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

Page 172

Before leaving, Itake Karuta gave Yukiko one last warning.

It's mainly because of Sherry and Eri.

As Ichigo Karita walked away...

She let out a slightly aggrieved hum and muttered under her breath:

"Who are you trying to scare?"

"Anyway, you don't know who I am."

"Just you wait! When Conan and Yusaku get back, you'll be in for it next time!"

This was the first time Yukiko had been so manipulated and controlled by a man, leaving her utterly powerless to resist.

I simply cannot swallow this anger.

I'll make plans once I've fully recovered.

……

At half past nine in the morning,

Izuki Shizuta returned home and took a quick shower.

Later, I learned from Vermouth that Kazuha had made a phone call.

Heiji's specific situation wasn't discussed with Ye over the phone.

However, Izuki Karuta guessed that Heiji should be fine.

Otherwise, He Ye wouldn't have just called; she would have come straight over.

"Your missing day."

"What exactly happened with that person?"

Vermouth couldn't help but start gossiping.

Ever since I found out yesterday that Yukiko took Itake Karuta away,

Vermouth was constantly wondering what would happen between the two of them.

It was no surprise that Izuki Karuta returned unharmed...

What about Yukiko?

"The information fee is 300 million yen."

Izuki Karuta smiled.

Since Vermouth is so interested,

Of course, we should take advantage of this opportunity to make a quick buck.

"Too expensive, make it cheaper."

"100 yen."

Vermouth doesn't want to work at a loss every day.

"If you don't want to hear it, then forget it."

Izuki Karuta went straight upstairs.

They don't give you any chance to negotiate the price.

Vermouth, driven by curiosity, felt an itch to explore further.

300 million yen is far too high.

Even if Vermouth were rich, she wouldn't be willing to spend money like that.

If Izuki Karuta always gets away with it so easily...

They'll definitely be even worse next time!

5 p.m.

After getting off work, Vermouth quickly left Izumi's house.

I'm going to go and find out about Yukiko's situation.

However, on the way,

Vermouth suddenly received a text message.

They had no choice but to get off the bus, change course, and head to the organization's base to report the mission status to their superiors.

"Regarding the connection between side effects A and the transporter."

"After testing on more than ten subjects, the conclusion was:"

"Sherry's shrinking has nothing to do with Izuki Karuda."

"Even the blessings and warding off of misfortune by a fortune teller cannot reproduce the side effects of A."

Vermouth used a specific communication tool at the base to report top-secret intelligence to her superiors.

Sherry shrunk just after she came into contact with Izuki Shizuta.

Izuki Karuta also possesses the ability to significantly influence the outcome of A.

The organization naturally became suspicious of this.

Vermouth secretly sent more than a dozen peripheral members to purchase Izuki Karuta's blessing or disaster relief services.

Afterwards, these members took A without knowing it.

However, all of these experimental subjects died on the spot, and none of them survived.

Is there any possibility that it will be detected?

The person on the other end of the phone asked.

"The possibility is extremely small."

Vermouth replied, "The test subjects are all newly added members on a temporary basis, and they are recruited and assigned tasks using spies from other factions."

"Only I know about this matter. No matter how powerful Izuki Karuda is, he couldn't possibly have known the future."

Vermouth was confident that she would not reveal the slightest secret.

After reporting on the work,

Vermouth received a new mission and left the base.

But soon after, another member of the organization arrived at the spot where Vermouth had been.

It was still the same communication tool, and it was still about reporting to superiors.

It's still the same task: the connection between Izuki Karuta and A0.7.

But the conclusion remains the same.

Two different individuals, secretly carrying out the same mission, one close to Izuki Karuda and the other far away, arrived at the same conclusion.

Only then did the person on the other end of the phone confirm that the information was true and accurate.

Two days later,

Izuki Karuta noticed that there were fewer suspicious individuals among the customers who came to her door.

It seems they've managed to keep it a secret.

Izuki Shizuta chuckled inwardly.

He had already realized that the organization had deliberately sent some people over to test the connection between the transporters and the side effects of drug A.

Izuki Shigeta could tell at a glance that the cause and effect, or rather the malevolent energy, of those unfortunate souls originated from him.

The malevolent energy generated under such circumstances cannot be utilized even if absorbed.

Izuki Karuta didn't absorb it at all.

It's easy to imagine that after those people took A, there was only one outcome.

Izuki Karuta wouldn't care about those unlucky guys.

Living in the cherry blossom country of Conan, the Grim Reaper elementary school student will one day come to their house to film an episode.

If you're really that righteous, you might as well just strangle Conan.

Unfortunately, it couldn't be strangled.

Two more days passed.

As expected, a guest came to visit:

—Distant mountains and leaves.
