Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"Attorney Fei, I'll excuse myself for a moment."

After saying this, Zhimucao left with Fujige Shige.

After Ueki Kusahachi and the others left, Ran Mouri couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Mom, why didn't you introduce yourself as Mouri's wife?"

“Speaking out about such things will only make people look down on you.”

Eri Kisaki would never admit that she was still angry because of that idiot Kogoro Mouri!

Hearing Eri say that, Ran Mouri felt something was off, but she didn't say anything more.

Although the butler Ueki left with Fujieda Shigeru, the Fujieda family still had many maids. Under their guidance, Suzuki Seimei and the others soon met Fujieda Mikio.

Fujieda Mikio was a pot-bellied middle-aged man with a watermelon-shaped haircut and a cunning look between his brows, giving him the appearance of a shrewd businessman.

"So you're the agent for that idiot detective!"

Upon learning that Eri Kisaki was Kogoro Mouri's lawyer, Mikio Fujieda couldn't help but scoff, "There's no need to even think about it. It's obviously a prank by one of my maids. To charge ten million yen to investigate such a trivial matter is a joke!"

?

Faced with Fujieda Mikio's sarcastic remarks, Eri and the others were speechless.

Is ten million a lot?

Seeing this, Suzuki Haruaki suddenly stepped forward and said, "For a rich person like you, ten million might just be the price of a meal. Using it to help you investigate cases that threaten your life should be considered a very good deal!"

"You're bringing children along when you're handling cases? That's incredibly unprofessional."

Upon seeing Suzuki Seimei, this brat, who dared to lecture him so recklessly, Fujieda Mikio instinctively wanted to kick him out.

However, when Fujieda Mikio saw Suzuki Seimei's face clearly, he swallowed back the words he was about to say and instead put on a fawning smile, saying, "Young Master Suzuki, what brings you here?"

Have we met before?

“Young Master Suzuki, you may not have met me before, but I saw you from afar at a banquet hosted by the Shinomiya Group.”

When facing people weaker than himself, Fujieda Mikio would act superior, while when facing people stronger than himself, he would act extremely obsequious.

If it weren't for Fujieda Mikio's ability to read people and manipulate them, someone like him who made his fortune through illegal business would have been killed by those who disapproved of him long ago.

Although Suzuki Haruaki is just a child, he is the future heir of the Suzuki Group.

If Fujieda Mikio angers Suzuki Seimei, all he has to do is go back and complain to Suzuki Shiro, and Fujieda Mikio will probably wake up in prison tomorrow.

Even legitimate companies would go bankrupt in a minute if they were suppressed by the Suzuki Group, not to mention the businesses that Mikio Fujieda was doing, which were already on the fringes of the law.

"Oh, I see!"

Suzuki Seimei nodded casually, then took Ran Mouri's hand and said, "This is Ran-neechan. She's Uncle Mouri's daughter and my sister's best friend. Even my father once entrusted Uncle Mouri with a case, so it's not a bad deal for you to spend ten million yen to have him handle your case!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I misspoke just now."

Upon hearing this, Fujieda Mikio quickly slapped his mouth lightly with his palm and said with an apologetic smile, "I've just been threatened for several days in a row, and I'm in a very irritable mood. I just spoke without thinking."

I've heard of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, and I'm confident he can help me find the culprit.

'

Seeing Fujieda Mikio's arrogant yet obsequious demeanor, Eri and the others' lips twitched.

However, after recognizing Suzuki Haruaki, Fujieda Mikio was able to retract his previous statement without changing his expression and instantly adopt a humble and submissive demeanor, which shows that he is indeed a remarkable person.

Regardless of Fujieda Mikio's character, his ability to adapt to changing circumstances alone is enough to make him thrive in the world.

It's no wonder that despite having a young master like Fujieda Shigeru, the Fujieda family's entire fortune ended up in the hands of their son-in-law, Fujieda Mikio.

"I'm really sorry, Gan Xiong hasn't been in a good mood these past few days and he's been a bit harsh with his words. Please don't take it to heart."

A pleasant voice suddenly rang out, followed by a beautiful woman in a blue dress with black hair who looked to be in her early twenties, walking down from the second floor in high heels.

Seeing this, Eri asked with some curiosity, "May I ask who this gentleman is?"

Before Fujieda Mikio could answer, the newcomer put his arm around his and introduced herself with a smile: "I'm Mikio's wife, Su-hua, and I'm the client for this."

!!!?Д?ノノ

When Eri and the others heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

Keep in mind that Fujieda Mikio is already fifty-eight years old this year, while the woman in front of him, Fujieda Suka, is only in her twenties. The age difference between the two is too great.

A classic case of an older man dating a younger woman!

Even Eri Kisaki was at a loss for words, and could only awkwardly compliment, "Madam, you really look young!"

Fujieda Suka was clearly used to seeing this expression before, and smiled indifferently, "If there is love, why should we care about the age difference?"

Upon hearing this, Conan couldn't help but secretly mutter, "With such a huge age gap, it's practically a crime!"

Suzuki Haruaki thought to himself, "That's right! You two are truly in love. How many young girls could resist the charm of such an approachable and handsome older man?"

Fujieda Mikio patted Fujieda Suka's hand and said with a smile, "Suka, you've come at the right time. I still have some things to take care of, so I'll leave the guests to you. Please take good care of them for me."

"Don't worry, darling, I will take good care of the guests."

Under the speechless gazes of Eri and the others, Fujieda Soka first kissed Fujieda Mikio's cheek before turning to the four of them and saying, "Please come with me to the study to discuss this further!"

As Suzuki Haruaki walked past Fujieda Mikio, he silently bumped into his thigh.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Fujieda Mikio. You are rewarded with one year of lifespan, which you can claim at any time."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei was not surprised.

After all, Fujieda Mikio's pre-death syndrome was quite obvious. If he hadn't recognized Suzuki Seimei, he would probably still be belittling Mouri Kogoro right now!

Watching Suzuki Harumi and the others leave, Fujieda Mikio's smile gradually faded, and he pouted somewhat unhappily.

If it weren't for the fact that Suzuki Seimei was the heir to the Suzuki Group, Fujieda Mikio would never have bothered to act like a grandson in front of a little kid!

If Suzuki Seimei had already come of age, Fujieda Mikio might have tried to curry favor with him and perhaps even get some business benefits in return.

However, Suzuki Seimei was just a child and could not possibly help him in business, so Fujieda Mikio became too lazy to continue serving him.

If you accidentally flatter someone and offend Suzuki Harumi instead, wouldn't that be like losing both your wife and your army?

Fujieda Mikio would never do a deal that loses money!

Led by Fujieda Suzuka, Suzuki Seimei and his group quickly arrived at the study on the second floor, where they found two threatening letters and a used bullet.

According to Fujieda Motoka, both threatening letters and the bullet were found under Fujieda Mikio's pillow.

When he first discovered the threatening letter, Fujieda Mikio didn't take it seriously at all.

The first threatening letter contained the message, "Watch out for what's behind you!", which felt more like a prank than a threat.

The next morning, Fujieda Mikio found a second threatening letter under his pillow, which read, "I will send you to the Western Paradise." He was so angry that he flew into a rage that day.

On the third day, although Fujieda Mikio did not find any more threatening letters, he did find a used bullet under his pillow.

Using bullets as a threat went far beyond a prank, so Fujieda Mikio called the police directly.

Unfortunately, after the police investigated, they found nothing useful, which led to Fujieda Motoka commissioning Kogoro Mouri at a high price.

After listening to Fujieda Suka's account, Kisaki Eiryu thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Suka, have you asked the police to investigate the fingerprints on these notes?"

"that"

Fujieda Suka gave an awkward laugh: "When I found these two threatening letters, Mikio was furious. He woke up all his family members and scolded them. He also passed the threatening letters around for them to read. As a result, they were covered with everyone's fingerprints, so they became completely useless."

"hehe"

Conan said speechlessly, "In that case, even if it's not Uncle, they would surrender with both hands."

Ensuring the integrity of evidence is also the most crucial step in solving a case.

The reason Conan is able to solve cases so quickly is not simply because of his high IQ, but more so because he is able to arrive at the crime scene as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the crime scene is destroyed and the tools used in the crime are destroyed by the suspect, even if Sherlock Holmes came, he still wouldn't be able to solve the case.

Therefore, to some extent, Conan's inherent "death aura" is the most crucial factor in his becoming a famous detective.

"Dong dong dong"

Upon hearing the knock, Fujieda Suka quickly replied, "Come in!"

Ueki Kusaba opened the door and said, "Young Madam, there is someone outside who wants to see you."

"Huh? I don't remember having any other guests scheduled for today. What kind of people were they?"

"That was a beautiful woman whose looks were no less than those of the lawyer Fei in front of us."

"A beautiful woman? Could she be Gan Xiong's mistress?"

Upon hearing this, Fujieda Suka's expression changed drastically, and she stormed out.

Seeing this, Suzuki Harumi and the others shrugged helplessly and followed along, ready to watch the show.

"Yukiko!"

"mom?!"

However, when Suzuki Seimei and the others saw the beautiful woman that Ueki Kusahachi had mentioned, they couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.

The person who arrived was none other than Conan's mother, Yukiko Kudo!

"Yukiko, I miss you so much!"

The first to regain his senses, Suzuki Seimei, spread his arms wide and, with his short legs, pounced on Yukiko.

Yukiko instinctively hugged Suzuki Seimei, rubbing her cheek against his little face and asking, "Seimei, what are you doing here?"

Suzuki Seimei hugged Yukiko's neck and replied in a childish voice, "I came with Aunt Eri to handle the case in place of Uncle Mori."

Fujieda Suka, who was originally full of anger, quickly swallowed back the curse words that were about to come out when she saw Suzuki Seimei and Yukiko being so intimate.

Fujieda Soka's transformation from Fujieda Mikio's mistress to his current position as the head of the household is certainly not due to her being a woman with big breasts but no brains.

Judging from the submissive manner Fujieda Mikio had shown in front of Suzuki Seimei, Fujieda Soka knew that he was no ordinary person and therefore dared not be presumptuous in front of him.

Eri Kisaki quickly came to her senses and couldn't help but walk over to Yukiko and ask, "Yukiko, what are you doing here?"

"Yusaku asked me to come!"
