Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

The kidnapper stared at the daring boy in front of him, a sneer slipping across his lips: "For me, it doesn't matter who the hostage is, as long as I can leave safely. But..."

He glanced at the policemen who were in a tense standoff with him, or more precisely, at the pistols in their hands.

"Kid, if you want this girl to be safe, go get those policemen's guns and give them to me."

He was indeed careless and actually forgot that the police had a gun in his hand. Fortunately, the boy helped him inadvertently.

Watanabe Toru looked at Inspector Megure and the others, and their expressions were very grim. On the surface, the kidnapper's words were meant for Watanabe Toru, but in fact, they were also a threat to them.

"Officer, what should we do?" Two armed policemen looked at Officer Megure hesitantly.

Inspector Megure gritted his teeth and said, "Give it to him."

Toru Watanabe took the pistol from the police and walked towards the kidnapper again.

"Well done, kid." The kidnapper's face was grim as he urged, "Hurry, give me the gun."

"it is good."

Watanabe Toru approached step by step. When he was only three meters away from the kidnapper, his foot suddenly slipped, his body leaned forward, and the pistol slipped from his hand and flew towards the kidnapper.

"Idiot!" The kidnapper subconsciously reached out to take the gun.

"Hey--"

Watanabe Toru smiled faintly, steadying his body as he leaned forward, took out a handkerchief wrapped in flour, and sprinkled dust into the kidnapper's eyes.

090. Ayumi's increasingly revealed emotions

"what--"

The kidnapper was blinded and was frantically trying to wipe his eyes when he heard the boy's voice again.

"uncle."

Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then the dagger in his hand was knocked away. His whole body flew into the air in an instant and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Suspect, I am arresting you on charges of intentional homicide, kidnapping, and extortion."

The kidnapper was knocked down and lay on the ground. After his eyes were irritated by the flour and started to tear up, he finally felt that his eyes were not so painful anymore. He squinted his eyes, trying hard to see his current situation clearly.

Ayumi's little hands tightly grasped the corner of Watanabe Toru's clothes, and there were a few crystal tears on her frightened face. She looked so pitiful that it made people feel pity.

Maori Kogoro glared at Watanabe Toru, his tone was unusually stern: "Toru, you are really messing around. If something unexpected happens, how am I going to explain it to your uncle?"

Watanabe Toru grinned and said, "Because I believe uncle will be able to seize the opportunity. The way you knocked the kidnapper down was so cool."

"Of course." Maori Kogoro said proudly, "My uncle used to be a detective, so dealing with a criminal is no problem at all."

"Yeah." Watanabe Toru nodded in agreement and changed the topic lightly.

Maori Detective Agency.

Mrs. Yoshida hugged her daughter tightly and cried with joy: "Ayumi, I'm so glad that you are okay..."

Ayumi put her cheek against her mother's neck, and the familiar smell made her feel at ease: "Well, it was Xiaotuo and Uncle Maori who rescued me..."

"Mom knows." Mrs. Yoshida comforted Ayumi, wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Watanabe Toru and Maori Kogoro: "Mr. Maori, I..."

"Don't say anything, ma'am." Maori Kogoro waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm glad Ayumi is okay. The kidnappers have been arrested. Such things will not happen again."

"Um…"

"There's no need to take the risk of handing over that one million to the kidnappers." Kogoro Mouri was in a good mood.

Speaking of the one million, Watanabe Toru interjected, "That one million must be a deception by the kidnappers. I guess they want to use it to attract the police's attention so they can sneak away with the 50 million yen...right, uncle, you think so too, right?"

"Huh?" Maori Kogoro was taken aback. Seeing Mrs. Yoshida looking at him, he quickly admitted, "Yes, I thought so too."

"So that's how it is." Mrs. Yoshida suddenly realized and showed a frightened expression: "I almost fell into the kidnappers' trap. Fortunately, Xiao Tetsu and Mr. Maori found the kidnappers' hiding place in advance, otherwise Ayumi might have..."

No kidnapper would leave with a hostage, let alone the hostage who could see his own face clearly. In all likelihood, the kidnapper would kill Ayumi when he escaped.

Before leaving, Ayumi looked at Watanabe Toru with twinkling eyes: "Tetsu, I'm leaving now. Thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome." Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "We are friends..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened.

Caught off guard, I heard a popping sound and felt a cool, soft touch on my face...

……

Two days later, Ayumi returned to school.

Recess time.

Ayumi took out a pack of biscuits from her schoolbag, opened it, and handed it to Watanabe Toru, saying sweetly, "Che, do you want some? These biscuits are delicious."

Watanabe Toru declined: "Thank you, Ayumi, but I don't like cookies, sorry."

Ayumi took out another apple and said, "This apple is for you."

Watanabe Toru declined again: "As for the apple... I brought one too. Ayumi should keep this apple."

"That……"

Behind him, Genta and Mitsuhiko looked at the ungrateful Watanabe Toru with jealousy.

They have known Ayumi for so long, but have never been treated so attentively by her.

It's really a drought that kills people, and a flood that causes waterlogging.

"That's right." Mitsuhiko said, making his presence felt. "The detective badges the doctor made for us should be almost done, right, Conan?"

Conan, who was sitting in his seat, looked up after hearing the voice and thought for a moment before saying, "I think I heard the doctor say it was completed yesterday."

"Great! Ayumi, let's go to the doctor's house together this weekend."

"Okay." Ayumi's cute little face was filled with a sweet smile.

"Then let's..."

Just as Mitsuhiko was about to discuss where everyone would meet up for the weekend, he heard Ayumi say to Watanabe Toru, "Che, I'll come find you first this weekend, and then we'll go to the doctor's house together..."

Mitsuhiko: "..."

weekend.

As agreed, the Junior Detective Team came to Dr. Agasa's house.

"Doctor, this is the detective badge." Yuan Tai held the badge in his chubby hand and fiddled with it curiously.

Dr. Agasa smiled and explained, "That's right. Just press the button on the badge, and the other badges will receive the signal, and you can communicate via radio."

"Sounds cool." Genta put the badge in front of his mouth, pressed the button according to what Dr. Agasa said, and then shouted: "I am Genta, I am Genta, please answer if you hear me."

"I got it," Ayumi said excitedly, "I can really hear Genta's voice."

"We are probably the only elementary school students in the world who have this kind of badge." Mitsuhiko carefully put the badge on his chest, straightened his chest, and felt a little proud.

Dr. Agasa reminded him, "The communication range of the detective badge is within a radius of 2 kilometers. Beyond this range, the signal will not be received."

Toru Watanabe casually stuffed the detective badge into his pocket. Among the children, he and Conan were the only ones who were not interested in this thing.

As the children were enthusiastically studying the detective badges, Dr. Agasa's eyes turned and he said, "Since you are the Junior Detective Team, I will give you a puzzle to test you. If you answer it correctly, there will be a reward."

Conan raised his eyebrows.

Watanabe Toru's face was expressionless.

The three children were intrigued and asked, "Doctor, what puzzle is it?"

Dr. Agasa coughed lightly and asked a question: "88 is called rice birthday, 77 is happy birthday, 99 is white birthday, so what should we call a 44th birthday?"

Yuantai and the other two thought hard for a long time but still couldn't come up with an answer.

Conan sighed and said the answer speechlessly: "Forty-four is exactly half of eighty-eight, right? Eighty-eight is rice (こめ), and rice is rice (ライス) in English. Since it's half (はん), it means half a bowl of rice (半ライス)."

091. The secret of shrinking is revealed

Burger shop.

Dr. Agasa secretly turned around, took out his wallet and looked at the change, his heart aching as if it was bleeding.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have given you any puzzles. I'm just digging a hole for myself. My expenses have exceeded the budget again this month...

"Burp~ I'm full..." Yuantai touched his round belly and burped in satisfaction.

"Genta, you've eaten too much." Ayumi said in a soft voice, biting the straw and looking at the pile of leftovers in front of Genta.

"But it was the doctor who said you can eat anything." Yuan Tai said confidently: "Right, doctor."

Dr. Agasa laughed dryly and nodded.

"By the way, let's go play football this afternoon." Mitsuhiko suggested, "I know there's an open space that's perfect for playing football."

"Okay~" Genta and Ayumi raised their hands in agreement.

As for Toru Watanabe and Conan, they were forced to acquiesce.

After lunch, Dr. Agasa took the children away.

No one noticed that a woman wearing a sun hat who had been drinking coffee at a window seat in the store raised her head at this moment. She had a pretty face, delicate short hair, revealing a fair and translucent neck, and an elegant temperament. Her bright eyes followed the children who had already walked to the door, and the corners of her mouth raised an unfathomable smile.

……

July, the summer season has arrived.

early morning.

Watanabe Toru opened his eyes, and in the darkness, he could clearly hear Xiaolan's regular breathing as she slept.

Watanabe Toru opened the system and found that the mall had been updated.

Items: Mountain Bike (1), APTX-4869 One-Hour Antidote (1), Beauty Cream (1)

[Physical skill recovery 1%: 5 points]

Skills: Beginner - Samba (100), Master - Bartending (1000), Proficient - Sign Language (1), Master - Tank Gunner (10)

Watanabe Toru was speechless. This time, no matter the items or skills, nothing excited him except the APTX-4869 antidote.

Tank gunner? What tank? What kind of gunner?

Watanabe Toru is knowledgeable and thinks a lot when facing things.

Click to see explanation.

Tank Gunner: Soul and tank become one, and moving and hitting targets are never based on blind luck.

He actually is a tank gunner!!

Where would he find a tank? And he only had the skills of a gunner, what about the driver? What about the commander?

Watanabe Toru felt tired, turned off the system and went back to sleep.

……

"See you tomorrow, everyone."

"See you tomorrow……"

After school, the Young Detectives parted ways at the intersection.

Toru Watanabe returned to the Mori Detective Agency with his schoolbag on his back.

"I'm back." Pushing the door open, Watanabe Toru shouted out of habit.

"Toru is back." Maori Kogoro smiled and waved to Watanabe Toru: "Come here, look who's here to see you?"

Huh?

Watanabe Toru was stunned for a moment before noticing a short-haired woman sitting on the sofa.

Is it the client? But what does this have to do with me?

The short-haired woman looked back at Watanabe Toru, then stood up with a smile, walked towards Watanabe Toru, and said, "Xiao Toru, long time no see, how have you been recently?"

No, who are you?

Watanabe Toru's face was full of confusion.

"What? You don't even recognize your aunt?" The short-haired woman looked at Watanabe Toru's bewildered expression and sighed softly, "That's right. Your aunt has been abroad. It's been three years since we last met. You were only this tall back then."
