My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"In that case, why don't you watch the entire live stream with us and then judge whether your prediction is correct?"

Ran Mouri extended an invitation to Aoko Nakamori, a girl who resembled her.

Chapter 548 The Police Can't Catch Phantom Thief Kid

Ran Mouri could sense that although Aoko Nakamori had scolded her father, she should care about him just as much as she did.

It was only because she met her good friends, including Takayanagi Ichiro, that she changed these habits.

Seeing Aoko Nakamori now, Ran Mouri really feels like she's looking in a mirror.

Therefore, Ran Mouri invited Aoko Nakamori, and the other girls had no objections.

At this moment, Takayanagi Mitsuka even stood up and made way for Nakamori Aoko.

"You young people can chat together, I'll go make something to eat."

Takayanagi Mitsuka is much older than the girls in the high school because she is Takayanagi Kaoru's mother.

Therefore, their ability to accept new things is somewhat weak, let alone someone like Kaito Kid.

Previously, I just watched the live stream with my family, but I couldn't see any effect and didn't make any comments.

"Mom, there's enough room to sit here."

When Kaoru Takayanagi spoke up to persuade her mother to stay, she wanted to tell Aoko Nakamori that besides herself, they had other people helping them.

Hearing what Kaoru Takayanagi said, Aoko Nakamori was quite surprised.

Although Takayanagi Mitsuka and Takayanagi Kaoru look quite alike, Ran Mouri never thought they were mother and daughter, and always assumed they were sisters.

They really take good care of themselves. If Takayanagi Mika and Takayanagi Kaoru went out together, everyone would definitely mistake them for each other.

"You guys talk here, I'm going to do my own thing."

Knowing that her identity might put pressure on Nakamori Aoko, Takayanagi Mitsuka chose to leave.

Takayanagi Ichiro didn't seem to mind; these were just minor issues.

Ran Mouri knew this too, so when she invited Aoko Nakamori, she didn't even ask Ichiro Takayanagi for his opinion.

After Takayanagi Mika left, the position became vacant.

The girls in the family chose to switch seats, with Ran Mouri and Aoko Nakamori sitting next to each other, Ran Mouri next to Ichiro Takayanagi.

Beside the two of them was a girl named Kasugano Sora.

She made this choice not because she directly approved of Nakamori Aoko, but because it was Ran Mouri's invitation, so she had no major objections.

On the other side of Ichiro Takayanagi are Kaoru Takayanagi and Sonoko Suzuki, and the two of them have always had a very good relationship.

Kaoru Takayanagi and Ichiro Takayanagi have a good personal relationship, while Sonoko Suzuki is a very outgoing girl who doesn't seem like the heiress of a large conglomerate at all.

Of course, neither Kaoru Takayanagi nor Sonoko Suzuki intended to be hostile towards Aoko Nakamori; it was just a matter of habit.

Seeing this scene, Nakamori Aoko also had her own thoughts: Takayanagi Ichiro was definitely the core of this family.

Moreover, the girl next to Takayanagi Ichiro must have a good relationship with him, and it might even go further.

However, these are all other people's private matters, and she just happened to be here, so she couldn't possibly offer any opinions.

"Thank you very much for your invitation. I also want to see how this matter will turn out."

Although the girls had finished introducing themselves, and everyone had gotten to know each other, they were now all acquainted.

To Aoko Nakamori's surprise, Ran Mouri turned out to be the daughter of the famous detective she was looking for, and she was only willing to stay at Ichiro Takayanagi's house because of some reason.

"Inspector Nakamori and Phantom Thief Kid are about to start bickering again. Let's just watch the live stream for the plot."

Since Nakamori Aoko had no intention of joining the competition, Suzuki Sonoko became much more polite to her and invited her to watch the live broadcast together.

Nakamori Aoko knew that the live broadcast of this scene was orchestrated by Suzuki Sonoko. After all, Suzuki Sonoko was the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, so doing something like this was a piece of cake for her.

"I don't believe in the capabilities of your police force. You couldn't catch the Phantom Thief Kid more than ten years ago, and you won't be able to catch me more than ten years later either."

You don't even know anything about Phantom Thief Kid, yet you're telling me you know about my relationship with the previous Phantom Thief Kid.

If you really had that much ability, Phantom Thief Kid might have been caught long ago.

Kaito Kid is speaking to mock Ginzo Nakamori, because he completely disbelieves that the police have such capabilities.

“Kaito Kid is right. The police do lack information about Kaito Kid, otherwise they might have been able to catch him.” Nakamori Aoko acknowledged Kaito Kid’s words at this moment.

"Of course the police don't have that capability. The reason why Inspector Nakamori knows so much is entirely because Brother Ichiro called the highest-ranking officer in the police force, and then Inspector Nakamori was notified."

Sonoko Suzuki chimed in and revealed the truth of the matter, clearly showing off Ichiro Takayanagi's words.

They are not worried about being overheard and spread, because they are all high school girls, and if the police cannot do it, how could a few high school girls' wishes be fulfilled?

However, Nakamori Aoko truly believed Suzuki Sonoko's statement, because Suzuki Sonoko had no reason to deceive her.

"Sonoko admires Ichiro quite a bit, and now it's been proven that there is indeed a connection between the two Kaito Kids."

Even if the police were notified in advance, it's very likely that they won't be able to arrest Kaito Kid this time.

At this point, Ran Mouri spoke up to explain Sonoko Suzuki's attitude and also stated her own position: the police could not arrest the person this time.

The main reason is that Kaito Kid is too relaxed. Even when he is being watched from upstairs and downstairs, as well as from helicopters in the sky, Kaito Kid does not panic at all.

Moreover, the fact that the highest-ranking official on site is now talking to Phantom Thief Kid is somewhat discouraging.

“My dad is usually quite calm, but he loses that composure when he encounters Kaito Kid, because Kaito Kid has always been his inner demon.”

This is a good opportunity. That elementary school student found the location of Phantom Thief Kid in advance, so we should arrest Phantom Thief Kid at all costs.

Even if they wanted to chat, they should have waited until Phantom Thief Kid was arrested and put in a prison van. After saying this, Nakamori Aoko was quite disappointed in her father and sighed.

"Even if we put Kaito Kid in a prison van, we'll probably just have to watch him escape once we get to the police station," Takayanagi Ichiro commented on Kaito Kid at this moment.

Chapter 549 Your police force has declined.

Since I came in, Ichiro Takayanagi has been a relatively quiet person.

Nakamori Aoko was somewhat surprised that he suddenly started commenting on Kaito Kid and Nakamori Ginzo.

Sonoko Suzuki previously stated that the reason the police knew that the current Phantom Thief Kid was directly connected to the previous Phantom Thief Kid was because Ichiro Takayanagi informed on them.

Because I didn't feel comfortable with Takayanagi Ichiro, I didn't even ask him anything.

But now that Ichiro Takayanagi has commented on his father, it's only natural that we need to have a proper discussion with him.

"Mr. Takayanagi, are you and Kaito Kid very familiar with each other?"

Takayanagi Ichiro was only a few years older than the girls, so he definitely couldn't have known the Phantom Thief Kid from more than ten years ago.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Ichiro Takayanagi knows the current Phantom Thief Kid and knows his true identity, otherwise he would not have given the police such accurate information.

“Ms. Nakamori, actually you are the one most qualified to answer this question, rather than me.”

Takayanagi Ichiro's words stunned all the girls, including Nakamori Aoko herself.

“Brother Ichiro, even if Nakamori has read the files about Kaito Kid, it’s impossible for him to have any deep understanding of Kaito Kid, let alone know more about him than Nakamori Ginzo.”

Ran Mouri wasn't trying to oppose Ichiro Takayanagi; she was simply stating the most basic facts.

Even if Kogoro Mouri showed her the case files, she couldn't understand some of the cases clearly, let alone a thief like Kaito Kid.

Of course, someone like Shinichi Kudo is an exception, but Aoko Nakamori could never be Shinichi Kudo.

Nakamori Aoko first gave Mouri Ran a grateful look, then explained to Takayanagi Ichiro:

“Mr. Gao Liu, I will not look at my father’s case file, and my father will not take the case file home. I also cannot go to the police station to check it. I do not have such authority right now.”

Faced with this explanation, Takayanagi Ichiro showed no intention of apologizing; instead, he continued:

"The abilities that Kaito Kid is currently displaying are even more powerful than those of ordinary magicians, so it is very likely that he will disguise himself as an ordinary person and hide by my side."

After hearing Ichiro Takayanagi's words, Aoko Nakamori fell silent, while Kaoru Takayanagi, Sonoko Suzuki, and the others let their imaginations run wild.

"It really is just like what you said, Brother Ichiro. Kaito Kid's ability to imitate other people's voices without using any gadgets is quite impressive. If he could transform into someone else's appearance, he would be even more inconspicuous."

"The Phantom Thief Kid could not possibly be Inspector Nakamori, but he is very likely someone Inspector Nakamori knows, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm."

"And it's very likely that you know Ms. Nakamori. The reason you came here might have been because of her guidance."

One person's wisdom may be limited, but the combined wisdom of several people is extraordinary.

Although they are just a few female high school students, they all feel that their physical attributes, including their brainpower, have been subtly improved after having sex with Takayanagi Ichiro.

Therefore, the conclusion they have deduced is very likely the most accurate one.

"Is it someone close to me, someone I know well?" Nakamori Aoko had already chosen someone in mind when she said this.

But that's highly unlikely, because his personality and style of doing things are completely different from Kaito Kid's.

However, what Ichiro Takayanagi, Kaoru Takayanagi, and Sonoko Suzuki all said made a lot of sense. Only if Kaito Kid was someone close to her could he have such an effect.

"I think Ichiro-nii's reasoning is correct, and it seems like you have someone to suspect, Nakamori-kun."

Why don't you tell us who you suspect, and then we can take the police to investigate them?

If you're worried that person will be arrested by the police, we can go ourselves; there's no need to notify the police.

Then we'll have new topics to talk about, and you'll be free to do that too.

Faced with Sonoko Suzuki's suggestion, Aoko Nakamori shook her head immediately.

If the person she imagines is indeed Kaito Kid, then she should verify it herself.

You can tell that Sonoko Suzuki is actually a kind person.

However, Sonoko Suzuki preferred watching the excitement, so she did not agree to the suggestion.

“Suzuki-san, I haven’t thought of a suitable candidate yet, so your guess is wrong.” Nakamori Aoko refuted Suzuki Sonoko’s guess, and Suzuki Sonoko didn’t seem to be angry, after all, it was just a small speculation.

The main reason is that Sonoko Suzuki already knows the truth, and Aoko Nakamori definitely has someone in mind, possibly someone close to her, which is why she doesn't want others to know the truth.

If I really had to use a metaphor, it would be like Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo in the past, someone who would keep each other's secrets.

However, Ran Mouri has changed now, and Aoko Nakamori will definitely change in the future; she just needs to meet Ichiro Takayanagi.
