Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 198 Inheritance Problem
Suzuki residence, inside the courtyard.

As soon as Makino parked the car, Yuanzi couldn't wait to open the door, got out and looked at the nearby parking spaces.

Seeing this, Ayako blinked and looked at Sonoko in confusion: "What's wrong, Sonoko, what are you looking for?"

After carefully checking the surroundings, Sonoko nodded and said, "I'm looking to see if Uncle Jiroyoshi's bodyguards have driven over."

"bodyguard?"

"Well, when uncle encounters something related to Kaito Kidd, doesn't he usually bring his bodyguards with him at all times? Sister, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Hearing this, Ayako nodded: "It is indeed a bit strange that my uncle did not bring a bodyguard with him today..."

They all knew that Uncle Jiroyoshi rarely went out with bodyguards.

According to Uncle Jiroji himself, this is because he doesn't like the feeling of being bound and unfree.

However, when encountering things related to Kaito Kid, he would bring a few bodyguards with him wherever he went.

It is more about capturing Kaito Kidd than protecting his safety.

At this time, there was no other bodyguard car in the parking lot except Uncle Jiroyoshi's motorcycle.

In other words, Uncle Jiroyoshi most likely came here alone.

Under normal circumstances, this would not be surprising.

But now that Uncle Jiro has received the challenge letter from Kaito Kid, this is indeed a bit strange.

After hearing the conversation between Ayako and Sonoko, Makino looked at Sonoko in surprise.

When analyzing the challenge letter earlier, Sonoko showed her keen intuition.

Now it seems that Yuanzi's observation and problem-analyzing abilities are just as good.

If she is trained well, maybe Sonoko will become a real "Queen of Reasoning" in the future.

But in the final analysis, this is just an unrealistic fantasy. After all, some people's personalities are not naturally compatible with the profession of detective.

Seeing Sonoko standing outside the door with a thoughtful look on her face, Makino chuckled and said, "Don't think about it, Sonoko. Since Uncle Jirokichi is here, can't we just go and ask him in person?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be so interested in Kaito Kid~" Ayako also smiled and patted Sonoko's shoulder.

After hearing what Makino and the other two said, Sonoko finally came back to her senses from her thoughts and rushed to the door: "You are right, let's go ask uncle now!"

Looking at Yuanzi's anxious back, Makino smiled and shook his head.

It seems that Sonoko's curiosity about Kaito Kid is even greater than he imagined. No wonder Kyogoku Makoto can attack Kaito Kid without mercy.

Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in Makino's eyes.

It seems that Kyogoku Makoto will be returning to his country soon. Next time I have the chance, I can help Kuroba Kaito test his abilities.

What's the point of playing house with your father-in-law all the time?
It's time to step up your intensity and challenge your limits~
Thinking of this, Makino took Ayako's hand and walked into the house with a smile on his face.

Not long after, Makino and the other two found Suzuki Jirokichi, who was tasting red wine alone in the living room.

The moment she saw Suzuki Jirokichi, Sonoko ran up to him and said, "Uncle Jirokichi! Have you told the media and the police about Kaito Kid?"

Hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi, who had just raised his hand to greet Makino and the others, was slightly stunned, his expression a little unnatural: "You mean that? I haven't announced this news yet."

"Ah? But uncle, you usually don't..."

Before Sonoko could continue, Suzuki Jirokichi glanced at Makino secretly and interrupted, "Sonoko, you've also read the challenge letter. Judging from the portrait, it doesn't seem to be the real Kaito Kid this time. In my opinion, maybe someone is just playing a prank on me by using the name of Kaito Kid!"

Yuanzi put her hand on her chin, nodded silently, and murmured: "Is that so? No wonder my uncle's reaction this time is different from before..."

Seeing that Sonoko seemed to believe what he said, Suzuki Jirokichi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, even Sonoko noticed his "strangeness". Fortunately, he had already thought of an excuse, otherwise...

Thinking of this, Suzuki Jirokichi suddenly remembered something and quickly looked up at Makino and Ayako beside him.

The moment he saw the smile on Makino's lips, he suddenly had a bad feeling that "his lies have been seen through."

After a few seconds, seeing that Makino had not yet opened his mouth to question, Suzuki Jirokichi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine glass on the table, and took another sip of red wine.

"Well, Shirou and the others should be back soon. Sonoko, do you know why they suddenly found time to come back for dinner?"

"Hmm?" Sonoko blinked in confusion.

After seeing Sonoko's reaction, Suzuki Jirokichi laughed a few times: "Hahaha! Sonoko, it seems that you should consider your own affairs first than the affairs of Kaito Kid~"

Sonoko: “?”

Hearing this, Makino and Ayako looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Although Sonoko had not yet reacted to Uncle Suzuki Jiroyoshi's words, they had already guessed the general idea at this moment.

If nothing unexpected happens, the reason why Shiro Suzuki and his wife took the time to come back and invite them to dinner is probably related to Sonoko's lifelong event - "Kyogoku Makoto".

They should have thoroughly investigated Kyogoku Makoto.

Thinking of this, a hint of curiosity appeared in Makino's eyes.

I wonder what Shiro Suzuki and his wife will say at the dinner table later.

The next moment, Makino shook his head and took his thoughts away from this matter.

"Uncle Jiroji, if you have time after dinner, would it be convenient for us to go to your house to visit the vault that Kaito Kid mentioned?"

"Ah? Ah! Of course, come to think of it, you probably haven't seen the 'Big Iron Raven' that I am so proud of~" Suzuki Jirokichi was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

Seeing that Suzuki Jirokichi had agreed to let him and his friends go for a visit, Makino said no more.

The reason why he took the initiative to bring up this matter was not only because he wanted to see this "legendary" huge vault with his own eyes, but also to test the "smart tracking device" that he had just obtained.

Since there is a vent under the vault that can be used to put in plates for feeding, I believe that my "ant robot" can easily sneak in.

This is a good opportunity to test the various capabilities of this item.

……

Not long after, in the Suzuki family's restaurant.

After Shiro Suzuki and his wife came back, they did not immediately start talking about Sonoko.

While chatting about the interesting things they encountered during this business trip, the two asked about Makino and Ayako's recent life.

During the meal, although Suzuki Shiro also asked his cousin Suzuki Jirokichi about the "challenge letter", Suzuki Jirokichi still did not say much, but simply passed it over with similar words to the one he had given to Sonoko before. Unconsciously, the food on everyone's plates gradually disappeared, and the dinner officially came to an end.

--"cough!"

Just when Sonoko thought nothing had happened, Suzuki Tomoko's light cough suddenly reached everyone's ears.

Seeing this, Makino and his companions immediately realized that today's "main course" might be coming.

really.

The next second, Suzuki Tomoko looked at Sonoko calmly, making it impossible to tell the expression on her face: "Sonoko, the child you mentioned before is called Kyogoku Makoto, right?"

Sonoko scratched her head sheepishly and spoke slowly: "Yes, Zhen... No, his name is indeed Kyogoku Zhen."

Suzuki Tomoko slowly closed her eyes and sighed softly: "Really..."

Shiro Suzuki, who was standing by, saw Tomoko Suzuki's reaction and immediately smiled and tried to change the subject: "Time flies! Ayako and Sonoko have already..."

Before Suzuki Shiro could finish, Suzuki Tomoko narrowed her eyes at him and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Husband?"

Hearing this, Suzuki Shiro immediately laughed dryly twice and said nothing more.

After being together for so many years, the two have long been familiar with each other's personality and ways.

Suzuki Tomoko naturally knew why Suzuki Shiro deliberately changed the subject.

After all, her husband has always been very open-minded about this. From Ayako, it can be seen that he doesn't seem to want to interfere with his daughters' decisions at all.

Moreover, since Shiro Suzuki is a fighting fan, after investigating Kyogoku Makoto's information, he seemed to admire the child very much.

After all, the information such as "400 consecutive victories without a loss" and "kicked the nobleman" seemed to be true.

At this moment, Sonoko seemed to understand something and glanced at Uncle Jiroyoshi opposite her.

So this is what he meant by what he said before...

At this moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to become a little silent and quiet.

Apart from the butler and the maid who were clearing away the dishes, no other sound could be heard in the restaurant.

Only after the butler and the servants had cleared the plates and left the restaurant did Suzuki Tomoko look at Sonoko and continue, "To tell you the truth, we have already looked at his information. Whether it is his family background or education, he is not qualified. You should also know that the so-called 'force' is useless to our Suzuki family."

Yuanzi: "..."

Seeing his wife being so straightforward, Suzuki Shiro quickly said, "Tomoko, don't say that. After all, they are still young..."

"Young? They are indeed young, but we won't be young in a few years." Suzuki Tomoko looked at Suzuki Shiro dimly.

Suzuki Shiro: “…”

Although Shiro Suzuki wanted to say something, he also knew that what his wife said was actually correct.

For a family like theirs, "orderly inheritance" is naturally extremely important.

The Suzuki Group has many companies and employees.

If something goes wrong with the Suzuki Group's inheritance, it won't just be the Suzuki family that might suffer major changes.

I am afraid that countless employees below will suffer major changes as a result.

Since ancient times, there have been many families that have fought for power and eventually fell apart due to the "successor issue."

At this time, Suzuki Tomoko ignored the indignant Sonoko and continued, "Sonoko, you should know, right? The Kyogoku you are dating is just a high school student who just graduated. Moreover, he is a high school student who voluntarily gave up his studies and went abroad to practice martial arts!"

Hearing this, Yuanzi was obviously even more unconvinced: "It should be my own business to choose who to date, right? Besides, I don't want to inherit the family business!"

Hearing this, Suzuki Tomoko looked at Sonoko deeply and said seriously: "So, are you really going to continue dating this Kyogoku Makoto?"

Sonoko nodded and said, "Of course!"

Just as Sonoko was about to respond to her mother's next words, she suddenly noticed a smile at the corner of her mother's mouth.

After seeing the smile on Suzuki Tomoko's lips, Suzuki Shiro and Makino, who were about to speak, stopped.

The next moment, Suzuki Tomoko suddenly chuckled and sighed: "Since you said so, there is nothing we can do. Sonoko, when he returns home, invite him to your house and have a meal together..."

"Mom?" Sonoko looked at her mother in astonishment, as if she couldn't understand why her mother suddenly gave in.

Shiro Suzuki on the side also looked at his wife in surprise and blinked.

At this moment, Suzuki Tomoko suddenly turned to look at Makino and Ayako, with an inexplicable light in her eyes: "Ryuichi, Ayako, you all heard it, right? In that case, I can only inconvenience you~"

Makino, Ayako: “?”

Without waiting for Makino and Ayako to speak, Suzuki Tomoko chuckled and said, "Since Sonoko wants 'freedom', there are only two options left. Either you prepare to take over the consortium, or... you hand your grandson over to us for training as soon as possible!"

Ayako: “!!!”

Makino: “???”

Hmm? Weren't we just discussing Sonoko and Kyogoku Makoto?
What do you mean? You're eating the melon and it's on yourself, right?
Before Makino and the blushing Ayako could answer, Sonoko slammed the table and stood up, saying, "That's a good idea! Let's do it this way!!"

Shiro Suzuki also nodded with a smile, looking expectant.

Makino: "..."

……

Half an hour later, Makino and Ayako, who had finally left the study "safely", smiled at each other.

Before the two of them could say anything, Sonoko suddenly ran up to them with a smile and said, "Okay, have you finished chatting? Uncle Jirokichi has been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go!"

Seeing this, Makino reached out and rubbed Sonoko's head a few times. Ayako on the side also grabbed Sonoko's face and pulled it hard a few times.

"what!!!"

Soon after, Sonoko in the back seat was fixing her hair with one hand and rubbing the corner of her mouth with the other, and she did not forget to complain to Ayako beside her: "Really~ Sister, why are you exerting so much strength? It still hurts me now! Besides, what if my face gets stretched?"

Ayako covered her mouth and chuckled, but didn't say anything.

At this moment, Makino glanced at the gate of the compound in front of him and chuckled, "Okay, stop complaining, we're already here."

Hearing this, Yuanzi immediately put down his hands and looked out the window expectantly: "Are we there yet? Then let's go check out the vault!"

Seeing Sonoko's expression change instantly, Makino and Ayako smiled at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
