Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

That is why Suzuki Haruaki had a deep impression of the case and found it relatively easy to recall the relevant plot.

Suzuki Seimei quickly made a decision: he was going to stop Asahi Narumi from killing people, but he also didn't intend to let the drug traffickers go; he was going to deal with them personally.

Whether in his past life or this one, Suzuki Seimei despised drug traffickers; they were a group of ruthless demons who devoured people without spitting out the bones.

In his past life, a good friend of Suzuki Seimei was tricked into smoking cigarettes laced with drugs, which ultimately led to the destruction of his family and his suicide by jumping off a building.

The harm caused by drugs is enormous. The existence of a drug trafficking group can destroy at least hundreds of families and even harm more people.

In the laws of island nations, the death penalty is essentially a formality.

Even if Suzuki Harumi had the police arrest those drug traffickers, they might still escape legal punishment.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei decided to personally take action and give those drug traffickers the punishment they deserved.

Although this method of using violence to combat violence violates the law, the role of the law is to maintain social order and cannot fully represent justice.

If killing these drug traffickers could save hundreds of families, then Suzuki Seimei would rather bear the sins himself.

Although Suzuki Seimei did not have the ability to kill all the drug traffickers in the world, any drug trafficker he encountered would not be able to leave alive.

Killing is for the purpose of protecting life; cutting off karma is not the same as killing a person!

"Excuse me, beautiful lady, where does your village chief live?" Following Conan and the others' advice, Kogoro Mouri decided to find the village chief of Tsukikage Island first and walked towards a beautiful doctor in front of a nearby clinic.

Looking at the beautiful doctor in front of him, wearing a white coat, with a ponytail, and exuding a cosplay vibe, Suzuki Harumi's gaze became somewhat strange.

Because in the original story, there is only one doctor on the entire Moon Shadow Island, and that is the beautiful doctor that Asahi is disguised as. So the beautiful doctor in front of us is obviously Asahi.

The presence of the words "Check-in Available" floating above the beautiful doctor's head further confirms Suzuki Haruaki's speculation.

When Asagi saw Kogoro Mouri, a strange look flashed in his eyes. On the surface, he gave directions with a warm smile: "The village chief is in the community center not far away. Just keep walking along this road until you reach the house at the end."

While Asami was giving directions to Kogoro Mouri, Seimei Suzuki secretly nudged him.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in. You are rewarded with a copy of 'The Charmer'. You can claim it at any time."

(￣ ー￣)

Suzuki Seimei's eye twitched, forcibly suppressing the urge to retort.

However, Suzuki Seimei wasn't too surprised to learn this skill from Asano Minoru.

After all, Asami's looks would be considered top-tier in the original anime, but unfortunately, she's a cross-dresser.

"You all look a bit unfamiliar. Are you from Tokyo?" Asagi asked, feigning curiosity.

"Yes, we just came by boat."

"That's such a coincidence! I was born in Tokyo too!"

Asagi smiled and tried to get on everyone's good side, opening his arms wide and saying, "But Moonshadow Island is also great~ Not only is the scenery beautiful, but it's also very quiet..."

"Shimizu, Masato Shimizu! Please vote for Masato Shimizu..."

A van equipped with a loudspeaker slowly drove by, its noisy sound echoing throughout the street, instantly freezing the smile on Asagi's face.

The slap in the face came too quickly!

(￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮(￣▽￣///)

Asagi gave an awkward laugh: "Well... this is an exception~ because the village chief election is about to be held."

"Village chief election?"

Facing the questioning looks from Kogoro Mouri and the others, Asano Narumi explained with a smile, "There are three candidates in total: Mr. Shimizu, the current fisherman's representative; Mr. Kuroiwa, the current village chief whose evaluation has recently dropped; and Mr. Kawashima, the island's largest businessman..."

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Seimei displayed a thoughtful expression.

Two of these three people should be the leaders of the drug trafficking group. It seems I'll have to have Aizen chat with them tonight.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Ma Sheng Takes Concrete Actions

"Alright, Miss Nurse, I have absolutely no interest in the village chief election here." Kogoro Mouri interrupted Asagi Narumi, who was talking non-stop.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Makoto Asai, I'm a doctor here, and I have a full medical license!"

"Oh! So you're a doctor!"

"If you are going to the community center, you should run into the three people I just mentioned. There will be a memorial service there tonight for Mr. Kameyama, the former village chief who passed away three years ago."

"Okay, we understand. Thank you so much."

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri quickly led Seimei Suzuki and the others away.

Kogoro Mouri wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had a feeling that something was off about this doctor.

Logically speaking, Kogoro Mouri should be happy to chat with a beauty of this caliber, but he didn't feel the excitement he usually feels when he sees a beautiful woman.

And I was just asking for directions, how did it lead to so many topics? Is this doctor a chatterbox?

Watching Kogoro Mouri and the others walk away, a strange look flashed in Asami's eyes. He clenched his fist tightly: "Detective Kogoro Mouri, can you really stop me?"

……

"The current village chief's tyranny will not be tolerated!"

"We must overthrow privilege!"

"Give us back our farmland! Stop polluting our fish farms!"

A group of villagers holding signs gathered outside the community center, shouting excitedly.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but remark, "The village chief here is really unpopular. There are so many villagers protesting. No wonder they need to re-elect the village chief!"

"Dad, it's too noisy in here, let's go inside and talk."

Ran Mouri, worried that Seimei Suzuki and Conan would be frightened, took the two little ones' hands and quickly walked into the community center.

Is anyone home?

As soon as Kogoro Mouri finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a square face and black-rimmed glasses walked out of the room and asked with some confusion, "Who are you?"

Tsukikage Island is just a small island with only a few hundred residents. The residents all know each other, so the newcomers could immediately tell that Suzuki Seimei and his group were outsiders.

"Hello, my name is Kogoro Mouri, and this is my business card!"

"The Mori Detective Agency? You're a detective!"

After reading the contents of the business card, the middle-aged man's pupils suddenly contracted.

Kogoro Mouri said proudly, "That's right! I am the famous detective from Tokyo. I have something I'd like to ask your village chief. I wonder if he's available right now?"

"My name is Hirata Kazuaki, and I am the secretary of the village chief of Kuroiwa. Please wait here for a moment while I go and fetch the village chief." Hirata Kazuaki forced a smile and went to find the village chief of Kuroiwa, pretending to be calm.

Since Hirata Kazuaki was also part of the drug trafficking group, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he saw Kogoro Mouri, the famous detective who suddenly appeared.

Soon, Hirata Kazuaki led a short, stout, bald man in a black suit out of the room. This man was none other than the current village chief, Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

When Kuroiwa Tatsuji learned from Mouri Kogoro that someone had asked him to come to Tsukikage Island to investigate the incident in the name of Aso Keiji, he was extremely flustered.

However, Kuroiwa Tatsuji had been the village chief for many years, so even though he was very flustered, he didn't show any major flaws on the surface. Instead, he subtly tried to get information out of Kogoro Mouri.

When Kuroiwa Tatsuji learned that Mouri Kogoro had only recently arrived at Tsukikage Island and knew little about Aso Keiji's suicide case, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Keiji Aso has been dead for twelve years. Even if Tatsuji Kuroiwa and the others accidentally left behind some evidence, it would no longer exist after so many years.

Therefore, as long as Kuroiwa Tatsuji and his team don't give themselves away, even if Kogoro Mouri, the great detective, is incredibly skilled, he won't be able to find any evidence of their crimes.

To avoid arousing Kogoro Mouri's suspicion, Tatsuji Kuroiwa did not force them to leave. Instead, he warmly invited them to stay on Tsukikage Island for the time being.

Furthermore, Kuroiwa Tatsuji even arranged a tour guide for Suzuki Seimei and his group, who then led them on a tour of the island.

While Kuroiwa Tatsuji was talking to Mouri Kogoro, Suzuki Seimei pretended to play around with Conan and casually touched him with his hand.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Kuroiwa Tatsuji. You are rewarded with 1 stamina point, which you can claim at any time."

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help but curse "trash" inwardly.

However, in the original story, Kuroiwa Tatsuji was just a minor character, and Suzuki Seimei didn't expect to get anything good from him.

After the tour guide led Kogoro Mouri and the others away, Tatsuji Kuroiwa's smile vanished instantly. He turned to Kazuaki Hirata and instructed, "Hirata, suspend the transactions for the next few days until that troublesome detective leaves Tsukikage Island."

"Yes!"

……

Night slowly fell

The memorial service for the former village chief was about to begin, and the village's high-ranking officials, dressed in black suits and formal attire, gathered in the lobby of the community center.

Kneeling before the portrait of the former village chief, Kuroiwa Tatsuji whispered to the man beside him, "Kawashima, you hired that Kogoro Mouri, didn't you? There's no need for us to hire a detective for our competition, is there?"

"How could that be? Why would I invite such a troublesome person here? If he accidentally discovers something, I'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Hideo Kawashima, who had a mustache, glared at Tatsuji Kuroiwa with the look of someone looking at an idiot.

"The truth about what happened back then is known only to the four of us. The village chief of Guishan has been dead for three years."

Kuroiwa Tatsuji did not believe Kawashima Hideo's words, and instead pressed on, "If it wasn't you, then it was that guy Nishimoto Ken? He wouldn't dare to go against me."

"Think what you want!"

Hideo Kawashima didn't bother arguing with Tatsuji Kuroiwa. He got up and opened the door. Given their current competitive relationship, Kuroiwa wouldn't believe anything he said anyway.

"Where are you going? Did I guess right? Are you feeling guilty and trying to run away?"

I'm going to the restroom!

Kawashima Hideo left a curt remark, closed the door behind him, and headed towards the bathroom.
