Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"Hey hey hey..."

Hearing Kogoro Mouri's complaints, Seimei Suzuki and the others were not angry. Instead, they showed some embarrassed smiles.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's nonchalant attitude, Conan couldn't help but remind him, "Uncle Mouri, get up quickly! We have guests."

"Have we had guests?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri quickly sat up and then noticed a strange man standing at the door.

"Hello, Mr. Mori, my name is Masao Koda. I've come here hoping you can help me find my sister..."

"Mr. Koda, please have a seat. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

Kogoro Mouri first gestured to Masao Koda to sit down, then turned to Ran Mouri and instructed, "Ran, quickly go and pour two cups of tea."

"it is good."

"Mr. Koda, may I ask when your sister went missing?"

Koda Masao clenched his fist and said, "My sister has been missing for a month, and I suspect that she has been murdered by a guy named Watanuki Yoshiichi."

"Yoshiichi Watanuki?!"

Upon hearing this name, both Suzuki Haruaki and Conan's expressions changed simultaneously.

Conan asked curiously, "Uncle, is this Yoshikazu Watanuki you mentioned the one who lives next to the construction site?"

"That's right, it's that guy."

Kogoro Mouri asked with a puzzled look, "Conan, how do you know about that person?"

"Because we were playing baseball there before, and Seimei accidentally hit the baseball into that man's yard. That uncle was very fierce and wouldn't let us go into his yard to look for the baseball."

Upon hearing this, Koda Masao said with absolute certainty, "I knew it! The reason that guy wouldn't let you into the yard is because he hid my sister's body in his yard."

"Mr. Koda, please calm down. Let's explain things step by step, shall we?"

With Kogoro Mori's reassurance, Masao Koda regained his composure and took out a photograph from his pocket, handing it to him: "Mr. Mori, this is a photograph of my sister, Sanae Koda."

"Your younger sister is really beautiful!"

Looking at the short-haired beauty surrounded by flowers in the photo, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but sigh.

Compared to Koda Masao, who has a big nose and a somewhat fierce appearance, Koda Sanae in the photo is definitely a dignified and elegant beauty, making one wonder if they are really siblings.

"She's really a stunning beauty!"

“She doesn’t look like this uncle at all, and her skin is much whiter.”

"Yes, yes."

Upon hearing this, Conan and the others curiously gathered around Kogoro Mouri to watch, and even started discussing it recklessly.

(╬￣俣)＝○# (￣#)3￣)

"Dong dong dong..."

With veins bulging on his forehead, Kogoro Mouri raised his iron fist without hesitation and gave each of Conan and his two companions a large red envelope.

it hurts--

"Serves you right!"

Seeing the large bumps on Conan, Genta, and Mitsuhiko's heads, Suzuki Seimei smiled with a hint of schadenfreude.

Who told these three guys to be so arrogant? Did they really think Kogoro Mouri wouldn't fight back?

It's important to know that in the original storyline, Conan was hit by Kogoro Mouri just as many times as Kogoro Mouri was pricked with needles.

Therefore, when Suzuki Seimei saw Genta and Mitsuhiko daring to join Conan in the fun, he knew they were in for trouble, so he decisively stopped Ayumi, who was about to give herself away.

Koda Masao said with a sad expression, "Mr. Mori, my sister only came to Tokyo six years ago and works at Tokyo Securities."

Two years ago, she began to take charge of the sales department of the Mihua branch.

Unexpectedly, on the evening of the 8th of last month, she said she was going to meet a client and left the company, after which no one knew where she went.

"Was the client your sister met the same Yoshikazu Watanuki?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

“That’s right! It’s that guy. I arrived in Tokyo two days after my sister went missing, and I only found out about it from my sister’s company the next day.”

"Do you know approximately what time your sister left the company that day?"

"Around 8 p.m., her colleague told me that after my sister arrived at Mian Guanyi's house, she went straight home."

Kogoro Mouri frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Around 8 pm, why are you going to a client's house so late?"

“I heard from my sister’s colleague that it was because the stocks that Mikan Yoshiichi bought had dropped a lot, so he wanted my sister to compensate him for the money he lost.”

"In other words, this person couldn't afford to pay the penalty, so he did have a motive." Kogoro Mouri thought for a moment and said, "After your sister disappeared, did you see this Yoshikazu Watanuki?"

“Yes, I went there with my sister’s branch manager on the afternoon of the 11th of last month, but Yoshikazu Mikan said that my sister did not go to his house on the evening of the 8th.”

Koda Masao clenched his fists and said with absolute certainty, "I'm sure that guy is lying, because my sister clearly called me that night and said she was going to Watanuki Yoshi's house to apologize. So it must have been that guy who killed my sister and buried her in his yard."

"Uncle, why do you think that Yoshikazu Watanuki would bury your sister in his yard?" Conan couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard Masao Koda's certain tone.

"Because Yoshiichi Watanuki didn't get a driver's license, he definitely wouldn't hide my sister's body too far away."

Additionally, around 2 AM on the 8th, an office worker passing by Mian Guanyi's house heard sounds of digging holes with a shovel coming from inside.

"Digging a cave?"

“There was a construction crew working nearby from midnight to 3 a.m. that night, so that guy Yoshikazu Mikan must have used the noise from the construction to cover up the sound of him digging a hole with a shovel and buried my sister in his yard.”

"I see. Does the police know about this?" Kogoro Mouri asked, stroking his chin.

"Of course I called the police! But the commuter who was passing by was very drunk that night, so the police determined that he was not capable of testifying. In the end, the police just called Yoshikazu Miyakushi over for some routine questioning."

As Koda Masao spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fist. If those police officers hadn't been so incompetent, he wouldn't have bothered to ask the detective for help.

"Mr. Koda, what do you want me to do? Help me find your sister's body?"

Koda Masao said emotionally, "Mr. Mori, ever since my sister went missing, that guy Watanuki Yoshiichi has been staying at home all the time."

He only goes to Beika Hospital for a health check-up around 10 PM every Saturday night, so I'd like to ask you to help me sneak into his house while he's away and deduce the location of my sister's body.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept this request, because trespassing into someone else's yard is illegal, and even as a detective, I can't do that."

When Kogoro Mouri is investigating extramarital affairs, he will secretly follow his targets, but he will only follow them to places like shopping malls and hotels, and he will never break into their homes without permission.

Seeing the disappointed look on Koda Masao's face, Kogoro Mouri shook his head and said, "The most important thing is that your sister has been missing for a month. Even if the Watanuki family really left any evidence, they have probably already disposed of it. I can't help you find your sister's body in a short time."

"..."

Koda Masao was silent for a moment, then took back his sister's photo and said with a disappointed look, "I understand. I'm really sorry to bother you when you're so busy. I'll take my leave now."

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Koda Masao was about to get up and leave, Suzuki Haruaki suddenly called out to him.

Suzuki Seimei raised his head and looked directly into Koda Masao's eyes, saying, "Uncle Koda, although Uncle Mori is unwilling to accept your request, our Junior Detective League is willing to accept it. We can help you find your sister's body."

"The Junior Detective Club?"

"Don't underestimate our Junior Detective Club. We've solved several cases for the police, and our fees are very reasonable. After we're done, you can treat us to a big meal."

When Genta and the others heard Suzuki Haruaki's words, they were slightly taken aback at first, and then they exclaimed in unison, "That's right! Let's leave this matter to our Junior Detective League."

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

Looking at the five little ones in front of him, Koda Masao felt that it was a bit unreliable, but he had no other better choice, so he finally nodded.

"The Junior Detective League, let's go!"

Watching Suzuki Haruaki and the others leave, Ran Mouri asked with some concern, "Dad, is it really okay to entrust this task to these children?"

Kogoro Mouri waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! With Tamaka and Ryuichi following them in the shadows, their safety is definitely guaranteed. I will also investigate this case secretly."

Although Koda Masao did not produce any evidence that Watanuki Yoshiichi had committed murder, based on the conversation just now, Kogoro Mouri still felt that his words were more credible.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri decided to investigate the case, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to break into Yoshikazu Watanuki's house directly. Instead, he would first find out more details from other people.

After all, Masao Koda wasn't a professional, and he might have missed some important clues.

"Seimei, what should we do next?" After arriving at the door of the Watanuki family's house, Ayumi looked at Suzuki Seimei with a questioning gaze.

Yuan Tai said somewhat guiltily, "Although I agreed very readily just now, I'm a little scared when I think about that fierce uncle's appearance."

(￣ ー￣)

Seeing that Genta and the others were starting to back down, Conan was speechless for a moment. He stroked his chin and began to think of a solution.

If Yoshikazu Watanuki were more agreeable, Seimei Suzuki and the others would have already retrieved the baseball, so getting into the yard to find the body is indeed a significant challenge.

"Don't worry, just watch me. I've prepared a secret weapon."

As soon as Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, he pulled out a slingshot and a purple bead about the size of a thumb from his pocket.

Mitsuhiko couldn't help but ask curiously, "Seimei, what is this?"

"This is called a chaos bomb. It's a secret weapon that I had custom-made at a high price. When it explodes, it releases a cloud of chaotic spray."

Haruaki Suzuki explained, "If someone accidentally inhales the confusion spray, they will fall into a state of confusion."

Although it only lasted three minutes, that should have been enough for us to find out the location of Uncle Koda's sister's body.

In fact, the Confusion Bullet in Suzuki Seimei's hands can only put the target into a confused state, which is similar to a state where he cannot distinguish friend from foe. It is suitable for use in group battles.

The reason Suzuki Seimei took out the Chaos Bomb was to conceal the "Word Spirit Technique" he was about to use.

Furthermore, once the target is in a state of confusion, their mental defense will also decrease significantly. Suzuki Seimei only needs to consume a small amount of mental energy to unleash the true power of the "Word Spirit Technique".

"Genta, go ring the doorbell and lure that guy out."

"Oh!"
