Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Unable to resist Xiaohui's enthusiastic persuasion, Suzuki Seimei had no choice but to change into theatrical costume and transform into an ancient nobleman.

"Conan, why don't you give it a try!"

After changing into his costume, Suzuki Seimei saw Conan still standing there in a daze, a wicked smile spreading across his face. He then handed Conan a set of female opera costume and headdress.

Oh my god (‵o′)凸

You stinky Seimei, you did this on purpose!

Seeing the undisguised mockery in Suzuki Seimei's eyes, Conan roared inwardly and hid behind Ran Mouri, pleading, "Ran-neechan, let's go back quickly!"

"Conan..."

Ran Mouri glanced down at Conan, a slight smile playing on her lips, then shoved him in front of Haruaki Suzuki, saying with a beaming smile, "You should try everything!"

"Yamete, yamete, yamete..."

Despite Conan's ineffective protests, he was ultimately dressed up as a beautiful doll by Suzuki Seimei and Mouri Ran.

"Conan is so cute~"

Seeing Conan dressed in women's clothing with his face flushed, Ran and Sonoko couldn't help but cover their cheeks and reveal maternal smiles.

It's unbearable to repair!

Conan noticed Suzuki Haruaki's gloating expression and clenched his fists in exasperation.

It's one thing for others not to know their identities, but Suzuki Haruaki clearly knows his true identity, yet he deliberately brought him women's clothing, obviously wanting to embarrass him.

If that's the case, then let's destroy it!

Let's die together!

Conan suddenly flashed a bright smile and coaxed in a devilish tone, "Sonoko-neechan, if Seimei dressed up as a girl, he'd definitely be cuter than me!"

)Д(

Oh no! You scoundrel tricked me!

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Haruaki's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously took a few steps back towards the door.

"Seimei, why don't you give it a try too?"

Sonoko and Ran Mouri's eyes lit up, and they blocked Suzuki Seimei's path, revealing malicious smiles.

Yamete, yamete!!!

Despite Ran Mouri's forceful suppression, Seimei Suzuki ultimately could not escape the fate of being forced to cross-dress.

ε

Kawaii~~

Seeing Suzuki Seimei dressed as a woman, not only Sonoko and the others showed maternal smiles, but even Genta and Mitsuhiko were captivated.

If we were to rate the cuteness of a normal child on a scale of 100, then...

So, Suzuki Seimei in men's clothing would be at least 95 points cute, while Suzuki Seimei in women's clothing would be 105 points cute.

"So cute!"

"She's even cuter than Ayumi."

If they hadn't known that Suzuki Seimei was a boy, Genta and Mitsuhiko probably would have fallen for someone else on the spot.

Sonoko and Ran Mouri exchanged a glance, then pulled out their phones in perfect unison and started snapping photos of Seimei Suzuki.

Sonoko secretly decided that when she got back, she would buy a bunch of cute clothes for Suzuki Seimei; it was such a waste that her little brother didn't wear girls' clothes.

I'm sure my older sister and mom will be interested in this too; just thinking about it makes me happy.

As for whether Suzuki Haruaki would resist or refuse, Sonoko said that resistance would be futile!

Seeing Suzuki Haruaki's utterly dejected expression, Conan couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile.

Because Suzuki Seimei's cross-dressing was so adorable, everyone's attention was drawn to him, and no one paid any attention to Conan in women's clothing.

"boom!"

Just as Sonoko and Ran Mouri were taking photos of Seimei Suzuki from every angle, a loud thud came from outside the door.

Everyone instinctively went outside to look, and saw Tamanosuke clutching his stomach, lying on the corridor.

"Tamanosuke, are you alright?"

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Commander!"

Upon seeing that Tamanosuke was injured, everyone rushed over and asked him with concern.

Tamanosuke, his face pale, waved his hand and touched Megumi's hair, saying, "I...I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

Hearing the noise, Muraki Ryuichi rushed over and shouted at the middle-aged man who was still leisurely smoking a pipe in the room: "Mr. Chikaishi, you've gone too far! Even if you have a conflict with the director over the script, you can't hit people!"

"I've already finished writing the script and I'm about to print it out, but this brat wants me to revise the ending again. Is he kidding me?"

The middle-aged man with slicked-back hair took a leisurely puff of his cigarette, turned to look at another male actor in the room, and said with a meaningful tone, "If a person cannot understand the structure of this society when he is young, it is impossible for him to stand out when he grows up. You agree, Mr. Kenzo Tajima."

(〃＞ dishes＜)

Upon hearing this, Kenzo Tajima's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.

Chapter 157 People Die for Money, Birds Die for Food (Fourth Update, Bonus Chapter for 200 Monthly Tickets)

It is clear that Chikashi Tetsuo has discovered Tajima Kenzo's true identity and wants to use it to threaten him.

The reason why Chikashi Tetsuo attacked Tamanosuke just now was not only because of the script, but also because he wanted to make an example of him.

However, Kenzo Tajima was no ordinary theater actor. He would never compromise with someone like Tetsuo Chikaishi who wanted to threaten him, but would instead eliminate the threat directly.

Haruaki Suzuki was unaware of Kenzo Tajima's inner thoughts. Upon meeting Kenzo Tajima and Tetsuo Chikaishi, he was immediately struck by their presence.

Because above the heads of Kenzo Tajima and Tetsuo Chikaishi, the words "Check-in Available" were floating in large characters.

To be honest, Suzuki Seimei was still a little surprised. Including Tamanosuke and Ogiwara Ite who had signed in before, he had already encountered four people in this theater troupe who met the criteria for signing in.

Normally, it is common to encounter two or three sign-in targets in a case, while more than four sign-in targets are considered relatively rare.

It's unclear whether this case involved a group of people conspiring to commit the crime, or whether there were many victims.

"Oh dear! It seems my tobacco has run out. Mr. Tajima, could you please go and buy me some more?"

Chikashi Tetsuo touched his tobacco pouch, then handed the shrunken pouch to Tajima Kenzo with a hint of amusement.

"you……"

Kenzo Tajima's expression changed slightly, and his killing intent grew stronger. However, on the surface, he still took the tobacco pouch from Tetsuo Chikaishi and went to buy tobacco for him.

Taking advantage of the moment when Kenzo Tajima came out of his room, Haruaki Suzuki seemingly touched him casually.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Kenzo Tajima. You are rewarded with a Master-level 'Lightness Technique' manual, which you can claim at any time."

Skill Name: Lightness Technique

Effects: Significantly increases the user's jumping ability. (When using it, weight is reduced by 30% and speed is increased by 30%.)

Consumption: Stamina

Cooldown time: None

After absorbing the newly acquired skill memories, Suzuki Seimei nodded in satisfaction.

Even if "Lightness Technique" is only the most basic lightness skill, it is enough to greatly enhance Suzuki Seimei's strength.

Especially when combined with the perfected "Assassination Techniques," Suzuki Seimei can move like a ghost when operating in the dark.

It's such a waste that he's not a flower thief!

Watching Kenzo Tajima's departing figure, Megumi couldn't help but angrily shout, "Mr. Chikaishi, you've gone too far!"

"Alright, Xiaohui, stop talking."

Once he recovered, Tamanosuke first comforted Megumi, then asked Chikaishi Tetsuo, "Mr. Chikaishi, why can't you change the ending of the script according to my wishes?"

"Facts are facts, and drama is drama; the two cannot be confused," Chikashi Tetsuo said meaningfully upon hearing this.

"..."

Tamanosuke stared at Chikaishi Tetsuo for a while, and finally could only say helplessly, "I understand, then let's act it out like this! Thank you for your hard work."

The reason Tamanosuke asked Chikaishi Tetsuo to write a new script was because he discovered that there was a phantom thief named "Edo Boy" hiding in the theater troupe.

About six months ago, a phantom thief known as "Edo Boy" suddenly appeared. Starting from the outskirts of Tokyo, he committed numerous robberies throughout the country.

Because this person was like a thief in a period drama, either escaping from the rooftop or using his martial arts skills to jump away, the police nicknamed this thief "Flying Roof Kid".

However, after the news leaked out, the phantom thief was renamed "Edo Boy" by the nosy media.

After realizing that "Edo Boy" might be a member of the theater troupe, Tamanosuke hopes to influence "Edo Boy" through acting and get him to turn himself in to the police.

According to Tamanosuke's original plan, he intended to have Chikaishi Tetsuo revise the ending of the new script into a happy ending.

However, when Chikashi Tetsuo was writing his new script, he collected a lot of information about "Edo Boy" and found some clues that confirmed that Tajima Kenzo was "Edo Boy".

Over the past six months, Kenzo Tajima has stolen a number of valuable items, worth at least over 100 million yen.

Therefore, Chikaishi Tetsuo became greedy and changed the ending of the script, intending to use this secret to blackmail Tajima Kenzo.

People die for wealth, birds die for food!

Many people know this principle, but very few can truly control their greed.

Under the pretext of looking at the script, Suzuki Haruaki walked up to Ishii Tetsufumi, tugged at his arm, and said, "Uncle, can we take a look at this script?"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Chikashi Tetsufu. You are rewarded with a Proficient-level copy of 'Writing,' which you can claim at any time."

Perhaps because Chikashi Tetsuo was a screenwriter, the reward Suzuki Haruaki signed for him was the "writing" skill, which is related to screenwriting.
