My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

As for the matter of Phantom Thief Kid, let him handle it himself.

...........

Suzuki Group.

Ayako Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki stayed at home, while Sonoko Suzuki stayed at Ichiro Takayanagi's house, and Shiro Suzuki showed no intention of returning.

"Mom, this time it was the thief Kaito Kid who outsmarted the entire police force and our Suzuki Foundation's security forces."

Sonoko just called to explain how Kaito Kid escaped and said that Ichiro will be attending the 100th anniversary celebration this weekend.

If Phantom Thief Kid really tries to continue his evil deeds, Ichiro will step in and capture him.

After starting her own business, Ayako Suzuki discovered some difficulties, so she would occasionally return to her home to consult with Tomoko Suzuki about her career.

Tomoko Suzuki did not object to her daughter's actions, because she believed that only by experiencing things firsthand could her daughter grow up faster.

If Tomoko Suzuki were to enter the upper echelons of the Suzuki Group at this time, it would not be of much benefit to her future development.

Chapter 559 Mom, Takayanagi-kun will satisfy you.

If Ayako Suzuki had entered the Suzuki Group for an internship and management from the beginning, she would have been at best a guardian of the city, and would not have had much future development.

But now Ayako Suzuki is starting her own business and comes back to consult her mother when she encounters difficulties, which is a completely different growth model.

In fact, Tomoko Suzuki had mentioned before that she wanted to raise her eldest daughter in this way, but initially she still planned to arrange a marriage between the two conglomerates.

However, she eventually realized that her idea was wrong, and that raising her own daughter was the easiest thing to do.

Especially after her relationship with Ichiro Takayanagi, Ayako Suzuki's transformation has been remarkable, and she now exhibits signs of becoming a strong, independent woman.

As for his youngest daughter, Sonoko Suzuki, she completely embodies the style of Jiro Suzuki, and doesn't care about anything related to the Suzuki Group.

However, she would also offer some advice when the Suzuki Group encountered a crisis.

For example, they asked Kogoro Mouri, a detective, for help, and now they've received assistance from Ichiro Takayanagi.

If the Suzuki Group really wanted to focus all its efforts on dealing with a petty thief, it would be a very simple matter; it would just require the consent of the majority.

However, Ichiro Takayanagi's abilities were truly remarkable. He immediately recognized that Kaito Kid's escape method was incredibly clever, and Tomoko Suzuki began to look forward to their weekend meeting.

The last time I went to Takayanagi Ichiro's office, I simply greeted him and saw if he was someone my daughter could entrust her life to.

Now that her eldest daughter has fallen for it, Tomoko Suzuki is also planning to try it herself.

"I believe Sonoko is not exaggerating at all, which means that Takayanagi-kun is indeed able to see through Kaito Kid's techniques."

Your father also called me to explain that he will not be hosting the Suzuki Foundation's 100th anniversary celebration, but will instead continue his treasure hunt outside.

As for the Suzuki family heirloom, he entrusted it to me; he believed the police would handle it.

When Tomoko Suzuki spoke of Shiro Suzuki, she didn't show much emotion, because Shiro Suzuki had changed so much.

Previously, Shiro Suzuki had great ambitions and was prepared to lead the Suzuki Group to further development.

However, in recent years he has followed in his elder brother's footsteps and engaged in some collecting activities outside, completely handing over the affairs of the Suzuki Group to Suzuki Tomoko.

Tomoko Suzuki did not disappoint the others in the Suzuki Group, leading the entire group to another step forward.

Even if Shiro Suzuki were to return to the Suzuki Group now, he probably wouldn't be able to shake Tomoko Suzuki's position.

However, their family hasn't reached that point yet, so Suzuki Shiro can continue to enjoy himself outside; there's no need for him to come back.

After starting her own business, Ayako Suzuki gradually came to understand her mother, Tomoko Suzuki. So, instead of offering words of comfort, she decided to take concrete actions.

"If Kaito Kid is going to do something risky again this weekend, then let Sonoko ask Takayanagi-kun to take action and arrest the thief directly."

Having a thief constantly bothering the Suzuki Group is quite annoying for them, so it's better to just catch the thief directly.

The police were obviously unreliable, and the Suzuki Group's security forces were also not very capable, so they could only place all their hopes on Ichiro Takayanagi.

This made Ayako Suzuki a little proud, because Ichiro Takayanagi was the man she had chosen.

Although there is a sense of competition with her younger sister, the two will never have any dirty dealings.

On the contrary, they will try their best to cooperate, even to the point of involving Tomoko Suzuki.

This wasn't really an entanglement; rather, it was Tomoko Suzuki who wanted to get involved.

"Alright, then let's wait and see how that man performs this weekend."

Tomoko Suzuki wasn't referring to Kaito Kid here, but rather Ichiro Takayanagi. If Kaito Kid could be arrested in front of her, then Ichiro Takayanagi would do whatever he asked.

"Mom, Takayanagi-kun will definitely not let you down."

...........

Before they knew it, it was the weekend. Takayanagi Ichiro brought his family to the Suzuki Foundation's 100th anniversary celebration party.

This matter was brought up a long time ago, but Ichiro Takayanagi was never available, yet he still agreed to it first.

After making arrangements for his own affairs, he was able to bring a large group of people to Yokohama Port.

This cruise ship departs from Yokohama Port and then goes to Tokyo, making it practically a floating prison.

Takayanagi Ichiro, accompanied by several beautiful young girls and a mature woman, attracted a lot of attention along the way, even encountering Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa.

"Detective Mouri, it seems your career is on the rise."

Your attendance at this gathering today signifies that you have gained the approval of the Suzuki Foundation.

If you can gain more attention from financial groups at this conference, your business will definitely be more successful.

Upon hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, Mori Kogoro was overjoyed, never expecting that attending this gathering would have such an effect.

He originally intended to continue clinging to the Suzuki Group's coattails and had no intention of trying to curry favor with anyone else.

But now that Lao De has said this, he feels it's entirely feasible, because the Suzuki Group is so large in Thailand that it's impossible for them to need the resources of a famous detective like him anytime, anywhere.

However, it's different for some smaller conglomerates. They might need your help in more situations, and your business could really take off even further.

"Mr. Takayanagi, you really have excellent taste."

If you were to run a large firm, it might eventually become a huge conglomerate.

Since Ichiro Takayanagi's suggestion was helpful to him, Kogoro Mouri went on to flatter him, causing the high school girls around Ichiro Takayanagi to frown slightly.

"I don't need a lot of wealth, just enough to support myself and the people around me."

Takayanagi Ichiro's response was endorsed by several high school girls, who surrounded him even more closely, worried that Mouri Kogoro would lead him astray.

Seeing the reaction of the female high school students, Kogoro Mouri also felt a little innocent.

He only recently gained his freedom; before that, he was very well-behaved, because Ran Mouri's fists are not to be trifled with.

Chapter 560 The Daughter's Betrayal?

Although Kogoro Mouri used to dare to play pachinko outside or drink until late, he always made sure to come home.

If I stay out overnight, my daughter will definitely question me.

Now that Ran Mouri has moved in with Ichiro Takayanagi, they no longer need to interfere in his life, otherwise he would have developed depression.

"Well, Mr. Takayanagi, some of your attitudes are things we can't learn."

So we need to go through security and get onto the cruise ship first, so we can set up some traps to wait for Phantom Thief Kid to arrive.

If I continue to stay with Takayanagi Ichiro, he might see or hear more things that make me feel bad.

After all, given the relationship between his daughter and his father, Kogoro Mouri had some guesses.

However, Ran Mouri was the one who went to pay off the debt on her behalf, and Ran's mother knew this perfectly well, even writing a statement to testify to this.

Since Ran's mother had no objections, he wouldn't interfere.

Conan, that little rascal, wanted to stay by Takayanagi Ichiro's side and observe him more closely, but Kogoro Mouri forcibly took him away.

Let alone the current elementary school student Conan, even the high school detective Shinichi Kudo would be no match for Ichiro Takayanagi, a fact that Kogoro Mouri is well aware of.

If Conan were to lose face at this moment, it would be a huge blow to his reputation.

Kogoro Mouri left with Conan, leaving the high school girls feeling somewhat bored.

They were also hoping that Conan would jump out and challenge Takayanagi Ichiro, and then get defeated by him.

"Let's go, it's time for us to get on the ship."

After finishing speaking, Takayanagi Ichiro prepared to lead several female high school students onto the ship, but immediately heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Officer Chaki, immediately stop this very convenient way of checking."

You've already experienced what kind of abilities Kaito Kid possesses, haven't you?

This kind of inspection was completely insignificant to him; he could easily slip onto the ship.

This is the voice of Ginzo Nakamori, who is making his demands to Officer Chaki, believing that the inspections on board should be more rigorous.

The abilities that Phantom Thief Kid displayed last time truly surprised the police.

However, after Ginzo Nakamori shared the methods used by Kaito Kid, they also had a way to deal with it.

"Inspector Nakamori, now that we know that Phantom Thief Kid didn't escape using any outrageous methods, but rather by taking advantage of the principle of 'the darkest place is under the lamp,' we now have a chance to deal with Phantom Thief Kid."

Furthermore, we cannot proactively raise the level of this inspection, because the attendees at this gathering are all well-known figures in society, and we cannot act rashly.

Furthermore, if we were to cancel the banquet out of fear of Phantom Thief Kid, it would affect the reputation of our police force.

Don't worry, it will take about three hours for this cruise ship to reach Higashi-Shin-Gang after it leaves Yokohama Port.

This ship is like a prison at sea; even if that guy is really hiding on board, he's like a turtle in a jar.

Officer Chaki was the first person to be imitated by Phantom Thief Kid last time. He also harbors a strong hatred for Phantom Thief Kid, so he plans to personally capture Phantom Thief Kid and bring him to justice.

However, Officer Chaki is not from the Traffic and Intelligent Crime Division; he is a regular criminal police officer, so he and Ginzo Nakamori have a slight conflict of interest.

If he could catch Phantom Thief Kid, then there would be no need to give up the credit.

Ginzo Nakamori was fully aware of Inspector Chaki's scheme, but he couldn't afford to turn against Inspector Chaki at this moment, because he would need the cooperation of the Intelligent Crime Division and the General Criminal Investigation Division later.

"Mouri-kun, you've come too."
