Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Compared to Ji Wuye, Suzuki Seimei, the new master, is clearly more likely to gain the approval of Mo Ya and Bai Feng.

Since Mo Ya and Bai Feng became Suzuki Seimei's subordinates, not only has their living standards improved significantly, but they also no longer have to harm innocent people for Ji Wuye's selfish purposes as before.

Although Suzuki Seimei was not a good person, he was not a bad person either. He certainly wouldn't indiscriminately harm innocent people.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei's role for Mo Ya and Bai Feng was more like that of intelligence agents; they were simply tasked with gathering intelligence, not with killing people.

Of course!

The reason why Mo Ya and Bai Feng chose to pledge allegiance to Suzuki Seimei instead of seeking an opportunity to defect was not because they were truly loyal to Suzuki Seimei, but mainly because they had no better choice.

After all, Mo Ya and the others knew too many of Ji Wuye's secrets. With the two of them by Suzuki Seimei's side, Ji Wuye didn't dare to kill them.

If Mo Ya and Bai Feng were to choose to defect from Suzuki Seimei's side, even if Suzuki Seimei did not kill them, Ji Wuye would definitely kill them to eliminate any future troubles. Only the dead can keep secrets forever.

"Gurgle~"

Suzuki Seimei took a sip of goat milk, swallowed the bun in his mouth, and asked, "Moya, has anything major happened in Xinzheng City today?"

"Reporting to young master, Zuo Sima Liu Yi was killed at his residence last night."

Mo Ya replied respectfully, "Furthermore, Ji Wuye acted out of character at the morning court session today, recommending the newly appointed Minister of Justice, namely the Ninth Prince Han Fei, to the King of Han to thoroughly investigate this case."

Under normal circumstances, Ji Wuye should personally investigate the case of Liu Yi's murder.

It's not that Ji Wuye valued Liu Yi that much, but rather that Liu Yi, the current Left Sima, was killed, leaving the position vacant.

If Ji Wuye doesn't want to relinquish the position of Left Sima, then he should resolve this matter as quickly as possible and then find a suitable candidate to take over the position.

Although Mo Ya didn't know what Ji Wuye was planning, based on his understanding of Ji Wuye, he knew that Ji Wuye's sudden recommendation for Han Fei to thoroughly investigate the case was definitely not for good reasons.

"Liu Yi was killed?"

Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in the depths of Suzuki Seimei's eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "I understand. You may leave now."

"Yes!"

"stop--"

As soon as Mo Ya finished speaking, he transformed into a blur and flew out of the window.

"Young Master Qin Ming, is there something dirty on my face?"

Hongyu, who was serving nearby, noticed that Suzuki Seimei's gaze towards her had suddenly become somewhat strange, and a puzzled expression appeared on her pretty face.

"nothing?"

Seimei Suzuki shook his head and said, "I just suddenly thought of something interesting."

In the original story, before killing Liu Yi, Wujiu secretly sneaked into Zilanxuan and killed Hongyu, whom he mistook for Nongyu.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei was somewhat surprised when he suddenly learned from Mo Ya that Liu Yi had been killed at his residence the previous night.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense. When Suzuki Seimei went to cause trouble for Ji Wuye earlier, Wujiu was also there watching along with Moya and the others.

Having witnessed Aizen's power firsthand, unless the vulture was in a hurry to be reincarnated, he would never dare to approach Zilan Pavilion, let alone sneak into it to kill someone.

To be honest, Suzuki Seimei had no interest whatsoever in the deceased Liu Yi, but he was very interested in Liu Yi's wife.

Liu Yi's wife was named Lady Hu. She was not only the sister of Consort Hu, the favorite concubine of King Han An, but also the biological mother of Nongyu.

Madam Hu was a beautiful and gentle woman, whose only flaw was her weak personality and tendency to be submissive.

Now that Liu Yi has been killed by the vulture, Lady Hu has no one to rely on, and she must be having a very difficult time.

Whether it was out of consideration for Nongyu or for Lady Hu, Suzuki Seimei felt it was necessary to take good care of Lady Hu.

Chapter 614 The Weak Madam Hu (First Update, Please Vote)

A dark night for murder, a windy day for arson.

"Whoosh!"

Under the cover of night, the vulture, dressed in a black robe, silently infiltrated the residence of the Left Sima.

“Wow wow wow”

In the pitch-black bedroom, Madam Hu's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she slept, dreaming again of the destruction of Fire Rain Manor years ago, and the sound of a baby crying echoing in her ears—the most helpless moment of her life.

"do not want!"

Forced to separate from her daughter once again, Mrs. Hu suddenly opened her eyes, waking up from a nightmare, and sat up with disheveled hair.

"huhuhuhu"

Just as Madam Hu was pale and panting heavily, covered in sweat, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out: "Madam, you're sleeping so peacefully."

!

!

Madam Hu instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, and Tong Kong suddenly shrank back.

The vulture, dressed in a long black robe, was like a messenger of death in the darkness, carrying a blood-stained sword and with the corpses of several servants lying at its feet.

Looking at the servants lying in pools of blood, Madam Hu unconsciously pulled the blanket over herself, her delicate body trembling slightly as she asked, "Who...who are you?"

Madam Hu, who knew no martial arts at all, was like a little white rabbit encountering a big bad wolf when facing a ruthless killer like Wujiu.

Weak, helpless, and pitiful!

Glancing at the trembling Madam Hu, Vulture said expressionlessly, "I'm just someone who wants to take back what's mine."

Upon hearing this, Madam Hu's expression changed slightly, and she asked, "Is there something my husband owes you?"

"What are you pretending to be? That's a treasure that the three of us brothers managed to snatch from your Fire Rain Manor with great difficulty."

"You three brothers? Treasure?"

Madam Hu's face changed drastically, and she cried out in shock and fear, "You...you are the Three-Haired Broken-Haired Man!"

It was the one who destroyed Fire Rain Manor back then, and Madam Hu will never forget the title "The Three-Haired Man" in her life. Moreover, she will almost always dream of these three demons whenever she has a nightmare.

However, according to Madam Hu, the man who cut his hair should have already been wiped out by Liu Yi's troops.

It was precisely because Liu Yi avenged the people of Huoyu Manor that Madam Hu agreed to marry him.

Seeing Madam Hu's surprised expression, Wujiu sneered impatiently, "Liu Yi killed my brother and embezzled the treasure of Fire Rain Manor. Don't you know that?!"

I never interfere in his affairs.

"Humph!"

A cold glint flashed in the vulture's eyes. He slowly walked towards Madam Hu, sword in hand, and said in an icy tone, "As a descendant of Lord Huoyu, Liu Yi must be doing this for you. Hand over the treasure now, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"

As soon as the vulture finished speaking, it suddenly raised its longsword and thrust it forward, the sharp tip of which instantly pressed against Madam Hu's goose neck.

"I really don't know."

Feeling the chill emanating from the sword's edge, Madam Hu's beautiful eyes were filled with terror, and her voice trembled uncontrollably.

Madam Hu truly had no idea about the bad things Liu Yi had done behind her back.

If Madam Hu knew that Liu Yi was the mastermind behind the destruction of Huoyu Manor, how could she possibly be willing to marry him?

"Even when death is imminent, you still dare to be stubborn!"

Seeing that Madam Hu was so ungrateful, Wujiu's last bit of patience was exhausted. He raised his long sword and said, "Then I'll ruin your face first and see how long you can keep up this stubbornness."

"Pfft!"

Just as Madam Hu closed her eyes in fright, a black longsword suddenly pierced through the vulture's chest from behind.

"you you"

The vulture instinctively turned its head and saw only a somewhat familiar handsome face before collapsing with a look of resentment.

The reason why the vulture felt that the person who came was somewhat familiar was because the person who killed him was Suzuki Seimei in his adult form.

"Don't be afraid, Madam, everything is alright now."

Looking at Madam Hu, whose eyes were closed and whose delicate body was trembling, Suzuki Seimei's eyes flashed with a hint of pity. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, softly comforting her.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in as Mrs. Hu. You are rewarded with a Master-level cooking skill. You can claim it at any time."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei's lips curled up slightly, and his tone of comforting Madam Hu became even gentler.

Madam Hu, terrified by the vulture, didn't care who Suzuki Seimei was. Like a drowning person grasping at a straw, she just wanted to hold on tightly to the sense of security he brought her.

?????ω?????

After a while, Madam Hu's emotions finally calmed down, but when she sensed the aura emanating from Suzuki Seimei, her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly.

As someone with experience, Mrs. Hu, though not as reserved as a young girl, still couldn't help feeling shy about being so intimate with a strange man.

Looking at Madam Hu's anxious expression, Suzuki Seimei said softly, "Madam, don't be afraid. My name is Qin Ming, and I am your daughter's good friend."

"My daughter?"

Upon suddenly hearing news about her daughter, Madam Hu grabbed Suzuki Harumi's hands, her face filled with excitement, and said, "Do you know where my daughter is?"

It's no wonder Mrs. Hu was so agitated; she's been through too much stress these past two days.

Last night, Liu Yigang was murdered. Madam Hu had not yet recovered from the grief of losing her husband when the "Hair-Cutting Third Brother," whom she feared most deep down, came knocking on her door again.

Moreover, judging from what Wujiu just said, Liu Yi is very likely the mastermind behind the destruction of Huoyu Manor, and one can imagine the bitterness in Madam Hu's heart.

Now that she had suddenly heard news about her daughter, Mrs. Hu was grasping at a straw, so how could she remain calm?

"Madam, please don't get agitated. Nongyu is doing very well, living a life of luxury, and she also has many good sisters who take care of her."

Suzuki Seimei first calmed Madam Hu down before telling her about Nongyu.

Upon learning that Nongyu had become the top courtesan of Zilan Pavilion, Madam Hu felt immense self-reproach and guilt, and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Although Suzuki Seimei said that Nongyu is doing well now, what woman would willingly work in a brothel if forced to?

Looking at Madam Hu's tearful face, Suzuki Seimei said gently, "Why don't you rest for a while? We can talk about it tomorrow."

As the dream magic was activated, Madam Hu instantly fell into a dream and began to have sweet dreams, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her pretty face.

In her dream, Madam Hu transformed back into that carefree sixteen-year-old girl. She remained the young lady of Fire Rain Manor, spending her days traveling and enjoying herself with Suzuki Seimei.
