Chapter 73: Tanigawa: Role-playing? It's not impossible. Ai: ...

"Xiao Ai, I have another reason to ask for leave for you."

Tanigawa returned home and took out the invitation letter from the mailbox at his doorstep.

"What?" Xiao Ai looked at Tanigawa expressionlessly.

Is it a stomach ache or a butt ache?
Or maybe a distant uncle or fourth uncle died?

"On April 19th, the Sally Beth will depart from Yokohama Port. The Suzuki Group has invited us to attend their 60th anniversary party."

As I recall, the Suzuki Group and the Ooka Family didn't seem to have a very good relationship.

……

On the evening of April 19th, Tanigawa bought a lot of dresses for Ai.

It’s just a pity that Ai finally chose a black dress similar to Lolita’s, which wrapped her whole body tightly.

"Why did you buy me these weird clothes?"

Xiao Ai held up her skirt, feeling a little shy and standing in front of the mirror with a blushing look.

"As for the dress, of course you have to wear it solemnly." Tanigawa took a photo of Ai with satisfaction.

The reason for taking pictures is simple, to record Xiaoai's growth process.

Putting down the camera, Tanigawa fiddled with himself in front of the mirror. With his black embroidered suit and handsome face, if it weren't for his personality, there would definitely be many girls pursuing him.

"Why are you shy?"

Tanigawa picked up Ai.

"Put me down, my clothes are all wrinkled." Ai said, looking at her dress.

……

When they got on the ship and saw so many people, Xiao Ai shyly followed behind Tanigawa.

Although many people came to talk to Tanigawa, he was not familiar with them. The only family he was familiar with was the Mori family.

"Mr. Maori, isn't Conan coming with us?"

Tanigawa was a little curious because he didn't notice the little tail behind Xiaolan.

"No, Conan said he wouldn't come no matter what and wanted to watch TV at home." Xiaolan said.

It’s really strange. Conan is a person who likes to be lively, but this time he chose to stay at home alone.

Conan, who was watching TV as Xiaolan expected, had already slipped out of the house.

Phantom thief?

He's just a thief. It's better to look for clues about the organization than to waste time with such a low-level guy.

When Tanigawa heard Xiaolan say Conan didn't come, he raised his eyebrows.

Conan didn't come? Doesn't that mean no one can control Kidd here?

"Before boarding the ship, I handed each guest a small box. To be honest, it was a little challenge to that stupid thief."

Tomoko Suzuki stood on the stage and held up a box.

"Inside the box is the Suzuki family's heirloom, which is also the Phantom Thief's primary target - the Dark Star. Of course, there is only one authentic one, and as for who I gave the authentic one to, only I know."

Tanigawa opened the box and put the black gem on Ai's clothes.

"Do you like it?" Tanigawa asked with a smile.

"It's okay." Ai said as she touched the fake dark star.

"If you like it, I'll give you one."

Xiao Ai immediately became alert, "Are you trying to steal the real gems from the Suzuki Group?"

"I definitely won't."

Tanigawa looked at Ai awkwardly, "Forget it if you don't want it. Besides, the Suzuki family is such a big consortium, how can I have the nerve to steal their heirloom and offend them."

I was invited as a guest, how could I steal the host's things? However, as for the thief's things, I just took them.

Tanigawa turned around and looked at Xiaolan, wondering when Kidd had dressed up as Xiaolan.

"What? You're staring at a girl. That's really embarrassing."

Xiao Ai tugged at Tanigawa's sleeve.

Xiaolan's red off-shoulder dress is enough to make someone stunned.

"Don't talk nonsense, little boy. I'm not that kind of person." Tanigawa flatly denied it.

He is looking at Kidd, does Kidd understand?
"I'm Officer Chaki. I think everyone has heard of my name. The legendary gangster has already come aboard. He is a master of disguise and can disguise himself as anyone. Not only his body shape and appearance, but also his voice and personality can be imitated perfectly."

A square-faced policeman stood on the stage.

Listening to the description of Kidd, Tanigawa showed an envious expression.

"I really want a girlfriend who can disguise herself as anyone." Tanigawa muttered softly, and Ai, who was standing next to him, heard it.

"abnormal!"

Xiao Ai cursed softly and twisted Tanigawa's thigh without letting go.

Why are you talking about love at the age of 19 and have such perverted ideas!

"The police suspect that this guy has infiltrated your group and may have passed himself off as a real person. Under normal circumstances, we police should carefully check each of them, but this time we don't want to spoil everyone's fun."

"Let's call it a day. You can all use a code word. Each of you form a team with the people around you and decide on a code word that only the two of you know."

Tanigawa also took this opportunity to remove Ai's hand that was twisting her thigh.

"What secret code do you think we should use?" Tanigawa asked, squatting down.

"There's no need for that." Xiao Ai said speechlessly.

"Can that guy disguise himself as a little girl? And with your terrible personality, no one can pretend to be like that... Ouch!"

Before Xiao Ai could finish her words, she covered her head.

He is indeed a terrible guy who likes to hit children on the head.

"Why is my personality so bad?" Tanigawa was not convinced.

Everyone has different personalities. Who are you to say that my personality is bad? You don't respect me!

"Then tell me what the code is." Xiao Ai didn't argue with Tanigawa. Many people knew whether he had a bad personality or not.

And if the traffic police officer named Miyamoto Yumi were to describe Tanigawa's personality, it would definitely be a hundred times worse than the word "terrible".

"I said 'Tanigawa is the best in the world', how about you say 'Xiao Ai is the second best'?" Tanigawa said.

Xiao Ai rolled her eyes and asked, "How old are you? Are you childish?"

Seeing that Xiaoai disagreed, he had to change another one.

"Then if I say 'Tanigawa is the most handsome', you say 'Ai will always like brother Tanigawa', okay?" Tanigawa said shamelessly.

"I don't like you." Xiao Ai said such hurtful words calmly.

Tanigawa felt very sad, and he acted out his sorrow vividly.

Xiao Ai doesn't want to pay attention to this drama queen, he should go to acting school.

"Then you can just say 'Tanigawa Loli will always love Tanigawa Brother'. Anyway, you don't recognize this name, and you're not saying you like me."

Xiao Ai pushed away Tanigawa's hand.

"So what do you think the code is?"

Xiao Ai suddenly had an idea and smiled slyly, "I said 'Tanigawa be good', and you said 'Tanigawa always listens to Xiao Ai's mother'."

Tanigawa looked at Ai in surprise, "If you like role-playing, it's not impossible for me."

Tanigawa agreed readily, which made Ai unacceptable.

No, aren't you shameless?
