Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

A woman who can cook may not necessarily be virtuous, but a woman who can't even cook is definitely not virtuous.

Island people have always followed the tradition of male superiority and female inferiority, which can be seen from the fact that girls need to take their husbands' surnames after marriage.

Of course! Given the financial resources of the Tomizawa Group, Ayako Suzuki certainly won't have many opportunities to cook herself after marrying into the family.

However, older people like Tetsuji Tomizawa often place even greater emphasis on tradition.

Therefore, in Tetsuji Tomizawa's eyes, Ayako Suzuki's ability to cook was definitely a big plus.

"Flying forward, a triple, an air-to-air missile, number four Kogure finally brought the good news of scoring to the field in the pouring rain..."

After dinner, Tomizawa Tetsuji didn't rush to leave. Instead, he turned on the TV and watched a live baseball game.

"Great!"

When his favorite baseball team scored, Tetsuji Tomizawa cheered excitedly, like a little kid.

While playing cards and chatting with Sonoko and the others, Tomizawa Yuzo, hearing his father's loud shouting, couldn't help but say helplessly, "Dad, are you a fan of Kagoshima Air Force?"

"Yup!"

"Then you didn't need to come all the way here, and you've been watching baseball the whole time! We have a TV in our villa, don't we?"

Tetsuji Tomizawa shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do about it~ It's just that our villa's TV is broken and we haven't been getting any signal~"

"The match needs to be temporarily suspended. We have an emergency news report for you."

The live baseball broadcast on TV suddenly cut off, and the screen switched to a weather news report. The anchor, wearing black-rimmed glasses, said with a serious expression, "Typhoon No. 1 has suddenly intensified and is continuously moving northward from Okinawa. Due to the typhoon, the departure times of planes and ships have been significantly delayed..."

"Seriously, the game is at a crucial moment, why are they interrupting with news?"

Tomizawa Tetsuji muttered a complaint unconsciously, then turned to Suzuki Ayako and asked, "Ayako, do you have a radio here?"

Suzuki Haruaki interjected, "Uncle Tomizawa, it seems this match wasn't broadcast on the radio."

“Uncle, don’t worry, the competition is about to start. Have a cup of coffee first,” Ayako Suzuki said, handing a freshly brewed hand-drip coffee to Tetsuji Tomizawa.

"Excellent! The young lady of the Suzuki family has indeed been well-trained."

Tetsuji Tomizawa smiled and took the coffee, then turned to Yuzo Tomizawa and teased, "Yuzo, you're really lucky to have found such a virtuous wife!"

(ノ￣▽￣)

Upon hearing this, Tomizawa Yuzo couldn't help but chuckle and scratch his head.

ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh...

As soon as Tomizawa Tetsuji finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "But compared to Yuzo, my other two sons are far too useless."

My eldest son, Taiyi, insists on not following in my footsteps and wants to be the head of the family. He's still single, which is really a headache.

My second son, Da Er, although he's working at a company now, he's gotten engaged to some unknown woman. It's infuriating!

"Alright, alright, Dad, please stop talking badly about my brother~" Tomizawa Yuzo quickly interrupted Tomizawa Tetsuji upon hearing this.

As the saying goes, "Don't wash your dirty linen in public." Although Suzuki Seimei and the others are not outsiders, Ran Mouri and Conan are. It feels a bit embarrassing to say these things in front of them.

Hearing that Tomizawa Yuzo dared to talk back to him, Tomizawa Tetsuji couldn't help but scold him: "Yuzo, and you too, all you do is draw those useless pictures all day long."

If your paintings can sell as well as Seimei's Pokémon, then I'll accept it.

But you're not very talented at drawing, so you'd be better off helping out at my company. I'll definitely find you a good job.

Since Suzuki Seimei's "Pokémon" became one of the most popular anime in Japan, Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Tomoko have often boasted about it to outsiders.

Therefore, although Tetsuji Tomizawa did not like watching Pokémon, he knew that Pokémon was very popular and secretly envied Shiro Suzuki for having such a good son.

After all, Suzuki Seimei is only seven years old, yet he already has such a business mind. He will definitely be more than capable of inheriting the Suzuki Group in the future, and may even be able to further develop and expand the Suzuki Group.

Faced with Tetsuji Tomizawa's reprimand, Yuzo Tomizawa lowered his head in shame. With Seimei Suzuki as an example, he had no reason to refute his father's words.

To be honest, if Suzuki Seimei were the same age as him, Tomizawa Yuzo might have felt jealous.

However, Suzuki Seimei was only a seven-year-old child, and Tomizawa Yuzo was too embarrassed to be jealous of a child. He could only admire his talent in painting.

Tomizawa Yuzo gave Suzuki Haruaki a complicated look and said with a hint of resignation, "Alright, alright, I promise you. After I marry Ayako, I'll go help out at the company."

"That's great! You've finally figured it out. You're such a good son, hahaha..." Tomizawa Tetsuji laughed heartily.

In fact, Tomizawa Yuzo chose to compromise for two reasons: firstly, he was discouraged by Suzuki Seimei's painting talent, and secondly, he was getting married.

After all, Tomizawa Yuzo is about to marry Suzuki Ayako. He can't possibly let Suzuki Ayako manage the company while he just paints and plays around all day. Wouldn't that be like him living off a woman?

Of course! Tomizawa Yuzo will not give up his love of painting, but he will focus most of his energy on his work in the future, and painting will become just a hobby.

"Goodbye home run, nine to eight, extra innings went into the eleventh inning, and the all-out attack ended this evenly matched game..."

Time passed slowly, and the baseball broadcast gradually came to an end. Tomizawa Tetsuji couldn't help but cheer excitedly, "Yay! Yay! Hooray! This is the essence of professional baseball!"

"Alright, Dad, it's getting late, we should head back." Seeing that the baseball broadcast had finally ended, Tomizawa Yuzo said with a helpless expression.

"Oh dear! It's already 11:30. This is really too much of a bother."

Tetsuji Tomizawa glanced at his watch, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Ayako, Yuzo and I will head back now. I'll bring my two other good-for-nothing sons to visit you tomorrow."

"Uncle, you're too kind."

Ayako Suzuki smiled faintly and escorted Yuzo Tomizawa and the others to the villa's gate, softly reminding them, "Be careful on the road."

"Ayako, you should get some rest too. See you tomorrow."

The moment Tomizawa Yuzo and the others left the villa, a dark figure emerged from a corner of the villa and silently followed behind them.

Meanwhile, the culprit lurking in the shadows, after learning of Tetsuji Tomizawa's departure through a listening device hidden in his watch, also began his murder plan.

"Dad, I still have an illustration that needs some revisions, so I'll head to the studio now. You should get some rest!"

"Alright, you can go and do your thing."

After finishing his sentence, Tomizawa Tetsuji waved to Tomizawa Yuzo and walked towards the restroom.

Because Yuzo Tomizawa had already promised Tetsuji Tomizawa that he would go to work at the company to help out after he married Ayako Suzuki, Tetsuji Tomizawa no longer minded that he liked to draw.

Everyone has hobbies and interests, just like Tetsuji Tomizawa himself likes baseball.

Tetsuji Tomizawa disliked his sons' writing and drawing because he felt they were wasting their time on frivolous pursuits.

Take his eldest son, Tomizawa Taichi, for example. In order to become a master, he was unwilling to inherit the Tomizawa Group's business. Isn't that just indulging in pleasure and neglecting one's duties?

It's important to understand that even the most elite world-class entrepreneurs can't earn more than one percent of the Tomizawa Group's wealth, let alone the fact that Tomizawa Taichi simply doesn't have that kind of talent in writing.

Rather than letting Tomizawa Taichi waste years becoming a third-rate writer, Tomizawa Tetsuji felt it was better to force him to work for a company, so he secretly pressured the publishing houses not to give Tomizawa Taichi a job.

Not long ago, Tomizawa Taichi had run out of money and was unemployed, so he asked Tomizawa Tetsuji for help, but was firmly refused.

Because of his traditional mindset, Tomizawa Tetsuji still felt that his eldest son was the most suitable successor, which is why he forced Tomizawa Taichi to come back and inherit the family business.

As for Tomizawa Taichi wanting to become a family head, it actually has no conflict with his return to inherit the family business.

Although the Tomizawa Group is not as wealthy as the Suzuki Group, it is still a large corporation with a market value of over 50 billion US dollars.

If Tomizawa Taichi is willing to come back and inherit the family business, let alone wanting to become a family business himself, he could even acquire several publishing houses and print and distribute his works every day.

Don't put the cart before the horse in anything you do!

Tetsuji Tomizawa could tolerate Taichi Tomizawa treating writing as a hobby, but he couldn't tolerate him making it his main profession.

"boom!"

Just as Tomizawa Yuzo reached the entrance of the art studio, a dark figure suddenly darted out from behind him and struck him on the back of the head with a stick, knocking him unconscious.

After knocking Tomizawa Yuzo unconscious, the shadowy figure's eyes flashed with a cold light as he walked towards the villa's server room and pulled down the main power switch.

Click!

The entire villa was plunged into darkness in an instant. Tomizawa Tetsuji, who was washing up, put down the towel in his hand with some confusion and shouted, "Yuzo, go check if the power has tripped?"

Silence! Utter silence!

After not hearing a response from Tomizawa Yuzo for a long time, Tomizawa Tetsuji suddenly had a bad feeling.

The main purpose of this vacation was to meet Suzuki Ayako, his future daughter-in-law. Moreover, Tomizawa Tetsuji rarely came to this vacation villa, so there were no bodyguards or even servants in the villa.

"Yuzo! Yuzo! Where are you? Answer me quickly..."

Tetsuji Tomizawa's expression changed slightly. He walked out of the bathroom in the dark and headed towards the art studio.

Just as Tomizawa Tetsuji walked into the hall, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him, and a black stick smashed towards the back of his head.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing the sound of wind, Tomizawa Tetsuji, already on guard, instinctively covered his head with both hands, using his arms to shield himself from the attack in the darkness.

However, Tomizawa Tetsuji was already a sixty-year-old man. Although he managed to block the murderer's first attack, he was unable to block the subsequent attacks.

"Woof!!!"

Just as the murderer was about to continue attacking Tomizawa Tetsuji with the stick, a huge black shadow suddenly pounced from the entrance of the hall, opened its blood-red mouth and bit the murderer's arm tightly.

"Ah ah ah..."

The assailant, whose right arm was being tightly bitten by the shadowy figure, felt as if his entire right arm had been bitten to pieces. The intense pain of broken bones caused him to let out a shrill scream.

Chapter Eighty-Eight: Filial Piety and Fatherly Love

Before Tomizawa Tetsuji could recover from the sudden turn of events, the huge black shadow dragged the murderer outside the villa.

Under the moonlight, Tomizawa Tetsuji was able to see the shape of the dark figure clearly.

It was a majestic black Tibetan Mastiff with curly black fur all over its body, looking somewhat like a lion.

This black Tibetan Mastiff was a pet dog that Suzuki Seimei randomly summoned using the [Pet Summoning Doll].

In fact, according to Suzuki Seimei's original plan, he intended to randomly summon a small pet dog such as a Corgi or a Teddy.

Since the Tomizawa family's villa was right next to the Suzuki family's villa, less than 20 meters apart, Suzuki Seimei only needed to summon a small pet dog and have it secretly follow Tomizawa Tetsuji.

If there really was a murderer who wanted to kill Tomizawa Tetsuji, then the pet dog summoned by Suzuki Seimei would only need to bark loudly to alert Mouri Ran and the others at the villa next door.
