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

"Also, I have another unwelcome request."

Ran Mouri suddenly leaned closer. "If Mr. Itsuki agrees, I will work even harder and be more obedient."

Izuki Karuta became curious and gestured for Mouri Ran to continue.

It was later learned that Ran Mouri's so-called "unreasonable request" was actually a request for him to pay more attention to and protect Eri Kisaki.

To prevent Eri Kisaki from being kidnapped again.

Ran Mouri had worried from time to time that Eri Kisaki would get into trouble because of her stance in court.

Let alone now.

"Don't worry about this."

"Attorney Fei is very famous. If anyone has any ulterior motives, it will definitely cause a huge uproar, and the outcome will not be good."

“Attorney Fei has helped many wealthy and powerful people. Out of respect for them, no one would usually resort to such methods.”

"The Kawada family committed this kidnapping mainly because Kawada Masato took a risk for his son."

Izuki Shizuta smiled and said, "Attorney Fei has been in the legal profession for ten years, and only this one kidnapping case has occurred. It can be seen that the probability of such a thing happening is very small."

The voice just fell,

Ran Mouri moved even closer.

She took the initiative to kiss his cheek.

"I never agreed to that..."

"This is for you."

Ran Mouri smiled broadly, "I thought you were taking advantage of the situation, but it turns out Mr. Izuki isn't that kind of person."

"Praise won't get you any discounts or special offers."

"mean……"

"What did you say?"

Soon, Izuki Karuta and Mouri Ran were playing and frolicking in the guest room, reviewing their karate knowledge.

When we got tired of playing, we went to the large bathroom on the first floor to take a bath together.

Together, we washed away the sweat from playing and practicing karate.

And today, Ran Mouri's karate training was very serious, meticulous, and patient.

Naturally, it was also more tiring than usual.

So much so that she fell asleep very quickly while taking a bath.

Izuki Karita looked at the beauty in his arms,

Looking at that unguarded sleeping face and those pink, delicate lips,

After a slight hesitation, I decided to adhere to professional ethics.

I did not take advantage of their vulnerability to taste it without permission.

Actually,

Izuki Karuta was quite interested in Ran Mouri's previous proposal.

Business can be done, but each matter should be handled separately.

Locating and rescuing Eri Kisaki is Ran Mouri's request.

As for protecting Eri from being targeted by malicious individuals, Izuki Karuta gave Eri a choice last night.

This is a deal between him and Eri Kisaki; there's no need to involve Ran Mouri.

After taking a bath, Izuki Karuta checked the time and decided to wake up Mouri Ran.

It's 7 p.m. now, and Ran Mouri hasn't had dinner yet. She can't just sleep until tomorrow.

"Mom should have already gotten off work by now."

"How about the three of us go out for dinner tonight...it's on me!"

Ran Mouri looked on expectantly as she leaned against Izuki Karuta's chest.

Her voice was soft, like she was being coquettish.

Izuki Karuta was also curious whether Eri Kisaki had made a decision.

Since it was Ran Mouri who was treating, he agreed to the arrangement.

8 o'clock in the evening.

The three met at the pre-booked restaurant.

After exchanging polite greetings, Ran Mouri began inquiring about the progress of Eri Kisaki's case.

The latest developments in the kidnapping case from a couple of days ago.

As the most famous top lawyer in Japan,

Eri Kisaki chooses to act as her own plaintiff's lawyer, suing Masayoshi Kawada for kidnapping.

The lawsuit progressed exceptionally smoothly.

Masato Kawada in court was the same as when he was taken away by the police.

Arrogant and nonchalant, as if he had something to rely on.

But as the defense lawyers suffered defeat after defeat, Kawada Masato's face gradually darkened.

The Kawada family has been deeply entrenched in Sakura City for decades, spending countless sums of money cultivating relationships, building connections, and nurturing politicians.

Why did none of these supposed helpers play their role?

Eri Kisaki shared the same thought.

Those expected obstacles,

For example, conversations among political figures, judicial bias, jury hesitation, bribery...

None of these appeared!

In this way, no matter how stubborn Kawada Masayoshi is,

In another day or two, the charges will be confirmed, and he will not escape the law.

"Mom is as amazing as ever!"

Ran Mouri looked very happy.

Out of the corner of his eye, he was stealing glances at Izuki Karuta.

Ran Mouri did some research today and even asked Sonoko.

Knowing that the Kawada family is an old local conglomerate in Beika City,

As the current head of the family, Masato Kawada often attends banquets with celebrities and political figures.

The Mori family is just an ordinary family, and facing the powerful background of the Kawada family will be a formidable challenge.

It must have been Mr. Izuki secretly helping out...

Otherwise, why would the Kawada family have given up so easily?

Ran Mouri's speculation softened as she looked at Shiori Itake.

Eri Kisaki shared the same thought.

She had long been prepared for a tough, protracted battle with the Kawada family.

As a result, none of them were of any use today.

Considering the deal proposed by Itake Karuta,

Eri Kisaki easily guessed that he was secretly exerting his influence.

Or rather, it was a deliberate display of strength to her.

This proves that he is not only capable of being violent and aggressive.

“It seems that a crime boom has recently swept through Mika City.”

"What are Attorney Fei's plans for the future?"

"Continue as a lawyer, or..."

Izuki Karuta tentatively opened her mouth.

Eri Kisaki must have already realized that

If you want to continue practicing law,

Similar situations will inevitably arise again in the future.

Threats, intimidation, kidnapping, and even targeting family members.

"..."

Ran Mouri was also concerned about Eri Kisaki's answer, and at the same time, she was conflicted.
