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

"I have some official business to ask Mr. Yizhu for help with."

Sonoko showed off the glittering gold invitation in her hand: "I already went to Uncle Mori's place."

"The uncle said you went out, and I thought you wouldn't be with Mr. Yizhu. I didn't expect that to be the case."

"Mr. Yizhu should be here, right? I don't know the situation. If it's convenient, Xiaolan, could you take me to see him?"

Now that she knows the reason behind it, Sonoko is no longer surprised that Ran Mouri is here.

"Sonoko... could you tell me what exactly happened?"

Ran Mouri pressed for an answer.

"Oh, Xiaolan, don't overthink it."

"It's the kind of thing you can just listen to from the sidelines."

Sonoko smiled and patted Ran on the shoulder.

"I didn't think much of it..."

Ran Mouri's thoughts were seen through, and she immediately felt a little embarrassed.

He turned around, walked ahead, and led the garden up to the second floor.

Completely unaware of what they saw when they looked up from the back of the garden.

So this is what happened to Xiaolan at Mr. Yizhu's house.

Sonoko was secretly amazed.

I did think about giving her a heads-up, but seeing Xiaolan's unguarded and seemingly used-to-it attitude, I ultimately decided not to say anything more.

After all, it's Xiaolan's freedom.

When Ran Mouri knocked on the door of the guest room, Karuichi Itake let the two of them in.

Then, Sonoko revealed the purpose of her trip.

It turns out that at the Suzuki Foundation's 60th anniversary celebration, the Suzuki family's heirloom, the Dark Star, which is also the world's largest black pearl, will be publicly displayed.

Then I received a pre-announcement letter from Kaito Kid.

To prevent the Dark Star from being stolen, Tomoko Suzuki, the head of the Suzuki Foundation, is already preparing various plans.

But Sonoko felt that none of those plans were as reliable as Itake Karuta's.

Moreover, Izuki Karuta's business scope is not limited to the profession of transfer agent.

Sonoko wanted to hire Itake Karuta in her personal capacity to protect Dark Star.

"If I can successfully protect Dark Star, I will ask my mom for funding."

"Don't worry about the money at all, we definitely have 500 million yen!"

Sonoko extended a warm invitation and even analyzed, "If Mr. Itsuki could defeat or even capture Kaito Kid in public, his fame would surely soar!"

It must be said that these words touched Izuki Karuda.

It's also because the timing of Ke's degree interview was chaotic.

If I had known about this great opportunity earlier, Izuki Karuta would never have needed to cooperate with Nakano Yoko.

However, now that the contract has been signed and the transaction is underway, Izuki Shigeta has no intention of backing out.

"Ms. Sonoko, you're too kind. It's my honor to be able to participate in this anniversary celebration."

"They've provided me with such a great platform for free, how could I possibly charge them?"

"I have accepted the invitation. I will definitely be there on time for the celebration and protect the Dark Star."

Izuki Karuta agreed to the request.

"Mr. Yizhu, you are such a kind person!"

The garden cheered, expressed her gratitude, and then prepared to leave.

However, Sonoko felt that she should call Ran Mouri first if she came to Itake's house next time.

Otherwise, arriving at the wrong time might lead to an awkward situation.

Just as Sonoko stepped out of the gate, she ran into Akemi Miyano and Sayuri Matsumoto, who were returning from shopping.

The two pulled Sonoko back to the living room to chat.

Then he called Xiaolan and Yizhu Qingtian downstairs to eat the snacks he had just bought.

Now, Xiaolan's plan has completely lost its chance of being implemented.

the other side,

Judy was relieved that her bad luck had passed.

After returning to my accommodation and having a good night's sleep,

Only then did they gradually come to their senses.

Thinking back to the purpose of going to see Izuki Karuta today.

Furthermore, I realized exactly what I had lost.

And the only explanation for that strange power...

Chapter 75 Ran and Eri practicing alone

"Hypnotized! I was hypnotized?!"

"Izuki Karuta... I won't let you get away with this!"

Judy gritted her teeth.

She, an FBI investigator who championed science, was unexpectedly brought down by a con artist.

Although the conman was handsome and, in some ways, quite shrewd, making her tremble with fear...

However, Judy is from the United States and has a more open-minded outlook. Although she was annoyed, she didn't lose her temper.

After all, judging from the process and the result, it was not an unacceptable experience.

As for the investigation report, this definitely cannot be included.

However, Izuki Karuta's ability to hypnotize greatly increases the suspicion that she is an assassin.

"But...did his rituals...actually have any effect?"

"Forget it, if I get injured in the next few days, I'll just go and cause trouble!"

"We'll ruin his reputation then!"

Judy temporarily put the matter out of her mind and began to arrange the list of people to be checked tomorrow.

As night fell, in Eri Kisaki's apartment...

I received a call from Ran Mouri, saying she'd be coming over to stay overnight.

Eri Kisaki left work early today.

I returned to my apartment at six o'clock in the evening.

Just then, Ran Mouri came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, her face flushed with a healthy rosy glow, looking exceptionally adorable.

In fact,

Ran Mouri was planning to have a karate training session with Karuichi Itake today, and maybe work up a good sweat.

However, due to various unforeseen circumstances, the plan could not be realized.

Ran Mouri harbored a pent-up resentment that she had no outlet for.

I had no choice but to go to Eri's apartment. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around and there was enough space, I trained alone for a while.

However, there is a huge difference between practicing alone and actual combat training.

Practicing alone will only lead to stagnation; only by competing against others can you discover your own shortcomings and deficiencies, correct them, and grow.

Ran Mouri didn't want this to happen, but she had no choice.

After rigorous training, Ran Mouri finally managed to vent her anger and felt a little better.

"Sister Fei is back~ I'll go prepare dinner right away."

Ran Mouri smiled and walked towards the kitchen.

"It's still early."

"Xiao Lan, you just took a shower, sit down and have some fruit."

"Also, please don't call me 'Sister Fei' anymore. It's embarrassing if people hear it."

Eri Kisaki pulled Ran Mouri aside, washing the fruit they had bought while complaining about how Ran addressed her.

Why would I be embarrassed?

"Sister Fei has always been so young and beautiful."

"You look so good lately... Did something good happen between you and Dad?"
