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

That 800 million yen is basically two years' worth of Matsumoto Sayuri's salary if she didn't eat or drink.

Izumi Karuta's target price is around 300 million yen.

"Ms. Matsumoto, aren't you being a little too sincere?"

Izuki Shizuta smiled.

His gaze began to scrutinize Matsumoto Sayuri more closely.

Her face was still the same face.

But just like on her wedding day, she dressed up carefully.

My hair is newly styled, and my clothes are new.

It exudes the charm of a mature woman in every aspect.

And that rare and exquisite figure.

If the lilies on the wedding day were the most beautiful and pure,

So today, Matsumoto Sayuri is the most attractive to the opposite sex.

"Is Mr. Itake not satisfied?" Matsumoto Sayuri asked.

Izuki Karuta picked up a corner of the banknote.

"I am satisfied with this check."

"The problem is that it's so sincere, and Ms. Matsumoto is dressed so beautifully today."

"I can't help but wonder... does Ms. Matsumoto have something else to say?"

Her previous fiancé had just been imprisoned.

Matsumoto Sayuri is dressed up so carefully today.

Izuki Qingtian couldn't believe that she had found a new Mr. Right so quickly.

She wasn't so narcissistic as to think that she had fallen in love with him at first sight.

Since she doesn't actually like him, yet she still wants to project the most attractive side of herself,

So, Matsumoto Sayuri today most likely has something important to ask of her.

Beauty has always been a tool for women to gain an advantage in negotiations.

"Since Mr. Yizhu has seen through it, I'll just get straight to the point."

"That's right, I do have something I need Mr. Yizhu's help with today."

Sayuri Matsumoto sat upright and primly.

"Please say."

Itake Karuta put the check back on the tatami mat.

Since you're asking someone for a favor,

Then this price needs to be renegotiated.

"Mr. Yizhu is a person with magical powers."

"The things we say in the room shouldn't be overheard, right?"

Before making her request, Sayuri Matsumoto asked about privacy matters.

"Ms. Matsumoto, please rest assured."

Izuki Shizuta said confidently, "Only you and I know what happened in this guest room."

There was only him and her, not heaven and earth.

In this Detective Conan world where there is no Heavenly Law,

Izuki Karuta is qualified to say that.

"Since Ms. Matsumoto asked this question, she must be about to do something extraordinary."

"Let me guess, do you want me to get rid of that troublesome Takasugi Toshihiko?"

Matsumoto Sayuri's expression hardened: "Why do you think that, Mr. Itsuki?"

Izuki Karuta said calmly, "Ms. Matsumoto and Inspector Matsumoto are safe and sound and have already been dealt with. They should be able to rest easy, but now they have to come and ask me for help."

"If Miss Matsumoto still has unresolved past grievances and wants to exonerate Takasugi Toshihiko, she should consult Attorney Hime."

"The reason you're coming to me now is probably to ask me to do the opposite of what Attorney He Fei did."

"That's easy to understand. With the financial resources and connections of the Takasugi Group, if they hire a good lawyer, Takasugi Toshihiko will only be in jail for a year or two at most before he can be released."

"After all, from a legal point of view, Takasugi Toshihiko's actions can at most be considered a failed poisoning attempt, without causing the death or injury of anyone else."

"It's easy to imagine that after he's released from prison, Takasugi Toshihiko will secretly seek revenge... it won't even take a year or two."

Izuki Karita said softly:

"What will you do then, Miss Matsumoto, who is powerless to even kill a chicken? What can you do?"

Chapter 41 Little Lily's Private Music Tutoring

"If Takasugi Toshihiko wants to continue his revenge, it's very simple; he just needs to target Ms. Matsumoto."

"Even a kidnapping could cause Inspector Matsumoto to break down, act impulsively, and do something irreversible."

"Since Takasugi Toshihiko was able to do something like poisoning a couple of days ago, kidnapping would be an easy task for him."

Izuki Karuta smiled and said, "If Takasugi Toshihiko could disappear, it would be a great thing for both Ms. Matsumoto and Inspector Matsumoto."

A police officer with the rank of superintendent was poisoned by his future son-in-law at his daughter's wedding. Even though the police tried their best to keep the news confidential, they couldn't stop others from overhearing.

The incident of poisoning the wedding has been reported in major newspapers in recent days and has become a topic of conversation in Mika City.

Furthermore, the Takasugi Foundation has now hired a team of renowned lawyers to defend Toshihiko Takasugi.

"So...Mr. Izuki, could you make that guy disappear?"

Matsumoto Sayuri stared intently at Itake Karuta.

Yesterday, Matsumoto Sayuri even went to see Takasugi Toshihiko to find out what he was thinking.

As a result, Takasugi Toshihiko became extremely arrogant. Although he did not say it explicitly, he used lip reading to threaten that he would definitely seek revenge on the Matsumoto family after being released from prison.

Matsumoto Sayuri didn't sleep well all night, and couldn't think of any other way to deal with Takasugi Toshihiko, this ticking time bomb.

As for his father, Matsumoto Kiyonaga, neither his official position nor his personality would allow him to cross the line.

Matsumoto Sayuri didn't want her father to cross the line, but she was even more unwilling to watch him be plotted against.

After much deliberation, I decided to go to Izuki Shigeta to see if there were any other possibilities.

"Don't ask me if I can do it."

“Ms. Matsumoto, I will accept the commission as long as you offer a satisfactory reward.”

A playful smile appeared on Izuki Shizuta's face.

Killing Takasugi Toshihiko was as easy as crushing an ant for Itake Karuta; it was nothing at all.

"The extra amount in that 800 million yen check..."

"as well as……"

Sayuri Matsumoto stood up as she spoke.

She moved gracefully to Yizhu Qingtian's side.

"I wonder if Mr. Yizhu would be interested?"

This was Matsumoto Sayuri's own decision; she did not discuss it with her father.

Therefore, it was impossible to make any further financial promises to Izuki Karuta.

All we have left is this little bit of leverage.

After all, it involved human lives, and Matsumoto Sayuri knew that it would be difficult to move Itake Karuta if she didn't show some sincerity.

Moreover, what she wanted was not just for Takasugi Toshihiko to die, but for him to die silently and without leaving any trace, to the point that it would not implicate the Matsumoto family.

“I prefer a slow and steady approach,” Izuki Qingtian said calmly. “If it’s a one-off transaction, I can find one anywhere.”

"How do you mean by a steady, long-term approach?" Matsumoto Sayuri asked.

“30 times, Ms. Matsumoto, please provide me with 30 private music lessons.”

Izuki Karuta also knew that Matsumoto Sayuri couldn't offer any more bargaining chips.

In addition, he had absorbed a lot of evil energy from the father and daughter before.

The amount of compensation demanded should be limited to a certain level.
