Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

After Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, he walked directly to Mu Jianping and the others, took their hands, and led them out of the hotel.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Mu Jianping. You are rewarded with one year's worth of [Pure Inner Strength], which you can claim at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Fang Yi. You are rewarded with one year's worth of [Pure Internal Energy], which you can claim at any time."

Feeling the significant increase in his internal energy, Suzuki Seimei's smile grew even brighter.

For the next hour or so, Mu Jianping and the others took Suzuki Seimei to visit dozens of famous snack shops.

Because Suzuki Harumi knew that Mu Jianping had lost her purse, and Fang Yi was penniless, he took the initiative to cover the expenses for the three of them to eat, drink, and have fun.

With Suzuki Harumi's deliberate efforts to befriend them, the three quickly became acquainted and soon began addressing each other as brother and sister.

Of course!

The reason why Mu Jianping and the others were able to trust Suzuki Seimei so quickly was partly because the two women were relatively naive and innocent, and partly because his appearance was too deceptive.

Unless one is a cunning and shrewd person, it is difficult for a normal person to be very wary when facing a child like Suzuki Seimei.

"It's getting late, junior sister, we should head back now, otherwise our senior brothers will worry."

After spending half a day showing Suzuki Seimei and the others around the capital, Fang Yi looked up at the sky, bent down, and asked, "Xiaoming, where do you live? My junior sister and I will take you home first!"

"That...that..."

Faced with Fang Yi's question, Suzuki Seimei suddenly revealed a guilty expression and said, "Actually, my home is not in the capital. I secretly came to the capital to play without telling my family."

"What did you say?!"

Fang Yi and Mu Jianping's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

"Sister Fang, Sister Mu, you don't need to worry about me. I have money, I can find an inn to stay in later."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yi replied without hesitation, "No! It's too dangerous for you to stay at an inn alone."

Although the capital city is under the emperor's nose, there are also many desperados here.

If those with ill intentions were to find out that Suzuki Seimei, a mere child, possessed a large sum of money and was all alone, some might take the risk, and his life would be in grave danger.

After spending just half a day together, Fang Yi and Mu Jianping had already grown fond of Suzuki Seimei, this cute and kind little brother, and naturally didn't want to see him in any danger.

Mu Jianping blinked her bright, watery eyes and said softly, "Senior sister, why don't we take Qin Ming back? He's just a child anyway."

"……Oh well!"

Fang Yi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

The people from the Mu family came to the capital this time to impersonate Wu Sangui's men and assassinate the young emperor in the palace.

If word gets out by accident, it could bring utter destruction to the Mu family.

Therefore, bringing Suzuki Seimei to the Mu family's stronghold in the capital was a very risky thing for Mu Jianping and the others.

If it weren't for the fact that Suzuki Seimei was still young, and Mu Jianping and the others were worried about his safety staying at the inn alone, they would never have brought him back.

"Xiaoming, let's go!"

After receiving Fang Yi's approval, Mu Jianping smiled and took Suzuki Seimei's small hand, walking towards the Mu family's stronghold in the capital.

The Mu family's lodging was a small courtyard in Yangliu Hutong. Although the sun had not yet completely set, the gate of the courtyard was tightly closed.

"Thump thump thump..."

Fang Yi walked to the front door, stretched out two fingers and knocked on the door in a special rhythm for a while. Soon, an old butler opened the door and let the three of them in.

"..."

Seeing Suzuki Seimei following Fang Yi and the others, the old butler was slightly taken aback, but he didn't say anything.

After all, Suzuki Seimei was just a child and looked harmless, so there was no way he could have worried the old butler. He was just a little curious!

"Junior Sister Fang, Little Princess, you're back!"

Fang Yi and the others led Suzuki Seimei through the front yard and were just about to head towards his boudoir when a young man with a white robe and a pigtail greeted them with a big smile.

ヽ

Upon seeing the newcomer, Fang Yi's beautiful eyes flashed with joy, and she called out in a gentle voice, "Senior Brother Liu~"

The man in front of her, who was in his early twenties and had fair skin, was none other than Fang Yi's fellow disciple, Liu Yizhou, and also her fiancé.

Liu Yizhou's gaze lingered on Fang Yi's pretty face for a moment before shifting to Suzuki Seimei. He asked with some curiosity, "Junior Sister Fang, who is this child?"

"His name is Qin Ming. I met him by chance when the little princess and I were out gathering information."

Fang Yi reached out and patted Suzuki Seimei's little head, explaining with a smile, "Because he secretly ran away to the capital to play without telling his family, we were worried that he would be targeted by human traffickers if he stayed at an inn alone, so we brought him back."

"So that's how it is."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yizhou looked enlightened but didn't say anything more.

If Suzuki Haruaki were a handsome sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, Liu Yizhou might have made things difficult for him out of jealousy.

However, Suzuki Seimei is only a seven-year-old child, so Liu Yizhou naturally wouldn't lower himself to make things difficult for him.

In the original story, although Liu Yizhou is a cowardly and timid man, he will still try his best to appear as a virtuous gentleman unless he is in mortal danger.

Suzuki Seimei tugged at Mu Jianping's small hand and asked, feigning curiosity, "Sister Mu, who is he?"

"Xiaoming, this is Senior Brother Liu Yizhou."

Mu Jianping glanced back and forth between Fang Yi and Liu Yizhou, a playful look on her face. "And he's also your sister Fang's fiancé~"

Sensing the teasing tone in Mu Jianping's words, Fang Yi blushed slightly and glared at her in annoyance.

Suzuki Seimei asked with a curious look, "Sister Mu, does this older brother also know martial arts? Is his martial arts even better than yours and Sister Fang's?"

"Of course!"

Before Mu Jianping could answer, Fang Yi said proudly, "Senior Brother Liu's martial arts are definitely better than ours. His best skills are Mu Family Fist and swordsmanship."

"Really! Big brother, you're so amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Harumi feigned admiration as he walked up to Liu Yizhou, grabbed his hand, and asked, "Big brother, are you the most skilled martial artist here?"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in, Liu Yizhou. You are rewarded with a Master-level copy of the Mu Family Fist. You can claim it at any time."

The moment Suzuki Seimei touched Liu Yizhou, a pleasant system notification sounded in his ear.

Just as Suzuki Harumi predicted, besides Mu Jianping and Fang Yi, there should be some other characters in the Mu Prince's Mansion who meet the sign-in requirements.

Suzuki Seimei outwardly feigned admiration, but inwardly he thought to himself, "This Liu Yizhou is all show and no substance. In order to prevent Fang Yi from falling into a fire pit, it seems I still have to find a chance to ruin him."

Liu Yizhou was unaware of Suzuki Seimei's true thoughts. Seeing how much Suzuki Seimei admired him, he didn't want to lose face in front of Fang Yi and the others, so he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I'm not the most powerful person in the manor. My master and my uncle are the most powerful people in the manor. They are both well-known figures in the martial arts world."

Tch~~

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Haruaki curled his lip in disdain.

What Liu Yizhou just said seemed to be humble on the surface, but in reality, he meant that apart from his master and uncle, he was the most powerful person in the Mu family.

For Suzuki Seimei, Liu Yizhou, who had already checked in, was essentially a tool with no further use.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei decisively suppressed the look of admiration on his face, and instead took Mu Jianping and Fang Yi's hands and said coquettishly, "I love listening to stories of those great heroes in the martial arts world. Can I also go and meet your master and uncle?"

"Alright, alright~ You will naturally see our master and uncle when we have dinner later."

Faced with Suzuki Seimei's coquettish charm, the two women were powerless to resist. Mu Jianping first agreed with a smile, and then said softly, "But before we eat, we need to take a bath. We've been wandering around the city for most of the day, and my senior sister and I have sweated quite a bit."

"Senior Brother Liu, we'll be going now."

Fang Yi called out to Liu Yizhou, took Suzuki Seimei's hand, and led him toward the backyard.

"Gudong..."

Watching Fang Yi's swaying and graceful figure, Liu Yizhou couldn't help but feel a little thirsty and subconsciously swallowed.

In fact, Fang Yi and Liu Yizhou were mutually attracted and had long been at the point of discussing marriage.

Unfortunately, the Mu family has several important matters to attend to recently, making it inconvenient for the two to get married at this time.

However, Prince Mu had already promised Liu Yizhou that once the important matter in the capital was settled, he would personally help him and Fang Yi hold their wedding, and it would definitely be a grand and lively affair.

Just thinking about Fang Yi in her wedding dress made Liu Yizhou feel restless and eagerly anticipate that day.

"Hey! Xiaoming, what happened to your hair?"

When Mu Jianping and the others had prepared the bathwater and were about to carry Suzuki Seimei into the large wooden tub, they were surprised to find that he had a peculiar short haircut.

Faced with the two women's surprised gazes, Suzuki Harumi, who had already prepared an excuse, scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "A month ago, I was playing around and accidentally set my hair on fire. My dad made me shave my head and wear a hat with a fake braid on top of it."

"Giggle..."

Upon hearing this explanation, Mu Jianping and Fang Yi burst into laughter, their laughter shaking them so much that Suzuki Seimei felt a little dizzy.

Mu Jianping and the others did not doubt Suzuki Seimei's words. After all, he was a mischievous kid who dared to sneak into the capital to play without telling his family. It was normal for him to accidentally burn his hair while playing with fire.

"You~"

After Fang Yi finished laughing, she stretched out her slender index finger and gently flicked Suzuki Seimei's little nose, saying, "You're so big and still playing with fire, be careful you don't wet the bed tonight~"

"I will never wet the bed!"

Suzuki Seimei glared at Fang Yi with annoyance, then picked up a water ladle and started watering himself.

"Xiaoming, let me help you scrub your back!"

"Thank you, Sister Mu~"
