Chapter 831 Poor Little Xili

Hey hey hey, is that that exaggerated?

Mao Lilan was stunned and couldn't believe it.

There were three people at the Mori Detective Agency just now. Even if Dad was unreliable, Mr. Asano and Conan should be able to hear the ringtone. How come no one answered the client's call?

Mao Lilan complained bitterly in her heart, but on the surface she sincerely apologized to Mari Kijima.

Mari Kijima held the shelf and reluctantly sat in the center of the sofa.

Many mothers will put their children in strollers or baby car seats when they go out. Without these things, normal mothers will always hold their children.

But Mari Kijima was different.

After she sat down, Mao Lilan immediately served tea, but she actually put the child aside and picked up the tea cup and tray with both hands, as elegantly as if she was enjoying afternoon tea in a high-end restaurant.

"That..." Mao Lilan looked at the little baby worriedly and hesitated to speak.

"I heard that Mouri Kogoro is the best detective in Japan." Kijima Mari lazily looked up at Moori Kogoro.

"Everywhere, they are all false names." Although Mouri Kogoro said modest words, he had a big smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, Kijima Mari nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I think so."

The corners of Maori Kogoro's mouth twitched slightly: "..."

This woman is so annoying. How could there be such an annoying woman in the world?

"Ms. Kijima." The stricken uncle was already damaged, so Nobushige asked on his behalf, "Do you have any entrustments that you would like us to help handle?"

"Of course I have it. Otherwise, why would I come all the way to this little crappy place like yours?" Mari Kijima curled her lips in disdain, "Here, this is my daughter Yuri, take a look."

While talking, Kijima Mari reached out and opened the baby's sleeves and pants, exposing the delicate skin.

The moment they saw the child's skin, everyone's heart sank, including Nobuhiro's.

Because there were almost no intact parts of Xiao Xili's body, and deep and shallow scars were all over her limbs. It was at this time that Nobuhiro noticed that Yuli's lip was also broken, and he didn't know what was going on inside the mouth.

"Ah -" Conan suddenly shouted and turned around quickly, "Brother Yingyou, why did you hit me again?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I apologized awkwardly, "I was so excited just now that I accidentally waved my hand down."

Conan pursed his lips in depression. He felt that he was more unlucky when Yingyou was around, and there was almost no time when he was not affected.

Mao Lilan looked at the little baby, so overwhelmed with sympathy that she didn't even bother to care about whether Conan had been hurt. She couldn't help but pick up Mari Kijima's daughter and said sadly: "She is still so young, how could anyone have the heart to do something to a baby??"

Conan had no choice but to rub his swollen head.

Hey, people, you only know how to cherish when you lose it.

But being jealous of a baby that was still suckling, especially that baby was really pitiful, and Conan suddenly felt that he was despicable.

He shook his head quickly and focused on the client and the client's child again, but this time he looked at Mari Kijima with a much more serious look.

Most cases of child abuse are caused by parents. There was an example of a mother pouring hot oil into the child's throat because she suspected that her child had eaten a piece of meat, causing extensive burns and eventual death of the child.

This Kijima Mari looks very unreliable, and Conan thinks she has a tendency to abuse children. It's just...no parent who abuses their children would surrender to a detective, right?

Mouri Kogoro didn't think too much. He opened his mouth slightly to express doubt: "Ms. Kijima, couldn't you have done this?"

Mari Kijima's expression suddenly changed. She stood up angrily, pointed at Kogoro Mori and shouted: "Please, I'm her biological mother. How could I abuse her?!"

"Please calm down, my father speaks freely, but he also cares about Xi Li." Mao Lilan had no choice but to smooth things over.

Only then did Kijima Mari give up. She glared at him, folded her hands on her chest, and complained angrily, "This is why I came to you. My nanny Araki Keiko has abused my daughter for a long time, and she still refuses to die." admit.

"I hope you can find evidence that Araki Keiko abused children!" Mari Kijima said the last words seriously.

Seeing her firm eyes, Mouri Kogoro could only swallow his doubts no matter how much he had.

For a mother, the most unacceptable thing for her is probably to be questioned by others about being bad for her children - although Mari Kijima is indeed not a very qualified mother.

There is a process for detectives to handle a commission, so Mouri Kogoro started a routine inquiry step by step: "Can you please tell me what exactly happened? Including the reason why you suspected Araki Keiko."

"Does this still need a reason?" Mari Kijima said impatiently with an expression of "Are you professional or not?" "I don't have a husband, and I have been busy with work for a long time. There have always been only two people at home, Yuri and Araki Keiko." When Li was injured, I would definitely be the first to suspect Araki Keiko."

"Is there surveillance at home?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"Will you install surveillance cameras at home?" Mari Kijima asked.

Mouri Kogoro immediately fell silent. But he was actually a little aggrieved because there was a person around him who installed surveillance cameras at home—Asano Nobushige. The last time he went to Asano's house to congratulate him on his move, he discovered that there were more cameras in Asano's house than in many public places, and there was almost no corner that couldn't be captured.

Maybe this is a rich person, with a fortune of hundreds of millions. Without the protection of a camera, I'm afraid I can't sleep peacefully in bed.

Pitiful.

Mouri Kogoro sympathized with him, and tears of "sympathy" flowed into his heart.

Hondo Eiyu tilted his head and analyzed: "Although Keiko Araki is indeed a very suspicious subject, after all, there is no conviction without evidence. But..."

"That's right! I came to the detective because there was no evidence!"

"But what?" Conan looked at him curiously.

Our hall Yingyou said innocently: "Don't you think Xiao Yuli needs to see a doctor?"

"!!!"

Conan, Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro looked at each other, feeling annoyed. And Nobushige helplessly held his forehead and sighed, really, there are so many adults among them, but not even a high school student can see clearly.

"It's better to do this." Hondo Eiyou suggested with a smile, "Ms. Kijima called Araki Keiko over. If she were in the hospital and faced with the doctor's diagnosis, she might get confused."

Mari Kijima clapped her hands happily: "This method is good, but how to get to the nearby hospital?"

Hondo Yingyou's smile widened a little: "If you want to say that the hospital is best at pediatrics, it must be the National Medical Research Center."
