Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

After all, not every member of the Black Organization is a superman capable of taking on a hundred enemies single-handedly.

If the Suzuki Group is truly pushed to the brink, a desperate counterattack could severely cripple the Black Organization, even if it fails to eliminate them.

Unless absolutely necessary, even a core member like Gin cannot take action against the heir to the Suzuki Group, lest it cause huge losses to the organization.

After calming Gin down, Vodka turned to Suzuki Seimei and yelled, "Hey kid, don't yell like that! My brother may have long hair, but he's a real man!"

Vodka was also filled with lingering fear. If it weren't for his presence, Gin might have actually gone ahead and killed someone.

It's not that Gin would disregard the organization's interests and forcibly kill Suzuki Seimei, but rather that his older brother was somewhat face-blind.

Although Gin always tells Vodka that he never remembers the faces and names of people he has killed, Vodka's observation is that his older brother simply can't remember the faces of his targets.

Every time Gin goes to kill someone, he prepares a photo of the target beforehand and carefully observes the target's hair color and hairstyle to avoid mistaking the target.

"A man...?"

Upon hearing Vodka's words, Suzuki Seimei looked on incredulously and stared at Gin from head to toe.

(╬￣俣)＝○# (￣#)３￣)

Faced with Suzuki Seimei's suspicious gaze, Gin couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling an urge to beat up a kid.

What the hell!

Do I really look like a woman?

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

Just as Gin was about to explode, Suzuki Haruaki suddenly bowed and apologized, "Because last time at the amusement park, I saw you two riding the roller coaster together, and you were wearing matching outfits, plus this uncle has long hair, so I thought you were a couple..."

puff!

Before Suzuki Seimei could finish speaking, Haibara Ai suddenly burst out laughing.

┐(?~?)┌

When Ai Haibara heard Suzuki Haruaki say that the Black Organization's clothes were matching couple outfits, she really couldn't hold back anymore.

"..."

Gin's lips twitched; he didn't know how to retort.

Because what Suzuki Haruaki said seemed to make a lot of sense; it did seem strange for two grown men to go to an amusement park and ride a roller coaster together.

It's normal that Suzuki Seimei would mistake them for a couple... what a load of rubbish!

If it weren't for the fact that Suzuki Seimei is the young master of the Suzuki Group, Gin would definitely have torn his foul mouth to shreds.

As a key member of the Black Organization, when has Gin ever suffered such humiliation?

"Let's go!"

Gin glanced at the black van that was slowly approaching in the distance, forcibly suppressed his anger, and left with Vodka.

If it weren't for Inoue Ryuichi and the others following him, Gin would definitely have given Suzuki Seimei a good beating and taught him the lesson that loose lips sink ships!

Gin might not dare to kill Suzuki Haruaki, but he could certainly beat him up.

After all, being killed by someone and being beaten up are two completely different concepts.

Of course!

Even if Gin wanted to beat up Suzuki Seimei, he would have to find a secluded place and beat him up secretly first.

However, Gin and Vodka still had a mission to complete and couldn't risk failing by clashing with the Suzuki Group's bodyguards, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Vodka!

After Gin and Vodka walked around the street corner, Gin suddenly stopped and said in an extremely serious tone, "I don't want anyone else in the organization to know what happened today."

If the other members of the organization knew that Gin had been humiliated by a little kid, they would laugh themselves to death.

Don't I, Gin, have any pride?!

Vodka looked puzzled and asked, "Huh? Did anything happen today? No, I don't think so! How come I don't know anything about it?"

(* ￣︶￣)

Seeing Vodka's cooperation, Gin smiled with satisfaction.

Chapter 233 Winery Annual Meeting (Fifth update, bonus chapter for 600 monthly votes)

call--

Watching Gin and the others leave, Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Seimei Suzuki.

For Ai Haibara, Gin is an indelible shadow in her heart, the embodiment of a nightmare in her dreams.

Seeing Gin repeatedly humiliated in front of Suzuki Harumi, looking like he had no way to express his suffering, she suddenly felt that Gin wasn't so scary after all.

As long as my little angel is there, a mere nightmare is nothing to fear!

After Gin and the others left, Conan gradually recovered from his shock.

To be honest, when Gin looked at him just now, it almost scared Conan out of his wits.

Fortunately, what Seimei said earlier diverted Gin's attention; otherwise, if they knew that Shinichi Kudo was still alive, it would be a huge problem.

Of course!

What Conan didn't know was that Gin had long forgotten about Shinichi Kudo.

After all, among those killed by Gin were some big shots, and a mere high school detective couldn't even be considered one of them.

Even if Shinichi Kudo hadn't turned into a child, Gin probably wouldn't recognize him, let alone Shinichi Kudo having become Conan.

(?w?)

After a brief moment of lingering fear, Conan's reckless spirit reignited, and he gazed at Gin's beloved car with burning eyes.

Having finally discovered Gin and his group's trail, they certainly couldn't miss the opportunity to track them down.

So after Suzuki Haruaki and the others left, Conan secretly returned.

Using the lock-picking skills he learned in Hawaii, Conan easily pried open Gin's car door and planted a listening device inside.

Although Gin quickly discovered the bug hidden in the car, Conan still learned an important piece of information from his conversation with Vodka.

That means the Black Organization is planning to kill someone at the Beika Hotel tonight.

The person who carried out this murder plan was an organization member codenamed 'Pisco'.

After learning that the Black Organization was planning to commit murder, whether out of a detective's duty or to find more clues about the Black Organization, Conan felt it necessary to go to the Beika Hotel in person.

As night slowly fell, many elites from all walks of life in the island nation also rushed to Beika Hotel with invitations to the memorial service.

The memorial service held tonight at Beika Hotel is to commemorate the famous film director Akira Sakamaki.

Therefore, in addition to politicians and wealthy businessmen, the guests who came to the memorial service also included some popular celebrities, music producers and directors.

"Damn it! Everyone who came to the memorial service was dressed in black, so there's no way to find Pisk."

Conan, who sneaked into the memorial hall, felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the guests dressed in black suits and tuxedos.

It strangely reminds me of a winery's annual party!

"Snapped!"

Just as Conan was furtively searching for a potential target, Pisco, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder, startling him.

"Conan!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Conan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the person, and said irritably, "Seimei, do you know that when people scare each other, they can really scare them to death?"

┓(′-`)┏

Suzuki Haruaki shrugged and said, "You can't blame me for that. I called you several times already, but you just didn't hear me."

What are you doing here?

Conan asked instinctively, then noticed the black evening suits worn by Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai, and replied to himself, "It seems you're here for a memorial service."

The Suzuki Group's subsidiaries cover various industries across the island nation, so it's quite normal for Suzuki Seimei and his colleagues to receive invitations to the memorial service.

"By the way, Conan, what are you doing here? Ran-neechan and Uncle Mori, are they here too?"

After Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, he looked around but did not see the two familiar figures.

Conan feigned embarrassment and explained, "Uncle Mori and the others didn't come. I heard there are a lot of celebrities here, so I'm seeing if I can get a few autographs."

Upon hearing such a clumsy explanation, both Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai's expressions changed slightly.

If Conan were truly just an elementary school student, it wouldn't be entirely incomprehensible that he would sneak into a memorial service to get a celebrity's autograph.

However, both Seimei Suzuki and Ai Haibara know Conan's true identity, so they certainly don't believe he would come to a memorial service just for a celebrity's autograph.

Considering what happened after school today when the Junior Detective League encountered Gin and Vodka, Suzuki Haruaki has reason to suspect that Conan secretly came here to investigate the Black Organization.

In other words, it is highly likely that members of the Black Organization were hiding at this memorial service.

Ai Haibara quickly guessed this possibility and nervously pulled down her black veil hat, covering half of her face.

Instead of exposing Conan's lie, Suzuki Haruaki smiled and suggested, "In that case, why don't you come with us? I happen to know quite a few celebrities; I can get you their autographs!"

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Conan did not refuse Suzuki Seimei's kindness and readily agreed.

With Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai as cover, Conan can openly observe those suspicious guests.

Compared to lively celebration parties and birthday banquets, the atmosphere at a memorial service is noticeably somber and rather dull.

Originally, Suzuki Seimei wasn't particularly interested in the memorial service; he was just going through the motions.

However, since Conan has appeared here, it means that a case is very likely to happen here.

As long as there are cases, there will be no shortage of targets to check in on, so Suzuki Seimei will not feel bored.

So, under the pretext of getting Conan's autograph, Suzuki Haruaki led Conan and Ai Haibara around the lobby, looking for potential autograph targets.

They hadn't walked more than a few steps when Suzuki Seimei's gaze was drawn to a blonde beauty, and he quickly led Conan and the others over.

Suzuki Haruaki walked up to the blonde beauty, tugged at her sleeve, and asked in English, "Sister Chris, we are your fans, can we get your autograph?"
