Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"engagement?!"

When Inspector Megure and his team heard this, their jaws nearly dropped to the floor in shock.

After all, Ayako in front of them was about the same age as Ran Mouri, at most seventeen or eighteen years old, while the deceased Kohei Urata was already twenty-seven years old.

"That's right, I originally planned to marry Kohei after graduating from high school."

Ayako said with a look of self-reproach, "But a while ago I suddenly felt very uneasy, so last week I called and refused to marry Kohei."

Since then, he hasn't wanted to see me when I go to the hospital, which is why I did this.

"No wonder! I was just wondering why my iced coffee turned into iced cola!"

As Hong Shangwu spoke, she took out two small bags from her pocket, which were also unopened creamer and syrup.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but say with some dissatisfaction, "Miss Mai, why didn't you tell us about this earlier?"

"I'm worried that you might suspect me of being a murderer because of this!" Hong Shangwu explained without changing her expression. "What if you think I switched the drinks in the cup? Wouldn't that be a huge injustice to me?"

"..."

Inspector Megure didn't say anything more after hearing this explanation.

When faced with police suspicion, normal people will try to reduce the suspicion on themselves and subconsciously conceal things that are not good for them, which is only human nature.

Kogoro Mouri suddenly exclaimed, "I understand! Inspector Megure, I know what's going on!"

"Brother Mori, do you know who the murderer is?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the deceased actually committed suicide."

"suicide?!"

"That's right. Think about it, the deceased was dumped by his girlfriend, who is ten years younger than him, just last week. It's normal for him to be unable to understand it right now, isn't it?"

"Even if you say that, it's still a bit too much of a stretch..."

"That's right!"

Before Inspector Megure could finish speaking, Mai Kougami suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Yumemi Noda and Yota Mitani, saying, "It seems like Kohei has been looking for something all day, hasn't he?"

"what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure quickly asked, "Have you thought of something?"

Noda Yumemi said, "Actually, we came together in Kohei's car today, and he did look a little off today."

“That’s right, it seemed like Kohei was looking for something while he was driving,” Yota Mitani added.

Inspector Megure thought for a moment and said, "In that case, Takagi, would you please take these men and search the deceased's car to see if you can find anything?"

"Yes!"

Accompanied by Officer Takagi, Mai Kougami and the other two took him to the parking lot.

"That is……"

Watching Officer Takagi and his team leave, Heiji Hattori and Conan's expressions changed drastically, and they exchanged a glance.

The evidence has been found!

The murderer really outsmarted himself this time, doing something completely unnecessary.

About ten minutes later, Officer Takagi returned with Mai Kougami and the others.

"Hey Takagi, how did it go?"

Officer Takagi picked up the evidence bag containing the plastic bottle and handed it to Inspector Megure, saying, "I found this small bottle containing an unidentified liquid in Mr. Kohei's locker. I suspect it may contain potassium cyanide."

"Thank you for your hard work. The forensic team just checked the beverage cups that the four of them drank from, and they didn't find any signs of poisoning."

"So, in that case, Mr. Kohei really did commit suicide?"

Inspector Megure sighed and said, "I think this must be a tragic suicide case!"

call--

Hearing Inspector Megure's words, Mai Kougami secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

We finally managed to fool those idiot cops!

"No! Inspector Megure, this case is not a suicide, but a premeditated murder."

Just as Kouue Mai was secretly rejoicing, Hattori Heiji suddenly spoke up: "The culprit is you—Miss Kouue Mai!"

Hong Shangwu's expression suddenly changed drastically, and she exclaimed excitedly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be a murderer?"

Inspector Megure said, "Hey, Hattori, you're saying that Mai is the murderer. Do you have any solid evidence?"

"The evidence is on her. If the forensic police examine her hoodie, I think they should be able to detect residual potassium cyanide."

)?Д?(

Upon hearing this, Hong Shangwu's face turned deathly pale.

Seeing the unpleasant expression on Kou Shang Mai's face, Noda Yumemi and the others asked in disbelief, "Mai, could it really be you?"

Seeing this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey Hattori, what's going on here?"

"Potassium cyanide is a highly toxic substance that is extremely difficult to dissolve in ice water, so the murderer did not put it in the beverage, but rather in the ice cubes of the chilled beverage."

Hattori Heiji explained with a smile, "All you have to do is dig a hole in an ice cube, inject potassium cyanide into it, and then put the ice cube containing potassium cyanide into the deceased's drink. That way, the deceased will be poisoned and die when they eat the ice."

"I see. If the potassium cyanide was hidden inside the ice, then it's normal that no toxic reaction was detected in the cup."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure suddenly realized what was going on, and then couldn't help but ask, "Then how did you know there would be residual potassium cyanide in her pockets and hoods?"

"Just now, when Ms. Mai and the others went with Inspector Takagi to look for clues in the deceased's car, it was clearly raining outside, but she didn't put her hat on. Don't you find that strange?"

Hattori Heiji glanced at Kougami Mai and said with certainty, "I think the reason Miss Mai doesn't wear a hat is probably because she put the ice cube containing potassium cyanide from her cup into her hat, and she's worried about getting the poison on her head."

"People really shouldn't do bad things, or even God can't stand it."

Upon hearing this, Hong Shangwu couldn't help but give a bitter smile and said, "If it weren't for the rain, you wouldn't have discovered that I'm the murderer, would you?"

"Mai, it really is you!"

Upon hearing this, Noda Yumemi and the others couldn't help but ask, "Why did you kill Kohei? Aren't we good friends?"

"Because Kohei is simply not qualified to be a doctor!"

Hong Shangwu said with a frosty expression, "You should also know that Gengping originally planned to publish a paper at this conference, right?"

However, not long ago, our hospital admitted a patient whose medical records were enough to refute Kohei's paper, and not long after, his condition deteriorated rapidly and he died.

I initially thought it was just an accident, but it turned out that Kohei had deliberately given the patient the wrong medication to ensure his paper would be published smoothly.

"What?! Kohei actually..."

Upon hearing this, Noda Yumemi and the others suddenly understood Kougami Mai.

As doctors, Yumemi Noda and Yota Mitani understand the importance of medical ethics better than the average person.

Patients choose to go to the hospital for treatment because they believe that doctors can help them; they entrust their lives to doctors.

That is precisely why, if doctors disregard medical ethics, the consequences can be dire.

If doctors are only greedy for money, then the outcome is still relatively good. At most, they will prescribe some expensive drugs to patients and fleece them like fat sheep.

The worst-case scenario, of course, is encountering a doctor like Kohei Urata, who kills a patient for his own selfish reasons.

Because doctors are experts in pharmacology, even if they kill patients with drugs, it is difficult for outsiders to detect it.

A doctor without medical ethics is more terrifying than a murderer!

Although Mai Kougami's motive for murder was good, murder is murder, and Inspector Megure and his team remained impartial and escorted her into the police car.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Hongshangwuyi. You are rewarded with a Proficient-level Medical Skills manual, which you can claim at any time."

Taking advantage of the moment when Kougami Mai was being put into the police car, Suzuki Harumi casually passed by her and touched her thigh silently.

"use!"

As Suzuki Seimei silently recited the name, the Proficient-level "Medical Skills" book instantly transformed into a torrent of memories, flooding into his mind.

Once Suzuki Seimei had absorbed all these skills and memories, his medical abilities had reached the level of an ordinary doctor.

Moreover, the medical skills mastered by Suzuki Seimei not only included Western medical skills, but also some traditional Chinese medical skills.

It's perfect!

Karuizawa Hotel

Shortly after the Teitan High School carnival ended, the weather turned hot again, and the much-anticipated summer vacation began.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko discussed it and then took Seimei Suzuki and the others to Karuizawa for a relaxing vacation.

"Papaya, peach, and cherry..."

Wearing sunglasses and reclining on a beach chair, Kogoro Mouri gazed at the hot swimsuit beauties in the pool, muttering the names of various fruits to himself, "Summer is the perfect time to eat fruit!"

However, with Ran Mouri watching over him, even if Kogoro Mouri's heart was burning with desire, he could only feast his eyes on the poolside.

On the contrary, Suzuki Seimei and Conan, taking advantage of their young age, were able to easily mingle with the older women in swimsuits at the swimming pool.

Faced with those incredibly bouncy bumper balls, Suzuki Seimei and the others could only drift along in the pool, silently enjoying the services of the rinsume no Nai.

I'm so envious of Kogoro Mouri!

Meow--

Ai Haibara, meanwhile, was leisurely lying by the pool, enjoying a professional massage from Tamaka Kurosaki. Her toes were spread wide open in comfort, just like a cat being petted.

After playing in the pool for more than an hour, Ran Mouri and Sonoko took Seimei Suzuki and the others out of the hotel and went shopping in a nearby mall.

Karuizawa is one of the most famous summer resorts in the island nation, and its tourism industry is very developed. Various shopping malls and shops can be seen everywhere near the hotels.

"Dad, can you please be a little more discreet when you're out in public?"
