Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

The slender blonde beauty with long, flowing hair in front of me is none other than Chris Vineyard, a popular actress from America.

Moreover, this person has another identity: Vermouth, a formal member of the Black Organization, codenamed "Absinthe".

Chapter 234 The Thousand-Faced Witch (First Update, Please Vote)

Vermouth, who was chatting with others, subconsciously looked down at Suzuki Haruaki after hearing his voice.

"The young master of the Suzuki Group, huh?"

Looking at Suzuki Seimei's adorable little face, Vermouth immediately recalled information about him, and a gentle smile appeared on her face as she replied in her magnetic English, "Of course, cute little brother."

rustling...

After receiving the autograph book and marker from Suzuki Haruaki, Vermouth quickly signed her stage name and then left a bright red lip print in the corner of the autograph book.

Here you go!

When Vermouth returned the autographed book and marker to Suzuki Haruaki, she couldn't help but reach out and pat his little head.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully checking in with Vermouth. You are rewarded with a Master-level 'Disguise Technique' manual, which you can claim at any time."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei wasn't too surprised.

Because Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo both learned their disguise techniques from Toichi Kuroba.

The two are fellow disciples, so it's reasonable for them to receive the same reward from each other.

"use!"

As Suzuki Seimei silently recited the mantra, the advanced level of "Disguise Technique" instantly transformed into a torrent of memories, continuously flowing into his mind.

After Suzuki Seimei absorbed all the skill memories, his understanding of "Disguise Technique" reached a completely new level.

Skill Name: Disguise Technique

Type: Active Skill

Level: Perfect

Effects: Perfectly master the use of various makeup tools, control facial muscles, change facial contours, and transform into different people.

Consumption: Stamina

Cooldown time: None

Note: Guess who I am?

Compared to the advanced level of "Disguise Techniques", the perfect level of "Disguise Techniques" does not offer a significant improvement in makeup skills.

However, the perfect level of "Disguise Technique" has an additional ability to control facial muscles.

With this ability to control his facial muscles, Seimei Suzuki could change his appearance at will, even without the aid of makeup tools.

Of course!

The art of disguise has significant limitations. While Suzuki Seimei could change his appearance, he could not change his body shape.

In other words, Suzuki Seimei could use the "Disguise Technique" to transform himself into Conan or Mitsuhiko, but he couldn't transform into Genta, let alone an adult.

"what?"

Vermouth glanced at Conan and Ai Haibara, subconsciously ignoring the barely noticeable Ai Haibara, and focused her gaze on Conan.

Even though Conan was wearing glasses, Vermouth still felt a strange sense of familiarity when she looked at his somewhat familiar face.

"Sister Chris, we'll take our leave now, bye-bye~"

After carefully putting away Vermouth's autograph, Suzuki Seimei waved to her and continued wandering around the hall with Ai Haibara and Conan.

"Could it be you, Cool Guy...?"

Watching Conan's departing figure, Vermouth's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Vermouth holds a special position within the Black Organization and enjoys the deep trust of Renya Karasuma, thus wielding considerable influence within the organization.

Although Gin had long forgotten about Shinichi Kudo, he "poisoned" him with APTX4869.

To verify the efficacy of APTX4869, any target who was given this drug was subject to follow-up investigation by the Black Organization until death was confirmed.

Vermouth suddenly returned to the island nation because she learned that Shinichi Kudo had been given this drug, which is why she rushed back.

You should know that Vermouth treats Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri like her own son and daughter, and even values ​​them more than her own life.

If Shinichi Kudo really was killed by Gin, Vermouth might not say it outright, but she would definitely find a way to kill him behind his back.

Therefore, when Vermouth saw Conan just now, she was not only surprised, but also full of anticipation.

Vermouth sincerely hopes that Shinichi Kudo will also encounter that one-in-a-million possibility and turn from a high school student into a child.

However, Vermouth has not yet confirmed that Conan is Shinichi Kudo, so she plans to find an opportunity to get close to Conan and observe him carefully.

Meanwhile, Suzuki Seimei, along with Conan and the others, strolled around the memorial hall for a while and soon found two more people to sign in.

One of them was a prominent figure in the financial world, Kenzo Masuyama, the chairman of Masuyama Motors.

Another is Shigehiko Tonoguchi, a politician who has been surrounded by reporters recently and is suspected of accepting bribes.

Because of the allegations of embezzlement and bribery against Shigehiko Toguchi, a large group of reporters surrounded him, all vying to ask him about the alleged embezzlement and bribery.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei had no chance to get close to him and could only give up on Tonguchi Shigehiko as his sign-in target and instead set his sights on Masuyama Kenzo.

As he passed by Kenzo Masuyama, Seimei Suzuki casually raised his arm and nudged Masuyama's thigh with his elbow.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Masuyama Kenzo. You are rewarded with 2 points of mental energy, which you can claim at any time."

Although Kenzo Masuyama noticed Seimei Suzuki's little actions, he wasn't very wary of children and just assumed that Seimei Suzuki had accidentally bumped into him, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Moreover, Kenzo Masuyama had another mission tonight, and most of his attention was focused on Shigehiko Toguchi.

On the surface, Kenzo Masuyama is the chairman of Masuyama Motors, but he also has another identity: a veteran member of the Black Organization, codenamed "Pisco".

Kenzo Masuyama was able to become a famous businessman mainly because he had the support of the Black Organization in secret.

The fact that the Black Organization has existed in the island nation for so many years without being completely eradicated is undoubtedly due in no small part to the protection of official forces.

In order to gain the protection of official forces, the black-clad organization indirectly controlled a group of politicians from the island nation through coercion and enticement.

Shigehiko Tobuchi was one of them. He had secretly made many deals with the Black Organization and knew many of its secrets.

According to the intelligence received by Karasuma Renya, the police have obtained evidence of Tonguchi Shigehiko's embezzlement and bribery, and will formally arrest him tomorrow.

Since Shigehiko Tobuchi has lost power and may expose the secrets of the Black Organization, there is no need for him to exist.

Therefore, Karasuma Renya gave Gin and the others orders to eliminate Tonguchi Shigehiko at tonight's memorial service, and the person in charge of carrying out the task was Masuyama Kenzo.

Chapter 235 Lightning-Fast Emergency Response (Second Update, Please Vote)

Perhaps it was because Kenzo Masuyama was so well disguised, or perhaps Conan simply didn't expect that such a big shot as him would be a member of the Black Organization, that Conan didn't discover the existence of "Pisco".

After all, in Conan's eyes, the Black Organization is just a criminal gang that can't be brought to light, and not enough to make a big shot like Kenzo Masuyama condescend to join.

It's not entirely Conan's fault for thinking that way, because Suzuki Seimei's secret involvement led to his lack of a proper understanding of the Black Organization.

In the original storyline, Conan only gradually understood the terrifying nature of the Black Organization after witnessing Akemi Miyano's murder and later encountering Shiho Miyano, who betrayed the organization.

However, Miyano Akemi has now been secretly rescued by Suzuki Seimei, and Haibara Ai has been adopted by the Suzuki family. Conan has no idea about her true identity.

Therefore, in Conan's mind, the Black Organization is at most a troublesome criminal gang, but not enough to frighten him.

Although Conan hasn't confirmed who "Pisco" is, based on his previous overhearing of Gin and Vodka's conversation, he's certain that Shigehiko Tobuchi is the Black Organization's target.

As long as we keep our eyes on Shigehiko Tsuruguchi as bait, we won't have to worry about the big fish "Pisco" not taking the bait!

Of course!

While Conan doesn't yet take the Black Organization too seriously, he won't underestimate such a criminal organization either.

So Conan used the excuse of going to the toilet to run to the toilet by himself, changed his voice with a voice changer, and called Inspector Megure as Shinichi Kudo.

When Inspector Megure learned that someone was planning to kill Shigehiko Tomoguchi during the memorial service, he immediately led a team of detectives to the Beika Hotel to secretly protect Shigehiko Tomoguchi.

"Clap clap clap..."

Suddenly, the host of the memorial service clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. Holding the microphone, he said, "Distinguished guests, please enjoy these slides that Director Jiu Juan kept privately, which he did not release to the public during his lifetime."

"Slideshow? Oh no!"

Upon hearing this, Conan's expression changed drastically.

shhhhhh...

As soon as the host finished speaking, all the lights in the hall went out, and the projector projected the slides onto the central screen in the hall.

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

Taking advantage of the darkness that enveloped the hall, Suzuki Seimei, aided by the perfected level of Assassination Technique, silently approached Tonguchi Shigehiko and gently touched him.

After successfully obtaining the sign-in reward, Suzuki Seimei returned to Ai Haibara's side without anyone noticing.

"Crack!"

Just as Conan was anxiously searching for Shigehiko Tobuchi, a conspicuous flash suddenly appeared in the darkness.

Seeing this, the host laughed and said, "Even if these photos are very precious, you can't capture them with a flash!"

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing the host's words, the guests present gave polite smiles.

"boom!!!"

A loud thud suddenly rang out, sounding particularly jarring in the darkness and startling everyone present.

"what happened?"

"I do not know!"

"Turn on the lights right now!"
