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

"That's because I used to give way to you guys."

"Don't think that my strength is only what I've shown..."

Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Izuki Karuta smiled.

I sparred with them before.

It's just that we're worried about them getting hurt or running out of energy, so we're holding back depending on the situation.

Actually,

When the malevolent energy is abundant, Izuki Shigeta is perfectly capable of working without sleep or rest.

But there's no need for that.

Ten minutes later,

"Mr. Izuki—!"

"We lost..."

Both Ran and Kazuha accepted their defeat willingly, completely surrendering themselves to the defeat.

However, they did not come away empty-handed.

At least during the intense sparring sessions with Izuki Karuta,

Both Ran and Kazuha realized their shortcomings, and as long as they could correct them, they would make significant progress in martial arts.

And on the other side,

After more than an hour of investigation and reasoning,

Heiji Hattori and Conan finally found the key information and deduced that the real culprit was the young master of the Morizono family, who was also the groom-to-be who was getting married the next day:

—Kikuto Morizono.

As for Kikuto Morizono's motive for committing the crime, it was because the butler, Shigematsu, suddenly approached him in the evening and asked him to cancel the wedding the next day.

She also threatened to tell her father about Kikuto Morizo's illegal activities, such as embezzling company funds, if he did not agree.

Kikuto Morizono was afraid of being blackmailed like this again and was unwilling to give up his wedding with Kaede Katagiri, so he ruthlessly killed her.

"No, Kikuto, you've misunderstood..."

Katagiri Kaede, the bride-to-be, said, "Butler Shigematsu advised you to cancel the wedding because... the one I love has never been Kikuto."

It turns out that Katagiri Kaede has always been in love with the male servant who catches cats, Sakuraba Yuuji.

The two had been having secret rendezvous at the Morizono residence, but the butler, Shigematsu, misunderstood and thought that Katagiri Kaede was a guest visiting Morizono Kikuto, so he introduced them.

As a result, Kikuto Morizono fell in love at first sight.

Yuuji Sakuraba 2.0 is the adopted son of the butler Shigematsu, a fact he can only accept silently and has never spoken of.

Tonight, the butler noticed the exchange of glances between the two during dinner. After questioning them, he realized something was wrong and persuaded Kikuto Morizono to cancel the wedding after dinner.

"No, it's impossible!"

"I am the young master of the Morizono family."

"Xiao Feng, how could you possibly abandon me for that lowly male servant?!"

When Kikuto Morizono learned the truth, his self-esteem was severely damaged.

At this moment,

The hospital called to say that Shigematsu's housekeeper had slowly regained consciousness after a blood transfusion.

"Young Master, this is all my fault."

"It's normal for you to be annoyed."

"Please let Sakuraba and Miss Kaede leave."

Butler Shigematsu did not pursue the matter of Kikuto Morizono's attempted murder.

But the prerequisite is to allow Katagiri Kaede and Sakuraba, this ill-fated couple, to be together.

"……it is good."

Kikuto Morizono didn't want to go to jail, so he had no choice but to agree.

But a glint of malice flashed in his eyes as he lowered his head and left the room.

Chapter 114 Ran's Competitive Spirit, Heiji: You've been playing poker for so long

Butler Shigematsu and Kikuto Morizono reached a settlement.

The case was then closed.

Heiji Hattori and Conan went to the guest room again and knocked on the door.

The door opens,

Izuki Karuta, Mouri Ran, and Kazuha were still playing a card game in the living room.

Just like what Conan heard through the bug.

"They can play with just one deck of cards for so long."

"I'm really impressed by you guys."

Heiji Hattori couldn't help but complain.

He had been feeling uneasy while solving the case.

I thought the three of them would do something else in the room.

Although Conan kept saying that there was nothing unusual in the sound from the bugging device.

But Heiji Hattori couldn't help but worry.

"It's better than the two of you, who pounce on a case the moment you see it, without caring about anything else."

"If it weren't for the fear that you would frame Mr. Yizhu again."

"Xiao Lan and I left a long time ago."

Kazuha was also at odds with him.

"So, have the investigation results come out yet?"

"Did Mr. Yizhu use hypnosis to instigate someone to commit the crime?"

Ran Mouri brought up Heiji Hattori's previous statement again.

Hattori Taira could only chuckle awkwardly.

"Hattori, I already told you to stay calm."

Conan also muttered a complaint from the side.

He had previously warned Hattori Heiji to be careful not to leak the information.

Unexpectedly, when Hattori Heiji encountered a case, he mentioned hypnosis in front of Itake Karuta.

Didn't they know that doing this would arouse the suspicion of Itake Karuda?

"This... isn't all your fault?"

"They described Izuki Karuta's hypnosis techniques as something incredible."

Heiji Hattori and Conan were whispering to each other.

As for the other three...

I'm too lazy to stay any longer.

They quickly took a taxi and left Morizono's house to find a hotel for Kazuha.

As Hattori Heiji and Conan left the Morizono house,

"Conan, don't you think so?"

"Something seemed off about that room just now?"

"The perfume scent seems a bit strong."

Hattori Heiji frowned.

"It is indeed a bit strong."

"But that's Xiaolan's perfume."

"Xiao Lan has always been timid."

"I guess it was to get rid of the smell of blood at the crime scene."

Conan didn't find anything strange about it.

Heiji Hattori also thought Conan's explanation made sense, so he didn't think about it any further.

Actually,

That perfume scent isn't just on Ran Mouri anymore.
