Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Looking at Mount Fuji covered in snow and ice, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but exclaim, "This scenery is truly beautiful!"

Mio Tokiwa smiled slightly and said, "You can see Mount Fuji from here at night too~"

"Can you see Mount Fuji at night?"

"What does this mean?"

Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Tokiwa Mio revealed a mysterious smile and said, "You'll understand what this means when the opening ceremony takes place."

"You can see Mount Fuji through this window, but what can you see through that window?"

"Let's go check it out quickly!"

After admiring the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji, Genta and his friends couldn't resist their curiosity and ran to the floor-to-ceiling window across the street to take a look.

Looking through another glass window, you can see the roof of the skyscraper B across the street, which has a roof that looks like a giant egg.

Seeing this, the three little ones asked with puzzled expressions, "What are those things?"

"Building B next door is a commercial building, and its egg-shaped roof can also be opened."

Tokiwa Mio led Kogoro Mouri and the others to the floor-to-ceiling window and began to introduce the skyscrapers across the street.

The tipsy Oki Iwamatsu suddenly pushed past Kogoro Mouri and walked up to Tokiwa Mio, asking, "By the way! Mio, can I stay at that hotel this weekend?"

Upon hearing this, Tokiwa Mio looked troubled and said, "But... it hasn't opened yet!"

"So you mean it won't work!"

Oki Iwamatsu's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant after being rejected by Tokiwa Mio.

c(`_`)ノ

Seeing this, Tokiwa Mio's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, and she bowed slightly, saying, "I will have someone prepare a suite on the 67th floor for you."

In fact, Tokiwa Mio could have refused Oki Iwamatsu's unreasonable request, but she knew very well the principle that "having more friends means having more options," and Oki Iwamatsu had indeed helped a lot in building the twin skyscrapers, so there was no need to offend him over such a small matter.

Seeing that Tokiwa Mio had agreed, Oki Iwatsu couldn't help but press his advantage and said, "If it's alright, I'd also like to have dinner with you."

(-"-anger)

Upon hearing this, Tokiwa Mio frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "What a toad trying to eat swan meat!"

A wealthy woman like Tokiwa Mio, who runs the Tokiwa Group and is also a great beauty, is nothing short of a walking gold mine in the eyes of those sleazy men.

If he could truly win over Mio Tokiwa's heart, he could save at least thirty years of hard work. Therefore, there were so many men who coveted her that they could line up from Tokyo to Osaka, and Iwamatsu Oki was no exception.

Oki Iwatsu helped the Tokiwa Group run around to facilitate the construction of the twin skyscrapers for two reasons: firstly, to achieve political success, and secondly, to win Tokiwa Mio's favor.

However, in Tokiwa Mio's eyes, Oki Iwatsu was at best just a tool.

Although Oki Iwamatsu is a councilor in Nishitama City, he is not a big shot compared to a behemoth like the Tokiwa Group.

After staring at Mount Fuji in the distance for a while, Kisaragi Minami's expression suddenly turned grim. She turned to Tokiwa Mio and called out, "Mio, I'm not feeling well. I have to go back now!"

"Congressman Oki, I need to see my teacher downstairs, so please excuse me."

As soon as Tokiwa Mio finished speaking, she didn't give Oki Iwamatsu a chance to stop her and went straight to Kisaragi Mine's side to accompany him down the elevator.

Watching Kisaragi's retreating figure, looking annoyed, Kogoro Mori asked with a puzzled expression, "Why does Kisaragi-san look so unhappy?"

Kazama Hidehiko shrugged and said, "Miss Mio went around buying up Kisaragi-sensei's paintings, and after some hype,..."

It's understandable that he's a little unhappy about selling it at a high price.

"So that's how it is!" Hou Zhangsi

Since the opening ceremony of the Twin Towers skyscrapers wouldn't start until next Saturday, Kogoro Mouri and his group didn't linger.

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch at the warm hospitality of Tokiwa Mio, Suzuki Seimei and his companions returned to Tokyo in their van.

What puzzled Suzuki Seimei was that although he had received the "Lifespan" reward from Tokiwa Mio and Oki Iwamatsu, nothing serious happened until they left.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan both went out at the same time, but they didn't trigger any incidents. This is not Conan's style at all!

However, Suzuki Seimei didn't dwell on the matter too much. Since he had already received the sign-in reward, whether or not a murder occurred was no longer that important.

……

Nightfall

A black Porsche 356a slowly pulled up in front of an apartment building, and two figures in black got out of the car.

Based on the information gathered by Vodka, the two quickly located the apartment that Miyano Akemi had secretly rented before her death.

At Gin's signal, Vodka quickly pulled out the key he had gotten from the apartment manager and opened the door to the apartment.

"Boss, there's no one else in the room."

Vodka first took a pistol and a flashlight and looked around the apartment warily before turning on the lights in the room.

Gin walked to the table, extended his right hand, which was wearing a black glove, and gently touched the table.

Looking at the dust on his gloves, Gin's eyes flashed with disappointment as he said, "It seems no one has been here for several months."

If Sherry has been hiding in this apartment since she escaped from the organization, that would be perfect.

Unfortunately, Sherry was more cunning than Gin had imagined. She had never ventured into the apartment. But the more cunning the prey, the more interesting the hunt.

"Vodka, search this place thoroughly. That woman might have left something behind."

"yes, Sir."

Ever since Miyano Akemi nearly detonated a bomb and killed Gin and Vodka before she "died," they have dared not underestimate her again.

Therefore, Gin suspects that Akemi Miyano rented this apartment "before her death" for some special purpose.

Vodka searched every corner of the apartment, but found no useful clues.

"Dududu..."

Just as Gin and his companions were about to give up, the landline phone in the room suddenly rang, instantly drawing their attention.

"Hello! This is Miyano. I'm not home right now. Please leave your name and a message after the beep."

Chapter 487 The Evil-Repelling Legion

"Sister, it's me."

Upon hearing that somewhat familiar voice coming from the phone, Gin and Vodka exchanged a glance and couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile.

"Next Saturday, I'm going to the opening ceremony of the Twin Towers skyscraper. The view there is beautiful, and I really hope you can come with me. Goodnight!"

Before Gin and the others could even take out their laptops to track it down, Ai Haibara hung up the phone and deleted the voicemail.

Vodka said with a serious expression, "Boss, the message has been deleted. Could that woman have known we were here?"

"No! That woman deleted the message just to prevent us from hearing it, but she never imagined that we were eavesdropping right next to the phone."

Gin walked over to the sofa, sat down, crossed his legs, lit a cigarette, and sneered with an extremely good mood, "Next Saturday, the opening ceremony of the Twin Towers skyscrapers. Finally caught you red-handed, Sherry~"

Ai Haibara, far away at the Suzuki Manor, had no idea how much trouble her phone call would bring her.

After hanging up the phone, Ai Haibara put her supple body into a strange position and fell into a deep sleep while practicing the Yi Jin Jing.

……

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Please don't ask why the opening ceremony of the Twin Towers skyscrapers hasn't been held even though more than half a month has passed.

The answer is Ke Xue!

In the past two weeks, two things have happened that deserve Suzuki Seimei's attention.

The first thing was the successful establishment of the "Evil-Repelling" Legion. The first batch of one hundred human-woman followers recruited by Pu Siqinglan had already mastered the basics of the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

It's important to know that the biggest advantage of the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual" is that it can be mastered quickly. Therefore, without using firearms, the strength of those transvestite underlings was already enough to overwhelm Xia Lin and her group.

Although Xia Lin and her friends started practicing martial arts more than a month earlier than those transvestite underlings, their martial arts skills couldn't be mastered as quickly as those in the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual."

If we really have to compare, Xia Lin and her group's close combat abilities are roughly equivalent to those of a third-rate expert like Mao Shiba.

These human-demon underlings who have cultivated the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual" are strong enough to rival second-rate masters like Hai Dafu, and their strength is rapidly increasing.

Once these transvestite underlings have cultivated for another month or so, their strength will be comparable to that of a master like the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. At that time, their rate of strength improvement will gradually stabilize.

Besides the successful establishment of the "Exorcising Evil" Legion, the second thing also happened on Hong Kong Island.

That is, "God of Gamblers" Ko Chun regained his memory, defeated "Demon of Gamblers" Chan Kam-shing at the gambling table, and sent him to prison.

Because Pu Siqinglan not only promptly sent people to rescue Gao Jin's wife, but also had Xiao Fu secretly protect the amnesiac Gao Jin, Gao Jin was extremely grateful after regaining his memory and readily accepted her invitation to officially join the "Death" organization.

To ensure Gao Jin's safety, Pu Siqinglan specially arranged a bodyguard for him.

At first, Gao Jin intended to politely decline Pu Siqinglan's offer, but after learning the bodyguard's identity, he smiled and agreed.

That's right!

The bodyguard that Pu Siqinglan gave to Gao Jin was Gao Yi, who had been forcibly slaughtered and had cultivated the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

Although Gao Yi is an ungrateful wretch, Pu Siqinglan has already sent people to forcibly feed him the [Three Corpse Brain God Pill] and the [Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill].

A despicable person like Gao Yi, who is greedy and lustful, would never have the courage to commit suicide.

Therefore, in order to save his own life, even if Gao Yi was unwilling, he had no choice but to unconditionally obey Pu Siqinglan's orders.

Gao Yi was originally Gao Jin's driver. If he hadn't brought this upon himself, he wouldn't be in this predicament now. Therefore, Gao Jin was quite satisfied with Pu Siqinglan's arrangements.

When Gao Jin's wife learned that Gao Yi had become a eunuch, she couldn't be bothered to argue with him about the past anymore.

After all, Gao Yi was Gao Jin's only blood relative, and Gao Jin's wife hadn't really been harmed, so she didn't want to force Gao Jin to kill her cousin.

……

Night slowly fell

Suzuki Estate, second-floor bedroom.

"Zizzizi..."

With the cooldown of the [Time Gate] over, Suzuki Seimei reopened the time portal.
