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

Ran Mouri routinely inquires about Eri Kisaki's love life.

The Mori couple had been separated for ten years.

Ran Mouri stayed at the office to take care of Kogoro Mouri's daily needs because she was worried that he might get drunk and die one day.

This was also to control the money and restrict Kogoro Mouri from going out to philander.

If Ran Mouri's greatest wish right now is for Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri to reunite and be together as a family, that would be the best it could be.

Conan was left at the agency before.

They were also using the guise of having Kogoro Mouri solve cases to boost their own fame, hoping to attract Eri Kisaki's attention.

Eri Kisaki needs to know that Kogoro Mouri is no longer the idle drunkard he used to be.

Moreover, having cases to handle is better than Kogoro Mouri idly smoking, drinking, and gambling on horses at the office.

"Why bring up that drunkard? It'll only ruin your mood. Let's not talk about him."

"Xiao Lan, did you go anywhere during your two-day holiday?"

Eri Kisaki felt a wave of annoyance whenever she thought of Kogoro Mouri, and subconsciously changed the subject.

"We didn't go anywhere. Just like usual, we strolled around with Sonoko and helped with some cleaning."

"Going to Itake Karuta's place to clean again?"

Xiaolan nodded.

"Xiao Lan, listen to your mother, don't go to Yi Zhu Qing Tian's place anymore."

"Mom can definitely help with the money issue."

Eri Kisaki had a vague feeling that Ran might have already fallen for her.

But it's unclear exactly what stage it's at.

But no matter what, she wanted Xiaolan to stay away from Yizhu Qingtian.

That person is like a whirlpool, constantly drawing people deeper into it...

This wasn't the first time Eri Kisaki had tried to persuade Ran Mouri.

“Mr. Yizhu is a good person, Sister Fei, you don’t need to worry.”

"Okay, I should go cook now."

"Sister Fei, you must be tired from work today. Why don't you take a bath and rest for a while?"

But every time, Ran Mouri would quickly change the subject.

Eri Kisaki sighed and went into the bathroom.

The image of Izuki Karita kept replaying in my mind.

The anger in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

He wished he could run to Izuki Qingtian right now, pin him against the wall, and forcefully...

Eri suddenly realized that her thoughts had gone astray, not only towards violence, but also affecting her thinking.

In order to regain her composure, Eri Kisaki chose the same method as Ran Mouri.

Release your anger through exercise.

The difference is that Ran Mouri practices karate.

Fei Yingli's techniques belong to judo, but she only knows one or two basic moves.

There are no opportunities to practice normally, let alone have a sparring partner.

Last time, I practiced with Itsuki Karuta for a while, which benefited Eri Kisaki a lot and left her with many feelings.

Although Eri Kisaki considered Izuki Karuta's character rather bad.

But Eri Kisaki couldn't deny the formidable strength of Itsuki Karuta.

Eri Kisaki considers Izuki Karuta as her imaginary enemy, fantasizing about how Izuki Karuta will make his moves and how she should counter them.

After a hard-fought battle with her imaginary opponent, Eri worked up a sweat, venting her anger and feeling much better.

After coming out of the bathroom,

With her mood improving, Eri Kisaki also went to the kitchen to help Ran Mouri, who was preparing dinner.

This is also Ran Mouri's only chance to enjoy a family atmosphere.

As for Kogoro Mouri's office, he would never go into the kitchen, let alone help out.

Conan, needless to say, is just like Kogoro Mouri, all he does is wait for his meal.

If Conan were to specifically run to the kitchen to offer his help, Ran Mouri would suspect that the kid had some ulterior motive.

……

The next day, Teitan High School.

Ran Mouri glanced at Sonoko sitting at the table behind her out of the corner of her eye, her expression somewhat hesitant.

"Xiaolan, is there something on my face?"

Why are you always secretly watching me?

Sonoko, who already paid close attention to Ran Mouri, quickly noticed her best friend's unusual behavior.

"Ahem...actually..."

"...Actually, there's something I'd like to explain..."

Ran Mouri found it difficult to speak.

Yesterday, when I went to the bathroom at Yizhu's house,

Ran Mouri then realized that because of her carelessness and lack of vigilance towards Sonoko, she had forgotten that she had deliberately used a loophole to lure Karita Itake into a trap.

When taking the garden upstairs, it might cause the garden to misunderstand.

"Xiaolan, I understand."

"You don't need to explain, I've seen it in novels."

Sonoko patted Ran Mouri on the shoulder with a serious expression.

"..."

Ran Mouri was truly at a loss for words.

I always feel that explaining won't help, and will only make things worse.

So much so that when school ended in the afternoon,

Sonoko wants to invite Ran Mouri to go with her to choose a dress for the banquet.

Ran Mouri was still a little embarrassed.

"But Xiaolan, you're already so beautiful."

"If I dressed up properly, Mr. Izuki would definitely be dumbfounded, right?"

"It would be very interesting if Mr. Izuki made that kind of expression."

Sonoko managed to lure Ran away with just a few words.

Upon seeing the wide variety of women's clothing in the store, with its diverse styles and uses,

Ran Mouri also had more ideas in her mind.

……

A few days later, Suzuki's anniversary celebration arrived as scheduled.

Sonoko specially arranged for a car from the Suzuki family to pick up and drop off Itake Karuta at the venue.

It was dusk, just before nightfall.

It was early summer, and the temperature was pleasant.

In Yokohama Port, a cruise ship is docked in a prominent position.

This is a luxurious cruise ship purchased by the Suzuki Group; it is extremely magnificent.

At the pier, countless social celebrities walked the red carpet one after another.

Reporters on both sides snapped photos as they watched the wealthy and powerful guests board the luxury cruise ship.

The arrival of the Suzuki limousine also reminded the reporters present to keep their cameras firmly in hand and be ready to take pictures at any time.

Those who were able to arrive in Suzuki's official vehicles demonstrated how highly Suzuki regarded them.

Then, the reporter saw a man get out of the car all by himself.

"That person is... Izuki Karuta? The legendary fortune teller?!"

Because he had been on television and in newspapers, and was also handsome, Izuki Karuta was quickly recognized.

Izuki Karuta originally wanted to bring Akemi and Sherry over for a stroll, but the Miyano sisters didn't like banquets with too many people, so they had to give up on that idea.

"It is said that his blessing and disaster relief services are very effective, and even Yoko Okino is a loyal customer of his."
