Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

""

Upon hearing this, the man in sunglasses first wagged his finger at Kogoro Mouri, then extended his right hand to Sonoko.

???

Sonoko blinked in confusion, and asked uncertainly, "What? Do you want to shake my hand?"

""

The man in sunglasses nodded silently.

"hello!"

As soon as Sonoko touched the man in sunglasses' right hand, which was wrapped in bandages, his right hand turned into a clump of bandages and fell to the ground, startling Sonoko!

Looking at the sunglasses-wearing man's empty wrist, Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in realization, "So you were playing the Invisible Man!"

︿￣︶￣︿

Upon seeing that Kogoro Mouri recognized the character he was playing, the Invisible Man finally revealed a happy smile.

Suzuki Seimei stared at the invisible man for a while, then glanced at Conan beside him, secretly chuckling to himself, "I didn't expect Hattori Heiji to be here too. It seems that the guy's mistake last time wasn't for nothing."

That's right!

The invisible man before them was none other than Hattori Heiji in disguise.

Despite being covered in bandages, wearing sunglasses, and remaining silent, Hattori Heiji's aura instantly betrayed his true identity.

Since Suzuki Seimei awakened the ability of Eye Concealment, when identifying a target, he directly observes the aura emanating from the target, rather than simply looking at the target's appearance.

Therefore, ordinary disguise techniques could not possibly fool Suzuki Seimei's eyes, which is why he was able to recognize Yukiko instantly.

The last time Conan acted alone, he was almost cornered in a locker at the train station by Gin and Vodka.

Having learned from his previous experience, Conan did not act rashly after discovering the Black Organization members' whereabouts this time. Instead, he first contacted Heiji Hattori.

Because Heiji Hattori already knew Conan's secret that he was Shinichi Kudo, and the two were also best friends, he rushed over without hesitation after receiving Conan's call for help.

To lower the guard of the Black Organization members, Conan had Heiji Hattori pretend to be invisible, allowing him to hide in the shadows and act according to circumstances.

"Anyone with the Death Card, gather over here!"

"The Hermit! Who else is the Hermit?"

"Does anyone have the Fool card?"

Upon seeing that Suzuki Haruaki and his seven-person group had assembled, the other guests in the hall waved their tarot cards and began searching for their respective teammates.

"Ding ding ding"

Once all the guests in the hall had found their teammates, a loud gong suddenly rang out, and Captain Gaode reappeared on the stage.

"All you demons and monsters, it's time to set sail! We will traverse the seven cursed seas and show those foolish and arrogant humans our might!"

Hearing Captain Gao De's somewhat childish remarks, the guests present did not feel ashamed at all; instead, they raised their arms and cheered.

"So dirty!"

Amid cheers from the guests, the ghost ship slowly set sail from the port and headed into the depths of the sea.

Hidden among the crowd, Vermouth felt the slight tremors brought on by the ghost ship's departure, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

Once the ghost ship has sailed for a few more hours and is completely away from the port, Vermouth can proceed with her plan to eliminate Ai Haibara.

However, what Vermouth didn't expect was that Ai Haibara was no longer the weakling she used to be.

After awakening her ability to control spider silk, Ai Haibara was able to instantly kill even Gin and Vodka.

If it were in the past, Ai Haibara would have stayed as far away as possible after learning that the person who sent the letter to Kogoro Mouri was Vermouth.

Now that she has learned that the sender of the letter is Vermouth, Ai Haibara wants to take this opportunity to get rid of her and cut off one of the Black Organization's arms.

At this moment, Ai Haibara is like a black widow, having woven a highly venomous spider web, just waiting for Vermouth to take the bait!

If Vermouth had chosen to use a sniper rifle to headshot Ai Haibara from a distance, she might have been able to kill her.

However, in order to protect Conan, Vermouth dared not make too much of a commotion. She could only try to involve Ai Haibara in the murder case and then kill her to silence her.

Ai Haibara's spider silk, created by manipulating spider silk, is several times stronger than ordinary steel wire.

Without the ability to use heavy weapons, Vermouth couldn't even break through Ai Haibara's defenses, so the roles of human and object had to be reversed.

"Thump!"

The lights in the hall suddenly went out, plunging the entire hall into darkness.

"What happened?"

Just as the crowd began to stir, Captain Gaode's voice came through the loudspeakers in the hall.

Chapter 583 Ai Haibara's Achilles' Heel (Third Update, Please Vote)

"Listen up, all you demons and monsters! I have some good news to tell you! The dishes for the banquet have been decided, and a human with no magical power and who is extremely ugly has infiltrated this demonic party."

Captain Gao De, halfway through his sentence, deliberately spoke in a bloodthirsty and cruel tone: "What you need to do next is to drag that human out, dig out his internal organs, eat his flesh, and drink all his blood. What do you say?"

"Roar"

"Ow!

! ”

Upon hearing Captain Gao De's words, the demons and monsters present immediately let out a series of excited howls.

"very good!"

Kogoro Mouri declared with high spirits, "Let me, Kogoro Mouri, drag the criminal out!"

"The key to capturing that human is in my hands. If you want a clue, come up on deck."

Before Captain Gao De could finish speaking, a scream suddenly came from the loudspeaker, causing everyone present to change their expressions drastically.

"what happened?"

"Hurry up and go out to see!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri and Conan rushed towards the deck without hesitation.

"Let's go take a look!"

Seeing this, Sonoko quickly led Suzuki Seimei and the others to chase after them.

When everyone arrived on the deck, they saw the ghost captain hanging upside down from the mast, swaying gently in the sea breeze.

"What's going on?"

"I think this must be the program for tonight's banquet, right? Didn't the staff say there was a 'guess the murderer' game tonight?"

"So that's how it is. The victim was the ghost captain?"

Hearing the whispers of the other guests, Kogoro Mouri's worried expression vanished instantly. Looking at the ghost captain drifting in the wind, he said, "As expected of a professional actor, his acting is truly beyond words!"

"boom!

! ”

No sooner had Kogoro Mouri finished speaking than the ghost captain, who was hanging upside down on the mast, suddenly slipped off the mast rope and crashed heavily onto the deck.

"Ahhh"

Upon seeing the crossbow bolt embedded in the ghost captain's chest, and the corpse...

"Everyone stay where you are and do not disturb the scene. I am the famous detective Kogoro Mouri. Please do not approach the body until the police arrive!"

Kogoro Mouri was the first to come to his senses, stopping several staff members who wanted to go forward to check the situation, and quickly walked to the ghost captain's side to examine him.

There was a crossbow bolt stuck in the ghost captain's chest, indicating that he had been shot through the heart with a crossbow and killed.

In addition, a Death card was stuck in the crossbow bolt, which clearly indicates that the murderer was one of the seven guests who were assigned the Death card.

Of course!

It cannot be ruled out that the murderer was deliberately creating a false impression. He may have stolen a guest's Death card first and then wanted to frame that guest for the murder.

After all, under normal circumstances, there is no need for a murderer to put the Grim Reaper card on the crossbow arrow; that would be tantamount to telling others that he is the murderer.

While Kogoro Mouri and Conan were completely distracted by the dead ghost captain, Vermouth, disguised as a "witch," suddenly and silently appeared behind Ai Haibara.

Vermouth placed her left hand on Ai Haibara's shoulder, while her right hand, hidden in her sleeve, held a silenced pistol against her back. In a low voice, only the two of them could hear, she greeted her softly, "Long time no see, Sherry."

"!

! ”

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara's expression changed drastically, and Tong Kong shrank back abruptly.

Ai Haibara originally thought that Conan had been exposed, which was why Kogoro Mouri was being targeted by the Black Organization. However, she never expected that she was the one who had been exposed.

Vermouth, you must die!

Upon learning that her identity had been exposed, Ai Haibara had already sentenced Vermouth to death in her heart.

Since Ai Haibara was taken in by Seimei Suzuki, she has been living the life she has always dreamed of, enjoying an ordinary yet wonderful life like a normal person, living openly and honestly under the sun.

Although Ai Haibara had already learned from Akemi Miyano that the Suzuki family was an extraordinary family and that the Black Organization's power was nothing in front of them, she did not want to cause unnecessary trouble for the Suzuki family because of herself.

Since Vermouth wants to ruin her wonderful life, then don't blame Ai Haibara for being ruthless!

"Sherry, you probably don't want to accidentally hurt that cute little brother, right?"

Vermouth glanced at Suzuki Haruaki not far away, then whispered in Ai Haibara's ear, "Let's find a quiet place and catch up."

╬￣ dishes￣

Upon seeing Vermouth threaten her with Suzuki Seimei, Ai Haibara clenched her fists, her eyes filled with icy killing intent.

Suzuki Seimei was Ai Haibara's Achilles' heel, and Vermouth dared to use him to threaten her, which was tantamount to committing a major taboo.

If Ai Haibara had previously planned to give Vermouth a quick death, now she wants to use Vermouth as a guinea pig, torturing her to death.

do not forget!

Ai Haibara was once a core member of the Black Organization. Although she was only the chief researcher of the anti-aging drug, she often used animals as test subjects in the process of researching the drug and was proficient in many methods of torture.
