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

That's strange, really strange.

Judy's way of addressing Itake Shigeaki has changed to "Mr. Itake."

Moreover, their attitude became increasingly respectful, as if they had been brainwashed.

In fact,

Today, Shuichi Akai is sacrificing his image by dressing as a woman for two important missions, one overt and one covert.

On the surface, he was with Judy, looking for an opportunity to meet with Itsuki Shigeda and try to win her over.

Meanwhile, Shuichi Akai was also secretly observing Jodie's every word and action to see if she had betrayed the FBI.

The intelligence sent from headquarters a few days ago contained four important pieces of information.

First, the general process of Gin's death.

Secondly, it is related to the burning of the laboratory and internal factional strife within the Black Organization.

Third, Izuki Shigeta is the mysterious assassin who recently joined the Black Organization, codenamed Daughter Red.

Fourth, Izuki Karuta is the real culprit who assassinated the Arkansas state legislator using unpredictable and mysterious methods.

Given that Judy emerged almost unscathed from the attack a few days prior, it is highly suspicious.

Out of caution, Shuichi Akai only told Jodie the first and second messages.

Judging from Judy's behavior, it's pretty much confirmed that she's been brainwashed by Itsuki Shigeda.

More importantly, the first investigation result Judy sent back after her initial contact with Itsuki Shigeta was:

Izuki Karuta knows hypnosis! She can make people obey without them even realizing it!

Chapter 259 Female Body Banquet, Tomoko’s Courage

The situation is already quite clear: Judy is now under highly skilled deep hypnosis and has become Izuki Qingtian's informant planted in the FBI.

Shuichi Akai didn't believe that Jodie had been sleeping for the next hour.

They must be plotting something with Itsuki Karuta!

Fortunately, the relationship between Itsuki Karuta and the Black Organization was merely a facade, a relationship of mutual exploitation.

Keeping Judy around provides a middle ground for communication.

From now on, just don't tell Judy any information that might threaten her colleagues' lives.

Shuichi Akai then spoke up, "Since Izuki has accepted you today..."

"Don't forget to maintain the relationship regularly in the future."

"If the opportunity arises, we should continue to try to win him over."

Judy, who was following behind, nodded and responded.

Yet, a sense of relief welled up within me.

Although I was already prepared for this due to my profession.

But all her sacrifices earned her only a few indifferent words from Shuichi Akai…

Fortunately, the target was Izuki Karuta, not some old, fat tycoon...

……

At 8 PM,

In Shuichi Akai's room.

My phone suddenly vibrated; I had received a new text message.

Because Judy had been brainwashed, the FBI failed to notice Izuki Karuta for a long time.

The investigation only began in the last few days.

You won’t know the results if you don’t check them, but you will be shocked if you check them.

It was quickly discovered that a key member of the Black Organization was hiding in Yi Zhu's home today:

—Sherry.

"Akami Miyano and Sherry are both living at the Itake family's house?"

Shuichi Akai frowned deeply: "Such an important matter wasn't reported, Jodie, Jodie..."

"But how did Sherry suddenly shrink?"

Shuichi Akai once infiltrated the Black Organization, spending three years undercover, and has some understanding of the organization's members located in Japan.

However, his identity was exposed during an operation, and he began to be hunted down by Gin.

This also resulted in the FBI having no undercover agents within the organization, and being one step behind in obtaining intelligence.

According to Shuichi Akai, Akemi Miyano's younger sister, Shiho Miyano, also known as Sherry, should be 19 years old this year.

Why did I inexplicably regress to the age of a 12-year-old?

Shuichi Akai could only rely on his personal connections to ask the contact person with reliable information.

But the person didn't reply to the message for a long time.

Meanwhile, FBI colleagues in Japan suffered heavy casualties in the attack.

Shuichi Akai had no choice but to keep a low profile and continue his investigation.

……

After Izuki Karita returned to Beika, one thing after another happened.

The next day, Yumi Miyamoto and Miwako Sato came to visit.

There were also attempts by Jodie and Shuichi Akai to win them over.

On the third day, Tomoko Suzuki sent her an invitation to dinner.

Of course, this is only the superficial reason.

Izuki Karuta understood this as well. Suzuki Tomoko definitely wanted to use a second chance.

To continue to achieve the plan that failed last time.

At 6 p.m., Suzuki's family car arrived at Izuki's house.

Twenty minutes later, Izuki Karuta returned to the Suzuki Estate.

"Mr. Yizhu, it's been a long time, you're still as handsome and dashing as ever~".

As soon as he got out of the car, he was personally greeted by Tomoko Suzuki, who even reached out her hand.

Izuki Karuta politely shook hands, "Ms. Tomoko is truly getting younger with age."

"You look better than when we last met."

This is not just being polite.

Tomoko Suzuki's cheeks were slightly flushed at that moment.

Izuki Karuta observed that her gaze was somewhat eager.

They guessed that she looked healthy because she was excited.

As for why he was excited... it was obviously because he couldn't forget about that unsuccessful plan.

Moreover, the previous experience must have been unforgettable for this business queen.

The two walked into the manor side by side.

From the manor gate to the residence, one needs to walk along a tree-lined path.

Izuki Karuta casually put his arm around Suzuki Tomoko's waist.

He noticed that the number of servants in the manor had decreased significantly compared to his last visit, as if it had been deliberately arranged.

Since no one would see it, Izuki Shizuta no longer needed to be so restrained.

“Yizhu…”

Suzuki Tomoko also murmured softly, her gaze fixed intently on Itake Karuta, and licked her lips.

Then, as if unable to contain herself, she stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss.

Izuki Karuta was not surprised at all.

Tomoko Suzuki has clearly been suppressing her feelings for too long, especially at this age...

Just as their kiss was getting more and more intense,

Suzuki Tomoko suddenly pulled away, panting, "We...we should go to the house first."

"I've invited you here today because I have important business to discuss."

"Let's grab dinner while we're at it..."

This was something that Izuki Karuta hadn't expected.

One can't help but admire the composure of this business queen.
