Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Genta snatched the note and exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Let's hurry up and find the treasure! From today onwards, we are the Junior Detective Club, and I, Genta Kojima, will be the leader."

"The Junior Detective Club?"

"That's so cool!"

"..."

Seeing the three little ones' high spirits, Conan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Suzuki Haruaki thought to himself, "I never imagined the founder of the Detective Boys would be Genta. I thought it would be Conan!"

"Let's go then!"

With a wave of Genta's hand, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko followed without thinking. However, after taking only a few steps, the three of them froze in place.

After realizing what was happening, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi asked with some confusion, "Speaking of which, Genta, where are we going?"

"This... hahaha... I don't know either." Genta scratched his head awkwardly.

Suzuki Haruaki shook his head speechlessly, pointing to the first picture on the sticky note and reminding him, "Don't you guys think the first picture looks like something?"

"It's Tokyo Tower." Conan stared at the first image and exclaimed instinctively.

"I know! The treasure must be hidden inside Tokyo Tower. Let's go!"

(^o^)/~

"You guys... slow down." Watching the four little ones run off in a flash, Conan felt utterly exhausted and chased after them with a sense of hopelessness.

Not long after Suzuki Seimei and the others left, three furtive figures followed closely behind, and Inoue Ryuichi also followed at a leisurely pace in his van.

More than ten minutes later, Inoue Ryuichi's expression suddenly changed, and without turning his head, he said, "Tamahana, prepare to call the police."

"Mr. Long Yi, what happened?"

Ryuichi Inoue said with a serious expression, "The three guys in that car ahead have been following you for three blocks. I suspect they might be international kidnappers."

"International kidnappers?! I understand, I'll call the police right away." Upon hearing this, Kurosaki Tamaka quickly took out her phone and dialed the police.

Under normal circumstances, kidnappers within the island nation would not dare to lay a hand on Suzuki Haruaki, because the risk of kidnapping him is too high.

As one of the top conglomerates in the island nation, the Suzuki Group's influence extends to all sectors of the country. It's not just the police force; many powerful figures in the military and political spheres rely on the Suzuki Group's support.

Therefore, ordinary kidnappers would not dare to lay a hand on Suzuki Haruaki unless they no longer wanted to live in the island nation and were prepared to flee to another country.

However, international kidnappers are different. These international kidnappers are basically audacious and only want to pull off a big heist and run away. Suzuki Haruaki actually fits their kidnapping target perfectly.

"Ding ding ding..."

As soon as Suzuki Haruaki got off the bus with Conan and the others, his flip phone rang.

"Hey?"

“Young Master, it’s me. Please remain calm and don’t look around. Let me finish. Mr. Long Yi suspects you’ve been targeted by international kidnappers. We’ve already cooperated with the police to set up an ambush. All you need to do next is…”

After Kurosaki Tamaka finished explaining the plan, Suzuki Seimei calmly replied, "I understand, Tamaka-neechan. See you later."

"Seimei, was it Sister Yuhua who called you?" Ayumi asked curiously as she heard the name "Sister Yuhua".

Suzuki Haruaki nodded: "It was Sister Yuhua who called. She said she's waiting for us at the restaurant up ahead and will treat us to dinner."

"Great, then I want to eat eel rice."

"Genta, really, all you ever do is eat eel rice. You should try something different sometimes!"

"I can't help it, it's my favorite food, eel rice."

Upon learning that Kurosaki Tamaka was going to treat everyone to dinner, the three little ones were overjoyed and eagerly followed Suzuki Haruaki to the restaurant.

"Kids will be kids. As soon as food is mentioned, they forget about the treasure hunt." Conan shook his head speechlessly.

"Young Master, over here~"

When Kurosaki Tamaka, who was waiting in the restaurant, saw Suzuki Seimei and the others, she smiled and waved to them, then led all five little ones into the private room.

Not long after Suzuki Harumi and his group entered the private room, two foreign men with short blond hair followed a middle-aged man with a mustache and walked into the restaurant somewhat furtively.

"Chiba, let's have a good drink today to celebrate our company signing a big project."

“Takagi-senpai, you’re absolutely right…”

"Bang! Bang!"

The moment the two foreign men entered the restaurant, two office workers who were chatting near the entrance suddenly sprang into action and tackled one of the foreign men to the ground.

"Don't move, police!"

Before the man with the mustache could react, the remaining guests in the hall suddenly sprang to their feet, pointing five police guns at his head.

"I...I surrender..."

Faced with five dark gun barrels, the man with the mustache didn't dare to make the slightest move. He quickly raised his hands in surrender, fearing that someone's gun might accidentally go off.

"Click-click-click..."

Upon hearing the noise outside the private room, Conan rushed out immediately and saw Officer Takagi and his team handcuffing the criminal.

Genta and the others rushed out of the private room, unable to contain their curiosity, and asked, "Conan, what happened?"

"It looks like the police are arresting some criminal?" Conan thought for a moment and said.

"Wow, that's amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen police officers arresting criminals!"

Mitsuhiko said with a look of relief, "In that case, we are really lucky. If Sister Yuhua hadn't brought us into the private room for dinner, we probably would have interfered with the police officers catching the bad guys."

"Haha~ Mitsuhiko, you're wrong. This time it wasn't just luck; we worked with the police to catch the bad guys." Suzuki Haruaki said with a smile, "Because these police officers were called over by Sister Tamaka."

"Seimei, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand. How does Sister Yuhua know they are bad people?"

Faced with the puzzled looks from Genta and the others, Kurosaki Tamaka smiled and explained, "You don't know, these three people have been secretly following you all the way. I suspected they were international kidnappers planning to abduct the young master, so I called the police and set up an ambush for them."

"I see, no wonder those bad guys were caught as soon as we entered the private room." Conan and the others looked enlightened upon hearing this.

"Da da da……"

A series of footsteps suddenly sounded, and Takagi Wataru, dressed in casual clothes, walked over with a strange expression: "Miss Tamahana, it seems we have made a mistake. Those three people are not kidnappers."

"What? Then why are they secretly following the young master?" Kurosaki Yuka's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

"Officer, you haven't arrested the wrong person, have you?" Ayumi asked with some concern.

Takagi Wataru gently patted Ayumi's head and comforted her gently, "Little sister, don't worry. Although those three people are not international kidnappers, they are international robbers that our police are currently looking for."

"???"

Apart from Suzuki Haruaki, who had already recalled some of the plot, everyone present looked puzzled, completely bewildered by Takagi Wataru's words.

"Actually, a few days ago, our police arrested the leader of an Italian robbery gang near Tokyo Tower, and these three people are the other three members of the gang."

Takagi Wataru couldn't help but laugh halfway through his sentence, "The reason they're secretly following you is because of that note you found. It contains clues about the gold coins their leader hid. They want to follow you to find the location of the gold coins, hahaha..."

Police officers like Wataru Takagi, who have received professional training, generally do not laugh at others unless they really can't help it.

┐(?~?)┌

There's nothing we can do; these three robbers are just too stupid!

It's one thing to accidentally lose the treasure map, but to expect a bunch of elementary school students to help them find the gold? I don't know if they even have brains.

Instead of finding the gold, they were mistaken for international kidnappers by Kurosaki Tamaka and her group, and were captured without even realizing it.

Mitsuhiko suddenly exclaimed, "I remember now! It seems like yesterday's news mentioned that the Italian robbery group stole 15,000 maple leaf gold coins, which is about 600 million yen."

"Six...six hundred million!"

Genta nearly choked on his words, his hand holding the notepad trembling uncontrollably: "How many eel rice bowls could that buy?"

"Alright! Since this treasure map is useful to the police officers, let's give it to them." Suzuki Seimei snatched the note from Genta's hand and handed it to Officer Takagi.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in, Takagi Wataru. You are rewarded with a Proficiency-level 'Fire Precision' manual, which you can claim at any time."

After putting away the note, Officer Takagi praised them generously, "Kids, thank you so much for your help this time. Without your help, we wouldn't have been able to catch these robbers so easily. You are all good kids."

"Actually, no~ What can we do? We're the Junior Detective Club, after all. Hehehe..."

Genta and his friends were initially disappointed to find the treasure map gone, but after receiving praise from Officer Takagi, they grinned contentedly.

Seimei Suzuki clapped his hands and said, "Everyone did a great job today. To celebrate our Junior Detective Club solving a big case for the police officers for the first time."

Sister Yuhua said she would not only treat us to dinner, but also to a movie afterwards.

ヾ(??▽?)ノ

"That's fantastic! Long live Sister Yuhua!"

Upon hearing what Suzuki Haruaki said, Genta and the others forgot about the treasure and began to discuss the recently released popular movies with great interest.

Suzuki Seimei looked around and then focused his gaze on Inspector Chiba, whose head was above the sign that read "Check-in Available".

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in, Chiba Kazunobu. You are rewarded with 2 stamina points, which you can claim at any time."

Suzuki Haruaki casually walked past Officer Chiba and lightly touched his thigh, at which point a system notification sounded in his ear.

With the addition of two stamina points, Suzuki Seimei's stamina increased to eleven points, meaning his stamina now surpasses that of an average adult male.

Well done!
