Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Seeing Conan's dizzy and disoriented state, Suzuki Haruaki suppressed a laugh and asked, "Conan, are you alright?"

"I...I'm so dizzy~ Qing...Qingming, don't turn around..."

"Conan, what's wrong?"

"Sister Xiaolan... hiccup~"

When Ran Mouri saw that Conan could barely stand, she finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly turned to Heiji Hattori, asking, "What did you give Conan to drink?"

“A kind of Chinese liquor called Bai Gan~” Hattori Heiji peeled off the newspaper on the outside of the bottle and said to himself, “I’ll be bothering you here until I see Kudo, so consider this bottle of liquor a gift for our first meeting.”

Ran Mouri helped Conan, whose face was flushed, and angrily shouted, "You're such a terrible person! How could you give a child alcohol?"

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Most Poisonous Heart is a Woman's (Seeking Votes and Add to Favorites)

Ding Dong!

Just as Ran Mouri was about to use "Karate" to throw Heiji Hattori, this uninvited guy, out, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Here it comes~"

When Suzuki Seimei heard the doorbell ring, he opened the door and a middle-aged woman wearing a brown trench coat walked in.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Tsujimura Kimie. You are rewarded with three [Pufferfish Needles], which you can claim at any time."

Just as the newcomer accidentally bumped into Suzuki Seimei, a system notification sounded in his ear.

Item Name: Pufferfish Needle

Type: Consumables

Quality: Normal

Effect: A poison needle soaked in pufferfish venom, which is lethal upon contact with blood.

Note: The mouth of a green bamboo snake, the stinger of a wasp. Neither is poisonous; the most poisonous is a woman's heart.

"Please have a seat, madam. Xiao Lan, quickly go and pour some coffee."

When Kogoro Mouri saw that a guest had arrived, he didn't bother chatting with Heiji Hattori anymore and immediately greeted him warmly.

Suzuki Seimei stood aside, listening to Kogoro Mouri and the others' conversation, and quickly understood what had happened.

The woman in the brown trench coat is named Kimie Tsujimura. Her husband is a diplomat, and the reason she came to the Mouri Detective Agency today is to investigate the background of her future daughter-in-law.

However, Suzuki Haruaki, recalling the original plot, knew that Tsujimura Kimie's purpose was not to investigate her future daughter-in-law's background at all, but to use Mouri Kogoro as a witness to secretly poison her husband.

The reason why Suzuki Haruaki was able to recall the plot so quickly was because the plot of this case was too classic.

Not only was it the first time Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi met, but it was also the first time Edogawa Conan transformed back into Kudo Shinichi, so Suzuki Haruaki had a very deep impression of this case.

"In short, we can discuss the details with my husband after you arrive at my home," said Kimie Tsujimura.

"Go to your house?" Kogoro Mouri asked, somewhat puzzled. "There's no need to go to your house for something like this, is there? Couldn't you just bring your husband along?"

Kimie Tsujimura said without changing her expression, "Didn't I just say? My husband is a diplomat. If others find out he hired a private investigator, then..."

“There will be scandals, right!” Hattori Heiji picked up where Tsujimura left off, and suggested with a smile, “In that case, I’ll go with you!”

"What? What are you going to do?"

Hattori Heiji said, "Instead of letting you go alone, why don't I pretend to be your father and go with you? That way, we'll be less likely to arouse suspicion."

"Sister Ran, let's go together then. No one would expect a private detective to bring his whole family along when taking on a case, right?" Suzuki Seimei tugged at Ran Mouri's hand, blinked his clear and bright eyes, and looked on with anticipation.

"Alright, let's leave it at that then!"

Before Kogoro Mori could speak, Kimie Tsujimura nodded slightly in agreement.

Led by Kimie Tsujimura, Haruaki Suzuki and his entourage soon drove to a simply decorated villa.

"Madam, you're back."

A middle-aged butler in a black suit was the first to approach, and then asked with some curiosity, "Who are these guests?"

"This is my old friend, Mr. Mori, and his children. I specially invited them to be my guests." Tsujimura Kimie gave a brief introduction to Kogoro Mori, then feigned ignorance and asked, "Where is the master?"

"The master has been in his study since early this morning and hasn't come out yet."

"mom!"

Just as the middle-aged butler finished speaking, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out, and a beautiful woman with short brown hair walked out from the room next door and gave a slight bow to Tsujimura Kimie.

The moment they saw the brown-haired beauty, everyone recognized her as Katsuragi Sachiko, the future daughter-in-law of Tsujimura Kimie.

Based on the information and photos previously provided by Kimie Tsujimura, Sachiko Katsuragi is an outstanding woman. Not only is she very beautiful, but she also graduated first in her class from Tokyo Medical College and excels in all aspects.

When Tsujimura Kimie saw Katsuragi Sachiko, his expression changed slightly, and a hint of guilt flashed deep in his eyes, but on the surface he said coldly, "How did you end up here?"

“Mom, I asked Sachiko to come.” Tsujimura Takayoshi, who was wearing a blue suit and was a head taller than Katsuragi Sachiko, put his arm around her shoulder and said, “I forced Dad to agree because he was reluctant to meet Sachiko.”

Tsujimura Takayoshi is the only son of the Tsujimura family, but Tsujimura Kimie is not his biological mother, but his stepmother.

Seeing the happy smiles on Tsujimura Takayoshi and Katsuragi Sachiko's faces, Suzuki Seimei secretly shook his head.

It's true what they say, lovers end up as siblings!

Kimie Tsujimura is actually Sachiko Katsuragi's biological mother. Although Sachiko Katsuragi and Takayoshi Tsujimura are not related by blood, her father, Kenji Yamashiro, was killed by Takayoshi Tsujimura's father, Isao Tsujimura.

Back then, both Kenji Yamashiro and Isao Tsujimura were diplomats, but due to their differing stances, they were rivals.

In order to bring down Kenji Yamashiro, Isao Tsujimura used despicable means to frame him for embezzlement and dereliction of duty, causing him to die unjustly in prison.

Afterwards, Tsujimura Isao pretended to be a kind-hearted person and deceived the unsuspecting Tsujimura Kimie, making her his second wife.

Katsuragi Sachiko is the daughter of Tsujimura Kimie and Yamashiro Kenji. To prevent his daughter from being implicated in Yamashiro Kenji's affairs, Tsujimura Kimie sent her to live with relatives who had no children.

Until recently, Tsujimura Takayoshi and Katsuragi Sachiko were in a relationship and had even reached the point of discussing marriage, but Tsujimura Isao discovered that she was the daughter of Yamashiro Kenji.

Perhaps because of his guilty conscience, Tsujimura Isao suspected that Katsuragi Sachiko deliberately approached Tsujimura Takayoshi in order to find an opportunity to take revenge on him. In his panic, he accidentally revealed the story of how he framed Yamashiro Kenji back then.

When Kimie Tsujimura learned the truth, she realized that Kenji Yamashiro had been framed, and that she had foolishly believed Tsujimura Isao's lies and married this devilish man. She was on the verge of a breakdown.

Out of guilt towards Kenji Yamashiro and his daughter, Kimie Tsujimura conceived the idea of ​​killing Isao Tsujimura.

Therefore, Kimie Tsujimura deliberately went to Kogoro Mouri, intending to poison Isao Tsujimura in front of him and frame Isao Tsujimura's father for the crime.

Isao Tsujimura's father was a veteran diplomat, and it was thanks to this old man's help that Isao Tsujimura was able to successfully frame Kenji Yamashiro.

Chapter Seventy: Spoilers Are Fun for a Moment

"Dong dong dong..."

After finishing her conversation with Katsuragi Sachiko and the others, Tsujimura Kimie led Suzuki Haruaki and the others toward the study and knocked on the door.

"That's strange, isn't he inside?" Tsujimura Kimie frowned, feigning confusion, took the study key from his briefcase, opened the door, and went inside.

As soon as the door was opened, opera music wafted out, clearly indicating that the study was very well soundproofed.

As they listened to the song coming from the speakers, Kogoro Mouri and the others subconsciously focused their attention on the speakers.

"Honey, you're here~ Honestly, you must have fallen asleep again, you didn't even turn off the stereo." Kimie Tsujimura complained as she walked towards Isao Tsujimura.

Suzuki Haruaki had already recalled that in the story, his attention was always focused on Tsujimura Kimie, but he hesitated in his heart.

Tsujimura Isao is clearly not a good person, and even if he was really killed by Tsujimura Kimie, it wouldn't be considered unjust.

Suzuki Seimei isn't a policeman, so he doesn't rigidly follow the law. He has his own set of rules, otherwise he wouldn't have manipulated Aizen's stand-in to kill people.

For those criminals whose crimes do not warrant the death penalty, Suzuki Seimei might try to intervene and give them a chance to reform.

However, Suzuki Harumi had no motivation to rescue Tsujimura Isao, a scoundrel who framed others and tried to take other men's wives.

"Pfft!"

Just as Suzuki Harumi was hesitating, Tsujimura Kimie, who was standing next to Tsujimura Isao, secretly took out a poisoned needle from his keychain and stabbed it into Tsujimura Isao's neck.

Because Kogoro Mouri and the others were all focused on the speakers, and because there were a lot of books on the desk, no one noticed Kimie Tsujimura's little trick, not even Seimei Suzuki.

Although Suzuki Harumi's attention was focused on Tsujimura Kimie, his short stature prevented him from seeing the poison needle hidden in the keychain.

Holy crap!

Seeing the three large characters "Check-in Available" floating above Tsujimura Isao's head disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This is a huge loss!

Although Suzuki Seimei didn't want to help a scumbag like Tsujimura Isao, he didn't want to miss out on the sign-in rewards.

However, this was the first time Suzuki Seimei had seen that when the target for the sign-in died, the three big characters "Can Sign In" above their head would disappear, and he didn't react for a moment.

If he had known earlier, Suzuki Seimei would definitely have gone to touch Tsujimura Isao before Tsujimura Kimie did.

It hurts so much! My heart aches so much!

Feeling like he had suddenly lost hundreds of millions, Suzuki Seimei was completely devastated.

Is this punishment for my failure to save someone in distress?

Yamete!

Noticing Suzuki Seimei's suddenly downcast expression, Conan couldn't help but ask, "Seimei, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I just want to be alone."

"Jingjing?"

"Honey, wake up, the guests are here..."

boom!

Before Conan could understand what Suzuki Harumi meant, Tsujimura Isao, who was sitting in a chair, suddenly fell to the ground along with the chair.

Upon hearing the sound of Tsujimura Isao falling to the ground, the three detectives present instantly activated their professional instincts and rushed over.

"Husband, husband..."

"I'm sorry, Madam, your husband has stopped breathing." Kogoro Mouri first checked Tsujimura Isao's breath, then shook his head apologetically at Tsujimura Kimie, before calling out to Ran Mouri, "Ran, call the police quickly!"

"Yes!"
