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

Then Heiji, who gets along very well with Conan, is probably not in much better shape either...

Kazuha shook her head.

The Heiji she knows shouldn't be that bad.

……

Suzuki Estate

After Ran Mouri ended the call,

He then continued practicing judo techniques with Sonoko.

"Sonoko, at this level."

"You should be able to accept it, right?"

Ran Mouri observed Sonoko's expression.

Although Sonoko is a member of the tennis club at school,

However, he has zero experience in martial arts.

Ran Mouri is skilled in karate.

But I also have some insights into judo.

Furthermore, judo is easier for beginners to learn.

The first lesson,

Ran Mouri should choose relatively easy initial training sessions.

Sonoko definitely wouldn't be able to handle the high-intensity training like that of Itake Karuta.

"Yes, yes..."

"I can hold on..."

Sonoko gritted her teeth and persevered.

In fact, Sonoko's task in this lesson was simply to demonstrate some basic judo fighting stances.

Ran Mouri would offer guidance from the sidelines.

However, some postures look easy when others do them, but when you try them yourself, you find it difficult to stick to them.

For example, there is a move that is similar to the horse stance, and Yuanzi's legs started to ache after just a few seconds.

five minutes later,

"call--!"

"After working up a sweat from exercising, I definitely felt much better."

"No wonder you like this kind of sport, Xiaolan."

Sonoko completed her first training session and experienced something she had never felt before.

Moreover, after receiving personal guidance from Xiaolan,

The two best friends seem to have grown even closer.

Afterwards, the two women took a bath together.

"Sonoko, speaking of which, shouldn't you find a boyfriend?"

Ran Mouri chose a topic that the garden used to love discussing.

"Of course, I also want a sweet romance~"

"Nobody likes me when I wear a headband, but when I take it off, a bunch of flies come and go."

“There are also people who covet our family's property; those people don't like me at all.”

Sonoko sighed helplessly, "If I hadn't not found true love yet, who would want to be single?"

After saying that, Sonoko glanced at Ran Mouri with envy.

"You're so lucky, Xiaolan. You even found true love by accident."

"No way, Sonoko, don't talk nonsense..."

Sonoko interrupted, "At least Ran, you've definitely fallen for him, always sneaking peeks at Mr. Izuki."

"And when talking about him, I always unconsciously smile."

"If it's just a simple transaction, why are you so proactive, Xiaolan?"

After witnessing Ran Mouri's adventure in the mind's eye,

Sonoko was now completely certain of her suspicions.

"..."

Ran Mouri was left speechless.

Indeed, Ran Mouri feels naturally at ease and confident when she is with Izuki Karuta.

If they encounter difficulties, the first person they think of is Itake Karuta.

"Besides, Xiaolan, isn't your relationship with Mr. Yizhu quite good?"

"No entanglement, each taking what they need."

"If I find true love, I can break up with him at any time without any entanglement."

Sonoko is from Japan and has been exposed to cherry blossoms since childhood.

Of course, I don't think that having a boyfriend or girlfriend means you have to get married.

But the person you fall in love with must be someone you like.

"Sonoko, you wouldn't..."

Ran Mouri looked at him with suspicion.

"what?"

Yuanzi didn't understand some of it.

“It’s nothing…when we say it.”

Mao Lilan shook his head.

But Sonoko quickly realized the meaning behind his words:

"Xiao Lan, did you just think..."

"You think I'm after Mr. Yizhu?"

"Xiaolan, why would you think that?"

Sonoko looked surprised.

"how come……"

"Yuanzi, you're overthinking it."

Ran Mouri quickly denied it.

He was secretly annoyed.

She seems to be influenced too much by Izuki Karuta.

……

Yizhu family,

Six pm.

Shirley took a private car home after get off work.

Because of the special nature of their identity and work

To avoid revealing the location of the laboratory,

The organization assigned Shirley a seemingly normal company position.

Shirley's daily research work

It has become a matter of remotely controlling the process via computer network from within the company.

Shirley, however, preferred to conduct experiments and research in the field.

However, the organization seemed to have some concerns and chose this way of working, which would leave all operational records.

Shirley had just entered the living room,

A figure appeared silently.

He hugged Shirley tightly.

"……childish."

Shirley's tone remained completely unchanged.

They seemed to recognize each other instantly.
