Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"Alright! It's good that he wasn't beaten to death. Send someone to notify the God of Gamblers to come and ransom him!"

After Aizen finished speaking, he patted Kogi on the shoulder and said, "You should be glad that your cousin is a gambling god, otherwise Tokyo Bay would have another cement bucket tonight."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in. You are rewarded with a [Hot and Delicious Hot Pot], which you can claim at any time."

【Equipment Name: Hot and Delicious Pot】

Type: Armor

Quality: Rare

Effect 1 (Freshly Baked): Food cooked in this pot tastes twice as good for the first five minutes after it comes out of the oven.

Effect 2 (Delicious while hot): Food cooked in this pot will not taste different as long as the temperature does not drop to zero degrees Celsius.

Note: Dumplings should be eaten while they're hot!

(￣ ー￣)

After reviewing the attributes of the [Hot and Delicious Pot], Aizen's lips twitched. He felt that there was something strange about the description of this equipment.

If you only look at the equipment description, there's nothing wrong with it.

But given that Gao Yi was the one who got such a reward for signing in, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help but have some ulterior motives.

Although Suzuki Haruaki wasn't a movie enthusiast in his previous life, he had watched classic films like "God of Gamblers" several times, so he was quite familiar with the plot.

In the original plot of "God of Gamblers", the despicable Gao Yi, out of jealousy of Gao Jin's status, did not hesitate to join forces with Chen Jincheng to plot against Gao Jin. Moreover, during the time when Gao Jin was missing, he tried to forcibly defile Gao Jin's wife.

As a result, Gao Jin's wife fought desperately and accidentally died at Gao Yi's hands, and this beast didn't even spare her corpse.

He is absolutely the most despicable of all the despicable people!

To be honest, Suzuki Seimei also disliked people like Takagi, and even wished he could just slap him to death.

However, Gao Yi has not yet revealed his true colors. In Gao Jin's heart, he is still his loyal cousin.

If Suzuki Seimei were to kill Gao Yi now, he would not only fail to gain Gao Jin's gratitude, but would instead become his mortal enemy.

Suzuki Harumi was still planning to befriend Takashi, and even had the idea of ​​trying to win him over, so naturally he wouldn't do something so foolish.

Moreover, Gao Jin came to Tokyo at the invitation of Ueyama Hiroji to deal with Chen Jincheng on his behalf.

In other words, this current timeframe coincides with the very beginning of the "God of Gamblers" movie plot, and Ko Yee will soon betray Ko Chun.

Given Gao Jin's current status and position, ordinary things are unlikely to catch his eye, so winning his favor is no easy task.

Since we can't add to what's already good, we can only try to help those in need.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei decided to stand aside for now and wait until Kojin fell into misfortune like in the movie before finding a way to get him to join the "Grim Reaper" organization.

Chapter 393 The Man with His Own Background Music

Given Gao Jin's grateful nature, if Suzuki Seimei were to save his and his wife's lives and then invite him to join the 'Grim Reaper' organization, he probably wouldn't refuse.

On the other side, when Ueyama Hiroji learned that Takagi had been detained by the Gokurakusha, he was furious and immediately prepared to lead his men to the Gokurakusha to demand his release.

Because Hiroji Ueyama was unaware that the Paradise Society was backed by the behemoth 'Net' organization, he completely disregarded the Paradise Society.

However, after learning about this, Gao Jin quickly stopped Ueyama Hiroji.

According to casino rules, someone like Gao Yi, who cheats in a casino and is caught red-handed, must have at least a few fingers removed, and in more serious cases, both hands.

Therefore, even if Aizen had Gao Yi's hands cut off, it would be reasonable, and Gao Jin could not blame him for it.

Now that Aizen has sent someone to inform Takagi to go to the casino to ransom him, it means there is still room for negotiation on this matter.

If Gao Jin were to send Ueyama Hiroji directly to demand the people, it would be an attempt to intimidate them with his power, and it would be bad if it drove the people of the Paradise Society to desperation.

Despite being blocked by Gao Jin, Ueyama Hiroji could only take a few guards and escort Gao Jin to the underground casino of the Paradise Society.

"Ta-da..."

The moment Luo Hen led Gao Jin and his group into the VIP room, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help but hear the "God of Gamblers" theme song playing in his mind as he looked at the man with slicked-back hair and a black suit.

"what?"

The moment Gao Jin saw Aizen, Tong Kong shrank back slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and he put away his underestimation.

To be honest, Gao Jin didn't take the Bliss Society seriously. With his current status, even top-tier gangs in Japan would have to give him some face, let alone a third-rate gang like the Bliss Society.

However, when Gao Jin met Aizen, he realized that he had really underestimated the Paradise Society.

Although Aizen was just sitting casually on the sofa, Gao Jin could feel a powerful aura of dominance emanating from him.

Gao Jin had only ever felt such a powerful aura of dominance from national leaders; only those who had been in positions of power for a long time could cultivate such a special temperament.

Therefore, Gao Jin was certain that Aizen was definitely not a simple third-rate gang member, and his background must be extraordinary.

"I have heard so much about the God of Gamblers that it is truly an honor to meet him in person today!"

Aizen smiled and walked up to Gao Jin, extending his right hand and saying, "Hello, Mr. Gao. My name is Aizen Sousuke. You can just call me Aizen."

"Hello, Mr. Aizen!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Jin smiled and extended his right hand to shake hands with Aizen.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in. You are rewarded with a perfect-level 'Gambling Techniques' manual, which you can claim at any time."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei's lips curled up slightly, and he thought to himself, "The God of Gamblers is indeed the God of Gamblers. He started with a perfect skill."

"Jin... Brother Jin, save me..."

When Gao Yi, whose head had been beaten black and blue, saw Gao Jinru, he was as if he had seen a savior and hurriedly called out in a somewhat strained voice.

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Gao Jin subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, stared at the unidentified creature with a swollen face for a while, and asked uncertainly, "Are you A-Yi?"

"Yes...yes, it's me, Brother Jin..."

When Gao Yi saw that Gao Jin finally recognized him, he couldn't help but shed two lines of humiliating tears.

However, Gao Jin cannot be blamed for this, because Luo Hen had used a bit too much force just now. Even if Gao Yi's biological mother came, she probably wouldn't recognize him immediately, let alone Gao Jin.

“Mr. Gao, I’m sorry! My men didn’t know this person was your cousin at first. They thought someone was using your name to swindle people, so they were a little too harsh.”

"fine!"

Gao Jin waved his hand and said, "Mr. Aizen, you're too kind. Young people don't know the rules. It's good to teach him a lesson."

(╬◣д◢)

Upon hearing Gao Jin's words, a cold glint flashed deep in Gao Yi's eyes.

He was beaten so badly by others, and Gao Jin, his cousin, not only didn't help him, but he also kicked him when he was down!

Gao Yi was already terrified of Luo Hen, so he didn't dare to resent the people in the casino and could only direct his resentment at Gao Jin.

Gao Jin had no idea that Gao Yi, that ingrate, was actually blaming him in his heart. He went straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Aizen, Yi did indeed do something wrong, but he is my cousin, and I'm willing to take the blame for him. I wonder what you would like to do to let Yi off the hook?"

"If it were anyone else who dared to cause trouble in my casino, they would only end up filling Tokyo Bay."

Aizen glanced at the trembling Gao Yi, then changed the subject, saying, "However, for Mr. Gao's sake, let's just let this matter drop today."

"..."

Gao Jin was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Mr. Aizen, for your leniency. Consider today's matter something I owe you."

"Mr. Gao is indeed a smart man. I like being friends with smart people like you."

Aizen knew that Gao Yi alone was not enough to make Gao Jin submit, so he did not want to subdue Gao Jin now, but instead let him owe him a favor first, so that it would be easier to have further contact in the future.

"Long Wu!"

Upon seeing this, Hiroji Ueyama turned and gave a wink to the bodyguard beside him.

Upon hearing this, Long Wu, a rugged-looking man with a buzz cut, quickly stepped forward to help Gao Yi, who was unable to walk, to his feet and brought him to Gao Jin's side.

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

Taking advantage of the moment when Ryuu walked past him, Aizen casually raised his hand and nudged Ryuu's arm with his elbow.

"Mr. Aizen, we'll take our leave now."

"Take care, Mr. Gao."

Watching Gao Jin and the others leave, Aizen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat meaningful smile.

Since even the God of Gamblers actually exists in this world, Hong Kong Island must be even more interesting than he imagined, and might even incorporate the worldviews of other Hong Kong films.

According to the original plot, Gao Jin will later take on two more apprentices, namely "Gambling Knight" Chen Xiaodao and "Gambling Saint" Zuo Songxing.

Chen Xiaodao was just an ordinary person. Although he had a good talent for gambling, he was still far behind Gao Jin, and Suzuki Seimei was not very interested in him.

What truly interested Suzuki Seimei was "Gambling Saint" Zuo Songxing, because that guy really possessed special abilities, and he would also encounter some enemies who also had special abilities.

Chapter 394 Ran Mouri caught a cold

After some deliberation, Suzuki Seimei finally decided to send Urashi Seiran with manpower and funds to Hong Kong Island to establish a new branch.

If Suzuki Seimei hadn't first established his own power base in Hong Kong, he wouldn't have been able to save Ko Chun and his wife at the crucial moment.

Furthermore, Suzuki Haruaki has reason to suspect that the worldview on Hong Kong Island is very likely a fusion of the worldviews of Hong Kong films and variety shows, just as the worldviews on the island nation are a fusion of the worldviews of different anime.

If Suzuki Harumi is not mistaken, there should be many targets in Hong Kong who meet the sign-in requirements, so it is necessary to establish a "Net" branch there.

When Suzuki Seimei takes a long vacation, he might be able to take a trip to Hong Kong Island and perhaps encounter some unexpected surprises.

Most importantly, compared to the United States, where gunfights are a daily occurrence, Hong Kong Island is significantly safer.

At least Suzuki Seimei doesn't need to worry about running into Magneto or Professor X while walking down the street.

Aizen patted Luo Hen on the shoulder and said, "Luo Hen, you did a good job this time. Here's a reward of 1,000 contribution points. Keep up the good work in the future!"

"Thank you, Captain!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hen's pretty face lit up with a happy smile.

For Luohen, a thousand contribution points is not a small amount; it's enough for her to exchange for another second-rate martial arts manual.
