Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"A gorilla?"

Upon hearing this, the burly man in black twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.

(′???`)

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Sayuri couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Huh? Isn't this Ran? Seimei, Conan, you're here too?" Just as Matsumoto Sayuri was about to speak up to explain, a familiar face suddenly appeared from behind the burly man in the shadows.

"Inspector Megure!"

Ran Mouri was somewhat surprised to see who it was and said, "Inspector Megure, what are you doing here?"

Inspector Megure chuckled, "When our superior's daughter gets married, how can we, as her subordinates, not come and offer our congratulations?"

"My boss's daughter is getting married?!"

Seeing this, Matsumoto Sayuri smiled and introduced, "Ran, Sonoko, this uncle who looks like a gorilla is my father, Matsumoto Kiyonaga. He is the superintendent of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri and Sonoko looked on in disbelief and subconsciously glanced back and forth between Sayuri Matsumoto and the burly man in black.

To be honest, Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Matsumoto Sayuri really don't look alike at all. They're like a gorilla and a little rabbit, completely different species.

"I'm...I'm so sorry, we were so rude just now." The two women, recovering from their shock, apologized to Matsumoto Kiyonaga with embarrassed expressions.

Matsumoto Sayuri waved her hand with a smile and said, "It's okay~ It's all because my dad always has such a stern face when he's not doing anything~"

"Uncle, your hands are so big!"

Seeing the three large characters "Check-in Available" floating above Matsumoto Kiyonaga's head, Suzuki Haruaki pretended to be childish and walked to his side, gesturing with his small hand over Matsumoto Kiyonaga's right hand.

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

"Seimei, come back quickly, don't be naughty!" Sonoko called out hurriedly when she saw this.

"It's alright. I think this little brother is quite brave. Ordinary children wouldn't dare to get this close to me." Matsumoto Kiyoshi's lips curled up slightly as he reached out and patted Suzuki Seimei's little head.

In fact, Matsumoto Kiyonaga really likes children, but he was born with a villainous face, which makes ordinary children afraid to get close to him.

Therefore, Matsumoto Kiyonaga did not find Suzuki Seimei mischievous; on the contrary, he felt that the child was very bold and very cute.

In a childish voice, Suzuki Haruaki said, "When I first saw you, Uncle, I was quite scared, but I knew you were a policeman, so I wasn't afraid at all anymore. After all, policemen are good people who catch bad guys!"

“Little brother is right. Police officers only arrest bad guys, so good kids don’t have to be afraid.” Matsumoto Kiyoshi nodded with a smile.

"Speaking of which, Dad, what do you think of my outfit today? You should at least give me some feedback~" Matsumoto Sayuri lifted the two hems of her wedding dress and twirled around in front of Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

Faced with his beloved daughter's question, Matsumoto Kiyonaga, this muscular man, nodded slightly and said, "Very beautiful."

Before Matsumoto Sayuri could even show a happy smile, Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke again: "But still, she can't compare to your deceased mother."

After finishing his long speech, Matsumoto Kiyoshi didn't give Matsumoto Sayuri a chance to refute him and turned to leave the dressing room.

So arrogant!

Matsumoto Sayuri pouted and said, "Honestly, Dad is always like this; he just doesn't want to sincerely praise me."

While Ran Mouri and the others were filming Sayuri Matsumoto, Seimei Suzuki curiously began to study the new sign-in skill.

Back then, Suzuki Seimei had already signed the proficiency level "Guns Precision" from Takagi Wataru, and now he had signed the same skill from Matsumoto Kiyonaga. He was a little curious about whether the two skills could be fused together.

As Suzuki Seimei silently uttered the word "use," memories and knowledge about using various firearms immediately flooded his mind, as if he had actually practiced marksmanship diligently for over ten years.

After Suzuki Seimei absorbed all these memories and knowledge, he found that his understanding of firearms had reached a much higher level, and his related skill attributes had also changed.

Skill Name: Gun Precision

Type: Passive Skill

Level: Mastery

Effect: Increases accuracy by 80% when using firearms.

Consumption: None

Cooldown time: None

Note: Please call me the Wanchai Gun God!

After the two Proficiency-level "Guns Precision" skills were merged, the skill level was raised to the Master level, and the accuracy of shooting with firearms was increased from 50% to 80%.

Improving accuracy by 30 percent may not sound like much, but it's a significant improvement.

It's important to understand that the accuracy this skill brings isn't limited to just one type of firearm; it applies to all firearms, including sniper rifles and heavy weapons like Gatling guns.

"What are you shy about? You're the groom today!"

boom!

Suddenly, the door to the dressing room was pushed open, and the groom, dressed in a white suit, was pushed in by a group of groomsmen who seemed to enjoy the spectacle.

"It's him!" Upon seeing Qinglang's appearance, Suzuki Seimei's expression changed slightly.

"Seimei, do you know this person?" Conan noticed Suzuki Seimei's unusual behavior and asked curiously.

Suzuki Haruaki said, "His name is Takasugi Toshihiko. He is the heir to the Takasugi Group. I have run into him several times when I went to banquets with Sonoko and the others."

However, what truly made Suzuki Seimei's expression change slightly was not Takasugi Toshihiko's status as a rich second-generation, but rather the fact that the words "Check-in Available" were also floating above the man's head.

Based on Suzuki Haruaki's previous experience with signing in, the person in front of him, Takasugi Toshihiko, is very likely the culprit, and less likely the victim.

"Oh no, the camera battery seems to be running out of power." Ran Mouri, who was recording Matsumoto Sayuri and the others, couldn't help but exclaim.

"No way!"

"Yuanzi, there seems to be an electronics store nearby. I'll go buy a new battery."

"Ran, I'll go with you!" Sonoko subconsciously followed Ran Mouri's footsteps, and didn't forget to turn to Seimei Suzuki and tell him, "Seimei, you and Conan wait here for a while, don't wander around."

"I know~"

Suzuki Seimei nodded obediently.

Seeing Ran Mouri and Sonoko leave, Toshihiko Takasugi breathed a sigh of relief, but a barely perceptible glint of killing intent flashed deep in his eyes.

"Why are you still drinking this kind of non-nutritious stuff?" Takasugi Toshihiko reached out and took the beverage can from Matsumoto Sayuri's hand, then placed it on the table next to him with feigned displeasure.

Just as Takasugi Toshihiko turned around, he secretly took out the poison he had hidden in his sleeve and poured it into Matsumoto Sayuri's favorite lemon tea.

From the perspective of Suzuki Haruaki and Conan as children, they can only see Takasugi Toshihiko's back and cannot see his little actions at all.

However, what Takasugi Toshihiko didn't know was that his actions hadn't escaped Matsumoto Sayuri's notice.

When Matsumoto Sayuri saw that her fiancé had poisoned her drink, her beautiful eyes showed only a faint sadness and relief, without the slightest resentment.

"What's going on? Why does she look so sad?" Suzuki Seimei noticed Matsumoto Sayuri's unusual behavior and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Because Suzuki Seimei suspected that Matsumoto Sayuri might be a victim, he had been secretly keeping an eye on her and noticed her unusual behavior immediately.

"Fine, I really can't do anything with you. It's your fault for liking lemon tea so much." Takasugi Toshihiko shook the lemon tea in his hand and handed the can back to Matsumoto Sayuri with a smile.

Looking at the lemon tea that Takasugi Toshihiko handed her, Matsumoto Sayuri couldn't help but reveal a somewhat bitter smile.

Twenty years ago, her first love, who had always protected her, gave her lemon tea to give her courage, and that's how she came to like the sweet and sour taste.

How ironic that this man, who is about to become her husband, wants to kill her!

But when she thought of the grudge between Takasugi Toshihiko and her father, Matsumoto Sayuri really couldn't bring herself to hate him. Perhaps only by dying herself could she resolve the resentment in his heart!

A resolute glint flashed in Matsumoto Sayuri's beautiful eyes as she took the lemon tea from Takasugi Toshihiko and drank it.

As soon as the lemon tea mixed with sodium hydroxide entered her mouth, Matsumoto Sayuri felt a severe corrosive sensation in her mouth and couldn't help but show a pained expression.

"No! You can't drink it!"

Seeing this, Suzuki Seimei, who was secretly watching Matsumoto Sayuri, finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly jumped high, forcefully knocking the lemon tea out of her hand.

Although Suzuki Seimei managed to knock away the poisoned lemon tea in time, Matsumoto Sayuri, who had ingested a small amount of sodium hydroxide, still collapsed to her knees uncontrollably, with bright red blood flowing from her mouth.

"teacher!"

Upon seeing this, Conan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted at Takasugi Toshihiko, "What are you standing there for? Go call an ambulance!"

Seeing Matsumoto Sayuri's pained state, Takasugi Toshihiko felt a pang of regret and instinctively obeyed Conan's instructions, running out to call an ambulance.

Chapter 42 When Will the Cycle of Revenge End?

Uh-huh~ Uh-huh~ Uh-huh~

The ambulance arrived at the wedding venue quickly and took Matsumoto Sayuri, whose mouth was full of blood, to the hospital for treatment.

The middle-aged police officer from the forensic department reported: "Inspector Megure, we found a capsule that was not completely dissolved in Ms. Matsumoto's lemon tea, and we also found residual sodium hydroxide inside."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure and Kiyonaga Matsumoto's expressions immediately turned grim.

The presence of poisoned capsules in the lemon tea indicates that it wasn't a simple accident, but rather that someone deliberately poisoned Matsumoto Sayuri.

Inspector Megure sensed the terrifying rage emanating from Kiyonaga Matsumoto and hurriedly asked Ran Mouri, "Ran, besides Sayuri, who else among you touched that can of lemon tea just now?"

"Inspector Megure, there's no need to ask Ran-neechan anymore. I already know who the murderer is." Suzuki Haruaki suddenly grabbed Takasugi Toshihiko's right hand and exclaimed with absolute certainty, "The murderer is this guy!"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Takasugi Toshihiko. You are rewarded with 1 point of mental energy, which you can claim at any time."

"Little brother, don't talk nonsense! How could I possibly poison Sayuri?" Takasugi Toshihiko forcefully shook off Suzuki Haruaki, deliberately making an angry expression as if he had been wronged.

Upon seeing this, Sonoko's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Seimei, did you just see him poison something?"

Sonoko trusted her younger brother completely, and given Suzuki Harumi's precocious nature, he would never joke about something like this.

Suzuki Haruaki pointed at Takasugi Toshihiko's nose and cursed, "Although I didn't see this bastard poison the poison, the only person who could make Sayuri-neechan willingly drink poison is this guy."

"What?! You're saying that Matsumoto-sensei deliberately drank poison?" Ran Mouri couldn't help but exclaim.

"Sodium hydroxide generates a lot of heat when dissolved in water, and it also severely corrodes human tissue. Unless Sister Xiaobaihe has absolutely no sense of pain or touch, how could she not have noticed that there was something wrong with the lemon tea? Only an idiot would choose to poison her with sodium hydroxide!"
