My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Suzuki Tomoko only briefly mentioned her plan, and Takayanagi Ichiro only heard one comment from his sister before guessing that what she wanted to do was truly amazing.

Of course, having this kind of reasoning ability does not mean that Ichiro Takayanagi is a unique detective; it's just that Ichiro Takayanagi has an added halo in Tomoko Suzuki's eyes.

Therefore, in Tomoko Suzuki's view, Ichiro Takayanagi's ability to make such a deduction is quite remarkable.

"Mom, it seems you're quite playful. You've even fought so many fake versions of Kaito Kid for him."

At that moment, Sonoko Suzuki picked up several boxes and stuffed them into the hands of Ran Mouri and the others.

They were uploaded along with Sonoko Suzuki, so they didn't receive a gift box.

Now that she knows how fun this is, Sonoko Suzuki is naturally unwilling to miss out.

Sonoko Suzuki had one too, but when she wanted to give one of the black charcoal pieces to Ichiro Takayanagi, Tomoko Suzuki stopped her.

“Sonoko, there’s no need for Mr. Takayanagi to give him the black charcoal, because I would like to invite Mr. Takayanagi to protect the black charcoal on my person.”

When Suzuki Tomoko made this request, her gaze fell on the voices of Ran Mouri and the other girls.

His two daughters wouldn't object to his actions, but if Ran and the other girls disagreed, it would be a bit troublesome.

“Okay, as my older brother said before, he won’t let the Suzuki Group come into any danger.”

Now that Aunt Tomoko wants her older brother to protect her, he will definitely agree.

Kaoru Takayanagi was the first to express her opinion, after all, she had a good relationship with Sonoko Suzuki.

When Ran Mouri and I visited here last time, we received a warm welcome and some gifts.

Therefore, Kaoru Takayanagi has a very favorable impression of the Suzuki Group.

“Kaito Kid’s actions were a bit excessive; he should be taught a lesson.”

At this point, Ran Mouri also expressed his opinion that Kaito Kid should indeed be taught a lesson.

Otherwise, if he continues to be arrogant, it will affect a large number of people. If someone imitates his actions, then it will be a loss.

Ran Mouri is the daughter of a former police officer, so she doesn't really like people who break the law.

Kasugano Sora and Nakamori Aoko naturally had no objections, as their status was relatively lower.

It's already a good thing that the Suzuki Group doesn't discriminate against them; there's no need to antagonize the Suzuki Group.

"After this is over, you will receive a batch of real jewelry, which will definitely be much more valuable than these imitations."

It's time for me to go on stage, so I'd better go outside for a bit.

However, from now on, Mr. Takayanagi will be by my side to protect my jewelry.

Suzuki Tomoko made this promise, and the other girls had no objections. Then they all came out of the small private room together.

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

Many eyes had been on Takayanagi Ichiro before, and now that they saw him coming out with the girls, those eyes immediately shifted to him.

They were quite surprised to see several girls wearing black pearls, and some of them had already guessed what was going on.

However, the emcee on stage has already finished the opening remarks and is now inviting Tomoko Suzuki, the head of the Suzuki Group tonight, to the stage.

Several girls stayed on stage, while Ichiro Takayanagi accompanied Tomoko Suzuki onto the stage.

"Isn't that man the boyfriend of one of those girls? How come he's walking with Mrs. Suzuki?"

"You know what, Mrs. Suzuki's outfit tonight is extremely elegant, and she and this man actually match quite well, they seem to be a good match."

"Are you out of your mind? President Suzuki is still alive and well. If he heard you say something like that, he could definitely cut off your company's finances."

"Tch, President Suzuki hasn't been home for a long time. There must be something wrong with their relationship."

Besides, aren't today's young people appealing? Why should we be fixated on just one particular flower?

Many people in the collecting community know that Shiro Suzuki has been obsessed with collecting for the past two years.

Furthermore, they didn't believe that Shiro Suzuki was really going to collect things; he was just looking for an excuse to go out and have a good time.

No matter how elegantly Tomoko Suzuki dresses, her age is undeniable, which easily arouses men's aversion.

However, it might attract some young, attractive men, since those people are eager to take shortcuts.

When he gets entangled with a rich woman, he'll definitely become obsessed.

Those who were discussing the matter fell silent when they saw Nakamori Ginzo and Mori Kogoro arrive, because they all knew who these two people were.

They provided more guidance on Nakamori Ginzo's identity, as they were all from this circle and some rumors spread quickly.

As for the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, I had never heard of him before, but I will definitely pay more attention to him in the future.

"How come Takayanagi Ichiro is walking with Mrs. Suzuki? Have they met before?"

Ginzo Nakamori could sense that Ichiro Takayanagi and Sonoko Suzuki had a good relationship and that Takayanagi was very likely to become the son-in-law of the Suzuki Group.

But seeing how Ichiro Takayanagi and Tomoko Suzuki are getting along now, it feels like they are the real couple.

"It's really enviable."

Kogoro Mouri made no attempt to hide his envy of Ichiro Takayanagi, but he did not answer the question about Kaito Kid.

Only by being very close to Ichiro Takayanagi can one truly understand the charm he possesses.

These girls who were with Takayanagi Ichiro were just the tip of the iceberg; Takayanagi Ichiro must have had many other mistresses outside.

Unfortunately, his daughter is currently paying off her debts at Takayanagi Ichiro's office, otherwise he could ask Takayanagi Ichiro for advice on how he has such abilities.

"Detective Mouri, now is not the time to admire others, but to think about how to catch that thief, Kaito Kid."

Your reputation has indeed risen recently, but if you can catch the notorious thief, your career will definitely take a leap forward, and you'll become a famous detective.

At this moment, Nakamori Ginzo interrupted Mouri Kogoro's envy and made a suggestion to him, which as expected aroused Mouri Kogoro's interest.

As a police officer in the Intelligence Crime Division, he certainly knew how to speak in a way that would attract attention.

Chapter 565 Mrs. Suzuki's Sarcasm

Kogoro Mouri was intrigued, but before he could respond, Tomoko Suzuki had already taken to the stage to give her speech.

"Hello everyone, I am Tomoko Suzuki, the host of this gathering. The reason we are gathered here today is because our Suzuki Foundation has now entered its 100th anniversary."

I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for your support and encouragement to our foundation. I hope that all five hundred guests attending today's gathering will have a wonderful time and fully enjoy this grand and elegant event.

Tomoko Suzuki first thanked the guests, and then the tone changed abruptly.

"Before the banquet begins, I want to tell you all about an idea I've come up with."

Tomoko Suzuki's sudden change of topic certainly piqued the interest of many people, and the presence of a young man beside her that evening only fueled their curiosity, making them eager to hear what she had to say.

Then Suzuki Tomoko held up a red box and began to explain its origin.

"When I uploaded it, I told everyone to give this box to each guest present. Now please open it."

To be honest, this was just a small challenge I was giving to that foolish thief.

After hearing Suzuki Tomoko's words, the guests below opened the boxes they had received, revealing an incredible rope.

"What……"

"This is……"

They had obviously seen what was inside the box, which shocked them greatly.

Meanwhile, Tomoko Suzuki raised the box in her hand on stage, directly above her head, as if declaring war on Kaito Kid.

"That's right, this is the heirloom of our Suzuki Group, which is also the Dark Star, the main target of Phantom Thief Kid tonight."

Upon learning from Tomoko Suzuki that it truly was a family heirloom of the Suzuki Group, the people below were even more astonished.

Some even held the object up to examine it closely, as if trying to determine if what they held in their hands was the real thing.

"Of course, there is only one true dark star, and only I know who I entrusted the treasure to."

The others all received replicas, but even though they are replicas, they were painstakingly crafted by our Suzuki Foundation, which gives them a certain collectible value. Consider them a small gift.

Alright, everyone, now please pin this pearl to your chest so that the thief can see the pearls you're wearing. If he really can steal it, then let him sneak a peek.

However, success hinges on the fact that within three hours of the ship being at sea, we, the thief, must determine which one is genuine.

All the guests were stunned. They never expected that Tomoko Suzuki could come up with such a plan, which could actually curb the arrogance of Kaito Kid.

So they all laughed and came in, and some even praised Suzuki Tomoko's ingenious plan.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Suzuki to have such a clever idea, but I don't think it can stump that thief Kaito Kid. His intuition and recognition of jewelry are extremely impressive."

At this point, Nakamori Ginzo praised Suzuki Tomoko's idea, but did not believe that it would be enough to trap Kaito Kid.

"Inspector Nakamori, didn't your subordinates tell you that your attitude towards Phantom Thief Kid is not like that of a robber, but rather like that of a familiar junior colleague?"

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri expressed the emotions he felt, causing Ginzo Nakamori to fall silent.

After the last museum incident, when he reported to the highest-ranking police official, he did receive such a reminder.

If they hadn't wasted time talking to Kaito Kid and had just arrested him directly, they would have succeeded long ago.

The fact that even former police officer Kogoro Mouri is saying this means that his problem is quite serious.

However, Nakamori Ginzo will not admit that he has a problem. Instead, he will continue to insist on his actions until he successfully captures Kaito Kid.

"I have some questions for Mrs. Suzuki. Detective Mouri, you can go do your own thing."

After finishing his speech, Nakamori Ginzo immediately walked towards the main stage, because Suzuki Tomoko had already begun to say goodbye.

"Everyone, please enjoy this party now. We'll wait for the thief to walk right into our trap."

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

Seeing Takayanagi Ichiro, who was always by Suzuki Tomoko's side, Nakamori Ginzo was quite surprised.

After the last incident, he did some research on Takayanagi Ichiro and found nothing amiss. He only knew that Takayanagi Ichiro had a good relationship with several girls.

However, Ginzo Nakamori wouldn't concern himself with such matters, because one of them was Ichiro Takayanagi's sister, and the others were either heirs to the Suzuki Group or daughters of Kogoro Mouri, the detective. He couldn't care less about them.

Ichiro Takayanagi and Tomoko Suzuki have a good relationship now, and the two look very well-matched together.

If the president of the Suzuki Group hadn't still been alive, Nakamori Ginzo might also have suspected that Suzuki Tomoko was trying to seduce a younger man.
