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

However, besides thanking Izuki Qingtian for the thrilling adventure and thoughtful gesture, this kiss was also a gesture of gratitude.

More importantly, Ran Mouri discovers that Karuichi Itake's amazing abilities are far more powerful than she imagined.

If we can make good use of it, perhaps that knot in our hearts that we couldn't untie for ten years can be easily untied.

"..."

Izuki Karita could sense that Ran Mouri's gaze had changed somewhat.

It has become more complicated.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Ran Mouri will eventually have to grow up.

Being naive and kind-hearted without any regard for reality will lead to significant losses in Japan's capitalist society.

Now that she's this age, Izuki Karata also wants Ran Mouri to let go of her past lack of wariness towards strangers.

Afterwards, Izuki Karuta and Mori Ran rested for a while by the railing, enjoying the sea breeze.

20 minutes later,

Inside the banquet hall of the cruise ship.

"Honestly, the banquet has been going on for 10 minutes already, where did those two go?"

"Are you planning to stay in your room forever and never come out?"

Sonoko looked around, but still couldn't find Izuki Karuta and Mori Ran.

Meanwhile, Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki, the male and female heads of the Suzuki Foundation, had already given a welcome speech to the guests and expressed their feelings about Suzuki's 60th anniversary.

Tomoko Suzuki also had a gift box given to each of the guests present.

The gift box contains over 500 replicas of the Dark Star.

He even provocatively said that if Phantom Thief Kid was truly capable, he should be able to find the only genuine item among these 500-plus imitations.

The guests followed the instructions and pinned the dark star to their clothing.

Sonoko has three gift boxes, one of which she will open and wear herself.

The remaining two are Izuki Karuda and Mouri Ran.

But now we can't find anyone.

Just as Sonoko was agonizing over whether or not to go to the room to check on things...

"Excuse me, are you looking for someone?"

"Or is something missing?"

"I'm a detective. I can help you if you need it."

A childish voice, which annoyed the gardener, rang out.

Looking down, I saw it was indeed Conan.

Sonoko was just about to ask Conan if he had seen Itake Karuta and Mouri Ran,

But then he suddenly realized that Conan's tone of voice was different from usual.

It's not just Sonoko who dislikes Conan;

Conan also didn't give Sonoko a friendly look.

Sonoko is certain that Conan didn't recognize her despite her elaborate disguise.

"..."

Sonoko gave a mysterious smile, and without saying a word, simply waved for Conan to follow.

Then he found paper and a pen, wrote some words, and handed them to Conan...

A few minutes later, Sonoko used the excuse of going to the restroom to avoid Conan and walked to one side of the banquet hall.

Just then, Sonoko saw Itake Karuta and Mouri Ran walk into the banquet hall side by side.

But by this time, Ran Mouri had already removed her makeup, and the black evening dress she had been wearing had been changed into a red one.

The main issue was that Ran Mouri was affected by the illusion and broke out in a lot of sweat.

So the two of them went back to their room to shower and change their clothes, which is why they came in the evening.

"I thought you wouldn't come out of your rooms until the banquet was over."

Yuanzi walked over and made a joke.

"Garden..."

Ran Mouri blushed immediately, looking as if she had been bullied.

The gardener couldn't bear to tease the plants any longer.

Sonoko then asked the two to wait a few minutes.

When Sonoko reappeared, she had removed her makeup and put her headband back on.

"Sonoko, what's wrong with you...?"

"It's much more comfortable without makeup, otherwise men always come up to me, even..."

Sonoko stopped talking and showed the camera in her hand, "I just recorded some interesting things, Ran, you'll definitely want to see them."

Mao Lülan suddenly became curious.

However, Sonoko did not start playing it immediately, but waited until after disembarking.

Now even Itsuki Karuta was a little curious.

However, the array not only affects vision, but also interferes with electromagnetic waves.

Therefore, the main character in the camera is definitely not Izuki Karuta.

At this point, the anniversary celebration had officially begun.

Sonoko led the two of them to Tomoko Suzuki.

Tomoko Suzuki, the matriarch of the Suzuki Group, and the business queen of Japan.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had exquisite features, and sported a neat short haircut.

She looked to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, a mature and beautiful woman who exuded an aura of authority. A beauty mark next to her right eye added to her unique charm.

It seems that the garden's appearance is similar to that of Tomoko Suzuki.

As for Ayako Suzuki, she clearly resembles Shiro Suzuki, so her appearance is rather plain.

"Mr. Izuki, right?"

“Yuanzi tells me about you every few days.”

Before anyone could introduce her, Suzuki Tomoko recognized Itake Karuta.

"Ms. Tomoko, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Thank you to the Suzuki Foundation for providing this opportunity."

"I will protect Dark Star, and even if Phantom Thief Kid comes, I will make him leave empty-handed."

Izuki Karuta gave a polite smile.

Sensing the immense confidence contained in those seemingly ordinary words, Tomoko Suzuki's eyes flickered slightly.

"I don't think that thief would dare to come."

A hint of disdain flashed in Tomoko Suzuki's eyes.

was saying,

Conan and Kogoro Mouri arrived.

The area around Tomoko Suzuki was always the center of attention at the banquet.

Conan, who was searching for someone, naturally noticed the situation here very quickly.

Kogoro Mouri also noticed his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for most of the day, and came over as well.

"Sister Xiaolan, where did you go just now?"

Conan looked puzzled. Moreover, after dressing up for so long, he hadn't really dressed up much; he was just wearing a new suit.

"I mainly overslept in the cabin lounge."

Ran Mouri explained somewhat embarrassedly,

They said they overslept and got a little lost, which is why they were late.

Conan didn't suspect much, because Ran Mouri's sense of direction was indeed a bit poor.

"Sonoko-neechan, as a member of the Suzuki family, how come you're late?"

Conan quickly turned his fire on Sonoko.

However, Sonoko just chuckled coldly, her eyes flashing with mockery.

Conan always felt that he had become an even lower being in Sonoko's eyes.
