Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei decided to return to the Suzuki Manor first, and that it wouldn't be too late to attend the wedding with Suzuki Ayako and the others tomorrow.

call……

Watching Kogoro Mouri and the others walk away, Heiji Hattori couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"What happened to you?"

Hattori Heiji shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I'm just relieved. Every time that guy shows up, he drags me into some troublesome case."

"Hey, are you talking about Uncle Mori?"

Upon hearing this, Kazuha Toyama did not doubt Conan's meaning and assumed he was referring to Kogoro Mouri.

"Yes...that's right, as long as that old man is around, every time..."

"boom!!!"

Before Hattori Heiji could finish speaking, the glass in the third-floor window suddenly shattered, drawing everyone's attention.

"Sister Xiaolan, you stay here and watch this window!"

Conan instinctively gave an order to Ran Mouri, and then rushed towards the room from which the sound came.

Seeing this, Heiji Hattori and Kogoro Mori also chased after them without thinking, leaving Ran Mori and Kazuha Toyama looking helpless.

Suzuki Seimei glanced at Haibara Ai, who was equally uninterested, then looked up at Ran Mouri with his cute little face and said, "Ran-neechan, it's getting late, Ai and I will head back now~"

"Okay, then you guys go back and rest first!"

Ran Mouri didn't stop Seimei Suzuki and the others, and watched them get into the van not far away.

Looking through the dark car window at the lit-up third-floor balcony, Ai Haibara couldn't help but ask, "Seimei, aren't you curious about what happened?"

"There's nothing to be curious about. All I want to do right now is go home, take a shower, and go to sleep."

Suzuki Seimei stretched and lay on Kurosaki Tamaka's firm thighs, saying, "Even if we encounter a really tricky case, with Uncle Mori and Brother Heiji as our two famous detectives, they can easily solve it."

"That makes sense."

Hearing Suzuki Seimei say that, Ai Haibara also gave up her curiosity.

In fact, Suzuki Seimei's words were entirely meant to fool Ai Haibara.

The reason Suzuki Seimei didn't go to join in the fun was simply to avoid incurring the wrath of the Morizono family for himself and Ai!

Because Suzuki Seimei was almost certain that the murderer in this case was Morizono Kikuto, and the victim was Shigematsu's butler.

If Suzuki Seimei went with Conan and the others to join in the fun, and they found irrefutable evidence that Morizono Kikuto was the murderer, and eventually sent him to prison...

Even if Mikio Morizono doesn't say it out loud, he must feel very uncomfortable inside.

After all, the Suzuki Group and the Morizono Group are business partners, and there are some things that Suzuki Seimei still needs to avoid.

Of course!

Although Suzuki Haruaki did not appear to be involved in the case, it did not mean that he would pass up the opportunity to profit from it.

Once Kikuto Morizono's murder is confirmed, the news of his arrest by the police will inevitably cause fluctuations in the Morizono Group's stock price.

Despite having Mikio Morizono and Yurie Morizono in charge, the stock price was able to stabilize in a very short time, which was enough for Seimei Suzuki to make a small fortune.

Therefore, while Suzuki Seimei appeared to be sleeping on Kurosaki Tamaka's lap, he was actually secretly contacting Tachibana Maya.

Seimei Suzuki ordered Maya Tachibana to gather funds and wait until Morizono Group's stock price plummeted the next day. Then, she was to buy up all of Morizono Group's shares and sell them all when the stock price returned to normal.

If Tachibana Maya follows Suzuki Seimei's instructions, she can earn at least a few small fortunes tomorrow, which is much easier than robbing a bank.

Chapter 199 Everyone Suffers (Third Update, Please Vote)

next morning

After finishing his phone call with Conan, Suzuki Seimei learned the whole story from Conan.

This case can be described in one word: melodramatic!

In fact, the person Katagiri Kaede truly loves is Sakuraba Yuuji, the adopted son of the butler Shigematsu. She often visits the Morizono family just to see Sakuraba Yuuji more often.

However, the butler Shigematsu mistakenly believed that Katagiri Kaede liked Morizono Kikuto, who happened to fall in love with Katagiri Kaede at first sight, so he arranged for the two of them to get married.

When Katagiri Kaede gradually falls in love with Morizono Kikuto and accepts his marriage proposal, she discovers that she is pregnant with Sakuraba Yuuji's child.

Upon learning of this, Butler Shigematsu could only try to stop this ill-fated marriage, otherwise he would truly commit an irreparable mistake.

However, the Morizono family's wedding invitations had already been sent out, and Morizono Kikuto certainly couldn't cancel tomorrow's wedding just because of a word from the butler Shigematsu; otherwise, the entire Morizono Group would become a laughing stock.

In order to prevent Kikuto Morizono from getting married to Kaede Katagiri, the butler Shigematsu had no choice but to take a risky tactic: he threatened Kikuto Morizono with the fact that he had bribed a high-ranking official, forcing him to cancel tomorrow's wedding.

Kikuto Morizono was unaware that he had become a father unexpectedly. He thought that the butler Shigematsu wanted to use this as leverage to blackmail him, and his anger gradually turned into murderous intent.

To prevent Shigematsu from extorting him for life, Kikuto Morizono simply killed him and planned to frame Yuji Sakuraba for the crime.

Unfortunately, with Conan and Heiji Hattori around, Kikuto Morizono's little tricks couldn't escape their eyes at all, and in the end, Inspector Megure and his team put him in the police car.

Regarding this case, Suzuki Haruaki had only one word to describe it: Tragic!!!

In some ways, Kikuto Morizono can be considered the biggest victim in this case.

If it weren't for Katagiri Kaede's infidelity and pregnancy with Sakuraba Yuuji's child, Morizono Kikuto, the son of a wealthy family, would never have ended up like this.

Although the incident was caused by Shigematsu's inappropriate matchmaking, it takes two to tango.

If Katagiri Kaede truly didn't like Morizono Kikuto at all, then she could have simply rejected his advances, and the two of them would never have reached the point of discussing marriage.

It is obvious that Katagiri Kaede's indecisiveness between two men—while liking Sakuraba Yuuji, she also fell in love with Morizono Kikuto—is the culprit behind this tragedy.

Katagiri Kaede is like Kong Ci in "Storm Riders," a typical femme fatale.

Aside from Kikuto Morizono, who suffered the most, Kaede Katagiri and Yuuji Sakuraba's future days probably won't be too easy either.

It's important to know that Mikio Morizono is no pushover; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to build the Morizono Group into such a large company.

If Katagiri Kaede is carrying Morizono Kikuto's child, then for the sake of the unborn child, Morizono Mikio might not care about her little affair with Sakuraba Yuuji.

However, the child in Katagiri Kaede's womb was Sakuraba Yuuji's, and it was because of the two of them that Morizono Kikuto committed the heinous crime of murder.

Therefore, Morizono Mikio will definitely not let these two people off easily, and their fate will be even worse than Morizono Kikuto's.

Moreover, compared to Kikuto Morizono, Mikio Morizono's methods were clearly more sophisticated and ruthless.

If Kikuto Morizono had told Mikio Morizono about Shigematsu's extortion earlier, things would never have turned out this way.

Given Morizono Mikio's status and position, even if he wanted to silence Shigematsu's butler, he would never dirty his own hands.

Ultimately, Kikuto Morizono is still too inexperienced!

Mihana City Commercial Street

"Crash..."

Wearing the "Ordinary Person Glasses," Ai Haibara sat on a bench next to the game console, leisurely flipping through a magazine in her hand, enjoying a rare moment of leisure on her holiday.

Because the "Ordinary Person's Glasses" can achieve the effect of disguise, Ai Haibara always wears them when she goes to crowded places to play.

"Ai, here's the double-flavor ice cream you wanted!"

Seimei Suzuki sat down next to Ai Haibara and handed her a double-flavored ice cream, one blueberry and one strawberry.

"Thank you~ Mmm~~"

Taking the ice cream from Suzuki Seimei, Ai Haibara temporarily put down her magazine, scooped up a spoonful of the two-tone ice cream, and savored the cool, smooth texture, closing her eyes in enjoyment.

Like an elegant cat!

Seeing Genta eat two popsicles in one go and prepare to eat a third, Ayumi couldn't help but say with some concern, "Genta, that's already your third popsicle! Be careful you don't get diarrhea from eating so many!"

Genta patted his stomach and said, "It's okay! My stomach is as strong as Kamen Rider's, and this popsicle is chocolate flavored."

"Speaking of which, Doctor, you're taking way too long! It's already been more than half an hour since the agreed time."

Mitsuhiko glanced at his watch and asked with some doubt, "Conan, did the professor really tell us to gather here at eight o'clock? You must have misheard, right?"

"Of course not! I'm sure the doctor meant eight o'clock. As for why he'd be late, I think either he overslept or he got stuck in traffic on the way here..."

"Sorry! Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Before Conan could finish speaking, Professor Agasa, wearing a white lab coat, rushed over and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, the alarm clock at home broke, and I accidentally overslept."

Suzuki Haruaki waved his hand to defuse the situation, saying, "Alright, now that the professor is here, let's set off! We're going to have a blast today."

"Great!"

"Young White... The Detective Club, let's go!"

At Suzuki Seimei's command, the six children followed Professor Agasa with great enthusiasm toward the Tokyo Aviation Memorial Museum.

Wow~ How spectacular!

Upon entering the museum, the six children's attention was immediately drawn to the various airplanes on display, as well as the small fighter jets suspended in mid-air by steel cables.

"Look at page two of the brochure! It says this place is pretty good, they even let you simulate piloting a helicopter!"

"Really? Let me see!"

"Really! It looks like a lot of fun."

Seeing the three little ones' excited faces, Ai Haibara poured cold water on them without hesitation, saying, "You're getting too excited. The brochure says that you need to be at least a fifth-grade elementary school student to participate in helicopter simulator training."
