Chapter 795 Kuroba Chikage: Am I really getting old?

Inside the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall.

Many members of the Suzuki Foundation are currently carrying out new renovations on the interior of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Previously, the exhibited gems were decorated with one set of decorations, but now the exhibited dragon horse treasures will require a completely new set of decorations.

Otherwise, people might think the Suzuki Group can't afford to put on airs.

Kuroba Chikage was mixed in with them.

The phantom thief, who once stole three treasures, is glancing around at the interior of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Ever since Kaito Kuroba told her at the dock that she wasn't fast enough or ruthless enough.

She was determined to prove her abilities.

So he personally disguised himself and sneaked into the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

But after she had actually completed the disguise and infiltration, she felt hesitant.

Because she couldn't find it.

This is not a joke.

She really couldn't find the anti-theft device that Suzuki Jirokichi used to keep out the Phantom Thief Kid.

There were no robotic arms, no fighting masters, nothing at all.

But Suzuki Jirokichi is such a competitive person.

He once boasted to the media that he would definitely catch the Phantom Thief Kid.

How could they possibly not install any anti-Phantom Thief Kid devices?

"Does this mean I'm really getting old?"

Kuroba Chikage couldn't help but begin to doubt her own strength.

"Am I so old that I can't even see where the mechanisms that Suzuki Jirokichi installed are?"

"Is the decline in strength really that serious...?"

Her expression, hidden beneath her work cap, was somewhat uncertain.

how can that be possible?
When they were in Las Vegas, Dao Yi said that her strength hadn't declined at all.

Is Daoyi just trying to make me happy?
Thinking of this, Kuroba Chikage gritted her teeth.

I must prove that I can.

Not for anything else, just to prove a point.

So she infiltrated the Suzuki Foundation's ranks once again.

This made some teams remark that the renovation seemed to be going faster than usual today.

Does this mean their decorating efficiency has improved again?
They never imagined that a master of disguise would infiltrate their decorating team. Unable to find any security devices, he pretended to help them decorate the interior of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall and worked alongside them for about half an hour.

"Is this the Dragon Horse Treasure?"

"Hmph, in order to change this corrupt island nation, we need to revolutionize this era."

Sonoko Suzuki said in a pretentious tone.

Because Sakamoto Ryoma often added the phrase "that's right" to the end of his sentences.

In order to fit the current atmosphere of the Dragon Horse Exhibition.

She also added those two words to the end of her own words.

However, after adding those two words, she couldn't help but laugh.

"What? This has absolutely nothing to do with me, a high school girl!"

Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing next to Jirokichi Suzuki, said with a grin.

If it weren't for the Phantom Thief Kid's announcement today...

She then asked Chen En to go out and have fun together.

Jirokichi Suzuki, who was standing next to him, simply raised his eyebrows and then spoke.

"How could that be? You're standing next to a portrait of Sakamoto Ryoma."

"If you talk like that, who can tell you apart from Sakamoto Ryoma?"

Suzuki Sonoko:?
Are you praising me or insulting me?

Her face fell.

That's why he retorted in an annoyed tone.

"Uncle, is it really okay not to notify Inspector Nakamori Ginzo this time?"

"I have a feeling he's about to fly into a rage."

To this, Jirokichi Suzuki simply sneered.

"That's it?"

"A significant portion of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's funding comes from our Suzuki Group. Let him try throwing a tantrum and see what happens."

Do you really think I'm just a consultant for the Suzuki Group for nothing?
...Although all those years he spent traveling and sightseeing were indeed wasted.

However, after returning to Tokyo and learning Chen En's true identity, he did indeed begin to handle the internal affairs of the Suzuki Group and gained considerable knowledge of the Suzuki Group's internal information and intelligence network.

If he didn't know about this little thing, then...

"By the way, Uncle."

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly said.

She lightly touched the corner of her lips with her finger, a questioning look in her eyes. "Don't you find it strange?"

Why is Kaito Kid returning the three treasures to Lady Phantom Thief, who stole Ryoma's treasures 20 years ago?

What exactly is the relationship between Phantom Thief Lady and Phantom Thief Kid?

"Uncle, you have access to the Suzuki Group's intelligence network, so you must be able to find out this information, right?"

Suzuki Jirokichi: ?

Even if you say that, how could I possibly...

The last time the Phantom Thief Lady appeared was 20 years ago.

How could I possibly know what her relationship with Kaito Kid is?
He could only mutter something under his breath.

"Who cares? They're probably a couple or a mother and daughter."

Who would know about something like that?

"Compared to this, you should take a look at these dragon-horse treasures in the exhibition hall."

Jirokichi Suzuki's words caught Sonoko Suzuki's attention.

She turned to look at the dragon-horse treasures beside her, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes.

"These treasures all look very historical."

"And it has a very everyday style."

"It feels like just by looking at these treasures, you can see the entire life of Sakamoto Ryoma."

"By the way, Uncle."

"What kind of mechanism are you planning to use to deal with Phantom Thief Kid this time?"

"I followed you around the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall for half a day but I didn't see you set up any corresponding mechanisms. Could it be that this time it's some kind of high-tech mechanism that was set up without my knowledge?"

Jirokichi Suzuki's face darkened.

They were immediately rendered silent by Sonoko Suzuki's words.

After a while, he finally answered.

There was no mechanism at all.

"If Phantom Thief Kid specified a time to steal something, I might set up some new trap to hinder him, but since he doesn't specify a time to return the item, how could I possibly stop him?"

"See that over there? Doesn't that table over there say 'Kaito Kid Lost and Found Return Center'?"

"This is all the effort I put into dealing with Phantom Thief Kid."

Suzuki Sonoko:?
Why does this feel so perfunctory?
She looked at Suzuki Jirokichi with some confusion.

Generally speaking, Suzuki Jirokichi wouldn't be so perfunctory.

This is a head-on confrontation with Phantom Thief Kid.

Even if there's really no way to proceed, you should at least ask Arn.

Why didn't they even ask any questions before just setting up a platform and calling it a day?

As if sensing Sonoko Suzuki's confusion, Jirokichi Suzuki immediately sighed.

He casually pointed to the cup next to him and said.

What do you think of this treasure?

There is a description below this cup.

This is the cup that Sakamoto Ryoma used to drink from.

Sonoko Suzuki said hesitantly.

"Very, very lifelike?"

Suzuki Jirokichi: ?

His gaze fell on Sonoko Suzuki's face, making her even more uneasy.

Then he sighed and said.

"This is a fake. Judging from its condition, it should be from last week."

"And it's not just this thing that's from last week, the whole pile next to it is from last week."

"Why would I go to all that trouble to set up a bunch of institutions to protect a bunch of fakes?"

Sonoko Suzuki was greatly shocked.

However, before Sonoko Suzuki could speak...

Then a sound came from not far away.

"Brother Suzuki, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

“You say they are fakes, but I say they are not.”

“Every item here has been appraised by a professional appraiser… You didn’t have an appraiser appraise them, so how can you draw conclusions just by taking a look?”

Two people came into view.

　Updates will be done gradually...

　　I haven't been feeling really well lately.

　　You don't need to wait for me anymore.

　　Go to bed early and get up early for good health.
