My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Nakamori Aoko has already met with Takayanagi Ichiro, but neither of them seems interested in the other, leaving Nakamori Aoko feeling somewhat helpless.

But this is good, because since no one is sharing any of their feelings, they can get more.

"Okay, let's continue watching the live broadcast then."

The conversation between Kaito Kid and Ginzo Nakamori continued during the live stream.

"Even if our police have other sources of information, that is within our police's capabilities."

I advise you to surrender sooner rather than later, and I can make you suffer less.

You should know that some of the officers behind me have been following you for a long time, some of them have been following you for over ten years, just like me, and they still have some resentment towards you.

Furthermore, as long as we're here, you shouldn't even think about provoking the Suzuki Group's Dark Star again.

Of course, Nakamori Ginzo wouldn't reveal Takayanagi Ichiro's identity, because his own source was the highest-ranking officer in the police force, and he wasn't qualified to ask Director Hakuba about his sources.

Therefore, at this point, Ginzo Nakamori can only persuade Kaito Kid to surrender; he doesn't want to fire directly.

Upon hearing what Nakamori Ginzo said, Kaito Kid's gaze fell on Conan, and he realized that the other party was really just a student and had not made any great effort to disguise himself.

They might have a little bit of cleverness, but it's absolutely impossible for them to know their true identity and notify the police.

"Officer Nakamori, your police force has really declined."

Chapter 550 We all like Brother Ichiro

When Kaito Kid said this, his tone was full of disappointment, as if he himself belonged to the police force.

Upon hearing this, not only Nakamori Ginzo but also the police officers behind him were displeased.

How could a thief like Kaito Kid have such an attitude? Does he think he is a paragon of justice?

“Kaito Kid, I told you before that our police force has other intelligence sources that you cannot access, so your claim that our police force has declined is completely unfounded.”

"Now you should surrender and let me take you to the police station for a lesson, and then you can slowly grow up to be a better person."

Nakamori Ginzo's words caused his subordinates' expressions to change again; it sounded like the kind of thing an elder would say to a junior.

“I have no objection to the fact that your police have special intelligence sources, which proves that your police intelligence network is beyond my control.”

The reason I am disappointed in your police force is because I feel that you have completely become tools of the wealthy.

The Suzuki Dan is essentially a group that plunders the wealth of others.

"For you police to be aiding and abetting evil at this time is truly unethical, so you have no right to criticize me."

.........

"This thief is talking nonsense. The sources of funds for the Suzuki Group are all crystal clear."

Furthermore, we donate a significant amount of money to charity every year, which has been reported by many news media outlets.

Moreover, it's the kind of charity that involves real money; every donation is traceable, and there has never been any case of embezzlement.

Moreover, this time, it wasn't the Suzuki Foundation that invited the police; rather, the police approached us.

The thief didn't know this, yet he claimed the police were hired by us. He truly has no ability or sense of responsibility whatsoever.

After hearing what Kaito Kid said, Sonoko Suzuki became very angry.

The Suzuki Saidan is indeed a large conglomerate, but it is not the kind of entity that grew by plundering the wealth of others. On the contrary, they donate a large amount of money to charity every year.

Now that Kaito Kid has described it this way, it seems like he's some kind of evil being, so Sonoko Suzuki strongly disagrees.

"Sonoko, don't be angry. I believe Ichiro has already marked him."

If he goes any further, Ichiro might actually take action against him.

At this moment, Ran Mouri spoke up to persuade Sonoko Suzuki, because as Sonoko's good friend, he naturally knew what kind of entity the Suzuki Foundation was.

Kaito Kid's words just now were indeed a bit excessive; he shouldn't have said that.

After hearing Ran Mouri's words, Aoko Nakamori felt a little tremble inside.

She knows nothing about Takayanagi Ichiro at the moment, but Suzuki Sonoko and others admire him greatly, which means that Takayanagi Ichiro's abilities are extraordinary.

If Ichiro Takayanagi really intends to deal with Kaito Kid, then Kaito Kid might actually be arrested.

Although she hadn't been 100% certain of Kaito Kid's identity, Aoko Nakamori had a vague guess in her mind, and she couldn't gamble on such an outcome.

"Ms. Suzuki, people like Kaito Kid should be dealt with by the police."

"It's a bit awkward for Mr. Takayanagi to get involved, because it's unclear in what capacity he could participate."

When Nakamori Aoko said this, she addressed Suzuki Sonoko as "Miss Suzuki" instead of "Suzuki-kun," which clearly carried a different meaning.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran did not agree with Nakamori Aoko's words. Suzuki Sonoko stared at Nakamori Aoko for a while, which made Nakamori Aoko look away.

It was as if she was worried that if they continued to look at each other, Suzuki Sonoko would discover her true thoughts.

“Nakamori-kun, since you’ve been sitting here for so long, I can tell you some truths now.”

You may have already noticed, but I really like Ichiro-nii. After I graduate from high school, I will definitely marry Ichiro-nii, and then he will inherit a portion of the Suzuki Group.

In Japan, women tend to marry much earlier; sometimes even high school students can elope and get married.

However, large conglomerates are selective in their marriage targets, preferring those who can complement each other.

I really want to see someone like Sonoko Suzuki announce that Ichiro Takayanagi is her marriage partner and that he will inherit the Suzuki Group.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, in our family, besides me liking Brother Ichiro, my sister also likes Brother Ichiro. In the future, Brother Ichiro will obtain 100% of the inheritance rights of our Suzuki Group."

"Kaito Kid is currently slandering our Suzuki Foundation. Do you think Ichiro won't take action?"

The news that Sonoko Suzuki told Nakamori Aoko really surprised her. She never expected that the two heirs of the Suzuki Group would fall in love with the same man.

Moreover, there was no conflict between them; on the contrary, they were very harmonious.

The truth was so shocking that even Nakamori Aoko couldn't quite believe it. So she subconsciously looked at Mouri Ran beside her, because she felt that Mouri Ran was someone she could trust.

It wasn't that Ran Mouri was the daughter of a famous detective, but rather the feeling she got from their first meeting that made her choose to believe Ran Mouri.

“Nakamori-kun, Sonoko wasn’t lying this time; she was stating a fact.”

Ran Mouri chose to stand on Sonoko Suzuki's side because she and Ran Mouri were good friends.

Furthermore, she knew what kind of entity the Suzuki Group was, so she didn't like the Suzuki Group being slandered.

If Kaito Kid continues to slander so arrogantly, he might next slander Kogoro Mouri or someone else, which is something Ran Mouri cannot accept.

After receiving confirmation from Ran Mouri, Aoko Nakamori felt completely numb.

What kind of magic does Ichiro Takayanagi possess that could make both heirs of the Suzuki Group fall for him?

“Nakamori, perhaps you don’t quite understand this, so let me tell you another truth.”

"Your trusted Ran, and also Kaoru and Sora here, we all like Ichiro-nii."

Perhaps feeling that the truth she had revealed wasn't shocking enough, Sonoko Suzuki went on to reveal the other half of the truth, and then Aoko Nakamori stared in astonishment with her mouth agape.

Seeing Nakamori Aoko, who looks remarkably like Ran Mouri, in this exaggerated state, Suzuki Sonoko burst out laughing; it was truly a rare sight.

Chapter 551 The Phantom Thief Who Cannot Escape

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri have been friends for over ten years, but she has never seen such an expression on Ran Mouri's face before.

Because Ran Mouri's parents separated when she was very young, she not only had to take care of herself, but also Kogoro Mouri, that useless detective.

Therefore, she needs to be strong and will never easily show her emotions, especially sadness.

Even when she encounters something happy, she keeps it to herself, at most sharing it with Sonoko Suzuki, and doesn't show such a rich range of expressions.

Sonoko Suzuki was also a little dazed when she saw Aoko Nakamori like this, since the two of them did look somewhat alike.

Now that different expressions appear, it's easier to distinguish between them.

Kaoru Takayanagi and Sora Kasugano didn't offer any opinions, since they hadn't been friends with Ran Mouri for very long.

Especially Kasugano Sora, who came from a small town to live in the big city, trusts Mouri Ran just like Nakamori Aoko does, so there's no need for her to joke about something like this.

Nakamori Aoko noticed Suzuki Sonoko's gaze and heard her laughter, which made her even more embarrassed.

It's as if she has to bear a series of consequences for every wrongdoing committed by Kaito Kid.

"Nakamori-kun, I didn't mean to bully you. I just wanted to make something clear to you: the Suzuki Group is not something that just anyone can slander."

Even if Ichiro didn't intervene, the Suzuki Group itself, once it gets going, is absolutely unstoppable, even if the opponent is a notorious thief.

Sonoko Suzuki was not lying about this. All it takes is finding some clues about Kaito Kid's preferences, and a large conglomerate like the Suzuki Foundation can set up restrictions to cater to his tastes, or even control his lifeline.

In this respect, large corporations and the police are quite different.

Because the police have to consider the impact on public opinion, but large corporations can use some unconventional methods.

Hearing Sonoko Suzuki speak so seriously, Aoko Nakamori forgot her shyness and looked at Sonoko Suzuki with a surprised expression.

At first, Sonoko Suzuki gave her the impression of a down-to-earth young lady.

But now that I've heard these words, I realize that the other person truly has the refinement of someone from a prestigious family, and the things they consider are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"If a large conglomerate is really targeting a specific person, then even if that person is a well-known thief, they will definitely suffer severe consequences."

Ran Mouri made a definitive statement at this moment, forcing Aoko Nakamori to consider the possibility that the Suzuki Foundation was truly going all out against Kaito Kid.

"This time, Phantom Thief Kid didn't succeed in stealing anything, and he was just joking around. There's no need to go after him completely."

"Mori-kun, you should have learned the idiom 'kill the chicken to scare the monkey,' right? If we don't really teach Kaito Kid a lesson this time, other thieves or individuals might step forward to provoke the Suzuki Foundation in the future. In that case, our Suzuki Boys will lose much more than just these things."

If we can accomplish this task at the lowest possible cost, then that's certainly an excellent option.

At this moment, Sonoko Suzuki's aura was at its peak.

Because of Takayanagi Ichiro's influence, she has undergone significant personal changes, a fact that her mother and sister can both perceive.

"Don't worry, someone like Kaito Kid would never make the same mistake twice."

Of course, they wouldn't even consider coveting the Suzuki Group's jewelry.

At this moment, Ichiro Takayanagi commented on Kaito Kid, drawing all the girls' attention to him.
