacher?"

Watanabe Toru shook his head: "I don't know, but everyone likes Teacher Matsumoto. She is beautiful and sings very well."

"Really? Shinichi was very afraid of Mr. Matsumoto back then." Ran laughed when she recalled some past events. "Because Shinichi is tone-deaf, he often made Mr. Matsumoto angry."

Watanabe Toru knew this. Kudo Shinichi was tone-deaf, but he had absolute pitch. Although there was not much connection between the two, it was really too strange that a "genius" who could distinguish the difference between tones could not hear the "uniqueness" of his own singing.

……

The next day.

After school, Watanabe Toru, Ayumi and the other two walked out of the campus together.

Because Mr. Kobayashi assigned the homework of drawing a map in a team, he had to form a team with these three guys today to complete the homework together.

"I think we should split into two groups," Mitsuhiko suggested. "One group will go from the school to Beika Station, and the other group will go from the school to Beika Park. Then, we'll meet up at the art museum, forming a triangle."

"I agree." Ayumi raised her hand and said, "Then I'll be in the same group with Xiao Tetsu."

Mitsuhiko opened his mouth. He made this suggestion partly out of consideration for map-making efficiency, but mainly because he wanted to spend some time alone with Ayumi, to stabilize his increasingly unstable relationship with her. He even had a topic in mind. But he never expected that before he could even open his mouth to invite Ayumi, she had already put her arm around Watanabe Toru's arm.

Mitsuhiko felt the world around him darken in color, but still unwilling to give up, he asked, "Xiaotetsu, is it okay? Ayumi will be in your group?"

"I don't care. It's okay if Ayumi is in my group." Watanabe Toru was very casual, but Mitsuhiko felt bitter in his heart: "Okay, then I'll be in the same group with Genta."

"Then we'll meet at the art museum later." Ayumi took Watanabe Toru and waved goodbye to Mitsuhiko Genta.

The two walked along the street, stopping here and there, drawing the surrounding street scenes and shops on paper at a certain scale to make a simple map.

Beika Park was the last stop. After Ayumi marked the drawing paper, she carefully put it away with a sweet smile on her face: "The map is now complete. I wonder how Mitsuhiko and Genta are doing?"

"The distances from both sides are about the same, so we should be able to get to the art museum soon." Watanabe Toru said, "Let's go there first."

"Okay." Ayumi nodded. After taking two steps, she stopped and pointed in the direction of the park entrance: "Xiaotetsu, look, isn't that Mr. Matsumoto standing there?"

Sayuri Matsumoto?

Watanabe Toru looked up and thought it was really her. She was wearing a light blue dress, with a bag slung over her shoulder, and she looked like she was waiting for someone.

Now that you have seen the teacher, you should go up and say hello.

"Ms. Matsumoto."

"Huh?" Matsumoto Sayuri glanced at the two people and recognized them as her students. "It's you, why are you here? Are you on a date?"

She winked and said teasingly.

A blush appeared on Ayumi's face: "No, Xiaotuo and I are drawing a map."

She unfolded the map she had just made and showed it to Sayuri Matsumoto.

"Wow, that's a great drawing." Matsumoto Sayuri exclaimed, "You guys are amazing."

"Thank you, Mr. Matsumoto." Ayumi smiled happily after receiving the praise.

"Mr. Matsumoto, you used to be a middle school teacher, right?" Toru Watanabe suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Matsumoto Sayuri looked at Watanabe Toru in surprise: "How did you know?"

"Sister Xiaolan told me that you were her music teacher when she was in middle school."

"Xiaolan..." Matsumoto Sayuri looked up and recalled the name, blinking twice: "The Xiaolan you are talking about, is her last name Maori?"

"Yeah." Watanabe Toru nodded.

"It really is her." Matsumoto Sayuri smiled and said, "Yes, she was indeed my student."

"Then why did you suddenly come to be a primary school teacher?" Watanabe Toru asked in confusion.

"Because..." Matsumoto Sayuri bent down, her eyes level with Watanabe Toru's, and said in a low voice: "I love eating children the most."

Watanabe Toru: “…”

Does this teacher have cat disease?

053. One day I will pick the lock

Matsumoto Sayuri, who had originally wanted to scare Watanabe Toru, suddenly felt embarrassed when she was stared at by him expressionlessly.

So he coughed lightly and pretended nothing had happened.

"Because I'm getting married soon, I want to experience what it's like to be with children in advance."

"Ah?" Ayumi opened her mouth slightly, surprise in her bright eyes: "Ms. Matsumoto, are you getting married?"

"Yes." Sayuri Matsumoto nodded with a smile: "The wedding will be next month."

"So, Mr. Matsumoto is waiting for your fiancé here?"

"Yeah, we've made plans to have dinner and watch a movie together tonight."

"How romantic! Mr. Matsumoto's fiancé must be a very outstanding person, right?"

Sayuri Matsumoto answered patiently: "He is a very gentle person, or rather, a little silly. Besides, I know a secret of his. If I tell him, he will definitely be shocked, haha..."

Watanabe Toru suddenly interrupted: "Teacher Matsumoto, did you go to a Chinese restaurant at noon the day before yesterday?"

He wanted to take this opportunity to find out who was meeting Vodka that day.

"The day before yesterday..." Matsumoto Sayuri put her index finger on her chin and thought for a moment, "Well, I did have Chinese food with my fiancé at noon the day before yesterday. Watanabe-san, how did you know? Were you at that restaurant that day?"

Toru Watanabe's heart sank. He didn't expect that the person Vodka would meet was Sayuri Matsumoto's fiancé Takasugi Toshihiko.

However, I have the impression that Takasugi Toshihiko has nothing to do with the organization. Could it be that because of my appearance, the plot has changed subtly?

This is not good news.

Without giving it much thought, Watanabe Toru replied, "No, I just happened to be passing by that day and saw someone who looked very similar to Mr. Matsumoto entering a Chinese restaurant. I didn't expect it to be Mr. Matsumoto."

"So that's how it is." Sayuri Matsumoto suddenly realized.

Because they still had to go find Mitsuhiko Genta, Toru Watanabe and Ayumi said goodbye to Sayuri Matsumoto.

After the four of them met at the art museum, Ayumi told the other two about her encounter with Sayuri Matsumoto.

"I didn't expect that Teacher Matsumoto is getting married." Mitsuhiko was also surprised to hear the news that Sayuri Matsumoto was getting married.

Genta asked excitedly, "If Ms. Matsumoto gets married, will she invite us to her wedding?"

"That's impossible, Genta." Mitsuhiko broke Genta's fantasy: "The people attending Teacher Matsumoto's wedding should be her friends and relatives. If all the students are invited, it will be too messy."

"Is that so?" Yuan Tai sighed regretfully.

Several people put the drawn maps together, and after completing the work, they said goodbye to each other and went home.

……

Maori Detective Agency

Toru Watanabe put down his schoolbag and sat on the sofa, thinking.

He was troubled by the incident involving Takasugi Toshihiko. The plot was out of control and involved the organization, which made him feel insecure.

It seems necessary to eavesdrop on some information from Takasugi Toshihiko.

Just in time…

Watanabe Toru opened the mall.

The eavesdropping devices and lock-picking skills that he had originally despised came in handy at this moment.

Although his lock picking skills were only at the mastery level, it was enough. He wasn't going to break into a bank's vault.

As for Takasugi Toshihiko's residence, it wasn't difficult to find. While the Takasugi Group wasn't as prominent as the Suzuki, Ooka, and Tozawa conglomerates, it was still a conglomerate. As the heir to the Takasugi Group, if one were willing to inquire, one could find a lot of information about him, including the area where he lived.

After making up his mind, Watanabe Toru exchanged three eavesdropping devices and lock-picking technology.

Then, he clicked on the introduction of the eavesdropping device.

[Eavesdropping device: easy to carry, impeccable sound quality, can record voices when connected to headphones, and can be destroyed remotely]

The bug in his hand was barely larger than a grain of rice, so light that it was impossible to tell what material it was made of. After use, it could be destroyed remotely, saving him the trouble of a second dive to retrieve it. It was a good value for money.

"Dad, Xiao Che, dinner is ready." Xiaolan's voice came from the door.

Toru Watanabe put away the bug.
