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

"Uncle! Just now, Uncle Kudo... Uncle Yusaku Kudo called."

"They say they've deduced that Attorney Kisaki was most likely kidnapped by the Kawada family!"

Conan was looking anxiously at Kogoro Mouri, who had returned to the agency.

"Hey, where's Sister Xiaolan? Where did she go?"

"Uncle, why do you reek of alcohol?!"

In the afternoon, when confronted by Ran Mouri's persistent questioning, Kogoro Mouri finally revealed that Eri Kisaki had been kidnapped.

Conan immediately went to Eri Kisaki's office to check for any clues the kidnapper might have left behind and to ask Eri's assistant, Midori Kuriyama, some questions.

Afterwards, Conan went to the restaurant where Eri Kisaki often went for lunch to investigate the situation.

After a series of actions, Conan finally deduced that the Kawada family had the strongest motive for the crime.

Fearing that this would arouse suspicion and expose his identity, Conan wanted to use Yusaku Kudo to state this conclusion.

As a result, Kogoro Mouri didn't answer the phone.

Inspector Megure answered the phone, only saying "Call back at night" before hanging up.

Conan had no choice but to wait for Kogoro Mouri to return at the agency.

"E-Eri... hiccup..."

Kogoro Mouri, completely drunk, said, "She went to sleep with Ran..."

Even after the kidnapping, Ran Mouri insisted on staying at Eri Kisaki's place for one night.

Without Ran Mouri watching over him, Kogoro Mouri went off to have a good drink under the pretext of celebration, and has only just returned.

"Uncle! How was Attorney Fei found?!"

"Explain yourself before you go to sleep!"

Conan, brimming with curiosity, was left frantically shaking Kogoro Mouri's collar.

A drunk person can't withstand being shaken around.

"Wow--!"

The food and beer that Kogoro Mouri ate and drank instantly cascaded down three thousand feet.

Start watering the short Conan from the beginning.

It seems to be urging him to grow up quickly...

The next day, at four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Mr. Yizhu!"

After finishing with her appointments for the day, Izuki Karuta was passing the time watching TV on the first floor.

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice.

Turning around, I saw the energetic Ran Mouri.

Izuki Shizuta smiled, patted the sofa next to her, and gestured for Ran Mouri to sit down beside her.

Last night I absorbed 20,000 units of malevolent energy from Eri.

I can earn even more rewards today.

It's a sure-fire way to make money.

Ran Mouri glanced at Catherine, who was also in the living room, and...

She quickly put her arms around Izuki Shigeta's left arm and pulled him upstairs.

"Tch, completely smitten by a little girl..."

After the two went upstairs, Vermouth continued to plan her revenge.

As for why, it all started this morning.

Upon arriving at work on time in the morning, Vermouth immediately questioned Izuki Karuta, demanding that he pay the price for harming his colleague.

Then Vermouth was scammed out of another 200 million yen check.

Because Vermouth chose the restaurant herself.

Furthermore, Izuki Karuta stated that she also experienced diarrhea after returning home and had an upset stomach all night.

They suspect the restaurant is affiliated with the organization, that Vermouth intentionally harmed her colleague, and now she's framing and falsely accusing them.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Vermouth could only agree on the spot to pay 200 million yen in medical expenses.

However, knowing that Izuki Shizuta had been through a lot all night made me feel a little better.

At the time, Vermouth couldn't understand why Itsuki Karuta wanted to write an IOU and have her put her fingerprint on it.

By the time they realized what was happening, the IOU had already been taken by Izuki Karita.

"Izuki Karuta! You went to rescue Eri Kisaki last night! You're perfectly fine!"

“Give me back my money!!!”

Vermouth was shouting outside the reception room, and then...

Then you can only go back to the first floor.

There was nothing she could do; she couldn't beat him in a fight, and she didn't dare to curse him for fear of being cursed.

Moreover, the IOU has already been signed and fingerprinted, so who can I complain to?

The only thing we can do is to exploit Izuki Shigeta's weaknesses and devise a perfect revenge plan!

"Just you wait, Izuki Karuta, you'll pay for this sooner or later!!!"

Vermouth couldn't help but sneer.

Second floor, reception room.

Izuki Karuta couldn't help but suspect that Vermouth had been abused.

He was scammed out of 200 million yen and he's still sitting there grinning like an idiot.

He had already set up a formation at home.

You can hear all the sounds within your own home area.

Hearing Vermouth talking to herself,

Yi Zhuqingtian released her divine sense and glanced at it.

Seeing her laugh so hard it seemed almost schizophrenic, Izuki Karuta decided to be nicer to Vermouth from now on.

She's my assistant, after all. If she messes things up, who's going to help me deal with all the miscellaneous issues?

"Mr. Yizhu, thank you very much for your help last night!"

"I was supposed to come with my mom today, but she's been quite busy these past few days..."

After Ran Mouri sat down, she respectfully performed a dogeza (a traditional Chinese kowtow) for Karuichi Itake.

"In business, there's no need for thanks."

Izuki Karuta reiterated that rescuing Eri Kisaki was not an unpaid task.

It's not something that can be brushed off with a simple thank you or a deep bow.

What he wants is the reward he deserves.

Chapter 53 The More Obedient Xiao Lan (3/3)

Ran Mouri nodded.

Before asking Izuki Karuta for help, she had already figured out how to pay.

"Ten more private coaching sessions... Mr. Yizhu, do you think that's acceptable?"

Ran Mouri asked tentatively.

According to Izumi Karuta's pricing, the fee for this move should be at least 100 million yen.

Ran Mouri actually has Conan's 100 million yen living expenses.

But you should also keep some for daily use, just in case.

Of course, every penny saved is a penny earned.

If Izuki Karuta does not accept this payment method

It's not too late to pay in cash later.

"Ten times...that's alright."

Izuki Karuta had anticipated that Ran Mouri wouldn't be able to come up with much money in the short term.

In addition, the private karate lessons that Ran Mouri provided in the past few times were all quite good experiences.

Originally, there were also 23 private coaching sessions included.

This round is considered a renewal, increasing the number of times to 33.
