Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Ms. Kameda must have had a very tough time all these years!

Not only did her son die, but the murderer also went unpunished, and she had to endure her husband's complaints every day.

Just thinking about that kind of life makes one feel suffocated.

Eri Kisaki said apologetically, "Ms. Kameda, I understand how you feel, but your husband is in a really difficult situation right now, and only you can help him."

Masako Kameda bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. Just thinking about that person gives me a terrible headache."

"The construction site where the murder occurred is near this pub. If you know what happened that night..."

"I know nothing!"

Before Eri Kisaki could finish speaking, Masako Kameda interrupted her impatiently, saying, "If you came here just to ask these kinds of questions, then I advise you to leave now!"

Seeing that Masako Kameda was so unwilling to cooperate, Eri Kisaki's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Even if their relationship wasn't good, they were still husband and wife once, so there was no need to be so cruel!

ε=(′ο｀))) Sigh...

Seeing this, Suzuki Seimei sighed inwardly.

Before Eri Kisaki arrived, Seimei Suzuki had already taken the opportunity of receiving a drink to touch Masako Kameda's finger.

From Masako Kameda, Seimei Suzuki obtained a new piece of equipment called the "Revenge Staff" and also guessed who the real culprit in this case was.

Equipment Name: Vengeance Staff

Type: Weapon

Quality: Rare

Effect 1 (Backstab Critical Strike): When attacking a target from behind, double critical strike damage is guaranteed.

Effect 2 (Size at Will): Consuming a certain amount of mental energy, you can freely change the size of the Revenge Staff, from a small needle to a five-meter-long iron pillar.

Note: Women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers!

Based on the equipment name "Revenge Stick" and the fact that the deceased was hit on the back of the head with a stick, Suzuki Seimei was almost certain that the real culprit in this case was actually Kameda Masako in front of him.

As for Shinji Usami, who was arrested by the police, he was probably just a scapegoat to take the blame for her.

If Suzuki Haruaki wasn't mistaken, Usami Shinji should have also guessed that Kameda Masako was the murderer, but he still chose to take the blame for the murder.

Perhaps at the beginning, Shinji Usami did indeed harbor resentment towards Masako Kameda because of his son's death.

However, after divorcing his wife, Shinji Usami realized that the blame for this matter could not be placed on Masako Kameda, but rather on Takeshi Hirasawa, the culprit.

However, Usami Shinji didn't dare to kill for revenge, so he chose to take the blame for his wife after learning that she had done something he wanted to do but didn't dare to.

That very night, Shinji Usami had drunk quite a bit, and perhaps he could escape legal punishment by using the charge of drunken murder.

"Crash..."

"welcome!"

Hearing the sound of the wooden door sliding, Masako Kameda instinctively called out.

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Kogoro Mouri, who had just walked in from outside, was so startled to see that Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri were both there that he almost jumped up.

This feeling is like when you were a kid and secretly went to an internet cafe, only to run into your parents who were there waiting for you to walk right into their trap.

This is so incredibly embarrassing!

Ran Mouri was somewhat surprised to see Kogoro Mouri and asked, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

"You... what are you guys doing here?" Kogoro Mori asked instinctively.

"That's strange! What are you doing here? You wouldn't happen to be..."

After recovering from her surprise, Eri thought that Kogoro Mouri had come specifically to help her. Although she put on a dissatisfied expression, she was secretly delighted.

However, before Eri Kisaki could finish speaking, Kogoro Mouri suddenly replied somewhat awkwardly, "I... I usually come here for a drink or two when I have nothing to do."

"drink wine?"

Eri was slightly taken aback at first, then glanced at the beautiful proprietress and instantly understood.

"Humph!

! ”

o(′｀)o

Feeling a faint green light spreading across her head, Eri Kisaki snorted coldly, her face full of displeasure.

Seeing Eri Kisaki angry, Kogoro Mouri became even more guilty, and even had the urge to turn around and run away.

do not forget!

Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri are only separated; they are not actually divorced yet!

Although Kogoro Mouri and Masako Kameda are innocent, one thing cannot be denied: Kogoro Mouri did frequent this bar because he thought the proprietress was beautiful.

Therefore, seeing Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri both there, Kogoro Mouri always had the illusion that he had been caught in the act of adultery.

(′Д(︶︹︺)

Seeing Kogoro Mouri sweating profusely, both Seimei Suzuki and Ai Haibara couldn't help but shake their heads.

This is so embarrassing, I feel like scratching my toes!

Sensing the strange atmosphere in the air, Masako Kameda couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Mori, are these your friends?"

"That...that..."

Upon seeing this, Ran Mouri quickly introduced herself: "Ms. Kameda, my name is Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri is my father, and this is my mother, Eri Kisaki."

???

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Masako Kameda's beautiful eyes.

According to the customs of this island nation, unless the man marries into the woman's family, the woman will take the man's surname after marriage.

If Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri were a married couple, then she should be called Eri Mouri.

However, Masako Kameda quickly recalled that she had changed her surname back after divorcing her husband, and roughly guessed the relationship between Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki.

No wonder the atmosphere suddenly became so awkward.

"Cough cough!"

Kogoro Mouri coughed twice and asked Ran Mouri, "Ran, it's so late, what are you doing here?"

"We're here to help Mom..."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri quickly recounted the entire story of Shinji Usami to Kogoro Mouri.

"May 3rd?!"

Kogoro Mouri had only intended to casually change the subject, but after listening to Ran Mouri's account, he revealed a somewhat serious expression.

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, is something on your mind?"

"Actually, I was drinking here that night, hehe..." Kogoro Mouri glanced at Eri Kisaki, scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and said.

(?w?)

Upon hearing this, Eri's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly took out a photo from her handbag and handed it to him: "Did you see this person that night?"

"I did see this person; he stayed here for about half an hour."

Kogoro Mouri stared at the photo for a while, then nodded affirmatively and said, "Later, when I left the bar, I heard sirens blaring outside, and someone said that a male corpse had been found at a nearby construction site."

"Do you remember what time he came to the store?"

When asked by Eri Kisaki, Kogoro Mouri replied without hesitation, "9:25!"

"How can you be so sure it was 9:25?" Eri Kisaki asked, her expression turning somewhat puzzled.

When answering this kind of question, a normal person would usually say it was around 9:30, not exactly a few minutes.

Kogoro Mouri said, "Because someone called me at that time, and I saw the time displayed on my phone!"

Are you really sure it was 9:25?

"Of course! I'm a famous detective, and I'm very confident in my memory."

"that would be great."

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri was so certain about the time, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but smile happily.

Ran Mouri asked curiously, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"The estimated time of Mr. Hirasawa's murder is between 9:30 and 10:00."

Eri Kisaki explained with a smile, "If Mr. Usami really did arrive at the bar at 9:25, then it means he didn't have time to commit the crime at all."

"So, does that mean Mr. Usami can be released without charge?" Ran Mouri couldn't help but smile happily upon hearing this.

Anyone with a conscience, upon learning of what happened to Shinji Usami, would instinctively feel sympathy for him and naturally would not want him to go to jail for this case.

Eri nodded slightly and said, "That's right! This case can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel."

"So, Dad really did Mom a big favor this time!"

Ran Mouri stopped mid-sentence, glancing back and forth between Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri, and pressed on, saying, "In that case, Mom, you'd better treat Dad and us to a big meal after this case is over!"

?(?w?)?

Upon hearing this, Eri glanced at Kogoro Mouri subconsciously, her pretty face slightly flushed, and said, "Alright, you'll get your share of that meal."

Kogoro Mouri straightened his collar with a smug look on his face, thinking that his love of drinking had been a great help.

Finally, I don't feel embarrassed anymore!

Looking at the smiling faces of the crowd, and then at Conan who was deep in thought while stroking his chin, Suzuki Haruaki thought to himself, "Sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing."

If Suzuki Seimei is not mistaken, the reason why Kogoro Mouri was able to become a witness must be because Masako Kameda secretly adjusted the time on his phone while he was drunk.
