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

"But it's all Huimei's fault, it's because of what she said..."

Hoshino Terumi immediately interrupted with a smile: "I won't argue with you since Kaoru is still alive."

"Any other scapegoating can be pinned on me."

Upon hearing this, Kusano Kaoru felt a little embarrassed: "Since you care about me so much and rushed over late at night, I won't argue with you anymore."

Although Kusano Kaoru had regained consciousness, she was still very weak from blood loss and needed to rest more, so the others didn't disturb her any further.

However, Kusano Kaoru specifically asked Takeno Yuki to stay behind, saying she had something to say.

The others didn't think much of it and left the ward one after another.

Yueye Xue then cast an inquiring glance at Yizhu Qingtian.

Izuki Qingtian smiled and gave her a look that reassured her. After everyone left the ward,

Kusano Kaoru looked quietly at Takeno Yuki and said softly, "Yuki-nee, I don't blame you..."

Yue Yexue's nose suddenly stung, and tears almost fell.

Kusano Kaoru continued, "I saw it all when I was dying."

"If it weren't for Sister Xue showing mercy, I might be dead already."

"I saw it too. You were happy to know I was still alive..."

Upon hearing this, Yueye Xue could no longer hold back and hugged Kusano Kaoru, bursting into tears.

After calming down, she learned from Kusano Kaoru that...

It turns out that when Kusano Kaoru was dying, her soul left her body and she saw Takeno Yuki's regretful, panicked, and helpless expression.

They even swapped souls, returning to the time when she stole the opportunity to play the female lead in the TV series from Yue Yexue.

This forced Yue Yexue to become a model, where she had to resist the unspoken rules of the industry, work hard to earn money, and save money to take care of her father who had diabetes.

After personally experiencing the hardships faced by Yuki Takeno, Kaoru Kusano also regretted his past actions.

This must be Mr. Yizhu's supernatural abilities!

Yueye Xue recalled the rumors about Izuki Qingtian's various amazing abilities and firmly believed in them.

She thought it was already a great achievement that Izuki Karuta could help her get rid of the murder charge.

Unexpectedly, she was able to achieve this, allowing her and Kusano Kaoru to reconcile.

Just as Yueye Xue had thought,

This was indeed a tactic employed by Itake Karuta.

Even without the opportunity to be alone with Kaoru Kusano,

Within the range of divine sense, Yi Zhu Qing Tian can freely set up formations to trap them in the Illusionary Dream Formation.

Memories are very difficult to alter.

But human memory is also limited.

If similar things happen repeatedly and overlap, they can cover up some things.

Izuki Karuta repeatedly presented Kusano Kaoru with three dream sequences:

One segment is a memory of Yue Yexue's panic, regret, and even attempt to provide emergency care after she took action.

One segment is a memory of Kenzaki Osamu subsequently entering the bathroom, refusing to help the dying man, and even taking advantage of him.

There's another part that simulates the predicament that Takeno Yuki faced back then, and makes Kusano Kaoru experience it once again.

With repeated repetitions, Kusano Kaoru had long forgotten the initial situation and took the two previous dream sequences, which were difficult to distinguish as real, as real.

So even after waking up and knowing that Kenzaki Osamu was not the murderer, Kusano Kaoru insisted that Kenzaki Osamu had done it to take advantage of her.

When Yuki and Kaoru were in the hospital room, they came to understand each other.

the other side,

In the hospital parking lot.

"Mr. Izuki, please take my car."

Yoko Okino laughed and said, "I know where the Terumi Apartments are."

Hoshino Terumi said earnestly, "Yoko, you should go back and rest first. I'll drive Mr. Itsuki home."

"After all, this is my commission."

Yoko Okino could only nod. "Then, Mr. Itsuki, I'm entrusting Terumi to you. Please make sure she is healed."

"Treatment?" Izuki Qingtian smiled helplessly. "Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not good at this."

No one knows who spread the word that he cured a person in a vegetative state.

It's clear that the Reversal of the Mysterious Heaven Technique is not effective for healing and saving lives.

Hoshino Terumi, however, was full of confidence: "I believe Mr. Itsuki can be of help... if Mr. Itsuki is willing."

Since Hoshino Terumi trusted him so much, Izuki Karuta couldn't very well refuse again.

At least we need to find out what the illness is and whether there is any hope of recovery.

If it's a terminal illness

Izuki Karuta wouldn't mind some kind of end-of-life care or similar services.

Chapter 207 Hoshino Terumi is really going to die

Hoshino Terumi's residence is some distance from the neighborhood where Okino Yoko lives.

It wasn't a luxury apartment, just a regular apartment with one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom, and no kitchen at all.

Compared to Hoshino Terumi's status as an entertainer, it's really too shabby.

Hoshino Terumi said somewhat embarrassedly, "I should have asked Mr. Itake to go to a better place to talk."

"However, I feel most relaxed here. Please forgive me, Mr. Izuki."

Compared to Izuki Karuta's transfer fees, which often start at a million,

This monthly rent of 10 yen is really not enough.

"Don't worry about it," Izuki Qingtian said softly. "I can drink anything, whether it's fine wine or plain water."

In her previous career as a fortune teller, Izuki Qingtian had seen clients who were extremely wealthy and also those who were destitute; wealth was long gone.

While entertainers in Japan don't earn exceptionally high incomes, they still earn a middle-to-upper level.

Hoshino Terumi is quite famous, yet she can only live in such a place, which suggests that she must be seriously ill and all her money is spent on treatment.

"I wouldn't dare let Mr. Itsuki drink plain water." Hoshino Terumi started brewing tea, but her hands were visibly trembling with nervousness.

Izuki Karuta joked, "Is it really that stressful to be facing me alone?"

Hoshino Terumi blushed slightly and avoided the topic, talking about her own situation instead.

It turns out that Hoshino Terumi was already in the late stage of lung cancer, and despite spending a lot of money on special treatments, her condition did not improve at all.

Yoko Okino also donated a lot of money and encouraged Terumi Hoshino to undergo chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy is very painful, and it can also cause hair loss, physical weakness, and make you look unattractive.

Hoshino Terumi didn't want to end up like that, and besides, it was already late in her life; chemotherapy would only prolong her life.

"So you want to hire me to treat your cancer?"

"Izuki Shizuta asked."

Hoshino Terumi nodded. "Yoko heard that Mr. Itake had cured a person in a vegetative state, so she recommended that I give it a try."

"I wonder if Mr. Yizhu is capable of doing this?"

Izuki Karuta stared at Hoshino Terumi, but saw no expectation in her eyes.

So he frankly said, "To be honest, I don't have any good treatment for cancer... but..."

However, before he could utter those two words...

Hoshino Terumi smiled helplessly, "As expected, I knew this would be the answer."

Izuki Karuta continued, "Miss Terumi, don't be discouraged, although..."

Hoshino Terumi interrupted again: "There's no need to comfort me, Mr. Itsuki. I was already prepared."

"So this time, what I really want to entrust to Mr. Yizhu is not to treat the illness."

At this point, Hoshino Terumi's pretty face flushed even more, "but I wanted Mr. Itsuki to help me fulfill an unfulfilled wish before I die."

After being interrupted repeatedly, Izuki Karuta sensed Hoshino Terumi's obsession with this wish. "Go ahead and tell me. If it's interesting, I'll consider helping."

As for those things that haven't been said yet, we can say them later.

"I think……"

Hoshino Terumi blushed and boldly sat down next to Izuki Karuta. "I want to stay by your side for an hour."

Izuki Qingtian had expected her to say something outrageous, but her dying wish turned out to be so simple.
