Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"The killer is here! Run!"

"Don't panic, everyone!"

Upon hearing Ze Muping's screams, the more timid individuals began to panic and run around in all directions.

"What is that?"

Just as Inspector Megure was trying his best to calm everyone down, several pink glowing lights suddenly flashed in the dark room.

Upon seeing those conspicuous, glowing fingernails, Sawaki Kohei revealed a sinister smile, took out a dagger he had hidden on his person, and lunged towards the direction where Koyama Nana was.

In Sawaki Kohei's original plan, he intended to kill Oyama Nana in the dark. He had already added some fluorescent agent to Oyama Nana's nail polish beforehand.

However, Sawaki Kohei originally planned to pretend to accidentally trigger a pre-prepared trap in the wine cellar, creating the illusion that he was attacked by Murakami Takeshi, thereby clearing himself of suspicion.

Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected. To prevent Nana and the others from escaping through the emergency exit,

Sawaki Kohei could only pretend to be attacked, and then forcibly kill Koyama Nana before everyone could react.

"Woof!!!"

Just as Nana Oyama was about to have her throat slit with a dagger by Sawaki Kohei, a loud bark suddenly rang out in the darkness.

"Ah ah ah..."

Ze Muping felt a sharp pain as his right arm was instantly torn apart, the dagger in his hand fell uncontrollably, and his screams echoed throughout the restaurant.

"What happened? Mr. Zeki, what's wrong...?"

"Whoosh!!!"

Before Inspector Megure could finish speaking, a dazzling light suddenly illuminated the darkness, allowing everyone to see what was happening before them.

All that could be seen was Sawaki Kohei holding Nana Koyama's hair with his left hand, while his right arm was being tightly bitten by a husky, and there was a dagger at his feet.

"This...this..."

Faced with this bizarre scene, Inspector Megure and his team were at a loss for words.

"Hey husky, come back!"

Holding a flashlight, Suzuki Seimei was the first to come to his senses and called back the husky that was biting Sawaki Heiko's arm.

The lights being turned off created an environment conducive to murder for Sawaki Kohei, but it also conveniently allowed Suzuki Seimei to summon the husky for help.

Moreover, Suzuki Seimei, who had mastered the perfected Assassination Technique, was already very comfortable in the dark. He could pinpoint the killer's location just by listening to footsteps, so he decisively ordered the husky to launch an attack.

Nana Koyama forcefully broke free from Kohei Sawaki's grasp, crying out in shock and fear, "So you're the murderer!"

Others may not yet understand what happened, but Nana Koyama, as the victim, is certain that Kohei Sawaki really wanted to kill her.

Since when Ze Muping grabbed her hair just now, he seemed to want to tear her scalp off, so it definitely wasn't an accident.

"Mr. Ze... Mr. Ze, are you really the murderer?!"

Hearing Nana Koyama's loud shout, Kogoro Mouri and the others finally reacted, and their gazes toward Kohei Sawaki became incredibly complicated.

Kogoro Mouri's feelings, in particular, were like riding a rollercoaster, a mixture of shock and a sense of relief.

If the murderer is Sawaki Kohei, then the cause of this case is not Murakami Takeshi wanting to take revenge on Mouri Kogoro, so he doesn't need to feel so guilty.

His right arm was already numb with pain, and covered in cold sweat, Sawaki Kohei glared at Koyama Nana with resentful eyes and said viciously, "It's really not worth it to not be able to kill you with my own hands!"

"you……"

Faced with Sawaki Kohei's murderous gaze, Koyama Nana involuntarily took two steps back in fright.

Inspector Megure couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Sawaki, why did you attack Ms. Nana? And was that thug who attacked me earlier also you?"

"Hahaha……"

Sawaki Kohei sneered, "That's right, I did all of these things, even that unlucky guy Murakami Jo was killed by me!"

"What did you say?!"

Ignoring the surprised Kogoro Mouri, Sawaki Kohei continued, "About three months ago, on my way home from the store on my motorcycle, I accidentally collided with this woman's sports car and fell to the ground, injuring my head."

From that time on, my sense of taste disappeared.

Although my doctor told me that it might be related to my excessive stress, I still can't forgive this woman.

Can a bartender who has no sense of taste still be considered a bartender?

Moreover, since I have no sense of taste, I am destined never to open a restaurant of my own again, so I must take my revenge!

I'm going to kill that filthy woman who caused my car accident, as well as Katsuyoshi Asahi, Hiroki Tsuji, and Minoru Nishina. Those three guys put pressure on me, they insulted my profession, and they all deserve to die!

Just as I was thinking about how to get revenge on these people, I happened to run into Murakami Takeshi right in front of the Mori Detective Agency.

When I learned about Murakami Takeshi's past grievances with Mr. Mori, I came up with this perfect plan.

If you all believe that these things are Murakami Takeshi's revenge on Mr. Mori, then I can easily clear myself of suspicion.

Officer Shiratori couldn't help but ask, "So you're saying you have absolutely no grudge against Mr. Mori, and Inspector Megure and the others?"

"That's right, Mr. Mori and the others are just tools I use for revenge, a smokescreen to mislead your police!"

Sawaki Kohei stopped mid-sentence, then suddenly said with some regret, "It's a pity that Tsuji Hiroki escaped this time. If he could have been buried with me, that would have been perfect."

"What do you mean by that?!" Kogoro Mouri's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

"Actually, I had already planted a time bomb here. As soon as the time came, the glass wall of the restaurant would be blown up."

"When the seawater floods in, you'll all die here. Otherwise, why would I waste my breath talking to you? It's just to buy time, hahaha..."

After saying that, Ze Muping burst into maniacal laughter.

For a sommelier like Kohei Sawaki, who pursues perfection, there was no reason for him to live after he lost his sense of taste.

However, before he died, he had to drag those despicable bastards down to hell with him!

"What did you say? You lunatic, tell me right now where the time bomb is..."

"Boom boom boom..."

Before Inspector Megure could finish speaking, a violent explosion suddenly rang out, the glass wall of the underground restaurant shattered instantly, and tons of seawater poured into the hall.

"Damn it! It's too late, get out of here quickly!"

Feeling the violent tremors coming from the floor beneath their feet, everyone hurriedly escaped through the emergency exit.

However, the escape door opening was too small, only allowing one person to pass through at a time. Before everyone could crawl out, the seawater had already spread in.

Hahaha……

With his right arm severely injured, Sawaki Kohei gave up on escaping and let the seawater engulf him, his smile becoming increasingly distorted.

It's like a demon in the world!

"Crash..."

The surging seawater poured into the escape tunnel from the escape opening, quickly submerging the entire escape tunnel and forcibly separating everyone from the crowd.

"Ai!!!"

Just as Ai Haibara was about to be swept away by the sea, Seimei Suzuki suddenly exerted force with his legs, slicing through the waves like a swordfish, and swiftly swam to her side, grabbing her arm and pulling her into his arms.

Although Ai Haibara can swim, her physical strength is far less than before now that she's a child.

It was impossible for her to cross the narrow escape tunnel and swim to the surface of the sea on her own.

Chapter 210 My First Kiss Is Gone (Second Update, Please Vote)

Kurosaki Tamaka and Inoue Ryuichi, who were also submerged by the sea, did not rush to escape the deadly escape route. Instead, they anxiously searched for Suzuki Seimei.

Kurosaki Tamaka truly regarded Suzuki Seimei as her most precious treasure.

If something were to happen to Suzuki Seimei, let alone how Suzuki Shiro and the others would punish Kurosaki Tamaka, she herself would probably blame herself to death.

Needless to say, Ryuichi Inoue, as Suzuki Seimei's personal bodyguard, was already prepared to take bullets for Suzuki Seimei.

no way!

The Suzuki Group has given so much that Ryuichi Inoue is willing to risk his life to protect his heir, Seimei Suzuki.

It's important to know that Ryuichi Inoue is not alone; he has a gentle and considerate wife, as well as two adorable children.

To relieve Ryuichi Inoue of any worries, the Suzuki Group would help him with various issues such as his wife's job and his children's schooling.

As long as Ryuichi Inoue does his job well and protects Seimei Suzuki's safety, he doesn't need to worry about his family's livelihood at all.

Even if Ryuichi Inoue accidentally sacrifices his life while protecting Seimei Suzuki, he doesn't need to worry about his wife and children's future.

The Suzuki Group has always been very generous to those who have made contributions, not only providing their families with substantial compensation but also continuing to support their livelihoods.

If Inoue Ryuichi fails to protect Suzuki Seimei, then he will naturally face punishment, and his family may also suffer as a result.

To some extent, Ryuichi Inoue's family members were also hostages held by the Suzuki Group.

The reason why those household slaves in ancient times were willing to risk their lives for their masters was because the lives of their entire families were in the hands of their masters.

Therefore, for Inoue Ryuichi, if Suzuki Seimei were to accidentally drown, he would rather drown with him. That way, he could at least be considered loyal, and his family would be well taken care of.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Just as Kurosaki Tamaka and Inoue Ryuichi were desperately searching for their young master, a dark shadow suddenly passed in front of them—it was Suzuki Seimei, who was holding Haibara Ai.

With the support of his advanced "Diving" skill, Suzuki Seimei can easily hold his breath for twenty minutes and is completely at ease in the sea.

Even with Ai Haibara in tow, Suzuki Seimei's swimming speed is still faster than Kurosaki Tamaka's.

"..."

Kurosaki Yuka and the others were slightly taken aback at first, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly swam in the direction where Suzuki Haruaki had left.

Perhaps because Ai Haibara accidentally exhaled when she was swept away by the sea, she was already struggling to breathe before Seimei Suzuki could even bring her to the surface.

"Uuuuuuu..."
