Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Conan was speechless when he heard this.

Sonoko, you really need to be more careful!

"By the way, Conan, what are you doing here? And I think I just saw Ran-neechan..." Suzuki Haruaki's words trailed off, a hint of disdain in his eyes as he looked at Conan. "You weren't following Ran-neechan, were you?"

Conan waved his hand and said, "No, that's not it! I just heard that Ran-neechan is going on a date with Shinichi-nii, and I'm a little curious about him~"

"Ran is going on a date with Shinichi?" Suzuki Seimei was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and his eyes turned somewhat strange.

So you were worried about being cheated on!

?

Suzuki Seimei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a somewhat malicious smile, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've seen Shinichi-nii. I thought he'd been beaten up and hospitalized."

"..."

Conan's eye twitched, and he mentally cursed, "You brat, all I did was bully you a few times, is it necessary to curse me like this?"

"Conan, I'm not making this up. Shinichi is very curious and likes to go to dangerous places. Even if he really gets ambushed by those criminals, it's perfectly normal~"

(╬￣Dish￣)

Conan's forehead veins bulged, and he subconsciously wanted to say something in his defense, but the words wouldn't come out.

Because Suzuki Seimei was right, he was not only knocked unconscious by Gin, but also poisoned, turning himself into an elementary school student.

That's really heartbreaking!

"Actually, I've always felt that Shinichi isn't good enough for Ran. A high school detective like him who likes to risk his life might just die at the hands of a criminal one day. Wouldn't that leave Ran to live a life of widowhood?"

Seeing Conan's speechless expression, Suzuki Seimei added insult to injury, "Even if Ran suddenly dumps Shinichi and goes on dates with other boys, I think that's perfectly normal. Don't you agree, Conan?"

As the saying goes, "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. A petty person takes revenge from morning till night."

Suzuki Haruaki is currently just an elementary school student, and can be considered a "small person" in a nutshell.

It's so exciting to talk bad about Shinichi Kudo in front of Conan!

Puff puff……

Conan was so angry that his face turned red, and he felt like his heart was being pierced, but he couldn't refute Suzuki Seimei.

Furthermore, considering what Suzuki Seimei just said, Conan felt even greener on the head. Could it be that Ran is really going to dump him?

As the saying goes, "concern leads to confusion."

Although Conan has outstanding reasoning abilities, they are usually not very effective when facing Ran Mouri; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily flustered by a few words from Seimei Suzuki.

"I want coffee! Didn't you hear me? Bring me my coffee right now!"

A sudden commotion drew the attention of both Suzuki Haruaki and Conan.

"what?"

When Suzuki Haruaki's gaze fell on the woman wearing sunglasses, his expression changed slightly.

The woman in sunglasses who had just entered the coffee shop had the words "Check-in Available" floating above her head.

Originally, Suzuki Seimei was just there to stake out the place in advance to prevent Suzuki Sonoko from being deceived by a scumbag. But now that he has seen this scene, and with Conan, the elementary school psychic, personally showing up, how could he not guess that a case was about to occur here?

"Yes Yes."

The female employee at the coffee shop was startled by the woman in sunglasses' rude attitude and hurriedly went to prepare coffee.

Seeing this, Conan thought to himself, "This older sister's attitude is really awful. She probably isn't the person Ran is waiting for, is she?"

jingle!

The bell at the coffee shop door rang again, and an unremarkable-looking man in a blue suit walked in, carrying a few books.

"Welcome! Are you the only customer?" A beautiful female shop assistant with long, flowing hair greeted her immediately.

"Miss, I have a paper that I absolutely must finish writing today. Could you please give me a quiet place? Thank you."

"Okay, please have a seat here."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful shop assistant led the man into the coffee shop and had him sit down in a seat near the corner.

"A college student? It shouldn't be him. Who would write a paper on a date? Besides, this guy isn't as handsome as me," Conan thought to himself.

Chapter Fifty: The Lawyer Queen Makes Her Debut

jingle!

The doorbell rang again, and a tall, aloof beauty in a women's business suit and a bun hairstyle walked in, carrying a briefcase.

"What a beauty!" Conan's eyes lit up.

"Mom, over here!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ran Mouri immediately raised her arm to greet them.

Upon seeing this, Suzuki Seimei muttered to himself, "So Ran-neechan came to see Aunt Eri. But speaking of which, Aunt Eri has changed quite a bit; I almost didn't recognize her."

Because Sonoko and Ran are best friends, Suzuki Seimei naturally knows Eri Kisaki as well.

However, Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri have been separated for many years, and her temperament has also changed a lot, so it is difficult to recognize her at first glance.

"No wonder Ran lied to me; she was afraid Uncle would find out." Conan breathed a sigh of relief; it was so good that he hadn't been cheated on.

jingle!

"Hi, boss!"

The doorbell rang, and a burly man wearing a woolen hat pushed open the door and walked in. He greeted the coffee shop owner with a smile and sat down at the counter.

"It's Mr. Tonoyama~" Upon seeing the newcomer, the coffee shop owner instinctively asked, noticing the bandaged ring finger, "What happened to your finger?"

"It's nothing, I just accidentally hurt my finger while practicing rugby, it'll be fine in a few days."

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Let's stick to the old rules."

While the burly man in the hat was chatting with the coffee shop owner, Suzuki Haruaki's expression turned somewhat serious.

Above the burly man's head, the words "Check-in Available" were also displayed in large characters.

"Conan, please sit here for a moment. I'm going to the restroom." Suzuki Haruaki put down the spoon in his hand, got up, and walked towards the restroom.

On his way to the restroom, Suzuki Haruaki deliberately walked past the woman in sunglasses and the burly man in a hat, and secretly touched them.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Himeno Yayoi. You are rewarded with two years of [Lifespan]. You can claim it at any time."

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

Based on Suzuki Seimei's past experience with signing in, things like "lifespan" usually come from the victims.

Therefore, the woman wearing sunglasses named Himeno Yayoi is very likely the victim in this case, while the burly man in the hat named Tonoyama Juzo is most likely the perpetrator.

Next, as long as Suzuki Seimei keeps an eye on Tonoyama Juzo and prevents him from having the opportunity to kill someone, he can stop another tragedy from happening.

"Huh? Seimei!" Suzuki Seimei, who had just come out of the restroom, was noticed by Mouri Ran before he could return to his seat.

??ε??

When Eri saw Suzuki Seimei's adorable little face, she couldn't help but hug him tightly and asked with a smile, "Seimei, it's been so long! Do you still remember me?"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in with Eri Kisaki. You are rewarded with a copy of 'Word Spirit Technique'. You can claim it at any time."

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Eri, Suzuki Seimei nestled closer to her, his voice soft and sweet as he said, "Auntie Eri, Seimei missed you so much~"

"You little rascal, you're still as clingy as ever!"

Hearing Suzuki Harumi's familiar, coquettish voice, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but kiss his cheek.

Eri Kisaki is a person who is gentle on the inside but strong on the outside. In addition, she is a lawyer, so she usually gives people a very serious feeling.

Neither Shinichi Kudo nor Sonoko Suzuki dared to be naughty in front of her, except for Seimei Suzuki, who was an exception.

Suzuki Seimei has been very attached to Eri Kisaki since childhood, completely disregarding her aloof demeanor, which makes it impossible for Eri Kisaki to maintain a serious attitude in front of him.

Then I guess I'll just have to spoil them~

Of course, it wasn't just Eri Kisaki; Seimei Suzuki also used to like sticking close to Yukiko Kudo. Basically, he could get along well with any pretty older sister.

(〃＞ dishes＜)

Looking at Suzuki Haruaki, who was chatting and laughing with Eri and the others, Conan, whom he had completely forgotten, was filled with resentment.

Because Shinichi Kudo and Ran are childhood friends, whenever he gets into trouble with Ran, he inevitably gets a beating from Eri Kisaki.

In Conan's mind, Eri Kisaki was definitely the epitome of a tigress, and coupled with the natural dominance a mother-in-law has over her son-in-law, he dared not get too close to her.

"Seimei, why are you here all alone?" Ran Mouri asked, somewhat puzzled.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Suzuki Haruaki sighed helplessly, "I heard Sonoko-neechan is coming here for a date today, and I'm worried she might get scammed, so I came to check on her for her sake~"

"Small in stature but big in talent~" Eri Kisaki couldn't help but chuckle.

Ran Mouri couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sonoko is coming here for a date. Who is she going on a date with?"

"I don't know who it is either. I only heard Sonoko-nee say that his name is Wakaoji or something. I just secretly looked around, but I haven't found a suitable target yet."

jingle!

As soon as Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, the doorbell rang again, and a handsome man with shoulder-length hair and an expensive suit walked in.
