Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Hehe ~

Seeing the three little ones looking dejected, Conan chuckled to himself, "Sorry, I actually had a lot of fun with this when I was in fifth grade."

"Alright! Don't be too disappointed. Although we can't simulate piloting a helicopter, we can still take some commemorative photos here, so it's not a wasted trip!"

After Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, he took out the camera he had prepared in advance and waved it in front of Ayumi and the others.

Hearing Suzuki Harumi's words, the three little ones perked up again and chose their favorite airplanes as the background for their photos.

The six children spent most of the day at the museum, and only left reluctantly, led by Professor Agasa, as dusk fell.

"Oh dear! It's already so late."

Glancing at the setting sun, Professor Agasa looked down at Haruaki Suzuki and the others and suggested, "How about I treat you to dinner and then take you home?"

"Great!"

"Long live the Doctor!"

"Then I want eel rice!"

Upon hearing this, the three little ones couldn't help but cheer.

Seimei Suzuki and Ai Haibara exchanged a glance, but neither of them refused. It would be quite fun for everyone to have a meal together.

Conan shook his head and said, "I won't go. I've already made plans with Ran-neechan. Tonight, I'm going to have dinner with Uncle Mori and Aunt Eri. Have fun."

"In that case, there's nothing we can do. We'll be going now."

Professor Agasa shook his head with some regret, then drove Suzuki Seimei and the others towards the nearby food street.

The food street is filled with restaurants and snack shops, and you can smell the delicious aromas as you walk along the street.

After a heated discussion, Suzuki Haruaki and his group finally decided to eat at a buffet restaurant.

Compared to those fancy but impractical high-end dishes, Genta and the other kids preferred the cheaper buffets.

Buffets offer a wide variety of dishes, as well as various desserts and fruits, which are very appealing to children.

"I'm so full! *burp*"

More than an hour later, Genta, who had eaten and drunk his fill, walked out of the restaurant with his big belly and burped, saying, "Conan didn't come. It's such a shame we didn't get to enjoy this food."

Mitsuhiko couldn't help but complain, "Genta, you ate way too much just now! You ate two watermelons!"

"What does it matter? The point of a buffet is to eat your fill!"

Ayumi smiled and waved her hand, then said somewhat disappointedly, "It's a pity that you can't take the buffet home, otherwise I could have brought some fruit back for Conan too."

"In that case, let's meet at Ran's house tomorrow. I'll treat you all to another buffet lunch. We can invite Conan along too," Suzuki Haruaki suggested with a smile.

Rich! Capricious!

(^o^)/~

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, the three little ones immediately raised their hands and cheered.

"Then Ai and I will head back now. See you tomorrow!"

See you tomorrow, bye-bye~

Suzuki Seimei skillfully took Haibara Ai's small hand and walked towards the nanny van not far away.

……

Early next morning

Before the Mori Detective Agency could even open for business, it was greeted by five uninvited guests, giving Kogoro Mori a real headache.

"Conan, did you know? Yesterday, Professor Agasa took us to a buffet. The fruit there was so delicious!"

"I ate two watermelons yesterday! It was the first time I'd ever eaten watermelon so heartily!"

"Conan, it's such a shame you didn't come to the buffet with me last night. But don't be sad, Seimei said he'll treat us to another buffet lunch today."

Looking at the three little ones chattering incessantly around Conan, Kogoro Mouri thought to himself, "These brats are really annoying. I finally have some time to rest, can't they just let me stay home alone to drink and sleep?"

ding ding ding...

Just as Kogoro Mouri was thinking about how to trick all these annoying brats in front of him, a sudden, urgent phone call interrupted his thoughts.

"Hello? Who is this? Is this Officer Shiratori...?"

Kogoro Mouri, who had been somewhat nonchalant, suddenly changed his expression, stood up abruptly, and said in disbelief, "What did you say? Inspector Megure was shot with a crossbow?!"

"Dad, what's wrong with Inspector Megure?" Ran Mouri asked with some concern.

Kogoro Mouri said with a serious expression, "Inspector Megure was shot in the stomach with a crossbow bolt by an unknown person while jogging this morning. He has been taken to the Midori Police Hospital for treatment."

"No way! Who would be so bold? Has the murderer been caught?"

"The culprit hasn't been caught yet. No, I have to go see Inspector Megure myself."

"Then I'll go with you."

As soon as Ran finished speaking, she quickly took off her apron and turned to Conan, saying, "Conan, Dad and I are going to the hospital to see Inspector Megure. You can take Seimei and the others to Professor Agasa's house to play!"

"Sister Ran, we want to go too. We're also worried about Inspector Megure's safety."

Before Conan could answer, Suzuki Haruaki interjected, "And you can ride in my van together, which is much more convenient than taking a taxi."

"Okay, then let's do it this way!"

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri only wanted to get to the hospital as soon as possible, and he didn't have time to be polite with Seimei Suzuki.

woohoo hoo...

At Suzuki Seimei's request, Inoue Ryuichi floored the accelerator and drove the van at the fastest speed possible to ensure safe driving, quickly arriving at Midoridai Police Hospital.

"Inspector Megure? So Inspector Megure's full name is Inspector Megure?"

The group followed Kogoro Mouri to Inspector Megure's hospital room and looked at the name on the room's nameplate with some surprise.

Aside from Suzuki Haruaki, this was the first time Conan and the others had heard Inspector Megure's full name, so it's understandable that they were surprised.

"Brother Mori, you've arrived!"

When Inspector Megure saw Kogoro Mouri enter through the door, he first greeted him with a smile, then turned his gaze to Seimei Suzuki and the others, and said with a gentle smile, "You guys came to see me too! Thank you so much."

"Inspector Megure, how is your injury?"

Seeing Inspector Megure's pale face, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Officer Shiratori, who was sitting beside the hospital bed, replied, "Fortunately, the crossbow bolt that hit the team leader did not injure any vital organs, so he is not in any danger. However, the doctor said that he needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days."

Inspector Megure nodded slightly and said, "That's right, so you don't need to worry too much!"

Compared to the worried crowd, Inspector Megure, the person involved, seemed very calm.

Because a veteran detective like Inspector Megure has been injured countless times in his decades-long career, this injury is nothing to him.

However, the assailant who attacked him should be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible.

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark!

Although Inspector Megure narrowly escaped this time, he may not be so lucky next time.

Ayumi stared at Inspector Megure's hat for a while, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "Inspector Megure, why are you wearing a hat in the hospital?"

"What...what does this have to do with anything?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure gave a somewhat helpless smile.

Children really do have different focuses than other people!

Yuan Tai whispered, "He must have very little hair, which is why he always wears a hat."

"He might have a big tumor on his head!"

Hearing Genta and the others whispering amongst themselves, Ai Haibara shook her head with amusement and turned to Seimei Suzuki, asking, "Seimei, why do you think Inspector Megure always wears a hat?"

"Because the hat is Inspector Megure's true form."

"???"

Upon hearing this answer, Ai Haibara blinked her large, puzzled eyes.

Does this mean he's a hat addict?

?

Thinking of this somewhat ridiculous answer, Ai Haibara's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

Kogoro Mouri ignored the little ones like Seimei Suzuki and instead asked Inspector Shiratori about the details of the case.

"Based on our investigation, the weapon used by the assailant to attack Inspector Megure should be a hand-held crossbow."

Faced with Kogoro Mouri's question, Officer Shiratori did not intend to hide anything and took out his notebook to say, "However, so far, we cannot determine whether this criminal was specifically targeting the team leader or because the team leader happened to pass by there during his morning run."

Besides the crossbow bolt that hit the team leader, we also found something strange at the crime scene.

After Officer Shiratori finished speaking, he picked up the evidence bag next to him and handed it to Kogoro Mouri.

Inside the sealed evidence bag was a small paper sword.

What is this thing?

"It looks like a Western sword?"

Suzuki Seimei stared at the paper sword for a while, then suddenly exclaimed, "It's the King of Spades!"

"King of Spades?"

Kogoro Mouri and the others asked, full of doubt, "Seimei, why did you say this sword is the King of Spades?"

"Because the King of Spades holds a paper sword like this, look!"
