Life in the other world begins at the Takayanagi family!

“The last time Detective Maori borrowed 10 million yen from me for investment, it seemed like something went wrong, so her daughter called me and asked to talk.

Could it be that you know the detective father and daughter next door? If so, I will have a good talk with you."

"President Takayanagi, I'm coming in."

Kisaki Eri didn't say anything at this time, she just hid under Takayanagi Ichiro's desk and chair, otherwise Mouri Ran might break in.

"Ms. Maori, I'm inside, please come in."

Ichiro Takayanagi also extended an invitation, otherwise it would be bad if Mori barged in.

Ran Mao Li, who was standing outside the door, knew that there was someone inside the office, so she said she wanted to come in because she wanted to get a response from inside.

Now that Takayanagi Ichiro had spoken, she pushed the door open directly without turning over the sign that Takayanagi Ichiro had hung up previously.

Because she also needs time and space to talk with Takayanagi Ichiro, and doesn't want others to disturb her.

After entering the room, I didn't see Ichiro Takayanagi in the reception hall, so I followed the sound and came to Ichiro Takayanagi's desk.

There were seats available opposite, so Mao Lilan found a seat and sat down.

Kisaki Eri, who was hiding under the desk, was shocked. Her daughter was too familiar with her. She now began to doubt the relationship between Takayanagi Ichiro and her daughter Mouri Ran.

"Ms. Maori, won't your father come over? After all, this is a loan he owes."

Mao Lilan is a very beautiful high school girl. When she visited the detective agency before, Takayanagi Ichiro gave her affirmation.

It's just that now Mao Lilan looks a little more haggard than before, which must be because of her father's 10 million yen loan.

Ichiro Takayanagi still doesn't want to get involved in this matter, which makes Ran Mouri a little touched.

But as the finance minister of the family, she has to come out and solve this problem.

"My father has other things to do, so it's inconvenient for him to come. It's the same for me to come and talk to President Gao Yanagi."

After Mao Lilan finished speaking, she suddenly moved her nose. She felt a strange smell in this space.

"President Gao Liu, don't you notice that your room has a strange smell?"

After hearing what Mao Lilan said, Takayanagi Ichiro immediately gave an answer in his heart.

Since he had just fought with Eri Kisaki here, it was normal for some smell to remain.

I didn't expect that her daughter, Ran Mao Li, would be the first to smell it. I have to sigh that they really have the same mind.

Of course, Ichiro Takayanagi would never give this most truthful answer.

“Because of my uncle’s funeral, I went back to my hometown for a few days.

I haven’t had time to clean up since I came back today, so it’s normal to have a little smell.”

After listening to Ichiro Takayanagi's explanation, Ran Mouri felt a little bit dissatisfied in her heart. This smell did not seem like the smell left over from not cleaning for a long time.

But this was Ichiro Takayanagi's personal matter after all, and it would be impolite for her to ask more questions.

But at this moment, Ichiro Takayanagi felt someone hit his knee. Only Eri Kisaki who was hiding on the desk could do this.

There was no need to have any communication with Eri Kisaki at all, and Ichiro Takayanagi also knew what Eri Kisaki wanted him to do.

"Ms. Maori, you told me on the phone before that there was a small accident with your father's loan investment. Can you explain it in detail?"

Eri Kisaki must want to know what Kogoro Mori did that caused her daughter Ran Mori to come here to talk to Ichiro Takayanagi.

Under the table, she was also sighing that she and Ichiro Takayanagi had such a good understanding. There was no need for detailed explanations, and Ichiro Takayanagi was able to do the right thing.

Ran Maoli found Takayanagi Ichiro's question a little strange.

But now she needed help from Takayanagi Ichiro, so she told him again about the problems his father Kogoro Mori had with his loan investment.

Such and such, such and such.

Because of Ran Mouri's questioning, Kogoro Mouri revealed some details, and now Ran Mouri is repeating it very clearly.

After listening to Ran Mouri's story, Eri Kisaki was so angry that her teeth were itching under the table.

Unexpectedly, this unreliable guy, Kogoro Mori, actually believed other people's lies about making money, and borrowed 10 million yen from Ichiro Takayanagi to invest, but in the end he lost all his money.

Although the man was caught, he couldn't get back the money he lost. He was really a stupid man.

And now that something has happened, he didn't come forward to resolve it, but instead asked his daughter, Ran Mouri, to come over. He is also an incompetent father.

At the beginning, Kisaki Eri also wondered whether Takayanagi Ichiro was setting up a trap to destroy their family and get her, the beauty.

However, Kisaki Eri immediately shook off this thought.

Because if there really is someone behind this, the police will definitely conduct an in-depth investigation.

After all, the victim was once a police officer, and the police will pay more attention to him.

Now that Ichiro Takayanagi has not received any summons or investigation, it proves that he is not the man behind the scenes.

“Ms. Maori, everyone has greed, it just depends on whether you can control it.

When Detective Maori asked me for a loan, he also wanted me to get rich with him, but I refused.

And he was advised that information that could be leaked so easily by others could not be true.

Now it seems that Detective Maori did not take my advice to heart."

After Takayanagi Ichiro finished speaking, he immediately started operating the computer in front of him, and the office fell silent for a short while.

Chapter 63: Eri Kisaki's Sacrifice and Submission for Her Daughter

Ichiro Takayanagi is not the mastermind behind the scenes. When Kogoro Mori came to him for a loan, he was able to persuade Kogoro Mori. This is enough to prove that Ichiro Takayanagi has a bottom line.

However, Kogoro Mori could not control his greed and thought that the information revealed to him by others was absolutely correct, so he borrowed 10 million yen from Ichiro Takayanagi to gamble.

In fact, the fact that lenders like Ichiro Takayanagi chose not to enter with him already explains a lot of problems. Unfortunately, Kogoro Mori was unable to listen to other people's advice.

As the mother of Maori Ran, she certainly knows very well what the scene is like in the Maori Detective Agency.

Not to mention 10 million yen, even 1 million yen is not even possible.

The last time my daughter called me, she must have been talking about Kogoro Mouri not coming home after losing money.

Moreover, Kisaki Eri believed that Kogoro Mori had absolutely no solution, because given his current situation, there was no way he could repay the loan except selling the house.

But what he should never do is let Kogoro Mori ask his daughter Ran Mori to solve this problem.

Mao Lilan is just a high school girl. It's good enough that she manages the family's finances. How can she afford a loan of 10 million yen?

Eri Kisaki trusts Ichiro Takayanagi more, but Ran Mouri doesn't trust Ichiro Takayanagi that much, although Ichiro Takayanagi turns out to be the type of person who is easier to talk to after they meet.

When communicating with his father before, Kogoro Mori also said that Ichiro Takayanagi had persuaded him before.

But Mao Lilan didn't see any evidence, and she was a little suspicious in her heart.

"Ms. Maori, I have the surveillance video of the conversation at that time. If you are interested, come and take a look."

Just as Takayanagi Ichiro extended an invitation to Mouri Ran, he felt his calf being hit again. The only person who could be found was Kisaki Eri, who was hiding under the desk.

"Let's keep it this way."

Seeing that Mao Lilan had stood up from her seat and walked over, Takayanagi Ichiro quickly turned the monitor and played the surveillance video.

This is also the record of the communication when Kogoro Mori came to Takayanagi Ichiro to borrow money. It can be clearly heard that Ichiro Takayanagi really persuaded Kogoro Mori sincerely.

Although Ichiro Takayanagi had turned the monitor around so that Ran Mouri could see the images clearly and hear the sounds without having to come over, Ran Mouri still came over to confirm it in person.

"President Takayanagi, I'm really sorry that I doubted you before."

Ran Mouri is a very straightforward person. Since she had bad suspicions about Ichiro Takayanagi before and now has evidence to prove that she was wrong, she will of course apologize to Ichiro Takayanagi.

"This loan is a matter between my father and me, and it shouldn't be handled by you, Miss Maori.

Even if your father doesn't show up, your mother can come forward.

I'd better discuss with the adults how to solve this problem, otherwise it will be like I'm bullying a high school girl."

After hearing what Takayanagi Ichiro said, Mao Lilan lowered her head and said in a low voice:

"My mother has been separated from my father for ten years, and she has been taking care of us secretly all these years.

But my mother has her own business, and I can’t ask her for help every time I encounter problems, so I want to try to solve it myself.”

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about this, but I still have the same attitude as before.

Let your father solve the problem. As a high school girl, you should focus on your studies.

And I believe that Detective Maori's current predicament is only temporary, and he will definitely grow up in the future.

Even if you mortgage the house to me during this incident, I can rent it to you and redeem it when I get rich."

Ichiro Takayanagi still maintained his previous attitude. He didn't want to involve the high school girl, Ran Mouri, and only wanted to talk to Kogoro Mouri, the person involved.

However, Hibiki Eri knew that her daughter treated everything at home as her own business.

Now that Kogoro Mori has lost his sense of responsibility, only Ran Mori has to come out to handle this matter.

So Kisaki Eri tapped Takayanagi Ichiro's foot lightly again, not very hard, as if she was making a request to Takayanagi Ichiro.

But this time, Ichiro Takayanagi did not indulge Kisaki Eri anymore. He stretched out his hand and placed it on Kisaki Eri's head under the table.

Kisaki Eri was a little confused. What exactly was Takayanagi Ichiro going to do?

You have to know that her daughter was standing outside, not even far away from her.

If Ran Mouri suddenly walked around the computer desk and came to the seat, she might be able to find Eri Kisaki hiding under the desk.

Eri Kisaki did not give in immediately. Instead, she wrote the word "daughter" on Takayanagi Ichiro's thigh, indicating that Ran Mouri standing outside was her daughter.

Ichiro Takayanagi was already very clear about this, but now that Eri Kisaki admitted it herself, he felt even more excited.

So he moved his whole body close to the gap between the desks, blocking Kisaki Eri inside.

Moreover, Takayanagi Ichiro showed no intention of loosening his hand and gently patted Kisaki Eri on the head twice.

She said that if Kisaki Eri cooperated, then this time when Mouri Ran came to discuss things in person, she would have something to discuss.

This made Hibari Eri a little angry. She didn't expect that her junior classmate would act like a rogue at this time.

But she knew that dragging it out was not a solution, and Mao Li might be affected.

So for the sake of his daughter, he had no choice but to give in.

As for that idiot Mouri Kogoro, I must divorce him secretly later. Such a person is not worthy of being a father.

Having made the decision, Eri Kisaki took action and moved directly between Takayanagi Ichiro's legs.

Previously, Ichiro Takayanagi and Eri Kisaki were a little perfunctory when they were packing up, so there was no need to make any preparations now.

"Thank you for the compliment, President Gao Liu. I know what kind of person my father is. He is not at the level you described."

Although she would be happy when someone praised her father, Mao Lilan also believed that her father did not deserve such praise.

“President Gao Liu, our office is our ancestral home that has been passed down from generation to generation, so we don’t want it to be mortgaged.

The main reason I came here today is to discuss a new repayment method with you. It doesn’t matter if the interest rate is a little higher.”

Ran Mouri told them the purpose of her coming here, which made Ichiro Takayanagi fall silent.

Chapter 64: Ms. Maori, Use Your Body to Pay the Debt

Of course, Mao Lilan knew that her request was a bit excessive, so when she saw Takayanagi Ichiro fell silent, she had no intention of urging him.

Because the loan period has expired, if Kogoro Mori cannot pay it back, he can only use the ancestral house to pay off the debt.

If Kogoro Mori refuses to comply, Ichiro Takayanagi can even ask a lawyer for help, or even apply for compulsory execution.

Mao Lilan didn't know how likely it was to succeed, but she still wanted to give it a try.

After all, she has lived in that house for so many years and has deep feelings for it.

Kisaki Eri, who was working under the table, also noticed Takayanagi Ichiro's hesitation.

She thought Takayanagi Ichiro was trying to take advantage of Mouri Ran, so she just bit her mouth lightly.

"hiss……"

Although Eri Kisaki was able to control her strength, this stimulation still made Ichiro Takayanagi gasp.
