Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

When Aunt Mi's son and daughter-in-law first learned the truth, they did harbor some resentment towards Sijing Lihua.

However, after Chairman Yoshii personally visited to apologize and offered 50 million yen in compensation, the resentment in Yaeko's parents' hearts gradually dissipated.

After all, the real culprit who killed Yaeko was that guy Nikaido Yuuji, and Yotsui Reika could only be considered an accomplice at most.

In addition to trying to gain the forgiveness of Aunt Mi's family, Chairman Yoshii also expressed his gratitude to the Suzuki Group afterwards.

If Suzuki Seimei hadn't found Yotsuki Reika in time, she probably would have drowned in the bathtub. Chairman Yotsuki couldn't refuse this favor.

To express his gratitude to Haruaki Suzuki, Chairman Yotsubi not only deepened the cooperation between the Yotsubi Group and the Suzuki Group, but also gave Haruaki Suzuki some company shares.

Of course! Chairman Yoshii also knew that Suzuki Harumi was not short of money, so the company shares he gave Suzuki Harumi were also quite special.

The company shares that Chairman Yotsubi gave to Haruaki Suzuki consisted of 10% of Nichiri TV and 10% of Dorobiga Land.

The shares in Nichiri TV will make it easier for Seimei Suzuki to promote new anime in the future, while the shares in Dorobiga Park will allow him to have more fun in his own amusement park.

Suzuki Haruaki was quite satisfied with the thank-you gift sent by Chairman Yotsui, but at the same time he couldn't help but worry about Yotsui Reika's intelligence.

If Yotsuki Reika had told Chairman Yotsuki the whole truth earlier, with her father's abilities, he wouldn't have needed to worry about Nikaido Yuuji's threat at all; he would have solved that problem for her long ago.

……

Monday, sunny

Teitan Elementary School, Grade 1, Class B

"Cough cough cough..."

While concentrating on his drawing, Suzuki Haruaki heard Conan coughing from time to time and subconsciously asked, "Conan, do you have a cold?"

"Um, cough...it seems a bit...cough..."

Conan nodded, replied in a hoarse voice, and took out a mask from his bag and put it on.

"In that case, we can't go to the library today. I think we should wait until tomorrow!"

"Um……"

Conan gave a listless reply, then lay down on the table and slowly squinted his eyes.

"Swish..."

Seeing this, Suzuki Seimei silently shook his head, no longer paying attention to the guy, and slowly began to wield his paintbrush.

"Ding ding ding..."

Time passed slowly, and as the school bell rang, the children shouldered their schoolbags and happily rushed out of the school.

"Then I'll take Conan home first. We'll go to the library after his cold is better!"

"Conan, I hope you get better from your cold soon!"

"Seriously, you need to eat more. Whenever I catch a cold, just two bowls of eel rice are enough to cure it."

“Genta, not everyone is like you~” Mitsuhiko said, speechless.

Bye-bye~

Considering Conan's cold, the three children didn't force Suzuki Seimei and Conan to participate in extracurricular activities, and watched the two leave on the Giant Sword.

sizzle...

Suzuki Seimei sped along on the Giant Sword, the whirlwind he created blowing up the short skirts of the older women along the way, eliciting screams from all sides. With a final, graceful drift, he came to a smooth stop in front of the Mouri Detective Agency.

"Stop lying to me! I know that kid is hiding here. Call him out here now! Where is Shinichi Kudo?!"

As soon as Suzuki Haruaki and Conan arrived at the entrance of the detective agency, they heard a commotion coming from inside.

Looking for me? Could it be...?

Conan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly pushed open the door of the detective agency.

To Conan's relief, what he saw was not a man in black, but a dark-skinned boy in sportswear.

Ran Mouri said with a headache, "I really don't know where Shinichi is!"

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm back."

"Conan, you're back. Are you feeling any better from your cold?" Ran Mouri reached out and touched Conan's still slightly feverish forehead, and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Is it the flu season lately? Shinichi caught a cold too."

"Seimei, you need to keep warm lately too~ Don't catch a cold like Conan." Ran Mouri said, then added with some concern to Seimei Suzuki.

"Ah."

Suzuki Seimei nodded obediently.

"Shinichi Kudo has a cold?" the dark-skinned boy asked in confusion. "Didn't you just say you didn't know where Shinichi Kudo was? How do you know he has a cold?"

Ran Mouri replied somewhat impatiently, "The phone! Shinichi's voice sounded really nasal on the phone just now~"

"Shinichi Kudo actually called here. It seems my information was indeed correct. Everyone says you're Kudo's woman, and that information is true." The dark-skinned boy stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"A woman... a woman?!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri and Conan's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they exclaimed in unison, "Who said such a thing?"

"It was your good friend Sonoko Suzuki who said that Shinichi Kudo hasn't gone to school, so he must be hiding here with you."

o(*￣︶￣*)o

Seimei Suzuki glanced at Conan, a slight smile playing on his lips.

In a way, Sonoko really knows Shinichi Kudo; he really is hiding in Ran Mouri's house.

"That jerk!"

"That shrew!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri and Conan cursed inwardly.

The dark-skinned boy said, "Alright, hurry up and tell me, what did that guy Kudo say on the phone?"

"Nothing much~ He just told me about some interesting mystery novels he'd been reading lately, about the MLB, and then asked how my classmates at school were doing? Things like that!"

Upon hearing this answer, the dark-skinned boy frowned slightly and asked, "Then what about you?"

"My business? Come to think of it, Shinichi always talks about his business when he calls, and he never asks about me~" Ran Mouri was slightly taken aback at first, and after thinking about it carefully, she became more and more unhappy.

A glint of light flashed in the dark-skinned boy's eyes. He quickly walked to the window of the detective agency and peered out to look around.

Seeing the dark-skinned boy's sudden action, Ran Mouri couldn't help but ask, "Wait a minute, what are you doing?"

"Sister Ran, I think this dark-skinned older brother is probably looking for Shinichi-nii!" Suzuki Seimei explained.

Looking for Shinichi?

Ran Mouri blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Faced with Ran Mouri's questioning gaze, Seimei Suzuki calmly explained, "Ran-neechan, don't you find it strange? Since Shinichi-nii asked you how your other classmates are doing lately, how could he not care about how you're doing? Unless..."

"Unless that guy Kudo is hiding nearby, secretly watching you the whole time!"

Before Suzuki Seimei could finish speaking, the dark-skinned boy interrupted him, patted his head, and praised him with a smile, "Little brother, you have a very sharp eye!"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in, Hattori Heiji. You are rewarded with a Proficient-level Iaido manual, which you can claim at any time."

Hearing the name Hattori Heiji, Suzuki Seimei wasn't surprised. After all, he was probably the only dark-skinned handsome guy who looked like Shinichi Kudo.

"Of course! I'm a detective!" Suzuki Haruaki said proudly, raising his cute little face.

"You're a detective? That's such a coincidence, I'm a detective too."

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji's smile grew even brighter. "Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hattori Heiji, and like Kudo Shinichi, I'm a high school detective."

"A high school detective?" Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin and said, "Come to think of it, I seem to have heard of him before. There is indeed a very good detective in the Kansai region."

Heiji Hattori adjusted his baseball cap, smiled, and nodded, saying, "That's right. Shinichi Kudo and I are like this: Hattori is from Kansai, and Shinichi is from Kanto. Because we're both high school detectives, people often compare us."

"Achoo!"

As soon as Heiji Hattori finished speaking, Conan couldn't help but sneeze.

"Little brother, your cold seems pretty bad. Luckily, I brought some good medicine with me!"

Seeing this, Heiji Hattori took out a bottle wrapped in newspaper from his backpack, poured Conan a glass of baijiu, and handed it to him with a smile, saying, "Your cold will get better soon after drinking this, come on!"

Thank you~

Under Suzuki Seimei's speechless gaze, Conan took the sake Hattori Heiji offered and drank it down in one gulp.

Young man, you have a good capacity for alcohol!

Seimei Suzuki secretly gave Conan a thumbs up.

It's important to know that the drink Hattori Heiji poured for Conan wasn't one of those bland Japanese sakes, but genuine baijiu.

Even an adult male who can chug a large glass of strong liquor in one gulp can easily get drunk, let alone an elementary school student like Conan.

"There hasn't been any news about Kudo lately, and there are even rumors that he's gone missing, so I came here specifically to check the news."

Heiji Hattori casually placed the bottle on the table beside him, adjusted his baseball cap, and said, "If possible, I'd also like to have a deduction competition with that guy Kudo, to see which of us high school detectives has better reasoning skills."

hiccup~ hiccup~

?(????ω????)?

After finishing a large glass of strong liquor, Conan's face instantly turned red. He hiccuped and staggered towards Suzuki Seimei.
