Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"Young Master!"

Whoosh!

Kurosaki Yuka instinctively gasped in surprise, but before she could even step forward, Suzuki Seimei sat up from the seawater.

Because Suzuki Haruaki and the others were still young, Kurosaki Tamaka didn't take them to the deep sea area; she just let them play on the beach.

The waters where Suzuki Harumi and his group were located were no more than half a meter deep. Even if they accidentally fell, they would only swallow some water and there was no need to worry about their safety.

blah blah blah...

Suzuki Haruaki spat out the salty seawater in his mouth with a look of disgust, reached into the sand under his buttocks and dug out the culprit that had tripped him.

Wow~ What a huge seashell!

To Ayumi's somewhat surprised gaze, Suzuki Seimei lifted a white seashell the size of a washbasin out of the seawater.

"Such a big seashell, could there be a pearl inside?"

Seeing this, Genta and Mitsuhiko also gathered around with curious expressions.

Click!

Suzuki Seimei stared at the seashell in his hand for a while, then easily broke it open.

Perhaps because it was preyed upon by other marine life, or because it was injured and died, there was no meat inside the shell, only a dozen or so white pearls about the thickness of a little finger.

Chapter Ninety: The SOS Bottle That Drifted By

"There really are pearls!"

"So beautiful!"

"These pearls must be very valuable, right? They could buy so many eel rice bowls!"

Seeing the three kids even happier and more excited than Suzuki Seimei, Conan's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "Speaking of which, Seimei's luck with money is just too good~"

On land, Suzuki Seimei often found loose change; now that he's in the sea, he's even started collecting pearls! It's so enviable!

Just as Mitsuhiko and Genta had said before, even if Suzuki Seimei wasn't the young master of the Suzuki Group, he could probably still make a fortune by picking up money.

"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Yuhua, look! I've found a pearl!"

Suzuki Seimei first showed off the pearls to Ran Mouri and Tamaka Kurosaki, then smiled at Ayumi and the others and said, "Everyone gets a share. Each of you can choose two pearls you like as a souvenir of our beach vacation!"

ヾ(??▽?)ノ

"Great!"

"awesome!"

"Long live Seimei!"

The three little ones cheered joyfully and happily selected two pearls they liked.

"Sister Yuhua, Sister Xiaolan, and Conan, please don't be shy, just come and take it!"

"Then I won't be polite!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri stopped being polite to Seimei Suzuki and took away two pearls of good quality with a smile.

After Ran Mouri and Conan finished making their selections, Tamaka Kurosaki casually took two pearls.

To be honest, Kurosaki Tamaka really doesn't think much of pearls of this quality. Although these pearls are of decent quality, their diameter is only about 15 millimeters.

Not long ago, Suzuki Seimei gifted Kurosaki Tamaka with a complete set of pearl jewelry.

Those pearls were not only full and round, but also had a diameter of more than 20 millimeters; those were the real treasures.

However, Kurosaki Tamaka cherished the gifts Suzuki Seimei gave her and usually couldn't bear to wear those pearl jewelry.

To prevent the pearl from being lost, Ayumi and the others forgot about their water fight and rushed to the beach chairs to put the pearl into an empty beverage can.

"Seimei, let's go treasure hunting!"

After discussing it for a while, Ayumi and the other two suddenly showed incredibly enthusiastic smiles and surrounded Suzuki Haruaki.

"Treasure hunt? What kind of treasure hunt?"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Seimei was slightly taken aback. He didn't seem to have found any treasure map either.

"It's okay~"

"There are so many treasures in the ocean, and you're so lucky, we're sure to find them!"

"The Junior Detective League, let's go!"

After Genta and the others finished speaking, they half-pushed and half-pulled Suzuki Seimei and walked towards the sea not far away.

"These little brats are so naive, I can't stand them..."

Seeing this, Conan shook his head with a look of disgust, but still honestly followed.

Thanks to the passive effect of the Golden Rule, even though Suzuki Seimei was just strolling along the beach with Ayumi and the others, they still managed to find some valuable items.

For example, other tourists might accidentally leave behind gold rings, silver bracelets, or colorful seashells here.

"Huh? What's this?"

While searching for treasure, Yuan Tai's gaze was suddenly drawn to a plastic bottle floating nearby. He hurriedly ran over, picked it up, and exclaimed excitedly, "Look! There's a piece of paper inside! It must be a treasure map!"

"If it really is a treasure map, that would be wonderful."

"Genta, you've done a great job!"

Upon hearing this, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko excitedly gathered around Genta and began examining the plastic bottle.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Seeing the three kids' excited expressions, Suzuki Seimei and Conan exchanged a glance, shrugged helplessly, and then joined them.

"Gentai, let me see the plastic bottle."

After taking the plastic bottle from Genta, Suzuki Seimei picked up a small seashell he had just seen and rubbed it vigorously against the bottle for a while. He quickly cut a large opening and took out the note inside.

Under the expectant gazes of the three children, Suzuki Seimei slowly unfolded the note in his hand, which read "SOS, Shinobu" in large characters.

Upon seeing this, Mitsuhiko couldn't help but exclaim, "SOS? Isn't this a distress signal?"

"Could someone be calling for help? We have to hurry and rescue them," Ayumi said with a worried expression.

"But the ocean is so vast, where can we go to rescue them?"

Genta really wanted to agree with the idea of ​​going to the same place, but he had no idea where to go next.

Conan picked up the plastic bottle and looked at it for a while. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This plastic bottle looks quite new. If someone is really asking us for help, they should be somewhere nearby."

"Alright, let's go, Junior Detective League!"

Hearing Conan's analysis, the three kids shouted with great enthusiasm.

"Wait a minute, if someone is asking us for help, then it means they must be trapped somewhere and can't get out, which is why they are asking us for help in this way."

Seeing that Genta and the others were about to act recklessly, Suzuki Seimei hurriedly stopped them and turned to Kurosaki Tamaka, saying, "Tamaka-neechan, go and prepare an inflatable kayak and a life jacket. Also, in case the person in distress gets injured or dehydrated, prepare a first-aid kit and a bottle of mineral water."

"Yes, young master."

Kurosaki Tamaka nodded slightly, turned and quickly left to prepare the tools Suzuki Seimei had mentioned.

"Seimei, you've thought of everything!"

After hearing what Suzuki Harumi said, Ayumi and the others couldn't help but say with admiration, "Yes! He really is like a great detective."

"It's alright~"

Faced with the three children's admiring gazes, Suzuki Seimei smiled modestly, then said with a slightly amused smile, "If Shinichi-nii were here, he would definitely have done even better than me~"

ヽ(｀Д′)?︵┻━┻┻━┻

Upon hearing Suzuki Harumi's sarcastic hint, Conan's lips twitched, and he felt an urge to flip the table.

That brat is clearly making fun of himself!

However, Conan had to admit that Suzuki Seimei was indeed more thoughtful than he was.

Conan was so focused on rescuing the person that he overlooked the potential predicament the person seeking help might be facing.

If the person calling for help is injured and accidentally trapped somewhere, by the time they find the person and want to come back for rescue tools, it may not be in time.

That said, if Conan had been more cautious back then, he wouldn't have been ambushed by Gin and forced to take the shrinking poison.

I truly regret what I did; it brings tears to my eyes whenever I think about it...

Chapter Ninety-One: The Devil is One Foot Taller, the Righteous is Ten Feet Taller (Seeking Votes and Add to Favorites)

Kurosaki Tamaka quickly prepared all sorts of tools and returned to Suzuki Seimei immediately.

"Sister Yuhua, let me help you carry this kayak!"

Seeing Kurosaki Tamaka's large bags and bundles, the tallest of them all, Genta, volunteered to take the inflatable kayak from her hands.

For easy carrying, the inflatable kayak was not inflated yet, and it looked like a big backpack, but it was still more than enough for Yuan Tai to carry.

"We'll help too."

Seeing this, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also took the life jackets and bottled water from Kurosaki Tamaka's hands, not to be outdone.

"Young Master, Conan, you don't need to help with this. It's more convenient for me to carry it myself."

Faced with the eager gazes of Suzuki Seimei and Conan, Kurosaki Tamaka quickly gripped the straps of the first-aid kit and smiled as she declined their offer.

Kurosaki Tamaka only has the first aid kit left. If this kit is given away, she won't have anything left to carry, which would make her a terrible maid.

"Alright, let's go!"

Following the direction of the sea current, Suzuki Haruaki and his companions walked along the rocks by the sea and soon saw an old man picking up trash nearby.

From the white-haired old man, the group learned the direction from which the marine debris had drifted. Following the direction indicated by the old man, they soon discovered a cave located in the sea.

Kurosaki Yuka stared at the cave for a moment, then pointed to the humanoid shadow in the cave and said, "Young master, there seems to be someone there."
