Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Under the surprise interrogation by Inspector Megure and his team, the two kidnappers who were arrested quickly confessed to their motives.

It turns out that Miyahara Satoshi was once the leader of a gang of robbers. The three of them committed several robberies and stole a lot of money.

However, just a few months ago, one of their accomplices suddenly wanted to turn himself in, forcing Miyahara Satoshi to kill him to silence him.

What Miyahara Satoshi didn't expect was that the gunshot he fired to silence the witnesses was heard by Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina, who were passing by.

Minami Takayama and her friends mistook the gunshots for fireworks and incorporated the sound of fireworks into the lyrics of their new song.

Miyahara Satoshi, feeling guilty, worried that after Takayama Minami and the others released their new song, someone would discover his secret of murder, which is why he planned this kidnapping.

Unfortunately, his cleverness backfired, and he ended up in jail instead of getting ahead.

Niseko Ski Resort

"Winter is here, skiing is definitely the best thing to do, and I can even look for my Prince Charming while I'm at it, haha~"

"Sonoko, really."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri, dressed in a red and yellow ski suit, gave a helpless smile to her pretty face.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Seeing the somewhat smug Sonoko, Suzuki Seimei, standing not far away, shook his head speechlessly.

This girl with a crush on a guy is hopeless.

However, what Suzuki Seimei really wanted to complain about was the incredibly chaotic timeline of this world.

It felt like just two days ago we were on summer vacation, and now it's winter again.

That's absolutely outrageous!

Sonoko looked around and shook her head with some regret: "But then again, there are really few guests at the ski resort today. There are only five or six men, and they all have female companions with them."

"What does it matter?" Ran Mouri laughed. "This way we can concentrate on skiing!"

"Women with husbands speak with more confidence."

"Husband...Husband? Sonoko!"

Faced with Sonoko's teasing gaze, Ran Mouri blushed slightly and glared at him irritably.

"Shhhhh..."

Two figures in ski suits sped over and stopped next to Sonoko and the others.

One of the men, wearing black sunglasses and a blue-green ski suit, with short hair, flashed a bright white smile and greeted, "Hi! You two adorable little kittens~"

"If you don't mind, why don't you two come skiing with us?"

Another man, dressed in a brown ski suit and with dark skin, replied with a smile.

"What little kitten? What an annoying creature!"

Conan grimaced in displeasure when he saw someone daring to flirt with Ran Mouri.

(?ω?)

When Suzuki Seimei saw the man wearing sunglasses with the words "Check-in Available" floating above his head, his eyes lit up.

Suzuki Haruaki walked up to the man in sunglasses, raised his innocent and cute face, and pretended to be curious as he tugged at the man's hand and asked, "Hey, you two uncles, who are you?"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Kohei Shida. You are rewarded with two years of [Lifespan]. You can claim it at any time."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei nodded silently.

As expected of a man who dares to flirt with the Grim Reaper's woman, you're quite brave!

Very well~ You're the victim this time!

Kohei Shimoda replied with a smile, "We are the two ski instructors here."

"Ski instructors? Then your skiing skills must be very good~ That's great, Xiaolan and I are beginners."

Perhaps because it's rare for handsome men to strike up a conversation with Sonoko, she excitedly agreed before Ran could even speak.

(′Д(︶︹︺)

Suzuki Seimei sighed inwardly, suddenly feeling an urge to pretend he didn't know Sonoko.

Please, you're the second young lady of the Suzuki family, can't you be a little more reserved?

"Huh? Aren't these Suzuki and Mori?"

Just as Sonoko was talking to Kohei Shimoda, a somewhat surprised voice suddenly came from behind them.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko and Ran Mouri instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

The person speaking was wearing a purple ski suit, with delicate features. She was a beautiful woman with glasses and shoulder-length wavy hair.

"you……"

Sonoko and the others stared at the newcomer for a while, then couldn't help but exclaim happily, "You're Yonehara-sensei!"

Seeing this, Kohei Shimoda asked somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Yonehara, do you know them?"

“Yes! These two are students I used to teach at Teitan Elementary School, Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri,” Ms. Yonehara nodded slightly.

"What...what a coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, the dark-skinned man standing next to Shimoda Kohei scratched his head awkwardly.

"Ms. Yonehara, do you know these two ski instructors?"

"Ski instructor?"

When Ms. Yonehara heard Sonoko's words, she was slightly taken aback at first, then glanced at her two colleagues who looked embarrassed, and shook her head with a smile, saying, "These two are not ski instructors, they are my colleagues at Beika Elementary School."

"Colleagues? So these two are also elementary school teachers?"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko and Ran Mouri looked at Kohei Shimoda and the others with somewhat strange expressions.

?(????ω????)?

The two male teachers, whose vests were ripped off on the spot, awkwardly scratched their feet in the face of Sonoko and the others' strange looks, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.

"Hmm? And who are these two adorable little brothers?"

Sensing the increasingly awkward atmosphere, the female teacher who had come skiing with Mr. Yonehara shifted her gaze to Suzuki Haruaki and Conan, subtly changing the subject.

“This little guy is my younger brother, Suzuki Haruaki.”

Sonoko smiled and pulled Suzuki Haruaki to her side, patting his head as she did so. Then she pointed to Conan and introduced him, "This little rascal is called Edogawa Conan, and he's temporarily staying at Ran's house."

"I never knew Sonoko had such a cute younger brother!"

Looking at Suzuki Haruaki's adorable little face, Ms. Yonehara couldn't help but reach out and pat his head.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in with Akiko Yonehara. You are rewarded with one [Whip of Vengeance], which you can claim at any time."

Equipment Name: Whip of Vengeance

Based on the name and attribute description of the "Whip of Vengeance," Suzuki Seimei can basically conclude that Yonehara Akiko is the culprit in the case, and it is probably for revenge.

Since Sonoko and the others had a good relationship with Akiko Yonehara in the past, and because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Akiko Yonehara simply invited them to visit her newly rented luxury villa.

Through Akiko Yonehara's introduction, Seimei Suzuki and the others also learned the names of the other three teachers.

The two male teachers who were chatting with Sonoko and the others earlier, the one wearing sunglasses is named Kohei Shimoda, and he is a teacher in Class 1, Grade 5 at Beika Elementary School.

The dark-skinned man's name was Ryuichi Sakai, and he was a physical education teacher.

As for the female teacher who skied with Akiko Yonehara, her name is Misato Nakamura, and she is the school doctor at Beika Elementary School.

After arriving at the luxury villa in a van, everyone chose an empty room to stay in temporarily.

Some watched TV, others chatted, and no one seemed bored.

Perhaps because Sonoko and the others hadn't seen Akiko Yonehara for a long time, they had so much to talk about that they chatted until it got dark.

As night fell, a cold wind blew outside the villa, and heavy snowflakes began to fall.

Standing by the window in the hall, Suzuki Haru looked at the snow scene outside and thought to herself, "A luxurious villa in a secluded place, coupled with this snow falling all around, is truly an excellent location for murder."

"Strange, it's already eight o'clock, why hasn't Sugiyama-sensei arrived yet?"

On the other side, Akiko Nakaba glanced at the clock on the wall and couldn't help but say with some worry, "The snow outside is falling so heavily, could something have happened?"

"Who is Sugiyama-sensei?" Ran and Sonoko asked curiously.

"Mr. Sugiyama is our school's music teacher. He said he would come along this time, but we haven't seen him yet..."

"Ding-dong~ding-dong~"

Before Akiko Yonehara could finish speaking, the doorbell of the villa suddenly rang.

"It must be Mr. Sugiyama. I'll go open the door."

Upon hearing the doorbell ring, Nakamura Misato hurried to the villa entrance, smiling as she opened the door. "We've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Sugiyama..."

When Nakamura Misato saw the person's face clearly, the smile on her face froze instantly.

The man standing at the door was not the Sugiyama-sensei that Nakamura Miri had mentioned, but a man with a gloomy appearance wearing a gray trench coat.

"It's been a long time. I didn't expect to see you all here." The man in gray smiled meaningfully when he saw the four teachers present.

(°Д°)

Upon seeing this, the expressions of Akiko Yonehara and the other three changed drastically.
