Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Suzuki Haruaki thought to himself, "As expected of the main character, even the equipment he gets from signing in is closely related to luck."

Luck is something that can't be seen or touched, but it can be a lifesaver in critical moments, so Suzuki Seimei naturally hoped that he would have as much luck as possible.

"Cough cough cough..."

After easily subduing Mao Shiba, Hai Dafu turned to the burly men who were getting up from the ground and asked, "Where are you guys from?"

"In reply to your question, sir, we are all from Prince Zheng's residence."

Upon hearing this, the burly man at the head of the group quickly cupped his hands and replied, "If it weren't for your intervention today, sir, capturing this traitor, we would have lost face terribly."

"Alright! I just happened to run into this... cough cough cough..."

Hai Dafu waved his hand and said, "Don't disturb anyone else. Just send this man and that child to the Imperial Kitchen and say that Eunuch Hai wants them."

"Yes!"

The wrestlers, though puzzled, dared not ask any further questions.

"Aren't you going to call a sedan chair? Look at me, can I even walk? Cough cough..."

Upon hearing Hai Dafu's words, the little eunuch beside him hurriedly rushed out of the hotel to prepare a sedan chair for him.

"Cough cough cough..."

After the eunuch had prepared the sedan chair, Hai Dafu managed a gentle smile and said to Suzuki Seimei, "Little one, Grandpa's leaving now. Don't wander around outside by yourself. Go home early, okay?"

Judging from the fabric of Suzuki Seimei's clothes and his fair and delicate skin, Hai Dafu clearly mistook him for a young master from a wealthy family.

After all, ordinary families can't afford such expensive clothes, and they can't raise such fair-skinned children.

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Seimei nodded obediently and waved to Hai Dafu, saying, "Goodbye, Grandpa~"

"goodbye!"

Hai Dafu smiled and nodded, then slowly left the tavern with the help of the young eunuch.

When Suzuki Seimei saw Mao Shiba and Wei Xiaobao being bound hand and foot with ropes by those burly men, he made no attempt to stop them.

Anyway, Wei Xiaobao and his companions escaped unscathed this time, and Suzuki Seimei wasn't familiar with them, so there was no need for him to go through the trouble of rescuing them.

After watching helplessly as those burly men carried Wei Xiaobao and his companions away, Suzuki Seimei finally called over the bartender and ordered several of the restaurant's signature dishes to appease his rumbling stomach.

To be honest, the food of this era is definitely not as good as modern food, but the food of this era is all-natural, and it tastes quite unique.

While enjoying the delicacies of this era, Suzuki Seimei began to study the three years' worth of [Pure Internal Energy] he had just obtained from Hai Dafu.

These internal energies felt to Suzuki Seimei somewhat similar to the financial resources consumed when using [money power].

However, compared to financial resources, the disadvantage of internal energy is that it is more limited, as it can only be used to enhance Suzuki Seimei's physical strength and the power of his offensive skills.

For example, when Suzuki Seimei was practicing Karate, he could channel his inner energy into his fists, making his punches more powerful.

The financial resources consumed by the [Money Power] can not only be used to strengthen Suzuki Seimei's physical strength and attack power, but also to improve the attributes of other items, such as making food more delicious.

Of course!

Aside from its limitations, internal strength also has its merits.

Internal energy can not only subtly nourish and strengthen Suzuki Seimei's body, but it can also be restored through cultivation after it is consumed, unlike financial resources which are disposable.

"Cuckoo..."

On the other side, Fang Yi accompanied Mu Jianping to search for more than half an hour, but they still couldn't find her lost purse. Instead, her stomach started to protest first.

?(?w?)?

Mu Jianping's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said somewhat shyly, "Senior Sister, I'm hungry~"

In order to make room in the stomach and eat more of the local delicacies of the capital, Mu Jianping didn't eat much breakfast that morning, so she got hungry quickly.

"You~"

Seeing Mu Jianping's pitiful appearance, Fang Yi shook her head helplessly and said, "I really can't do anything with you. Fine, I'll treat you today."

"I knew my senior sister was the best!"

Mu Jianping immediately smiled happily and pulled Fang Yi towards the hotel not far away.

"Waiter, the bill!"

After Suzuki Seimei finished eating and drinking, he took out the purse he had found earlier and placed a piece of silver on the table.

"Senior sister, that... seems to be my purse."

As soon as Mu Jianping entered the tavern, her gaze was drawn to the purse in Suzuki Seimei's hand, and she tugged at Fang Yi's delicate hand.

Hearing Mu Jianping's words, Fang Yi raised her eyebrows and said, "No wonder we've been looking for so long and haven't found it. It turns out this kid took it."

"what?!"

After paying the bill, Suzuki Seimei was about to get up and leave when he saw Mu Jianping and Fang Yi standing at the door. His gaze involuntarily fell on the three large characters "Check-in Available" floating above their heads.

Before Suzuki Seimei could figure out how to approach Mu Jianping and the others, Fang Yi strode over aggressively, reaching out her hand and shouting, "Kid, hand over my junior sister's purse right now!"

"Pouch?"

Suzuki Seimei was slightly taken aback at first, then a look of realization flashed in his eyes. He took out the purse he had picked up earlier and asked in a somewhat amused tone, "Is this the purse you're talking about?"

"That's right! Give me the purse now!"

Seeing this, Fang Yi reached out her right hand without thinking, ready to snatch the purse from Suzuki Seimei's hand.

"Wait a moment!"

Suzuki Seimei abruptly pulled his small hand away, avoiding Fang Yi's grasp, and weighed the purse in his hand, saying, "Words are no proof! This purse is a very common style. You can't just say my purse is yours just because you've said a few words, can you?"

"You brat, I'm seeing what you've got..."

Seeing Fang Yi about to draw her sword in anger, Mu Jianping hurriedly advised, "Senior sister, don't be angry. What this little brother said makes sense. What if his purse really is the same style as mine?"

"Junior sister, you're too naive!"

Fang Yi said speechlessly, "How could a boy use a pink purse?"

"Who says boys can't use pink purses? This purse is a loving gift from my mom!"

Upon hearing Fang Yi's words, Suzuki Seimei smiled mischievously and said, "How about we make a bet? If this purse really is yours, then I'll return it to you."

If this purse doesn't belong to you, then you not only need to apologize to me, but you also need to promise to do something for me that you can.

"Let's bet! Who's afraid of who?"

Fang Yi, of course, was not afraid of a brat like Suzuki Harumi, and agreed without thinking. Then, she frowned and said, "But how do you want us to prove it? What if you refuse to admit that this purse is ours?"

"Want to prove this purse isn't yours? It's actually very simple."

Suzuki Haruaki weighed the purse in his hand and said, "If you can accurately state how much money is in this purse, then you can prove whether this purse is yours or not."

"Junior sister."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yi turned to look at Mu Jianping.

Mu Jianping thought for a moment and said, "In my purse, there are a total of six five-tael silver ingots, three taels of loose silver, and four gold leaves."

Upon hearing Mu Jianping's words, Suzuki Seimei's expression changed slightly. He knew that the purse must have been dropped by Mu Jianping.

However, in order to carry out his next plan, Suzuki Seimei did not intend to return the purse to Mu Jianping.

"wrong!"

Suzuki Seimei shook his head and said, "You're wrong. This purse doesn't belong to you. If you don't believe me, look for yourselves."

"Ding ding ding..."

As soon as Suzuki Harumi finished speaking, he opened the purse in his hand and poured all the contents onto the table.

Besides the silver note that Hai Dafu gave to Suzuki Seimei, there were also four gold ingots and some loose silver, which were completely different from what Mu Jianping had said.

oっ!

Looking at the four heavy gold ingots, Fang Yi was filled with surprise. She never expected that Suzuki Seimei was so rich.

Those four gold ingots alone are worth several hundred taels of silver; he certainly wouldn't be interested in Mu Jianping's meager allowance.

Mu Jianping blushed slightly and quickly apologized to Suzuki Seimei, "Little brother, I'm sorry, I think I mistook the purse for something else."

"It's alright, it's alright. Nobody's perfect. As long as you didn't admit your mistake on purpose, it's fine."

Seeing Mu Jianping's adorably flustered expression, Suzuki Seimei naturally wouldn't be angry with her. He first waved to her, then turned to look at Fang Yi, revealing a somewhat meaningful smile.

Faced with Suzuki Harumi's malicious smile, Fang Yi immediately understood his meaning. Her lips twitched slightly as she said, "I...I'm sorry."

"Okay, I forgive you."

Suzuki Seimei smiled happily, put the money on the table back into his purse, and then said to Mu Jianping and the others, "According to our bet, you still need to do one thing for me."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yi stopped Mu Jianping, who was about to speak, and asked with a slight frown, "What do you want us to do?"

Honesty is important, but Fang Yi wouldn't actually agree to Suzuki Seimei's demands if they were too unreasonable.

"What I need you to do is very simple. I've only been in Beijing for a short time and I need someone to act as my tour guide."

Suzuki Haruaki said with a smile, "You two can be my tour guides for two days and show me around the capital. That would be the end of the matter. I don't think that's too much of a burden on you, right?"

call--

Fang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay! We can agree to this."

Anyway, even without Suzuki Seimei, Fang Yi and the others were going to have a good time exploring the capital, so it wouldn't make a difference if he was just a little kid.

“Great! Let’s go then! You take me to the snack street in Beijing first, I want to try all the snacks here.”
