Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

To be more precise, the man in the baseball cap was actually staring at Dokyo Masahiko!

Because Suzuki Haruaki knew that Dokyo Masahiko was not a good person, when he saw this fierce-looking man in a baseball cap, he did not assume that he was a bad person. Instead, he quickly made the connection to his true identity.

Suzuki Haruaki thought to himself, "Plainclothes police? It seems the police here aren't so incompetent after all."

Even if the island nation's police are incompetent, they surely couldn't have failed to notice that Dokyo Masahiko and the brown-haired woman who was murdered a year ago were actually boyfriend and girlfriend.

Now that another brown-haired woman has been murdered, and with Masahiko Dosho just happens to be nearby, the police will inevitably suspect him.

Therefore, it is quite normal to send an undercover police officer to secretly monitor Dokyo Masahiko in order to see if any evidence of his crimes can be collected.

After guessing the identity of the man in the baseball cap, Suzuki Haruaki turned to Ai Haibara and comforted her with a smile, "Ai, don't worry, I think that uncle is probably not a bad person."

"Seimei, why do you think he's not a bad person?" Conan couldn't help but interject when he heard this.

Suzuki Haruaki said in a serious tone, "Because that uncle gave me a feeling that was very similar to Officer Matsumoto."

"Looks a lot like Officer Matsumoto?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Conan's eyes, and he stroked his chin, saying, "Could it be that this person is..."

Who is Officer Matsumoto?

Ai Haibara had never met Officer Matsumoto before, and she cast an inquiring glance at Haruaki Suzuki.

"Officer Matsumoto's full name is Matsumoto Kiyonaga. He is Inspector Megure's superior. He has a very serious appearance and gives people the feeling of a mafia boss."

"You mean that man might be a policeman? Then why is he keeping an eye on Sonoko and the others?"

Suzuki Haruaki said meaningfully, "Who told you that the people he was staring at were Sonoko and Ran?"

"Could it be that the person he's watching is actually...?"

"Hey? Aren't these Ran and Sonoko? Oh, so you guys came to Izu to play too!"

Before Ai Haibara could finish speaking, Inspector Yokomizo suddenly waved and walked over, asking expectantly, "Mr. Mori, are you here too?"

"No, it was just the five of us who came to play this time. My dad didn't come with us."

Seeing the expectant look on Inspector Yokomizo's face, Ran Mouri shook her head somewhat shyly.

Officer Yokomizo's full name is Yokomizo Sango, and he is a detective in the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters.

Several months ago, when Inspector Yokomizo was investigating the "Tenkaichi Night Festival Murder Case," he happened to run into Kogoro Mouri and his friends who were traveling there. With Kogoro's help, Yokomizo successfully caught the real murderer.

It is precisely because of this that Inspector Yokomizo has become a huge fan of Kogoro Mouri and considers himself Kogoro Mouri's number one disciple.

Five people?

Upon hearing this, Inspector Yokomizo subconsciously glanced at Ran Mouri and the others, and couldn't help but ask with some surprise, "Aren't there six of you?"

“Officer Yokomizo, Mr. Daoxie is a new friend of ours, he didn’t come with us,” Ran Mouri said, waving her hand.

"I see, I misunderstood."

Officer Yokomizo paused mid-sentence, then asked with some confusion, "Huh? Sir, haven't we met somewhere before?"

"Officer, I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I don't remember seeing you anywhere before."

Faced with Inspector Yokomizo's questioning, Dokyo Masahiko's heart skipped a beat, but he smiled calmly and said, "Um... Sonoko, I have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now. I'll drive back to pick you up tonight."

Bye-bye~

Watching Dokyo Masahiko's departing figure, Sonoko waved her hand with a lovestruck expression.

"This guy is suspicious!"

Upon seeing this, Conan and Ai Haibara unconsciously narrowed their eyes.

If the man in the baseball cap was indeed an undercover police officer secretly monitoring Dokyo Masahiko.

So, the way Dokyo Masahiko was in such a hurry to leave after seeing Inspector Yokomizo really made him seem like he had a guilty conscience.

Chapter 218 The Twin Pact (First Update, Please Vote)

Officer Yokomizo stared at Dosaku Masahiko's departing figure for a while, feeling that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully completing the Yokomizo Enlightenment. You are rewarded with one [Twin Pact], which you can claim at any time."

While everyone's attention was drawn to Dokyo Masahiko, Suzuki Haruaki quietly walked up to Inspector Yokomizo and touched his thigh.

Item Name: Twin Pact

Type: Consumables

Quality: Rare

Effect: Allows users and other creatures to enter into a life-and-death twin contract, based on the resources of both parties.

The two parties who sign the contract will share their remaining lifespan and split the damages they suffer until death comes!

Note: "In life and death, we made a vow. Holding your hand, we will grow old together."

"Huh? This is good stuff!"

After reviewing the attributes of the [Twin Pact], Suzuki Seimei's eyes lit up.

If one can use the [Twin Pact] to form a contract with some powerful creatures, the effects it can produce are immeasurable.

For example, if you use the "Twin Pact" to sign a twin pact with a whale, you basically don't need to worry about getting hurt.

What would be a fatal wound to a human would be nothing more than a scratch on a large marine creature like a whale.

If one could sign a contract with a long-lived species like a vampire or a dragon, one could directly gain an extended lifespan.

However, the Twin Contract also has a major limitation: both parties must be willing to sign the contract.

In other words, the Twin Contract can only be used by intelligent beings. It would be extremely difficult to form a contract with large marine creatures such as whales.

"Ok?"

Inspector Yokomizo felt as if someone had touched him. He subconsciously looked down, bent down, and patted Suzuki Haruaki's little head, asking, "Little brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Suzuki Haruaki, I'm Sonoko's younger brother, nice to meet you, officer!"

Looking at Suzuki Haruaki's adorable little face, Inspector Yokomizo didn't suspect him of having any bad intentions and replied with a smile, "Hello there! Little brother~"

After greeting Suzuki Seimei, Inspector Yokomizo turned his attention to Ran Mouri and Sonoko, and said in a serious tone, "Ran, Sonoko, you two need to be careful too. There was just a murder case around here."

You two girls need to be extra careful with these three little ones. Don't go to remote places.

If you encounter any suspicious individuals, remember to call me directly, and I will handle it.

"Okay, we understand."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri nodded obediently.

"Then I'll take my leave now. Please give my regards to Mr. Mori!"

Watching Officer Yokomizo's departing figure, Sonoko remarked with a sigh, "Officer Yokomizo is quite enthusiastic, but his case-solving skills are a bit lacking."

"If Uncle Mori were here, he could catch the murderer in no time."

Hehe~

Hearing Sonoko's words, Conan's lips twitched. He felt that Inspector Yokomizo was much more reliable than Kogoro Mouri.

"Alright, let's go back to the hotel! There's really nothing to see here."

After speaking, Ran Mouri led Seimei Suzuki and the others toward the inn where they were staying.

The weather at the seaside is also unpredictable, changing in an instant!

Shortly after Suzuki Seimei and his companions returned to the inn, a heavy rain began to fall outside, and it showed no signs of stopping until almost dinnertime.

"Seriously, the weather is really not cooperating. I was really looking forward to my date tonight!"

Standing in the corridor in front of the Wawu Hotel, looking at the torrential rain outside, Sonoko glanced at her watch with a hint of helplessness and said, "I really hope Mr. Daoxie can drive over soon."

"Okay, okay~"

Seeing that Sonoko had checked her watch five or six times in just ten minutes, Ran Mouri patted her shoulder with amusement and said, "Don't worry, the male lead always shows up a little later, right?"

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the hotel door was opened from the inside, and Makoto Kyogoku silently walked out and placed an umbrella next to Sonoko.

???

Before Sonoko and the others could figure out what was going on, Makoto Kyogoku returned to the hotel and silently closed the door.

"What's this umbrella for? Is it meant for us to use?"

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but tease, "Maybe that older brother has a bit of a crush on Sonoko-neechan too~"

?(????w????)?

Sonoko's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "I have no interest in this kind of gloomy man."

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said in a somewhat meaningful tone, "Sonoko-neechan, if the girls at Beika High School heard you say that, they would definitely beat you up."

Why?

Suzuki Haruaki shrugged and said, "Haven't you recognized him yet? That big brother from earlier is the current Japanese karate champion!"

"So it was him!"

Upon hearing Suzuki Seimei's words, Ran Mouri finally remembered where she had seen Makoto Kyogoku before.

Conan asked curiously, "Ran-neechan, is this person very powerful?"

“He’s amazing! His strength is far above mine. Ever since he publicly challenged the previous karate champion, Master Dan Shui Liu, half a year ago and defeated him within twenty moves, he has become the youngest karate champion in the island nation.”

Ran Mouri excitedly introduced, "Moreover, it is said that he has challenged four hundred karate masters in the past two years without ever being defeated, which is why he is also known as the 'Kicking Prince'!"

"Four hundred consecutive wins?! That's amazing!"

Although Sonoko had never studied karate, she often cheered for Ran Mouri's karate matches, so she was well aware of how difficult it was to achieve a 400-win streak.

Because those karate masters who are challenged will not just foolishly wait for others to challenge them.
