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

The malevolent energy continued to accumulate.

When the malevolent energy reaches its peak, that will be the time of Minagawa Katsuhiko's death!

"Will...will I die?!"

"How could it be so serious?!"

Mina Watanabe stared in surprise.

"Mina, don't believe these things."

"Keyan is perfectly healthy, how could he possibly die!"

Guan Gu Xiang offered a few words of comfort, then continued:

"This Izuki Karuta is deliberately exaggerating the situation."

"They just want to take advantage of the situation to make money."

"Don't fall into his trap."

Sekiya Kaori had also read those rumors in the newspaper.

But like most people, he felt that Izuki Shigeda was just one of many charlatans.

"If you don't believe me, I can stay here."

"Together with you, we will welcome the arrival of Minagawa Katsuhiko's death."

Izuki Karuta said calmly, "I see a hint of malice in Minagawa Katsuhiko's brows."

"It seems that I often have conflicts with people in terms of interpersonal relationships."

“Over time, resentment accumulates.”

"Today is the day of reckoning."

"However, if Minagawa Katsuhiko's life is tough enough."

"Maybe we can pull through."

Izuki Karuta noticed this just now.

Surprisingly, only three men and two women from the tennis club attended the party.

I guessed back then that Katsuhiko Minagawa wasn't popular.

After all, tennis is a fairly popular sport in Japan.

The entire club couldn't possibly have only this many people.

After Izuki Karuta finished saying those slightly threatening words...

Mina Watanabe, standing nearby, became even more anxious.

Because, as Izuki Karuta said,

Katsuhiko Minagawa frequently got into arguments with classmates or club members in his university club.

Even as the tennis club president, many members of the club were dissatisfied with Katsuhiko Minagawa.

Minagawa Katsuhiko also has a stubborn personality and doesn't listen to advice.

The more others try to persuade him, the less willing he becomes to do so, which can easily lead to arguments with others.

"Mr. Izuki, please help Ke Yan avert disaster!"

Mina Watanabe pleaded.

“But Mina, it costs 100 million yen to avert disaster.”

"Where did you get so much money?"

Sekiya Kaori advised, "Even if our research is in danger today."

"We already know that, just remind Keyan to be careful."

"Why pay such a large sum of money?"

Even though Kotani Kaori continued to persuade him,

But after hearing Itake Karuta's accurate analysis of Minagawa Katsuhiko's personality,

They couldn't help but put away their contempt.

"If you think you can help Minagawa Katsuhiko escape this predicament."

“I don’t mind watching your efforts from the sidelines.”

Izuki Karuta smiled and looked at Watanabe Mina as she spoke:

"And Miss Watanabe, I imagine you won't be able to raise much money within three days."

"If you don't have enough money, I'm afraid I can't help you."

was saying,

The gate to the Minagawa family's house opened.

Several figures walked in through the door.

The leader was a burly, muscular man.

Two pretty figures followed behind.

"Is everyone here? The party is about to officially begin!"

"Why is Keyan still smoking in the backyard? Let's call him in."

The muscular man entered the living room and immediately started speaking loudly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Meanwhile, Izuki Qingtian's gaze fell upon the two familiar, beautiful figures.

It was none other than Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki.

Naturally

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki also recognized Karuda Itake.

"Surrounded by two girls in a corner."

"Mr. Itsuki is really popular."

Sonoko Suzuki muttered to herself, "But it's alright."

"Minagawa-senpai is mine now!"

Sonoko Suzuki attended the Valentine's Day party because...

She had her eye on the handsome Katsuhiko Minagawa and wanted to confess her feelings on Valentine's Day.

As for Ran Mouri, she was forcibly dragged over by her best friend, Sonoko Suzuki.

"It's no wonder that Mr. Yizhu is so handsome and popular with girls."

Ran Mouri said something in a calm tone.

But I was also a little curious.

I'm curious why Izuki Karuda is here.

This is clearly a Valentine's Day party for the Beika University tennis club.

Are you here to find a girlfriend, or is there something else going on?

Thinking of this, Ran Mouri quickly glanced at Mina Watanabe and Kaori Sekiya.

She discovered that the two women were not as beautiful or as well-proportioned as her.

The conclusion was immediately drawn: Izuki Karuta must have had other purposes for coming here!

A short while later, there were eight people in total, four men and four women.

They took their seats one after another around a long bench in the living room.

The one sitting in the superior position was naturally Minagawa Katsuhiko, the host.

Izuki Karuta didn't mind where she sat.

I casually sat down in a spot by the floor-to-ceiling window.

A few seconds later, Ran Mouri sat down to his left.

Sonoko Suzuki sat to his right.

Now, the seating arrangement is as follows:

Minagawa Katsuhiko, Suzuki Sonoko, Itake Karuta, Mouri Ran,

Muscular Man Wakamatsu, Sekiya Kaoru, Naomichi, Watanabe Mina.

The seating arrangement is generally based on men and women sitting next to each other.

After all, this is a common practice at social parties.

After everyone sat down around a table,

A woman dressed in a kimono emerged from the kitchen—Minagawa Chiyoko.
