Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

After giving some simple hints, Moriya Teiji looked at the ticking second hand on his watch and said, "Three minutes limit, start the timer now!"

"Oyamada Riki, Sora Sasuke, Konohori Ni? Is there any connection between these three names?"

Sonoko looked at the note for a while, her pretty face full of doubt. She couldn't help but cast a pleading look at Ran Mouri, only to find that Ran Mouri was no better off than her.

"Huh? These three people are all a year apart in age. Is it their zodiac sign? No! It's their Chinese zodiac sign!"

Suzuki Seimei's eyes darted around, and a knowing smile appeared on his face: "People born in 1945 (Showa 31) belong to the Monkey zodiac, followed by the Rooster and the Dog. Oh, I see!"

"It's Momotaro!"

The moment Suzuki Seimei guessed the answer, Conan's voice rang out.

Upon hearing Conan's words, Kogoro Mouri instinctively asked, "Momotaro? How could it be Momotaro?"

"Uncle, these are the zodiac signs of these people!"

Conan explained with a smile, "Their zodiac signs are monkey, rooster, and dog, and these three animals are all Momotaro's sidekicks~"

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Seeing Conan's smug expression, Suzuki Seimei shook his head helplessly.

This steamed egg dish is beyond saving!

Although Conan always says he wants to hide his true identity, he can't control his detective instincts when it comes to solving mysteries. He doesn't care about the occasion and just loves to show off.

Fortunately, Gin had long forgotten about Shinichi Kudo, otherwise, given his show-off personality, Gin would have caught him red-handed long ago.

Chapter 103 Late-Stage Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (Seeking votes and favorites)

"You got it right, little brother, you're really amazing!"

When Teiji Moriya saw that Conan, a mere child, had actually come up with the answer before the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Wow, that's impressive! He's still just a kid."

Upon hearing this, the guests present couldn't help but clap their hands, giving the clever child a warm round of applause.

(* ^ ▽ ^ *)

Faced with enthusiastic applause, Conan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

It seems like I've accidentally stole the spotlight again!

"Since little Conan answered correctly, please feel free to visit my exhibition hall!"

Teiji Moriya gently patted Conan's head, then turned to Ran Mouri and said, "Miss Ran, why don't you come too!"

"it is good."

Ran Mouri nodded, took Conan's hand, and followed Teiji Moriya into the exhibition room.

Seimei Suzuki had no interest in architecture and had no intention of going to the exhibition hall with Conan. Instead, he secretly observed the guests around him.

However, to Suzuki Haruaki's disappointment, he couldn't find a second person to sign in with, which made him feel a little strange.

Logically speaking, with Conan and Kogoro Mouri on the same side, and Teiji Moriya being a sign-in target, what kind of case should have occurred here?

If it is a murder case, then there should be at least two check-in targets: the victim and the murderer.

The reward for signing in from Teiji Moriya is a "plastic bomb," but this reward doesn't seem to come from a victim; it feels more like it comes from the murderer.

Could it be that the possible victim has already been killed by Teiji Moriya, which is why Seimei Suzuki couldn't find a second sign-in target?

"Xiao Lan, see you tomorrow."

"Ran-neechan, Conan, bye-bye~"

The afternoon tea party was coming to an end soon. Sonoko said goodbye to Ran and the others, then took Seimei Suzuki's hand and left.

What puzzled Suzuki Seimei was that he didn't hear any screams until the afternoon tea party ended.

It's reasonable that Conan and Kogoro Mouri both went out at the same time, yet neither of them caused any cases.

This isn't Ke Xue's style at all!

Although it was a good thing that no cases had occurred, Suzuki Seimei still felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, after leaving the Moriya Teiji family, Suzuki Seimei secretly contacted Tachibana Maya and asked her to send someone to keep an eye on Moriya Teiji.

At this point, Maya Tachibana had completely taken control of the Maple Leaf Society, and even the new leader of the Maple Leaf Society was just a puppet she had put on the surface.

As for the die-hard members of the Maple Leaf Society, Charlene and her group sent them all to their deaths to join the previous leader.

Although most of the more than 500 members of the Maple Leaf Society were a bunch of useless thugs, they were more than enough to be responsible for intelligence gathering.

At Maya Tachibana's command, more than a dozen street thugs from the Maple Leaf Society began to loiter around several streets near the Moriya Teiji residence.

……

Night slowly fell

Inside the castle's exhibition room, Teiji Moriya stared sadly at the model of the town protected by a glass case on the table, clenching his fists: "Shinichi Kudo! You're the one who caused all this, I can never forgive you!"

Teiji Moriya wrote to invite Shinichi Kudo to an afternoon tea party not out of goodwill, but to get revenge on Shinichi Kudo.

At the beginning of last year, Mayor Okamoto of Nishitama City proposed the "Nishitama Town Redevelopment Plan" and invited Teiji Moriya to design it.

Unfortunately, a few months ago, Mayor Okamoto accidentally hit and killed a woman with his car, leading to his arrest and imprisonment, and the "Nishitama Town Redevelopment Project" was thus suspended.

Logically speaking, the fact that Mayor Okamoto was arrested due to a car accident should not be blamed on Shinichi Kudo.

However, according to the information received by Teiji Moriya, Mayor Okamoto's eventual arrest was entirely caused by Shinichi Kudo.

Because Mayor Okamoto had his son in the passenger seat when he was driving, he was prepared to have his son take the blame in order to keep his position as mayor.

As long as Mayor Okamoto himself doesn't fall from power, even if his son is arrested and imprisoned, he can ensure that his son has a comfortable time in prison, and even find a way to get him out of prison early.

Even with someone willing to take the blame, the traffic police in charge of handling the case treated it as a regular traffic accident.

However, Mayor Okamoto was unlucky, as this incident happened to Shinichi Kudo.

After some reasoning, Shinichi Kudo quickly concluded that Mayor Okamoto was the real culprit.

When Mayor Okamoto's political enemies learned of this, they seized the opportunity to kick him while he was down, not only bringing him down but also sending him to prison.

Teiji Moriya spent over a year designing his vision of Nishitama Town, but just as construction was about to begin, Mayor Okamoto's sudden downfall caused all his efforts to be wasted.

It was precisely because of this incident that Teiji Moriya harbored deep resentment towards Shinichi Kudo, believing that he had ruined his life's work.

Teiji Moriya was extremely passionate about architectural design, meticulous in his work, and possessed an almost obsessive perfectionism.

To put it simply, Teiji Moriya is a severe perfectionist when it comes to architectural design.

Especially after he turned thirty, Teiji Moriya became fascinated with symmetrical architectural designs, believing that only perfectly symmetrical buildings are truly perfect.

Moreover, Moriya Teiji's original name was Moriya Sadaharu, but he changed it to Teiji later to maintain the symmetry of his name.

Ever since Moriya Teiji changed his name, he has become increasingly unable to tolerate the asymmetrical buildings he designed in his youth, and has even had the idea of ​​destroying them all.

Not long ago, Teiji Moriya successfully stole a batch of explosives from a Japanese gunpowder depot. He planned to use these explosives to blow up those "wrong" buildings.

Of course! While correcting the mistakes he made in his youth, Teiji Moriya also plans to take revenge on Shinichi Kudo.

Shinichi Kudo didn't attend the afternoon tea party today, which disappointed Teiji Moriya. However, he discovered an unexpected surprise: Shinichi Kudo's childhood friend, Ran Mouri!

Teiji Moriya learns from Ran Mouri that she and Shinichi Kudo will be going to Beika Cinema to watch a midnight movie on Saturday.

The Beika Cinema was designed by Teiji Moriya when he was young, so it's a good time to blow up Shinichi Kudo and the Beika Cinema together.

Chapter 104 The Young Freeloaders Go Online

Saturday, sunny

Dr. Agasa's house

"What? You're going on a date with Xiaolan tonight to see a movie?"

Upon hearing Conan's words, Professor Agasa subconsciously looked him up and down, then said with a speechless expression, "But how are you going to go on a date with Ran looking like this?"

e=(o｀*)))Alas...

"What could I do? When I see Xiaolan counting down the days to the calendar, with that expectant look on her face, I just can't refuse her!"

Conan sighed, then said expectantly, "Doctor, why don't you just make a robot that looks a lot like me, so it can go on a date with Ran in my place?"

puff--

Upon hearing this, Dr. Agasa spat out his coffee and said irritably, "If I could make a robot like that, I would already be a billionaire!"

"That's true."

Conan collapsed onto the sofa, utterly dejected. Even with his brilliant, idiotic brain working at full capacity, he had no idea how to handle tonight's date.

If there's really no other way, then I'll just have to break my promise.

However, just thinking about Ran Mouri's angry face made Conan shudder.

terrible!

"According to reliable sources, a large quantity of gunpowder containing ammonium nitrate was stolen from a gunpowder depot in Japan the day before yesterday. Police have deployed over a hundred officers to conduct the search..."

Watching the latest news broadcast on TV, Dr. Agasa said with a serious expression, "Gunpowder containing ammonium nitrate, isn't that the raw material for making plastic bombs? This matter could lead to a major disaster."

"That's right. If this gunpowder falls into the hands of some dangerous individuals, it could cause a major upheaval at any time."

"Ding ding ding..."

Upon hearing the sudden ringing of the landline, Conan quickly used the remote control to lower the volume of the television.

Hello, who is this?

"Is Shinichi Kudo here?"

As soon as Dr. Agasa finished speaking, a somewhat hoarse voice came through the microphone.

"Wait a mininute."
