Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Faced with this ill-intentioned Indian and his two swaggering dogs, Gao Jin's face darkened, and a chilling killing intent emanated from his body.

Compared to the clueless Indian man, the two wolfhounds were clearly more perceptive. They sensed the murderous intent emanating from Gao Jin and were immediately frightened into tucking their tails between their legs and shutting their mouths.

"Woof!!!"

Gao Jin suddenly opened his mouth and let out a low bark, which startled the two wolfhounds, causing them to turn and run away.

???

The Indian man was stunned at first, then realized that the two beasts had abandoned him and run away. He hurriedly chased after the direction the wolfhounds had fled.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing this comical scene, Gao Jin couldn't help but laugh smugly.

Unfortunately, joy turned to sorrow!

Unbeknownst to Gao Jin, Chen Xiaodao, who lived at the foot of the mountain, had deliberately set a trap on the nearby mountain path to retaliate against the Indian man from earlier.

The Indian guy was about to fall into the trap, but Gao Jin scared him away at the last minute, so he took the place of the unlucky guy.

Chapter 409 Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?

"Ah ah ah..."

Just as Gao Jin was about to continue on his way, he suddenly felt his footing give way and before he could react, he tumbled down the hillside.

Seeing this, the crew-cut man hanging far behind Gao Jin did not rush to help. Instead, he took out a second-hand cell phone from his pocket and called Pu Siqinglan.

"Sister Qinglan, I am Xiaofu."

When the call connected, the man with the buzz cut said excitedly, "That Gao Jin really did roll down the hillside just now. Rolling down such a high hillside, I reckon he must have been seriously injured. Should I take him to the hospital?"

"No need! You just need to protect Gao Jin secretly. Unless he is really in mortal danger, you are not allowed to take action on your own."

"okay, I get it."

Xiao Fu nodded subconsciously, and after finishing his call with Pu Siqinglan, he carefully put away his secondhand phone like a precious treasure.

Although Xiao Fu had signed a ten-year contract with Pu Si Qing Lan... no! It was a work contract with an annual salary of one million Hong Kong dollars, he was still reluctant to spend money extravagantly, and even his mobile phone was only a second-hand one.

In order to quickly gain a foothold in Hong Kong, Pu Siqinglan spent more than ten million US dollars in just half a month to recruit hundreds of professional assassins for his own use.

Of course!

Hong Kong Island is ultimately just a bustling city, not a bustling country.

Therefore, most of the hundreds of professional assassins recruited by Pu Siqinglan and her team were novice, third-rate assassins, with only a very small number being elite assassins.

Xiao Fu, who was sent by Pu Siqinglan to secretly protect Gao Jin, is a rookie assassin who has just entered the profession.

However, Xiao Fu is different from ordinary rookie assassins. His combat ability is very high, comparable to a slightly weaker first-class assassin.

If it weren't for the fact that Charlene and the others had started practicing martial arts manuals, even if Charlene and Catherine joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match for Little Rich.

In Pu Siqinglan's eyes, Xiao Fu, a highly talented rookie assassin, is a rough diamond waiting to be polished. That's why she assigned him the task of protecting Gao Jin, clearly intending to use this opportunity to train him.

If it were any other professional assassin, they might feel somewhat resistant to receiving this kind of bodyguard-like protection mission.

But Xiao Fu wouldn't think that way at all, because he was a kind-hearted person, and even as an assassin, he had his bottom line.

Whenever Xiao Fu takes on an assassination mission, he would rather risk his life to assassinate gang leaders than to assassinate innocent elderly people, women, and children.

Actually, Franklin's personality is more suited to being a bodyguard than an assassin.

Unfortunately, Xiao Fu was an undocumented immigrant who smuggled himself from the mainland. Without an ID card, he was not qualified to be a bodyguard for wealthy people, so he had no choice but to become an assassin.

Now, Xiao Fu has been recruited by Pu Si Qing Lan and can earn an annual salary of one million Hong Kong dollars, which is about the same as that of a civil servant.

As long as it doesn't interfere with his salary, Xiao Fu doesn't care whether he assassinates or protects his target.

……

Two days later

Dr. Agasa's house

"What did you say?! Someone stole the case reports that Detective Mori had handled from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Professor Agasa, who was repairing the "Giant Blade" skateboard for Suzuki Seimei, was stunned by Conan's shocking revelation and asked incredulously, "Did Officer Takagi really tell you that?"

Hush

Conan first gestured for Professor Agasa to be quiet, then pointed to Suzuki Haruaki, who was playing games on the sofa, and whispered, "Professor, keep your voice down, don't let Haruaki hear you."

Although Suzuki Seimei knew the secret that Conan was actually Shinichi Kudo, he didn't tell Suzuki Seimei about the Black Organization; he didn't intend to involve Suzuki Seimei in this matter.

However, what Conan didn't know was that Suzuki Seimei's understanding of the Black Organization far exceeded his imagination.

If Suzuki Seimei wanted, he could even have Ai Haibara use the drug information he obtained from the Black Organization to create an antidote that would temporarily make Conan grow larger.

If Conan knew about this, he would probably instantly become a sycophant to Suzuki Seimei, begging our young master Suzuki to help him develop an antidote.

Unfortunately, Conan was unaware of this, and even went to great lengths to prevent Suzuki Seimei from getting involved in anything related to the Black Organization.

Upon hearing Conan's words, Professor Agasa glanced instinctively at Suzuki Haruaki's retreating figure, then leaned close to him and whispered, "Could the people who stole the data be those guys?"

"That's very likely. Those guys haven't found my body, so they'll definitely start to wonder if I'm really dead?"

Conan said with a solemn expression, "The sleeping Kogoro Mouri only became famous after I disappeared. It's not impossible that they suspect I was secretly giving Uncle Mouri advice."

Just as Conan has always been obsessed with Gin, he believes that Gin must also be very wary of him and want to do everything he can to get rid of him.

Their relationship is just like that of Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty—they are destined rivals!

Gin: Hmm... Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?

ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

Suzuki Seimei's ears twitched as he eavesdropped on Conan and Professor Agasa's conversation, a somewhat helpless smile appearing on his face.

To be honest, Conan really thinks too highly of himself. Gin has long forgotten about him; he's only interested in Shuichi Akai and Shiho Miyano now.

Professor Agasa said worriedly, "If that's really the case, then aren't you in a dangerous situation right now?"

"Doctor, you don't need to be so nervous!"

Conan waved his hand with a smile and said, "After all, who could have imagined that I would turn into this child-like figure after eating the poison those guys developed? This isn't a science fiction movie."

"What you're saying makes some sense."

"Although I can't be sure yet whether those guys stole Uncle Mori's case report or not, one thing is certain: someone is indeed investigating Uncle Mori in secret."

Conan paused, stroking his chin, and said, "And there's something I don't understand: why did those people who stole the data send it back to the Metropolitan Police Department intact afterward?"

"I think they probably returned the documents after reviewing them and finding no useful information, right?"

"Fool!"

Conan said speechlessly, "Then they might as well just throw the data away! By sending the data back to the Metropolitan Police Department, aren't they just telling Inspector Megure and the others that the Metropolitan Police Department doesn't keep its data properly?"

Chapter 410 My godson can only be spoiled by myself

Dr. Agasa frowned and said, "That does sound strange."

"There are only two possibilities in this matter: either they want to show that they are fully aware of our current situation, or..."

Before Conan could finish speaking, Hattori Heiji, who came out of the restroom, chimed in, "Either they want to alert the enemy and then lure someone out, and that target is naturally you, Kudo!"

Hush

Upon hearing this, Conan quickly gestured for Hattori Heiji to be quiet and whispered, "Keep your voice down, don't let Seimei hear you."

It's okay~

Hattori Heiji glanced at Suzuki Haruaki, who was playing a game, and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "That brat is playing a game right now, he doesn't have time to pay attention to us."

The sofa where Suzuki Seimei was sitting was at least five meters away from Conan and the others, and the sound of his game was turned up very loud.

Heiji Hattori didn't think his hearing was good enough to hear their conversation in such a noisy environment.

However, just to be on the safe side, Hattori Heiji still lowered his voice.

Listening to Conan and the others whispering amongst themselves, Suzuki Seimei chuckled to himself.

The person who stole Kogoro Mouri's case files was indeed a member of the Black Organization, but she was also Conan's godmother.

Only Vermouth would deliberately do something so superfluous in order to protect Conan.

Vermouth sent the documents back to the Metropolitan Police Department intact to remind Inspector Megure and his colleagues that there were significant loopholes in the police's document management system.

Since Vermouth was able to so easily steal Kogoro Mouri's case files from the Metropolitan Police Department, other members of the Black Organization could naturally obtain these files just as easily.

Furthermore, Vermouth also wanted to use this opportunity to remind Conan that he had been noticed by the Black Organization, and that he should remember to be more discreet when solving cases.

Although Conan always tells himself that if the Black Organization discovers that Shinichi Kudo is still alive, Ran Mouri and the others will be in danger, his reckless spirit burns brightly every time a case occurs, and he can't control his urge to solve the case.

Because Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo are fellow students, she is well aware of her godson's penchant for reckless behavior.

However, Vermouth didn't have a good solution for Shinichi Kudo; she could only spoil her godson herself.

Hattori Heiji whispered, "Kudo, since you specifically asked me to come and help, it must mean you've already discovered some clues, or you're preparing to retaliate, right?"

"That's right! I do have someone I suspect."

Conan nodded slightly and said, "Heiji, do you remember? I told you before that I fought with those guys at the Beika Hotel. Besides Pisco, who has already been killed, there should have been another member of the Black Organization in the hotel at the time."

Who is it?

"If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Chris Vineyard, the famous and beautiful American actress."

Conan pushed up his glasses with his fingers, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and said, "Not long ago, Ran's class had a new English teacher. She's not only a beautiful foreign woman with short blonde hair, but she's also very skilled with guns."

"If that's the case, this woman is indeed a bit suspicious. Let's go and meet her together."

"Heiji-nii, who are you going to see?"

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Just as Hattori Heiji finished speaking, a curious voice suddenly rang out, startling Conan and Hattori Heiji.
