Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"Ai, where did Conan and the others go?"

Upon seeing Ai Haibara still waiting for him, a hint of relief flashed in Seimei Suzuki's eyes.

As expected, our Ai is the most considerate!

"The rest of them went up to the room on the second floor to watch chess, while Sister Yuhua went to help us tidy up the room."

"Let's go take a look on the second floor!"

After Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, he took Haibara Ai's soft, boneless hand and walked towards the room on the second floor.

"what!"

As soon as Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai reached the second floor, they heard a scream.

"That's... Conan's voice?"

When Suzuki Haruaki and the others arrived at the room from which the sound came, they found the three little ones looking completely bewildered, while Conan had already disappeared.

Ai Haibara asked, "Ayumi, where did Conan go?"

After all, Conan is Ai Haibara's chosen guinea pig, so she cares a lot about his well-being.

"I don't know either, we were just watching..."

Suzuki Seimei glanced around the room, his gaze quickly drawn to the overturned chair in the corner and the scattered books.

"Could it be that he has already entered the secret passage?"

Since Suzuki Seimei already knew there was a secret passage in the castle, when he saw the overturned chair, he guessed that Conan must have found the mechanism to enter the secret passage.

Mitsuhiko couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Could Conan be in some kind of danger?"

"Don't worry, I'll find some help first, and we'll find Conan soon."

Suzuki Seimei casually comforted Mitsuhiko, then took out a two-meter-long tablecloth from his pocket.

(?ω?)

Upon seeing this, Ai Haibara's eyes lit up; she had already guessed what Seimei Suzuki was about to do.

"Spiritual communication!"

Under the curious gazes of Ayumi and the others, Suzuki Seimei quickly formed hand seals, then slapped the tablecloth with one hand.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

A super handsome husky with intelligent eyes quickly appeared on the tablecloth.

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

When the three little ones first saw Suzuki Seimei transform into a living dog, their eyes widened in shock, and they remained speechless for a long time.

Kawaii~

Ai Haibara, on the other hand, seemed remarkably calm, walking over to the husky with a smile and patting its fluffy head.

Ayumi subconsciously stepped forward, stroked the husky's fluffy tail, and asked somewhat stammeringly, "Seimei...Seimei, is this magic?"

Chapter 187 Do You Want to Be Pierced by a Thousand Arrows? (Bonus Chapter 4 for Bullet Girl)

Although Ayumi and the others already knew that Suzuki Seimei could perform magic tricks and conjure snacks and drinks out of thin air, the sudden appearance of such a large husky was still quite unbelievable.

"No! This is not magic."

Haruaki Suzuki shook his head seriously and said, "This is legitimate magic; you have to believe in Conan's teachings."

You call this magic?

Your magic trick is not scientific at all!

(ノ￣ー￣)ノノ(_ノ)

Genta and the others couldn't help but find the way they looked at Suzuki Seimei somewhat strange.

We're just kids, not idiots!

Seimei Suzuki was well aware that Genta and the others would doubt the authenticity of the magic trick, which was why he used a tablecloth as a cover.

However, as long as Genta and the others didn't witness Suzuki Seimei summoning the husky with the [Pet Summoning Doll], then it was magic no matter what.

Even if Jesus came, it wouldn't make a difference!

If you want to accuse me of using magic, you need to provide evidence, otherwise it's slander!

Seimei Suzuki patted the husky's head and said, "Husky, go find Conan."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The husky raised its nose and sniffed around, then walked to the chair lying in the corner and barked at the wall.

"It seems that Conan disappeared here. Could there be some kind of mechanism hidden here?"

Seeing this, Ai Haibara stared at the scattered books next to the chair for a while, then turned her gaze to the wall and the broken clock, revealing a thoughtful expression.

With the husky's guidance, Mitsuhiko and his companions quickly guessed the possibility of a secret passage.

Suzuki Haruaki immediately righted the chair that had fallen to the ground and placed the scattered books on it.

With a few thick books as stepping stones, Suzuki Seimei, at his current height, could easily reach the wall clock.

"Click-click-click..."

Seimei Suzuki tried moving the hands of the clock, and with a sound of a mechanism turning, the wall slowly rotated, revealing a dark passageway entrance.

Looking at the somewhat eerie entrance to the secret passage, Ayumi tentatively called out, "Conan, are you in there?"

"I'm here, none of you come in, I'm coming to find you."

Conan, who was searching for the exit of the passage, heard Ayumi's voice and quickly returned.

call--

Seeing Conan emerge from the secret passage unharmed, Ayumi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Genta couldn't help but ask curiously, "Conan, is there any treasure in this secret passage?"

Everyone had already learned from Mitsuru Mamiya that there was treasure hidden inside the castle, and now that they had discovered the secret passage, it was only natural to connect it to the treasure.

"Treasure!"

Upon hearing Genta's words, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up, and their reckless spirits began to ignite.

Conan shook his head and said, "This secret passage is too dark, and it seems there's more than one. I haven't found any treasure either."

"Let's hurry in and search for treasure! If we can find the treasure, we'll have an endless supply of eel rice."

Genta, looking excited, led Ayumi and Mitsuhiko into the dark passage.

"Stop right there, all of you!"

Seeing this, Suzuki Haruaki hurriedly stepped forward to stop the trio of freebies and seriously tried to fool them, saying, "Haven't you guys ever seen a treasure hunt movie?"

Secret passages like these, which contain hidden treasures, are very likely to be filled with all sorts of dangerous traps and mechanisms.

"Would you rather be cleaved in two by an axe, or be pierced through the heart by a thousand arrows?"

((-_-)-_-)-_-)

Upon hearing this, Genta and the others shuddered and unconsciously stopped in their tracks.

Thinking of the extras in treasure hunt movies who were killed by traps and mechanisms, Genta and his friends instantly regained their composure.

Treasure is good, but life is more important.

Seeing the three children startled by Suzuki Seimei's words, Conan and Ai Haibara secretly found it amusing.

Suzuki Haruaki's words are really only good for scaring children.

Judging from the last words left by Lord Mamiya, the treasure he left in the castle was clearly intended for his family, so there would definitely not be any dangerous traps set in the secret passage.

However, Conan and Ai Haibara did not intend to remind Genta and the others. Letting Suzuki Seimei occasionally scare the three little ones was a good thing, so that they wouldn't get hurt so easily.

"So what should we do now?"

"Of course, we'll tell the other people in the villa about the secret passage!"

Suzuki Haruaki said matter-of-factly, "It's not only safer to have everyone go into the secret passage to search for the treasure, but it's also easier to find it!"

Although Genta and the others felt somewhat unwilling, after being frightened by Suzuki Seimei's earlier words, they didn't dare to risk searching for the treasure on their own and eventually nodded in agreement.

"what?!"

Upon hearing Suzuki Haruaki's words, Mamiya Mitsuru asked incredulously, "You said you've discovered the entrance to a secret passage inside the castle? Is that true?"

To be honest, when Mitsuru Mamiya asked the Detective Boys to help solve the mystery, he simply wanted to try his luck. He didn't expect them to discover clues about the treasure so quickly.

Suzuki Seimei nodded affirmatively and said, "It's true, the entrance to the secret passage is in the room on the second floor where you can see the chess pieces."

I think the treasure that Lord Mamiya mentioned must be hidden inside that secret passage.

After receiving a positive reply from Suzuki Seimei, Mamiya Mitsuru and Mamiya Takato exchanged a glance, both seeing barely suppressed excitement and agitation in each other's expressions.

The reason why Mamiya Mitsuru and his group have stayed in this castle all these years is because they want to find the treasure left behind by Lord Mamiya, and now they finally see hope.

However, compared to Mamiya Mitsuru and the others, the maid disguised as Mamiya Masuyo looked extremely unpleasant.

This person had long considered the treasure left behind by Lord Mamiya as his own property, and naturally would not allow anyone else to touch it.

Moreover, in order to obtain these treasures, the maid not only killed many people, but also underwent plastic surgery to look like an old woman.

If the treasure falls into the wrong hands, all her hard work over the years will be wasted.

If it weren't for the large number of people present, Masahiro Mamiya would have wanted to kill them to silence them.

"Ok?"

Inoue Ryuichi, who was dutifully guarding the area, suddenly frowned slightly, and his gaze towards Mamiya Masuyo changed.

Having served as a special forces soldier for several years, Inoue Ryuichi is quite sensitive to malicious intent, such as murderous intent.

Although the killing intent emanating from Masaki Mamiya was very subtle, it still could not escape Inoue Ryuichi's perception.
