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

Compared to last time, Yoko Okino was clearly more experienced.

This time, I even specially prepared a towel for wiping away sweat.

So that sweat won't soil the tatami mats after you release stress.

"Miss Yoko, please take care. You are welcome to come again if needed."

Izuki Karuta bid farewell to Okino Yoko with a smile on her face.

"Hmm~"

Yoko Okino responded sweetly.

After leaving the reception room, she couldn't help but bite her lip.

Izuki Karuta's words just now had a somewhat ulterior motive.

Could it be that he can actually see...?

Yoko Okino's cheeks immediately began to burn, and she quickly went downstairs and left the Itake family home.

As I passed through the living room, I noticed several young, beautiful women waiting there.

Even Yoko Okino doesn't think she's better than them in terms of appearance.

'Who are they? They seem to know each other…are they Mr. Izuki's friends?'

With so many beautiful female friends, even if Mr. Izuki did see them, he probably wouldn't care...

Yoko Okino thought quickly, feeling a sense of relief but also a strange sense of disappointment, before finally leaving with mixed feelings.

After Yoko Okino left

Catherine addressed a woman sitting on the sofa:

"Ms. Matsumoto may now go up and meet Mr. Itake."

Shortly after Yoko Okino arrived

Matsumoto Sayuri then arrived with Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.

The three of them waited in the living room for nearly half an hour.

"Who exactly is that woman?"

"They were dressed so thickly that we couldn't see what they looked like, and they stayed on the second floor for so long."

"Is she Mr. Yizhu's girlfriend?"

Sonoko Suzuki inquired about it with a gossipy air.

Of course, Catherine wouldn't answer these questions that involved client privacy.

"From behind, he looks somewhat familiar."

Ran Mouri muttered something under her breath.

Meanwhile, Matsumoto Sayuri had already picked up the gifts for her visit and was preparing to go to the second-floor reception room.

"Mouri-kun, Suzuki-kun, if you have other things to do, you can go back now."

Actually, Matsumoto Sayuri hadn't planned to bring these two students with her today.

Ran Mouri calls her every day, asking when she will visit Itake Karuda to thank him.

After learning the exact date, Ran Mouri brought Sonoko Suzuki along today.

"It's alright, we don't have any other plans for today."

"Matsumoto-sensei, let me help you carry these things."

As Ran Mouri spoke, she easily took the gift from Sayuri Matsumoto's hand with her superior strength.

Ran Mouri was somewhat uneasy about letting the beautifully dressed Matsumoto Sayuri meet Itake Karuta alone.

Normally, even if you're going to someone's house to express your gratitude, you wouldn't need to wear such elaborate makeup, would you?

Chapter 40 Little Lily's Request

Ran Mouri, knowing that Sayuri Matsumoto was going out with a large sum of money, decided to escort her for safety reasons.

When they arrived at the Matsumoto house early, they found that Matsumoto Sayuri had put on exquisite makeup and was still struggling with which outfit to wear.

Ran Mouri immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Even if Izuki Karuta did help a lot, Matsumoto Sayuri was just visiting to express her gratitude, so there was no need for her to dress up so elaborately.

After informing her best friend over the phone, Sonoko Suzuki, who always loves gossip, rushed over excitedly.

Afterwards, the two best friends accompanied Matsumoto Sayuri to choose gifts for their visit.

During that time, Matsumoto Sayuri even got her hair done.

This took a lot of time, and by the time I finished getting my hair done it was already noon.

The three of them had lunch before arriving at the Izuki family residence.

Matsumoto Sayuri looks radiant and beautiful today.

Now we have to go to the reception room for a meeting with Itsuki Karita, a man and a woman all alone.

Ran Mouri became increasingly worried.

"Alright, Mori-kun, Suzuki-kun, you two should wait in the living room."

"If I don't come down for too long, you can leave first."

As she spoke, Matsumoto Sayuri knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Izuki Karuta's voice came from inside the room.

Just as Matsumoto Sayuri was about to open the door and go in,

"Mr. Matsumoto!"

Ran Mouri grabbed Sayuri Matsumoto's wrist. "As for the money, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

As she spoke, Ran Mouri gave her best friend a look.

Sonoko Suzuki understood and continued, "What if you can't come up with that much money all at once..."

Before he could finish speaking,

Matsumoto Sayuri took each of their hands and said softly:

"Xiao Lan, Yuan Zi, your teacher knows you are good students."

"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem with the money."

"I just wanted to thank Mr. Izuki in person."

"And my father also has some things he wants me to ask Mr. Yizhu for help."

"Alright, you can go now. If it takes too long, you can go back first, don't wait for me."

After saying that, Matsumoto Sayuri ruffled the hair of Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.

Even though these two former students have grown to be almost as tall as her,

But in Matsumoto Sayuri's eyes, they are still the elementary school students they were back then.

This gesture of patting the head,

It also reminded Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki of their teacher Matsumoto, who was strict in class but gentle after class.

"Then let's go down first,"

"I won't disturb your conversation with Mr. Yizhu, teacher."

Even though Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki had already graduated from elementary school,

But I still feel that Matsumoto Sayuri is a teacher.

After watching the students go downstairs,

Matsumoto Sayuri entered the reception room.

Close the door, sit upright on the cushion,

He took out a check from his briefcase and said respectfully:

"Thank you, Mr. Yizhu, for your help a few days ago."

"The money in the check is Mr. Yizhu's payment, as well as a small token of my father's and my appreciation."

Izuki Shizuta glanced at the amount on the check.

800 million yen,

This is truly a very sincere check.

It's worth noting that teachers in Japan typically earn between 30 and 50 yen per month.

For a teacher like Sayuri Matsumoto who has been teaching for several years, if we calculate based on the median salary of 40 yen...
