Chapter 365: Encirclement
"Hehe, that's it. Come, Miss Tifa, and try this bowl of soup, my daughter's cooking skills are definitely not inferior to the chef of the hotel. Maori smiled awkwardly, then moved the bowl of soup that Xiaolan had placed in front of him to Tifa, and said very respectfully.
Just now, with a casual wave of his hand, his whole body was stiffly suspended in mid-air, and there was no place to move except for consciousness, this wonderful and terrifying feeling made Maori believe in Tifa's words at the same time, but also couldn't help but have a deep admiration for Tifa. Originally, Maori still had some crooked thoughts about Tifa in his heart, but after what happened just now, all that was left in Maori's heart was respect, and of course, there was a little fear, which was the instinctive fear of the unknown and powerful forces, just like animals were afraid of lightning.
Seeing that Maori actually put a bowl of soup she had carefully prepared for him in front of Tifa, Xiaolan's face couldn't help but collapse, and she was almost about to have a seizure. But Maori's respectful tone made Xiaolan stop her next move, because she couldn't hear any lust (squint) tone from her father's tone, which was too strange, if it weren't for Maori's appearance, voice and habitual movements were no different from usual, Xiaolan still thought that the person in front of her was pretending to be who, she really couldn't believe that there would be a cat in this world that was not (stealing) fishy? Bah! What are you thinking!?
The meal was spent in Maori's incessant flattery, Ran was confused, and Conan and Tifa were silent. Tifa is silent because Tifa is too lazy to talk nonsense, and she has nothing to say, so she can't say "good drinking" to Maori, right? Conan, on the other hand, is thinking about his future life. With the previous conversation. Conan only needs to seriously solve the case in the future. Then it is enough to give the credit to Maori, and while Maori takes the credit, he also provides Conan with the cover of his identity, and acts as a bridge between Conan and the police, and both sides take what they need. The only thing that puzzled Conan was why Tifa had to hide it from Xiaolan. In fact, Tifa doesn't know why he wants Conan to hide Xiaolan, but Tifa is very sure that he actually has a good impression of Xiaolan. And it's also a good feeling in love.,Maybe that's the reason for this weirdness.。
"When you're full, it's time to get to work." Pouring the last mouthful of soup, Maori stretched a big lazy waist and said, and rubbed Conan's brain fiercely, how can this kid become more pleasing to the eye the more he looks? Xiaolan really has a vision, and she is really his daughter.
With Maori's words, Tifa and Conan both stood up, in fact, the two of them had already eaten. Tifa only drank a bowl of soup and knew that Tifa was non-human. It must be different in many ways, so Mori and Conan are not surprised by this. Xiaolan felt it, but she didn't say anything, she thought that Tifa was losing weight, it is normal for women to lose weight, not to mention Tifa, and Conan is a child, the amount of food is not large, plus in the process of coming back, he ate a lot of chocolate, and he is not hungry now. Compared to the two, Maori was hungry all day, and if it weren't for Tifa's opinion, he would not only have gobbled up when he ate, but he would have eaten with his bowls and chopsticks.
"When we got to the kidnappers' quarters, we called the police, waited until the chairman and Officer Twilight came, and then we went to rescue the hostages and arrest the kidnappers. Everything pays attention to the balance of interests, and the credit for this matter must be given to the police to some extent, especially when they have not been able to solve the case for a long time, and only by making good friends with the police can it be convenient to handle the case in the future. Unlike Maori, who looked like he was going to personally arrest the gangsters, Conan was still relatively calm at this time. If a detective wants to be mixed, in addition to the hard power of reasoning ability, he must also have a perfect source of intelligence, and the best source of intelligence is the police, after all, they deal with criminals every day, and only by having a good relationship with the police can they get some internal information, this truth he understood when he first became a detective, in fact, Maori also understands this, after all, he is also a detective, but his love is too excited, and he didn't think of this for a while.
"Of course, of course, I'm not stupid, let's go." Maori rubbed Conan's brain again and said appreciatively.
"Dad, rescue the hostages and arrest the gangsters, you just go with the police, why do you have to take Conan with you? Conan is still a child and needs plenty of sleep. Seeing that Maori and Conan were changing their shoes, Xiaolan hurriedly wanted to stop them.
What Xiaolan is really worried about is that there was a sudden accident when rescuing the hostages and arresting the criminals, Conan saw some bad scenes, such as the hostages had long since turned into corpses full of scars, or the gangsters resisted and caused bloodshed, etc., Conan is a six or seven-year-old child, and it is not the time to touch these things, after all, not everyone can start touching corpses at a few years old like Shinichi, and they can also touch the corpse without changing their face. In addition, Conan's current age is the time to grow his body, and if he doesn't sleep well, it will affect his growth and development, and Xiaolan doesn't want Conan, who is like a kid like Shinichi after an hour, to grow into a three-inch ding.
"Don't worry, Xiaolan, with my detective Maori Kogoro here, the gangsters will definitely not have the slightest defense, we will come back later, if you are sleepy, go to bed early." Maori made a look of looking up to the sky and laughing, and said that he was directly carrying Conan's collar, and had already run downstairs before Xiaolan could react, Maori was already a little impatient to see Officer Twilight's stunned appearance, if he could also fly like Tifa, he was afraid to fly directly to the gangster's house immediately.
"Daddy Real ...... But since Dad has discussed it with Shinichi, there won't be any problems, and then again, where has Shinichi been these days. Seeing Maori carrying Conan and disappearing around the corner, Xiaolan said to herself, she is still very confident in the new Xiaolan, and there will be no accidents if she is there, Xiaolan began to hum a song while happily cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. Shinichi suddenly disappeared the night before yesterday, and Shinichi didn't come to school in the past two days, which made Xiaolan very worried, since Maori was talking to Shinichi on the phone just now, it means that Shinichi shouldn't have any problems now, and it is estimated that he is busy investigating the case, Xiaolan's heart that has been carrying it can't help but let go, and it has become her usual relaxed and active appearance again.
Gangster's house. The Maori trio had been here for half an hour, and the gangster's home was surrounded by police and special attack teams. When he first came here, Maori wanted to rush in without thinking about it, but he was stopped by Conan, and now he rushed in, and the police could only do the cleaning work, which was not conducive to getting a good relationship with the police, and even directly offended the police to death, besides, without the presence of many police, it could not fully reflect Maori's detective ability, and it was not conducive to the growth of Maori's fame.
"Brother Maori, are you really sure that the gangsters are inside? If you're wrong again, as you did before, you'll have a lot of fun. Hiding around the corner, looking at the silent mansion in the shadows ahead, Officer Twilight hesitated.
If Maori only said that he knew who the murderer was, Officer Twilight, who had been cheated by Maori many times, would not pay attention to it at all, because according to his rich experience in being pitted, Maori said that the murderer was wrong every time, and the murderer Maori said every time was definitely not the murderer, and if he believed his words, the only result would be to be surrounded by him, but now Maori is right, he has found the residence of the gangster, and even the gangster and the hostages are inside, which can't help but Officer Twilight doesn't believe it, because he will say such things, It shows that Maori has very definite evidence, and even sees the hostages.
Although it was confirmed, when it was time to actually start the operation, Officer Twilight still hesitated, after all, the shadow left by Maori was too deep for him. These policemen who surrounded the house were having dinner with their families when they were summoned, and they didn't complain about the credit for catching the gangsters and the thank you gift promised by the chairman, in case Maori made a mistake this time, the anger in the hearts of these policemen would not be as easy to eliminate, Maori could pat PP and leave, anyway, Maori was not a policeman for a long time, and he, the chief, had nowhere to hide.
"That's right, I saw with my own eyes, the gangsters and hostages are inside, and the hostages are exactly the same as the little girl in the photo provided by the chairman." Maori took out a photo of Gu Jingzi and said nonsense, anyway, he didn't think Tifa would trap him.
"And how is my daughter doing now!? Are there any injuries!? Hearing Maori say that he saw the hostage, the chairman hurriedly grabbed Maori's collar and asked, in the past two days, because he was worried about his daughter's safety, he was extremely anxious, not to mention taking care of the company, he only ate one meal, and he just ate, this is because he didn't want his daughter to see him look depressed after being rescued.
In the past two days, there have been several ups and downs in spirit, and the tortured chairman can be said to be completely disappointed with the police. The Maori detective figured out the case the night before yesterday, and made a breakthrough the next day, but when he was about to solve the case, he was forcibly driven away by the police, and after the lack of Maori detectives, the police did not make the slightest progress in the following day and a half, and it is conceivable what the chairman will think. The chairman, who had run out of patience, was going to go to the Maori detective in person tonight, but at this time, the Maori detective suddenly called, saying that he had found the hostages and kidnappers, which made the chairman not overjoyed? At the same time, the chairman was even more disappointed with the police, a bunch of rice buckets, and they were extra-large. (To be continued......)
