Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Someone did all this for me, saved my life, so I...

"Don't worry, we won't kill innocent people. We just want to return to the world of light."

Watanabe Toru's words dispelled her last worries.

She looked up at Watanabe Toru, her eyes gradually becoming firm. Finally, she nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

136. You, are you a woman?

That day, Toru Watanabe left Yueying Island.

Because Xiaolan and Kogoro Mouri had told each other that they wanted to stay with their uncle, Toru Watanabe, who was unable to go home, found a hotel to stay in.

It was not until the next day that Watanabe Toru returned home after confirming that Kogoro Mouri and Ran had gone to Tsukikage Island.

……

Another day passed, afternoon.

Kogoro Mouri and Ran returned home.

Watanabe Toru helped with the luggage and asked for information: "Uncle, is the matter resolved?"

Maori Kogoro slumped down on the sofa, his face grim. "After we arrived on the island, we asked the staff at the village office about Aso Keiji, but were told he'd died over a decade ago. How could a dead person write a letter? This is a nasty prank that cost me all this trouble..."

"That's not all." Xiaolan continued, "The day before my father and I went to the island, three murders occurred on the island. Now the police have blocked the entire island, and everyone entering and leaving has to undergo strict inspections."

"I see... 17..."

"Oh, Xiao Che, I bought you a beautiful souvenir. Take a look and see if you like it."

"Wow, thank you, Xiaolan."

The next afternoon, Toru Watanabe received a message from Masami Miura that she had arrived at Beika Station.

Toru Watanabe found an excuse to go out, took an aptx-4869 one-hour antidote in the public toilet in the park, hailed a taxi and went to the station.

At the exit, I saw Ma Shengshi carrying his luggage from a distance.

"Chengshi." Watanabe Toru walked over: "Welcome back to Tokyo."

"Please take good care of me from now on." Masashi said with a smile.

"You're welcome." Watanabe Toru put his arm around Asami's shoulders, displaying the warmth of a Tokyo native. "Would you like to have a drink together tonight?"

Ma Shengshi's body froze. After a few seconds of silence, he struggled uncomfortably and said, "It's okay to have a drink, but can you please not do this? It's not nice."

Watanabe Toru was stunned and asked curiously, "We are all men, what's wrong with hugging each other's shoulders?"

"M...man?"

Now it was Masashi's turn to be stunned. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Who told you I'm a man? Do I look like a man like this?"

"Huh?" Watanabe Toru scratched his head. "Doesn't your father have a son? Isn't it you?"

Seeing that Watanabe Toru didn't look like he was playing dumb, Masashi explained angrily, "My father doesn't have a son, but he always wanted one, so he raised me like one since I was little. Every time he introduced me to others, he always said I was his son. Plus, I had a tomboyish image and personality when I was little, so gradually, the residents of the island thought my father had a son and a daughter. Look, I don't have an Adam's apple at all, right?"

Watanabe Toru looked at her smooth swan neck and didn't think that Asami needed to lie to him now. Thinking of his own impudence just now, he couldn't help but touch his nose awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I was abrupt."

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Masashi relaxed and said in surprise, "But I didn't expect you to know all this. Your intelligence is terrifying."

"Anything that has happened before can be traced back to where it happened if you look carefully." Watanabe Toru said casually, "Come on, I'll take you to see someone."

"Is it your companion?"

"Ah."

The residence of Akemi Miyano.

Because I had contacted Akemi Miyano in advance, she was at home right now.

"Let me introduce her to you." Watanabe Toru pointed at Asano Minoru, "This is Ms. Asano Minoru, a doctor."

Then he pointed at Miyano Akemi and said, "This is Yuko Kujo, and the one next to her is Maya Tachibana, Yuko Kujo's personal bodyguard."

The three women greeted each other.

Miyano Akemi smiled and said, "Do we not have to go to the hospital for medical treatment in the future?"

"That requires a clinic first," Watanabe Toru said unhappily. He pulled out a pre-prepared bank card from his pocket and handed it to Masashi. "There's 50 million on this card. It's your start-up capital. You can make all the decisions on your own. You don't need to report to me. If you're short on money, just contact me."

"Okay." Masashi pursed his lips and accepted the bank card without hesitation: "I will get back on track as soon as possible."

"Then trouble you."

Watanabe Toru looked at the time. There were still ten minutes before the antidote took effect. He had to leave here as soon as possible.

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." Watanabe Toru looked at Miyano Akemi and said, "I'll leave Chengshi to you to take care of him."

"No problem." Miyano Akemi probably guessed that Watanabe Toru's body was about to change again, and nodded.

Watanabe Toru looked at Masamichi again and said, "I'm afraid I can't have a drink today. I'm so sorry. I should have welcomed you."

"It doesn't matter." Masashi chuckled, "There are still many opportunities, aren't there?"

Watanabe Tetsuya laughed 690: "That's right, there are still many opportunities, then I'll take my leave first."

"I'll take you there, Ah Ju. Please help Miss Cheng Shi move the luggage to the room."

"it is good."

Miyano Akemi walked Watanabe Toru to the door, and the two stood there in tacit understanding.

"How much does Miss Chengshi know about us?" asked Miyano Akemi.

"Besides knowing that I can disguise myself, she knows nothing else. There's no need to let her know for now. Let her open the clinic first." Watanabe Toru replied: "By the way, how is Tachibana Maya? Has she been acting unusually lately?"

Miyano Akemi shook her head. "She's very nice. Although she's not very talkative, at least I don't see any hostility in her eyes. Also, I've already reported the contact to the group. The research department will be reshuffled, and I might become the first person in charge."

"This is a blessing in disguise." Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. Call me if you need anything. I don't have much time."

Miyano Akemi smiled brightly: "Did you bring clothes this time?"

Watanabe Toru glared at him and said unhappily, "I brought it."

After that, he left in a hurry.

137. Seeking Death on the First Day of School

July 9, cloudy.

Summer vacation is officially over and today is the first day of school.

Maori family.

Xiaolan looked at the yawning Watanabe Toru and said with a smile: "It must be difficult to get up so early all of a sudden, right?"

Watanabe Toru nodded weakly.

"But I'll be able to see classmates I haven't seen for a long time at school, and I'll be very happy."

I'm not happy at all. There's a generation gap between me and those kids.

Watanabe Toru complained in his heart, but with a look of joy on his face: "Yes, yes."

"By the way, don't forget to bring your lunch box with you later."

"I understand, Sister Xiaolan."

Watanabe Toru responded while opening the system.

New January, system refresh.

Items: Exquisite Rose Seeds (5000), Mountain Bike (1), APTX-4869 One-Hour Antidote (1)

[Physical skill recovery 1%: 5 points]

Skills: Beginner - Calligraphy (100), Master - Camping (1000), Proficient - Photography (1), Master - Lock Picking (10)

What a terrible September.

Toru Watanabe exchanged three APTX-4869 one-hour antidote pills, then turned off the system in boredom.

……

Didan Primary School.

Students who hadn't seen each other for a summer gathered together, chatting with each other and expressing their excitement and anticipation for the new semester.

Yuantai lay on the table, sighing, looking depressed: "The holiday passed by so quickly, it feels like only half of it is over..."

Mitsuhiko encouraged, "Genta, cheer up. A few days ago, I came up with a good idea to promote our Junior Detective Team."

"Mitsuhiko, what's a good idea?" Ayumi blinked, curious.

Mitsuhiko said mysteriously, "Doesn't the school have a radio room? As long as we use the radio to promote it, all the students in the school will know about our Junior Detective Team."

Genta and Ayumi's eyes lit up.

Watanabe Toru's heart sank. Could it be that these guys were really planning to take over the broadcasting room?

"Then during lunch break, let's go to the broadcasting room." Genta couldn't wait any longer. "Then our Junior Detective Team will surely receive many commissions. We'll become celebrities throughout Tokyo."

Mitsuhiko also started to drift away, imagining the future after becoming famous: "Maybe a TV station will come to interview us."

Toru Watanabe decided to find an excuse to slip away during lunch break. He couldn't afford to lose face.

As the bell rang, the students returned to their seats.

A few minutes later, Kobayashi Sumiko walked in, stood on the podium, looked around the classroom, and said with a gentle smile, "Everyone has gotten a lot tanned. Did you have fun this summer vacation?"

"Teacher, I went to Hokkaido to play."

"I went to my grandmother's house in the countryside."

“Mom and Dad took me to Hawaii, it was so beautiful there.”

“I went to learn the violin…”

"..."

Kobayashi Sumiko's words were like the wind blowing into the woods, and the leaves immediately made all kinds of sounds.

After waiting for a while, she signaled everyone to be quiet.

"It seems like everyone had a very fulfilling holiday. I'm happy for you all. However, since the new semester has begun, everyone must work hard and focus on their studies."

"Yes——" Everyone's emotions have not yet recovered from the holiday.

"Also, this month is the Cultural Festival, and I'd like to ask for everyone's opinion on what kind of performance we should have."

"How was the play?"

"Let's sing..."

“I think cosplay is pretty cool too.”

"..."

The students below were discussing the matter, each with their own opinions.

"Everyone!" Kobayashi Sumiko smiled and clapped her hands twice, quieting the classroom again. "Since everyone can't make a decision right now, let's put this matter aside for now. Let's discuss it together in the class meeting. Now, let's start class."

Watanabe Toru supported his face with his left hand, turned a mechanical pencil in his right hand, and lazily turned his eyes to the blue sky outside the window.

Hot wind blew in through the open window, and a corner of the textbook wanted to somersault.

……

During lunch break, Watanabe Toru finished his lunch box, made an excuse that he had a stomachache and needed to go to the bathroom, and left the classroom.

He was also afraid that those stupid guys would come to the toilet to find him and invite him to go to the radio room to promote the Young Detectives, so he simply went straight to the playground and lay down under the shade of a tree.

The sky is blue and clear, and the leaves are sparkling under the direct sunlight.

Just as Watanabe Toru was feeling sleepy and was about to take a nap, the campus broadcast woke him up instantly.

Good afternoon, everyone. Sorry to bother you during your meal.

Watanabe Toru widened his eyes. Did those guys really go?

We are the Junior Detective Team. If you encounter any difficult situations, please come to Class B, Grade 1 to find us.
