Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

All eyes were focused on it.

The animal trainer first picked up a torch and lit the fire ring in the center of the stage, then turned to look at the white lion not far away.

"Smack!"

! ”

The animal trainer picked up the leather whip in his hand and cracked it in mid-air, causing the white lion lying on the ground to stand up reflexively and assume a ready-to-go posture.

"Smack!"

! ”

With a second sharp crack of the whip in the air, the white lion shot out like a cannonball.

As the audience watched with bated breath, the massive white lion moved with the agility of a kitten, effortlessly passing through the ring of blazing fire.

call--

Seeing that the white lion was unharmed, many viewers breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the next half hour, in addition to the main character 'Leon', other animals also appeared one after another, performing a variety of wonderful acrobatic acts.

Ayumi and her friends reluctantly left the circus only after the morning animal show ended.

"Today's performance was absolutely fantastic!"

"Those animals are so cute!"

"Especially when Leon the White Lion jumps through the fire ring, it's so exciting!"

Hearing the children's chatter, Professor Agasa couldn't help but laugh and said, "Because Leon is the main character of this animal show!"

"Yeah! That's why the circus shop even sells Leon's phone charms. Ai and I both bought one."

As Ayumi spoke, she took out the white lion phone charm she had just bought, her little face full of a bright smile.

"It's getting late, I think we should go have lunch now, what do you want to eat..."

Dr. Agasa was speaking when his attention was suddenly drawn to the blond man not far away. He exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Isn't that Mr. Randy Hawke?"

Following Professor Agasa's gaze, Suzuki Haruaki and the others saw a middle-aged foreign man in a red suit, with short blond hair and a beard, being surrounded by a group of reporters holding microphones.

Ayumi asked, somewhat puzzled, "Professor Agasa, who is that person?"

"He is the financier of this animal show, Mr. Randy Hawke, who is from Oklahoma in the southern United States."

Dr. Agasa said with a smile, "It is said that he made a lot of money from oil extraction, and collecting animals was also one of his hobbies."

However, to his surprise, his son Paul and daughter Annie also gradually fell in love with these animals. So, he eventually opened a circus, taking his collection of animals on tour around the world, allowing people all over the globe to share in this joy.

"Oh, I see!"

Upon hearing this, Ayumi and the others immediately looked enlightened.

"By the way, there's a picture of Mr. Randy Hawke on the last page of this manual."

Professor Agasa opened the circus manual in his hand, pointed to the photo on the last page, and said, "This is his photo. I heard that his latest hobby is to visit the local zoo when he travels the world with the circus."

Furthermore, Mr. Randy Hawke comes from a cowboy family; his family has been cowboys for generations, so he never travels with bodyguards.

"Mr. Hawke, please say something!"

"That's right! You can just say a few words, that way we'll have an explanation to give!"

Surrounded by a group of reporters, the foreign man looked helpless as he faced their cameras and microphones, saying, "You've misunderstood. I'm not Randy Hawke at all."

"Mr. Hawke, you really have a joke."

"I heard that you donated half of the proceeds from your fashion shows to zoos around the world. Is that true?"

"Mr. Hawke, it's been three years since you last visited the island nation. What are your thoughts?"

"Give me your opinion, Mr. Hawke!"

“Mr. Hawke, Mr. Hawke…”

Seeing that the reporters didn't believe him at all, the foreign man couldn't help but shout in British English, "Quiet down, all of you! I can't answer so many questions at the same time."

"Ok?"

Conan's expression changed slightly after hearing what the foreign man said, and a somewhat amused smile appeared on his face.

Based on what Dr. Agasa just said, Randy Hawke is from the American South and comes from a cowboy family, so what he said should be American English, not standard British English.

If Conan is not mistaken, the foreign man surrounded by reporters should just be an innocent passerby who looks somewhat like Randy Hawke.

Seeing the foreign man's helpless expression, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look how amazing those reporters are! They actually managed to drive a brave cowboy to such a state."

"Professor Agasa, stop gloating. I think we should go and help him out!"

Suzuki Seimei stared at the three large characters "Check-in Available" floating above the foreign man's head for a while, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he said, "I think this person is probably not Mr. Randy Hawke."

If Suzuki Seimei remembers correctly, this foreign man who looks a lot like Randy Hawke should also be an FBI investigator, and even Shuichi Akai's superior.

As soon as Suzuki Haruaki finished speaking, he walked directly towards the group of reporters and called out in a childish voice, "Uncle Jack, what are you doing here? Come on, let's go eat!"

"Uncle Jack?"

Upon hearing Suzuki Haruaki's address to the foreign man, not only were the reporters present dumbfounded, but even the foreign man himself was caught off guard.

"Uncle Jack is a friend of my grandfather. He came to the island nation to teach English."

Ai Haibara walked to Seimei Suzuki's side and pointed at Professor Agasa, saying, "Because Uncle Jack looks a lot like Randy Hawke, he is often mistaken for someone else."

"So he really isn't Mr. Hawke?"

Upon hearing this, and considering the foreign man's continued denials that he was Randy Hawke, the reporters finally believed they had mistaken him for someone else.

"Uncle Jack, let's go eat quickly!"

Ayumi and the others quickly reacted, walked over to the foreign man, and pulled him out of the crowd of reporters.

(⊙o⊙)...

Watching Suzuki Haruaki and the others leave, the reporters were stunned for a moment before they began searching for the next victim to be interviewed.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to James Black. You are rewarded with a Proficiency-level 'Guns Precision' manual, which you can claim at any time."

While Professor Agasa and the others weren't paying attention, Suzuki Seimei secretly touched the foreign man's thigh, and then the familiar system notification sounded in his ear.

After walking with Suzuki Seimei and the others for a while, James Black realized that the children were trying to help him out of a predicament, and he smiled gently.

"Little friends, thank you so much! Otherwise, I'd still be surrounded by reporters right now!"

Once they were away from the street where the reporters were, James Black said gratefully, "Although people have said I look like Mr. Hawke before, this is the first time I've encountered something like this. You guys have really helped me a lot."

Yuan Tai said, "In that case, why don't you just disguise yourself when you go out?"

Conan pursed his lips and said, "If we disguise ourselves, it might backfire if others find out."

"Uncle, do you also really like Paul and Annie's animal show?" Ayumi noticed the cell phone charm in James Black's hand and couldn't help but ask.

"That's right! Their performance was absolutely fantastic."

James Black held up the phone pendant in his hand, nodded, and said, "And I didn't want to miss this pendant, which is why I came all the way to the island nation."

Ai Haibara asked with some doubt, "But shouldn't the US have these kinds of merchandise too? There's no need to come all the way to Japan!"

"Little sister, you're mistaken. Look at the back of the strap of this white lion pendant, doesn't it say 'Japan'?"

James Black pointed to the English letters on the back of the pendant strap and said with a smile, "This means that pendants like this can only be bought here in the island nation."

(?--)

Seeing James Black's smug look, Conan and his friends were speechless, still unable to understand his behavior.

"Of course! My trip to Japan wasn't just to buy this white lion pendant; I also came to meet a friend of mine."

James Black, halfway through his sentence, turned to Professor Agasa and asked, "Did you see a handsome man with long hair while you were watching the animal show?"

"that……"

Dr. Agasa thought for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "The performance just now was so wonderful that I didn't notice what the other guests looked like."

"It's okay, I'll call him later."

James Black smiled and waved his hand, then introduced himself: "By the way, my name is James Black. I don't know how you gentlemen are addressed."

"I am Professor Agasa, and these children are Suzuki Haruaki and Edogawa Conan..."

With Professor Agasa's introduction, James Black quickly learned the names of the six boys and became acquainted with the Junior Detective League. "By the way, there's a picture of Mr. Randy Hawke on the last page of this handbook."

Professor Agasa opened the circus manual in his hand, pointed to the photo on the last page, and said, "This is his photo. I heard that his latest hobby is to visit the local zoo when he travels the world with the circus."

Furthermore, Mr. Randy Hawke comes from a cowboy family; his family has been cowboys for generations, so he never travels with bodyguards.

"Mr. Hawke, please say something!"

"That's right! You can just say a few words, that way we'll have an explanation to give!"
