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

It seems this business queen is used to a life of luxury and privilege.

A simple verbal exchange affected her emotions.

"I, Tomoko Suzuki, have never made a decision I regret in my life!"

"If you want me to regret this, then make my move!"

Suzuki Tomoko said coldly, thinking to herself that she had never seen anyone as arrogant as Izuki Karuta.

She had made several preparations to protect the Dark Star, and there were quite a few intelligent people among the guests present.

Suzuki Tomoko was confident that losing Izuki Karuta wouldn't have much of an impact.

In fact, if it weren't for Sonoko mentioning Itake Karuta's story every now and then during dinner,

Tomoko Suzuki wouldn't even glance at her.

While Itake Karuta and Suzuki Tomoko were whispering to each other...

Sonoko and Ran also teamed up to come up with a secret code.

As for Conan, he can only team up with Kogoro Mouri.

As the guests whispered among themselves, pondering the secret code,

The lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.

What followed unfolded exactly as Izuki Karuta recalled.

Tomoko Suzuki specially hired a magician, dressed like Kaito Kid, to perform a public act.

To the guests' astonishment, Tomoko Suzuki, holding a fake gun, fired several shots, killing Kaito Kid on the spot.

Upon seeing the blood and witnessing the immediate death, the guests present became somewhat panicked.

However, Tomoko Suzuki skillfully managed the line between panic and alarm, and promptly had the lights turned on.

The dead Phantom Thief Kid also came back to life and stood up.

"If Phantom Thief Kid dares to steal the Dark Star tonight..."

"This is what happened to him!"

Suzuki Tomoko said confidently, while keeping an eye on Itake Karuta, who had already distanced himself from her.

But those actions just now didn't elicit even a hint of surprise from Izuki Shizuta's face.

Throughout the entire process, Izuki Karuta wore a mysterious smile.

This puzzled Tomoko Suzuki.

Was it something he had already seen through, or was he deliberately feigning profundity?

Afterwards, the magician, who was disguised as Kaito Kid, changed into clean clothes and returned to the stage to perform magic tricks for the guests.

Izuki Karita, on the other hand, held the Dark Star in her hand.

They were contemplating whether or not to absorb the essence of heaven and earth within it.

As for the one on Tomoko Suzuki's body...

It has been replaced with a fake one.

After hesitating for a while, Izuki Qingtian ultimately did not move Dark Star.

After all, this is a Suzuki product, and Sonoko is a valued customer.

Taking it without asking was solely to protect the Dark Star.

Taking it for oneself without permission is a violation of the rules.

As for Suzuki Tomoko's somewhat rude attitude just now...

She'll have her moment to humble herself later.

Izuki Karuta began to pay attention to the jewelry worn by some of the guests.

Some of them also contain the essence of heaven and earth.

Izuki Karuta approached the jewelry wearer and spoke to her, expressing her intention to acquire the jewelry.

However, most of these pieces of jewelry have been passed down through generations of wealthy families, and their significance has surpassed their price.

Not to mention that they are not short of money.

There was only one young lady from the Yabumoto family whose jewelry was not an heirloom, but rather something she bought from a street vendor while traveling.

The young lady of the Naya family was also easy to talk to. Seeing how much Itake Karuta liked it, she didn't accept money and wanted to give him the bracelet directly.

"Here, this is my business card."

"My name is Itsuki Karita, and I'm a fortune teller."

"If Miss Hiramoto ever needs anything in the future, you can ask me for help once for free."

Seeing that she had a good personality, Izuki Shizuta didn't want to take it for free.

Ms. Hiramoto accepted the business card, and after a few polite words, the two parted ways.

Itaru Karuta spent a considerable amount of time discussing the business with the guests.

The cruise ship has now been sailing at sea for more than an hour.

"Has Phantom Thief Kid really arrived? Why is there still no sign of him?"

"Was he too scared to show himself?"

"With so many people here, Kidd must be scared."

The guests present began to wonder if the real Phantom Thief Kid would make an appearance that evening.

At this moment, the magician who had been invited took to the stage once again to perform magic.

This time, the magic shows were more interactive and fun little tricks for the guests, such as card tricks.

When asked which guest would like to draw a card...

Kogoro Mouri, looking like he was about to sabotage the event, ran over and picked a card.

When they took it out, it turned out to be a new teaser letter from Kaito Kid.

In the announcement, Phantom Thief Kid claims that he has already infiltrated the guests and is about to take action.

"There are police everywhere on the ship now."

"Even if Phantom Thief Kid can find the Dark Star, he can't escape easily."

Tomoko Suzuki still looked confident.

The police were on high alert, deploying officers at every exit of the banquet hall and even by the windows, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

"what--!"

Suddenly, a chorus of exclamations erupted from the left side of the banquet hall.

Then a thick plume of white smoke rose up.

"It's a pearl! The pearl exploded!"

As the replica dark stars on the ground exploded, the guests scrambled to remove the ones that were pinned to their clothes.

People were panicked for a while.

"The pearls will explode, and the white smoke is poisonous!"

"Run away!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and many guests panicked and tried to run out of the banquet hall to avoid inhaling the poisonous gas.

No matter how many police officers there were, they couldn't stop the surging crowd.

The guards at the gate were quickly pushed aside, and many people filed out.

At the same time, Suzuki Tomoko was bumped in the chaos and almost fell. After regaining her balance, she found that the Dark Star had disappeared.

"Phantom Thief Kid stole the Dark Star!"

In the chaos and panic, Tomoko Suzuki accidentally cried out.

"Don't panic, everyone! Phantom Thief Kid only steals things, he doesn't use poison gas to kill people!"

Inspector Nakamori shouted through a megaphone, "Kaito Kid is definitely among those who escaped."

"There's no escape at sea, we will definitely catch Phantom Thief Kid!"

At this point, the remaining guests in the banquet hall finally calmed down a bit.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko both went to Tomoko Suzuki's side to ask about the situation.

"I'm fine, it's just the dark star..."

Tomoko Suzuki was unwilling to accept it.

When she was hit, she didn't even feel anyone touch her clothes.

As a result, the Dark Star was stolen.

The Dark Star is not only a family heirloom, but also the face of the Suzuki Group tonight.
