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

Vermouth was speechless and filled with regret.

Who comes to a Western restaurant to actually eat? The main focus is on a sense of luxury and atmosphere.

I knew this guy only talked about eating when he said he wanted to eat.

It's better to choose restaurants that offer large portions from the start.

Vermouth felt a deep sense of frustration.

Over the years, she has been confident that she can manipulate men at will.

This is the first time I've ever met such an unpredictable man.

High-end restaurants serve food very quickly.

A main course is served every few minutes.

Every day, I see you when I look up but not when I look down.

Izuki Karuta didn't bother to talk to Vermouth either.

Pick up your knife and fork and start enjoying your meal.

One by one, the food was served and eaten.

This also means that Vermouth's money was being devoured by Itake Karuta like water flowing away.

You'll get what's coming to you later!

Vermouth maintained a slightly angry expression on her face, but secretly she was laughing to herself.

Actually,

The investors behind this restaurant are one of the organization's front men in Japan.

Although the prices are high, you can get a discount of almost cost price by presenting the exclusive card at checkout.

In addition, Vermouth also secretly sent a text message.

Instruct the waiters assigned to this location to add some condiments to the dishes when serving them to Izuki Karita.

Vermouth cut a piece of steak and put it in her mouth.

I'm looking forward to seeing how disheveled Izuki Shigeta looks later.

But today, the steak tastes a little different than usual.

It doesn't quite look like steak; it's more like pork chop...

But soon, Vermouth couldn't care less about the taste and could only squat in the bathroom.

"What an idiot!"

"They even added laxatives to my food!"

Vermouth gripped the tissue tightly in her hand, silently roaring in her heart.

However, considering that Izuki Karuta must have eaten ten times more, it's understandable.

Vermouth felt a little better knowing that the situation in the men's restroom next door must be even more intense.

A good half hour passed, and I even took some stomach medicine.

Vermouth's legs went weak, and she had to lean against the wall to walk out of the bathroom.

It was only when paying the bill that they learned from the cashier that Izuki Karita had never gone to the restroom.

Even after finishing those dozen or so dishes, Izuki Shizuta ordered a dozen or so bottles of expensive fine wine and took them away.

And these bills were naturally all charged to Vermouth.

"Izuki Karuta, I'm not done with you yet!!!"

Vermouth pulled out her VIP hotel membership card, looking pained.

Even with a big discount, the total cost of these wines is already over two million yen, so there's limited room for further discounts.

It's fair to say that in the time it took to eat that one meal, Vermouth's entire month's salary as an assistant was gone, all eaten up by Izuki Karata.

And on the other side,

Yi Zhu Qing Tian carried more than a dozen bottles of fine wine and took a taxi home.

Just kidding, how could Vermouth's little tricks possibly escape his notice?

He threw an illusion spell at Vermouth, making her mistake the spiked pork chop for a steak, and she suffered the consequences.

As for the dozen or so dishes that had been spiked...

With just a slight circulation of her cultivation technique, Izuki Shigeta could easily counteract the effects of the laxative.

As soon as I got home, I spotted Ran Mouri.

"Where did they go? Why is their phone off?"

"Mom is missing!"

"Mr. Yizhu, please help me find my mother!"

Ran Mouri rushed over and unleashed a barrage of words like a machine gun.

It was only then that Izuki Karuta remembered,

My phone was switched off from the moment I left the abandoned factory until we finished eating.

"Missing? How did she disappear? Have you reported her missing?"

As she asked, Izuki Karuta opened the door and invited Ran Mouri into the living room to talk.

"Around noon, my mother said she was going to eat and left the law firm, but she never came back."

"Ms. Midori Kuriyama from the law firm initially thought my mother had made an appointment with another client."

"It wasn't until all the clients who had made appointments in the afternoon had arrived, and my mother still hadn't shown up, that I started making phone calls."

"At this point, the phone could no longer be reached, and then Ms. Kuriyama found a note at the front desk."

The note read: "If you dare to call the police, Attorney Fei's life will be in danger!"

"Miss Kuriyama Midori dared not act rashly and could only tell her father about this matter first."

"When I got home and was about to cook dinner, I noticed that Dad and Conan looked strange, and that's when I found out what had happened."

Ran Mouri came here today to ask Eri Kisaki if she had apologized to Karuda Itake.

Unexpectedly, not only did she fail to meet Izuki Karuta, but Eri Kisaki was also kidnapped.

Chapter 51 Successfully Intimidating Eri (1/3)

"Mr. Yizhu, now it's up to you to help."

"If it had been any later, I don't know what might have happened to Mom..."

Ran Mouri was extremely worried, and she couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.

Their emotions are also very unstable.

Ran Mouri was already very concerned about Eri Kisaki.

At the Mori office, he was even more infected by Kogoro Mori's helpless look of scratching his head and not being able to think of a solution, and he felt extremely flustered.

As for Conan, after learning about the kidnapping, he immediately ran out of the agency and disappeared without a trace.

Ran Mouri was also at a loss and could not come up with a solution, so she could only wait at the door of Izuki's house for Izuki Karata to return.

And now, it is already 8 p.m.

"Don't worry, Attorney Fei should be fine for the time being."

Izuki Karita embraced the frightened Ran Mouri, who looked like a frightened fawn, and gently comforted her, wiping away her tears with a handkerchief.

"How do you know if Mom will be alright? Could it be..."

A hint of doubt appeared in Ran Mouri's eyes.

As intelligent as Izuki Karuta was, he immediately guessed that Ran Mouri suspected him of kidnapping Eri Kisaki.

Knowing that Ran Mouri was worried and confused, Izuki Karuta didn't take it to heart.

“Attorney Fei did visit today, and it turned into an unpleasant incident.”

“But you should know that I have no need to resort to such low-level tactics as kidnapping.”

At noon, Eri Kisaki took advantage of her break to come over, expressing her willingness to apologize and offer 100 million yen in compensation.

However, there is a condition for apologizing: Izuki Qingtian must sever all ties with Xiaolan.

Of course, Izuki Karuta would not agree and refused outright.

The negotiations failed, and Fei left with a sullen face.

It now appears that Eri Kisaki was kidnapped and abducted on her way back to the law firm.

"Since the note left by the kidnappers did not contain any information about a ransom, it proves that they were not desperate criminals who were short of money."

"In other words, some wealthy people hired the lawyer."
