My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"Alright, I'll tell you about Takayanagi Ichiro now..."

Chapter 119 He held Ran Mouri's little hand

In fact, Kogoro Mouri can't tell much. At most, he can talk about some things he saw and his personal interactions with Ichiro Takayanagi.

The main reason is that Ichiro Takayanagi hasn't been running the shop here for very long, so he doesn't know much about it, but it's enough for him to tell Shinichi Kudo.

"Detective Mouri, you mean the reason Ran has been so restless these past few days is because of the loan you got from President Takayanagi?"

And afterwards, you actually let Ran stay at President Takayanagi's place to tutor his sister in order to pay off the debt.

Don't they know that this will only make their relationship more harmonious, and in the end, neither of them will want to separate?

Although Shinichi Kudo had only drunk half a bottle of wine, he was already a little tipsy.

So he spoke without any politeness, almost portraying Kogoro Mouri as the kind of person who would sell his daughter for personal gain.

However, no matter what, Kogoro Mouri is Ran Mouri's father, and Shinichi Kudo can still uphold this bottom line.

Kogoro Mouri's expression was also a bit unpleasant; Shinichi Kudo was completely talking without any real understanding of the situation.

He simply found a chance to turn his life around, but failed to verify it carefully and ended up suffering a loss. Why are you making it sound like he was deliberately trying to ruin this family?

Moreover, when it came time to discuss loan repayments, Ran Mouri and her mother went together to talk about it; he wasn't involved at all.

Or perhaps he didn't want to shoulder the responsibility and got himself drunk.

Therefore, this matter should not be her responsibility; it was a choice made by Ran Mouri and her mother.

Is there a problem with this?

During this time, Xiaolan can tutor others and practice her own skills.

Perhaps she can find a great job after graduating from university with this experience.

Shinichi Kudo couldn't find any reason to object to Kogoro Mouri's words, so he could only gulp down the remaining half can of beer.

"well done."

Upon seeing Shinichi Kudo's actions, Kogoro Mouri immediately gave him a thumbs-up in praise.

"Kudo boy, a man should be more magnanimous. You used to be a bit petty."

If you could make some changes that suit my taste, I might even lower my expectations.

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Shinichi Kudo felt a surge of joy.

If Kogoro Mouri could lower his expectations of him, and with Ran Mouri's goodwill towards him, then he could completely stand up to Eri Kisaki.

Perhaps this trip to the amusement park will allow him to shake off those two third wheels, Takayanagi Ichiro and Takayanagi Kaoru, so Kudo Shinichi got up from his seat.

"Detective Mouri, how about we have a couple more drinks tonight? I'd like to see..."

Shinichi Kudo gets drunk very quickly. Although he only finished a can of beer, he now feels like he's drunk a can of liquor.

It made his head spin and he couldn't stand steadily.

He couldn't say anything more and almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately Kogoro Mouri quickly caught him.

"Kid, if you can't drink this much, don't try to be a hero. That's one of the things I don't like about you."

"Detective Mori, I can still drink..."

Shinichi Kudo, nestled in Kogoro Mouri's arms, was quite resentful.

He believed he could still drink, and all he needed was for Kogoro Mouri to give him the alcohol.

Looking at Shinichi Kudo, who was so stubborn under the light, Kogoro Mouri's eyes became a little blurry, because he suddenly felt that Shinichi Kudo and Yoko Okino were somewhat similar.

They were all so handsome and young.

After Ran Mouri left, Kogoro Mouri drank quite a bit of beer.

Shinichi Kudo's visit was merely a continuation of their drinking session, which fueled Kogoro Mouri's anger.

Now, holding this Shinichi Kudo who somewhat resembles Yoko Okino, his passion burns even brighter.

"Kudo brat, you're drunk. Let me take you upstairs to rest."

Kogoro Mouri helped Shinichi Kudo leave the second floor, turning off the lights as they went out.

..........

"Xiaolan, the lights in your father's office are already off."

Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi went to make the beds, so Ichiro Takayanagi is keeping an eye on the situation at the Mouri Detective Agency.

Ran Mouri believed that Ichiro Takayanagi would not lie to her, and after hearing what Ichiro Takayanagi said, she immediately stood next to Yagyu by the window.

Then they set their sights on the Mouri Detective Agency.

The lights in the office on the second floor were off, indicating that Kogoro Mouri was no longer in the office on the second floor.

Furthermore, a sliver of light could be seen shining through the stairwell when the door on the third floor opened, indicating that Kogoro Mouri had already gone up to the third floor to rest.

“Brother Gaoliu, it’s time for me to go find Shinichi.”

Previously, Ran Mouri had accepted Ichiro Takayanagi's proposal.

Once Shinichi Kudo comes out of the detective agency, he can go and talk to Shinichi Kudo, and Eri Kisaki won't dislike him.

"Xiao Lan, wait a moment."

Ran Mouri turned to leave, but Ichiro Takayanagi grabbed her hand, making her face turn red instantly.

It's important to know that in Ran Mouri's life, apart from being held by her father, Kogoro Mouri, she has never been held by the hand of any other boy.

Even though Shinichi Kudo was his childhood friend, the two of them did not cross any lines.

She had only known Takayanagi Ichiro for a few days when he grabbed her hand.

Ran could feel that Ichiro Takayanagi's hand was larger than Kogoro Mouri's, and he felt safe enough in her hand, so Ran didn't immediately shake off Ichiro Takayanagi's hand.

"Brother Gao Liu, is there anything else?"

"Shinichi Kudo did not leave the detective agency."

"what?"

Ran Mouri was shocked after hearing this.

Then they went to the window and stood side by side with Ichiro Takayanagi, watching the situation at the detective agency.

The fact that the stairwell appeared just now means that Kogoro Mouri had just gone up to the third floor.

Logically speaking, Shinichi Kudo should have already left the detective agency and walked onto the sidewalk by now.

Moreover, there are streetlights on the sidewalk, so it's impossible not to see Shinichi Kudo.

But now Ran Mouri looked carefully from all sides and couldn't see Shinichi Kudo anywhere.

"Where did Shinichi go?" Ran Mouri wondered.

"I think Shinichi Kudo will definitely stay at your house to rest and wait for you to come back."

This way, the two of you will have time and space to spend together.

In response to Ran Mouri's question, Ichiro Takayanagi offered his own reasoning.

Chapter 120: The Scene Ran Mouri Sneaks Through the Mouth

After hearing Ichiro Takayanagi's reasoning, Ran Mouri fell silent.

It's unavoidable that Kogoro Mouri drinks when he's home alone.

If Shinichi Kudo arrives and Kogoro Mouri is already drunk, Shinichi will help Kogoro upstairs and let him stay there.

If Ran Mouri goes back to the detective agency, won't she just be alone in a room with Shinichi Kudo?

Although Ran Mouri had thought about this before, she thought it would be better to wait until they both graduated from university.

Furthermore, Ichiro Takayanagi also witnessed Shinichi Kudo going to the detective agency and not coming out.

If she goes home at this time, Ichiro Takayanagi will definitely report the situation to Eri Kisaki.

Ichiro Takayanagi and Eri Kisaki are senior and junior classmates, and it seems that Eri Kisaki will become a lawyer in Ichiro Takayanagi's firm in the future. The two of them have a very good relationship.

Even this weekend, Eri Kisaki entrusted Ichiro Takayanagi and Kaoru Takayanagi to stay by Ran Mouri's side to prevent her and Shinichi Kudo from doing anything inappropriate.

"Then now I..."

"Sister Xiaolan, why don't you stay with us tonight?"

Since you helped me make the bed, you can sleep with me now.

"Compared to you going back to the detective agency, which would worry Aunt Eri, there will be absolutely no problem staying here."

At this moment, Kaoru Takayanagi appeared beside Ichiro Takayanagi and invited Ran Mouri to stay.

If it were Ichiro Takayanagi who invited Ran Mouri to stay, Ran would have to think about it.

However, since the person who made the invitation was also a girl, Kaoru Takayanagi greatly lowered Ran Mouri's guard.

"Then I'll stay here."

..........

Tonight, Mitsuka Takayanagi made a pretty good dinner, so after cleaning up the mess, Ran Mouri drank quite a lot of water.

Now, in the middle of the night, I've woken up and want to go out to urinate.

Instead of waking up her friend Takayanagi Kaoru by biting her, she quietly got up on her own.

She was already quite familiar with the layout of the house, so she naturally went to the second-floor bathroom.

The chance encounters she had imagined didn't happen, but as Ran was about to go back, she heard sounds coming from other rooms in the darkness.

It wasn't the sound of conversation; rather, it sounded like something tickling.

Ran Mouri had never experienced anything like this before, so she walked towards the source of the sound with a bit of curiosity.
