Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Ultimately finding nothing, the group, at Haruka's suggestion, drove to several places where Yasumi Shirafuji was most likely to go, in search of her.

While everyone was driving towards the mountaintop, Haruka Tendo deliberately made an excuse to have Reiji Fukuura, who was driving, open the sunroof and fling the body hidden on the roof out.

As Tendo Haruka had predicted, when the group drove back from the mountaintop, they soon discovered Shirafuji Yasumi's body.

Drip drip drip drip

The police officers who received the call quickly arrived at the scene and, based on the clues deliberately created by Haruka Tendo, suspected Reiji Fukuura, who used to be a street racer.

Just when Haruka thought she could pin the crime on Reiji Fukuura, Conan suddenly jumped out.

After a series of brilliant deductions, the real murderer, Haruka Tendo, was finally exposed.

Faced with the overwhelming evidence presented by Conan, Haruka Tendo could only kneel down, weeping and confessing her motive for murder, before being arrested by the police.

Because Haruka Tendo committed intentional homicide, she was sentenced to twenty years in prison by the judge.

When Qinghua finally survived twenty years and was released from prison, she found that everything had changed.

After serving twenty years in prison, Tiantang Qinghua has transformed from a vibrant and beautiful college student into a middle-aged woman with a weathered face.

When Haruka returned to her hometown and saw her parents, whose hair had turned white and whose faces were full of wrinkles, she finally couldn't help but break down and cry.

If I hadn't been so vain back then, insisting on putting on a show of wealth and pretending to be a rich girl, I wouldn't be where I am now.

If he had discovered that he had been deceived by Shirafuji Yasumi and the others, and instead of impulsively killing them, he had made them return the money, he wouldn't have caused such a big problem.

Having spent twenty years in prison, Tiantang Qinghua had long regretted her past actions.

That's life. Many hurdles that you thought you couldn't overcome back then are actually just trivial matters when you look back.

Unfortunately, there's no going back in life. If she could do it all over again, Haruka Tendo would definitely not do anything she'd regret.

"Sister Qinghua, Sister Qinghua"

Just as Tiantang Qinghua was filled with regret, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears, causing her body to gradually become ethereal.

"huhuhuhu"

Awakening from her dream, Qinghua suddenly opened her eyes, her face filled with lingering anxiety, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and she subconsciously gasped for breath.

Seeing Haruka's pale face, Suzuki Seimei asked with feigned curiosity, "Haruka-neechan, are you alright?"

""

Haruka blinked in confusion, looked around, and finally fixed her gaze on Seimei Suzuki, her eyes gradually regaining their clarity.

"That's great! That's really great!"

Coming to her senses, Haruka Tendo couldn't help but hug Seimei Suzuki tightly, crying tears of joy, "It was just a dream, a dream!"

"It's alright, it's alright."

Feeling the slight trembling of Haruka's delicate body, Seimei Suzuki's eyes flashed with pity, and he reached out to pat her back.

The reason why Haruka had such nightmares was because Seimei Suzuki secretly used a dream demon technique.

As Suzuki Seimei experienced more and more alternate worlds, he became more mature and his methods of doing things became more comprehensive.

In the past, if it were in the past, Suzuki Seimei would have felt that Fukuura Reiji and Shirafuji Yasumi did not deserve to die, and would have directly intervened to save them and stop Tendo Haruka from taking revenge.

Because Suzuki Seimei used to believe that human life was of paramount importance, and that saving a life was more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, he was willing to give criminals a chance to reform unless they were the most heinous criminals.

However, looking back now, Suzuki Haruaki feels that his actions were somewhat unfair to the victims.

As the saying goes, "Only the person drinking the water knows whether it is hot or cold."

Perhaps in Suzuki Haruaki's eyes, some criminals' mistakes did not warrant the death penalty.

But in the eyes of the victims, the crimes committed by those criminals were heinous and deserving of death.

Give a chestnut!

For example, criminals who commit rape are only sentenced to a term of not less than three years and not more than ten years under the law.

But for the victims, even if the perpetrators of the rape were taken to a shooting range, it might not be enough to quell their hatred.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei did not intend to stop Tendo Haruka from taking revenge; he simply gave Tendo Haruka a chance to regret her decision.

The nightmare that Suzuki Seimei just wove for Tendo Haruka wasn't meant to scare her, but rather to let her experience in advance the bitter consequences of impulsive murder.

Compared to actually serving twenty years in prison, the pain that Tiantang Qinghua experienced in her dream was nothing at all; reality is far more painful than dreams.

If Haruka Tendo still feels that she needs to kill Yasumi Shirafuji and Reiji Fukuura to vent her anger after waking up from her dream, Seimei Suzuki will not stop her.

Of course!

Suzuki Seimei would not protect Tendo Haruka. Since she already understood the consequences of murder, it meant she was prepared to go to jail, so she got what she wanted.

After comforting Haruka for a while, Suzuki Seimei, feeling that her emotions were gradually stabilizing, couldn't help but ask, "Haruka-neechan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Seimei, you don't need to worry about me."

Haruka Tendo smiled as she wiped away her tears, then reached out and pinched Suzuki Seimei's cheek, saying, "Seimei, do you know what? I'm really happy right now. Luckily, I just had a nightmare, and there's still a chance for everything to change."

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night!

Haruka had no doubt that her nightmare was related to Seimei Suzuki. She simply thought that her subconscious reluctance to kill was the reason she had such a cautionary nightmare.

Having experienced those things in her dream, Haruka now realizes that the hatred between her and Yasumi Shirafuji and the others hadn't even reached the point of killing each other.

After all, no one forced Haruka Tendo to pretend to be a young lady, and she herself enjoyed the flattery from Yasumi Shirafuji and the others.

Ultimately, Haruka Tendo didn't regret pretending to be the young lady; she just couldn't accept that Shirafuji Yasumi and the others were treating her like a fool.

Chapter 570 The Prodigal Detective (Second Update, Please Vote)

Heavenly Haruka didn't spend so many years in prison in her dreams for nothing.

You know, there are a lot of talented people in prison, and they all speak very well. Tiantang Qinghua learned a lot of useful knowledge from her fellow inmates.

In fact, killing Shirafuji Yasumi and the others directly is only the most basic form of revenge. Although it may be satisfying, it is easy to hurt the enemy a thousand while hurting yourself eight hundred.

Having experienced being imprisoned in a dream, Haruka Tendo easily came up with a better means of revenge than killing Yasumi Shirafuji and the others.

Shirafuji Yasumi and the others want to take advantage of me? Then Tendo Haruka will let them take as much as they want!

After this camping trip, Haruka plans to invite Shirafuji Yasumi and the others to travel abroad, treat them to a big meal, and then get them drunk.

After Haruka Tendo gets Shirafuji Yasumi and the others drunk, she'll trick them into signing huge bills, and then they'll be stuck washing dishes abroad for the rest of their lives!

correct!

I've heard that Cambodia is famous for its kidney-cutting techniques—no, it's the scenery there that's beautiful, making it a great tourist destination!

Even Suzuki Seimei did not expect that the Dream Demon Technique could not only cause nightmares, but also temper the mind of the dreamer.

If it were the old Haruka Tendai, she definitely wouldn't have come up with such a cunning method of revenge.

Several days later

In a private room of an Italian hotel

"Sorry to keep you waiting. These are Italian ravioli made with dried scallops, served with a cauliflower sauce."

A handsome waiter in a suit served exquisite and delicious dishes to Ran and her friends.

Just listening to the handsome waiter's introduction made Ran Mouri's appetite whetted, and smelling the enticing aroma, she couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder it's a three-star hotel! Conan, you agree, right?"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Conan nodded vigorously.

Uncle Mori is being unusually generous, and Conan thinks he'll regret it if he doesn't take advantage of him tonight.

"By the way, waiter, could you please pick out another bottle of fine wine that would pair well with these dishes?"

"Okay, sir."

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, the waiter smiled and nodded, then turned to help him choose some spirits.

After the waiter left, Ran Mouri suddenly asked with some concern, "Dad, did we spend too much money tonight? Is this really okay?"

Don't worry.

As Kogoro Mouri cut his steak with a knife, he said confidently, "Because I just took on a case with a high commission and a very simple one."

"Has anyone asked me to handle a case? How come I didn't know?"

Upon hearing this, Conan immediately became interested.

"It was today, when you two went to school, that the client came to my door in person to ask me to handle the case."

Kogoro Mouri said smugly, "This time, the client is a wealthy lady. I heard that someone wants to kill her husband, and that person is probably in her house."

If I can catch the murderer, my client will pay me a commission of ten million yen.

"Ten million?!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri and Conan couldn't help but show some surprise.

"I've already received the contract and the 500,000 yen deposit, which is why I specially brought you guys out to celebrate!"

Kogoro Mouri, somewhat carried away with his pride, said, "With the famous detective Kogoro Mouri personally handling this, such cases are easily solved. You can relax and enjoy your feast!"

"Are you sure there's no problem?"

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's smug expression, Conan thought to himself, "I suddenly have a bad feeling."

Two days later, in the early morning

"Eri, please help me, Eri!"

As soon as Suzuki Seimei entered the Mouri Detective Agency, he saw Mouri Kogoro lying drunk on the sofa, muttering Eri Kisaki's name.

Seeing this, Suzuki Haruaki couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Conan, is Uncle Mori alright?"

"hehe"

Conan shrugged helplessly, shook his head, and said, "You reap what you sow."

???

Hearing Conan say that, Suzuki Seimei became even more curious.
