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

Because Shizuka Ikenami still wore her hair in a high ponytail, she looked very young.

“It’s hard to believe, isn’t it?” Izuki Karuta pulled out a group photo. “But Ms. Ikenami and Mr. Shibata were indeed classmates.”

In the group photo, Shibata Shiro's appearance is vaguely visible, and Ikenami Shizuka's features also match.

Officer Yokomizo could only believe that this beautiful woman, who looked to be only in her early twenties, was actually quite old.

But the suspicion remains very high.

Inspector Yokomizo speculated, "I think Ms. Ikenami killed Mr. Shibata first, and then asked Mr. Itake to investigate."

"Create the illusion that you've never met Mr. Shibata, and fabricate an alibi!"

Ikeba Shizuka said irritably, "If I had really killed someone, I would have run far away long ago. Why would I come here with someone?"

"If someone really wanted to forge an alibi, they wouldn't choose Itake Karuta."

“He recently solved an 18-year-old cold case. Only a mentally unstable murderer would bring him here.”

"You, a policeman, don't even know the time of death, and you're already suspecting me before you've even figured out the case. How ridiculous!"

"I have no idea how you became a criminal investigator!"

Now that Chibo Jinghua can't escape even if she wants to, and is being treated as the murderer, her mood is even worse. The aura of a martial arts master bursts out, and the cold light in her eyes is imposing without anger.

Startled, Officer Yokomizo took several steps back, chuckling awkwardly, "Y-yes, you're right..."

Officer Yokomizo sheepishly went to interrogate the other two about their travel itinerary.

Ikeba Shizuka's expression softened somewhat, and she then glanced at the person standing beside her. "Mr. Izuki, aren't you afraid?"

Most men, upon seeing her angry, would become as timid as mice.

Izuki Karita, however, stood calmly to the side.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid," Izuki Qingtian teased. "I'm just afraid that Miss Ikenami will escape when I'm not paying attention, then I'll be at a loss."

When the bet was brought up again, Shizuka Ikenami was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed: "How about this, I'll give you an extra 200 million yen, as for the bet..."

Izuki Qingtian shook her head: "Sorry, I don't need the money."

"Besides, it's not like we haven't kissed before today."

"A person should keep their word... Ms. Hattori Shizuka, don't you agree?"

These words directly revealed Ikebami Shizuka's true identity.

Ikeba Shizuka was startled: "W-what do you mean by this?!"

"threaten me?"

She never expected that Izuki Shigeda would find out her true identity so quickly.

Izuki Karuta laughed and said, "How dare I threaten the wife of the dignified Osaka Prefectural Police Chief?"

"This is just a reminder to Miss Chibo that she should be a person of integrity and not break her promises."

"If your family finds out that you broke your promise, Miss Ikebami must be going through a lot of pain, right?"

Since they have already been involved in the case,

Sooner or later, the police will find out Shizuka Ikemura's true identity.

Now that the bet has been settled, there's no need for Itsuki Karata to continue the charade.

"You...you dare to..."

Chi Bo Jinghua was furious and embarrassed, her emotions surging.

Izuki Shizuka wasn't going to give her a chance to make trouble. She grabbed Ikenami Shizuka and kissed her... big...

Chapter 212 Blocking the bathroom and kissing wildly

This bold move really scared Ikeba Shizuka half to death.

This is the crime scene, surrounded by police officers, with countless eyes watching.

Izuki Shigeta actually hugged her at this time.

Won't the news of her being forcibly kissed spread throughout Japan very quickly?!

Ikenami Shizuka tried to resist, but she was held tightly and her hands were bound, making it difficult for her to exert any force. Izuki Shizuta was also very strong, and she could not break free at all.

"Ugh...ugh...ugh..."

Ikenami Shizuka could only manage to rebuke Itake Shizukata's behavior with a muffled voice and a murderous gaze.

Yi Zhuqingtian chuckled inwardly. He had already set up an illusion array that moved with them, so in the eyes of others, they were just walking side by side as normal.

However, in order to keep Shizuka Ikenami in line,

Izuki Karita led her into the restroom and closed the door.

No one else was watching.

Ikeba Shizuka wasn't actually that panicked, but the murderous intent in her eyes remained undiminished, and she continued to protest.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

Izuki Karita had been kissing for over a minute, but still hadn't let go.

Another half minute passed, and Izuki Karuta still showed no sign of stopping.

Ikeba Shizuka was also feeling a bit dizzy from lack of oxygen, so she quickly wrote words on Itake Karita's back with her hand.

Ikenami Shizuka: "Let go! I've already kept my promise, what you're doing is a crime!!!"

Following suit, Izuki Karuta wrote on Ikenami Shizuka's back: "When making a bet, there is no time limit."

"So theoretically, I can keep kissing as long as I want."

"Ms. Ikenami, next time you make a bet with someone, remember to add some restrictions."

……

15 minutes later,

Izuki Karuta and Ikenami Shizuka came out of the restroom.

It wasn't that the two kissed for a full 15 minutes.

In reality, Izuki Karuta only kissed him for 3 minutes.

Over the next 12 minutes, Izuki Karuta unknowingly led Ikenami Shizuka into the Dream Array.

In the dream, Ikebab Shizuka revealed many secrets to Itsuki Karuta.

For example, Hanzo was seriously injured while on a mission before their marriage and became incapacitated; Hattori Heiji was adopted.

Furthermore, Hanzo had never been able to defeat Ikenami Shizuka, resulting in him being left alone in his empty room for so many years...

After staying in the dream for well over 12 minutes, I woke her up.

"It seems that Miss Ikenami has been sleeping poorly lately."

Izuki Qingtian teased, "Or was the environment just now so comfortable that you fell asleep halfway through?"

Ikeba Shizuka was immediately embarrassed and annoyed, and glared fiercely at Izuki Qingtian.

However, its deterrent power has diminished considerably, and the murderous intent in its eyes has vanished without a trace.

Instead, it's like a girlfriend throwing a tantrum, deliberately acting fierce.

Izuki Karuta said with a regretful look, "I wanted to kiss her longer, but Miss Ikenami is too cute when she's asleep."

"I had no choice but to wait on the sidelines."

Now, Ikeba Shizuka's face turned even redder, and she quickly ran to the balcony to cool off.

Ikenami Shizuka really didn't understand why she fell asleep, nor did she know how much she had been taken advantage of by Itake Shizuta while she was asleep.

But what I can't understand even more is why she would have such an absurd yet incredibly real dream.

If everything hadn't been normal when she woke up, Shizuka Ikenami would have really thought that what happened in her dream had actually happened.

What Shizuka Ikebab found most unacceptable was that in her dream, she actually accepted it half-heartedly, and even seemed to enjoy it.

Looking back now, even if it was just a dream, it was still incredibly shameful and immoral.

After cooling off on the balcony for 5 minutes, Ikenami Shizuka's complexion finally returned to normal, and she was immediately called out by Officer Yokomizo.

At this point, Kyoko Shibata was already considered by the police to have an alibi.

Yoshikawa had no alibi, and in order to appear less suspicious, he launched another attack on Ikenami Shizuka:

"In my opinion, the woman in the kimono is the most suspicious. The photo Shibata has is a death notice, which proves that she is the murderer!"

"And why would an old classmate I haven't seen for decades die just as we're about to meet? It's too much of a coincidence!"

By this time, the approximate time of Shibata Shiro's death had been determined.

Officer Yokomizo then asked again, "Ms. Ikenami, where were you between 8:00 and 8:40 this morning?"

Shizuka Ikenami: "At that time, I was still at home in Osaka, preparing to leave for Tokyo... There were no witnesses."

At this moment, the police officers who were collecting evidence at the scene came over with a novel, saying that it had been found under the deceased.
