Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"You can't blame yourself for this. After all, eighteen years have passed. Apart from the relevant police officers, it's probably hard for others to remember this incident."

After paying her respects to her father, Officer Sato turned to the crowd and said, "Besides, we don't work as police officers to have others remember our achievements; we just do our job to uphold justice."

"Officer Sato, didn't that truck driver see the criminal's face clearly?" Suzuki Haruaki suddenly asked.

Officer Sato shook his head and said, "Because it was raining heavily at the time, and the criminal was wearing a raincoat, the truck driver couldn't even tell if he was male or female, let alone see his face."

Mitsuhiko couldn't help but ask, "But doesn't the police already know that the person's name is Shushiro?"

"The police also investigated people named Chou Silang afterward, but after screening, none of them met the criteria for robbers."

Upon hearing this, Officer Shiratori couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder that case became a cold case. The surveillance footage from the security camera, which lasted less than ten seconds, along with the three clues of the raincoat and the 'Sorrowful Man,' was really too weak."

"No! There's actually a fourth clue!"

"A fourth clue?"

“That’s right. In my father’s police manual, there are three suspicious characters written in katakana—kano.”

"kano?"

"As far as I know, the police did not want this lead to be leaked, so they deliberately blocked the news from the outside world."

Officer Sato explained, "Based on the clues the police investigated at the time, they suspected that these three words were the key to solving the case. So after the incident, the police even asked my mother if she had heard my father use similar words."

"What then?"

ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh...

Officer Sato sighed and said, "My mother and I have never heard of such a word before, let alone understand its meaning."

I remember when I was a child, I would often stare at these three characters, so they left a very deep impression on me.

I often think to myself, who can help me solve this riddle and capture the lovesick man? Whatever his request, I will grant it.

"No matter what the requirements are?!"

Upon hearing this, Officer Takagi and Officer Shiratori's expressions immediately turned serious.

The two straight men even had an image in their minds of Officer Sato wearing a wedding dress.

Genta swallowed hard and said, "If I guess right, can you treat me to eel rice?"

"Of course you can."

"If it were me, I would want to go to the tropical castle."

As soon as Ayumi finished speaking, Mitsuhiko followed up with, "If it were me, all I would need is a ticket to the International Space Station."

Ayumi asked curiously, "Ai, what do you want?"

"If it were me, all I'd need is the latest Prada handbag," Ai Haibara said casually.

What are Prada's latest leather bags?

Write this down, write this down, this is important.

Suzuki Seimei secretly made a mental note of this, thinking that if he wanted to give Ai Haibara a gift in the future, he could simply give her a bag from this brand.

Conan thought for a moment and said, "If you ask me, I want a ticket to this World Cup."

"Seimei, is there anything you want?" Ai Haibara couldn't help but ask when she saw that Suzuki Seimei didn't speak.

"I guess I'll pass."

Haruaki Suzuki shrugged and said, "I've already bought a motorhome. Next, I plan to save up some money to buy a yacht and a private jet. I don't think Officer Sato can afford what I want."

((′-_-)-_-)-_-)

Officer Sato and the others were speechless upon hearing this.

This big shot is not to be trifled with!

Chapter 264 The Murderer Who Came to the Door (First Update, Please Vote)

"what?"

Suzuki Seimei suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked at the four figures not far away.

The four people were walking towards Suzuki Haruaki and his group. There were three men and one woman, and they all looked to be in their forties or fifties.

The short man at the head of the group was holding a bouquet of flowers, and the words "Check-in Available" were floating above his head.

"Auntie Diezi, it's been a long time! I didn't expect to see you here," Officer Sato greeted the four with a smile.

"Eh? Aren't you Miwako?"

"It's been such a long time! You've grown so much!"

Seeing this, Officer Takagi asked with some curiosity, "Officer Sato, do you know them?"

"Yes! They are all my father's friends from his high school baseball team."

Officer Sato nodded slightly and pointed to the four bald men wearing glasses, introducing them as follows: "This is Mr. Hideaki Saruwatari, the ace pitcher who partnered with my father back then."

Hello.

"This is Mr. Shuji Kano. He is known in the baseball team for his strong arms and fast legs."

"This is the most reliable main player in the baseball team, Mr. Pig Wu Manxiong."

"And this beautiful team manager, Miss Divine Bird Butterfly!"

Upon hearing this, the divine bird Diezi couldn't help but laugh and said, "What 'Miss'? You're almost fifty years old already."

The zoo?

Upon hearing that each of the four people's names contained an animal, Suzuki Seimei silently remarked to himself.

According to the laws of science, whenever such strange combinations of names appear, some kind of case tends to occur.

If Suzuki Harumi remembers correctly, the robber who killed Sato Miwako's father was probably a friend from his high school baseball team.

Furthermore, with the words "Check-in Available" floating above Kano Shuji's head, Suzuki Seimei was almost certain that he was the culprit in the "Shusou-ro" case.

After introducing the four of them to Suzuki Haruaki, Officer Sato asked with some surprise, "By the way, how did you all end up together?"

“It’s been a long time since we’ve all seen each other, so we wanted to get together. It just so happens that today is the anniversary of your father’s death, so we came to say hello to him first.”

Without another word, Lu Ye Xiu placed the flowers in his hand next to the chrysanthemums.

Where no one could see, a hint of guilt flashed across Shuji Kano's face.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in as Lu Ye Xiu Er. You are rewarded with a [Escapee Bracelet], which you can claim at any time."

Taking advantage of the moment when Kano Shuji walked past him, Suzuki Seimei secretly touched his thigh.

Equipment Name: Escaper's Bracelet

Type: Jewelry

Quality: Rare

Effect 1 (Foot oil): The wearer's speed increases by 10%.

Effect 2 (Escape Flash): Each time it consumes ten points of mental energy, it allows the wearer to teleport a straight-line distance of ten meters.

Note: Running away is not a crime, time travel is justified!

After reviewing the equipment attributes of the [Escapee Bracelet], Suzuki Seimei nodded in satisfaction.

"Miwako, we'll be going now~"

Bye-bye~

After paying their respects to Officer Sato's father, Kano Shuji and his group of four left.

Watching Kano Shuji and the others walk away, Suzuki Seimei wore a thoughtful expression.

Although Suzuki Seimei could use his "Word of Power" to control Kano Shuji and make him confess to the crimes he committed back then, that would seem too strange.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei secretly contacted Tachibana Maya telepathically, asking her to send members of the Net organization to Kano Shuji's house to secretly search for relevant clues and evidence.

Humans are strange creatures; the more unfavorable the evidence is to them, the more they feel they need to keep it close at hand for greater security.

For example, many crime bosses like to keep all sorts of incriminating evidence in safes in their homes or offices.

If the members of the Luo Wang organization can find some decisive evidence at Shuji Kano's house, that would be for the best.

If they fail to find any evidence of wrongdoing, then Suzuki Seimei wouldn't mind using some means to make Kano Shuji atone with his death.

Suzuki Seimei's personality is somewhat lawless, so he doesn't rely on the law to define right and wrong like Conan does.

For criminals he found agreeable, such as Kaito Kid, Suzuki Seimei not only wouldn't target them, but would even occasionally lend them a hand.

When dealing with criminals he disliked, Suzuki Seimei showed no mercy and was willing to send them on their way early.

Because Sato Masayoshi and Kano Shuji are good friends, he is very familiar with some of Kano Shuji's habits.

From the less than ten-second surveillance video, Sato Masayoshi confirmed that Kano Shuji was the robber based on the robber's actions.

After arresting Kano Shuji, Sato Masayoshi originally intended to persuade his good friend to turn himself in in order to mitigate his crime.

However, out of fear of going to jail, Shuji Kano actually planned to run into the street and commit suicide.

In an attempt to save Shuji Kano, Sato Masayoshi instinctively lunged forward, pushing him aside, but was himself hit by a truck and seriously injured.

After Sato Masayoshi collapsed with serious injuries, Kano Shuji not only failed to try to help him, but also took the opportunity to escape.

The seriously injured Sato Masayoshi kept shouting "Go and turn yourself in!" but passersby misheard it as "Sorrowful Man".

Actually, before Sato Masayoshi was killed, he could have told the police the criminal's real name.

However, Sato Masayoshi always believed that Kano Shuji would turn himself in and did not want him to miss this opportunity to mitigate his crime, so he ultimately did not reveal the criminal's name.

Others may not know the meaning of "Shusou-ro" (愁思郎), but Shuji Kano, as the person involved, knows the true meaning of this phrase very well.

However, Kano Shuji ultimately chose to run away, betraying Sato Masayoshi, who believed in him even on his deathbed.

Regardless of whether Shuji Kano killed that security guard by mistake or not.

Judging solely from the fact that Kano Shuji had never considered turning himself in over the past eighteen years, Suzuki Seimei could be certain that he was a heartless and ruthless person.
