Ai is kind-hearted after all.
The shrinking light is set to a timer mode, and it will automatically resume after two hours to prevent my guinea pigs from actually dying.
After all, it's hard to find "high-quality" guinea pigs like Conan, Heiji Hattori, and Kaito these days, who are both intelligent and capable of withstanding all sorts of bizarre experiments.
Her scientific research still requires their "contributions".
Over there, the phantom thief and the detectives escaped death by a hair's breadth.
Meanwhile, Nakamori Ginzo, who had once again let Kaito Kid escape, was frowning and hadn't figured out how to explain himself to his superior when an unknown, enthusiastic young man presented him with a great achievement.
All the artifacts at this Dragon Horse Exhibition are fake.
Upon hearing this news, Nakamori Ginzo was quite taken aback.
After all, this Ryoma exhibition has garnered a lot of attention because of the Phantom Thief Kid's claim that he would "visit" it. In addition to the extensive media coverage and high public enthusiasm, even the higher authorities are paying close attention to it.
If, in the end, a thief like Kaito Kid were to expose the fact that the "artifact is fake," the police would lose all face and become a laughing stock.
As the team leader, he is undoubtedly to blame and will inevitably be severely criticized by his superiors, which may even affect his career.
Fortunately, he learned the truth from a kind-hearted teenager.
It turns out that the organizer of this Ryoma exhibition, Tarumi Inohiko, colluded with the well-known appraiser Hanamura Masanosuke to produce fakes and had planned to sell these fake artifacts after the exhibition to make huge profits.
Moreover, they have a prior criminal record for knowingly selling counterfeit goods in huge sums. If they can be brought to justice this time, it will definitely be a great achievement.
"Thank you so much, Yuzuru!"
Nakamori Ginzo slapped the boy's shoulder hard.
With a smile, Yuzuru said modestly, "Not at all, Officer Nakamori, you flatter me. The most important thing now is for you to secure the evidence as soon as possible, so that the other party doesn't realize that things have been exposed and allow these counterfeit goods to get out of the country, which would deceive the ignorant public and cause even worse consequences."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Nakamori Ginzo nodded, looking at the humble, polite, and righteous young man in front of him. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him, and he even had the idea of wanting to take him as his son-in-law.
It's extremely rare to find someone who, even before officially becoming a son-in-law, already knows how to solve their father-in-law's problems and proactively helps resolve such a big issue; you couldn't find one even with a lantern.
Watching Officer Nakamori's excited back, Yuzuru's lips curled up slightly, adding one step to the progress of his "elderly route".
A qualified poacher needs to know how to target multiple avenues.
Over there, Aoko had calmed down. Faced with the concern of her two new friends, Ran and Sonoko, she didn't tell them the truth, but just made up an excuse to brush it off.
The teenage girl with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is also confused now.
Kaito's childhood friend is none other than the phantom thief Kid, who plays tricks on the police and his own father. If he exposes him, will Kaito be arrested? Will he go to jail or be executed?
Although Aoko had always been indignant whenever she mentioned Kaito Kid, wishing she could immediately arrest him and make him pay for his actions.
But when she actually learned the other person's identity, she felt somewhat at a loss and couldn't make up her mind.
This is normal.
After all, they grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and not everyone has the courage to turn down a family member for the greater good.
But a thorn has already been planted in the girl's heart.
.........
"Well, well! They've even tried to scam the Suzuki family!"
Seeing that Inohiko Tarumi and Masanosuke Hanamura had been arrested by Officer Nakamori and were kneeling down to confess their crimes in the face of overwhelming evidence, Sonoko was so angry that she put her hands on her hips.
Do they really think the Suzuki family is easy prey?
"That's outrageous!" Sonoko said angrily, hands on her hips, her spoiled princess temper flaring up. "I'm going to call my sister and have the legal department arrange the best lawyer. These two swindlers must spend the rest of their lives in jail!"
Yuzuru cleared his throat lightly: "Sonoko..."
"Hmm?" Sonoko turned her head and blinked her big eyes.
"Your business acumen is still not mature enough." Yu Shengnan glanced meaningfully at Xiao Lan not far away.
Sonoko followed his gaze and suddenly realized, "Oh right! Ran's mom is a legal queen!"
She immediately skipped over to Xiaolan and affectionately took her best friend's arm: "Xiaolan~ Could you please ask Aunt Yingli to take this case? The reward will be absolutely generous!"
Xiaolan was a little unsure: "This... I need to ask my mom first..."
"Oh, what are you asking!" Sonoko waved her hand confidently, saying, "This kind of fraud case is perfect for Aunt Fei! It can uphold justice and make a fortune at the same time, isn't that great!"
Yuzuru stood to the side, smiling silently.
He's both giving credit to his father-in-law and introducing cases to his mother-in-law; he's truly the best son-in-law ever.
It seems the father-in-law and mother-in-law aren't from the same family...
Meanwhile, Nakamori Aoko, who was standing to the side, remained preoccupied, her eyes darting around. She bit her lower lip, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, clearly still immersed in the shock she had just experienced.
"Aoko-san."
Yu Sheng Nan quietly walked to her side, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze, "Are you alright?"
Aoko looked up abruptly, meeting the boy's concerned gaze. Her nose stung with tears, and she forced a smile: "Ah... I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
But those blue eyes, just like Xiaolan's, were filled with confusion and unease, like the turbulent sea in a storm.
“There are some things you don’t need to rush into deciding,” Yuzuru said meaningfully, his gaze gentle and understanding. “Just follow your heart.”
His voice seemed to have some kind of magic, gradually relaxing Aoko's tense nerves.
Strangely, she felt an urge to confide in this boy she had only known for a short time, as if he were a trustworthy confidant who could hold all her secrets and troubles.
"Hanyu-kun..." Aoko bit her lip, her heart pounding like a deer's. After hesitating for a moment, she finally mustered the courage to ask, "If you found out... that someone you trust has actually been deceiving you all along, what would you do?"
Yuzuru Hanyu pretended to think for a moment, then smiled and said, "That depends on the nature of the lie. If it's a white lie, perhaps it can be forgiven; but if it hurts someone important..."
He didn't finish speaking, but Aoko's eyes clearly wavered.
"Thank you," she said softly, her voice still very soft, but the confusion in her eyes seemed to have lessened somewhat. "I think... I need to confirm it again."
Yuzuru nodded considerately: "It's always good to be cautious."
