Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Pu Siqinglan not only mastered the perfected level of "Bone-Melting Palm", but her marksmanship was also very impressive.

Unless she encounters other powerful superhumans, with Pu Siqinglan's current strength, it would be easy for her to subdue some professional assassins.

Once Pu Siqinglan has recruited a group of usable assassins, she can secretly absorb some of the underworld forces in Hong Kong and quickly establish a foothold there.

Suzuki Seimei didn't have much of an opinion on the plan that Urashi Seiran came up with, and he also had great faith in Urashi Seiran's abilities.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei told Urashi Seiran to go ahead and do her thing without worry. If she encountered any problems that she couldn't solve on her own, Suzuki Seimei would naturally be there to back her up.

do not forget!

Suzuki Seimei still had over a million taels of silver notes, roughly equivalent to over four billion yen in cash.

Although these silver notes are far less valuable than the gold in the Twilight Mansion, their greatest advantage is that they are easy to carry.

With these silver notes in hand, Suzuki Seimei could transform into "Billion-Punch Man" in a short time, and sweeping through Hong Kong Island should not be a problem.

After all, Hong Kong Island is just a city, and not the capital of the country. Suzuki Harumi did not believe that there would be too many powerful superhumans here.

Two days later

Suzuki Estate

"Around 2 p.m. this afternoon, at the traffic lights in Beika Park, Detective Nara Sawa was shot and killed by an unknown assailant."

The perpetrator is still at large. The National Police Agency has increased its manpower and established an investigation headquarters at the Beika Police Station…

As Suzuki Haruaki lay on the sofa watching TV, he couldn't help but frown slightly when the news suddenly interrupted the broadcast.

Although the crime rate in Mihua Town has always been high, cases involving the killing of police officers are extremely rare.

Ai Haibara, who was teasing Black Whirlwind, was also drawn to the news broadcast on TV. She looked thoughtful and thought to herself, "Could it be those guys who did it?"

Ordinary criminals wouldn't dare to shoot a police officer, but those guys from the Black Organization don't have so many concerns.

If the police officer Nara Sawa, who was shot and killed, inadvertently uncovered some secrets of the Black Organization, then it would be quite normal for him to be silenced by members of the Black Organization.

Of course!

Ai Haibara quickly dismissed the idea; if it really was the Black Organization, they would never have done it so crudely.

Even if the members of the Black Organization wanted to kill someone to silence them, they would choose to do so secretly and then destroy the evidence.

Shooting a current detective in the street would have too much of an impact; it would be tantamount to provoking the police and would only provoke a full-scale investigation. Gin and his team obviously wouldn't do something so stupid.

In order to apprehend the murderer of Officer Nara Sawaji as soon as possible, Inspector Megure and his team immediately formed a special task force.

Because the murderer killed someone in the street, many pedestrians witnessed the scene of Officer Narasawa being shot.

More than ten witnesses, including Conan and Genta, were all brought to the police station by Inspector Megure to assist with the investigation.

Unfortunately, it was raining heavily outside when the shooting occurred, and the killer was not only wearing a one-piece raincoat but also holding an umbrella.

Therefore, none of the more than ten witnesses, including Conan, could see the killer's face clearly, and they couldn't even be sure whether the killer was male or female.

Based on the eyewitness testimonies provided by Conan and his friends, Inspector Megure and his team were unable to identify the culprit, but they did conclude that the culprit was left-handed because he fired the gun with his left hand.

Just as the police were doing their best to track down the killer, a second case of a current detective being shot and killed occurred.

The second police officer shot was named Shiba Ichiro; his body was found in the underground parking lot of his apartment building.

The time between the shooting of Shiba Ichiro and the shooting of Nara Sawa was less than twelve hours.

In less than half a day, two incumbent criminal police officers were shot and killed, which was tantamount to a serious provocation against the police and aroused the anger of all police officers.

However, Inspector Megure and his team had very few clues. Apart from the two deceased detectives who were both holding police handbooks, they had no other useful leads.

Furthermore, considering that both of the deceased detectives were clutching their police handbooks before they died, Inspector Megure and his team made a bold guess: the perpetrators of these two cases were very likely also police officers.

However, in order to prevent public panic and to prevent unscrupulous media from exaggerating the situation, Inspector Megure and his team did not make their suspicions public, but instead prepared to investigate suspicious police officers privately.

……

next morning

Mihua Sun Plaza Hotel

"Officer Shiratori's sister really knows how to pick her timing! Why did she have to invite someone to a wedding banquet at this time of year?"

After leading everyone into the hotel lobby, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but complain.

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. They set the date a month ago, so we can't blame them for this happening!"

"Besides, it's not a wedding banquet they're having today, it's just a wedding celebration!"

Sonoko couldn't help but interject, "The guests invited today are all friends of the bride and groom, as well as some police officers."

"Okay, okay! I got it."

Kogoro Mouri waved his hand impatiently and led Seimei Suzuki and the others into the elevator.

In fact, Kogoro Mouri knew about this too, and it was no wonder that the bride and groom who held the wedding celebration were not to blame. He had just made a casual complaint.

Chapter 403 I Have a Blade That Can Slay Ghosts and Gods

Although Kogoro Mouri had long since retired from the police force, he maintained a good relationship with Inspector Megure and his colleagues, and was therefore very concerned about the case in which the two detectives were shot and killed.

In order to help the police catch the murderer as soon as possible, Kogoro Mouri secretly called Inspector Megure, hoping to get some useful clues from him, but Inspector Megure brushed him off.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, as if he had been given the cold shoulder. When you're in a bad mood, you tend to complain.

"You still write so carelessly!"

Just as Kogoro Mouri and Seimei Suzuki were signing the guest registration form, a somewhat amused voice suddenly rang out.

Suzuki Seimei subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw Eri Kisaki, dressed in a purple dress, standing behind them with a playful expression.

"mom!"

Ran Mouri was overjoyed to see Eri Kisaki there, and smiled broadly.

(* ￣︶￣)

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but he maintained a straight face and said, "They invited you too?"

“Sara is a future lawyer in the legal profession, so we naturally know each other.”

The "Sara" that Eri Kisaki mentioned is actually named Shiratori Sara, who is Officer Shiratori's younger sister and the main character at today's wedding celebration.

Sonoko moved closer to Eri, looking at her autographed signature, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Auntie, your handwriting is so beautiful!"

"That's for sure. Aunt Eri is the queen of the legal world, so it's only natural that she has beautiful handwriting."

Suzuki Haruaki nodded in agreement, then tilted his head back and said, "Aunt Eri not only has beautiful handwriting, but she's also very beautiful!"

"You're so sweet-talking~"

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki smiled and patted Seimei Suzuki's head.

"Sycophant!"

Seeing how well Suzuki Seimei and Eri Kisaki got along, Conan pouted with a hint of envy and jealousy.

Because Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri are childhood friends, and he always likes to get into trouble with Ran, he was often beaten up by Eri Kisaki when they were young.

Now, seeing how Suzuki Seimei, that little sycophant, won over Eri Kisaki's heart with just a few words, she naturally regrets her past actions.

If I had been as eloquent as Suzuki Haruaki when I was a child, I probably wouldn't have had so many tragic childhood memories.

"It's so lively, there are so many people here!"

"Yes! Lots of celebrities came too."

"Of course, the Shiratori family is a prominent family in Japan, and the guests at the banquet are naturally elites from all walks of life."

When Suzuki Seimei and his group entered the banquet hall, hundreds of guests had already gathered there.

Besides the relatives and friends of the Shiratori and Haruzuki families, there were also dozens of police officers, including Inspector Megure and his colleagues, who were all invited by Inspector Shiratori.

Ai Haibara looked around and couldn't help but complain, "The police here are way too obvious. They all look so fierce and menacing, making the atmosphere so heavy. They really don't fit in with the atmosphere here."

Haruaki Suzuki shrugged and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. There have already been two cases of current detectives being shot and killed, and the murderer hasn't been caught yet. Inspector Megure and the others simply can't eat or drink!"

"Huh? Isn't that Captain Odagiri?"

Kogoro Mouri's gaze suddenly fell on a middle-aged man in a black suit. He called out to Eri Kisaki and the others, "Wait here for me. I need to go and say hello to Captain Odagiri."

Seeing this, Ran Mouri asked curiously, "Mom, who is that person?"

Eri Kisaki said, "His name is Toshiro Odagiri. When that lousy detective was still a policeman, he was the head of the Criminal Investigation Division. Now he has been promoted to the head of the Criminal Investigation Department."

The highest-ranking officer in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is the Superintendent General, followed by the Superintendent Inspector, and then the Superintendent Chief.

It's important to know that there is only one Superintendent General of Police in the entire island nation, and only twenty Superintendents General of Police.

Apart from the Superintendent General and the Superintendent General, the Superintendent General is considered the highest-ranking officer in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Odagiri Toshiro, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, holds the police rank of Superintendent General.

Inspector Megure's rank is Inspector. To be promoted to Superintendent, he first needs to be promoted to Superintendent, then to Superintendent-in-Chief, and finally to Superintendent.

In other words, Toshiro Odagiri's police rank is three levels higher than Inspector Megure's.

Actually, Inspector Megure has been promoted relatively quickly, after all, with Conan, the walking Grim Reaper elementary school student, around, his merits have been rising rapidly.

However, in an island nation that values ​​seniority, merit alone is not enough for promotion; one must also have a strong background.

Unless Inspector Megure can obtain the support of a top-tier power like the Suzuki Group, a policeman with an ordinary background like him can only rise to the rank of Superintendent at most. It is almost impossible for him to be promoted to Superintendent General based solely on merit.

At 56 years old, Odagiri Toshiro needs not only sufficient ability but also a powerful background to become a police superintendent.

"Ok?"

Noticing the three large characters "Check-in Available" floating above Toshiro Odagiri's head, Seimei Suzuki's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he silently walked towards Kogoro Mouri.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Toshiro Odagiri. You are rewarded with a complete set of the Great Mastery of Iaido. You can claim it at any time."

While Kogoro Mouri and Toshiro Odagiri were greeting each other, Seimei Suzuki secretly touched his thigh.

"use!"

As Suzuki Seimei silently uttered a thought, the newly acquired high-level "Iaido" skill book instantly transformed into a white light invisible to outsiders and merged into his body.
