Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Originally, Master Jiunan was a little puzzled. Why had she never heard of such a powerful figure as Aizen before?

Now that Suzuki Seimei has said this, Kyunan's doubts have been resolved.

When the Qing army entered the pass, many people did indeed risk moving overseas to avoid disaster.

For example, Yuan Chengzhi, whom Master Jiunan admired in her youth, chose to emigrate overseas because she could not stand the corrupt behavior of the rebel leader Li Zicheng.

If Aizen has been living overseas all these years, then it's quite normal that there's no legend about him in the martial arts world.

Aizen chatted with Ninaga for a while before feigning curiosity and asking, "By the way, did you come here today also for that old dog Shunzhi?"

???

Upon hearing this, Master Jiunan's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and her brows furrowed as she asked, "What do you mean by that, Master Lan? Wasn't that old dog Shunzhi already dead?"

Compared to the young Emperor Kangxi, the person that Abbess Jiunan hated the most was actually his father, Emperor Shunzhi.

Because Kang Mazi was too young, and the power in the court had always been controlled by Ao Bai and his associates, he had no opportunity to bring disaster to the country.

But the Shunzhi Emperor was different.

He was the first emperor after the Qing army entered the pass, and a large part of the responsibility for the massacres committed by the Qing army against the people should be attributed to him.

However, Emperor Shunzhi had already passed away many years ago, otherwise he would not have allowed the young Kangxi to inherit the throne.

"It turns out that the nun was unaware of this matter. However, this matter is extremely secretive, so it is understandable that the nun was unaware of it."

Seeing the puzzled look on Master Jiunan's face, Aizen knew that she did not know that Emperor Shunzhi was still alive. He said half-truthfully, "When I entered the palace to assassinate the dog emperor, I met a very powerful old eunuch. This person was the close eunuch of the old thief Shunzhi."

According to this person, the Shunzhi Emperor, in his grief over the death of Consort Dong'e, renounced worldly life and became a monk at Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai, taking the Dharma name Xingchi!

"What?! There's actually such a thing!"

Upon hearing this, Master Jiunan suddenly shrank back and unconsciously clenched his right fist.

"I can't confirm whether this is true or not. But just to be on the safe side, I'm going to go to Wutai Mountain to check it out."

Aizen said with a serious expression, "Now that the dog emperor and Ao Bai are dead, the court is leaderless, which is the perfect opportunity for us to overthrow the Qing dynasty."

If that old traitor Shunzhi is still alive, he must be executed. Otherwise, allowing him to return to the palace and take charge will only make us face an even more formidable Qing court!

"..."

Upon hearing Aizen's words, Abbess Jiunan's expression changed slightly, and she said indignantly, "We absolutely cannot let that old thief return to the palace alive! Hero Aizen, if you trust me, I am willing to personally go to Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai and kill that old thief!"

For Abbess Jiunan, Emperor Shunzhi was like a murderer of her father, and she naturally hoped to personally kill him.

"Um……"

Aizen pondered for a moment, then said, "This junior naturally believes in the nun's methods, but this matter should be handled sooner rather than later, and those monks in Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai are not so easy to deal with."

If the nun really wants to kill the old traitor Shunzhi, I think she should sneak into Qingliang Temple alone, which would make it less likely to alert the masters inside the temple.

As for the nun's two disciples, I can take care of them for a few days. We will stay here for a few days and wait for good news from the nun.

If the abbess's assassination attempt fails by accident, I will then step in. What do you think, abbess?

Because Suzuki Seimei knew the true identity of Ninagakure, he was willing to give her the opportunity to assassinate Emperor Shunzhi, as a way of doing her a favor.

"Thank you for your kindness, Hero Lan!"

Master Jiunan bowed to Aizen, her face full of gratitude, and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Aizen, to take care of my two disciples for a few days."

"You're too kind, nun!"

Upon learning that Emperor Shunzhi was still alive, Abbess Jiunan could no longer sit still. She gave Ake and Aqi a few instructions and then set off for Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai.

Master Jiunan had already mastered the "Divine Speed ​​Transformation" technique to the highest level, enabling her to travel a thousand miles a day. Her speed was even faster than riding a horse.

"Sister Ake, Sister Aqi, shall we go shopping?"

After Ake and the others finished breakfast, Suzuki Seimei suggested with anticipation, "We just arrived here last night and haven't had a chance to see what the market is like yet."

"Okay~"

Ake and Aqi were at an age where they were naturally playful, and now that Master Jiunan, who could restrain them, was not around, they naturally would not refuse Suzuki Seimei's invitation.

(?w?)

When Suzuki Seimei saw that Ako and the others had agreed, a happy smile immediately appeared on his little face. He then walked to Aizen's side, took his hand, and said in a coquettish tone, "Fifth Uncle, will you come with us too?"

Chapter 361 Behold My Sugar-Coated Bullets

"I really can't do anything with you, so let's go together!"

Aizen shook his head helplessly, reached out and ruffled Suzuki Seimei's hair, agreeing with a doting expression.

Hearing that Aizen was also going shopping, Ake and Aqi felt a secret thrill.

What Ake and the others didn't know was that Suzuki Seimei and Aizen were originally one; they were just performing a double aria.

Aizen deliberately told Master Jiunan that Emperor Shunzhi was still alive just to get her away!

Ake and Aqi are not only bad at martial arts, but also lack experience and are simple-minded, just like little white rabbits who are easy to fool.

Furthermore, influenced by the nun Kunan, they have an innate affinity for a great hero like Aizen, so it wouldn't be difficult for Suzuki Seimei to win them over in a short period of time.

With Aizen's deliberate attempts to please them, the four quickly became acquainted, and Ako and the others began to call Aizen "Brother Aizen".

"Ake, look at that butterfly hairpin, isn't it beautiful?"

When Suzuki Seimei led Ake and the others into a jewelry shop, Ake's eyes were immediately drawn to a gold hairpin with a butterfly design.

"This young lady has excellent taste!"

Upon hearing this, the jewelry store owner immediately introduced it enthusiastically: "This gold butterfly hairpin is not only made of pure gold, but its design was also specially customized by a master craftsman according to the popular styles in the capital."

Ake couldn't help but ask, "How much does this golden butterfly hairpin cost?"

"If this young lady is truly interested, just give her one hundred taels of silver at cost price."

The proprietress glanced at Aizen without batting an eye and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, a golden hairpin is a perfect match for a beautiful woman. With such a pretty young lady, this golden butterfly hairpin is not a mistake in choosing its owner."

Judging from Aizen and Suzuki Seimei's attire, the proprietress knew they were wealthy, which is why she was so enthusiastic towards Ako and the others.

?(????ω????)?

Upon hearing this, Ake and Aqi blushed slightly, revealing somewhat embarrassed expressions.

Ake and her companion had only a little over thirty taels of silver in savings combined, not even enough to buy half a gold butterfly hairpin.

"What a perfect match between a golden hairpin and a beautiful woman! I want this golden butterfly hairpin!"

Just as Ake and the others were somewhat at a loss, Aizen suddenly smiled and walked to the counter, picked up the golden butterfly hairpin, and then thoughtfully inserted it into Aqi's hair bun, saying gently, "Little sister Aqi, this golden butterfly hairpin really suits you. Consider it a gift from your older brother!"

"Thank you... thank you, Brother Lan."

Although Aki wanted to refuse, looking at Aizen's gentle smile, she couldn't bring herself to say no and could only shyly accept the gift.

Looking at Aizen and Aki's affectionate relationship, a hint of envy flashed in Ake's beautiful eyes.

"Alright, little sister Ake, don't just stand there. Pick whatever you like. Your big brother Lan has plenty of money."

Aizen took out a stack of silver notes worth a thousand taels of silver and whispered in Ake's pink ear, "These silver notes were found in the treasure vault of that great villain Ao Bai. We can consider this robbing the rich to help the poor, so you can spend them as you please."

(????)

Feeling the burning breath coming from her ear, Ake's face instantly turned red, and she felt a little dizzy.

Seeing Ake's shy and alluring appearance, Lan Ran suppressed the urge to kiss her, slapped the silver notes in his hand on the counter, and said to the eager proprietress, "My sister is easily embarrassed, proprietress, why don't you help them choose a few sets of suitable jewelry!"

"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely prepare the best jewelry for the two ladies. I've never seen such beautiful girls before!"

Having finally found a big customer, the proprietress naturally didn't hold back and took out the most expensive pieces of jewelry in the store.

Finally, bombarded by the landlady's relentless flattery, Ake and her companions, in a daze, accepted the jewelry worth thousands of taels of silver.

For a wealthy man like Suzuki Seimei, several thousand taels of silver was just a drop in the ocean.

However, in the eyes of Ake and Aqi, several thousand taels of silver was a huge sum of money. They would never even dare to think about spending so much money normally!

The two women, overwhelmed by Aizen's money offensive, grew increasingly close to him.

Not only can they hold hands openly now, but even if Aizen secretly reaches out and makes some indecent moves, Ako and the others won't scold him; they'll just give him a flirtatious glance.

Of course!

Aizen was able to win over Ako and Aki so quickly not entirely because he was willing to spend money, but more so because he had a hero's aura.

For inexperienced young female warriors like Ake, Aizen, a highly renowned hero in the martial arts world, was practically their role model.

Therefore, Aizen's desire to win over Ako and the others is as simple as a celebrity wanting to sleep with their fans.

……

The moon was like a silver plate.

"Thump thump thump..."

Just as Aqi and Ake were lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Who?"

With her pretty face flushed, Ake suddenly opened her eyes and called out towards the door.

"Sister Ake, it's me!"

Upon hearing Suzuki Harumi's voice, Ake quickly got up, opened the door, and welcomed the little one, who was wearing pajamas, into the room.

Seeing this, Aqi couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoming, why aren't you sleeping in your own room? Why are you in our room?"

Suzuki Seimei said innocently, "I want to sleep too! But the sound of Uncle Wu and Sister Mu fighting is too loud. They fought all night last night, and I didn't get a good night's sleep."

"Fighting..."

Upon hearing this, Aqi and Ake were slightly taken aback, and then their pretty faces instantly turned red.

Although Ake and the others were inexperienced, they had at least seen pigs run, even if they hadn't eaten pork, so they naturally knew the true meaning of the "fighting" that Suzuki Seimei mentioned.

Moreover, although there was a room between the room where Ako and the others were staying and the room where Aizen and the others were staying, they could still barely hear some sounds with their hearing.

That's why Ake and the others couldn't fall asleep for so long, and forbidden images kept popping into their minds.

"Gurgle~"
