Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

I must say, this Crystal Water restaurant is truly beautiful!

Judging from its architectural style, apart from the upper part of the restaurant being built on the sea, there should be a large part of the restaurant being built underwater.

If Suzuki Harumi is not mistaken, the restaurant section beneath the sea will likely be built in a style similar to an aquarium.

Those who come to dine will be able to enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery while savoring their meal.

That's quite a clever gimmick!

Noticing the sparkle in Ai Haibara's eyes, Seimei Suzuki smiled and asked, "Ai, do you like it here too?"

"The environment here is beautiful, I like it very much." Ai Haibara nodded slightly.

Suzuki Haruaki smiled and said, "In that case, I'll get an annual membership in a few days. We can come here to eat whenever we have time, and we can also bring Genta and the others to come and play."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara nodded happily.

"Squeak..."

A screeching sound of tires suddenly came from afar. A red sports car left a trail of afterimages, executed a beautiful drift, and came to a stop in the parking space in front of Suzuki Haruaki and his companions.

Click!

A long, fair leg emerged from the sports car first, followed by a woman in a red trench coat with shoulder-length, fiery red hair, who appeared before Suzuki Haruka and his companions.

The red-haired woman casually glanced at Kogoro Mouri and his companions before finally fixing her gaze on Seimei Suzuki.

"ah?!"

Upon seeing Suzuki Seimei's familiar face, the red-haired woman quickly removed her sunglasses, a somewhat ingratiating smile spreading across her pretty face. She leaned close to him and said, "Young Master Seimei, what are you doing here? Did Mr. Asahi invite you as well?"

"Um……"

After staring at the red-haired woman's pretty face for a while, Suzuki Haruaki asked with some doubt, "Do we know each other?"

“Young Master Seimei, my name is Nana Koyama.”

Upon hearing this, the red-haired woman smiled without changing her expression and introduced herself: "When Mrs. Suzuki was looking for models to promote the Fairy Lingerie, I was one of those models. You may not have noticed me at the time, but you are so cute, I will never forget your face."

"Oh! I see!"

Suzuki Haruaki looked somewhat bewildered and extended his right hand, saying, "It's nice to see you again."

"It is my honor to meet you here."

Seeing this, Nana Koyama smiled and shook Suzuki Seimei's small hand.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Nana Koyama. You are rewarded with three years of [Lifespan], which you can claim at any time."

The moment their palms touched, a system notification sounded in Suzuki Seimei's ear.

"Squeak..."

With a series of rapid tire screech sounds, three more luxury cars drove up from a distance and stopped in the parking space in front of Suzuki Harumi and his group.

Three men in suits stepped out of their respective luxury cars.

Inspector Megure took out his police ID and walked up to the three men, asking, "Hello! I'm Inspector Megure from the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Minoru Nishina, and I'm an essayist. May I ask what brings you here, officer?" the man in the white suit asked, looking puzzled.

"This is what happened..."

Under Inspector Megure's narration, everyone quickly understood the cause and effect of the matter and gave their names.

Besides Minoru Nishina, the other two men were named Eimei Shishido and Peter Ford.

Eiaki Shishido is a professional photographer, while Peter Ford is a television presenter.

"The names of these people..."

After listening to the three people's self-introductions, Conan's expression changed slightly, and he stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.

The character '仁' in Minoru Nishina's name clearly contains the character '二' (two), while the character '宍' in Eimei Shishido's name contains the character '六' (six).

In other words, these two people were very likely also targets of the criminals.

In addition, the names of Kogoro Mouri, Ninzaburo Shiratori, and Ryuichi Inoue contain the characters for 'five', 'three', and 'one' respectively.

In other words, of the numbers from one to nine, only 'seven' and 'four' are yet to be included.

wrong!

Strictly speaking, 'seven' and 'four' should also be present.

In Japanese, the pronunciation of 'seven' is the same as that of 'Nana', which means that Ms. Nana Koyama is very likely to represent 'seven'.

The pronunciation of Ford is close to the English word four (4), which means that Mr. Peter Ford is very likely to represent 'four'.

If Conan's guess is correct, then the gathering of these people here might not be a simple coincidence.

Gazing at the distant seaside restaurant, Conan thought to himself, "If my deduction is correct, that guy Murakami Joe should be hiding inside the Crystal Restaurant right now."

Although Conan had guessed the culprit's intentions, he did not rush to expose him.

After all, among the people present, besides Inspector Megure and Inspector Shiratori, there was also Inoue Ryuichi, their ace bodyguard. Dealing with Murakami Joe would be incredibly easy.

How could the Dragon Knight lose?!

Rather than letting Murakami Takeru ambush them from the shadows, it would be better to use the people present as bait to catch that rat hiding in the dark.

Ze Mugong glanced at his watch and said, "Alright, it's almost three o'clock. Let's not keep Mr. Xu waiting. Let's go inside first!"

"That's right. With two detectives here, that Murakami Takeshi probably won't dare to show up."

Since none of the people attacked by Murakami Takeshi have died so far, Nishina Minoru and the others are not too afraid of this thug.

Accompanied by Inspector Megure and his team, the group boarded the restaurant's private cable car and glided towards the floating restaurant.

"Mr. Nishina, do you have a fear of heights like Uncle Mori?"

Seeing Nishina Minoru's pale face, Suzuki Seimei walked over to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you're afraid of heights, then don't sit by the window, just sit inside."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in, Renke Minoru. You are rewarded with a copy of the Proficiency-level book 'Writing'. You can claim it at any time."

Upon hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei's lips curled up slightly, but then a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

It's a pity that there weren't any big words "Check-in Available" floating above Peter Ford and Shishido Eimei's heads, otherwise it would have been even more perfect.

Nishina Minoru was unaware that in Suzuki Seimei's eyes, he was merely a tool for signing in. He thought Suzuki Seimei genuinely cared about him, so he forced a smile and said, "Little brother, thank you! But I'm not afraid of heights, I'm actually afraid of water."

"Afraid of water?" Suzuki Haruaki asked in surprise, "Mr. Nishina, you can't swim?"

"No...that's right, I can't swim." Minoru Nishina smiled a little embarrassedly.

For someone like Minoru Nishina who can't swim, visiting a floating restaurant like the Crystal Sea is quite a painful experience.

Unfortunately, in the adult world, there are bound to be some unavoidable situations.

For the sake of his future, even though he was afraid of water, Minoru Nishina found it hard to refuse an invitation from an entrepreneur like Katsuyoshi Asahi.

The interior of the Crystal Restaurant was similar to what Suzuki Seimei had guessed; the most important part of the restaurant was that it was built underwater.

Wow~ This place is so beautiful!

After arriving at the underwater restaurant by elevator, the group stepped out of the elevator and saw a huge glass corridor. Through these specially made tempered glass windows, they could clearly see the underwater world outside.

Watching those colorful sea fish swim by, one can't help but feel as if they are walking in the ocean.

After passing through a long glass corridor, a magnificent restaurant came into view.

The restaurant is surrounded by thick glass walls, allowing guests to enjoy their meals while admiring the underwater scenery, just like being in an aquarium.

Moreover, there was a red Ferrari F40 displayed in the center of the restaurant. I wonder how it was brought in.

"what?"

After looking around, Ze Muping frowned and said, "Why don't I see Mr. Asahi?"

"It is indeed a bit strange. The guests have already arrived, but the host has not come out to greet them."

Kogoro Mouri's expression changed slightly, and he turned to Officer Shiratori and said, "Officer Shiratori, I think we should check this place first. Murakami Joe might be hiding here."

"it is good!"

To prevent being ambushed by Murakami, Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Shiratori did not separate and searched the rooms together.

Taking advantage of Kogoro Mouri and the others' inattention, Conan couldn't control his reckless spirit and quietly slipped out to check the situation on his own.

He's a classic case of forgetting past mistakes; he deserved to be ambushed by Gin!

Inspector Megure, along with Ran Mouri and the others, sat down at a table near the center of the room to await the results of Inspector Shiratori's investigation.

As for Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai, they casually went to the window and began to admire the beautiful underwater scenery.

It wasn't that Suzuki Haruaki was heartless; rather, he simply didn't take Murakami Takeshi seriously.

If Murakami Jo dares to show up, Suzuki Seimei will summon a husky to bite him. Anyway, ever since he had the excuse of performing magic tricks, he has become more and more arrogant in using magical tools.

Don't ask me what magic is, it's just magic tricks!

Suzuki Haruaki took a bag of beef jerky out of his pocket, handed it to Ai Haibara, and asked, "Ai, would you like some beef jerky?"

"want."

Ai Haibara didn't stand on ceremony with Seimei Suzuki and spread out her small hands, saying, "Give me another can of juice."

"Do you want it chilled or at room temperature?"

"Room temperature is fine."

"for you!"
