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

It was still Tomoko Suzuki in the banquet hall.

And then there's Yukiko Kudo, disguised as Kogoro Mouri, who most likely came to join the fun but ended up getting knocked out by Conan.

Their skin was smooth, firm, and elastic, and they maintained their figures very well.

Even compared to Ran Mouri, who is in the prime of her youth, she is just as good.

These women looked much older than their actual age; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were in their twenties.

Tomoko Suzuki is relatively easy to deal with, as she is very wealthy and can use technology to slow down aging and maintain her beauty.

However, the pairing of Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki is clearly illogical.

Could this be one of the special rules of the Kobe degree?

That was all I could guess.

After all, Ran Mouri has such superhuman strength, but she doesn't have explosive muscle definition, which is quite strange.

Or rather, some of the main characters in the world of Detective Conan are inherently illogical.

Since it was due to the rules, Izuki Shizuta stopped worrying about it.

Close Yukiko Kudo's suit and shirt.

Izuki Qingtian left the room and locked the door from the inside using her evil energy.

In this way, only the person inside can open the door.

After doing all this, Izuki Karita walked back to the banquet hall.

At this point, the police search came to a temporary halt, and the Phantom Thief Kid was nowhere to be found on the ship.

The guests who escaped during the earlier chaos have all had their identities checked, and they are all normal.

"Kaito Kid might still be in the lobby!"

Nakamori Ginzo made a guess.

However, the majority of guests were in the banquet hall.

Upon hearing that her face was going to be pinched hard, she immediately disagreed with the police's actions.

He also mocked the police for their incompetence, failing to protect Dark Star or capture Phantom Thief Kid.

Although Suzuki Tomoko appeared calm on the surface, she was secretly groaning inwardly.

With just over ten minutes until the cruise ship docks, there simply isn't enough time to check everything.

When the reporters flock to the scene and find out that Dark Star was stolen by Phantom Thief Kid, the Suzuki Foundation will be a laughing stock tomorrow.

Where exactly did Mr. Itsuki Karuta go?

Sonoko and Ran Mouri were still looking around.

Not only is it Izuki Karuta that's being searched for, but Kogoro Mouri has also disappeared.

"Now that the Dark Star has been stolen, what's the point of looking for that guy?!"

"So many police officers couldn't catch Phantom Thief Kid, so one more won't change anything!"

Tomoko Suzuki finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She was already in a bad mood, and Sonoko kept mentioning the name of Itake Karuta beside her.

In particular, Suzuki Tomoko recalled Izuki Karuta's slightly mocking smile, as if she knew all along that she would fail.

"Mom, you have no idea."

"Mr. Yizhu is a man of his word, and he also possesses extraordinary abilities."

"If he wants to catch Phantom Thief Kid, I believe he can definitely do it."

Sonoko had seen Itake Karuta predict three cases before.

I had long trusted Izuki Karuta's abilities.

Only in front of Tomoko Suzuki did I refrain from using such a fantastical term as "divine messenger."

"Sonoko is right."

"Aunt Tomoko, now only Mr. Itake can help us find the Dark Star."

Ran Mouri, needless to say, had personally experienced it at the beginning of the banquet and held Izuki Karuta's abilities in high esteem.

"Heh, if that kid can really find the Dark Star."

"I'll just chop his head off and use it as a stool for him to sit on!"

Tomoko Suzuki became even angrier and sneered repeatedly.

Now, both Sonoko and Ran could tell that Tomoko Suzuki was angry.

With so many people around, it wouldn't be appropriate to argue back.

"For me, sitting is not as comfortable as sitting in a chair."

Suddenly, Izuki Karuta's voice rang out.

He had just come in from outside when he saw the three women talking.

Especially Tomoko Suzuki, her face looked unwell, as if she was angry.

Tomoko Suzuki snorted coldly and didn't reply.

Garden approached quickly:

"Did Mr. Izuki go to catch Phantom Thief Kid?"

"Has the Dark Star been recovered?"

Sonoko is usually carefree, but she knows the importance of Dark Star, not only for its significance, but also for the reputation of the Suzuki Group.

"There are some clues..."

As Izuki Karuta spoke, her gaze fell on Suzuki Tomoko, "However, there are some things I need to ask Ms. Tomoko."

"If Ms. Tomoko allows, perhaps I can retrieve the Dark Star before we reach the shore."

Upon hearing this, both Sonoko and Ran Mouri turned their gazes to Tomoko Suzuki.

He used his eyes to urge the latter to start a conversation quickly.

"..."

Tomoko Suzuki gritted her teeth, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

If you regret it later, the price could increase more than tenfold.

I also recalled what Izuki Karuta had said before.

It's a matter of personal face versus the face of the Suzuki Group and the Suzuki family.

Tomoko Suzuki ultimately chose her family.

The two arrived at the most luxurious room on the cruise ship.

"Ten times 500 million is 5000 million yen."

"If you can really find the Dark Star, the money will be transferred to your account tonight."

Tomoko Suzuki got straight to the point, and was prepared for Karuichi Itake to raise prices further.

Izuki Karita shook his head:

"I've changed my mind now, I don't want the money."

"I only want Ms. Tomoko to promise me one thing."

The allure of money was far less than the allure of the essence of heaven and earth for Izuki Karita.

Since the Dark Star contains the essence of heaven and earth, could the Suzuki family possess other treasures?

Does Izuki Karuta remember that the Suzuki family has a very deep-rooted history?

It is said that there is a special treasure vault containing all sorts of strange and rare treasures.

Perhaps many of those treasures, like the dark stars, contain the essence of heaven and earth.

Izuki Karuta really wanted to go there for a stroll.

"You, you bastard!"

"Don't even think about that kind of thing!"

As a result, Tomoko Suzuki refused with a look of embarrassment and anger.

"what?"

Izuki Karuta was puzzled as to why she was rejected, and so decisively at that.

"Ms. Tomoko, what I'm referring to is..."

"Don't even think about it! The Dark Star is indeed important, but I would never sell myself out for something like that!"

As she spoke, Suzuki Tomoko crossed her arms in front of her, looking at Itake Karuta with an angry and wary expression.

"...Ms. Tomoko, what on earth are you thinking?"
