Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Sometimes Conan even feels that Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko are true love, and that his son is just an accident.

Otherwise, how could parents from normal families possibly leave their son alone in an island nation while they themselves go to live in the United States and travel all over the world from time to time?

"That makes sense. I've heard that occasional arguments between couples can actually strengthen their relationship."

Professor Agasa, the bachelor, nodded in agreement, then asked with a hint of gossip, "But speaking of which, how are things going between you and Ran lately?"

“What else can I do? Every time I call home, Xiaolan gets angry and keeps asking me when I can come back.”

Conan, halfway through his sentence, said somewhat stubbornly, "I always want to tell her that if I weren't forced to, I wouldn't want to see her every day."

"Don't say that~ You should put the case aside sometimes and take Xiaolan to places you both like to go. Autumn is a season for romance~"

"The season of love...sigh..."

A flicker of interest crossed Conan's eyes, but he quickly sighed.

Even if he wanted to go on a date with Ran, he would have to wait until he turned back into Shinichi Kudo. He couldn't go on a date with Ran as an elementary school student, could he?

"Alright, Doctor, it's getting late, so I'll head back now."

Conan didn't stay at Professor Agasa's house for long before returning to the Mouri Detective Agency with his schoolbag on his back.

"I'm back……"

"It's none of your business, woman!"

As soon as Conan opened the door to the Mouri Detective Agency, he heard Kogoro Mouri's roar, which made him unconsciously shrink back.

On the other end of the phone, Eri Kisaki said somewhat unhappily, "What kind of attitude is this? They were just trying to help you get more business by introducing you to a client."

"Who asked you, woman, to meddle in my business?"

"In that case, I won't introduce any more jobs to you in the future. But if you ever find yourself unemployed and struggling to make ends meet, don't blame me, Mr. Great Detective."

"Thank you for being so nosy and worrying so much about me, Miss Attorney!"

After finishing his sentence, Kogoro Mouri hung up the phone, grumbling, but he was still somewhat happy inside.

Although Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki have been separated for ten years, their feelings for each other are still very deep.

Therefore, every now and then, the couple would find various reasons to call each other and have a fight to make sure the other was safe and sound.

To put it simply, all separations not aimed at divorce are just a way of showing affection.

The main reason Kogoro Mouri agreed to the separation was because he knew very well that Eri Kisaki was a career-oriented, strong woman.

If Eri Kisaki had been forced to stay home as a full-time housewife, she certainly wouldn't have been truly happy, and she wouldn't be the lawyer queen she is today.

Of course!

Eri Kisaki's terrible cooking skills may also have played a small part in the reason.

"This couple is arguing too; it really is the season for romance."

Conan silently complained to himself, then picked up his newly bought mystery book and sat down on the sofa to start reading.

Two hours later, Ran Mouri, who had gone shopping with Sonoko, returned to the Mouri Office with a light step.

"I am back."

After pushing open the door, Ran Mouri glanced around instinctively, only to find that someone was missing from the house. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Dad, where's Conan?"

"That kid fell asleep on the sofa."

"Honestly, why are you sleeping here? It's already autumn, you'll easily catch a cold if you sleep here."

Ran Mouri walked to the sofa, just about to bend down and carry Conan back to his room to sleep, when her gaze involuntarily fell on his glasses. She shook her head helplessly and said, "This kid is really something, sleeping with his glasses on. Doesn't he feel uncomfortable?"

As Ran Mouri spoke, she reached out and took off Conan's glasses.

The seal is broken!

(°Д°)

The moment Ran Mouri took off Conan's glasses, she froze on the spot upon seeing that incredibly familiar little face.

boom!!!

A thunderbolt struck Ran Mouri's mind, giving rise to an unbelievable thought.

Why does this face look so much like Shinichi when he was a kid?

"Ah~~"

Conan, seemingly sensing something in his sleep, slowly opened his drowsy eyes. Looking at Ran Mouri so close to him, he subconsciously touched his stomach and said, "Ran-neechan, why are you so late? I'm so hungry!"

"you……"

What's wrong with me?

When Conan saw Ran Mouri's expression, as if she had seen a ghost, he was slightly taken aback at first, then noticed the glasses in her hand, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Glasses! Glasses! Give me back my glasses, I can't see anything..."

Conan hurriedly pretended to be flustered, snatched the glasses back from Ran Mouri's hand, and put them back on.

Beauty sealed!

The moment Conan put on his glasses, Ran Mouri suddenly felt that he didn't look so much like Shinichi when he was a child anymore. However, she couldn't help but ask, "Conan, you always seem to be wearing glasses, whether you're taking a shower or sleeping. Why is that?"

Although Conan was panicking inside, he still replied nonchalantly, "Why else? Because I'm nearsighted~ and I can't see things clearly without my glasses, and I feel very insecure."

If Ran really found out that I am Shinichi Kudo, and that we even took a bath together, she would definitely kill me with karate.

Heavens above! Someone please save me!

"Excuse me, is this the Mori Detective Agency?"

Perhaps because Conan is truly God's favorite son, just as Ran Mouri was about to press him for answers, a gentle voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Conan subconsciously turned his head and saw a woman wearing a light yellow suit and skirt standing at the entrance of the agency.

The woman appeared to be in her thirties, with fair skin and an elegant demeanor. Judging from her attire, she was a wealthy woman from a well-to-do family.

However, her brows revealed an undeniable weariness and sadness, clearly indicating that she had encountered some serious trouble.

Upon seeing guests arrive, Ran Mouri didn't bother to question Conan anymore and quickly went to make two cups of coffee.

Under Kogoro Mouri's questioning, the visitor quickly explained her purpose.

The short-haired woman in the yellow suit is named Shichie Tsukumo, and her husband is the world-renowned magician, Motoyasu Tsukumo.

A week ago, Motoyasu Tsukumo was found dead in the basement of his house. Although the police concluded that it was suicide, Shichie Tsukumo refused to believe that her husband would commit suicide.

Tomorrow is the birthday of Tsukumo Motoyasu's beloved daughter, Tsukumo Fumino, and he started preparing her birthday present a month ago. There's really no reason for him to commit suicide before then.

In order to find out the real cause of her husband's death, Shichie Tsukumo first sought help from Eri Kisaki, and then, on Eri's recommendation, came to the Mouri Detective Agency.

“In that case, please take me to the crime scene, Madam. Although a week has passed, we may still be able to find some overlooked clues there.”

Although Kogoro Mouri outwardly shows disdain for Eri Kisaki, he actually dotes on his wife very much.

Since Shichie Kujo was a guest recommended by Eri Kisaki, even if he hasn't found anything suspicious yet, he still has to take it seriously. He can't let his wife down.

Ran Mouri, who had begun to suspect Conan's identity, also expressed great interest in the case and took Conan with her to follow along.

Of course! Ran Mouri's real purpose was to observe Conan's reasoning ability.

If Conan demonstrates extraordinary reasoning abilities during the investigation later, then Ran Mouri will be able to determine his identity.

Shinichi Kudo, prepare to die!

Led by Shichiko Kujo, Kogoro Mouri and his companions soon arrived at a luxurious manor.

"Sister Xiaolan!"

Just as Ran Mouri was about to enter the manor, a clear and melodious voice suddenly came from behind her.

"???"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri instinctively turned around to look.

Kurosaki Tamaka was holding Suzuki Seimei's little hand as they walked towards them. Suzuki Seimei was holding a string of takoyaki balls and waving his little hand happily.

"It's saved!"

Upon seeing Suzuki Haruaki, Conan's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Sister Yuhua, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Kurosaki Tamaka replied with a smile, "Because the young master suddenly wanted to eat fried skewers from the nearby fried skewer shop, I brought him here to buy some. I didn't expect to run into you here by chance."

(* ^ ▽ ^ *)

Facing Ran Mouri's somewhat amused gaze, Seimei Suzuki put on an embarrassed smile, but inwardly he thought to himself, "There aren't that many coincidences. I came all this way in the middle of the night."

Suzuki Haruaki's presence here was certainly not for fried skewers, but because he had received a message from a member of "Raku" and had come specifically to participate in the investigation of the case.

In his previous life, Conan was known as the "Death God Elementary School Student," and that wasn't just something netizens made up; he earned it through sheer brutality.

In order to get more sign-in rewards, Suzuki Seimei has been trying to get involved in the various cases triggered by Conan.

Unfortunately, Suzuki Seimei is not Conan, and cannot be by Conan's side every day, so he inevitably misses many cases.

Missing a case means losing at least one sign-in reward, which amounts to hundreds of millions of yuan.

Every time he thought of this, Suzuki Seimei felt a heartache so intense he could hardly breathe.

Therefore, after Suzuki Haruaki established the Tokyo branch of the Raikou Detective Agency, he had someone secretly keep an eye on the Mori Detective Agency.

Whenever a case arises that requires both Kogoro Mouri and Conan to be on the case, the members of the Law Enforcement Network will immediately relay the information to Haruaki Suzuki.

Shortly after Shichiko Kujo and Kogoro Mouri left the Mouri Detective Agency, Seimei Suzuki received a message from Maya Tachibana, which is why he insisted on going out for fried skewers in the middle of the night, hoping to bump into Conan and the others.

With the people of the Net secretly keeping watch, Suzuki Seimei, while unable to participate in every case triggered by Conan, can at least guarantee a participation rate of over 70%, which is perfect.

Conan had already sensed Ran's suspicions about him and was worried about how to dispel them when Suzuki Haruaki appeared as his savior.
