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

Izuki Qing Tian is still busy accumulating evil energy.

I didn't want to agree at first.

But after asking around, I learned that Xiaolan was also traveling with them.

Since Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri are going, Conan, who's always following along, will probably go too.

Wherever Conan appears, murder is inevitable.

Izuki Karuta agreed.

Not long after arriving at the foot of the mountain,

Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Mouri, and Conan appeared in front of you in the same car.

"Why did you invite him?"

Conan muttered under his breath, looking annoyed.

Ran Mouri was also somewhat surprised, because Sonoko hadn't mentioned that Karuichi Itake would also be coming.

"I've heard there are some wild animals in these mountains, like wolves and snakes, and I'm a little scared."

"Mr. Ichitake works every day, so I tried to invite him to come and play with me."

"This way, Mr. Yizhu can go out and relax, and we'll have a free bodyguard."

As Sonoko Suzuki explained, she secretly gave Ran Mouri a wink.

However, Ran Mouri couldn't understand the meaning behind those eyes.

"Sister Xiaolan is amazing enough, she doesn't need Mr. Yizhu's help!"

Conan stared intently at Izuki Karuta, his little face filled with wariness and vigilance.

The main issue was the kidnapping of Eri Kisaki last time.

After much hard work and investigation, Conan deduced that the kidnapping was most likely carried out by the Kawada family.

As it turned out, Izuki Karuta had already rescued Eri Kisaki before she could.

This made Conan suspect that Izuki Karuta was taking the opportunity to get closer to Eri Kisaki.

This was to achieve the goal of getting closer to Xiaolan indirectly and to plot against her.

Conan even suspects that Itake Karuta was also involved in the kidnapping case.

However, without finding any relevant evidence, Conan could only think about it in his mind.

"Although Xiaolan is powerful, she has never fought wild animals before."

“Mr. Yizhu is different; he can definitely handle it with ease.”

Sonoko Suzuki has great confidence in Karuda Itake.

She was right about that.

If they were to encounter a wild beast, Izuki Shigeta would only need to release a slight amount of his killing intent.

Any jackals, wolves, tigers, or leopards would immediately be so frightened that they would tuck their tails between their legs and run away.

For animals, a menacing aura is the most dangerous instinct, and they will naturally avoid it at all costs.

The Suzuki family's villa was located deep in the mountains, and the four of them set off from the foot of the mountain.

Today's weather is early summer, with pleasant temperatures.

The mountains and forests are lush and green, and the air is filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.

"Excuse me, Mr. Izuki, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"I hope I didn't disturb your thinking."

During the journey, Ran Mouri suddenly walked up to Karuichi Itake and lowered her voice.

She saw that Yi Zhu Qing Tian had her head down and her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

But Ran Mouri has some questions in her mind and wants to know the answers now.

Izuki Karuta smiled and gestured for Ran Mouri to continue.

He was just thinking that the weather here is so unpredictable, sunny or cloudy every day.

One moment it's summer, the next it's winter or autumn.

With such a large temperature difference every day, how do these trees in the forest survive?

Unable to understand it, Izuki Karuta could only interpret it as a unique operating rule of the Ke Xuexi plane.

“Mr. Yizhu, I was thinking of contacting my mother on the way here.”

"Before I started hiking, I called again, but I still couldn't get through; the phone was switched off..."

Ran Mouri was very worried about Eri Kisaki's condition.

In particular, Itake Karuda has now also left Beika City.

"Don't worry, when I helped Attorney Fei remove the curse a few days ago, I also dispelled the bad luck."

"Attorney Fei's luck has been normal recently, and nothing will happen."

"They probably just finished handling some important cases and are taking a nap."

Izuki Karuta couldn't possibly say it was because of him.

To avoid being disturbed, before exploring the mental illusion last night,

Both Izuki Karuta and Kisaki Eri turned off their phones beforehand.

After exploring the illusionary realm, Eri was exhausted and needed to rest, so she wouldn't wake up so quickly.

"That's good……"

Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, Mr. Itsuki, could it be that..."

But Ran Mouri stopped talking halfway through her sentence.

This piqued Izuki Karuta's curiosity.

"Nothing, nothing."

Ran Mouri waved her hand and said no more.

Actually, I wanted to ask what method Izuki Karuta used to remove the curse from Eri Kisaki.

If it's like a regular customer, holding a yoga diagram...

Ran Mouri couldn't imagine what Eri Kisaki would do.

However, when the three of them had dinner together last time, Eri Kisaki's attitude towards Karuichi Itake was quite normal.

It's unlikely to be that method.

And about ten meters behind the two.

"Let me go! You ugly monster!"

Conan was struggling to escape from Sonoko Suzuki's grasp.

With his small arms and legs, he didn't have much strength to begin with, so he was no match for them.

"You brat, if you say that again, I'll throw you down the mountain to be eaten by wolves!"

Sonoko Suzuki raised her hand and tapped Conan on the head. "Can't you see Ran is dating Mr. Itake?"

"You brat, don't ruin someone else's good time!"

Sonoko Suzuki arranged this villa visit.

The most important goal was to bring Ran Mouri and Karuda Itake together.

To be precise, the word "matchmaking" is not quite accurate; it should be "getting them to acknowledge their relationship."

At Matsumoto Sayuri's wedding, Suzuki Sonoko becomes aware of the romantic relationship between the two.

No matter how much she tried to subtly probe or hint, Ran Mouri always changed the subject and avoided the topic altogether.

Knowing her best friend didn't want to tell, Sonoko Suzuki could only try her best to keep the secret.

But she has always been outspoken, and she has countless questions for Ran Mouri, and more importantly, she has no one to discuss them with.

Suzuki Sonoko has been holding back for days, and she can't keep this secret any longer.

That's why this villa trip was arranged—to find clues so that Ran Mouri and Izuki Shizuta could no longer deny their relationship and would ideally admit it on the spot.

Now Ran Mouri is taking the initiative to approach Karuichi Itake, and the two are whispering to each other.

These two figures standing too close together are excellent evidence of this!

Sonoko Suzuki wanted to take a picture, but then she saw Conan rushing over and ruining things, so she quickly grabbed him.

"How could Sister Xiaolan possibly like someone like that?!"

"Ran-neechan likes Shinichi-nii!"

Conan gave him the look of someone looking at an idiot.

I can't understand it. He and Sonoko have known each other for over ten years. Why is this gossipy woman biased towards an outsider?
