My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

After hearing this, Takayanagi Ichiro felt a little strange. What kind of thief could threaten the Suzuki Foundation?

"This thief is very famous in the police force, and they have given him the code name Phantom Thief Kid."

I stumbled upon this in a file and didn't reveal it to anyone else.

Ran Mouri then spoke up to explain that the files she could see were most likely those from when she was a child, the files that had been with Kogoro Mouri.

However, Ran Mouri had her own assurance: she had indeed seen such a file, but it had not caused any leaks, so there was nothing to worry about.

"and then?"

Before Ichiro Takayanagi could ask any further questions, Sonoko Suzuki immediately pressed her for details, surprised that her good friend knew something about Kaito Kid.

The other girls also looked at Ran Mouri with surprise, because she would never bring up such a topic in the past.

"I can't remember some of the specific details now, but Kidd disappeared for a long time, about ten years."

"With Kaito Kid making a reappearance this time, the police will definitely be on the move, so Sonoko, you don't need to worry too much."

Actually, what Ran Mouri saw wasn't classified information, so she knew relatively little about it.

Moreover, with the reappearance of a thief with a code name, the police will definitely hurry up and make arrangements to arrest Phantom Thief Kid as soon as possible.

"To be honest, our Suzuki Foundation has a certain cooperative relationship with the police, but I have doubts about the capabilities of some police officers."

If they truly possessed such capabilities, they would have captured Phantom Thief Kid more than a decade ago; they wouldn't have allowed him to roam freely for so long.

Sonoko Suzuki began to doubt the police's capabilities and then turned her attention to Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Brother Ichiro, I believe you can capture Phantom Thief Kid, but I don't believe in the abilities of the police."

Why don't you go to the museum today and help protect the Black Star that we're about to exhibit?

Sonoko Suzuki asked Ichiro Takayanagi for help, but he did not agree immediately.

Instead, he sat down in the middle of their seats and asked what the situation was.

Instead of fighting over it, the three girls dragged Kasugano Sora over and placed her next to Takayanagi Ichiro. Then they sat on the other side and told him about the situation with Kaito Kid.

The Black Star, which will be exhibited at the museum this time, is a family heirloom of the Suzuki Foundation.

It witnessed the rise of the Suzuki Group and is of considerable significance to the group.

Because Ran Mouri's father had been collecting treasures outside the city like his older brother over the years, he had the idea of ​​exhibiting the family heirloom at the Beika Museum.

Under normal circumstances, both the Suzuki Foundation's security and the police's security would provide services for this exhibition, making it impossible for ordinary thieves to even dream of owning this gem.

However, since the announcement was made by a legendary thief like Kaito Kid, both the police and the Suzuki Foundation were under pressure, which is why Sonoko Suzuki turned to Ichiro Takayanagi for help at this time.

“Kaito Kid is a notorious thief, but I believe the Suzuki Foundation is absolutely capable of taking him down without needing outside help. However, I won’t let this matter go unaddressed.”

Chapter 528 Kudo needs to do his work

At this point, Ichiro Takayanagi did not belittle the police's capabilities, but he affirmed the strength of the Suzuki Foundation, believing that ordinary thieves could not pose any threat to the Suzuki Foundation.

Even if the opponent they face this time is a notorious robber like Kaito Kid, the Suzuki Foundation will not feel any pressure, and Ichiro Takayanagi will not stand by and do nothing.

"Brother Ichiro, are you not going to personally deal with that despicable thief?"

Sonoko Suzuki doesn't know any Phantom Thief Kid now. The fact that he's eyeing her family heirloom means he's definitely not a good person.

Therefore, Sonoko Suzuki hoped that Ichiro Takayanagi would take direct action and capture the thief Kaito Kid, so that the Suzuki Foundation would not suffer any losses.

"Thieves like Kaito Kid should be caught by professionals, like famous detectives."

Of course, Ichiro Takayanagi wouldn't directly target the thief Kaito Kid, because it would be too beneath him.

Moreover, Ichiro Takayanagi knew that the current Phantom Thief Kid was definitely not the Phantom Thief Kid from more than ten years ago, but a male high school student in disguise.

In that case, it should be someone his own age who deals with him, not someone as old as Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Brother Ichiro, you wouldn't be suggesting that my father help the Suzuki Group solve its problems, would you?"

I know very well what his abilities are like.

Asking him to help with other small tasks is fine, but he's absolutely incapable of handling something as important as protecting a family heirloom.

Ran Mouri believed that Ichiro Takayanagi wanted Kogoro Mouri next door to help him, and immediately denied it.

Because she knew exactly what her father's abilities were, if he were invited by the Suzuki Group, he would only be a troublemaker.

"Xiao Lan, your memory isn't very good. Besides your methods, there was also a famous detective in your old family. How could you forget his identity?"

After hearing what Ichiro Takayanagi said, Ran Mouri looked a little embarrassed, because she had indeed forgotten about the other detective in her family.

The main reason is that Ran Mouri personally witnessed the inappropriate feelings between Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo, so she doesn't understand Shinichi Kudo at all.

It was only because of the persuasion of Takayanagi Ichiro and others that she allowed Kudo Shinichi to live in Mouri Kogoro's house; otherwise, she would have already stormed the door and driven away that vixen, Kudo Shinichi.

"Brother Ichiro, you mean Shinichi Kudo, right? He is indeed a pretty good detective. Maybe he can catch that arrogant thief."

Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi Kudo have always been at odds, but the reason they don't get along is entirely because of Ran Mouri.

If we're talking about reasoning ability alone, Sonoko Suzuki believes that Shinichi Kudo does possess some ability.

Asking him to help the Suzuki Group catch a thief shouldn't be a big problem.

"But……"

"Xiaolan, I know you still have some worries about your father's future."

Now I can give you an answer: if you let Shinichi Kudo, that detective, work with your father, your father might just become a famous detective himself.

If anything really happens, Shinichi Kudo will definitely lend a hand.

Then your father's career will improve significantly, and you won't have to worry about the family anymore.

The truth revealed by Ichiro Takayanagi caused Ran Mouri to lower her head.

She felt she shouldn't continue to concern herself with Kogoro Mouri's career and life, since her focus should now be on Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Xiao Lan, I think Brother Yi Lang's idea is very correct."

Shinichi Kudo shouldn't have been allowed to eat and live there for free; instead, he should have been made to contribute his own strength.

And this suggestion, which would help your father, I think is absolutely correct.”

Sonoko Suzuki also had some thoughts about Shinichi Kudo, but now she thought Ichiro Takayanagi's suggestion was absolutely correct, so she directly agreed.

"May I ask, who is Shinichi Kudo?"

Kasugano Sora timidly raised her hand to ask a question. Although she knew some information about Takayanagi Ichiro's surroundings, she didn't know enough details.

Ran knows that Kogoro Mouri is her father, but she has absolutely no idea who Shinichi Kudo is.

After hearing Kasugano Sora's words, the other three high school girls exchanged glances, all of them seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Since Kudo Shinjiro, this male high school student, is somewhat famous, it's incredibly satisfying that Kasugano Sora is completely unaware of this situation.

If Shinichi Kudo were standing in front of them now, they would definitely give him a good thrashing.

At this moment, Kaoru Takayanagi became the messenger, getting up from Ichiro Takayanagi's side and going to Kasugano Sora's side. He leaned close to Kasugano Sora's ear and explained some things about Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo.

Although the explanation wasn't very detailed, Kasugano Sora was deeply moved after hearing it.

His gaze immediately fell on Ran Mouri, surprised to find that her experiences were even richer than his own.

The fact that Ran Mouri had previously tried to persuade herself is enough to show that Ran Mouri is an exceptionally outstanding girl.

I feel so lucky to have come to this big city, not only to be able to live with Ichiro Takayanagi, but also to meet people like Ran Mouri.

"Sora, I don't care about what happened before at all. From now on, I will live my own life, just like what Brother Ichiro said earlier."

If that guy can really help my dad's business get back on track, then I won't say anything more.

Ran Mouri could certainly sense it, and Kasugano Sora immediately offered a corresponding explanation in response to her gaze.

"Xiao Lan, just like you told me before, I will stay by your side from now on."

Yesterday, Ran Mouri made such a promise to Sora Kasugano, and now that Sora Kasugano is reiterating it, their relationship has deepened considerably.

Sonoko Suzuki wasn't jealous that the other girls were getting along better with Ran Mouri, because she wanted to help solve some of the problems her family was facing.

"Brother Ichiro, should I call Ran's father directly and invite him to our conglomerate to help solve the problem?"

Sonoko Suzuki did not make a decision haphazardly, but instead consulted Ichiro Takayanagi, because she was able to get the correct answer.

Chapter 529 Detective Mouri, You Should Be Ashamed

"I'll call Detective Mouri first, and then you can call your family to explain the situation, and that should resolve the matter well."

If your family were to proactively invite Kogoro Mouri next door to help solve a threat related to Kaito Kid, it would make people think that your Suzuki Group is a bit beneath its dignity.

When the time comes, you can say that you and Ran are good friends, and that Kogoro Mouri is your friend's father who has recently solved some cases, so you can let him give it a try.

The main reason is that Kogoro Mouri used to be a police officer, so he might know more about Kaito Kid.

Ichiro Takayanagi had already prepared a series of reasons, and Ran Mouri wasn't angry, because Ichiro Takayanagi meant that Kogoro Mouri wasn't worthy of the Suzuki Foundation's invitation.

"That would be the best. If Suzuki had taken the initiative to invite my dad, he might have been incredibly proud."

Ran Mouri wants her father to have a successful career, but she also knows how to maintain a balance so that Kogoro Mouri doesn't get carried away.

"Brother Gao Liu, thank you for thinking so much about our family."

As soon as Sonoko Suzuki finished speaking, she moved closer to Ichiro Takayanagi and gave him a hard kiss on the cheek.

Ichiro Takayanagi only had a close relationship with the sisters and his relationship with the Suzuki Group was not very good, because Sonoko Suzuki's mother had not yet joined them.

However, the Suzuki Group is now facing some problems, and Ichiro Takayanagi is not ignoring them; instead, he is actively providing solutions.

This proves that Sonoko Suzuki and her sister held a certain place in Ichiro Takayanagi's heart. If their mother had joined in, the situation would have been completely different.

Ichiro Takayanagi didn't give any response. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed Kogoro Mouri's number, since he wanted to contact Kogoro Mouri first.

"Mr. Takayanagi?"

After the call connected, Kogoro Mouri greeted Ichiro Takayanagi with great respect, since Ichiro Takayanagi was still his creditor.

Although he had arranged for his daughter to come here to repay the debt, Ichiro Takayanagi could ask Kogoro Mouri for the debt at any time.
