My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

“It was my father’s fault for not noticing the discrepancy in the number of people immediately. They should have already scattered by now, so it’s absolutely impossible to find the thief.”

At this point, Nakamori Aoko still denied her father's abilities and showed no intention of informing Nakamori Ginzo.

This is a personal matter for Nakamori Aoko, so the other girls will not interfere.

"Brother Ichiro, when Kaito Kid left, he foreshadowed his route and said he would make his move this weekend."

At this time, Sonoko Suzuki gave Ichiro Takayanagi a physical examination. She wanted Ichiro to remember that he was going to attend the Suzuki Foundation's 100th anniversary celebration over the weekend.

Moreover, Ichiro Takayanagi was not there to protect the Suzuki family heirloom, but to meet Tomoko Suzuki.

Suzuki Tomoko had previously met Takayanagi Ichiro at his office alone because of Suzuki Sonoko's situation, and she had a very good impression of him.

Later, Sonoko Suzuki and her sister Ayako Suzuki got together and had a happy ending, so Tomoko Suzuki met Ichiro Takayanagi again.

As for what will happen after the meeting, we'll have to wait and see how things develop.

Sonoko Suzuki's reminder made Aoko Nakamori nervous. Although Ichiro Takayanagi wasn't a detective, his personal abilities were simply too strong.

The moment Kaito Kid disappeared, he immediately paused the screen, and after Kaito Kid disappeared, he paused the screen again, incidentally making the high school girls notice the difference in focus.

If Ichiro Takayanagi were to truly dedicate himself to fighting Phantom Thief Kid, then Phantom Thief Kid would meet a gruesome end.

"Mr. Takayanagi, and Ran, I'm going home now."

At this point, Nakamori Aoko took her leave, bidding farewell to Takayanagi Ichiro and Mori Ran, and then to Suzuki Sonoko and the others.

Although their relationship wasn't very good, at least she was allowed to enter the house and witness the entire unfolding of events.

Takayanagi Ichiro and the others did not refuse Nakamori Aoko's farewell, knowing in their hearts that she was likely to do something else.

After Ran Mouri saw Aoko Nakamori off, she returned to find Ichiro Takayanagi and several female high school students having a heated discussion.

"I think Kaito Kid is someone close to Aoko Nakamori, and someone she's quite close to. She's been keeping this from us all along."

She became nervous again, thinking I was planning to ask Ichiro to deal with Kaito Kid.

“This time, I agree with what you said, Sonoko-neechan. Thieves like Kaito Kid should be arrested by the police instead of being allowed to continue to roam free.”

“I also want to agree with what you said, but I think Brother Gao Liu doesn’t seem to think that way. We can listen to what Brother Gao Liu has to say.”

Kasugano Sora suddenly spoke up at this moment, and then she considered Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Brother Ichiro, do you perhaps not want Kaito Kid, that thief, to be caught by the police?"

Ran Mouri asked the question, secretly nodding to Sora Kasugano.

A girl who can always think about Takayanagi Ichiro will definitely be able to gain a foothold in this family.

"Life in this world is too mundane. Even going to the movies isn't as exciting as watching live streams."

Kaito Kid is like a spice in our lives; if we remove him now, it will be very difficult to find a replacement later.

Of course, if Phantom Thief Kid really does something heinous, I will definitely assist the police in arresting him and prevent such a menace from remaining in the world.

Ichiro Takayanagi wanted to make the world a little more fun, which is why he didn't actively try to capture Kaito Kid.

Several high school girls nodded in agreement after hearing this.

They thoroughly enjoyed watching the live stream, except for Sonoko Suzuki.

Chapter 554 Kaito, you must be Kid!

After all, Kaito Kid had just made a disparaging remark about the Suzuki Foundation during a live stream, which wasn't good for Sonoko Suzuki.

Fortunately, Phantom Thief Kid knew when to stop and didn't continue.

If Kaito Kid doesn't learn to restrain himself, Sonoko Suzuki might ask her family to take action against him, and she might even ask Ichiro Takayanagi to help.

"Okay, let him dance like a clown then."

If he can bring us some joy, then keeping him in this world still serves a small purpose.

Sonoko Suzuki made it clear that she didn't necessarily intend to target Kaito Kid, which relieved Ran Mouri.

It's worth noting that after meeting Nakamori Aoko, they both developed a certain level of mutual attraction.

Kaito Kid is someone close to Aoko Nakamori, and a rather intimate one at that.

If the Suzuki Foundation or Ichiro Takayanagi really catches Kaito Kid, it will definitely be a blow to Aoko Nakamori.

Sonoko Suzuki doesn't seem to have any particular intention of capturing Kaito Kid right now, so perhaps Aoko Nakamori could persuade Kaito Kid to turn over a new leaf.

"Sonoko-nee, if you said this in front of Nakamori Aoko, she might get angry. After all, Kaito Kid is someone she knows well."

At this moment, Kaoru Takayanagi jokingly remarked to Sonoko Suzuki that he had described Kaito Kid as a clown, which might cause some people to hold a grudge.

"I would say this even if Nakamori Aoko were in front of me: Kaito Kid is just a clown, the kind of person who can't do anything big."

Ideally, he'd be persuaded to turn himself in; otherwise, I'll have other ways to deal with him.

Sonoko Suzuki also hopes that Aoko Nakamori can persuade Kaito Kid to turn himself in, so that Kaito Kid's career as a phantom thief will be completely over.

Now that Sonoko Suzuki has calmed down, there's no need to continue trying to provoke her.

At this moment, Takayanagi Mitsuka came downstairs and began to inform Takayanagi Ichiro and the others that it was time to eat.

I was quite surprised to see Nakamori Aoko leave, as I thought she would stay for dinner.

After all, she looks quite similar to Ran Mouri, so she should be able to attract Ichiro Takayanagi's attention.

Moreover, even without these prerequisites, any girl who interacts with Takayanagi Ichiro will definitely become curious and want to stay by his side. Could it be that Takayanagi Ichiro's charm has failed?

That should be impossible. You can tell from the way the female high school students looked at Takayanagi Ichiro that he was incredibly attractive to them.

"Nakamori had something important to take care of, so he left immediately."

"Let's go, since there are no outsiders here now, let's try out the poses we figured out ourselves after we finish eating."

Sonoko Suzuki's words made both Kaoru Takayanagi and Ran Mouri blush.

But they did not refuse, because the offer was so tempting.

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

Nakamori family.

Nakamori Ginzo definitely won't be back tonight, or if he is, it will be in the middle of the night.

Since he failed to capture Phantom Thief Kid, he will definitely have to make a self-criticism and report.

So the person standing at the door of the Zhong family's house now is not Nakamori Ginzo, but Nakamori Aoko. He seems to be waiting for someone.

"Qingzi, what are you doing standing at your door so late?"

Your father might not be coming home tonight, so you should go home and get some rest.

Just then, a young man walked over from a distance. He was from the same school as Nakamori Aoko, and the two could be considered childhood friends.

The boy's name is Kaito Kuroba, and he is Aoko Nakamori's neighbor.

The two families weren't particularly close; only their two children were somewhat on good terms.

After hearing Kaito Kuroba's words, Aoko Nakamori did not move at all, but stood still and asked a question in a rather calm manner.

"Kaito, how did you know my dad had some trouble and wouldn't be back tonight? Did you perhaps plant a tracking device on him?"

Nakamori Aoko speaks a bit bluntly, which makes Kuroba Kaito a little uncomfortable. The Nakamori Aoko of the past was definitely not like this.

"Aoko, isn't there a new thief called Phantom Thief Kid who recently made a comeback?"

"Your dad is the head of the cybercrime unit, so of course he has to deal with that situation. That's why I said he'd be working overtime and wouldn't be back so soon."

Kaito Kuroba explained his words, but Aoko Nakamori shook her head at him.

"Kaito, a thief like Kaito Kid, has nothing to do with us ordinary people."

Besides, Kaito Kid was a thief from over ten years ago; you definitely don't know anything about him, so why are you so interested in him?

Aoko Nakamori's question made Kaito Kuroba a little nervous, but he quickly gave an explanation.

"You know, I usually get a little fascinated by strange things."

Now that a phantom thief like Kid has suddenly appeared, of course I'll pay close attention. Besides, the news of Kid's comeback has been quite loud; everyone who follows this industry knows about it, so what I'm saying isn't excessive at all.

Hearing that Kaito Kuroba was still trying to defend himself, Aoko Nakamori felt a little disappointed.

If Kaito Kuroba had explained the situation to her directly at that moment, Aoko Nakamori would definitely have chosen to believe him.

However, this concealment is deception to Nakamori Aoko, indicating that her childhood friend has changed.

He can easily transform into other people's appearance and voice, so perhaps he's not even being his true self when he's with himself.

"Phantom Thief, you'll have to walk your own path from now on. I won't be able to accompany you anymore."

"What, my life..."

When Kuroba Kaito thought about responding, he was immediately stunned because Nakamori Aoko didn't call him Kaito but Phantom Thief.

In other words, Nakamori Aoko already knows his true identity, and the reason she is waiting here is because she wants to have a resolution with him.

"Qingzi, what's wrong with you..."

"Kaito, isn't it satisfying to completely humiliate my father, who works in the AI ​​Crime Division? It makes you seem so great."

Kaito Kuroba originally wanted to ask Aoko Nakamori how she knew his identity, but he didn't expect to be immediately questioned by Aoko Nakamori.

"You weren't even there, how would you know?"

Since that's the case, Kaito Kuroba decided to stop pretending and directly asked Aoko Nakamori how she knew about tonight's events.

Chapter 555 Nakamori Aoko's Persuasion

Kaito Kuroba can confirm that Aoko Nakamori was not among those present today.

Furthermore, since Ginzo Nakamori is still with the police and hasn't finished his shift, he certainly wouldn't call Aoko Nakamori on the way to explain the situation at the scene.

Even if Nakamori Aoko called Nakamori Ginzo to ask why he was working overtime, she would definitely come up with some excuse.

Therefore, it's clearly not scientifically sound that Nakamori Aoko knows all this so clearly.
