My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Kogoro Mouri was naturally unwilling to be suspected by others, so the two started to pull at each other. Fortunately, Ginzo Nakamori completed his verification and then let go.

In the end, Nakamori Ginzo even wanted Kogoro Mouri to test Conan's abilities, but Kogoro Mouri refused.

Kogoro Mouri had a fairly good impression of Conan, the little brat, and hoped that he would pursue a career in the police force when he grew up, so he explained why he did what he did.

Kaito Kid had no intention of getting involved; his gaze was fixed on the distance where Ichiro Takayanagi was meeting two other beautiful women.

These two are Tomoko Suzuki and Ayako Suzuki. Shiro Suzuki wasn't here today, so they are the representatives of the Suzuki Foundation.

To Kaito Kid's surprise, Ayako Suzuki, the first in line to inherit the Suzuki Foundation, gave Ichiro Takayanagi a big hug, demonstrating their close relationship.

From a distance, it was clear that Sonoko Suzuki, the second in line to the Suzuki Group, and Ichiro Takayanagi had a close relationship, like that of a boyfriend and girlfriend.

Now, Ichiro Takayanagi is hugging Tomoko Suzuki's eldest daughter right in front of her. Doesn't Tomoko Suzuki get angry?

Tomoko Suzuki was naturally not angry. The fact that Ichiro Takayanagi was able to hug Ayako Suzuki in such a public place meant that Ayako Suzuki held a certain place in Ichiro Takayanagi's heart.

Suzuki Tomoko then shook hands with Takayanagi Ichiro, welcoming him and the girls with him.

In fact, the two girls who were with Takayanagi Ichiro had already visited the Suzuki Foundation and left a very good impression on Suzuki Tomoko. Now, Takayanagi Ichiro is accompanied by Kasugano Sora.

This is a girl with white hair, which is quite rare.

However, Suzuki Tomoko did not inquire about Kasugano Sora's identity; her purpose this time was not to ask at all.

"Mr. Takayanagi, there are a few more people. Please come with me to the VIP room."

Instead of having her eldest daughter take on the role of entertaining guests, Tomoko Suzuki took the initiative to do so herself.

Sonoko Suzuki and Ayako Suzuki both knew that their mother wanted to make a good impression on Ichiro Takayanagi, and they did not stop her.

As for the other girls around Takayanagi Ichiro, they were quite surprised to see that even the head of the large conglomerate, Suzuki Tomoko, had this attitude.

However, two of them had met Tomoko Suzuki before and had a good impression of her, so they had no objections.

Kasugano Sora spent the shortest time with Takayanagi Ichiro, but she didn't have any objections.

After boarding this ship, he realized that the world was very different from what he had known.

Whether it's Sonoko Suzuki, who lives in Ichiro Takayanagi's house, or Tomoko Suzuki and Ayako Suzuki, whom she just met today, they all gave her a special feeling and were people she could spend a lot of time with.

Suzuki Tomoko personally came out to greet the group, which drew the attention of many people in the venue, but they did not seem to intend to interrupt.

Because Tomoko Suzuki was the hostess of this party, and most of the people she was hosting were girls.

Even if one of the men is one of them, he could very well be one of their boyfriends. There's no need to have any disputes with the Suzuki Group over such a trivial matter.

Tomoko Suzuki led Ichiro Takayanagi and his men to a small meeting room, which was quite elaborately decorated and clearly meticulously prepared.

At this moment, Sonoko Suzuki glanced at her older sister and received a wink in response, as if to say that her mother had put a lot of effort into this meeting.

"Mr. Gao Liu, I'm really sorry that my daughter's stay at your house has caused you a lot of trouble."

The two had discussed this matter before, but had not had an in-depth conversation. This time, in front of many girls, they once again expressed their gratitude to Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Many of my family members are girls who have just come from small towns and are not used to life in big cities."

With Ran and Sonoko joining, it's been a great help to them, and I should thank Sonoko.

Takayanagi Ichiro's words made Suzuki Sonoko proudly puff out her chest; she just wanted her mother to see her.

The boy she found on her own was exceptional; he always kept her in his heart.

Sonoko Suzuki's theatrical demeanor made the other girls want to laugh, but no one actually did, since most of them already knew about the relationship between Ichiro Takayanagi and Sonoko Suzuki.

"Mr. Takayanagi, it was thanks to you that the police were able to stop the Phantom Thief Kid from stealing our Suzuki Group's heirloom last time."

Sonoko and Ayako's father didn't come to the celebration today, so I should be the one to thank you.

Chapter 563 Mrs. Suzuki's Surprised Gaze

First, they thanked Ichiro Takayanagi, and then they began to introduce themselves.

She already knew Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi, and mainly introduced her eldest daughter, as well as the two girls next to Ichiro Takayanagi.

When they learned that Kasugano Sora was from a small town, neither Tomoko Suzuki nor Ayako Suzuki showed any disdain and greeted her normally.

Finally, both Tomoko Suzuki and Ayako Suzuki were somewhat surprised to learn that Aoko Nakamori was the daughter of Inspector Ginzo Nakamori.

The police can indeed bring people in, but that would easily strain their relationships with people.

Moreover, if it weren't for Ichiro Takayanagi revealing a lot of information to the police last time, the police might have lost a lot of face.

At that time, the Suzuki Group will be implicated, as the pressure from public opinion will be considerable.

Last time, the crowd was somewhat controlled, and the Suzuki Group's subsequent handling of public opinion prevented the matter from escalating significantly.

Now that Nakamori Ginzo has brought his daughter onto this cruise ship, could it be that they're planning a vacation?

“Mom, Nakamori is our friend, and we invited her over.”

When Sonoko Suzuki spoke up at this moment, taking advantage of the fact that Aoko Nakamori was her good friend, Aoko Nakamori began to look at Sonoko Suzuki in a different light.

Because of the Phantom Thief Kid incident, Nakamori Aoko and Suzuki Sonoko's relationship wasn't very good, at least not subconsciously.

If the hostess, Tomoko Suzuki, really wanted to pursue the matter, she could definitely kick Aoko Nakamori off the ship.

However, now that Sonoko Suzuki has said that Aoko Nakamori is her good friend, Tomoko Suzuki certainly can't do anything about it.

"Hello, Ms. Nakamori. I hope you have a good time on this ship."

As for your father's job, you don't need to worry about it. Even if Phantom Thief Kid isn't caught, the Suzuki Foundation won't have any objections.

Tomoko Suzuki's statement did not reassure Aoko Nakamori much, because Kaito Kid's provocation against the Suzuki Foundation was far too much, and the Suzuki Foundation would certainly not be so magnanimous.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mrs. Suzuki."

"Mom, did you call us in to tell us how you plan to deal with Phantom Thief Kid?"

Sonoko Suzuki didn't let the two continue with the formalities and directly asked Tomoko Suzuki why she had brought Ichiro Takayanagi over here.

In truth, Sonoko Suzuki knew what her mother was thinking.

Even if Ichiro Takayanagi is too outstanding, Tomoko Suzuki, having already learned about Eri Kisaki's situation, doesn't intend to fall too far behind.

Although Ayako Suzuki and Sonoko Suzuki can indeed team up at times, the lack of a powerful older sister figure by their side means they can't share much of Ichiro Takayanagi's love.

Tomoko Suzuki certainly loves her two daughters, and since there's a way to help them, she's naturally very willing to do so.

Of course, this was also because Suzuki Tomoko herself really wanted it; otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

After hearing Sonoko Suzuki's words, everyone's eyes fell on Tomoko Suzuki. They hadn't expected to hear such a shocking story.

Nakamori Aoko instinctively wanted to leave, after all, she knew the true identity behind the Phantom Thief Kid's mask.

If one day these people find out the true identity of Phantom Thief Kid, they will definitely think that she is tipping them off, and then everyone's relationship will be in big trouble.

However, Ran Mouri noticed Aoko Nakamori's actions and immediately shook her head slightly, indicating that she should not be nervous or take any action.

"Kaito Kid's target is Kuroko, the leader of our Suzuki Foundation, so I'll prepare plenty for him and see what he does."

In front of Ichiro Takayanagi, Tomoko Suzuki revealed her preparations.

It would be quite embarrassing to leave this situation unprepared and have the police or Ichiro Takayanagi handle it.

"Mom, we only have one piece of charcoal in our house. It's hanging around your neck right now. How could there be any others?"

Sonoko Suzuki is quite direct with her mother.

There can actually be quite a few black charcoal pieces, but the Suzuki Group's heirloom black charcoal piece is only one.

Previously, it had always been kept in the Suzuki family's collection room. This time, after Kaito Kid specifically requested this treasure, it was taken out and placed in the Beika Museum before being placed on Tomoko Suzuki's person.

After hearing Sonoko Suzuki's words, everyone's eyes turned to Tomoko Suzuki, and sure enough, they saw a black gemstone on her chest.

"Why do I feel like it doesn't quite look like something that's glittering with jewels?"

This is an evaluation from Kaoru Takayanagi. She had previously visited the Suzuki Foundation with Ran Mouri and left a good impression on Tomoko Suzuki, which is why her questions came so naturally.

Kasugano Sora and Nakamori Aoko could only listen. Although Suzuki Tomoko and the other two didn't exert any pressure, they also had their own principles.

The two of them spent very little time with Ichiro Takayanagi, and their relationship with Sonoko Suzuki wasn't particularly good, so it was best for them to sit quietly to the side.

Kaoru Takayanagi's words sounded a bit silly, but Ayako Suzuki offered an explanation.

Ayako Suzuki already knew that Ichiro Takayanagi had Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi by his side.

Ayako Suzuki knows quite a bit about Ran Mouri, after all, she and Sonoko Suzuki have been childhood friends for over ten years.

All that is known about Kaoru Takayanagi is that she is Ichiro Takayanagi's younger sister, and that she may very well be in competition with his sister in some matters.

But after hearing what Kaoru Takayanagi said, Ayako Suzuki felt that the girls around Ichiro Takayanagi were all very outstanding and could all receive her kindness.

"Xun, not all jewelry is dazzling and precious; some is understated yet luxurious."

Moreover, those things that look glittering and precious on the surface are very likely to be fake in the end, just like the things Mom prepared.

After Suzuki Ayako finished speaking, she pointed to a small box next to everyone.

Many people saw this box and assumed it was just a decoration, so they didn't pay much attention. Now they realize that it contains a gift from Suzuki Tomoko to Kaito Kid.

"Let me see what it is."

Sonoko Suzuki was very proactive, and Kaoru Takayanagi was also willing to help her.

After the two of them worked together to open the box, they both froze on the spot.

The other three girls who hadn't gone over were a little surprised, but they also had their own rules and didn't go to see what it was.

“So many jewels!” Kaoru Takayanagi said at this moment, revealing the contents of the box.

"Mrs. Suzuki, you wouldn't have prepared a fake piece of charcoal for all the guests who boarded the ship this time, so that Phantom Thief Kid would be busy searching for the real thing, would you?"

At this moment, Ichiro Takayanagi spoke up and shared his reasoning, and the other girls immediately saw the look of surprise on Tomoko Suzuki's face.

"Takayanagi-kun, you're amazing!"

Previously, both Sonoko Suzuki and Ayako Suzuki had said that Ichiro Takayanagi would not disappoint them, but Tomoko Suzuki was somewhat skeptical.

But now that the facts are unfolding before her eyes, she finally believes it.
