Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Upon hearing this, Sonoko unconsciously moved closer to Ran Mouri and said nervously, "Ran, didn't you feel something was wrong? He seemed to have seen something terrifying just now."

"It's terrifying, Sonoko, don't scare me! You know I really have no way to deal with those things..."

Ran Mouri stiffened, forced a smile, and then bent down to pick up Seimei Suzuki.

With Suzuki Seimei as her mascot, Ran Mouri inexplicably felt a greater sense of security.

As Suzuki Seimei looked at Shimoda Kohei, who had been scared to death, his starry eyes were filled with helplessness.

To be honest, Suzuki Seimei really didn't intend to scare Shimoda Kohei to death. He just wanted to make Shimoda Kohei reveal a weakness so that Yonehara Akiko could take revenge.

At first, Suzuki Seimei intended to stop Yonehara Akiko from seeking revenge. It wasn't that he didn't want to seek justice for Mochizuki Minako, but rather that he didn't want Yonehara Akiko to ruin herself in the name of revenge.

But when Suzuki Seimei saw Sugiyama-sensei's body, he knew it was all too late; Yonehara-sensei had already begun her revenge plan.

Since Akiko Yonehara has already killed someone, there's not much difference between killing one or two.

With Conan around, Akiko Yonehara is definitely not going to escape jail time.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei became too lazy to stop Yonehara-sensei anymore, and instead prepared to secretly help her.

Unfortunately, Suzuki Seimei did not expect that Shimoda Kohei was so timid that he would be scared to death.

"Click-click-click..."

After a brief moment of surprise, Mori Atsushi came to his senses and hurriedly took out his camera to take pictures of the two corpses.

From the lipstick writing on Sugiyama's hand and Shimoda Kohei's unusual reaction, Mori Atsushi was certain that the suicide of Mochizuki Minako back then was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Mori Atsushi had already thought of tomorrow's news headlines, such as: police incompetence driving victims to become avengers, whether it's a distortion of human nature or moral decay, etc.

After Mori took the photos, everyone recovered from the shock of what had just happened and quickly dialed the police.

However, because it was snowing heavily outside and it was already dark, the police could only arrive the next morning.

While everyone was calling the police, Conan was busy running around, searching for evidence left behind by the murderer.

Through Conan's careful search, he quickly found several inconspicuous clues and evidence, and confirmed the identity of the murderer.

"The evidence has been found, but what was the killer's motive? What exactly happened three years ago?"

Conan pondered for a while before finally finding Suzuki Haruaki and asking him about what happened three years ago.

When Conan asked him questions, Suzuki Seimei did not hide anything and told him about Mochizuki Minako's suicide years ago.

After learning the whole story, Conan's eyes flashed with realization, and he muttered to himself, "So that's how it is. She wanted to avenge her student."

"Conan, do you already know who the culprit is?"

"That's right, the murderer should be Mr. Yonehara."

"Conan, although Ms. Yonehara committed murder for revenge, it was a violation of the law. The reason she chose to take revenge was because the police were too incompetent."

Suzuki Harumi paused mid-sentence, then earnestly suggested, "If possible, I still hope you can persuade her to turn herself in instead of sending her directly to prison. After all, Sonoko-neechan and Ran-neechan greatly admire Yonehara-sensei."

"……it is good."

Conan paused for a moment after hearing this, but finally nodded.

Given that Conan and Suzuki Seimei are just kids, the chances of them successfully persuading Yonehara-sensei to turn herself in are slim, and they might even make things worse.

In order to mitigate Yonehara-sensei's crime, Conan ultimately used Shinichi Kudo's identity to call Ran Mouri and tell her the reasoning behind the case.

After learning about this, Ran Mouri told Sonoko about it, and the two of them went to find Ms. Yonehara and persuaded her to turn herself in to the police.

The fact that Ms. Yonehara committed murder to avenge her student shows that she was a very responsible teacher.

Therefore, faced with Ran and Sonoko's persuasion, Ms. Yonehara finally smiled helplessly and agreed to their request to turn themselves in to the police.

After Ms. Yonehara surrendered to the police, Ran Mouri and Sonoko began to use their connections to help her mitigate her crime as much as possible.

Under the island nation's laws, the maximum penalty for murder is death, followed by life imprisonment or imprisonment for more than five years. However, there are also cases where the sentence is reduced to less than five years due to the circumstances.

Under normal circumstances, if only one person is killed, the sentence is usually between 13 and 20 years.

Only those who kill two or more people will be sentenced to death or life imprisonment.

When Eri Kisaki learns from Ran Mouri that Mr. Yonehara committed the murder to avenge his students, she volunteers to defend him.

Thanks to Eri Kisaki's reasoned arguments and Yonehara-sensei's voluntary surrender, she was ultimately sentenced to only three years.

As Yonehara-sensei was sent to prison, Sonoko used her connections to speak to the prison warden, ensuring that Yonehara-sensei would not be bullied by other inmates after entering the prison.

If Mr. Yonehara behaves well in prison, his sentence may be further reduced. He might only need to serve a year or two before being released and able to start a new life.

In addition, Sonoko promised Yonehara-sensei that once she was released from prison, she could invite her to work for her company, so she wouldn't have to worry about finding a job in the future.

Sonoko's actions naturally did not escape the notice of Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Tomoko, but the parents did not say much about it.

For someone of Suzuki Shiro's stature, it's impossible to simply define a person's good or bad character using the law.

Although Ms. Yonehara committed murder, there were reasons behind it, which actually shows that she was a good teacher who valued loyalty and affection.

To some extent, Suzuki Shiro and the others would not look down on Yonehara-sensei; on the contrary, they would appreciate her loyal and affectionate character.

That's why Suzuki Shiro and the others didn't stop Sonoko's actions and tacitly approved of her friendship with Yonehara-sensei.

If Ms. Yonehara were a heinous criminal, given Suzuki Shiro and his friends' personalities, they would have made her disappear without a trace long ago to prevent her from corrupting their precious daughter.

After Yonehara was arrested and imprisoned, Mori Atsushi also published news about the case, and in the news report, he described in detail the cause and effect of the case.

When people learned that Mochizuki Minako had not committed suicide, but was murdered by Sugiyama-sensei and Shimoda Kohei, they couldn't help but continue to curse the police for their incompetence.

Aside from a very small minority who believe that Yonehara-sensei should pay with his life for murder, most people actually express great admiration for Yonehara-sensei's actions.

Those students who were taught by Mr. Yonehara were especially grateful to have such a protective and kind teacher.

Chapter 116 The Glasses of an Ordinary Person

Mihana General Hospital

"This hospital is huge!"

That's exactly what I meant!

The glass automatic doors of the hospital lobby slowly opened, and the Junior Detective League, led by Suzuki Haruaki and Conan, walked into the lobby at a leisurely pace.

Suzuki Haruaki glanced around the lobby, then turned to Conan and asked, "Conan, which room is Uncle Mori staying in?"

"I don't know either. I'll go to the nurses' station and ask someone. You guys wait here for me, I'll be right back." Conan said, and jogged towards the nearest nurses' station.

"what?"

Just after Conan left, Suzuki Haruaki's attention was suddenly drawn to a father and daughter who had just entered from outside.

The father was wearing a brown suit and black-rimmed glasses, and looked to be in his thirties.

The daughter was about the same age as Suzuki Seimei and the others, with a ponytail, wearing a red dress and a green coat.

However, what truly caught Suzuki Seimei's eye was the three large characters "Check-in Available" floating above his father's head.

Taking advantage of the moment when the father and daughter walked past him, Suzuki Haruaki subtly reached out and touched the man with his finger.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Sekiguchi Yoshio. You are rewarded with a pair of [Ordinary Person Glasses], which you can claim at any time."

Equipment Name: Ordinary Person's Glasses

Type: Jewelry

Quality: Normal

Effect: It can significantly reduce the wearer's presence and charm, making them appear as an ordinary person in the eyes of others.

Note: This is just an ordinary pair of glasses.

After reviewing the attributes of [Ordinary Person Glasses], Suzuki Seimei revealed a somewhat amused smile.

Although the equipment's attributes are average, it is very suitable for actions such as camouflage.

In fact, the glasses worn by Conan and Kid have a similar effect; once they put on the glasses, even childhood friends can't recognize each other.

"I found out, it's room 503."

Just as Suzuki Haruaki was wondering if another case was about to occur, Conan, who had gone to ask for directions, suddenly ran back.

"Seimei, let's go!"

Hearing Conan's words, Ayumi and the others smiled and walked towards the elevator not far away, and Suzuki Seimei had no choice but to follow.

"This should be the place. Look at the nameplate on the door; it even has Uncle Mori's name on it."

Following the direction Conan was pointing, one could see that on the doorplate of one of the wards, the names of three patients were written in order, from top to bottom: Akabane Itsuki, Sekiguchi Daisaburo, and Mori Kogoro.

"Uncle Mori, we've come to see you."

As soon as Suzuki Seimei pushed open the door, he saw Kogoro Mouri lying on the hospital bed near the door with his right leg bandaged.

"Falling down the stairs and twisting my leg, how embarrassing!" Genta muttered unconsciously.

Mitsuhiko shook his head and said, "That's right~ and it's all for Yoko Okino's concert."

"Uncle Mori, you need to be more careful when you go downstairs in the future~" Ayumi kindly reminded him.

"Are you bothered?"

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Seimei Suzuki and the others, and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "You guys just came out to have fun and happened to stop by to see me. It's not your place to lecture me, you brats."

(′^ω^`)

Hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, the five little ones smiled sheepishly, "You're right, we're going to play soccer in the nearby park later."

"Hahaha……"

Upon seeing this, the gray-haired old man on the next bed couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mr. Mori, even if these children just happened to come to visit, there's nothing wrong with that. It's good enough that they came to see you."

The gray-haired old man paused mid-sentence, a look of reminiscence on his face, and said, "When I was first admitted to the hospital, many people came to see me every day, but in the last few days, apart from my son, no one else has come."
