Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

【Our acceptance time is within half an hour after school】

[The above is the strongest detective Kojima Genta]

【The most handsome detective Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya】

【The clever detective Ayumi Yoshida】

【Edogawa Conan】

【Looking forward to your support】

It can be heard that Conan's voice is helpless, and it is obvious that he was forced to go there.

But, isn't there any teacher to take care of it?

Just as I was thinking this, a stern voice came from the radio.

[What are you guys doing? Get out now]

Then there was a sound of fleeing in panic.

……

Back in the classroom, Genta and the others had already returned. Seeing Watanabe Toru, Genta said with some dissatisfaction, "Toru, where have you been? I went to the bathroom to look for you but couldn't find you."

These guys really went to the bathroom to find me?

Watanabe Toru muttered to himself, saying the excuse he had just thought of: "I ran into my home studies teacher when I came out of the bathroom. She had a lot of things in her hands, so I went to help her. However, I heard what you said on the radio."

Yuan Tai looked very proud: "Now everyone in the school knows about our Junior Detective Team. After school, many people will come to us to ask for things."

"Although I was scolded by the Dean of Academic Affairs, it was worth it." Guangyan was in high spirits, without any of the frustration and sadness that Wang Nuo should have felt after being scolded.

Wow, you guys have a really good attitude.

Watanabe Toru glanced at the silent Conan, rolled his eyes, and said, "However, I think when you introduced yourselves, Conan's momentum was obviously lacking. Will this make others think that our strength is not strong?"

Ok?

Genta and the other two were stunned and their eyes fell on Conan.

Conan's eyes twitched. He had finally managed to put himself through a farce with these guys, and now they still refused to let him go?

He quickly defended himself: "I was introducing myself very seriously..."

Mitsuhiko ignored him and stroked his chin: "Now that I think about it, Conan's self-introduction just now was indeed not impressive enough."

"I think so too." Ayumi nodded: "It seems that he is very reluctant."

Genta glared at Conan: "Hey, Conan, don't you want to promote with us?"

Conan: "..."

Watanabe Toru almost laughed out loud.

138. Sister Xiaolan, let me rub your back

Finally, it was time to go home from school.

Watanabe Toru packed his bag and was about to run away when Genta grabbed him and said in a deep voice, "Toru, why are you leaving? We still have to wait for the client here."

Failed to escape...

Watanabe Toru had no choice but to sit down again reluctantly.

Ten minutes later, only Watanabe Toru and five others were left in the classroom.

Ayumi said a little anxiously: "Why hasn't anyone come to see us yet?"

"Don't rush, Ayumi." Mitsuhiko consoled him, "School just got out. It'll take a while for everyone to get here."

Twenty minutes later, Yuantai could no longer sit still and asked Guangyan, "Guangyan, did we say the acceptance location is in Class B, Grade 1?"

Mitsuhiko thought about it seriously and nodded.

"Then why didn't anyone come?"

"Maybe... there's someone who needs help. Maybe it's someone on duty today. Let's wait a while, maybe someone will come."

Thirty minutes later, with the exception of Toru Watanabe and Conan, Ayumi and the other two looked dejected. They had finally announced the existence of the Junior Detectives to the entire school via the school radio, expecting a welcome response from the students, but in reality, no one showed any interest.

It is true that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Okay, don't look so depressed." Watanabe Toru comforted his friends: "We haven't received any commissions, which means that no one is in trouble. This is a good thing. Besides, we have already spread the name of the Junior Detective Team. If anyone encounters trouble in the future, the first thing they will think of will definitely be asking the Junior Detective Team for help."

Watanabe Toru's words had a great comforting effect.

The three of them cheered up again.

Mitsuhiko said, "Xiaotetsu is right. We are too impatient. Even for the best detectives, it's impossible to receive commissions every day. We still have a long time to go. We just have to persevere."

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "That's right, let's go back..."

……

When I returned to the office, Xiaolan had not come back yet, and I didn't know where Kogoro Mouri had gone.

Toru Watanabe put down his schoolbag and was about to pour himself a cup of oolong tea when the door opened and Xiaolan and Kogoro Mouri walked in.

"Really, Dad, why can't you take us to your class reunion?"

"You also said that it was my class reunion, why are you going there?"

"But you took me there five years ago."

"Didn't I tell you that the office can't be empty? What if there happens to be a case?"

"If there really is a case, we can't handle it if you're out."

"This... at least we can explain the situation to the client first, right?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Watanabe Toru poured some oolong tea and came over, asking curiously, "Uncle, Sister Xiaolan, where are you going?"

"Dad is going to attend his class reunion this weekend." Xiaolan said, "It just so happens that there are hot springs there. Hey, Xiaoche, you want to go too, right?"

Hot springs?

Hearing these three words, Watanabe Toru nodded almost subconsciously: "Yeah."

However, Maori Kogoro obviously didn't want to take them with him, so he offered a big meal as an inducement: "How about this, I can treat you to a good meal as compensation, how about that?"

Xiaolan refused without a second thought: "We don't want to have a fancy meal, just take us to the hot springs."

Maori Kogoro suddenly became anxious: "Stop joking. Domestic travel is more expensive than international travel these days. Now I have to pay for three people. Have you thought about me?"

Xiaolan looked at him strangely: "Isn't this the most important reason?"

"Uh……"

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Kogoro Mouri quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

"I'm going anyway." Xiaolan frowned and said, "And Auntie Horikoshi also said that I'm very welcome to go (bhcj)."

"Auntie Horikoshi?" Toru Watanabe looked confused.

"Auntie Horikoshi is Dad's classmate." Xiaolan explained, "We met on the road. Oh, and when Dad and I were coming back, we ran into robbers robbing a jewelry store. They were holding guns. The situation was really critical..."

When Xiaolan said this, she looked frightened.

Maori Kogoro snorted coldly: "In the end, the robber was subdued by me."

Homecoming, robbery, gun.

Watanabe Toru grasped a few key words and was stunned.

It can't be that case...

……

At the weekend, Xiaolan and Toru Watanabe followed Kogoro Mouri to attend his class reunion.

A hot spring hotel in Tochigi Prefecture.

This small hotel has complete facilities and is only occupied by members of the former Beika University Judo Club, so it is very quiet.

In the room, Xiaolan changed into a yukata, and her temperament softened instantly. She smiled and said, "Xiao Che, there is an open-air hot spring here. Do you want to go with us?"

This is why I came here.

Watanabe Toru nodded without hesitation: "Okay, okay."

"Then let's go. After we finish taking a bath, we'll go find Dad and the others."

……

The open-air hot spring water is the turbid white color unique to natural hot springs, which is obviously different from ordinary clear hot water and can be distinguished at a glance.

It is surrounded by high bamboo fences to protect the privacy of guests.

In the hot spring, Toru Watanabe and Xiaolan immersed their whole bodies and leaned comfortably on the natural rocks.

Strictly speaking, the open-air hot spring here is a women's bath, but there are only them in the entire hotel, and the others are drinking and chatting in the lounge and will never come here, so it is not a big problem for Xiaolan to bring Watanabe Toru with her.

The two of them looked at the distant mountains together. Xiaolan scooped up the hot spring water with one hand, poured it on her collarbone, and then looked at Watanabe Toru.

"Xiao Che, do you want your sister to rub your back?"

Watanabe Toru's eyes lit up with joy: "Is it okay, Xiaolan?"

"Of course." Xiaolan said with a smile: "Let's go upstairs."

"Good~"

The two stood up from the water, and water droplets slid off their bodies.

Watanabe Toru felt a little dazzled.

There were towels and shower gel for scrubbing the back by the pool. Watanabe Toru sat on a small stool with his back to Xiaolan, and then a soft hand gently stroked his back.

The two of them were so close that Toru Watanabe could even feel a different touch.

Being close yet distant allows your mind to wander.

After washing off the foam on her body with clean water, Xiaolan said with a smile, "It's done."

Watanabe Toru turned around, suppressing the urge to swallow his saliva, and looked at Xiaolan innocently. Suddenly, he threw himself into her arms and said, "Thank you, Xiaolan. Xiaolan, let me rub your back too."

139. Unrivaled in the World

After taking a bath, Xiaolan and Watanabe Toru went to the lounge to find Maori Kogoro.

The atmosphere in the lounge was very lively at this time.

Maori Kogoro leaned back in his chair, looking emotional: "Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for several years."

Nakamichi Kazushi, a burly man with a shaved head, smiled and said, "Yes, it's been five years since we last met. It's really rare for us graduates of the same Beihua University Judo Club to meet each other."

"Thinking back on the hard training back then, I really miss it." - Kogoro Mori recalled.

Ayashiro Yukio on the side bluntly exposed Maori Kogoro's past: "How dare you say that, Maori? You rarely come to practice yourself."

"That's right." Noriko Ayashiro, the bespectacled wife of Yukio Ayashiro, echoed her husband, "You always said geniuses don't need practice. But when we went up against a rival school, you were the only one who didn't win."

At this point, everyone burst into laughter.

"I knew it……"

A low but very familiar voice sounded behind Kogoro Mouri's head when he was about to make an explanation, and Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but shiver.

The next second, Xiaolan squatted down and looked at her father teasingly: "Dad, you always said, 'When I was in college, I was invincible!' It turns out that you were lying to me."

Kogoro Mouri felt so guilty that he didn't know where to look.

But when the others saw Xiaolan, they were all surprised and said, "Wow, it's Xiaolan, long time no see!"

"She's getting more and more beautiful."

"It's about time I found a boyfriend."

After being praised by everyone, Xiaolan scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "It's okay..."

"I say, where have you two been? Why are you here only now?"

After easing the embarrassment, Kogoro Mouri asked Xiaolan with a stern face.
