Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Ran Mouri stared at the corpse for a while, then couldn't help but frown slightly: "Sonoko, don't you feel like there's something strange about this corpse?"

Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit strange.

Sonoko nodded in agreement, but couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

"I think it's because she wasn't wearing platform shoes!"

Suzuki Haruaki spoke up to remind her, "Shouldn't the outfits of the 101 girls, besides the exaggerated black makeup, also include a pair of platform shoes? But the deceased's shoes were a pair of pink high heels."

"That's right! That's it. No wonder I always felt something was off."

Sonoko asked with a puzzled look, "But since she's already dressed like this, why doesn't she wear a pair of platform shoes with it?"

"I think it's not that the deceased wasn't wearing platform shoes, but rather that someone switched them afterward."

Suzuki Seimei stroked his chin, instantly channeling Sherlock Holmes, and solemnly analyzed, "I think the reason the murderer switched the victim's shoes was because he didn't want others to know that he killed the victim because the victim was wearing platform shoes."

"Killed because of platform shoes?"

Upon hearing Suzuki Haruaki's words, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Shirakawa Noriyuki, and he exclaimed excitedly, "It must be that couple! The murderers must be that couple!"

Seeing this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Shirakawa, is something on your mind?"

"About a year ago, when Tae was driving in this parking lot, she accidentally hit and killed a little boy who was playing with a ball."

Noriyuki Shirakawa said with a grim expression, "Although the court ruled it was a traffic accident, the couple is still making a fuss about it."

They believe it was all Tae-hye's fault for wearing thick-soled shoes while driving, which prevented her from braking in time and caused their child's death.

If the murderer really did kill because of the platform shoes, then the murderer is definitely connected to that couple.

"I see!"

Inspector Megure looked enlightened and turned to Miwako Sato, instructing her, "Inspector Sato, go find the traffic division and thoroughly investigate the case files of that traffic accident from back then, especially focusing on the information of that couple."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Yoshio Tadasu, who was standing not far away, suddenly changed his expression. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "No need for trouble, I'll turn myself in!"

"What did you say?!"

Facing the surprised looks of the crowd, Yoshio Tadakin calmly said, "I killed this woman. I became a security guard at this department store to avenge my dead son."

Now that the police had already suspected the traffic accident, Teijin Fangxiong knew that he definitely couldn't escape.

Rather than waiting for the police to arrest him, he might as well turn himself in and take the opportunity to reduce his sentence.

Since Yoshio Tadakin had already killed Tae Aizawa and avenged his dead son, it didn't matter whether he went to jail or not.

When they saw Yoshio Tadasu suddenly turn himself in, Inspector Megure and his team were somewhat surprised, but they quickly understood his true intentions.

After a brief moment of surprise, Inspector Megure and his team quickly recovered and began questioning Yoshio Satagane about the details of his crime.

According to Yoshio Sadakin's account, he has suffered from insomnia ever since his son was hit and killed by Tae Aizawa's car, and he wakes up from nightmares almost every day.

Nearly six months after his son's death, Yoshio Teijin's resentment not only did not dissipate, but instead deepened, eventually leading him to contemplate killing to avenge his son.

Because Yoshio Tsunekami did not know Tae Aizawa's home address, he applied for a job as a security guard at Beika Department Store, intending to wait for Tae Aizawa to come to him.

However, what Yoshio Tsunematsu didn't expect was that Tae Aizawa wouldn't come to Beika Department Store for half a year.

Yoshio, who had not received a deposit from Aizawa Tae, saw those 101 hot girls driving around in platform shoes and couldn't help but feel angry, which led to the three previous beatings.

After learning the whole story, everyone sighed with regret.

While Inspector Megure and his colleagues could understand Yoshio Sadakin's desire to avenge his son, a crime is a crime.

Since Yoshio Tadasu has chosen to take revenge himself, he should prepare in advance and bear the consequences of violating the law.

Several days later

Suzuki Estate

The sky was clear and the weather was fine.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Roar!"

Ai Haibara, dressed in a red and black dress, is running and playing on a wide lawn with three German Shepherd pups and Black Whirlwind.

Meanwhile, Seimei Suzuki sat on the lawn not far away, leisurely flipping through the latest letters from his fans.

Besides the two letters sent by Izumi Sagiri and the Evil Eye, another letter caught Suzuki Seimei's attention.

It was a letter from a fan named "Dark Flame Master," and the content of it was full of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur).

Judging from his self-designation as "Elf King," Suzuki Seimei believed that he must know "The Evil King's True Eye."

Considering the rather interesting content of the letter from the "Black Flame Master," Suzuki Seimei decided to write back to him.

However, this time, instead of including the limited edition Pokémon Trainer Badge in his reply, Suzuki Seimei included a limited edition Legendary Pokémon card.

Since Suzuki Seimei felt that "Black Flame Master" and "Evil King's True Eye" should know each other, it would be pointless to give two identical gifts. It would be more fun to give two different gifts.

After writing a chuunibyou-filled reply to "Black Flame Master" and "Evil King's True Eye" respectively, Suzuki Seimei began to seriously consider his reply to Izumi Sagiri.

Although Izumi Sagiri's letter mentioned a friend who was troubled by being discovered by her brother while illustrating a book, Suzuki Seimei immediately saw through her fabrication.

After Suzuki Seimei added Izumi Sagiri as a friend on the social media account she left in her letter, he learned that she was Eromanga Sensei and also took a look at her beautiful illustrations from the past.

To prevent a rising doujinshi artist from falling from grace, Suzuki Seimei wrote a very serious letter back to Izumi Sagiri.

The gist of the argument is that illustrations in comics are also a form of art, and artists shouldn't worry too much about other people's feelings, otherwise it will only limit their creative inspiration.

If you don't feel awkward, then it's others who feel awkward!

Therefore, there's no need to worry about the fact that her brother... no, I mean her friend's brother discovered her secret while she was drawing illustrations for a book.

After writing his reply to Izumi Sagiri, Suzuki Seimei suddenly felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

If we include his past life, Suzuki Seimei could be considered a senior painter. His letter today, in which he offered guidance to Izumi Sagiri, has a distinctly elder-instructor feel to it.

This is the legacy passed down among painters!

Sunday, sunny

Mouri Detective Agency

"Is this the little black bear you found in the mountains before?"

Ran Mouri patted Black Whirlwind's little head and couldn't help but laugh, "It's so cute!"

"Ok!"

Ai Haibara nodded slightly and said, "Its name is Black Whirlwind."

Because Ran Mouri didn't go on the last outing with Seimei Suzuki and the others, she learned about Black Whirlwind from Sonoko.

I heard that Ai Haibara has a pet black bear, and Ran Mouri has always been very curious about that little guy.

So when Suzuki Seimei and the others came to play today, they brought Black Whirlwind along with them.

Even for those cute plush bear toys, Ran Mouri has little resistance, let alone a living, adorable little bear like Black Whirlwind.

The moment Ran Mouri saw Black Whirlwind, she was captivated by this adorable little guy.

┐(?~?)┌

Who can blame me for making it so cute?

Hehe~

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but remark, "Don't be fooled by how cute it looks now. In two years, it'll be looking at you guys as cute."

(?--)

Hearing Kogoro Mouri's sharp retort, Seimei Suzuki and the others were speechless for a moment.

You see, what you're saying actually makes a lot of sense!

"Ding ding ding..."

Suddenly, the phone rang urgently. Kogoro Mouri, no longer able to continue his rants about Ran Mouri and the others, picked up the receiver and answered it.

"Oh! Okay... I'm free now... then it's settled."

After hanging up the phone, Kogoro Mouri turned to Ran Mouri and said, "Ran, stop playing with the bear and quickly make two cups of coffee. We have guests coming soon."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri reluctantly put down Black Whirlwind and got up to make coffee.

"Ding dong..."

"coming!"

Upon hearing the doorbell ring, Conan quickly walked to the door and opened it with his short legs.

When Suzuki Seimei and the others saw the newcomer's appearance, they couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.

The newcomer was dressed in a purple dress with a black coat over it. She had delicate features, a tall figure, and was a very elegant lady.

Wow~~ What a beauty!

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately sat up straight and tidied his somewhat messy hair.

The noblewoman in purple bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Mori, I am Shizuka Ikemami, who just called. I apologize for my sudden and presumptuous visit."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. It's my honor to help a beautiful lady like you! Please, have a seat."

Under the speechless gazes of Suzuki Seimei and the others, Mouri Kogoro instantly transformed into a sycophant, serving Ikenami Shizuka with utmost attentiveness.
