My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

She inherited her father's position and has been working here ever since; she's a very conscientious and responsible person.

At this point, Kenzo Akatsuka introduced Ichiro Takayanagi and Namika Senzaki to each other, his words subtly implying that he wanted to bring them together.

Senzaki Namika extended her hand to Takayanagi Ichiro, and the two shook hands briefly before letting go.

"It's just that he doesn't have any other skills and can only inherit my father's job here. He's not as outstanding as the butler said."

When Senzaki Namika saw Takayanagi Ichiroko, she thought he was a very handsome man, but she didn't feel particularly attracted to him because there was a barrier in her heart.

However, Ichiro Takayanagi is far too young. Is he really a detective?

However, Takayanagi Ichiro was personally invited by Akatsuka Kenzo, so even if there were to be doubts, it wouldn't be up to him, the chef, to have those doubts.

"Having a unique skill is difficult for many people, so it's already quite an achievement."

"Nappa, why don't you prepare some of your signature dishes today? We need to treat Mr. Takayanagi to a proper meal."

After Akatsuka Kenzo finished speaking, he took Takayanagi Ichiro to see the master here, while Senzaki Namika came to the side of the vehicle.

"Katsushi, is this guy really a famous detective? He looks like he just graduated from university."

Senzaki Namika and Watanabe Katsufumi are good friends, but they don't have any romantic feelings for each other, so they can speak very frankly.

"We originally wanted to go see the famous detective Kogoro Mouri today, who has just gained some fame, but Kogoro Mouri refused and then recommended Ichiro Takayanagi, who lives next door."

Mr. Takayanagi's idea was not to be a detective, but to run a credit agency.

I think the butler invited him over, most likely to discuss some business collaborations with the master, something more significant than handling previous paranormal incidents.

When Senzaki Namika asked him questions, Watanabe Katsufumi didn't hide anything and told her everything he knew.

"That's a little strange."

Takayanagi Ichiro was so young, yet he opened a loan agency.

There must be some powerful force supporting it behind the scenes, otherwise it would never have been able to start.

"Nippon, I'll go park the car now. I'm looking forward to your cooking tonight."

After finishing his sentence, Mian Yinsheng rolled up the car window and drove into the garage.

Watching the car disappear into the distance, Senzaki Namika took a long time to look away, because Watanabe Katsufumi and his younger brother looked so alike.

Unfortunately, Katsufumi Mianji's younger brother passed away thirteen years ago due to certain events.

Homework-loving Senzaki Namika has sealed away her inner feelings, and even when facing a handsome man like Takayanagi Ichiro, she doesn't feel much excitement.

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

Kenzo Akatsuka led Ichiro Takayanagi into the main house, where they saw an older woman cleaning.

There was also a small cart next to him, which contained many tools.

"Butler Akatsuka, are you looking for Grandpa and Madam?"

I just saw them in their dorm room on the third floor, but I'm not entirely sure where they are now.

This woman was quite familiar with Kenzo Akatsuka, and after learning why he had come, she shared the information she knew.

"In that case, I will take Mr. Gao Liu upstairs to meet the master and madam."

Kenzo Akatsuka, as the butler of this manor, had such authority, and then he immediately looked at the cleaning lady.

"Mrs. Shigeko, could you please straighten the painting on my left for me in a moment?"

I think it's tilted slightly to the right, about five centimeters. If it's asymmetrical, it looks unbalanced.

Chapter 693 Madam, your friend is quite something.

Everyone working at the manor was a friend, so Shigeko Senzaki wasn't angry at the time. She immediately went over and prepared to straighten the painting on the wall.

The main reason is that Shigeko Senzaki knows that Kenzo Akatsuka has a perfectionist obsession, so there's no need to argue with him.

Moreover, if they can manage their homes more perfectly, these workers will feel more at ease.

"Then trouble you."

Kenzo Akatsuka was very happy that the other party was able to work according to his requirements.

"Only through Mr. Takayanagi's continuous pursuit of perfection can we make our work environment even more perfect."

This way we can have a good working environment, and the owner of the estate will be happy to know.

Although Ichiro Takayanagi did not show any sign of doubt, Kenzo Akatsuka still offered some explanation.

His perfectionism easily provokes resentment from others, and Takayanagi Ichiro's keen observation led Akatsuka Kenzo to believe that he was also a perfectionist, which is why he explained so much.

"This is an internal matter of your manor and has nothing to do with me."

Of course, Ichiro Takayanagi wouldn't interfere with the operation of the manor, so he immediately followed Kenzo Akatsuka upstairs to meet the master and mistress.

The manor here is decorated very luxuriously, and there is no elevator, which means you have to walk up the stairs to get to the upper floors.

After going up to the second floor, turn a corner and you'll see the door to the third floor, but this door is a little strange.

The gate was red, and there was a device that looked like a landline phone next to it, making it look very high-tech.

"This gate must have been custom-made; it's completely out of place with the style of this manor."

"Yes, this gate was specially commissioned by the lady after she received that strange card. It has excellent security features."

Kenzo Akatsuka explained the origin of the red gate and led Ichiro Takayanagi to the gate's entrance.

"This is the keypad for opening this door."

After Akatsuka Kenzo finished speaking, he entered a six-digit password without any attempt to conceal it, as if he wasn't worried that the old man would remember it.

"After entering the password to open the door, I placed my index finger on the semiconductor fingerprint scanner next to me, and my identity was successfully verified."

Just as Kenzo Akatsuka finished speaking, a rather old voice came from inside.

"who are you?"

This door-opening device is likely connected to the telephone inside the room.

It must be said that the lady's friend is quite resourceful, managing to create such a high-tech gate.

"I am the butler Akatsuka. I have returned from Tokyo and brought with me a detective who is no less capable than Detective Mori."

"Okay, I'll open the door for you now."

After verifying Kenzo Akatsuka's identity, the person on the phone agreed to open the door.

Then, the red door in front of Takayanagi Ichiro shrank to both sides like an elevator, revealing the passageway.

Unfortunately, Kenzo Akatsuka didn't see any strange expression on Ichiro Takayanagi's face, which was enough to prove that Ichiro Takayanagi was indeed very knowledgeable.

Although he is a little young, his background is definitely not simple.

"Can anyone simply enter a password and verify their fingerprint to communicate with the people in this room?"

It couldn't be the detective recommended by Kogoro Mouri; he immediately got to the most crucial point.

"Of course not, only those who have registered their fingerprints in this manor can."

If any outsider were to do what I just did, it would be absolutely impossible to answer the phone inside, and it would also cause other security incidents.

This device seems like something out of a science fiction movie, but it's actually here in the manor.

"Butler Akatsuka, this isn't some kind of device from a science fiction movie."

Just then, a woman suddenly appeared and refuted Kenzo Akatsuka's words.

This woman is a bit older, but she clearly takes good care of herself and doesn't look very old.

Moreover, both the earrings and necklace she wore were very high-end, because she was the mistress of the house, Kuniyoshi Anrong.

"Fingerprint recognition devices are now installed in even ordinary apartments or buildings, but they haven't become widespread yet. Right now, they're just toys for the wealthy."

The woman, who had a somewhat mean-looking appearance, explained the purpose of the fingerprint scanner, as if she were mocking Kenzo Akatsuka, implying that the butler was out of touch with the times.

"This is Mrs. Anrong, the mistress of the Kuniyu family, and this is Mr. Takaryo Ichiro, the famous detective I invited from Tokyo."

Kenzo Akatsuka, the butler, was not angry because An'ei Kunitomo was the mistress of the house, and she was free to say whatever she wanted.

Furthermore, Kenzo Akatsuka didn't know much about fingerprint scanners, but they were indeed somewhat secure to use.

"Hello, Mr. Takayanagi."

Kuniyoshi An'ei reached out and grabbed Takayanagi Ichiro's hand, as if he had spotted some delicious prey.

After all, she's at the age where she's full of energy, and Takayanagi Ichiro is very handsome, making him the perfect person for someone her age.

It was because of this fondness that Kunimitsu Yasuo completely ignored the fact that Takayanagi Ichiro was too young to be worthy of the title of famous detective.

"The housekeeper entered the password online and verified the fingerprint. They must have then contacted the person in the room, which is why they were able to open the door."

If there's no one in the room, even if you've completed two steps, it's impossible to open the door.

Takayanagi Ichiro easily pulled his hand back. Women like Kunitomo An'ei were not within his hunting range. Now let's talk about what happened at the manor.

Guoyou Anrong felt a little regretful, but not disappointed.

Since Ichiro Takayanagi came here to resolve a problem, he certainly won't leave so easily; there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other later.

"Yes, if there's no one on the third floor, then no one can open the door."

Because my friend helped me set it up, only my husband's fingerprint can open the door from the inside.

The fact that Ichiro Takayanagi knows so much about fingerprint scanners proves that he is a detective who has embraced modern technology, and he might be able to help this family solve their problems.

Chapter 694 A Couple with Different Opinions

"Of course, if we don't have fingerprints, we can press the button next to the door to open it and leave if we're in this room."

If someone from outside rings the doorbell from here, it will immediately alert the insurance company, and they will send people over to investigate.

Kuniyoshi Yasuie offered a series of explanations to Takayanagi Ichiro, explaining that he didn't want Takayanagi Ichiro to do anything pointless.

If you provoke the insurance company people here, your insurance premiums will increase next year.
