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

"Heiji, you need to provide evidence before you speak!"

Kazuha also voiced her opposition.

Inspector Megure looked at Hattori Heiji with a questioning gaze.

If Ran Mouri's statement is true, then Karuichi Itake does indeed have sufficient alibi evidence to clear him of suspicion.

"He has a statement of alibi."

"But Izuki Karuta knows hypnosis!"

"They can control others and use puppets to commit crimes!"

Hattori Heiji said loudly.

then,

Izuki Karuta then revealed the look one would give someone with intellectual disabilities.

Megure Juzo also put his hand to his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache: he hadn't expected this young man to be so unreliable.

If you ask Heiji Hattori what evidence he has to prove that Karuta Itake can hypnotize,

Heiji Hattori, of course, had no evidence, because Conan told him this.

The problem is that Conan doesn't know much about hypnosis either, since the information was provided to him by Yusaku Kudo.

Now, neither Izuki Karuta, Kazuha, nor Mouri Ran had time to commit the crime and had sufficient alibis.

None of the three wanted to linger at the crime scene, so they told each other they would go to Morimoto's guest room to play cards and went downstairs.

After locking the guest room door,

"Mr. Itake, will Butler Shigematsu be alright?"

"There was a lot of blood on the floor at the crime scene."

"Still in a coma..."

Kazuha was somewhat worried.

The bloodstains at the scene were really too glaring.

"Don't worry."

"It just looks scary."

Izuki Qingtian comforted her gently.

Before entering the room where the crime scene was located

Izuki Shigeta had already scanned it with her divine sense.

I know that although Butler Shigematsu had been stabbed in the heart and lost a lot of blood.

Fortunately, the knife did not pierce the heart directly.

The fact that he fainted just now is most likely due to excessive blood loss or an attack.

Afterwards, the three of them played a poker game in the room for a while.

About 20 minutes later,

Izuki Karuta took out her phone and called the hospital that was treating Shigematsu's butler to inquire about the situation.

The attending physician's reply was exactly what Izuki Karuta had guessed.

Butler Shigematsu has only lost too much blood; his injuries are not serious, and he is currently receiving a blood transfusion.

If I'm lucky, I might wake up in a few hours.

"Mr. Yizhu, you are truly amazing."

"Thanks to you!"

Kazuha cheered and jumped into Itake Karuta's arms.

dong dong dong——!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The three of them looked at each other.

Kazuha quickly increased the distance between them.

Izuki Karuta walked to the door and opened it.

It was Hattori Heiji who knocked on the door, with Conan beside him.

"what happened?"

"They've found evidence that I used hypnosis to commit murder."

Izuki Karuta countered with a question.

Heiji Hattori and Conan looked into the room.

They noticed that both Ran and Kazuha were dressed neatly.

Looking again at the playing cards on the table,

It was clear that the three of them were simply playing cards in the room.

"I just wanted to ask about some things."

"For example, did you see anyone leave while you were going upstairs...?"

"Or have you discovered anything unusual?"

Heiji Hattori asked a question, but did not mention hypnosis again.

The three people in the room all said they had no clues to offer.

Heiji Hattori and Conan left quickly.

After locking the door again,

"Speaking of which..."

Kazuha was about to say something,

But they found that Ran Mouri was gesturing with her eyes and making a shushing gesture.

"Let's continue playing poker."

As Ran Mouri said this, she pointed to a spot in the corner next to the door.

There was a potted plant there, and on the pot of the plant was a small, grayish-white sticker-like thing stuck to it.

"It's a bugging device."

Mao Lilan whispered.

"Was it Conan who planted it?!"

Kazuha's attention was mostly on Hattori Heiji just now.

Since it's clear that Heiji Hattori didn't have time to do such a thing, it can only be Conan.

"That brat is really no good!"

Kazuha then remembered Ran Mouri's earlier advice.

"It doesn't matter, they can't hear anything."

Izuki Shizuta chuckled softly.

He took out his portable voice recorder, recorded the sound of shuffling and dealing playing cards, and put it next to the bugging device to play it on a loop.

The guest rooms at the Mori family's house are unusually large.

The place where the three of them were just now was the living room, which was near the door.

On the left, there is another door leading to the bedroom.

Do not want to be eavesdropped on

The three of them then went into the bedroom.

At the crime scene,

As Conan listened to the sound of playing cards coming through his earphones, his wariness slowly dissipated.

Temporarily removing his headphones, Hattori Heiji focused intently on solving the case.

Chapter 113: The three men make friends through martial arts, while the other two are solving a case.

"Xiao Lan, that kick you just made was really cool."

"The power is incredible!"

After learning that Butler Shigematsu was not in mortal danger

Kazuha was relieved and started talking about Ran Mouri's kick that had just broken the door.

"It's just showing off one's limited skills before an expert."
