Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

"Come on, Sister Xiaolan, what are we having for dinner today?"

"Eat curry rice. I cooked plenty. Xiao Tetsu can eat as much as he wants."

"it is good."

……

next day

Toru Watanabe asked for leave in the name of Kogoro Mori.

After extensive investigations and inquiries, it was determined that Takasugi Toshihiko usually lived in a luxury apartment less than one kilometer away from the Haido Hotel.

The name on the mailbox in the apartment lobby gave Watanabe Toru more accurate information. He muttered to himself, "Is the apartment number 705?"

Then, he turned and walked towards the elevator not far away.

054. Eavesdropping

Five minutes later, Toru Watanabe stood at the door.

The numbers "705" were spray-painted on the heavy door. To make sure he was in the right place, Watanabe Toru stood on tiptoe and rang the doorbell.

After waiting for a minute and hearing no movement from inside, Watanabe Toru took out a thin steel wire from his pocket and fiddled with it in the keyhole for a while. With a click, the door opened a small crack.

Watanabe Toru pushed open the door, took off his shoes at the entrance, and walked down the hallway to the living room. After a quick inspection, he placed the first bug under the coffee table. He then went to the bedroom and study, placing the remaining two bugs in hidden locations.

After finishing everything, Watanabe Toru left Takasugi Toshihiko's residence. The next step was to wait patiently for Takasugi Toshihiko to make contact with the organization.

In the afternoon, according to the usual school dismissal time, Watanabe Toru returned to the Mori Detective Agency.

Maori Kogoro still hadn't received any commissions today. He was slumped over his desk with a stubbled face and no image at all. When he saw Watanabe Toru come in, he just raised his head lazily and said, "You're back, Toru."

Watanabe Toru put down his schoolbag and smelled the smell of alcohol in the air. He said helplessly, "Uncle, you drank a lot of wine today. If Sister Xiaolan knew about this, she would blame you again."

Maori Kogoro said indifferently: "What does Xiaolan know? For men, wine is the best thing in the world. Um, Xiaotuo, open the window and ventilate."

Watanabe Toru: “…”

dong dong dong...

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Watanabe Toru went to open the door and said, "Maybe someone has come to ask for a commission, uncle, cheer up."

When I opened the door, I saw three familiar faces.

"Why...why are you here?" Toru Watanabe looked at Ayumi and the other two in surprise.

Ayumi looked at Watanabe Toru: "Toru, I heard you were sick..."

"Ah——" Watanabe Toru suddenly shouted, turned around and said to Maori Kogoro: "Uncle, my classmates are here, I'll take them upstairs."

After saying that, he pushed Ayumi and the other two upstairs.

It would be troublesome if Kogoro Mouri knew that he didn't go to school today.

After pouring a glass of juice for each of Ayumi and the other two, Watanabe Toru sat down beside them and asked, "Are you here to see me?"

"Yes, Ayumi is worried about you." Mitsuhiko said with a sour tone: "I kept saying at school that I would come to see you after school."

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Xiao Che, are you okay?" Ayumi asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell? Have you seen a doctor?"

"It's okay. I just ate something bad yesterday and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable today. It's okay now. Look, I'm fine now."

"So, you can go to school tomorrow?"

"certainly".

"That's great." Ayumi said excitedly, "Tomorrow's physical education class has a three-legged race. If Toru isn't here, I'll be worried about who to team up with."

Mitsuhiko opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

The three of them chatted with Watanabe Toru about some of the things that happened today, and only said goodbye together when the broadcast time of "Kamen Rider" was about to start.

……

During dinner, the earphones connected to the eavesdropping device in Watanabe Toru's pocket suddenly vibrated slightly.

Watanabe Toru's heart skipped a beat, but he put down his bowl and chopsticks without changing his expression, and stood up and said, "I'm full, uncle, sister Xiaolan, I'm going to the study to read."

"Huh? Reading after dinner?" Xiaolan was stunned.

Maori Kogoro chuckled, "He must have borrowed some comic books from a classmate. It's normal for a kid like him."

In the study.

Toru Watanabe took out the headphones, operated them for a while, and put them on.

The recorded voice came out.

"It's me... Who are you? What are you trying to do?"

Takasugi Toshihiko's emotions were obviously fluctuating strongly.

"Ooka Group Bio-Experiment X's public presentation? How did you know about this?"

After a short silence.

Yes, Takasugi Group was also invited.

"What? How is this possible... Putting aside whether I agree or not, it's impossible for me to do this with my abilities."

After another silence, Takasugi Toshihiko seemed to have compromised.

〖Okay, I can promise you〗

〖But after this incident, I hope you won’t bother me again〗

〖Also, regarding that matter, I hope you can keep your word〗

The call was disconnected, and through the earpiece came Takasugi Toshihiko's slamming of the table and his angry curses.

055. Heading to Kyoto

Watanabe Toru took off his headphones.

Judging from the tone of Takasugi Toshihiko's speech, the other party should be a member of the organization and is forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do.

From this we can see that Takasugi Toshihiko is not a member of the organization, but was caught by the organization and forced to do the work.

The conversation involved the Ooka Group and a biological experiment code-named X. Although Watanabe Toru didn't know the nature of the experiment, the fact that the organization was targeting it showed that this experiment was not simple.

You have a new email.

The system suddenly flickered.

Temporary event: On June 8th, the Black Organization will send members to kidnap Nagashima Sakae, the chief scientist of the Ooka Group's biological laboratory.

〖Activity content: Assist the Ooka Group and crush its conspiracy〗

[Event time: June 8th]

[Activity Rewards: Master Level - Kendo, Mall Refresh Coupon*1, 1 Points]

In addition to the regular skill and points rewards, there is also an additional mall refresh ticket. According to the nature of the system, this mission is somewhat dangerous.

Yes, after all, we have to face the organization directly. It would be fine if the organization sent out peripheral members, but if they are members with code names, then the task will be a bit tricky.

From a short-term perspective, he can accept this mission or not. The kidnapping of the chief scientist of the Ooka Group's biological laboratory by the organization has no effect on him at all.

But in the long run, if he helps the Ooka Group resolve this crisis, it means that the Ooka Group will owe him a favor, and the conflict between him and the organization will be inevitable. If he can use the power of the Ooka Group at that time, then his pressure will be much less.

"It seems that it is necessary to go to Kyoto." Watanabe Toru muttered to himself.

……

Friday, June 7th, evening.

Kogoro Mouri happily finished a glass of beer and looked at Toru Watanabe cutting steak, when he suddenly thought of something.

"Xiao Che, your uncle called me during the day. He said he has returned from abroad and wants to take you to Kyoto for two days over the weekend."

"Huh?" Watanabe Toru stopped what he was doing, looking surprised: "Is my uncle back?"

Then, her delicate eyebrows knitted together: "But, the day after tomorrow I'm going to Tropical Paradise with Sister Xiaolan."

Of course, he was the one who called Kogoro Mouri. Without his uncle's intervention, Kogoro Mouri would not have been able to let him go on a long journey without his consent.

In addition, he also needed his uncle to help him reject Xiaolan's suggestion to go to the tropical park together this weekend.

Gin and Vodka would also be there that day, so it would be better for him not to show up to avoid his identity being discovered or suspected.

Seeing the distress on Watanabe Toru's face, Xiaolan, who was sitting next to him, comforted him, "It's okay, Toru. We can go to Tropical Paradise next time. Your uncle rarely comes home, so you can go to Kyoto with him. He must miss you very much. But you have to take more photos and bring them back."

"Okay then." Watanabe Toru responded smoothly, "I'll bring back some souvenirs."

next day

Kyoto, Izumi High School

On a long road in front of the school gate, Toru Watanabe leaned against a tall oak tree with his hands in his pockets.

The warm sunlight passed through the lush branches and leaves above his head, illuminating his slender body and casting a mottled shadow.

After arriving in Kyoto, Toru Watanabe took the antidote for APTX-4869, and then found Ooka Momiji's home based on the address he found.

However, he didn't expect that Okumamei was not at home. The housekeeper told him that because the "Hyakunin Isshu" competition was about to be held, Ooka Hongye would go to the school club to practice karuta on weekends.

So, Toru Watanabe came to Izumishin High School again.

The campus was very quiet on Saturday, with no students to be seen. Watanabe Toru didn't know the exact location of the club, and was afraid of missing out on meeting Ooka Koye, so he simply blocked the school gate and waited for Ooka Koye to come out.

The sunlight grew slightly warmer, illuminating the veins of the leaves on both sides of the road.

It's early summer in June and it's slowly starting to get hot and humid.

A luxurious black car slowly slowed down and stopped at the school gate.

Watanabe Toru's attention was attracted by the car.

The car door opened, a leg stepped out, and as the sole of the foot landed hard, the person inside stood out.

He looked to be about thirty years old, handsome, with short black, slightly curly hair.

He closed the car door, took out his cell phone and made a call, then stood respectfully beside the car.

056. The Force That Kidnapped Ooka Momiji

Russian qing.

A graceful figure appeared at the school gate. She had short brown hair, large, clear eyes, and lips that were just the right size. Her face was beautiful.

She wore a blue and white T-shirt and a light blue pleated skirt, which highlighted her perfect figure. Her bust was full, her waist was just the right size, and her legs had the beautiful curves that every girl dreams of.

Seeing Ooka Hongye coming out, Watanabe Toru breathed a sigh of relief and went forward to greet her, "Ms. Ooka..."

Before he could get close, the handsome man reached out to stop him and stared at Watanabe Toru vigilantly.

"Huh? It's you!" Ooka Hongye looked up and saw Watanabe Toru. She was stunned for a moment, then she became more lively, with surprise in her eyes. "Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time..."

"Miss?" The handsome man standing in front of Ooka Hongye raised his sword-like eyebrows.

His eldest daughter actually knew this man? And he, as the eldest daughter's personal butler, didn't even know?

Ooka Hongye smiled and said, "Iori, this is my friend, don't be so nervous."

"Yes." Iori Muga then lowered his arm and retreated behind Ooka Momiji.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Ooka Momiji's beautiful eyes, etched beneath her long eyelashes, looked at Watanabe Toru. "After we parted at the hotel last time, I realized I didn't ask for your name or contact information, and when I tried to find you, you couldn't find it. It's so nice to see you here. Are you traveling to Kyoto?"

"No, I'm here to see you." Watanabe Toru said.

"Looking for me?" Ooka Hongye looked puzzled.

"Yes, if it's convenient, can we find a place to talk?"
