Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

More than half an hour later, seeing that Shadow Mage and Escape King had not yet arrived, Huang Yize finally couldn't help but call them.

In fact, Huang Yize was one of the organizers of this offline gathering; otherwise, the gathering would not have been held in his villa, so he had the contact information of each member.

What Huang Yize found strange was that neither Shadow Mage nor Escape King answered their phones.

Huang Yize wasn't sure if Shadow Mage and the others would come back, so he asked Sugan Kiyoshiro to help prepare dinner first, while the others went back to their rooms to rest.

Because the pet dog summoned using the [Pet Summoning Doll] can only exist for a maximum of one hour, a few minutes before the husky was about to disappear, Suzuki Haruaki used the excuse of performing magic to cover the husky with a tablecloth, thus prematurely ending the summoning and bringing the dog back to life.

The easiest lies to believe are those that are seven parts truth and three parts falsehood.

Ever since Suzuki Seimei performed magic tricks in front of Conan and the others a few times, he has established a persona of being an expert in magic in their minds.

Even if Suzuki Seimei really did use magic, Conan and the others would subconsciously assume that he used some amazing magic trick and would never suspect that he actually possessed superpowers.

┐(?~?)┌

There's no way around it, being able to do magic tricks just makes me so capricious!

As night slowly fell, Araki Yoshizawa and Sugata Kiyohiro prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited everyone to gather at the restaurant for a meal.

Everyone present was a magic enthusiast, and before they knew it, they were talking about famous magicians.

Huang Yizhe took a bite of steak and said, "Speaking of my favorite Japanese magician, my favorite should be Kuroba Toichi. His stage performances can be described as divine."

?

Upon hearing this, Doi Takaki gave Araki Yoshizawa a look that said 'great minds think alike,' and nodded with a simple smile, saying, 'My favorite magician is also Kuroba Toichi.'

"Ask me?"

While cutting her steak with a knife, Kikue Tanaka smiled and replied, "I think it must be Yoshiro Kikoshita, who has amassed all these titles at such a young age of twenty!"

Hamano Toshiya said, "That's quite a coincidence. My favorite magician is Kinoshita Yoshiro's teacher, Tsukumo Motoyasu."

"What's wrong with you guys? All the magicians you admire are people who have already passed away. The magician I like is Sanada Ichizo, who is quite popular right now."

Naoko Kuroda turned to Sonoko and Ran Mouri halfway through her sentence and asked, "What about you two?"

"Phantom Thief Kid!"

Sonoko put down her fork and replied with utmost seriousness, "My favorite magician is, of course, Lord Kid. No one can compare to Lord Kid!"

(?--)

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Seimei and the others exchanged bewildered glances and shrugged helplessly.

This lovesick young lady is completely hopeless!

(′Д(︶︹︺)

Looking at Sonoko's spirited demeanor, Doi Takaki couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and gave a somewhat helpless smile.

I never expected that the second young lady of the Suzuki family would be my die-hard fan.

Although Kaito Kid is very charming and has many female fans, he was planning to steal the Suzuki family heirloom last time.

Normally, the Suzuki family should dislike him, right?

Could it be that this second young lady of the Suzuki family has some serious illness?

Suzuki Seimei took a sip of his drink and asked with some curiosity, "Ai, do you have a favorite magician?"

"My favorite magician, his name is..."

Ai Haibara stopped mid-sentence, staring into Seimei Suzuki's eyes, and said, word by word, "Suzuki, Seimei!"

Chapter 181 Mom is flirting with me (Third update, please vote)

Upon hearing Ai Haibara's words, Seimei Suzuki was slightly taken aback, then his face flushed slightly, and he smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Mom, she's flirting with me!

Actually, Ai Haibara wasn't flirting with Seimei Suzuki, because she wasn't really a magic enthusiast and had only seen some magic performances on TV before.

Compared to the magic tricks performed by magicians on television, Ai Haibara prefers the close-up magic tricks performed by Seimei Suzuki.

That's why Ai Haibara said that her favorite magician is Seimei Suzuki.

???

Seeing this, Conan blinked in confusion.

Why did he feel like he'd been force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)?

It's an illusion! It must be an illusion!

What kind of PDA could two little kids possibly have?

After dinner, Huang Yize called the Escape King and Shadow Clone again, but neither of them answered.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Yize said with a helpless expression, "The King of Escape still hasn't arrived. This is really a bit of a problem. He's in charge of tonight's entertainment."

"It's alright, we can just pick another person to take charge right away, right?" Kikue Tanaka suggested with a smile.

"Makes sense."

"Then let's play a game of rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses will be responsible for preparing today's entertainment."

Hamano Toshiya waved his hand and said, "Please! We are a magic enthusiasts' alliance. Instead of deciding the winner by rock-paper-scissors, I think it would be better to decide it by magic."

"Use magic to decide?"

Facing the puzzled looks from the crowd, Hamano Toshiya pulled a white handkerchief from his pocket, turned to Mouri Ran and smiled, "Ran, could you please help me with the next magic trick?"

"I?"

Ran Mouri blinked her beautiful eyes in surprise, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Now! I'll use this white handkerchief to blindfold Miss Xiaolan's beautiful eyes."

As Hamano Toshiya spoke, he first covered Ran Mouri's eyes with a handkerchief, and then asked the others, "Does anyone have paper and a pen on them?"

Upon hearing this, Kikue Tanaka, who was standing to the side, picked up the ballpoint pen and notepad next to the phone and said, "Can I use this? Our great magician."

"sure!"

Hamano Toshiya smiled and nodded, saying, "Now, please write each person's name on each piece of paper."

rustling...

"it is good."

Kikue Tanaka nodded slightly, picked up a ballpoint pen and a notepad, walked to the table next to her, and began writing down the names of everyone present.

Hamano Toshiya continued, "After writing the names, put all the papers together, turn them upside down so that the blank side is facing up, and then hand them to Ran."

"Alright, here you go, Xiaolan."

Following Hamano Toshiya's instructions, Tanaka Kikue tidied up the sticky notes with names written on them and placed them in Mouri Ran's hands.

"Oh, and give her the pen too."

After watching Kikue Tanaka hand the ballpoint pen to Ran Mouri, Toshiya Hamano smiled and said, "Now, everyone, please step back. Ran, be careful to protect the paper in your hand and don't let anyone else see it."

Next, please use a pen to write circles, crosses, and triangles on these sheets of paper.

"Do these markings have any special meaning?" Sonoko couldn't help but ask.

"The circle represents the acting head of the department, the cross represents someone in charge of today's entertainment, and as for the triangle..."

Hamano Toshiya thought for a moment, feigning mystery, and said, "If someone is marked with a triangle, then the person whose name is drawn on it should prepare hot water for everyone's bath tonight."

Upon hearing this, Sugata Kiyoharu said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Leave the task of boiling water to me."

Since Sugawara Kiyohiro was originally a temporary worker hired by Arayoshi to help with miscellaneous tasks, boiling water was also within his responsibilities.

"It's okay! When playing games, it's more fun to mix in some punitive tasks!"

Hamano Toshiya waved his hand and said to Mouri Ran, "Ran, you can start writing the marks now."

"it is good."

Ran Mouri nodded, and relying on her sense of touch, she drew three different marks on the three sticky notes with a ballpoint pen. She then parted her lips slightly and said, "I've finished writing."

"Okay, now could someone please put all these papers on the table?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Sonoko excitedly raised her hand, walked over, and took the note from Ran Mouri's hand.

"Sonoko, when you put these sticky notes down, don't turn them over so that the side with the names is on."

"Well, I see."

After the garden had arranged the sticky notes, Hamano Toshiya first removed the handkerchief from Ran Mouri's eyes, and then said in a mysterious tone, "Before looking at these names, please let me make a prediction first."

If my intuition is correct, today's acting head of the department should be Ms. Kuroda.

"What? No way!"

Upon hearing this, Naoko Kuroda's expression changed slightly. She quickly stepped forward to look at the note with the circled mark, and sure enough, her name was written on it.

"You were absolutely right!"

"that's amazing!"

When Ran Mouri and the others saw this, they couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.

Especially Ran Mouri, who was a participant, was certain that she was not a plant; she had genuinely marked those sticky notes randomly.

(* ￣︶￣)

Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Hamano Toshiya smiled slightly and said confidently, "Next, you should be in charge of heating the bathwater, Ms. Tanaka!"

"Huh? It's me?"
