Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Seimei and the others' eyes widened in disbelief, their faces filled with speechlessness.

Anyone with eyes can see that the three women in the photo are just wearing makeup to darken their skin; they have absolutely no relation to being mixed race.

Can you be a little more reliable, you famous detective?

Inspector Megure suddenly regretted asking Kogoro Mouri for help. Back when this guy was a detective, he often led his colleagues astray during investigations, causing them to get stuck in dead ends.

Inspector Megure even suspects that the reason Kogoro Mouri was able to resign smoothly back then was because his former boss thought his case-solving abilities were too poor.

Otherwise, with Kogoro Mouri's top marksmanship at the police academy, he could at least become the top detective in the criminal investigation team. There's no reason for his old superior to let him go so easily!

Just as the atmosphere was becoming a little awkward, Sonoko, who happened to arrive, suddenly snatched the photo from Kogoro Mouri's hand and said with a smile, "Wow~ so cute, all three of them are painted so dark~"

"that is true!"

Ran Mouri leaned closer to Sonoko, glanced at her, and shook her head with a smile, saying, "It looks quite cute, but I wouldn't dare wear this kind of makeup."

Ai Haibara didn't join in the fun, but quietly walked to the seat next to Seimei Suzuki and sat down.

???

Kogoro Mouri's face was full of confusion.

Seeing this, Officer Sato, who was sitting to the side, explained with some helplessness: "Mr. Mori, these three ladies are not of mixed race. They are all native Japanese."

Their skin appears dark because of a new makeup technique that's recently become popular among girls; they're also known as the "101 Hot Girls."

"101 Hot Girls?"

To be honest, Kogoro Mouri really didn't know about this, because Ran Mouri had absolutely no interest in this popular makeup technique, so of course her father didn't know either.

Officer Takagi said with a headache, "If the criminal's targets are all these 101 hot girls, then his attack range is probably too wide."

"Yes! This has never happened before. We don't even have a case to refer to for this type of case. We are completely baffled."

“You’re mistaken. I remember a very similar case happened before.”

Hearing Officer Sato's words, Kogoro Mouri shook his head and said, "I remember it was a high school girl who was hit by a car multiple times and the driver fled the scene. It's disgusting just thinking about it..."

(╬◣д◢)

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

The case that Kogoro Mouri mentioned was one that Inspector Megure personally investigated.

Although the case was successfully solved, Inspector Megure's beloved wife was seriously injured in the incident.

Even Inspector Megure has an ugly scar on his head, and he wears a hat every day to cover it up.

Therefore, Inspector Megure would become extremely angry every time he heard someone mention that case.

Of course!

Inspector Megure's anger was not directed at Kogoro Mouri, but at the perpetrator of that case from years ago.

"what?"

Suzuki Seimei suddenly noticed that Ai Haibara was wearing new jewelry and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ai, where did you buy your necklace and bracelet?"

"These weren't bought; they were given away as a gift during a mall promotion."

Ai Haibara shook the bracelet on her wrist and said, "As long as you spend more than 100,000 yen at the mall, you can take the receipt to the exit and exchange it for 10,000 yen worth of goods as a gift."

"Wait a moment!"

Conan glanced at Ai Haibara's necklace and bracelet, then his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Haibara, isn't your necklace and bracelet the same as the three older sisters in the photo we just saw?!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure and his team quickly picked up the photos and compared them. Sure enough, they found that the jewelry worn by Ai Haibara was the same as that worn by the three victims.

In fact, Inspector Megure and his team had already noticed that the three victims were wearing the same style of jewelry.

However, Inspector Megure and his team assumed that the jewelry was part of the 101 girls' outfits and did not suspect that there was anything wrong with it.

However, judging from what Ai Haibara just said, these pieces of jewelry were not purchased by her, but were free gifts from the store, which means they have a completely different meaning.

In other words, the three victims who were attacked by the assailant had another thing in common besides their exaggerated makeup: they had all been to the same shopping mall.

A sharp glint flashed in Inspector Megure's eyes as he turned to Ran Mouri and asked, "Ran, which mall did you go to just now?"

"It's the Beika Department Store nearby!"

"Ding ding ding..."

Just as Ran Mouri finished speaking, Inspector Megure's phone suddenly rang. After he picked up the phone and answered it, his expression became even more grim.

Upon seeing this, Officers Sato and Takagi hurriedly asked, "Inspector Megure, what happened?"

"Someone just called the police and said a woman's body was found in the parking lot of Beika Department Store!"

"A female corpse? Could it be..."

Inspector Megure said with a serious expression, "That's right, the female corpse also had the makeup of a 101 gal."

"hateful!!!"

Officer Takagi and his colleagues couldn't help but curse under their breath upon hearing this.

They had just found an important clue, but then this terrible incident happened.

The assailant had previously attacked three victims with a metal bar, which, although heinous, could only be classified as an assault.

Now that the first victim has appeared, the significance of this case has changed completely.

What worries Inspector Megure and his team most is that the perpetrators are likely to become increasingly ignoring of the law after killing the first person.

If the perpetrators are not apprehended in time, there may soon be a second, or even a third, victim.

"Mouri, Takagi, let's go to the crime scene!"

Inspector Megure quickly composed himself and led everyone to the underground parking lot of Beika Department Store.

"The victim's name is Tae Aizawa. She is 20 years old and used to be a clerk at this department store, but she was fired a year ago and has not found a job yet."

Upon seeing Inspector Megure and his team arrive, Chiba, the police officer in charge of maintaining order at the scene, quickly began to explain the victim's situation to them.

"More benefits, more benefits, more benefits..."

A short-haired man in a blue suit suddenly rushed over, trying to approach the body, but was stopped by police officers maintaining order.

Chapter 275 Revenge from the Father (Third Update, Please Vote)

Seeing this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but frown and ask, "Who is he?"

"Inspector Megure, he is the deceased's boyfriend, named Noriyuki Shirakawa. His father is also the owner of this department store."

The Chiba police officer said with a serious expression, "It is said that this person's father was always against his relationship with the deceased, and they even had several arguments about it."

"I see."

Inspector Megure nodded imperceptibly, silently noting down the information, before asking, "By the way, where are the security personnel for this parking lot?"

"The security guard who patrols the underground parking lot is Mr. Yoshio Tadakin over there. I'll go and call him over now."

After Officer Chiba brought the square-faced middle-aged security guard to him, Inspector Megure went straight to the point: "Sir, did you see any suspicious persons while you were on patrol just now?"

When questioned by Inspector Megure, Yoshio Sadakin thought for a moment and said, "I didn't see anyone suspicious, but I went to the restroom just now, and I think the murderer must have committed the crime during that time."

"I think you're the one who committed this crime!"

Just as Yoshio Tadasu finished speaking, a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly rang out, followed by a bearded man wearing glasses appearing in front of Inspector Megure.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure asked with some confusion, "Sir, who are you?"

"My name is Shirakawa Haruyoshi, and I am the owner of this department store."

"So you're the owner of this department store. Then, Mr. Shirakawa, why do you think Mr. Dingjin is the murderer?"

Shirakawa Haruyoshi narrowed his eyes and said, "As far as I know, this Yoshio Tatekin was working as a doorman at our competitor's department store half a year ago, so I suspect that he deliberately came here to work as a security guard in order to take the opportunity to damage our company's reputation."

"I...I didn't."

Upon hearing this, Ding Jin Fangxiong's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shook his head in denial.

In reality, Shirakawa Haruyoshi didn't really suspect that Sadakin Yoshio was the murderer. He just wanted to minimize the impact of the murder case and, ideally, pin the blame on his rival.

However, what Shirakawa Haruyoshi didn't know was that he actually stumbled upon the murderer by accident.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to the deposit for Fang Xiong. You are rewarded with 1 stamina point, which you can claim at any time."

While Inspector Megure and the others were discussing the case, Suzuki Haruaki quietly walked up to Yoshio Sadakin and secretly touched his thigh.

The three suspects present were Noriyuki Shirakawa, Yoshio Sadakin, and Haruyoshi Shirakawa.

Of the three suspects, only Yoshio Tadasu met the sign-in requirements, so Seimei Suzuki was certain that he was the murderer.

"Maya, help me investigate someone's information. His name is Yoshio Sadakin, and he's currently a security guard at Beika Department Store."

With a thought, Suzuki Seimei contacted Tachibana Maya and asked her to use the information network of the Luo Wang organization to investigate the relevant information of Dekini Yoshio.

With Maya Tachibana's command, the intelligence network of the Luo Wang organization instantly sprang into action, and information about Yoshio Teijin was quickly delivered to her.

According to the information collected by the Luo Wang organization, Ding Jin Fangxiong was just an ordinary office worker.

The only noteworthy thing is that more than a year ago, Teijin Yoshio's son died in a car accident.

Furthermore, the place where his son died in the car accident was the underground parking lot of Beika Department Store.

The victim in this case, Tae Aizawa, happened to be the one who caused the car accident, so it goes without saying who the murderer is.

It is said that when Aida Tae was driving that day, she was wearing a pair of very thick platform shoes, which reduced the sensitivity of her brakes and prevented her from braking in time, resulting in the boy being hit in a vital area and dying.

Afterwards, Jin Fangxiong and his wife appealed to the court on this point, but the judge did not accept their appeal and instead classified the case as a traffic accident, thus ending the case.

A classic revenge case!

The method of murder in this case was actually very simple. By combining it with the traffic accident that occurred at the time, it would be easy to identify the murderer.

"what?"
