Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

"Dad." Xiaolan walked over with Ayumi by her hand: "I'm going to help Aunt Yoshida. She must be too busy to handle it alone. I'll ask you to take care of Ayumi and Xiaoche."

"Okay." Maori Kogoro nodded. After learning the truth from Watanabe Toru, he also knew that Mrs. Yoshida would be very busy.

084. Visiting Mr. Matsumoto

Two days later.

Class B, first grade of Didan Primary School.

"Huh? Did you encounter a murder case?" Before class, Conan, Genta, and Mitsuhiko all looked surprised when they heard Ayumi talk about what happened at her uncle's house.

Ayumi nodded: "Well, thanks to Uncle Maori, the case was solved smoothly."

"Uncle Maori?" Conan was stunned and asked, "Ayumi, you said that uncle found out the truth?"

"yes.".

"How is this possible?" Conan subconsciously didn't believe it: "That confused uncle... uh..."

He suddenly felt an unfriendly gaze falling on him.

"Well... what I mean is, how did Uncle Maori find out the murderer?" Conan quickly changed his words, almost forgetting that there was a disciple of Maori Kogoro here.

Ayumi thought about it seriously, then scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I'm not very clear about it, Xiao Che, you know-?"

Watanabe Toru nodded: "I know a little."

He briefly told a few people about the case. Of course, he mainly told it to Conan, Genta and Mitsuhiko. Mitsuhiko had difficulty listening, and Genta was even more confused.

As a detective, Conan has solved many murders. Because of this, after listening to Watanabe Toru's description of the murderer's modus operandi and the truth behind it, he felt even more incredible.

If he were to handle this case, it would take him a lot of effort, but that confused uncle whom he had always looked down upon solved it in just half a day?

incredible!

The case of Yoko Okino could be explained as a coincidence, but coincidences never happen twice in a row.

Was he mistaken? Was that old man actually playing dumb? But what was his purpose?

Conan was puzzled.

"Oh, right, we went to Conan's house yesterday." Genta quickly lost interest in the case he didn't understand and changed the subject: "Dr. Agasa said that he would make detective badges for our Junior Detective League."

"Detective badge?" Ayumi looked curious.

Mitsuhiko explained, "It's a small walkie-talkie. With this badge, it will be very convenient for us, the Junior Detective Team, to communicate with each other when we are on the move."

"Really?" Ayumi said with anticipation, "It sounds great."

"The doctor said it will be finished this weekend. Let's go together then."

"Uh-huh."

The school bell rang.

Kobayashi Sumiko walked into the classroom holding the lesson plan.

She adjusted her glasses and, looking at the students seated at attention, said, "Before class begins, I have something to announce. Mr. Matsumoto is injured and will be unable to teach this month. Another music teacher will be replacing Mr. Matsumoto this month. I hope everyone will cooperate with the teacher and attend class well."

Is Mr. Matsumoto injured?

The students who heard the news immediately started whispering to each other.

Kobayashi Sumiko clapped her hands and the classroom returned to silence.

"I hope Mr. Matsumoto can recover soon. Everyone, please wait patiently for Mr. Matsumoto to come back. Okay, now let's start the class..."

after class.

"How did Mr. Matsumoto get hurt?" Ayumi looked worried. "Is it serious?"

Mitsuhiko consoled him, "Teacher Kobayashi said that Teacher Matsumoto just missed class this month, so it shouldn't be too serious. Maybe he just twisted his leg accidentally."

"Why don't we go visit Mr. Matsumoto after school? What do you think?" Genta suggested.

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi's eyes lit up, and they were about to raise their hands in agreement, but Conan poured cold water on them: "Do you know where Mr. Matsumoto lives?"

"This..." The three little guys were instantly dejected.

"I know." Watanabe Toru said.

Ayumi's face lit up with joy: "Really, Xiaotetsu, do you know where Mr. Matsumoto's house is?"

Watanabe Toru nodded and said, "I once saw Mr. Matsumoto enter an apartment building. I think as long as I ask the apartment manager, I should be able to find out where Mr. Matsumoto lives."

"Great." Watanabe Toru's words made the three children excited again.

· ········Request flowers·· ·········

Only Conan sighed helplessly. He was afraid of his teacher, Sayuri Matsumoto, from the bottom of his heart.

……

After school, Toru Watanabe and his group came to Sayuri Matsumoto's residence.

"The administrator said that Teacher Matsumoto lives here." Genta stood on tiptoe and rang the doorbell.

The door of the room opened quickly, and a woman in her forties walked out. Seeing the five children outside, she looked puzzled: "Who are you?"

"Hello, Auntie." Watanabe Toru said politely, "We are students of Teacher Matsumoto. We heard that she was injured, so we came to see her."

"Ah... So you're Sayuri's student." Matsumoto Rie enthusiastically made way for her: "Please come in."

... .. ....

"excuse me."

Several people followed Matsumoto Rie into the house and saw Matsumoto Sayuri sitting on the sofa in the living room.

She was wearing a light blue long dress, with an agate pendant hanging around her snow-white neck, metal-framed glasses on her face, and a book in her hand. She exuded an intellectual beauty from the inside out. Although she was not wearing any makeup, it still couldn't conceal her natural beauty.

"Sayuri, look who's here to see you?" Rie Matsumoto said to her daughter.

"Huh? Are you looking for me?" Matsumoto Sayuri turned around and saw Watanabe Toru and the others. She asked in surprise, "You guys? Why are you here?"

"I heard from Mr. Kobayashi that Mr. Matsumoto was injured. We were a little worried, so we came to see the teacher." Ayumi asked with concern: "Ms. Matsumoto, are you okay?"

"It's just a minor injury." Matsumoto Sayuri raised her bandaged arm and said with a smile, "I'll be fine after resting for a while. Thank you for coming to see me."

"Teacher Matsumoto, how did you get injured?" Conan looked at Sayuri Matsumoto, and his detective sense of smell made him sense something was wrong.

Judging from the way Sayuri Matsumoto's arm was bandaged, it didn't look like a sprain or a cut by a sharp object, otherwise there wouldn't be a need for so many bandages to bandage her arm.

This is necessary unless you are injured.

085. Fei Yingli's Scar

Every time she sees Conan, Sayuri Matsumoto always thinks of her former student Shinichi Kudo.

Not only do they look alike, but they also both sing tone-deaf, which led her to believe that Conan was Kudo Shinichi's biological brother.

Seeing him ask about the reason for her injury, Sayuri Matsumoto casually explained: "Well... the teacher accidentally scratched his arm while cutting something."

lie!

Conan's crescent eyes shone with an innocent tone, questioning: "Huh? Was it just a knife scratch? But there are too many bandages around it, it looks like it's seriously injured."

"Really?" Conan's words reminded the other children. Mitsuhiko touched his chin with his hand and said, "When I was accidentally scratched by a knife before, my mother would disinfect it with iodine and then put a band-aid on it."

"Six-two-seven," that's right. Conan nodded in agreement, saying it was just a scratch and would heal in two days.

Seeing that the children were looking at her with puzzled eyes, Matsumoto Sayuri didn't know how to explain for a moment.

The truth cannot be told.

These kids don't believe lies.

Sayuri Matsumoto felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. Are children nowadays so difficult to fool?

Seeing Sayuri Matsumoto looking bewildered, Toru Watanabe spoke up to help her out: "Teacher Matsumoto just doesn't want us to worry. Since Teacher Matsumoto is fine, please don't make things difficult for her."

"That's right."

"Then Mr. Matsumoto, please have a good rest. Everyone is waiting for you to come back."

"Thank you, the teacher will get better soon."

Seeing that the matter was about to be revealed, Conan suddenly became anxious: "But..."

"Kids, come and have some snacks." Rie Matsumoto came over with cake and juice.

"Wow...thank you, Auntie." In an instant, the children's attention shifted to the snacks, and no one cared about Sayuri Matsumoto's injury anymore.

Conan sighed secretly. He originally wanted to use the children's curiosity to put pressure on Matsumoto Sayuri.

The real reason why Sayuri Matsumoto was injured.

But I didn’t expect that dim sum would snatch it away.

Conan looked depressed. Children are just children. Snacks are not as good as finding out the truth.

Toru Watanabe looked at Sayuri Matsumoto, and their eyes met. Toru Watanabe blinked, and Sayuri Matsumoto smiled slightly and gave him a thumbs up.

After finishing their snacks, the children said goodbye.

Conan was still unwilling to give in: "Just leave like this?"

"Since Teacher Matsumoto is fine, let's not disturb her rest." said Toru Watanabe.

"And Kamen Rider is about to start." Genta said in a muffled voice.

Sayuri Matsumoto smiled brightly: "In that case, the teacher won't keep you here. Be careful on the way back."

"it is good."

Everyone said goodbye to Sayuri Matsumoto happily, but Conan looked listless. As a detective, knowing that something was wrong but unable to find out the truth was a terrible feeling.

Maori Detective Agency

Watanabe Toru opened the door and walked into the house, shouting as usual: "I'm back."

"Xiao Che is back?" He was responded by a voice he hadn't heard for a long time.

"Auntie Hibiki?" Watanabe Toru looked at Hibiki Eri in surprise as she sat on the sofa and turned back to look at him with a smile: "Why are you here?"

"What? You don't welcome me?" Kisaki Eri raised her eyebrows and said in a displeased tone.

"How could that be..." Watanabe Toru put down his schoolbag and sat next to Eri Kisaki: "It's just that I haven't seen Aunt Kisaki for a long time."

"Do you want to go to your aunt's house this weekend?"

Before Watanabe Toru could respond, Maori Kogoro's voice came over: "If you have nothing else, go back first. Let me think about this matter."

"Okay." Kiyori's smile faded, and she stood up to regain her composure. "Then I'll go back first."

"Auntie, are you leaving now?" Watanabe Toru asked doubtfully, "Sister Xiaolan hasn't come back yet."

"Don't wait for her. Auntie still has things to take care of." Kisaki Eri touched Watanabe Toru's head and said, "Little Toru, come and play at Auntie's when you have time."

Watanabe Toru nodded: "Okay."

……

"What? Mom just came over?"

Twenty minutes later, Xiaolan returned home and learned that Kisaki Eri had just left. She complained to Maori Kogoro, "Dad, why didn't you let Mom stay?"

"Why would I keep that woman?" Maori Kogoro flipped through the newspaper without even raising his eyelids. "If she were at home, she'd definitely cause chaos..."

Xiaolan stamped her feet in anger, very dissatisfied with her father's attitude but helpless: "Mom, is there something wrong with coming home?"

"Nothing, just talking about some work things." Kogoro Mouri explained vaguely.

Xiaolan obviously didn't believe it and looked at Watanabe Toru.

Watanabe Toru shook his head: "After I came back, Aunt Fei was ready to leave."

Xiaolan sighed, "If only I hadn't gone to the club after school."

Maori Kogoro didn't seem to want to talk too much about Kisaki Eri. He put down the newspaper and said, "Xiaolan, I'm hungry. Let's cook quickly."

Xiaolan glared at her father, then turned and left the office.

late at night.
