My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"I think after you've paid the compensation, you could consider discontinuing the roller coaster service; it might become a new selling point for your amusement park."

Chapter 173 Shinichi Kudo disappoints Mori

The staff came to Takayanagi Ichiro and the others to offer them compensation.

However, to everyone's surprise, Takayanagi Ichiro and his two companions refused the amusement park's compensation offer and even provided them with a seemingly good idea.

"Sir, what's wrong with you...?"

"What I just said is quite obvious. It's because I had a different feeling on the roller coaster that I brought up this idea for you."

"Whether or not to adopt this is your supervisor's decision. We don't need your compensation right now; you should go do other work."

Ichiro Takayanagi once again mentioned his enjoyment on the roller coaster, causing Ran Mouri's face to turn red instantly. She then took the initiative to pull Kaoru Takayanagi away from there.

He was worried that if Takayanagi Ichiro continued talking, he might reveal more things, and she wouldn't be able to stand it.

"Sir, thank you very much for your suggestion. I will report it truthfully."

Please leave some information so we can reward you if there is any compensation offered.

Those who work here are all quick-witted people, and knowing that Takayanagi Ichiro's suggestion is likely to attract the attention of those above.

However, he did not covet this credit and wanted to share some with Takayanagi Ichiro.

Unfortunately, Ichiro Takayanagi didn't care about such merit or monetary reward at all, and simply waved him off.

"Just consider this a suggestion from a guest, so stop bothering me."

Seeing that Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi had already gone quite far, Ichiro Takayanagi immediately broke free from the staff member and chased after the two girls.

By this time, the other staff members had almost finished arranging for the passengers ahead. Approaching their colleague, they asked, puzzled:

"What's wrong? Could it be that those three customers don't agree with our compensation offer and want to call some law enforcement officers over?"

"That's not true. He doesn't need our compensation. Instead, he gave me a good suggestion."

You continue working here, and I'll submit this agreement for approval. Then it will be a joint achievement.

Now that a problem has arisen, it must be resolved.

Moreover, Ichiro Takayanagi's suggestion could turn the crisis into an opportunity, so this matter definitely needs to be reported as soon as possible.

His answer surprised his companions for a moment, but he nodded, since they had a fairly good relationship.

...............

Takayanagi Ichiro had caught up with Takayanagi Kaoru and Mouri Ran, not because they wanted to wait for him, but because they ran into someone they knew.

"Inspector Megure, this is Brother Takayanagi."

Ran Mouri introduced a fat police officer to Ichiro Takayanagi, and then revealed the fat police officer's identity: he was Kogoro Mouri's good friend.

"Hello, Mr. Takayanagi."

"Hello, Officer Megure."

Ichiro Takayanagi simply greeted Inspector Megure and showed no intention of delving deeper, then turned to Ran Mouri and asked:

"Xiaolan, what exactly happened?"

"It seems that something happened to the four people who were queuing at the roller coaster. The drunk man died, and Kudo-kun is helping to investigate the case."

Ran Mouri answered Kaoru Takayanagi's question honestly, which surprised Inspector Megure, who was standing nearby, because Ran Mouri's way of addressing Shinichi Kudo was a bit strange.

In the past, whether in private or in public, Ran Mouri always referred to Shinichi Kudo as Shinichi.

Now it's called Kudo-kun, and the difference in the intimacy between these two forms of address is immediately apparent.

Furthermore, it's quite strange that Ran Mouri is with a handsome guy like Ichiro Takayanagi in this amusement park, instead of the detective Shinichi Kudo.

"Mr. Takayanagi, I heard from Kudo that you seemed to have some kind of conflict with the deceased. I wonder if you could cooperate with us in the investigation?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri's expression changed immediately, and she set her sights on Shinichi Kudo, who was still investigating the case over there.

"Inspector Megure was just a drunk man trying to cause trouble."

If that's really the case, then I was the one who attacked him first, and I should cooperate with your police investigation.

Ran Mouri didn't expect that Shinichi Kudo would bring up some past conflicts in order to solve the case.

Even if he had said it out loud, without his pointed suspicion, Inspector Megure certainly wouldn't have bothered Takayanagi Ichiro.

Ran Mouri's protective attitude surprised Inspector Megure, and he was also thinking to himself, "Shinichi Kudo didn't seem to have mentioned that Ran Mouri had any conflicts with the deceased."

Just then, Shinichi Kudo finished his on-site investigation and came to Inspector Megure's side.

"Brother Kudo, you said before that Mr. Takayanagi had a conflict with the deceased. Is there something you didn't say?"

Originally, he wanted to come and report the culprit's situation to Inspector Megure, but after hearing Inspector Megure's words and feeling Ran Mouri's gaze, he changed his mind.

Shinichi Kudo only then realized that Juichi Megure had done something wrong because of his advice.

“Inspector Megure, I was just mentioning it casually; I didn’t mean to imply that Ichiro Takayanagi was a suspect.”

Because he only mentioned Ichiro Takayanagi and not Ran Mouri, it's a bit like he's protecting her.

"Shinichi, you have disappointed me greatly."

Ran Mouri never expected that Shinichi Kudo would be this kind of person.

If she hadn't been there, Shinichi Kudo might have said that Ichiro Takayanagi was a suspect, since Ichiro Takayanagi had a conflict with the deceased.

Kaoru Takayanagi also looked at Shinichi Kudo with hatred in his eyes. In Shinichi Kudo's opinion, Kaoru's reputation as a famous detective was just hype.

"Brother Kudo, what did you find?"

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out between Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo made Inspector Megure a little nervous.

He didn't want any conflict between the two, so he immediately asked about the case.

"Inspector Megure, I already know who the murderer is. You'll understand once you come with me."

Shinichi Kudo did not respond to Ran Mouri's meaning; he just wanted to resolve the current situation as soon as possible.

So Inspector Megure's attention immediately returned to the murder case, and he left Ran and the others.

"Big brother, this high school detective is a bit lacking."

After Inspector Megure and Shinichi Kudo left, Kaoru Takayanagi, looking displeased, told Ichiro Takayanagi his opinion of Shinichi Kudo.

In the past, she would have considered Ran Mouri's opinion.

However, Ran Mouri is basically on his side now and will stand by him, so she has no reservations about saying such things.

Ran Mouri, standing next to Ichiro Takayanagi, heard everything clearly, but she didn't try to defend Shinichi Kudo. She also thought that Shinichi Kudo had gone a bit too far this time.

Chapter 174 Brother Kudo, what can you learn from Brother Mori?

If Ichiro Takayanagi was nearby when the drunk man died, and there was some time between then and then, then of course there would be no problem.

However, Ichiro Takayanagi was clearly with them on the roller coaster at that time, and although he had previously fallen off a drunk man once.

However, the force wasn't too great, since the intoxicated man was able to get up and leave on his own afterward.

Shinichi Kudo just wanted to mention it on purpose so that the police could investigate Ichiro Takayanagi.

If he had revealed that Ran Mouri had thrown a basketball at a man, it would have shown that he had no ulterior motives, but unfortunately he didn't.

"Brother Gao Liu, let's go play some other games."

In the past, Ran Mouri would definitely have chosen to stay by Shinichi Kudo's side.

Even though no clues can be given, it's still a reminder to be careful: Shinichi Kudo shouldn't say anything carelessly.

However, now that she knows about Shinichi Kudo's ambiguous relationship with his father, Ran Mouri has completely lost hope in Shinichi Kudo.

Now, whatever she says, Shinichi Kudo probably won't take it to heart, so there's no need to waste time on it.

Although Ran Mouri is the daughter of a detective, she has no interest in the cases.

If no cases were to occur in this world, that would be what Ran Mouri would want to see.

They still have time to play, so there's no need for them to crowd around the case to watch Shinichi Kudo's reasoning.

It's better to use this time to enjoy other attractions in the amusement park.

Since it's a rare opportunity for her to come all this way, we naturally want to make sure Kaoru Takayanagi has a great time.

"Big brother, I think Sister Xiaolan is right. Let's go play some other games instead."

Kaoru Takayanagi had no interest in the case's reasoning and preferred to play at the amusement park, so she readily agreed to Ran Mouri's suggestion.

"Let's go."

Since the two girls beside him had said so, Takayanagi Ichiro wouldn't refuse their opinion and led the two girls away to continue their sightseeing.

"Brother Kudo, are you sure it's okay to let them leave like this?"

Inspector Megure's trust in Shinichi Kudo was immense, and seeing Takayanagi Ichiro and the other two leave, he felt a little uneasy.

"It has nothing to do with them."

Although the police couldn't openly investigate Ichiro Takayanagi, they at least managed to get some points from him on Inspector Megure's side.

"Why don't you arrest those three people? You know, two of them threw my boyfriend, and they might have killed him back then."

They are the murderers in this case; you should arrest them.

At this point, Da Bolang had already seen Takayanagi Ichiro and the others, but after seeing them leave so easily, she immediately started throwing a tantrum, claiming that the three of them were the real masterminds behind the scenes.

“We found a bloodstained dagger in your bag, so you are the prime suspect. Therefore, we generally don’t believe what you say.”

After Inspector Megure retorted with that remark, the woman with the big waves immediately fell silent. After all, she was currently the most dangerous criminal suspect.

"You were framed; the real killer this time is someone else."

After ruling out the woman with big waves as the murderer, Shinichi Kudo immediately pointed to a woman with long, straight black hair on the other side.

"what are you saying……"
