Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

“I’ve heard about this case too, and I also learned the details of it from Uncle Mori’s conversation with Inspector Megure.”

Conan interjected, "I heard that the victim slept until noon at home, and when the robber opened the security door, he bumped right into her."

"So, the robber thought no one was home at first, which is why he broke in?" Hearing Suzuki Haruaki and the others' conversation, Haibara Ai's curiosity was piqued.

"It seems so. It's said that the victim's hands and feet were tied up by the robber before he stabbed her to death with a knife."

Conan stroked his chin and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the murderer probably found out where the money was hidden and then chose to kill the person to cover it up in order to prevent his identity from being exposed."

"It's really worrying that such a vicious criminal hasn't been arrested by the police yet!"

Beika Town is right next to Beika Town. If the robber is not caught by the police, he may very well flee to Beika Town.

"It is indeed a bit worrying. In that case, just in case, you should take these mind-control guns with you."

As soon as Suzuki Haruaki finished speaking, he took out five toy guns of different colors from his schoolbag and handed them to the five little ones.

These colorful toy guns are actually the mind-control guns that Suzuki Seimei reworked using the concept of alchemy.

Compared to ordinary toy guns, these stun guns don't offer much improvement in range or power; at most, the bullets will only hurt the target.

The barrels and magazines of these mind-control guns were specially modified by Seimei Suzuki so that they could fire mind-control beads about the thickness of a thumb.

The effects of the Bewitching Beads are self-evident; last time, when Ayumi and the others were almost captured by robbers, they used the Bewitching Beads to save themselves.

However, directly squeezing the mind-control bead with your hands will cause the user to be knocked unconscious by the anesthetic gas, and may even cause accidental injury.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei specially crafted these mind-control guns. Although their range is only about twenty meters, it is sufficient to deal with ordinary criminals.

As long as Ayumi and her friends hit the target with their mind-control guns, whether it's the target's arm or body, the mind-control beads will detonate instantly, thus taking down the target.

Compared to crushing the bewitching beads with your bare hands, using a bewitching gun not only has a wider attack range, but also makes it less likely to accidentally injure yourself.

In addition, these stun guns are modified from toy guns, so there is no need to worry about triggering charges of illegal possession of firearms.

It's practically an essential self-defense weapon for home and travel!

……

Early next morning

Teitan Elementary School, Grade 1, Class B

"good morning everyone!"

"Hello teacher!"

Wearing a pink suit, Kobayashi Sumiko first greeted the students as usual, and then said softly, "Before we take attendance, I have something to tell you all. Today, Yoshida Ayumi's mother called and heard that Ayumi has a bad cold, so she has to stay home and rest."

"Seriously, did Ayumi even eat the eel rice? I always feel better after eating eel rice whenever I have a cold."

Hehe~

Hearing Genta's words, Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes and mutter to himself, "Do you think everyone is like you?"

They say idiots don't catch colds, and Genta is quite a perfect example of that.

Suzuki Haruaki muttered to himself, "I wonder how Ayumi is doing now? It's really worrying."

"Don't worry, it's just a minor cold."

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara whispered to comfort her, "After class, we can use our detective badges to contact Ayumi and ask her what's going on."

"Yes, that's fine too."

Meanwhile, Ayumi's mother had to leave Ayumi alone at home for the time being because she had something urgent to attend to.

Of course!

Ayumi's mother wouldn't be away for too long; she would come back before noon to cook.

"It's okay, the fever has started to go down. As long as the throat isn't swollen anymore, you'll be able to speak soon."

Ayumi's mother touched Ayumi's forehead, feeling that her head wasn't as hot as it had been the night before, and said gently, "Then Mommy will go now, you must go to sleep well~"

"Hmm~"

A somewhat listless Ayumi nodded slightly and waved her little hand at her mother.

"Good boy!"

Ayumi's mother bent down and kissed Ayumi's cheek, tucked her in, locked the door, and left the apartment.

After Ayumi's mother left the apartment building, a mysterious man wearing a helmet watched her departing figure, a cold smile appearing on his lips, and walked to a public phone booth to make a call to the Yoshida family.

This mysterious helmeted man is a burglar who has wandered over from Beika Town, and his target this time is the Yoshida family.

According to the helmeted man's investigation, the Yoshida family is considered one of the wealthier families in this apartment building.

Moreover, the Yoshida family is very simple, consisting of only three people: a typical urban couple and an only daughter.

Most importantly, the male head of the Yoshida family has a very regular work schedule, and their youngest daughter also goes to school regularly.

Therefore, as long as the lady of the Yoshida family leaves home, there is no one left in the Yoshida family, which makes it easier for the helmeted man to break into the house.

The reason the helmeted man called Yoshida's house was mainly to confirm whether anyone was home.

Learn from your mistakes!

The last time the helmeted man broke into the French restaurant owner's house, it was because he didn't check beforehand whether anyone was home that he bumped into her without any precautions, forcing him to kill her to silence her.

To be honest, the helmeted man's purpose in breaking into the burglar's house was simply to make money; he never intended to kill anyone.

It's not that the helmeted man was kind-hearted, but rather that the crime of murder far exceeds that of burglary.

Before the helmeted man murdered the French restaurant owner, he had actually broken into the restaurant several times.

However, the police did not pay much attention to this kind of burglary case, nor did they send out many police officers to arrest the burglar, which is why he got away with it.

It wasn't until the helmeted man committed murder that the police in Beihu Township began to take the case seriously and increased their manpower several times over to arrest him.

The term "helmet man" has changed from a burglar breaking into a house to a robber breaking into a house.

The helmeted man had realized that the police in Beika Town had begun to mobilize a large number of officers to arrest him, which is why he fled to Beika Town.

"Hello, this is the Yoshida residence. I'm currently not home. If you need anything, please leave a message after the beep, and I will contact you as soon as possible..."

Hearing the voicemail on the phone, the helmeted man sneered and hung up, then strode into the apartment building.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong..."

Ayumi, who was feeling drowsy, suddenly heard the doorbell ring. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she thought to herself, "Mom's back!"

When Ayumi ran to the front door in her slippers, she suddenly realized what was happening, and her expression changed drastically.

"No! It's not Mom. If it were Mom, she wouldn't ring the doorbell at all."

Because Ayumi has tonsillitis and cannot speak for the time being, she cannot directly ask who is outside, so she can only stand on a small stool and look at the outside through the peephole.

"They're robbers!"

Upon seeing the mysterious helmeted figure outside the door, Ayumi's pupils constricted sharply. She instinctively jumped off the stool, ready to call the police.

But the moment Ayumi got the phone, she suddenly realized that she couldn't speak at all, and even if she got through, she couldn't tell the police what was going on.

"Click!"

Before Ayumi could react, a strange noise came from the door lock, and the deadbolt switch had been opened.

Startled, Ayumi didn't have time to think about anything else and ran back to her bedroom without a second thought, intending to find a place to hide.

Just as Ayumi was about to hide in the closet, she suddenly noticed the mind control gun on the bedside table, and her eyes lit up.

On the other side, after the helmeted man pried open the door, he also noticed the small stool placed at the door, and his expression changed slightly.

It's obvious there are other people in the house, and it's very likely a little kid.

The helmeted man looked around and quickly fixed his gaze on the wooden door, which had a childlike style. He grinned and pulled out a fruit knife.

Since the helmeted man had already killed one person, killing one more wouldn't matter in order to ensure his identity wasn't exposed. He could only blame the kid for his bad luck.

"boom!!!"

Just as the helmeted man opened the door to the children's bedroom with a cold smile, a thumb-sized bead suddenly shot out and hit the helmeted man in the chest.

"What is that..."

"boom!"

Before the helmeted man could react, he suddenly felt dizzy and his eyes rolled back as he passed out.

Chapter 194 Ran Mouri's Overthinking (First Update, Please Vote)

"Great! I've caught the robber!"

Seeing the robber fall to the ground, Ayumi, holding the pink stun gun, couldn't help but smile happily.

After the anesthetic gas dissipated, Ayumi stepped over the unconscious robber and ran to the outside corridor, where she banged on her neighbor's door.

"They're here! They're here!"

Hearing the urgent knocking, the neighbor's aunt quickly opened the door. Seeing Ayumi's anxious face, she gently asked, "Ayumi, what's wrong?"

"Ah...ah..."

Ayumi pointed to her throat, making a gesture that she couldn't speak, then pulled her neighbor's hand forcefully and walked towards her house.

When the neighbor saw the unconscious helmeted man and the fruit knife lying nearby, she immediately understood what had happened and quickly dialed the police.

Beep~woo~~Beep~woo~~Beep~woo~~

Upon receiving the emergency call, Inspector Megure, along with Inspector Takagi and his team, rushed to the scene immediately.

When Inspector Megure first saw the unconscious robber, he felt a little strange, but when he saw Ayumi, his doubts vanished instantly.
