"Kakaka!"
Yan Kai's words were passed on by the bodyguards in black at the door. Soon, the door opened. Inside, two teams of bodyguards in black were lined up on the left and right sides of the door. They stood upright, like soldiers waiting for review, and a young butler-looking young man. The middle-aged man with a beard trotted out and bowed ninety degrees to Yan Kai.
"I have kept Mr. Yan waiting for a long time. Master Jiroji is already in the reception room ready to welcome Mr. Yan. Please move on!"
The middle-aged man with a mustache said respectfully.
“I’d like to invite Mr. Yan!”
The bodyguards in black on both sides of the door also shouted loudly, and bowed at ninety degrees at the same time. Looking from the direction of Yan Kai, the bowing movements were neat and uniform, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.
"Good work."
Although he was not used to this kind of grand welcome, Yan Kai also knew that this was the Japanese "artisan spirit" and forcibly stopping them would make them feel uncomfortable, so he didn't bother to say anything more.
Under the leadership of a middle-aged man with a mustache, Yan Kai walked through a courtyard, two buildings, and an artificial lake, and finally met the person he came to meet this time in a Japanese-style room, the cousin of the current head of the Suzuki family. , Special Advisor to the Suzuki Zaibatsu (a slacker who only has power but does not do anything practical), Suzuki Jiroyoshi.
Suzuki Jirokichi is a bald old man with a slightly fierce appearance. He was sitting on his knees in a Japanese-style room. When he saw Yan Kai, he immediately bowed ninety degrees and said: "Mr. Yan, this is the first time we meet. I, Suzuki Jirokichi. Thirty-two years ago, your Majesty was with me. I have never been able to repay my life-saving grace, but this time I have the audacity to ask for help. I am really ashamed!"
Although Yan Kai was surprised by Suzuki Jirokichi's incident, he did not make a fuss. Instead, he said calmly: "Well... my father just did it casually in your matter back then. It didn't count as saving you. Instead, it was Mr. Jirokichi who got it." After learning about Uncle Liu's suffering, he stood up for justice and bailed Uncle Liu out of the police station despite the pressure from both the American army and the Japanese government. This kindness is the most rare and my father will never forget it. What do you have? If you want my help, please just say so. As long as it is not something that will harm the Central Plains, I, Yan Kai, will do my best. If I, Yan Kai, can't do it, then my father will help you do it no matter what."
Regarding Suzuki Jirokichi, Yan Kai had already heard from Yan Fei. In fact, when he was competing in the sword test in the early years, he crossed the Alps and walked in the snow when he found Suzuki Jirokichi who was unconscious in a snow disaster. Because he had an Asian face, Yan Fei rescued him, but after discovering that Suzuki Jirokichi was from Japan, he left him alone and left him alone. After all, Yan Fei has always had this kind of attitude towards people outside the Central Plains. The attitude of nothingness.
For Yan Fei, he did it casually, even unintentionally, and did not save Suzuki Jirokichi. But for Suzuki Jirokichi, it was precisely because Yan Fei woke him up and injected another life-saving energy. , gave him the strength to walk out of the snow-capped mountains again, and given the relationship between the Central Plains and Japan at that time, Yan Fei's not adding insult to injury was equivalent to a life-saving grace. What more could Suzuki Jirokichi ask for? So he always regarded Yan Fei as his benefactor.
After returning to Japan, Suzuki Jirokichi learned that Yan Fei's friend Liu Bo, who was temporarily staying in Japan, had been treated maliciously by the Japanese government. Regardless of the fact that the Amerikan troops stationed in Japan were secretly promoting the incident, he joined forces with other people at the time. A very powerful person in Japan saved Liu Bo together.
For Suzuki Jirokichi, this was a trivial contribution to repay Yan Fei's kindness, but for Yan Fei, he really owed Suzuki Jirokichi a favor, so he promised him through a letter that Suzuki Jirokichi could rely on him in the future. Because of this favor, he was asked to do something that would not harm the interests of the Central Plains or violate personal ethics.
Yan Fei's promise is rare, but Suzuki Jiroji feels that he just did what he should do. In the past thirty years, he has never mentioned any favors to Yan Fei. Until a few days ago, he suddenly He made a request to Yan Fei and wanted to use Yan Fei's power to do something, so he and Yan Kai met today.
To be honest, Yan Kai was quite surprised when he found out that the person he was going to see was Suzuki Jirokichi. He didn't know who the person who owed his father a favor was until today when he received a message from Yan Fei. , Yan Kai knew that the person he wanted to repay the favor was Suzuki Jirokichi who challenged the Kaito "Kid".
Speaking, Suzuki Jirokichi asked Yan Fei to honor the favor at this time. Could it be for tonight's dinner and to deal with the Kaito "Kid"?
Yan Kaixin felt something. He was regretful that he couldn't join in the fun before, but now it seems that he can surprise his senior sister and Saeko in a while!
"Master Youyan's help is enough, but I don't dare to trouble my benefactor!"
Hearing Yan Kai's solemn words, Suzuki Jiroji did not dare to neglect and bowed to Yan Kai again.
"Then please tell me what's going on."
Yan Kai didn't like talking while looking down at people, let alone when facing an elder, so he sat cross-legged about one and a half meters in front of Suzuki Jirokichi, and asked Suzuki Jirokichi from this position not far away. his purpose.
"Well, here's the thing..." Suzuki Jiroyoshi paused, and then asked Yan Kaidao, "I wonder if Young Master Yan knows about the Kaitou Kidd?"
"Yes, I also know that 'Kid' has issued a warning letter to touch the 'Golden Dusk', a treasure treasured by your Suzuki family, but the mere monster thief 'Kid' is probably not worthy of Mr. Jirokichi using the favor my father owes you, right?"
Yan Kai asked.
The Phantom Thief "Kid" sounds powerful, but in a country where capital is paramount, if he really offends a top plutocrat, "Kid" will definitely die, let alone just a Phantom Thief. The fate of the whole corpse.
The biggest reason why "Kidd" has been able to get away with it for so many years is that "Kidd" rarely brings real losses to the owners. After all, stolen things are insured, but it will bring some losses to the owners. In terms of economic benefits, the real powerful people regard "Kidd" as an "interesting toy" and are reluctant to kill it.
If the Suzuki Zaibatsu really wants to kill the Kaito "Kid", there are too many ways to kill "Kid". This is still legal, and there are even more illegal ones. Yan Kai doesn't think that a mere Kaitou "Kid" can be killed. "De" is worthy of Suzuki Jirokichi using Yan Fei's favor to deal with.
"Master Yan, you don't know something." Suzuki Jirokichi said to Yan Kai, "I want you to help me deal with the Kaitou Kidd, but I don't want to capture him. Although the news media say that Kidd and I are old enemies, But in fact, the relationship between me and 'Kid' is far more complicated than the outside world imagines. If Mr. Yan doesn't mind my verbosity, just listen to me and explain it slowly."
"Want to hear the details!" Yan Kai became slightly interested.
"Ahem!" Suzuki Jirokichi coughed and said, "After losing my family inheritance, I became obsessed with traveling around the world, achieving achievements in various things that interest me, and then immersed in that trivial sense of accomplishment. .”
"Well, I'm so sorry that you lost your family inheritance!"
Yan Kai bowed to Suzuki Jirokichi.
The bald old man in front of him, in addition to being the cousin of the current head of the Suzuki family, was also the most promising heir to the Suzuki family. In other words, he should have been the person sitting in the position of the head of the Suzuki family, but the three More than ten years ago, because of Uncle Liu's incident, he attacked both the army stationed in Japan and the Japanese government at the same time, making the position of the heir unsafe. Now he has become an empty position in the chaebol but no real power. This is also The biggest reason why Yan Fei has been thinking about this favor.
The Yan family does not owe others anything. Once they owe, they will feel uncomfortable. The more they owe, the more uncomfortable it will be. It can be said that the favor owed to Suzuki Jirokichi has made Yan Fei unhappy for twenty-seven years - Uncle Liu Being imprisoned by Japan to assist in the investigation and Suzuki Jirokichi bailing Uncle Liu out, these things were only learned after Yan Fei returned to China after completing the sword test. At that time, many things had been settled and the "International Security Control Act" had officially begun to be implemented. , even if Yan Fei wanted to make trouble, he had to give up because he was worried about other countries' attitudes towards the Central Plains.
Suzuki Jiro Yoshihiro said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, compared with the grace of saving my life, the mere inheritance is insignificant, and I was not interested in running the family business at all. I just became the heir because I couldn't hinder my family's request. What happened back then It also gives me a good excuse not to be the head of the Suzuki family. Now this kind of comfortable life is what I want. For this reason alone, I don’t feel that I owe my benefactor a favor, but me. It’s time to get relief here, hahahaha!”
As he spoke, Suzuki Jirokichi laughed, and the two mustaches on his lips twitched.
After laughing, Suzuki Jirokichi's face straightened: "Besides, I also hate it when I come to Amrikan and domineering and gesticulating in our Japanese all day long. Do you really think that only those with the surname Beishan in Japan have backbone?"
When American's plane burned down Tokyo, Suzuki Jiroyoshi was the one who personally experienced it. His mother also died in the fire. Therefore, Suzuki Jiroyoshi had a natural hatred for American, but he never dared to show it because of his identity. Come out, but in front of Yan Kai, he doesn't have to worry about this.
"Sorry, I said too many irrelevant things!"
Feeling that his emotions were a little out of control, Suzuki Jiroji restrained his emotions and apologized to Yan Kai.
"It's okay, just keep talking."
Yan Kai replied.
Suzuki Jirokichi continued: “In the process, I became obsessed with making headlines, always doing amazing things around the world, and then arousing heated discussions among locals, making myself a news headline. ’s front page, this sense of vanity made me extremely intoxicated at the time.”
Yan Kai nodded. For people with a strong desire for expression, being on the front page is indeed a very fascinating thing. Otherwise, why would a certain artist in the Central Plains be so obsessed with being on the hot search headlines?
"And in the process, I also met the old enemy in my life, the Kaito thief 'Kid'. That kid always used his dazzling skills and gorgeous performances to break through the strict guards and complete all kinds of extraordinary things. The possible theft took all the focus away from me. Whenever Kidd took action on those days, no matter what amazing moves I made, I could only appear on the second page."
Suzuki Jirokichi recalled, and Yan Kai also noticed that when Suzuki Jirokichi said this, the expression on his face was one of nostalgia rather than anger and resentment. It seems that the grudge between him and the Kaito "Kid" is indeed not as good as what was reported in the newspaper. That's the case.
"But this is not a bad thing for me." Sure enough, Suzuki Jirokichi laughed, and he continued, "Because it is easy to achieve various achievements, my interest cools down easily after reaching its peak, but 'Kid', that kid is different, he is a very difficult guy, and in the process of confronting him, I ignited my enthusiasm, that kind of passionate feeling, I really miss it very much to this day!"
"This is probably the feeling of cherishing each other when you meet your opponent in chess!"
Yan Kai nodded.
"Yes, it's not just me, but Kidd too." Suzuki Jirokichi said with a proud expression, "In order to defeat Kidd, I deliberately collected a few precious gems and used those gems as bait to lure Kidd 'I launched a challenge, and although I was repeatedly defeated by him, I also collected more and more clues about 'Kid', and finally locked in the true identity of 'Kid', who is the world-famous magician Kuroba Toichi! "
"Hahaha! That boy thought he beat me every time, but he didn't know that he had completely lost in the overall situation! I am Suzuki Jirokichi, the most outstanding heir to the Suzuki family. I really thought that I was stupid and rich. A nouveau riche?"
Suzuki Jiroji laughed and said. At this time, he was no longer restrained. Although he was already 70 or 80 years old, he burst out with a very powerful heroism.
"Then what?"
Yan Kai asked.
The true identity of the Kaitou "Kid" has never been exposed to the sun. It seems that after discovering the true identity of "Kid", Suzuki Jirokichi did not expose him.
Suzuki Jirokichi said with a smile: "I went to Kidd's real-life home and told him directly that I already knew his identity. I also produced a lot of evidence, which scared the self-respecting boy to death. I came to the door alone at that time. After a brief panic, 'Kid' did not choose to kill me to silence me, but sincerely asked me not to reveal his identity. In addition to being the Phantom Thief 'Kid', he was also his wife's As the husband and the father of the child, he cannot expose himself, otherwise he will be hunted by many people, and his wife and children will also be implicated by him. At the same time, he also explained to me the reason why he stole. Well, please forgive me for this reason. Let me tell you, this is his secret, I have no right to tell others, but please believe me, Kuroba Toichi is definitely not a person who is greedy for money, he has a last resort reason for stealing!"
"Then why did Kidd disappear for seven years? Why does he reappear now?"
Yan Kai asked.
"Uh... Mr. Yan, don't you know? The Black Feather Thief passed away due to an accident one or seven years ago!"
Suzuki Jiroyoshi said.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in magic, and I've never heard of Black Feather Thief, and I didn't even know he was dead."
Yan Kai apologized and also understood why the thief "Kid" suddenly stopped acting seven years ago. Of course, a dead person cannot act. So who is the new "Kid"?
"It's okay, it's okay. This death is just an official statement. In fact, the whereabouts of the Black Feather Pirate are unknown. It seems that he got into trouble with some mysterious organization and was attacked by that mysterious organization. Then there was no news and no one was seen. There is no dead body. However, personally, I am willing to believe that Robbery Yi is still alive. He is a person who has been locked up in desperate situations countless times and survived. He will not die easily. He must be hiding. Arrange your own plan in a corner and want to eliminate that mysterious organization in one fell swoop!" Suzuki Jirokichi has strong confidence in the generation of "Kidd".
After explaining the reason why Kidd disappeared, he continued, "It has been seven years since Kidd disappeared. About a month ago, Kidd suddenly made a comeback. At first, I thought he was just a kid taking advantage of the 'Phantom Thief' craze." 'The imitator jumped out, but after a few actions, I was sure that it couldn't be an imitator, and there couldn't be an imitator of such high quality in the world, so I found Pianyi's former magic assistant. He is also his assistant to the Phantom Thief. Terai, Terai and I are also familiar with each other. He couldn't resist my questioning and told me that the newly appeared 'Kid' is Kaito, Thief's son. He was trying to lure out the mysterious organization that persecuted Thief. , launch operations as 'Kid', attracting the attention of all parties, and if Tao Yi is not dead, but just hiding, he may also be attracted to him."
"So, this dinner is a stage set by you in cooperation with the second generation 'Kid'? To attract the mysterious organization that attacked Kuroba Toichi and Kuroba Toichi who may still be alive?"
Yan Kai asked.
"No! Whether it's fighting against that mysterious organization or finding the missing Toichi, this is the responsibility of my friend and Kaito, so I won't bother you to take action." Suzuki Jirokichi said firmly, "Mr. Yan, I The request this time is very simple. Please cooperate with my action plan and give that brat Kuroba Kaito a lesson! He has only learned a few things from his father, but he dares to provoke someone who even his father has difficulty resisting. Mysterious organization, how many lives does he have! This brat has never been severely beaten by society, and he doesn’t even know his own worth. I invite you here this time just to teach this boy about the dangers of society, and see if he still dares Don’t dare to imitate his father casually!”
Suzuki Jirokichi's voice was full of anger, but in addition to anger, it was more worried.
It seems that he has a deep friendship with Kuroba Toichi, the "Kid" generation, and he is also very worried about the safety of Kuroba Toichi's child, Kuroba Kaito.
By the way, the name Kuroba Kaito seems familiar. Have you heard it somewhere? Forget it, I don’t have much impression, it should be a dispensable character, I’m too lazy to recall it.
Yan Kai quickly gave up thinking about where he heard the name Kuroba Kaito. His brain capacity was also limited, so how could he cram everything into his mind and only select the important things to remember.
"I've helped you with this, Mr. Jirokichi, please tell me how I can cooperate with your plan!"
Suzuki Jirokichi's request is completely in line with the rules set by Yan Fei. It neither harms the interests of the Central Plains nor violates personal ethics. It is even slightly less difficult for Yan Kai and is a bit too wasteful of Yan Fei's favor. However, Suzuki Jirokichi's attitude is very Determined, all Yan Kai can do is to do his best to help Suzuki Jiroji complete his plan to teach the son of his old friend.
"Thank you Mr. Yan, please listen to me first. My general plan is this..."
Suzuki Jiroji wanted to express his gratitude to Yan Kai, and then tell Yan Kai his plan.
After listening to Suzuki Jirokichi's plan, Yan Kai took a deep breath and let it out gently.
Okay, this dinner, if you can, don't meet my seniors, Saeko, and the others, and if you do, don't let them recognize me!
Yan Kai, who originally planned to surprise Kasumigaoka Shiu and Busujima Saeko by suddenly showing up during the dinner, decided not to surprise them because the surprise could easily escalate into a shock if not careful.
