Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Keep in mind that the total number of police officers that Inspector Megure brought was less than ten.

With such a small team, it would take at least two or three days to investigate all fifty-eight suspects.

Inspector Megure, looking equally troubled, said, "Screening through everyone on the list would be exhausting!"

Seeing this, Conan also curiously approached Inspector Megure and began to examine the contents of the suspect list, hoping to find a criminal who matched the death message.

While Inspector Megure and the others were reviewing the suspect list, Haruaki Suzuki quietly entered the elevator and headed towards the floor where Tokimoto was located.

If the murderer really did return to the company after killing Nakajo Katsunori, then Suzuki Seimei would only need to see who has the words "Check-in Available" floating above their head to basically confirm the murderer's identity.

"Ding!"

It's hard to say whether Suzuki Haruaki was incredibly lucky or the murderer was incredibly unlucky. After taking the elevator to the eighth floor of the building, the first thing he saw was the suspect with the words "Check-in Available" floating above his head.

With the enhancement of the perfected "Assassination Techniques", Suzuki Seimei's presence was reduced to a minimum. Even though there were still many employees working in the company, no one noticed his presence.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Kuniyoshi Bunta. You are rewarded with 1 point of strength value, which you can claim at any time."

Just as Suzuki Seimei touched the man in the blue suit with his finger, a system notification sounded in his ear.

"Kuniyoshibunta?"

Suzuki Seimei silently repeated the name to himself, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, and he exclaimed with sudden realization: "I see!"

The envelope in the deceased's hand had a death message written in blood on it, but the bloody writing was at the top of the envelope and was most likely incomplete.

At first, Haruaki Suzuki didn't understand the meaning of the three symbols: "circle," "cross," and "triangle."

However, now that Suzuki Seimei knows the murderer's name is Kuniyoshi Bunta, it's easy to deduce the meaning of these three symbols.

The circle symbol likely represents the character "吉" (ji).

The "cross" symbol represents the character "文".

As for the third "triangle" symbol, it should be the lower half of the character "太".

Perhaps it was because the deceased wrote in such a hurry before their death that they omitted the word "too".

Of course!

Although Suzuki Seimei was already certain that the man named Kuniyoshi Bunta was the real culprit in the murder of Nakajo Katsunori, he still lacked conclusive evidence.

Without making a sound, Suzuki Seimei took out a 100-yen coin, and then used "Money Ability" to convert the coin into wealth, slightly enhancing his sense of smell.

With Suzuki Seimei's sense of smell temporarily enhanced several times, he easily detected several different scents on Kuniyoshi Bunta, including a pungent smell of blood.

Suzuki Seimei raised his little nose and sniffed around, following the trail of blood emanating from Kuniyoshi Bunta, and quickly fixed his gaze on the paper shredder in the office.

If Suzuki Seimei was not mistaken, after Kuniyoshi Bunta murdered Nakajo Katsunori, he put all the blood-stained evidence documents into a shredder to destroy the evidence of his crime, which is why the shredder had that bloody smell.

"Caught you!"

Having found irrefutable evidence sufficient to convict Kuniyoshi Bunta, Suzuki Haruaki quietly left the Toshomoto Company and took the elevator back to the lobby on the first floor.

When Ai Haibara saw Seimei Suzuki return, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Seimei, where did you go just now?"

With the blessing of the perfected "Assassination Technique", Ai Haibara did not find out when Suzuki Seimei left. However, she was quite concerned about Suzuki Seimei, so she discovered that he was missing not long after he disappeared.

"I just went to Changben Company for a walk and I already know who the murderer is."

Faced with Ai Haibara's curious gaze, Seimei Suzuki saw no need to lie and recounted his earlier visit to Toshobe Company to find the culprit.

"You already know who the murderer is?"

"That's right! If I'm not mistaken, the murderer should be that man named Kuniyoshi Bunta."

"Kuniyoshibunta?"

Upon hearing the name, Ai Haibara murmured it to herself, then quickly realized what it meant.

Ai Haibara is quite intelligent, and after learning the murderer's name and combining it with the messages left by the deceased before their death, it was incredibly easy for her to deduce the truth.

Suzuki Haruaki glanced at Conan, who was still deep in thought, then toddled over to Inspector Megure and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Inspector Megure, I already know who the culprit is!"

"Seimei, are you telling the truth?"

"Ok!"

Seimei Suzuki nodded firmly, then pointed to the name of Bunta Kuniyoshi on the suspect list and said, "He's the murderer!"

Upon seeing this, Officer Takagi was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Seimei, why do you say that this person is the murderer?"

"What if I do that?"

Under the curious gazes of Inspector Megure and the others, Suzuki Seimei slowly stretched out his small hand and covered the upper part of the four characters "Kuniyoshi Bunta".

Chapter 390 Drawing a Circle to Curse Gin

o(?Д?)っ!

"This is……"

Upon seeing the half-finished "Kuniyoshi Bunta," Inspector Megure and his team finally realized the true meaning of the "circle," "cross," and "triangle."

"..."

Conan, who had been watching from the sidelines, stared at Suzuki Seimei and Ai Haibara for a while before silently walking to the corner and squatting down.

I'm tired! Let's destroy it!

Earlier, Ran Mouri asked Conan what the special meaning of "X" was, but before Conan could come up with the correct answer, Ai Haibara beat him to it.

Now, Suzuki Seimei has once again beaten Conan to the punch by deciphering the death message left behind by the deceased.

This makes Conan wonder if his intelligence is no longer comparable to that of elementary school students.

Conan is now starting to suspect that the drug Gin gave him might have some side effect of impairing the user's intelligence.

Otherwise, how could he, a famous high school detective, be no match for two elementary school students?

If Conan lost to Suzuki Haruaki, it could be explained as an exception.

After all, Suzuki Haruaki is nothing like a normal elementary school student.

But now Conan has not only lost to Suzuki Seimei, but also to Haibara Ai, which makes him question his life.

"Wash! Wash! Wash..."

Conan silently crouched in the corner, drawing circles and cursing the innocent Gin.

???

Looking at Conan crouching in the corner, Suzuki Seimei wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Conan was radiating a dark resentment.

No wonder he's the embodiment of death!

Following Suzuki Haruaki's suggestion, Inspector Megure and his team arrived at Tokimoto Company and quickly noticed the paper shredder. In the shredder's trash can, they found pieces of paper still stained with blood.

After more than half an hour of piecing together, the criminal evidence that Kuniyoshi Bunta had destroyed was roughly pieced together by Officer Takagi and his team, and fingerprints of Kuniyoshi Bunta and the deceased were also detected on it.

Faced with such irrefutable evidence, Kuniki Bunta had no chance to deny it and could only admit to the crimes he had committed.

Because he was worried that the anti-aging drug might actually have the side effect of impairing intelligence, Conan remained preoccupied even after the case was closed, and he didn't recover until he returned to the Mouri Detective Agency with Ran.

"Drip drip..."

Just as Conan was lying on the bed, feeling sullen, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hmm? It's a text message from Xiaolan."

Conan opened the text message with some curiosity, and saw that it read: "Shinichi, I encountered another murder case today. I think I might really be cursed!"

As for the details of today's case, I'll tell you later. You need to come back soon!

XXX

orchid."

?(????ω????)?

Upon seeing the three "X"s at the end of the text message, Conan's gloomy expression vanished instantly, replaced by shyness.

If it were in the past, Conan might not have known that "X" represents a kiss.

However, Conan heard Ai Haibara explain the true meaning of the "X" today.

The thought of Ran Mouri opening her arms to him, begging for a kiss, a hug, or to be lifted up high made Conan unable to help but smile sheepishly.

……

An underground casino in Tokyo

Wearing a gray tracksuit, Luo Hen was sitting cross-legged on the office sofa, intently cultivating the "Divine Dragon Heart Method".

Ever since Luohen witnessed Aizen catching a bullet with his bare hands, she has longed for that kind of supernatural power and hopes that one day she can catch a bullet with her bare hands like Aizen.

Therefore, when Tachibana Maya and the others compiled the martial arts manuals of the Divine Dragon Cult into an exchange list, it immediately aroused the great interest of Luo Hen and the others.

Upon learning that these martial arts manuals could grant practitioners supernatural powers, Luo Hen did not hesitate to spend all his contribution points to exchange for the "Divine Dragon Heart Method".

In fact, when practicing internal energy cultivation techniques, one should find a quiet, secluded room to practice, so as to avoid being disturbed by outsiders and causing one to suffer from qi deviation.

However, a novice like Luohen who has just started cultivating internal energy has no need to worry about going into qi deviation.

Because not everyone is qualified to go into qi deviation. To go into qi deviation through internal energy cultivation, one must at least cultivate pure internal energy for several decades.

Luo Hen had just spent a large amount of contribution points to exchange for this "Divine Dragon Heart Method" two days ago, and had only recently cultivated his first strand of internal energy. Even if he wanted to suffer a qi deviation, he couldn't.

The reason why Luo Hen chose to cultivate the "Divine Dragon Heart Method" in his office instead of returning to his villa was because he could also earn a certain amount of contribution points by overseeing the casino.

Although Luohen had already redeemed the "Divine Dragon Heart Method," she still wanted to redeem martial arts manuals related to combat and movement techniques.

In order to earn more contribution points, Luohen simply decided to stay at the casino permanently.

do not forget!

Luo Hen and her companions were beautiful assassins meticulously trained by Madam M. During their years of intensive training on that deserted island, each of them endured inhuman torture.

Although Luohen's strength is not as good as Xia Lin's and the others, he is no ordinary person for being able to survive and enter the finals.

Having been specially trained by Madam M for so many years, Luohen knew the law of the jungle, so when she saw the hope of stepping into the extraordinary realm, she naturally wouldn't cheat in her cultivation.

Moreover, in Luo Hen's eyes, even sitting in the casino every day was not hard work at all.
