Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"boom!!!"

After being rescued by Suzuki Seimei, the short-haired beauty, whose momentum had not diminished, showed no sign of slowing down and knocked Conan, who was unable to dodge in time, flying away.

In fact, with Conan's skills, he could easily dodge the impact from the short-haired beauty.

However, in front of Ran Mouri, Conan always pretended that he couldn't ice skate, and naturally dared not reveal his skilled ice skating technique.

Compared to being beaten up by Ran Mouri, Conan felt it was easier to be knocked away by someone.

"oops!"

"what!"

Conan and the short-haired beauty both cried out in pain and fell hard onto the ice.

"Conan, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Ran Mouri quickly helped Conan up from the ground, her pretty face full of worry.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm fine."

Seeing Ran Mouri's worried expression, Conan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Wearing knee pads doesn't hurt at all."

"Chihiro, are you alright?"

A man in a brown suit slid anxiously toward the short-haired beauty.

Upon hearing this, Chihiro Itami cried out in a spoiled tone, "It hurts so much! Come help me, Kangji!"

"Honestly, you're not very good at skating, why are you skating so fast!" Seeing that Chihiro Itami wasn't injured, Yasuharu Misawa quickly bent down and helped her up.

"They didn't do it on purpose~"

"Now is the only time you can act cute to get boys' attention."

Seeing this, Sano Izumi, with her light brown, shoulder-length hair and cold, beautiful face, flashed a cold glint in her eyes and said sarcastically, "Chihiro, a rich girl like you who is full of curiosity and liveliness will be an old woman once you are over thirty."

"What are you saying? Why do you always have to make sarcastic remarks to me?"

Upon hearing this, Chihiro Itami retorted without backing down, "Besides, aren't you a year older than me? Even if someone's going to become an old woman, it'll be you who becomes an old woman first!"

"you……"

Sano Izumi was taken aback by Itami Chihiro's words and couldn't help but clench her fists, saying, "Every time I see you pretending to be cute, it makes me furious!"

In a man's eyes, a rich young lady like Chihiro Itami, who likes to act cute and charming, might actually be quite adorable.

However, in Sano Izumi's eyes, Itami Chihiro's pretentious behavior was extremely annoying.

In particular, Chihiro Itami enjoys toying with men's feelings, which not only caused the death of her best friend but also made her a cuckold.

"Alright, alright, you two, stop arguing. We clay shooting enthusiasts rarely get to see each other, so let's stop bickering!"

Another woman with squinty eyes and long black hair saw this and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

Staring at Chihiro Itami and Izumi Sano, and glancing at the three large characters "Check-in Available" floating above their heads, Haruaki Suzuki asked with feigned curiosity, "What is clay shooting?"

"Little brother, so cute~"

Looking at Suzuki Haruaki's adorable little face, Itami Chihiro subconsciously reached out and patted his head, explaining with a smile, "Clay shooting is an activity where you aim at a small clay disc and shoot it with a shotgun."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Itami Chihiro. You are rewarded with three years of [Lifespan]. You can claim it at any time."

The moment Itami Chihiro touched Suzuki Seimei, a pleasant system notification sounded in his ear.

"Oh! So it's the frisbee game on TV!" Suzuki Haruaki exclaimed in surprise.

"We made a promise to go do clay shooting together later," said Komatsu Yoriko, who has squinty eyes. "Shooting together is much more fun than playing alone."

"It's a pity that we haven't seen each other since that incident happened half a year ago," Chihiro Itami said, shaking her head.

"That incident six months ago?"

Upon hearing this, Conan's eyes lit up. He seemed to sense the scent of a case and asked curiously, "What happened six months ago?"

"Little brother, this is a very scary story! Just six months ago, we..."

"Alright! Chihiro, stop talking!"

Before Chihiro Itami could finish speaking, a magnetic voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her.

Wearing a blue down jacket, Oda Kuniyoshi, with a rugged appearance, said in a somewhat serious tone: "And I have already stated beforehand that if you mention that matter again, I will turn back immediately."

As soon as Oda Kuniyoshi finished speaking, he put on his roller skates and skated to the other side of the rink.

"What the hell! This guy is so annoying, he just acts cool because he's handsome!"

Watching Oda Kuniyoshi's departing figure, Itami Chihiro couldn't help but stomp her feet in anger.

"But... Chihiro, you shouldn't have brought that up."

"I didn't do it on purpose, I just accidentally let it slip."

Chihiro Itami knew she was in the wrong, but she couldn't bring herself to apologize to Kunitomo Oda, so she changed the subject, saying, "I'm going to the restroom first. You guys wait here for me, I'll be right back."

Komatsu Yoriko said speechlessly, "No way! The fireworks festival is about to start, why are you going to the bathroom at this time?"

"I'm not interested in the fireworks display here at all; I've seen it several times already. I'm going to grab a coffee nearby. You guys can wait here!"

Seeing Itami Chihiro leave, Sano Izumi also made an excuse and temporarily left the skating rink.

As Sano Izumi slid past him, Suzuki Haruaki quietly reached out his small hand and tapped her thigh.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully checking in to Sano Izumi. You are rewarded with an [Unlimited Shotgun], which you can claim at any time."

Equipment Name: Infinite Shotgun

Type: Weapon

Quality: Rare

Effect 1 (Unlimited Ammo): When the shotgun's ammo is depleted, a new ammo will be generated every ten seconds.

Effect 2 (Shotgun Splash): When firing a shotgun, the attack range of the bullets is increased by 50%.

Note: Do you know what a human-shaped hornet's nest is?

After reviewing the attributes of the [Infinite Shotgun], Suzuki Seimei nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Sano Izumi, a thoughtful expression on his face.

If Suzuki Seimei is not mistaken, a case is about to occur here.

Furthermore, the victim should be Chihiro Itami, and the murderer is most likely Izumi Sano.

Suzuki Seimei slid up to Komatsu Yoriko, raised his fair and delicate face, and asked with a curious look, "Big sister, what exactly happened six months ago that you were talking about?"

Chapter 229 Someone's Occupied the Toilet (First Update, Please Vote)

According to the laws of detective fiction, if any character in a case mentions something from the past, it's highly likely they're seeking revenge.

If Suzuki Haruaki wants to stop Sano Izumi from killing, then he must first figure out what Sano Izumi's motive is.

Otherwise, even if Suzuki Seimei stopped Sano Izumi from committing murder this time, there's no guarantee she won't have the urge to kill again in the future.

"This one……"

When asked by Suzuki Haruaki, Komatsu Yoriko looked somewhat embarrassed.

After all, Itami Chihiro had just been lectured by Oda Kuniyoshi because of this incident, and Komatsu Yoriko really didn't want to go against the grain.

"Big sister, I'm really curious, please tell me quickly~"

When Suzuki Seimei saw that Komatsu Yoriko was not cooperating, he had no choice but to use the "Word Spirit Technique".

As the "Word of Power" was activated, Suzuki Seimei's voice was instantly filled with an indescribable magic, causing Komatsu Yoriko to unconsciously reveal her true feelings.

"Actually, about six months ago, among the friends who played clay shooting with us, there was a man named Yamamoto Narita."

Komatsu Yoriko sighed and said, "But during a shooting activity six months ago, Narita's shotgun accidentally went off, and he was shot in the head and died on the spot."

After that, the few of us never played clay shooting together again.

Because Chihiro had dated Narita for a while, we were worried she might be reminded of those times, so we haven't contacted her for clay shooting for the past six months.

Upon hearing this, Misawa Koji, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly and said, "Yarako, how can you talk to a child about such things?"

"I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Upon hearing Misawa Yasuharu's words, Komatsu Yoriko immediately woke up and nervously looked around, afraid that Oda Kunitomo would overhear her.

"Shotgun misfire? Accidental death?"

Seimei Suzuki glanced at Conan subconsciously and silently shook his head.

impossible!

With Conan around, how could it possibly be an accident?

If Suzuki Seimei is not mistaken, Yamamoto Narita's death is definitely related to Itami Chihiro.

The reason Sano Izumi wanted to kill him was probably because she liked Yamamoto Narita, or had some special relationship with him, which is why she wanted to avenge him.

(〃＞ dishes＜)

Damn it, there are still too few clues!

From what Komatsu Yoriko said, Suzuki Seimei still couldn't find out the true cause of Yamamoto Narita's death.

However, Suzuki Seimei didn't have time to investigate the matter further, because Sano Izumi could kill Itami Chihiro at any moment.

"Sister Sonoko, I need to go to the restroom. Wait here for me, I'll be right back."

"Wait a minute! I need to use the restroom too, I'll go with you. Ran, please look after Ai."

After speaking, Sonoko took Suzuki Seimei's small hand and walked towards the nearest restroom.

However, when Sonoko arrived at the restroom door, she found that the door to the women's restroom was closed and there was a sign that read "Cleaning in progress, please do not disturb." She was quite upset.

Besides the garden, several female tourists were also standing at the entrance to the restrooms, clearly being stopped as well.

???

Seeing this, Suzuki Harumi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He turned to Sonoko and said, "Sonoko-neechan, don't you find it strange? We didn't seem to see the older sister who bumped into Conan on our way here."

"What's so strange about that?"
