Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Faced with Suzuki Seimei's gossipy gaze, Conan didn't beat around the bush and told him in detail about the stupid things Kogoro Mouri had done in the past two days.

Ever since Kogoro Mouri accepted that request a couple of days ago, he has become quite smug.

Before even completing the commission, Kogoro Mouri had already spent over three million yen on eating, drinking, and having fun.

In an attempt to recoup the more than three million yen he had spent, the shrewd Kogoro Mouri borrowed another five million yen from an acquaintance and bet it all on horse racing, only to lose it all, as expected.

Most importantly, the requests that Kogoro Mouri had previously accepted were not going smoothly at all.

If he can't complete that commission and get the ten million yen commission, then Kogoro Mori will be in big trouble.

╮╰╭

After hearing Conan's words, Suzuki Seimei was speechless.

No wonder Eri Kisaki separated from Kogoro Mouri.

Given that she had such an unreliable husband, Eri Kisaki was already being very lenient by not divorcing him immediately.

Eight million yen is no small sum; it's equivalent to over 400,000 RMB.

In just two days, Kogoro Mouri has squandered so much money. He's such a spendthrift!

"Ding-dong"

Hearing the doorbell ring, Ran Mouri hurriedly ran over, opened the door, and said, "Mom, you're finally here."

"Where is that damned bastard?!"

"Mom, please don't be angry."

Seeing Eri Kisaki's furious expression, Ran Mouri could only offer an awkward, apologetic smile.

no way

Kogoro Mouri suddenly found himself in debt of over eight million yen. Ran Mouri, still a high school student, had no way to solve the problem and could only tell Eri Kisaki about it, asking her to come and help clean up the mess.

Actually, Ran Mouri isn't truly without options. If she were willing to ask for help, either Sonoko or Seimei Suzuki could easily solve her problem.

For ordinary people, eight million yen is indeed a considerable sum, but for Suzuki Seimei and Sonoko, it was just pocket money.

However, Ran Mouri was embarrassed because of the trouble Kogoro Mouri had caused, so she went to Sonoko and Seimei Suzuki to borrow money.

Moreover, things haven't gotten to the worst point yet. Eri Kisaki has been a lawyer all these years for a reason; she already has over 100 million yen in savings, so cleaning up Kogoro Mouri's mess is a piece of cake for her.

Hello, Aunt Eri.

Just as Eri Kisaki was venting her anger, Seimei Suzuki suddenly walked up to her and greeted her in a childish voice.

Upon seeing Suzuki Seimei, Eri's anger vanished instantly, replaced by a gentle expression as she said, "Seimei, you're here too?"

"Yes, I'm here to play with Conan."

"so nice"

Eri Kisaki smiled and patted Seimei Suzuki's head before turning her gaze to Kogoro Mouri.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's drunken, helpless, and pitiful state, Eri Kisaki's anger dissipated considerably.

Eri Kisaki strode over to the sofa, her long legs carrying her. Listening to Kogoro Mouri's murmurs, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she said in a very gentle tone, "Okay, I'm here to help you. Get up quickly, darling."

"I can't take it anymore, I'm really full."

Perhaps because Eri Kisaki's tone was too gentle, Kogoro Mouri suddenly started acting out of line: "I really can't eat anymore, Yoko."

╬￣ dishes￣

Eri Kisaki's smile froze instantly, and the veins on her forehead bulged, forming a "well" shape.

There's a murderous aura about him!

Sensing the killing intent emanating from Eri Kisaki, Seimei Suzuki silently took a few steps back to the side, to avoid getting splattered with blood later.

"What's going on?"

If it weren't for Ran Mouri calling to say that Kogoro Mouri kept muttering "Eri, come save me," Eri Kisaki wouldn't have come over to clean up his mess.

"Uh"

Faced with Eri Kisaki's unfriendly gaze, Ran Mouri said awkwardly, "I...I don't know either, but the name Dad was calling out just now was really Mom's name!"

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri was about to be stabbed to death, Conan hurriedly pointed to the TV and explained, "I think it's because Yoko's cooking show was on right then and there. Uncle Mouri must have been influenced by the TV program."

"is it?"

Eri glanced at the TV and saw that the video playing was indeed Yoko Okino's cooking video. Only then did the anger on her face subside a little.

Seeing this, Suzuki Haruaki raised his little hand to testify, "I can also testify. Just now, Uncle Mori kept muttering Aunt Eri's name and saying things like, 'Come and save me!'"

Hearing Suzuki Seimei say this, Eri Kisaki's anger dissipated by most.

Ran Mouri said somewhat awkwardly, "Mom, you didn't go back in a huff, did you?"

I finally managed to persuade my mom to help, and then my dad pulled this stunt. Isn't this just setting me up for failure?

"I would never do something so immature!"

Eri Kisaki first gave a disgruntled snort, then leaned close to Ran Mouri and said, "Please! Don't misunderstand me. I came here specifically to help you, not for that stupid drunkard!"

"Well, I see."

Ran Mouri dared not talk back to Eri Kisaki at this moment, and could only obediently nod repeatedly.

"I really can't eat anymore."

"Humph!"

Hearing Kogoro Mouri's mutterings, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but snort coldly, then turned to Ran Mouri and said, "Never mind this drunkard for now, take me to the client's house!"

"it is good."

Since Eri had driven there, she took Suzuki Haruaki and the other two directly to the client's house.

After learning from Ran Mouri that the client was Fujieda Mikio's wife, Eri Kisaki suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "So the person targeted for murder this time is that Fujieda Mikio!"

Hearing Eri say that, Ran Mouri couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mom, do you know him?"

"Yes! I've heard rumors about him. It's said that he did a lot of bad things when he was young."

While driving, Eri Kisaki said without turning her head, "Later, he seemed to have a knack for winning the heart of a wealthy young lady and getting her to agree to marry into the Fujieda family, which is how he became the head of the Fujieda family."

However, after becoming the head of the Fujieda family, he didn't seem to restrain himself much. He continued to use the Fujieda family's money to engage in illegal businesses behind the scenes, proving himself to be a despicable and heartless rich man.

As a top elite in the legal profession, Eri Kisaki is very well-informed and knows a lot about the dirty tricks that wealthy people do behind the scenes.

After all, Eri Kisaki's legal fees are very high, and her main clients are wealthy people, so she naturally knows many secrets that ordinary people don't.

"Mom, is that young lady the client?"

"No! Because I heard that his wife passed away from illness six months ago, so he must have remarried."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri exclaimed in disbelief, "No way! His wife only passed away six months ago, and he's already remarried?"

ε′ο｀ Sigh

Eri Kisaki shook her head helplessly. Having an unreliable husband—that's just how tragic it is.

The client lived quite far from the Mouri Detective Agency, and by the time Suzuki Haruaki and the others arrived at Fujieda's house, the sun was almost setting.

"Hello, I am Ueki Sohachi, the butler of the Fujieda family. You must be Ms. Kisaki Eri, who is here in place of Mr. Mori Kogoro?"

As soon as Suzuki Seimei and his group arrived at the main gate, an elderly butler with a full head of gray hair and wearing a tailcoat greeted them with a smile.

"Yes."

"Please follow me, everyone!"

After saying this, Ueki Kusanagi gestured to Eri Kisaki, inviting the four of them into the courtyard.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Plant Grass. You are rewarded with 1 point of stamina. You can claim it at any time."

As Suzuki Seimei passed by Ueki Kusahachi, he casually touched his thigh and successfully received the sign-in reward.

Looking at the neatly trimmed flowerbeds and lawn, Ran Mouri couldn't help but exclaim, "This yard looks so beautiful!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Ueki Kusahachi smiled and nodded, saying, "Because my late wife was very interested in gardening, I used to work with her and that gardener to maintain the garden."

Looking in the direction of the eight fingers of the plant, Suzuki Seimei and the others also saw a gardener squatting beside the flower bed, pruning the flower bed not far away.

He was a middle-aged man who was wearing a woolen hat and a leather jacket, and was somewhat short and stout.

Upon seeing this, Ran Mouri exclaimed to the gardener, "This garden is so beautiful!"

Upon hearing Ran Mouri's words, the gardener subconsciously turned his head to look over, but quickly turned back silently and continued pruning the flowerbed in front of him.

With an apologetic expression, Zhimu Caoba said, "Please don't mind, he has become taciturn since his wife passed away."

"I think he must have really loved my sister who has passed away!"

A somewhat weathered voice suddenly rang out, and a middle-aged man with a rugged appearance, dressed in a brown suit, walked towards Suzuki Harumi and the others.

Upon seeing the visitor, Ueki Kusahachi quickly introduced him: "This is the younger brother of my late wife, Fujieda Shigeru."

Fujieda Shigeru asked with some curiosity, "Butler Ueki, who are these two beautiful women and two adorable children?"

"They are Mr. Mori's agents."

"It shouldn't be considered an agency."

Before Ran Mouri could finish speaking, Eri Kisaki suddenly stepped forward and said, "I am Eri Kisaki, the consultant lawyer of the Mouri Detective Agency. Nice to meet you! Detective Mouri has asked me to come here to inquire about more detailed case information."

"So that's how it is."

Fujishige nodded knowingly, then said to Ueki Kusahachi, "Butler Ueki, there's something I want to tell you."
