Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"Yuanta, hurry up and get the kayak out, we need to go rescue them!"

"understood."

After the inflatable kayak was fully inflated, Suzuki Haruaki said, "Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, the three of you stay here. Otherwise, if there are too many people, the kayak won't be big enough."

Okay~

Although Yuan Tai and the others were somewhat unwilling, they also knew that human lives were at stake, so they didn't dare to cause any trouble at this critical juncture.

The cave was only about 20 meters from the sea. Suzuki Seimei and his group paddled in kayaks and quickly arrived near the cave.

As the kayak slowly approached the cave, Suzuki Seimei and the others were able to see the face of the person who had called for help. It was a long-haired beauty wearing a pink swimsuit, but she was lying unconscious on the ground.

Kurosaki Tamaka was the first to walk to the long-haired beauty's side, checked her breath with her finger, and turned to Suzuki Haruaki, saying, "Young master, she's still alive."

Suzuki Seimei noticed that the sea level near the cave was rising at a visible rate and hurriedly called out, "Sister Yuhua, move her to the kayak first. The sea level here is rising continuously, it's too dangerous, we have to leave here quickly."

Upon hearing this, Kurosaki Tamaka didn't dare to delay any longer. She quickly carried the unconscious long-haired beauty on her back and led her onto the kayak.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Kuroki Shinobu. The reward is the Proficiency Level 'Diving' skill, which you can claim at any time."

Skill Name: Diving

Type: Active Skill

Level: Proficient

Effects: Allows for free movement in seawater without diving equipment, with a maximum diving depth of 40 meters and a 50% increase in breath-holding time.

Consumption: Stamina

Cooldown time: None

Note: I'm just a quiet lurker, bubbling away...

The moment Suzuki Seimei came into contact with the long-haired beauty, a system notification sounded in his ear.

Suzuki Seimei smiled slightly, rowed hard, and before the current became too turbulent, brought the kayak back to the shore.

With the help of Genta and the others, Suzuki Seimei and his group successfully returned to shore. However, not long after they returned, the cave they had been in was completely submerged by the sea.

If Suzuki Seimei and his men hadn't arrived in time to rescue him, the unconscious Kuroki Shinobu would have surely drowned silently in that cave.

After Shinobu Kuroki awoke from her coma, Seimei Suzuki learned the whole story from her.

The reason why Shinobu Kuroki was unconscious in that cave was because she was deceived by her boyfriend.

Shinobu Kuroki's boyfriend is Teruhiko Kasuga, the eldest son of the Kasuga Group.

Not long ago, Teruhiko Kasuga got engaged to a rich heiress. In order to prevent his current girlfriend, Shinobu Kuroki, from getting entangled with him, he had the vicious idea of ​​killing her to silence her.

Kasuga Teruhiko first took Kuroki Shinobu to play near the cave under the pretense of diving, and then, taking advantage of her unpreparedness, made her drink a beverage laced with sleeping pills.

When Shinobu Kuroki realized something was wrong, she no longer had the strength to stand up.

Kasuga Teruhiko finally revealed his true colors, leaving Kuroki Shinobu alone to wait for death, while he himself boarded a speedboat, took his diving equipment, and ruthlessly left.

Before losing consciousness, Shinobu Kuroki managed to write a distress message using a stone and the plastic wrapping from a beverage bottle, threw the bottle into the sea, and then fell into a deep sleep.

If Suzuki Seimei and the others hadn't arrived in time, Kuroki Shinobu would definitely have drowned in that cave.

Even if her body is discovered, given the island nation's police's crime-solving habits and capabilities, they will definitely close the case as an accident or suicide.

After learning the whole story, Genta and the others were all indignant. As partners of justice, how could they tolerate such a thing?

After Suzuki Harumi and his group brought Kuroki Shinobu back to the seaside resort hotel, they promptly called the police, who arrested Kasuga Teruhiko on charges of attempted murder.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Kasuga Teruhiko. You are rewarded with 1 stamina point, which you can claim at any time."

Taking advantage of the moment when Teruhiko Kasuga was being put into a police car, Haruaki Suzuki secretly touched him and successfully earned the sign-in reward.

To be honest, Shinobu Kuroki was really lucky. Not only did he escape a disaster, but he also met his benefactor, Seimei Suzuki.

If it were just Shinobu Kuroki alone, even if she were to survive by sheer luck, it would be difficult to imprison Teruhiko Kasuga based solely on her testimony.

After all, Kasuga Group is a large company with a market value of over 10 billion yen. They could easily hire several top lawyers for Kasuga Teruhiko and have him acquitted.

Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that Teruhiko Kasuga did not choose any other way to break up, but instead dared to commit murder to silence him.

However, with Suzuki Haruaki as a witness, it will not be easy for Kasuga Teruhiko to exonerate himself.

As Suzuki Haruaki had predicted, the chairman of the Kasuga Group was furious when he first learned of Kasuga Teruhiko's arrest.

However, when the chairman of the Kasuga Group learned that this matter actually involved the young master of the Suzuki Group, he was almost scared out of his wits.

Chapter Ninety-Two: Taming the Beautiful Assassin

It's important to understand that compared to a behemoth like the Suzuki Group, the Kasuga Group is like an ant. If the top executives of the Suzuki Group wanted to, they could bankrupt the Kasuga Group in no time.

Therefore, the chairman of Chunri Group did not dare to play any tricks in this case and could only accept his bad luck.

In order to reduce the number of years Kasuga Teruhiko served in prison, the chairman of the Kasuga Group not only did not dare to make things difficult for Kuroki Shinobu, but also compensated her with 20 million yen in emotional distress damages.

This cannot be blamed on the chairman of the Kasuga Group being too complacent; it is mainly due to the overwhelming power of the Suzuki Group.

In capitalist island nations like Japan, top-tier conglomerates like the Suzuki Group wield even greater power than the government.

Even high-ranking government officials rely on the support of major financial groups, so the power of these financial backers naturally far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine.

……

Night slowly fell

Two kilometers away from the seaside resort hotel, in a secluded suburban warehouse, sixteen slender figures are gathered.

In the center of the warehouse, there were four eight-seater wooden tables, which were tightly joined together to form a long banquet table. A white tablecloth covered the table, and it was filled with food and drinks.

At the very top of the long table sat a silver throne, gleaming under the lamplight.

Wearing a black bodysuit, Tachibana Maya sat in the first seat on the left side of the throne.

The beautiful assassin sitting opposite Tachibana Maya was a mixed-race beauty named Charlene.

Charlene is the strongest among the fifteen newly recruited female assassins, approaching the level of a top international assassin, which is why she is qualified to sit in the first seat on the right.

Tonight, Tachibana Maya has gathered these beautiful assassins here to introduce them to her real boss behind the scenes.

Because Tachibana Maya is only a second-rate assassin, and relatively weak among second-rate assassins, it is not an easy task to truly restrain these beautiful female assassins.

If it weren't for their gratitude to Tachibana Maya for saving their lives, assassins like Charlene, whose strength far surpassed Tachibana Maya's, would have already started a rebellion.

However, the debt of saving a life has a time limit. Once Charlene and the others have helped Tachibana Maya complete some tasks and feel that they can repay the debt of saving her life, it will probably not be so easy for Tachibana Maya to order them around again.

Therefore, before sending Charlene and the others on their mission, Tachibana Maya had to demonstrate her strength, at least to deter these beautiful assassins from having any thoughts of betrayal.

"Dong dong dong..."

Just as everyone was making their own plans, a knock on the door suddenly rang out, causing everyone's expression to change slightly.

The female assassins, led by Charlene, all turned to look at Tachibana Maya, casting knowing glances at her.

"Maya, open the door."

Hearing Suzuki Harumi's voice echo in her mind, Tachibana Maya's lips curled up slightly. She said to the blonde beauty closest to the door, "Alice, go open the door. Captain Aizen is here."

Upon hearing this, Alice, who was the weakest, quickly got up, walked to the door, and opened the warehouse door.

Thank you~

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, Aizen gave Alice a gentle smile and walked into the warehouse at a leisurely pace.

"So handsome!"

Looking at Aizen's tall figure, Alice felt a sudden flutter in her heart, sensing that the man before her was exceptionally gentle and kind.

Under the curious gazes of Charlene and the others, Aizen slowly sat down on the silver throne, smiling as he looked around at everyone.

When Aizen saw Charlene and Catherine beside her, his gaze lingered for a moment. He was surprised to find that the words "Check-in Available" were floating above the heads of these two beautiful assassins.

Lying on the soft bed in the resort hotel, Suzuki Seimei, who was focused on controlling Aizen's Stand, thought to himself, "Could they be important figures in some case?"

"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Aizen Sousuke. You can call me Captain Aizen."

Aizen first smiled gently at Charlene and the others, then pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said, "I'm easy to get along with. As long as you're willing to obey my orders and show me your loyalty, I'll forgive you even if you make a mistake by accident."

"..."

When Xia Lin and the others heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

Although Aizen's smile was gentle, his words were exceptionally domineering, making these arrogant and beautiful assassins feel inexplicably resistant.

When they were undergoing grueling training on the deserted island, Mrs. M seemed to have said something similar.

Now that Charlene and her friends have finally escaped Madam M's clutches, they don't want to fall into another trap.

Sensing Charlene and the others' resistance, Aizen said calmly and gently, "Don't worry, I'm a very fair person. If you're unwilling to serve me, I can give you the opportunity to leave freely. As long as you can defeat me, you can leave here and do whatever you want."

quiet!

As soon as Aizen finished speaking, the warehouse fell into silence.

Although Charlene and the others yearned for freedom, they did not believe that Aizen would be so kind. They suspected that Aizen was deliberately testing their loyalty.

Therefore, no one dared to make a move against Aizen, fearing that they would be the first to stick their neck out.

Charlene and the others' little schemes naturally didn't escape Aizen's eyes. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "You don't need to worry that I'm setting a trap. You are professional assassins, not sheep in a sheepfold."

If I can't make you accept defeat wholeheartedly, how can I dare to give you important positions in the future?

I'm going to count to ten now. If none of you make a move by the time I reach ten, then I'll take that as you've given up this opportunity.

"one two Three……"

Just as Aizen counted to three, Charlene, who was sitting to his right, suddenly grabbed a knife and stabbed it mercilessly into his neck.

"Ding!"

Just as the knife was about to pierce Aizen, his right hand suddenly shot out with lightning speed and flicked his finger lightly.

"Pfft!"

Charlene felt a tremendous force strike her, her right palm instantly went numb, and the knife in her hand flew out of control, embedding itself deeply into the warehouse wall, leaving only the handle sticking out.

"Oh!"
