Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"Yes!"

Watching Officer Sato turn and leave, Officer Takagi asked innocently, "Did I do something wrong?"

ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh……..

Yumi Miyamoto sighed and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, you're just too much like him!"

Who is he?

Officer Shiratori said, "She was referring to Officer Matsuda, who had only worked in our First Investigation Division for seven days before you came to headquarters to take up your post."

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Harumi walked to the patrol car, tugged at Miyamoto Yumi's arm, and asked, "Yumi-neechan, who is this Officer Matsuda?"

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

The moment Suzuki Seimei touched Miyamoto Yumi's arm, a pleasant system notification sounded in his ear.

"Officer Matsuda's full name was Matsuda Jinpei. He died in the line of duty three years ago during a bombing. He also had black curly hair."

As Miyamoto Yumi finished speaking, she glanced at Officer Takagi, who was wearing a wig. At that moment, he really looked a lot like Matsuda Jinpei.

"..."

Faced with Yumi Miyamoto's sympathetic gaze, Officer Takagi reached out and removed his wig, falling into silence.

If Matsuda Jinpei were still alive, Officer Takagi would definitely feel extremely aggrieved to have taken a slap for him for no reason.

However, since Matsuda Jinpei had been dead for three years, Officer Takagi naturally wouldn't be angry with him anymore. Instead, he felt deep pity for Officer Sato.

Normally, Officer Sato is a strong and capable woman who is not inferior to any man. This is the first time Officer Takagi has seen her so out of control.

Officer Matsuda, who died in the line of duty, must have been very important to Officer Sato!

"Axiu! Naoki!"

"Naoki is so handsome..."

"I'm here, Ah Xiu, keep it up!"

The fans nearby suddenly erupted in excitement, drawing the attention of Ayumi and her friends.

"It looks like Ah-Xiu and Naoki's parade vehicle has arrived this way!"

"Then let's try our best to rush ahead and see what's going on. Mitsuhiko, you have to take a picture of me and A-Xiu together while you're at it!"

Seeing this, Ayumi and Genta quickly grabbed Mitsuhiko and ran towards the crowd not far away.

Unfortunately, the strength of a few children was not enough to push through the crowd of fans. In the end, it was Suzuki Haruaki who helped clear a path, allowing the five little ones to successfully squeeze to the front of the crowd.

Congratulations!

"Mitsuhiko, hurry up and take a picture for me!"

"Okay, okay, I got it. Just lean against the railing and don't move around."

Ayumi and her friends were extremely excited to be able to get up close to their favorite players. They waved their little hands and asked Mitsuhiko to take a group photo for them.

Conan, who was also somewhat excited, couldn't help but ask Ai Haibara, who had a blank expression, "By the way! I remember you're a fan of the BIG Osaka team, aren't you? Now that you see the Tokyo Souls holding a championship parade, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮

Ai Haibara snorted and said, "Victory and defeat are common in war. They will definitely lose to BIG Osaka next year."

"boom!!!"

As soon as Ai Haibara finished speaking, a terrifying explosion suddenly rang out on the deserted street dozens of meters away, and a black sedan was blown into the air.

"Ah ah ah..."

The sudden explosion startled the surrounding fans, who screamed in terror. Many ran away with their heads in their hands, screaming repeatedly.

Seeing this, Suzuki Seimei quickly reached out and hugged Haibara Ai to prevent her from being bumped by the fans who were running around.

(ΩДΩ)

Conan rubbed his slightly ringing ears, his eyes widening suddenly as he pointed to the wreckage of a black sedan in the distance, now reduced to scrap metal, and said, "That...that looks like Officer Takagi's car!"

Following Conan's finger, the five children were surprised to find that the black sedan, now a complete wreck, was the same car that Officer Takagi had just driven over.

"Officer Takagi, Officer Takagi..."

Amid the children's worried gazes, Officer Sato rushed frantically toward the black sedan. Fortunately, Yumi Miyamoto pulled her back in time; otherwise, she might have recklessly rushed into the still-burning car.

Three years ago, before he died in the line of duty, Matsuda Jinpei sent a love confession text message to Officer Sato via his mobile phone.

Officer Sato had just agreed to go on a date with Officer Takagi at the tropical underwater park next week when this happened.

If Officer Takagi also died in the explosion, Officer Sato would really go crazy, and might even suspect that he brought bad luck to them.

"Officer Sato, I'm here, I'm alright."

Just as Officer Sato was about to burst into despair and cry, Officer Takagi suddenly appeared behind her.

Upon hearing this, Officer Sato turned around in disbelief, only to see that Officer Takagi, apart from looking somewhat disheveled, showed no signs of injury whatsoever.

"You...you're not dead, that's so good..."

Upon seeing that Officer Takagi was safe and sound, Officer Sato breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

As Yumi Miyamoto helped Officer Sato up, she couldn't help but ask, "Takagi, what exactly happened? Didn't you say you were going to move the car?"

If Officer Takagi hadn't said he was going to move the car, and it just so happened to happen right when the explosion occurred, Officer Sato wouldn't have thought he was killed in the explosion.

"I just went to move my car, but I accidentally dropped my keys on the ground. Just as I bent down to pick them up, I noticed the car..."

Officer Takagi, still shaken, said, "After I discovered the bomb, I was about to report it to Inspector Megure. But as soon as I got out of the car, the bomb exploded. I was just thrown away by the shockwave."

"Oh, I see! That was really dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Yumi couldn't help but think to herself, "Officer Takagi is incredibly lucky!"

"Young Master, it's too dangerous here. Let's leave first!"

The instant the explosion occurred, Ryuichi Inoue drove his van to the side of Seimei Suzuki and the others. Tamaka Kurosaki quickly opened the car door and pulled all six children into the vehicle.

Seimei Suzuki's personal van was a specially modified bulletproof vehicle that not only had bulletproof capabilities but could also withstand the bombing of small bombs.

To prevent the possibility of other bombs nearby, Ryuichi Inoue drove the van, taking Seimei Suzuki and the others away from the streets where the championship parade was taking place.

Although Conan's reckless spirit was burning brightly and he really wanted to go to the scene to join in the fun, he was too embarrassed to let the children go on an adventure with him, so he could only stay away from the danger zone for the time being with Suzuki Haruaki and the others.

Inspector Megure and his team immediately halted the march after the explosion and organized the evacuation of fans from the surrounding area.

Fortunately, the explosion only destroyed one car. If it had exploded in a crowd, Inspector Megure would have been in real trouble.

Shortly after the police evacuated the fans, Inspector Megure received another call reporting that a phone booth near Beika Park had been bombed.

Because Beika Park is located along the route of the Tokyo Souls' parade, Inspector Megure and his team naturally suspected that the bombing was indeed carried out by some extreme fans who hated the Tokyo Souls.

What Inspector Megure and his team didn't know was that just as they began using the extreme fans who hated the Tokyo Souls as clues for their investigation, the culprits lurking in the shadows revealed their wicked smiles of triumph.

Meanwhile, after Suzuki Seimei was driven away from the explosion site by Inoue Ryuichi, he didn't stay idle. He secretly contacted Tachibana Maya telepathically and asked her to use the power of the "Net" organization to investigate the matter.

As the saying goes, "Snakes have their paths, and rats have their ways."

In terms of overall strength alone, the "Net" organization is definitely no match for official forces like the island nation's police.

However, in the search for the bomber, the "Net" organization is far more capable than the police.

Firstly, in Tokyo's underground black market, there are only a handful of yakuza groups that dare to sell weapons.

Therefore, the members of the "Net" organization only need to find out who has recently purchased explosives and weapons on the black market to easily track their whereabouts.

Haruaki Suzuki's initial intention in establishing the "Net" organization was to create a powerful underground intelligence network.

As the headquarters of the "Net" organization, Tokyo is the city where Suzuki Harumi has cultivated his influence for the longest time, so any movement here is hard to hide from his eyes and ears.

With a single command from Suzuki Seimei, the behemoth "Net" organization began to operate.

In less than an hour, they located the whereabouts of the bombers.

And they figured out their true purpose.

It turns out that the bombers wanted to use the bombing to divert the police's attention, making it easier for them to rob the post office. They even hijacked a mail truck for this purpose.

A classic case of luring the tiger away from the mountain!

After figuring out the true purpose of the criminals and their hiding place, Suzuki Haruaki had someone use a public phone to make an anonymous tip-off to Inspector Megure, telling him where the criminals were hiding.

After receiving the tip, Inspector Megure was somewhat skeptical, but he decided to take it as a precaution and led his team to the hideout of the thieves, where they were discussing precautions for robbing the post office.

Inspector Megure has once again gotten credit for nothing!

……

next morning

Ryuichi Inoue drove his van slowly into Totsuki Academy and headed towards the S-Kiri mansion.

Because of the bombing, the Tokyo Souls' championship parade was cut short, so Ayumi and the others looked sullen.

Just then, Totsuki Academy was about to hold its "Autumn Selection Tournament," and Erina Kiri invited Seimei Suzuki and Ai Haibara to come over. So he simply brought Conan and the others along as a way of making up for it.

The Autumn Selection Tournament is a major competition held annually at Totsuki Academy in early autumn. Students who perform exceptionally well are selected as participants to enter the competition.

The competition adopts an elimination format, which is divided into preliminary rounds, quarterfinals, semifinals and finals. The preliminary rounds are further divided into Group A and Group B, from which the four students with the highest scores are selected to enter the quarterfinals.

In addition, the judging criteria for the autumn selection competition are different from those in the past. The judges on weekdays are usually teachers from the school or people related to the school.

In the autumn selection competition, the judges will be composed of culinary masters and experts, and the selection criteria will naturally be higher.

If a contestant can create a work that satisfies the judges, they will gain favor, and the autumn selection competition is also an important platform for contestants to showcase their potential for future success.

The members of each of the Elite Ten have been selected from those who entered the Autumn Selection Tournament, so the Autumn Selection Tournament has an extraordinary significance for the students of Totsuki Academy.

Ever since Suzuki Seimei took the five kids to Totsuki Academy for a whole day of eating, drinking, and having fun, Genta and the others have been craving the delicious food there.

Therefore, when Suzuki Seimei invited them to visit Totsuki Academy again, Genta and the others instantly forgot their unhappiness from yesterday and began to look forward to this trip to Totsuki.

"Erina-neechan, Seimei misses you so much~"
