My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

When faced with criminal cases, Shinichi Kudo can handle them with ease and continue to solidify his reputation as a high school detective.

However, when faced with other emotional situations, Shinichi Kudo displays a completely different level of ability, almost the opposite of what he seems.

"It was Xiaolan who told her mother; I was just there at the time."

The senior student rejected Xiaolan's suggestion to go out with you. Even though Xiaolan didn't mention your name at the time, the senior student guessed that you were there.

But after I persuaded her, my senior agreed to go to the amusement park with Xiaolan to celebrate.

But Xiaoxun and I have to come along, otherwise she'll be worried.

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's explanation, Kudo Shinichi felt very uncomfortable.

Ran Mouri hadn't told him whether the weekend went smoothly or not, but now she actually got the answer from Ichiro Takayanagi.

It's a happy thing that Ran Mouri was finally able to go to Dorothy's amusement park with him to celebrate.

But if Takayanagi Ichiro and that girl from today were with him, wouldn't they be either third wheels or surveillance personnel arranged by Eri Kisaki?

Shinichi Kudo wanted to refuse this arrangement, but he didn't say it aloud.

He knew that if he refused, he could forget about going to the amusement park with Ran Mouri.

Who exactly is Ichiro Takayanagi? How come he was present when Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki were discussing something?

He couldn't get any information from Ichiro Takayanagi, so he could only go to the Mouri Detective Agency to talk to Ran Mouri.

Without saying goodbye to Ichiro Takayanagi, Shinichi Kudo turned and left, his destination being the Mori Detective Agency, which was not far away.

Although in the past, Kogoro Mouri would treat him like an enemy.

However, Shinichi Kudo now believes that he and Kogoro Mouri have a common enemy, namely Ichiro Takayanagi, and that they might have something in common to say.

Shinichi Kudo took his leave rudely, but Ichiro Takayanagi didn't seem to mind.

He turned around and went straight into his office, closing the door behind him.

They were almost at the Mouri Detective Agency when they heard the commotion and Shinichi Kudo turned around to take a look.

I noticed that Ichiro Takayanagi had completely closed all the doors. Was he planning to let Ran Mouri stay overnight at his office?

This made Shinichi Kudo feel very uncomfortable, as if a hat was about to be placed on his head.

However, he currently has no official status and cannot go to call Ran Mouri back, so he can only talk to Kogoro Mouri first.

By using Kogoro Mouri's identity, we might be able to bring Ran Mouri back.

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

"Brother Gao Liu, why were you gone for so long?"

Ran Mouri and the others had already cleaned up the dinner dishes, and she already knew that Sonoko Suzuki had left the office, and it was Ichiro Takayanagi who had seen her off.

However, it seems that Ichiro Takayanagi was gone for a rather long time. This was more than enough time for Ichiro Takayanagi to go to the detective agency next door and have a chat with Kogoro Mouri.

"After I saw Sonoko off, a high school student stopped me and we talked about Ran and your issues."

Ran Mouri was taken aback after hearing what Ichiro Takayanagi said.

Then he immediately realized that the person Takayanagi Ichiro had met was Kudo Shinichi.

"How did Shinichi end up here?"

This morning, Shinichi Kudo called Kaoru Takayanagi a country bumpkin, which made Ran Mouri very angry.

So I didn't have any interaction with Shinichi Kudo at school today.

After school, three female high school students came here together, but there was no trace of Shinichi Kudo.

"That high school student must have been staking out outside for quite a while, seeing you come out of the detective agency, Ran."

Furthermore, she knew that Xiaolan hadn't left my firm, and even questioned my relationship with you.

Takayanagi Ichiro's words made Mouri Ran frown immediately.

Chapter 118 Kogoro Mouri forces Shinichi Kudo to drink.

Shinichi Kudo had been secretly observing for so long, and even questioned Ichiro Takayanagi about their relationship.

It's important to know that although she and Shinichi Kudo were childhood friends, they had no other relationship and had never confessed their feelings to each other.

Therefore, Shinichi Kudo's questioning of Ichiro Takayanagi was unreasonable and made Ran Mouri feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Ran Mouri is a separate entity, not someone's appendage, or someone with her own independent thoughts.

"I want to go see what Shinichi is talking to my dad about."

Ran Mouri wanted to leave this place so that she could give Shinichi Kudo an explanation.

"Ran, I don't think you should go looking for Shinichi Kudo right now. You should wait until he finishes talking to your father."

Because in front of your father, Shinichi Kudo would definitely not be willing to admit his mistakes.

You should stay here for a while and wait for Shinichi Kudo to finish his conversation before you go down and stop him.

"Besides, my senior was worried about you and Shinichi Kudo going out alone before, and even though Detective Mouri is home now, she's definitely still worried about you two being alone together."

After hearing Ichiro Takayanagi mention his mother, Ran Mouri agreed to his suggestion.

After Shinichi Kudo leaves his family office, they will intercept and warn him.

Originally, I wanted to stay by the window and wait for Shinichi Kudo to come out of the detective agency.

But nothing happened, so Ran Mouri was called away by Kaoru Takayanagi.

Kaoru Takayanagi is going to tidy up her room a bit more and have Ran Mouri sleep with her tonight to warm up for their future interactions.

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

“Detective Mouri, if you continue to be so dejected, Ran might choose to live outside instead of returning to this detective agency.”

Shinichi Kudo has no respect for Kogoro Mouri and will not call him Uncle Mouri or Uncle Kogoro when they meet.

Shinichi Kudo looked down on Kogoro Mouri's reasoning; he felt that such a person was not worthy of his respect.

However, Kogoro Mouri is still Ran Mouri's father, so Shinichi Kudo calls Kogoro Mouri "Detective Mouri".

After hearing what Shinichi Kudo said, Kogoro Mouri was very unhappy.

This guy is after my daughter, and he even came to my house in the middle of the night, just to teach me a lesson?

"You little brat, don't think I don't know what you're up to."

As long as I'm alive, there's absolutely no chance for you and my daughter to have a future together.

Since that's the case, Kogoro Mouri made his point clear, wanting to completely dispel Shinichi Kudo's idea.

"Detective Mori, the way you've become must be related to President Takayanagi next door, right? Did you suffer a loss at his hands?"

Shinichi Kudo didn't argue much with Kogoro Mouri about Ran's matter because he knew that Kogoro's attitude wasn't easy to change, so he wanted to find a common enemy.

Just now, at the entrance of the loan company's office, Shinichi Kudo and Ichiro Takayanagi had a brief exchange, and I felt that the other party was no ordinary person.

He knew very little about Ichiro Takayanagi, but as Ichiro Takayanagi's neighbor, Kogoro Mouri might know a little more about the old man.

By continuing to communicate with Kogoro Mouri, we can obtain more information about Ichiro Takayanagi, and perhaps even find evidence of his illegal and criminal activities.

"President Takayanagi is a good person, not someone you can slander at will."

This time, I'm only not telling President Takayanagi because of your parents; otherwise, you would definitely be prosecuted for false accusation.

Kogoro Mouri's attitude left Shinichi Kudo speechless. Kogoro Mouri didn't hate Ichiro Takayanagi at all; on the contrary, he thought Ichiro Takayanagi was a good person.

As for the charge of false accusation, Shinichi Kudo wasn't worried at all.

Because he only made insinuations, without saying it openly.

Even if Ichiro Takayanagi wanted to sue him, no lawyer would take the case.

"Detective Mori, I believe that President Takayanagi works for a loan company, so he might engage in some illegal or criminal activities in the future."

If we can terminate this earlier, it will have a significant impact on society.

"It seems you already know that Ran will be staying at President Takayanagi's place, so you're extremely dissatisfied with him and want to find some way to get through him."

After saying this, ignoring the surprise on Shinichi Kudo's face, he immediately handed him a bottle of beer.

"If you're willing to have a drink with me, I can tell you some things about President Takayanagi."

Whether it can help you or not depends on your own understanding and analysis.

Kogoro Mouri certainly wouldn't tell Shinichi Kudo about any unfavorable situations, but he could talk about his interactions with Ichiro Takayanagi.

Shinichi Kudo doesn't like drinking, but now he has to give in in order to learn more about Ichiro Takayanagi.

Because he wanted to both strike down Takayanagi Ichiro and rescue Mouri Ran.

While staking out the place, I thought that Ran Mouri had stayed at Ichiro Takayanagi's house for a long time, which was a bit inappropriate.

However, now that Kogoro Mouri knows that Ran Mouri will be living at Ichiro Takayanagi's house, this is something Shinichi Kudo cannot tolerate.

It's worth noting that even though he and Ran Mouri were childhood friends, their relationship wasn't close enough for them to rent a house outside of school and live together.

Now Ran Mouri is actually going to live with Ichiro Takayanagi, and Ichiro Takayanagi is a very handsome and perfect guy.

Anyway, he was better than him, and more handsome than all the boys in the school combined, which made Shinichi Kudo feel very threatened.

So he opened the beer tab, took a small sip, and then coughed a few times.

He immediately put it aside, wanting Kogoro Mouri to tell him about Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Are you even a man? You know, when I was a boy in high school like you, I was already a man who could drink a hundred cups without getting drunk."

If you can't drink, then you should leave now. I have nothing more to say to you.

Seeing Shinichi Kudo's performance, Kogoro Mouri was very disappointed.

Kogoro Mouri is a heavy drinker. If Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri were to get together, the two of them might team up to control his drinking.

He wanted a son-in-law who could drink with him; Shinichi Kudo was really terrible.

Spurred on by Kogoro Mouri's words, Shinichi Kudo immediately forced himself to drink most of the can.

He let out a burp, and then Shinichi Kudo's face turned red, which was a sign that he wasn't good at drinking.
