Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Haibara reacted and followed Mamiya Masuyo with Watanabe Toru.

"When did you crack the code?" she asked curiously.

Watanabe Toru said nonchalantly, "Is this code difficult? I figured it out quickly after seeing the chessboard."

Huiyuan: "..."

Ahead, 'Mamiya 703 Masuyo' suddenly stopped and pushed hard against the wall. As the secret door opened, Watanabe Toru and Haibara quickened their pace, successfully exiting the secret passage before the door closed.

"This is the castle's anteroom."

Seeing the portraits hanging on the wall, Huibara said.

'Mamiya Masuyo' had already run towards the portrait of the old master according to Watanabe Toru's analysis. After rotating counterclockwise, she found a passage behind the portrait.

Her ugly face showed ecstasy. As she crawled towards the passage, she muttered to herself: "I have served this castle for twenty years. I am finally going to find my treasure. I will not give it to anyone, absolutely not..."

She crawled to the end of the passage and saw the closed door in front of her. Her whole body was shaking with excitement.

He slowly opened the door, ready to welcome the treasures everywhere, but found nothing outside.

"This...what's going on? Where's my treasure?" 'Mamiya Masuyo' looked around anxiously.

"Why don't you take a good look at the door and see if there's anything carved on it?"

Watanabe Toru's voice appeared behind her.

Mamiya Masashiro turned around and saw, as expected, a line of words on the door: "I wish to give this castle and this view to the first person who finds it... How... How could this be? Is this the treasure I'm looking for?"

Mamiya Masuro was stunned, muttering to herself in disbelief, "I can't believe it! I've killed so many people and made myself look so ugly. Could this be the treasure I've been waiting for?"

At this moment, Watanabe Toru could understand her feelings.

It’s like you finally found the treasure on the treasure map, but found that there was only a note in the treasure chest, which said: The beautiful scenery along your adventure is the best wealth in the world.

No one can accept this.

Although the old master left behind a castle, it was far from enough for Mamiya Masuyo, who paid a huge price.

……

Half an hour later, Dr. Agasa and others, who had been searching for Conan in the forest in vain, returned to the villa.

After learning the whole story, Mitsuru Mamiya immediately called the police, and then found Conan tied up by "Mamiya Masuyo" in the secret passage.

Originally thought that Conan was only slightly injured, but when Conan was carried out of the secret passage, Watanabe Toru was shocked.

His head was bleeding, his cheeks were bruised, and he couldn't even walk.

According to Mamiya Masuo, she initially only knocked Conan unconscious, but as she was leaving, he suddenly regained consciousness and attempted to attack her. So, she struck him again, breaking his leg to prevent him from escaping. Mamiya Masuo felt that Conan was destined to die, so she didn't care how ruthlessly she struck him.

Seeing Conan's miserable look, Watanabe Toru turned his head away. He was afraid that he would laugh out loud and would not be able to explain in the end.

……

Mihua General Hospital.

Ward corridor.

The doctor said to Dr. Agasa: "After our preliminary examination, the patient has a mild concussion in addition to a fracture and needs to be hospitalized."

Dr. Agasa's heart instantly rose: "Excuse me, doctor, can we go in and see the patient now?"

"Okay, but don't talk too much to the patient. He needs more rest."

"I understand, thank you doctor."

When I walked into the ward, I saw Conan with a bandage on his head and his right leg in a cast hanging high.

"Conan, are you okay? Does it hurt?" Ayumi asked as she stepped forward, her voice soft, her dark eyes filled with sympathy and concern.

Conan forced a smile: "I'm fine. By the way, I've solved the mystery of the treasure in the castle, that..."

"New... Conan." Dr. Agasa interrupted, "Xiaotuo has already solved the mystery. Don't worry about it. Just take care of your injuries."

Conan looked at Watanabe Toru in surprise: "Watanabe, have you solved the mystery?"

Watanabe Toru hummed, "The so-called treasure is just a castle and a beautiful view. Mamiya Masuyo spent so many years trying to get it, but in the end, it's all for nothing."

Conan opened his mouth. If it wasn't for the extremely low probability of him and Haibara turning into children, he would have begun to suspect whether Watanabe Toru had also taken aptx-4869 and turned into a child like them.

Otherwise, how can we explain how a little kid like him could crack such a difficult code?

Is it a genius?

"Okay, kids, let's let Conan have a good rest." Dr. Agasa remembered the doctor's advice and said to the children, "I will take good care of Conan in the hospital, you don't have to worry. By the way, I have contacted your parents, and they will come to the hospital to pick you up soon."

"Okay." Although Ayumi and the other two wanted to stay with Conan, they decided to say goodbye so that he could recover soon.

"Conan, then you should have a good rest. We will come to see you tomorrow."

"Okay." Conan responded absentmindedly.

After saying goodbye to Conan, they left the ward together.

Ayumi and the other two walked in front, while Haibara and Watanabe Toru lagged behind.

Suddenly, Ayumi turned around and said to Watanabe Toru, "Toru, can I have a word with Ai?"

159. Ayumi: Because I like Tohru

Watanabe Toru was slightly startled, glanced at Huiyuan, then nodded and took two steps forward, leaving space for Huiyuan and Ayumi.

Huiyuan didn't expect that Ayumi would suddenly have something to say to him alone. Seeing her hesitant to speak, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yoshida-san, what do you want to tell me?"

"that……"

Ayumi moved her lips and hesitated for a while. Finally, she mustered up the courage to look at Huibara and said timidly, "Ai, do you like Tohru?"

"Huh?" Huibara's face froze.

Is she only seven years old? Are all kids these days so precocious?

Seeing Huiyuan's silence, Ayumi thought she had agreed, and her face suddenly showed some anxiety. She said, "You, can you please stop liking Xiao Toru-ah?"

Huiyuan came back to her senses and saw Ayumi's serious expression. She couldn't help but want to laugh: "Why can't I like Watanabe-san?"

"Because..." Ayumi bit her lip. Under Huibara's half-smile, her eyes became firm: "Because I like Xiaoche. I want to marry Xiaoche and be his bride when I grow up."

Are you thinking that far ahead?

Huiyuan was stunned, laughing and shaking her head.

"Don't worry, I won't compete with you for Watanabe-san."

"Really?" Hearing Huibara's answer, Ayumi's dark eyes lit up, and her heart was relieved. Looking at Huibara, her eyes became much friendlier: "Thank you, Ai. By the way, you can't tell Xiaotuo about this."

Seeing Ayumi in a happy mood, jumping and skipping towards Genta and Mitsuhiko, Haibara sighed softly.

If [Watanabe Toru] disappears one day, I wonder what will happen to this silly girl.

"What did Ayumi say to you?"

Seeing that the two girls had finished their whisper, Toru Watanabe leaned over again and asked Huibara curiously.

Huibara rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Yoshida-kun told me to stay away from you."

Watanabe Toru was stunned: "Why?"

"I like you and think of me as a rival in love."

Watanabe Toru was at a loss for words: "Did this kid really say that to you?"

Huiyuan looked at him in surprise: "From the tone of your voice, it seems that you have known for a long time that Yoshida-san likes you?"

Watanabe nodded: "How could I not feel it? I just pretended not to know."

"But your identity as a child will disappear one day. Have you thought about what to do when that happens?"

Watanabe Toru shrugged: "Just find any excuse to go abroad."

Huiyuan snorted, "What a cold-hearted man."

Watanabe Toru remained noncommittal: "By the way, I'm planning to visit your sister. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course." Huiyuan said without hesitation: "Are you discussing buying that castle with your sister?"

"Well, after all, adults are still required to take action in such matters, but taking the antidote for such a thing is not worth it."

Huiyuan muttered quietly: "He just treats his sister as a tool."

……

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when I came back from Miyano Akemi.

Toru Watanabe returns to the Mori Detective Agency.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Xiaolan coming down the stairs in a hurry.

"Sister Xiaolan." Toru Watanabe shouted.

"Eh? Xiao Che?" Xiaolan stopped and looked at Watanabe Toru in surprise: "You're back?"

During this period, Watanabe Toru was first taken away by his aunt for a few days, and then went camping with Professor Agasa and others. This made Xiaolan, who had already gotten used to Watanabe Toru's presence, a little worried. Occasionally, she woke up in the middle of the night and saw that the bed on the other side was empty. She would be stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Toru was not at home these two days.

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "Yeah, I miss Sister Xiaolan. By the way, Sister Xiaolan, are you going out?"

"Well, Miss Kuriyama called and said that her mother suddenly fell ill. I want to go see her." Xiaolan showed a worried expression.

"Aunt Fei is sick?" Watanabe Toru was stunned: "Then I will go with Sister Xiaolan."

"But Xiao Che just came back, doesn't he need to rest for a while?"

"It's okay." Watanabe Toru shook his head: "I'm not tired, and I'm also worried about Aunt Fei."

"This...that's okay..."

In the taxi heading to Hime Eri's residence, Watanabe Toru noticed that someone was missing and asked curiously, "Sister Xiaolan, where is uncle? Why didn't uncle come with you?"

Mentioning Maori Kogoro, Xiaolan was indignant: "Dad went out in the afternoon, saying that he had an appointment with a friend. I just called him, but no one answered."

· ········Request flowers·· ·········

The uncle was probably drunk in some izakaya, or he was so engrossed in playing pinball that he didn't even hear the phone ringing.

Watanabe Toru thought so, but when he comforted Xiaolan, he said: "Maybe uncle turned his phone to silent mode to avoid being disturbed when talking to others."

Although Watanabe Toru spoke for Maori Kogoro, Xiaolan was still very dissatisfied and said, "It was because Dad was always unreliable that Mom left Dad."

Watanabe Toru: “…”

He really wanted to remind her, Sister Xiaolan, could you please speak a little more quietly? Didn’t you see that the driver’s ears were pricked up so high?

.... 0 ...

Fifteen minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of a residential building.

Xiaolan paid the fare and got out of the car with Watanabe Toru, looking at the driver who regretted not having listened to the gossip to the end.

The building has seven floors.

Xiaolan rang the doorbell, and after a while, the door opened and Hime Eri's secretary, Midori Kuriyama, poked her head out.

"Xiaolan, you are here."

She moved aside to let Xiaolan and Watanabe Toru enter the house.

"Ms. Kuriyama, how is my mother?" Xiaolan asked about her mother's condition as soon as she opened her mouth.

"I have a slight fever. I just took some antipyretics and I'm asleep now."

"Thank you, Miss Kuriyama." Xiaolan said gratefully, "Thank you for taking care of my mother."

Kuriyama Midori waved her hand: "It's just a small matter, but Xiaolan, you have to persuade Lawyer Fei. You can't let her work so hard. This time, Lawyer Fei fell ill because she was too overworked and had an irregular work and rest schedule."

"I understand. I will persuade my mother."

"Then I'll take my leave first. I still have some things to deal with at the office. If there's anything, Xiaolan, please call me."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Ms. Kuriyama."

After seeing off Midori Kuriyama, Toru Watanabe and Ran came to Eri Kisaki's room.

Seeing her mother sleeping soundly, Xiaolan lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Che, I'm going to make some porridge for mom. Can you watch her for me?"

"Okay." Watanabe Toru nodded.
