The Detective Conan's Luck-Changer: Ran Begs for Mercy at the Start

Izuki Shizuta couldn't quite hide the smile on her lips.

"I knew it! You bastard!"

Sherry grabbed Izuki Shizuta's left and right ears with both hands and twisted them hard. "The difference is so big, how could you not tell the difference?!"

"Ouch! Sherry, be gentle!" Izuki Qingtian quickly pressed Sherry's small hands down with both of them... Actually, it didn't hurt at all.

Well, this is also the result of Itake Karuta doing things as she pleased.

But ultimately, it wasn't discussed with Shirley beforehand.

Yeah, it's all because Shirley is too cute!

"It's not entirely my fault."

"Shirley, just imagine, I go back to my room and find a stunningly beautiful woman lying in my bed."

"How could I not be tempted?"

"And your behavior is so blatant, it couldn't be more blatant, could it?"

Shirley also found it difficult to explain why she got drunk last night.

Ultimately, she went into the wrong room and stayed in bed.

Unfortunately, due to the effects of alcohol, she reverted to her original appearance, causing her pajamas to fall apart.

Izuki Karuta continued her analysis, "What I was thinking at the time was, Sherry, you want to use my power to protect you and Akemi."

"If I don't accept, wouldn't that be a denial of your charm and an insult to my behavior?"

As Izuki Karuta spoke, she almost began to believe her own lies.

However, from Shirley's perspective, these words do make some sense.

"I don't care, you owe me anyway!"

As Shirley spoke, Xiaoya gently nudged Yizhu Qingtian.

Izuki Shigeta immediately deflated, unable to refute.

Indeed, prior negotiation is necessary for a successful transaction.

Otherwise, it will really become a mess.

Sherry then realized that sitting on Izuki Karuta's neck was too conspicuous, and after Akemi took a picture of her, she quickly asked to get down.

Over the next two days,

Sherry told them to go east, but Izuki Karita didn't go west.

The three of them visited the aquarium, museum, and stargazing center in Arkansas, practically covering all the tourist attractions.

On the evening of the third day, the three of them received the plane tickets prepared by the organization and returned to Japan.

Upon returning home, Bourbon and Vodka went to the organization's temporary base to report on the mission.

During Izuki Karuta's trip, Bourbon and Vodka were also busy.

Bourbon continued to follow the three.

Vodka then used his Arkansas branch to organize personnel to investigate the true cause of the target's death.

But no matter how much they investigated, whether it was the forensic autopsy results or personally examining the body,

The conclusions were all the same: lack of oxygen, they suffocated to death.

I watched the relevant news reports, live stream recordings, and mission reports.

The members sitting around the conference table fell silent.

Especially Vermouth,

She had considered that Itsuki Shigeda might use some kind of misfortune to make the target's death appear as an accident.

But no one expected that the target would die from oxygen deprivation during a live broadcast, in front of tens of thousands of people.

Simple, yet deadly, and the reason remains unknown.

This is absolutely terrifying; it's like something out of a legend—witchcraft or magic.

Gin's back was also covered in cold sweat.

Look at the target in the video, helpless and dying a miserable death.

Looking at himself, he realized he only had broken his foot and hand.

Gin suddenly felt that this was quite nice.

The meeting ended in silence.

As for Izuki Karuta's actions of taking Sherry away without permission and beating up Bourbon, Vermouth, and Vodka respectively.

Not a single word was mentioned during this meeting.

Perhaps they forgot, or perhaps... they dared not mention it.

……

Yi Zhu's family.

On the first morning after returning to China,

"Little sister, what did you dream about last night?"

While having breakfast, Akemi Miyano looked at Sherry with a smile.

"I didn't dream about anything, what's wrong?"

Shirley found it somewhat inexplicable.

"It's nothing, it's just that someone was dreaming and quietly calling out someone's name."

Akemi rested her chin on her hand, watching Sherry's adorable breakfast.

"I...I called my sister's name again last night?"

Shirley was a little embarrassed.

As their only family member in the world, they are always separated more often than together.

Overwhelmed with longing, Sherry often dreamed of Akemi Miyano.

I used to sleep with a tape recorder on, so I know about this habit of mine.

"It wasn't me, it was someone else."

Akemi Miyano's smile now carried a hint of teasing.

"Sister, you must have misheard me."

A hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across Shirley's face.

How could she possibly call out that person's name in her dream?!

But after being reminded by Miyano Akemi,

The dream I had last night suddenly became clear.

In the dream, Sherry, Akemi, and Izuki Karuta were still in Arkansas, and it seemed that their trip was still going on.

"It's okay, it's normal to dream about friends."

Miyano Akemi comforted her, "Besides, you and Mr. Itsuki get along quite well."

When I learned that Shirley was going to move in,

Akemi was also worried that Sherry, who was aloof and not good at socializing, might clash with Izuki Shizuta.

However, during this trip, Sherry and Izuki Karuta quickly grew closer, which relieved Akemi.

"...Where did that guy go so early in the morning?"

Shirley was silent for a few seconds before asking.

“They must have gone to Teitan Elementary School,” Miyano Akemi replied.

"What is that girl doing at the elementary school?" Shirley frowned slightly.

“It must be about the donation,” Akemi explained. “Mr. Itake donates to Teitan Elementary School every week.”

"So far, a total of 5000 million yen has been donated."

"Teitan Elementary School held a special thank-you event for this."

This is what Miyano Akemi learned from a phone conversation she had with Itake Karuta last night.

"5000 million yen?"

"That guy..."

Shirley's feelings were somewhat complicated.

It's hard to tell whether Izuki Karuta's donation was genuine, a mere show of charity, or something like money laundering...

at the same time,

Teitan Elementary School, Beika City.
