My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"Detective Mori, it seems you've solved some cases recently. I've heard some rumors from the neighbors."

"You're a famous detective now, making money shouldn't be a difficult task for you."

Inside the detective agency, Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo were quite surprised to receive a call from Ichiro Takayanagi.

Although he and Ichiro Takayanagi had a debt relationship, their connection was not very close.

In Shinichi Kudo's mind, Ichiro Takayanagi must have some ulterior motive for calling this time.

Because Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo tricked Ichiro Takayanagi into doing charity work in the town last time, Ichiro Takayanagi will definitely retaliate.

Now, when Takayanagi Ichiro asks Mouri Kogoro if making money is easy, does he want Mouri Kogoro to pay him back?

“Mr. Takayanagi, I have indeed solved a few cases recently, but you are still a long way from becoming a famous detective, and making money is still a bit difficult for me.”

Since his own daughter had gone to Takayanagi Ichiro's house to pay off her debts, he didn't need to be in such a hurry to repay Takayanagi Ichiro's debts.

The main reason is that Ran Mouri discovered Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo's secret, so Kogoro Mouri doesn't want Ran to return to the agency, as that would cause unrest at home.

"Detective Mouri, the reason you don't earn money easily is because your fame is a bit low."

I've heard about a case that, if you handle it, will absolutely boost your reputation significantly.

At this time, Ichiro Takayanagi offered Kogoro Mouri a very good option, which surprised Kogoro Mouri.

Unexpectedly, Takayanagi Ichiro, the creditor, would offer advice to the debtor on how to make money.

"Mr. Takayanagi, what case are you referring to?"

If there really is a case that can enhance his reputation, then Kogoro Mouri will definitely try to get it.

Shinichi Kudo could hear the conversation between Ichiro Takayanagi and Kogoro Mouri. He tugged at Kogoro Mouri's clothes and pointed at the television.

The television screen was showing Kaito Kid provoking the Suzuki Foundation, so it seemed that what Ichiro Takayanagi was about to say was related to Kaito Kid.

"Because of my special relationship with the Suzuki Group, I learned that a thief was provoking the Suzuki Group."

I also know that Detective Mori was a police officer before, so he might know more about this thief.

If you could help Jintao or the Suzuki Group catch this thief, it would greatly enhance your reputation.

Just as Shinichi Kudo had predicted, Kogoro Mouri showed no surprise, as it was only natural for Shinichi Kudo to do so.

“My reputation is now even better, and the police and Suzuki Group people will definitely not notice me.”

Even if I wanted to help, there was nothing I could do.

I do know a bit about a thief like Kaito Kid.

Furthermore, we know that the police now have a special department dedicated to combating such cybercrimes.

Kogoro Mouri certainly wants to improve his reputation so he can make more money, but he also knows himself very well and believes that he is not worthy of a company like the Suzuki Group.

"This person is a thief who has been silent for more than ten years and is now making a comeback. I believe the police will be on high alert."

If, at this moment, a righteous person who knows something about the thief appears and chooses to help, I believe both the police and the Suzuki Foundation will be drawn to your arrival.

Furthermore, your daughter is good friends with the second daughter of the Suzuki Group. I can ask her to help put in a good word for you, so your visit won't seem out of place.

Kogoro Mouri was pleasantly surprised by Ichiro Takayanagi's actions.

However, Shinichi Kudo frowned, thinking that Ichiro Takayanagi was plotting some wicked scheme to take revenge on them, so he gave Kogoro Mouri a meaningful look.

Because Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo have a very close relationship, he is very considerate of Shinichi Kudo's opinions.

"Mr. Takayanagi, why are you going to such lengths to help me?"

"Because you still owe me money, I can't bear to see a high school girl pay off that debt through her work."

As a father, you should feel ashamed. Now that you have this opportunity, you should seize it and not be swayed by others' advice.

Takayanagi Ichiro's voice came through the phone, making Kudo Shinichi's expression turn somewhat unpleasant, because Takayanagi Ichiro had almost pointed at his name.

Chapter 530 The Suzuki family mother and daughter remained.

Shinichi Kudo believes that Ichiro Takayanagi already knows about their relationship, and the reason he is being sarcastic is simply because Ichiro Takayanagi seems to care about some of Ran Mouri's past experiences.

When Takayanagi Ichiro returned from the town this time, he was not in a hurry to take revenge on the two of them, most likely because he genuinely wanted to do some charitable work.

However, he could use other means to retaliate, such as giving Kogoro Mouri an opportunity to shine.

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri are indeed good friends. The Suzuki Foundation must have encountered some critical situations in the past, but the Suzuki Foundation did not seek help from Kogoro Mouri.

Now that the thief Kaito Kid has reappeared, he has attracted the attention of the police.

Furthermore, Kaito Kid has set his sights on the Suzuki Foundation, intending to use this opportunity to announce his powerful comeback.

The Suzuki Foundation would definitely seek help from the police immediately and then use its own abilities to solve the problem. The thief Kaito Kid would never contact a bumbling detective like Kogoro Mouri.

Now that Ichiro Takayanagi has called Kogoro Mouri to tell him to prepare himself mentally for contacting people from the Suzuki Group, it's clear that he has his own influence involved.

If this mission succeeds, Kogoro Mouri will definitely be grateful to Ichiro Takayanagi.

If Ichiro Takayanagi says something bad about Shinichi Kudo again, Kogoro Mouri might just have to swallow his pride and accept it.

“Mr. Takayanagi, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I will be extremely careful when negotiating with the Suzuki Group, and I will do my best in all aspects of the work.”

During the phone call, Kogoro Mouri thanked Ichiro Takayanagi and stopped Shinichi Kudo from speaking.

Kogoro Mouri knew very well what kind of entity the Suzuki Foundation was.

He had previously considered using his daughter to get close to the Suzuki Group, a powerful conglomerate, but his daughter never had such an idea.

If he behaves like that, he will be despised by everyone.

I never expected to get this opportunity to cooperate through a creditor like Takayanagi Ichiro. I'll definitely do my best during the operation.

"Detective Mouri, I only played a small part in it."

You'll need to communicate with the Suzuki Group about the specifics of how to proceed.

I can give you some ideas to improve your career, entirely because Xiaolan is worried about you.

Zhou'er's face turned very ugly at Takayanagi Ichiro's words. He believed that Takayanagi Ichiro definitely knew that he was eavesdropping, which was why he said that.

You have to understand, Shinichi Kudo had never considered such a thing before.

But now that Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo have a different relationship, he can stop worrying about these things.

Moreover, she shares the same thought as Kogoro Mouri: she doesn't want Ran Mouri to return from Ichiro Takayanagi's agency, because it would hinder their relationship.

“Mr. Takayanagi, you are a graduate of the University of Tokyo. Ran can receive a better education under your guidance, and perhaps she will be able to get into the University of Tokyo like her mother in the future.”

I'll definitely thank you properly then, so there's no need for Xiaolan to come back at this time.

Kogoro Mouri was naturally a little happy that his daughter was thinking of him, but he didn't want Ran Mouri to come back from Ichiro Takayanagi's office.

"Detective Mouri, I don't need your thanks. Just wait for the Suzuki Group to contact you."

After Ichiro Takayanagi finished speaking, he hung up the phone and then received a reward from Ran Mouri.

Ran Mouri was sitting next to Ichiro Takayanagi and had heard the conversation between Ichiro Takayanagi and Kogoro Mouri clearly. She also understood her position in Ichiro Takayanagi's heart.

Sonoko Suzuki just rewarded Ichiro Takayanagi, so there's no problem for me to imitate Sonoko Suzuki's actions.

"Brother Ichiro, thank you for thinking so much about me."

"Xiao Lan, I can tell from the phone call that Detective Mouri doesn't want you to go back."

But we all want you to stay here, so this is your home now.

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, Ran Mouri couldn't hold back and rushed into his arms.

No one else disturbed them, especially Kasugano Sora, who had a deeper understanding of Takayanagi Ichiro.

Takayanagi Ichiro spent a week doing charity work in the small town, so they didn't have much time to get to know each other.

However, after spending two days at this house, my understanding of Takayanagi Ichiro has deepened even further.

Takayanagi Ichiro is truly an outstanding man, and my choice to come to the big city was absolutely correct.

"Xiao Lan, you can also consider us your family, because we have been family for a long time."

When Sonoko Suzuki spoke up at this moment, she directly revealed their relationship.

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri are best friends; their relationship is so close they could be described as familial. Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Sonoko Suzuki to make such a promise.

"Sonoko, in my heart, you are like family."

Ran Mouri naturally needed to give a response, and Sonoko Suzuki took the opportunity to snuggle into Ichiro Takayanagi's arms, without winning the jealousy of others.

However, she didn't linger for long. Sonoko Suzuki immediately left Ichiro Takayanagi's embrace and called her family to suggest inviting Kogoro Mouri for help.

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

Suzuki family.

Shiro Suzuki followed his older brother's example and started collecting things in Japan, so he didn't live at home for long periods of time.

Sonoko Suzuki lived in Ichiro Takayanagi's house for a long time, so the only people living there were Tomoko Suzuki and Ayako Suzuki, a mother and daughter.

After finishing her call with her youngest daughter, Tomoko Suzuki put down her phone and looked at her eldest daughter.

Ayako Suzuki has been busy with her career lately, and it's showing some promise.

But instead of leaving the house, she moved in with her mother.

After the incident at the mountaintop villa, Ayako Suzuki knew that her mother was somewhat lonely, which is why she chose to stay with her mother.

However, she did not intend to persuade Sonoko Suzuki. She was just a high school girl, and it was normal for her to have her own ideas.

Before Ayako Suzuki could ask any questions, Tomoko Suzuki relayed some of the suggestions Sonoko Suzuki had given her to her eldest daughter.

Since Ayako Suzuki wants to venture out into the world, she should be prepared for unexpected events, such as the Phantom Thief Kid that the Suzuki Foundation encountered this time.

Chapter 531 Mom, Go and Experience It Yourself

Just as Ichiro Takayanagi guessed, the Suzuki Foundation was not afraid of a thief like Kaito Kid at all.

However, the other party is a notorious thief, and his sudden act of giving up will definitely bring in a huge amount of traffic.
