Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Her response was Kaito Kuroba's absent-minded voice as he chewed on his rice.

"Oh dear, it seems like you don't care much, my dear son?" Kuroba Chikage glanced at her son and asked curiously.

“It’s not that I don’t care…” Kaito Kuroba sighed silently. “Little Wind Godfather has already won me over. I might as well quit being a phantom thief. Mom, the phantom thief career is all up to you.” (Bu)

516. The Phantom Thief Lady Returns to the Scene

Kuroba Chikage's eyes darted around, and she slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

"Don't worry, this time I'll leave everything to Mom. It's all of it."

Hmm? All of them?

Sensing something was amiss, Phantom Thief Kid suddenly snapped back to reality.

"Wait a minute, Mom, you're not planning to..."

"Hee hee~"

Kuroba Chikage triumphantly made a scissor gesture with both hands.

"Of course, it's time for the Phantom Thief Lady to make a comeback!"

……

It was 11:45 a.m., and under the still scorching early autumn sun, a black Audi sped along the road to Suzuki Airport, located on the other side of Tokyo.

Lin Xiaofeng sat in the driver's seat, still in charge of driving.

In the passenger seat, a girl with tiger teeth sat cross-legged rather restlessly, holding her phone and constantly scrolling through the latest breaking news while complaining.

"Honestly, it's a rare Sunday and I still have to be dragged out. Why don't you just go by yourself, Brother Xiaofeng?"

"not good."

"...why?"

"Because Sonoko also invited you over the phone."

Lin Xiaofeng held the steering wheel with his left hand and the gear shift lever with his right, a typical driving posture of a seasoned driver.

He glanced at Sera Masumi, who was looking down at her phone in the passenger seat. Due to the lingering heat of late summer, the girl with the tiger teeth was dressed in a cool and refreshing outfit as usual.

She wore a wide-strapped off-the-shoulder short-sleeved top that only exposed one shoulder, and distressed denim shorts that had been distressed before leaving the factory, revealing a pair of long, slender, and toned tan legs. She paired them with short socks, sneakers, and her short, neat black hair, creating a standard anime-style image of a tennis club girl.

"You invited me... Brother Xiaofeng, are you serious?"

Sera Masumi repeated the three words, put down her phone, turned around, and helplessly rubbed her forehead.

"Sonoko-san's behavior clearly suggests that she's not really interested in you, but rather has something to do with you, right?"

"I'm not sure, but she did invite you."

Lin Xiaofeng paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to the side again.

"Besides, you don't have any other plans for today anyway."

"Who said that!" Sera Masumi pouted, unconvinced. "I... of course I have other plans..."

"What arrangements?"

"At once……"

The girl with the tiger teeth got stuck again.

She's naturally a straightforward person. Under normal circumstances, she can't even make up a story, let alone lie. Asking her to make something up on the spot would burn out her CPU.

"See, there really wasn't any."

Lin Xiaofeng shrugged.

"Besides, it would be nice if the two of us went out and had some fun together on our own."

Upon hearing this, the girl with tiger teeth in the passenger seat was slightly taken aback. After a couple of seconds, she suddenly lifted her chin, turned her gaze to the outside of the car window, and muttered something under her breath.

"You know that too..."

"Huh? What did you say, Masumi?"

"It's nothing, go drive your car~"

Because Sera Masumi spoke so softly that he couldn't hear her at all, Lin Xiaofeng glimpsed the tiger-toothed girl's slightly upturned lips through the reflection in the car window, and she seemed to be in a pretty good mood, so he simply put his mind at ease.

As long as you're in a good mood, that's all that matters.

……

Ten minutes later, the black Audi arrived at Suzuki Airport, located in the suburbs of Tokyo, right on time.

The location here is indeed a bit remote. Just two months ago, this place was a wasteland overgrown with weeds, but now a private airfield has been built here, complete with runways, hangars, guard posts, and so on.

And in the center of the airfield is an olive-shaped airship so large it resembles a mobile aerial fortress.

Without its rapidly spinning propellers whipping up violent winds, it simply stood there quietly, making the several cars that had arrived earlier below appear as tiny as small fish surrounding a whale in the ocean, in stark contrast to its size.

As we drove up to the Suzuki airship, the overwhelming sense of awe became even more pronounced. The enormous, olive-shaped airbags blocked out the scorching sun, casting large shadows on the ground of the airfield.

Just like taking an airplane, the boarding gate of the airship also has a movable staircase leading straight up.

Garden was already waiting at the bottom of the stairs. When the brother and sister finally arrived, she raised her hand and waved.

"Xiaofeng~ Zhenchun~ You're finally here~"

"Yes, they're here!"

Finally freed from the confined space of the car, the free-spirited girl with tiger teeth flashed her usual bright smile as soon as she got out of the car and ran to greet him.

Lin Xiaofeng was a step behind. Just as he parked his car and arrived at the boarding gate, someone stepped out of the cabin door above the steps, accompanied by a familiar voice...

"Sonoko, are your classmates almost here? It's almost time for takeoff, isn't it?"

Looking up at the sound, the person who stepped off the airship was an old man who looked to be about seventy years old. Although he was bald on top and his eyebrows and beard were all white, he still looked energetic. His old eyes, which were full of crow's feet, were bright and his physique was robust.

With that physique, he could easily beat two or three college students who stay up all night playing games and never exercise with one hand.

"Ah, it's Uncle Jirokichi."

Sonoko recognized the person just by their voice and turned around to greet them.

"They've arrived. These are Zhenchun and Xiaofeng, whom I introduced before."

"Oh, so it's you guys!"

Upon hearing Lin Xiaofeng's name, Suzuki Jirokichi's face lit up noticeably.

He walked down the steps and stood in front of the three of them, letting out two loud, hearty laughs.

"I am Suzuki Jirokichi. Well, don't be too formal. Just call me Uncle Jirokichi like Sonoko and the others do."

"Oh right, speaking of which, our Garden Girl told me about you before, Xiao Feng. She said you defeated Kaito Kid in Osaka and later subdued Scorpion. You're quite the young talent! So, I'm entrusting this task to you and Detective 1.4 Mouri this time! Hahahaha!"

Uncle Mori?

Lin Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly.

That means...

Before she could finish speaking, Tomoko Suzuki's somewhat helpless voice rang out from the airship cabin door on the steps.

"Seriously, the airship is about to take off, why are you guys still chatting down there, Jirokichi-san?"

"That's right, I'll be there in a minute."

Hearing his younger siblings urging him from behind, Suzuki Jirokichi waved in response, then turned to Lin Xiaofeng and the others and smiled.

"Alright, it's about time we went up too."

At the same time, Mrs. Suzuki's voice came again from the cabin door.

"Sonoko, you two go to the restaurant with Uncle Jirokichi first. Kaze, come with me for a bit, I have some things to tell you."

"Oh, okay..."

517. Suzuki Tomoko, an office lady in black stockings

Only after entering the airship can one truly appreciate the sheer size of the Suzuki, which is hailed as the "world's largest airship."

If a comparison had to be made, the lowest level of the Suzuki's operational area would be similar to that of the Sallybeth, which was used to celebrate the Suzuki Foundation's 60th anniversary.

However, the Sallybeth, as a luxury cruise ship, can only operate at sea, while this Suzuki has been equipped with an extra-large airbag that is dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the main body for flight, allowing it to soar through the sky.

There should be other areas above this lowest level, but we'll have to explore those later.

Sera Masumi and Sonoko, led by Suzuki Jirokichi, went to the restaurant area first to meet up with Kogoro Mouri and the others who had already arrived.

Lin Xiaofeng was led to the other side by Suzuki Tomoko... Actually, he didn't know where they were going, he just followed along.

The two walked one after the other through a spacious and quiet corridor that resembled the interior of a government administration building. To their right were windows that let in bright sunlight, while to their left were rows of offices.

And at the end of the corridor is a huge office with double doors, but the doors are closed now, so you can't see what's inside.

Suzuki Tomoko walked ahead throughout the entire process, leaving Lin Xiaofeng with only a beautiful view of her back.

Today, she changed back into her usual business attire: a fitted women's blazer paired with a bodycon OL skirt, the black glossy material subtly outlining her shape like a ripe peach, and slightly sheer black stockings paired with red high heels.

Wait, why is it peach-shaped?

I hadn't seen it when I first boarded the airship.

Oh right, when we first boarded the airship, Tomoko Suzuki kept covering her eyes with her hand, so you really couldn't see her.

That means...

Seemingly realizing something extraordinary, a flash of lightning struck Lin Xiaofeng's mind, and a small exclamation mark appeared above his head.

Mrs. Suzuki.

"Ok?"

Hearing the boy's voice behind her, Suzuki Tomoko did not turn around, but asked in a slightly raised, nasal tone.

But because this question was too explosive, Lin Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Mrs. Suzuki, you wouldn't be... wearing nothing underneath today, would you?"

"Ah, we've been discovered?"

Without any hesitation, Tomoko Suzuki readily admitted this.

Before Lin Xiaofeng could recover from the shock of the massive amount of information, she suddenly stopped and turned 180 degrees clockwise with a dexterity that shouldn't be seen on high heels, her right toes barely touching the ground.

Lin Xiaofeng reacted quickly and immediately stopped, but the two were already very close, and Suzuki Tomoko's movements were completely unexpected, so they still bumped into each other... by a tiny bit.

In the long, narrow corridor where no one else was around, Suzuki Tomoko slightly raised her face, her alluring eyes, framed by a beauty mark, meeting Lin Xiaofeng's gaze as he looked down at her. She smiled and raised her index finger to touch the boy's lips.

"Well, I was planning to give you a big surprise once we got to the office, but since I've been discovered here, there's nothing I can do about it."

After lunch, Suzuki Ichitomo said, "I started to stir with my fingertips... Dad... It was like using the most delicate and gentle touch to prepare a rich and aromatic cocktail." After a long while, they slowly separated, seemingly reluctant to part.

A faint blush spread across Tomoko Suzuki's exquisite face. She licked her lips as if she hadn't had enough, and her index finger lightly touched her skin as it slid down to her collarbone.

Sunlight filters through the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere—a serene afternoon.

"Come on, we don't have much time today, so let's not waste it."

"Um……"

Lin Xiaofeng responded by wrapping his arms around the woman's firm yet supple waist.

This is indeed a huge office, with an estimated area of ​​over 80 square meters. In front of you is a large desk, and on both sides against the walls are solid wood bookshelves that reach the ceiling. Next to the bookshelves are potted plants in blue and white porcelain flowerpots.

The environment is typically spacious and bright, filled with natural light. Instead of heavy curtains, simple white sheer curtains are used, allowing sunlight to stream in freely and creating a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. The indoor air is fresh, maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity. An air purifier is installed to filter dust and bacteria, providing a healthy working environment.

A delicate, well-maintained hand, as fair and supple as a young girl's, placed a disposable cup with a few red marks on its rim on the desk. The owner of that hand—Tomoko Suzuki—sat in the boy's lap in a princess carry. Her legs, stripped of their black stockings, dangled from the knees over the armrests of the executive chair, her shapely toes exposed to the air.

"What a pity. If only we had more time, Jirokichi would probably have already finished showing Detective Mori and the others the Sky Observatory and were coming down from there."

"They've all arrived?"

Tomoko Suzuki gave a charming hum: "Don't you even look at the time... Well, there's no rush, there should still be some time."

"By the way, didn't President Suzuki come today?"

"No~"

After a summer rain, the sun breaks through the clouds, finally revealing its full face. The sunlight, though direct, is not dull or monotonous; it weaves through the branches, creating golden threads that string the raindrops into a string of golden pearls. The rare coolness of summer, combined with the beautiful sunshine, is refreshing and invigorating.
