Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Unless Ji Wuye wants to be reincarnated right now, he can only grit his teeth and give Suzuki Seimei enough compensation to appease this jinx.

"If I ask you to come up with 100,000 taels of gold as compensation, you definitely can't afford it, so I won't make things difficult for you. Let's find a simpler option."

Suzuki Harumi, halfway through his sentence, pointed at Mo Ya and Bai Feng and said, "I happen to be short two errand boys by my side. Their lightness skills are quite good, so you can give them to me!"

"This……"

Upon hearing that Suzuki Seimei actually wanted Mo Ya and Bai Feng, Ji Wuye hesitated for a moment.

After all, Mo Ya and Bai Feng were Ji Wuye's right-hand men, and they knew many of his secrets. Ji Wuye was really unwilling to give them to Suzuki Seimei.

Seeing Ji Wuye's hesitant expression, Suzuki Seimei feigned displeasure and said, "Since you're so insincere, then you shouldn't live on..."

"I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"

Before Suzuki Seimei could finish speaking, the cowardly Ji Wuye hurriedly shouted, "Mo Ya, Bai Feng, why aren't you two paying your respects to your new master? Are you trying to kill me?!"

"Ink Raven greets its master!"

"Bai Feng greets Master!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ya and Bai Feng exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously knelt down on one knee before Suzuki Seimei.

"No need for formalities, please rise!"

Suzuki Seimei waved his hand and said, "By the way, I don't really like being called 'master.' From now on, please just call me 'young master'!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ya and Bai Feng replied in unison, "Yes, young master."

"Aizen, you may leave now!"

"Yes, young master."

After Aizen finished speaking, he first sheathed the Demon Slayer Sword, and then, in full view of everyone, vanished without a trace.

"..."

Having witnessed Aizen vanish into thin air, Ji Wuye's expression changed slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

If Ji Wuye could say that he was careless when Aizen sneaked up on his back at the beginning, then...

So, the fact that Ji Wuye focused his attention on Aizen but still couldn't figure out how he disappeared shows that it can't be described as carelessness.

Although Ji Wuye was a great general of the Korean state, wielding power over hundreds of thousands of Korean soldiers, he was no different from an ordinary person in front of a top-tier assassin like Aizen.

In any case, before finding a way to restrain Aizen, Ji Wuye definitely wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Suzuki Seimei again, otherwise he would really worry that his head might be moved in his sleep.

Of course!

What Ji Wuye didn't know was that Aizen's stealth technique was actually far less powerful than he had imagined.

The reason why Mo Ya and the others couldn't see Aizen at first was because Suzuki Seimei secretly used the "Eye Concealment" technique to interfere with their vision.

Therefore, Mo Ya and the others did not witness the scene where Aizen was summoned by Suzuki Seimei.

With his mastery of the "Assassination Technique," Aizen minimized his presence, thus evading Ji Muye's senses and silently approaching him from behind, placing the "Demon Slayer Sword" against his neck.

Aizen's subsequent disappearance was not due to the use of stealth techniques; he was simply recalled into the system space by Suzuki Seimei's will.

Even if Ji Wuye's perception was extremely strong, he would only sense that Aizen had vanished into thin air, and thus mistakenly believe that Aizen's stealth technique had reached the level of being able to appear and disappear unpredictably.

"Yan'er, let's go!"

Under Ji Wuye's extremely wary and resentful gaze, Yan Lingji bent down, picked up Suzuki Seimei, and left the General's Mansion with Mo Ya and Bai Feng.

Not only did he fail to get the 100,000 taels of gold back, he also lost Mo Ya and Bai Feng. Ji Wuye really suffered a huge loss this time.

This is a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead; losing both wife and army!

Ji Wuye knew very well that he would never get back the military pay that Suzuki Seimei had stolen.

Since the 100,000 taels of gold were definitely lost, there was no need for Lord Longquan and Lord Anping, who were imprisoned, to live any longer.

Ji Wuye didn't want to end up with nothing but trouble instead of getting to eat the mutton!

……

Early next morning

Han King's Palace

Looking at the two confessions left by Lord Longquan and Lord Anping, King Han An couldn't help but clench his fists, barely suppressing his anger as he said, "My two younger brothers, just like that..."

"Your Majesty!"

Just as King Han An was about to erupt in anger, Ji Wuye suddenly stepped forward and said, "This humble general believes that this case should not be investigated any further!"

"..."

Upon seeing this, King Han An's expression changed slightly: "General, what... what is the reason for this?"

"Your Majesty, it is said that when ghost soldiers take away a soul, they will also take away the person's personal belongings from their lifetime."

Ji Wuye pointed to the table in front of Han Wang'an and said, "The ornaments on the table are the personal belongings of several deceased chief judges, which were found by my men in the Valley of Broken Souls."

"Could it be..."

A chill flashed deep in Han Wang'an's eyes, but on the surface he feigned panic and said, "They really were attacked by ghost soldiers..."

In fact, King Han An was not as incompetent and foolish as Ji Wuye and the others imagined; otherwise, he would not have been able to have Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye check and balance each other.

However, Ji Wuye now controls most of the military power in Han, so even if King An of Han wanted to take him down, it wouldn't be an easy task.

In the original story, Han Fei had already found irrefutable evidence that Ji Wuye had embezzled military funds, but he didn't dare to expose him. Wasn't he afraid that Ji Wuye would be driven to desperation and lead his troops in rebellion?

South Korea was already the weakest of the seven kingdoms. If Ji Wuye were to rebel, even if the rebellion could be quelled, the country would likely be on the verge of destruction.

Therefore, even if Han Wang'an knew in his heart that Ji Wuye was the mastermind behind the Ghost Soldiers' robbery of the grain rations, he could only play along and pretend to be ignorant.

Ji Wuye said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, the confessions of Lord Longquan and Lord Anping have already stated that if Your Majesty continues to investigate this matter, I'm afraid the ghost soldiers will endanger Your Majesty's safety."

"Ding ding ding..."

Faced with Ji Wuye's blatant threat, King Han An was so frightened that he dropped the jade pendant he was holding to the ground.

If it were in the past, King Han An might not have been frightened by Ji Wuye's words.

However, now that even Lord Longquan and Lord Anping have committed suicide, King Han An dares not risk his life to gamble on whether Ji Wuye dares to assassinate the king.

"Your Majesty, ever since the ghost soldiers appeared in Xinzheng City, the people have been living in fear and all industries have declined."

Sensing that King Han was considering backing down, Zhang Kai quickly stepped forward and said, "I also believe that for the sake of the country and its people, it would be best to let the matter rest."

Although Zhang Kaidi really wanted to use the "Ghost Soldiers Robbery of the Draft Funds" case to get rid of Ji Wuye, this treacherous minister who brought disaster to the country, he also knew very well that he must not force Ji Wuye to rebel now!

With Zhang Kai offering a way out, King Han An secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed his words, saying, "You two ministers are right. I am not afraid of those ghost soldiers, but I am afraid that the people will suffer and the country will be unstable."

"Your Majesty, I believe that as long as we hold a memorial ceremony for the dead in the Valley of Broken Souls, we can appease the resentment of those ghost soldiers and prevent them from causing further harm to the human world."

Upon hearing Ji Wuye's words, King Han An pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let's leave it at that. I'll leave the matter of the sacrifice to the General. If you can resolve this matter, I will reward you handsomely."

"Your subject accepts the imperial decree and expresses his gratitude!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye knelt on one knee and said.

Chapter 613 Madam Hu Becomes a Widow (Second Update, Please Vote)

Wujiu wasn't afraid of the servants in Zuo Sima's mansion; he was just worried that if his true identity was exposed, it would attract Ji Wuye's attention. He didn't want the treasure left behind by Huoyu Gong to fall into Ji Wuye's hands.

"what--"

No sooner had the vulture left the Left Sima's residence than a terrified scream shattered the tranquility of the night.

……

As the sun rises and the morning mist dissipates...

"Shh!"

As the warm sunlight streamed through the windows of the Purple Orchid Pavilion and quietly fell onto the floor, Suzuki Seimei abruptly opened his eyes, waking up from his sleep.

Looking at the three women who were still fast asleep, Suzuki Seimei's lips curled up slightly, his face full of smugness.

Last night, the rain poured down and continued on and off all night.

Faced with the incredibly enthusiastic welcome from Zi Nu and her companions, Suzuki Seimei generously shared all his knowledge and skills.

After being whipped hard by Suzuki Seimei all night, even though Zi Nu and the others were martial arts practitioners, they were exhausted and, unusually, stayed in bed together.

"Zizzizi..."

After Suzuki Seimei crawled out of the gentle embrace, his nearly two-meter-tall body instantly shrank to that of a seven-year-old child. The [Ever-Changing Children's Clothing] also turned into a liquid that covered his entire body, and then transformed into a white silk robe.

"Young Master Qin Ming, you're awake!"

As soon as Suzuki Seimei stepped out of the bedroom, Hongyu, who had been waiting outside, came over with a washbasin and towel.

With Hongyu's help, Suzuki Seimei quickly finished washing up and enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast.

"Smack, smack, smack..."

While eating a juicy meat bun, Suzuki Seimei called out with a hint of sarcasm, "Black Crow!"

"stop!"

No sooner had Suzuki Seimei finished speaking than a dark figure flew in through the window. Mo Ya, dressed in a black bodysuit, knelt on one knee and said, "Young Master, what are your orders?"

Although Mo Ya and the others were forcibly taken from Ji Wuye by Suzuki Seimei, they harbored no resentment and were instead very grateful to Suzuki Seimei.

Because Mo Ya and Bai Feng had long since grown tired of being assassins.

However, Mo Ya knew very well that he knew too many of Ji Wuye's secrets, and Ji Wuye would never be willing to let him leave.

If Mo Ya were to defect with Bai Feng, they would face pursuit from the entire "Nightfall" organization.

As Ji Wuye's most trusted confidant, Mo Ya knew better than anyone how powerful the "Nightfall" organization was in South Korea.

Mo Ya didn't believe they could fool the "Straw-Clothed Strangers'" intelligence network. He feared that before he and Bai Feng could even escape South Korea, they would be hunted down by the Hundred Birds Assassins.
