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

The members of the film studies club are reminiscing about their university days.

As the conversation went on, the topic veered towards a person named Atsuko.

Atsuko was a member of the film research club, but she died two years ago.

"Why bring up dead people at a perfectly good gathering?!"

"What a bummer!"

Chikako Ikeda suddenly stood up, seemingly very uncomfortable with the name.

"Tch, just because he won a screenwriting award, he's acting all high and mighty." The turban-wearing man sneered.

"What did you say?!"

Chikako Ikeda's expression turned even more unpleasant.

Fortunately, Ayako smoothed things over, and the two didn't end up arguing.

Afterwards, Chikako Ikeda turned and left the villa.

They said they wanted to go for a walk outside.

"I hope Miss Ikeda will be alright, after all, she's been having bad luck..."

Ran Mouri was somewhat worried about Chikako Ikeda, who was acting alone.

"I'll go with them." The photographer got up and went out.

Ayako Suzuki reminded him, "Remember to bring an umbrella, the weather forecast says it will rain again later tonight!"

Afterwards, Ayako asked the chubby Ryoichi Takahashi to inspect and repair the roof to prevent leaks during heavy rain.

"Mr. Yizhu, why don't we take a walk in the woods?"

Sonoko suggested, "The air in the forest must be really fresh after a light rain."

Izuki Karuta didn't mind; after all, he was a high-quality customer who had received 200 million yen.

Moreover, Izuki Karuta was also somewhat curious.

Given Chikako Ikeda's original malevolent aura, she should have died soon.

Now that he has absorbed most of the evil energy, he should not be killed, but he will still encounter bad luck.

Under the influence of the butterfly effect, Izuki Shizuta had no idea how things would develop.

Shortly after entering the forest,

Izuki Karuta heard a voice shouting "No~ No~".

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the photographer was actually doing something illegal.

Chikako Ikeda resisted by pushing and shoving while shouting.

"Damn it!" Ran Mouri shouted and rushed forward.

Before Izuki Karuta could speak to stop him,

Ran Mouri had already kicked the photographer away... two...

Chapter 58 Outdoor Hobbies, Iron Fist Punishes Conan

"Beautiful lady, why don't we go for a walk together?"

Seeing that Sonoko and Itake Karuta had teamed up, the bandana-wearing man, Ota Katsuya, extended an invitation to Mouri Ran.

"I... I'll just stay with Sonoko."

Ran Mouri took two steps back, distancing herself from the bandana-wearing man, and unconsciously frowned slightly.

The man in the headscarf felt a little regretful as he watched the rare beauty leave.

Because he's handsome, he's always been successful at picking up girls.

Especially for naive young girls who clearly have no dating experience.

Unexpectedly, before I could even say another word, I made the other person frown.

"What kind of fortune teller is he? He's just a con artist who makes a living off his looks and scams women!"

The man in the headscarf looked at her with disdain.

Conan nodded vigorously upon hearing this, then followed Ran Mouri and left the villa.

"Mr. Ota is quite handsome, Ran. Why didn't you say yes just now?"

Sonoko teased, "Could it be... that you want to find someone even more handsome?"

As she spoke, Sonoko glanced at Itake Karuta, the meaning of her words being self-evident.

"I... I just don't like the taste of tobacco and alcohol."

Ran Mouri offered an explanation.

Because of Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri is particularly sensitive to, or rather, averse to, the smell of smoke and alcohol.

The smell of cigarettes and alcohol reminds me of Kogoro Mouri's life of eating, drinking, gambling, and neglecting his duties, which always puts me in a bad mood.

"Oh~~ So Xiaolan likes men who don't smoke or drink excessively."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Izuki doesn't smoke or drink excessively."

Sonoko looked as if she had just realized something.

It seems to be saying that Izuki Karuta is not only handsome, but also meets these criteria.

"Shinichi-nii doesn't smoke or drink."

Conan's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

I silently sent my heartfelt greetings to the garden.

Thankfully he came along. As expected, that gossipy old woman, Yuan, is trying to matchmake Ran Mouri and Karuichi Itake again!

"Stinky brat!"

Sonoko grabbed Conan by the collar and pulled him aside.

With a "thud," a punch landed squarely on Conan's head.

"I'm warning you, Conan, if you dare bring up this kind of thing again and upset Ran, I'm really going to beat you up!"

In Sonoko's eyes,

Even if Ran has seemingly come to terms with Shinichi Kudo's death,

But that doesn't mean there's no inner pain.

As Ran's best friend for so many years, Sonoko knows that Shinichi Kudo still holds a certain place in Ran's heart.

"Oh, I see..."

Conan then realized why Sonoko was so angry.

He realized once again that the identity of Shinichi Kudo was dead.

Mentioning this name only brings back painful memories for Ran Mouri...

This proves that he is very important to Xiaolan.

Conan had mixed feelings, both happy and regretful.

"I hope you really understood."

Seeing that Conan's attitude was correct this time, Sonoko didn't say anything more.

The two of them had no idea.

Ran Mouri wasn't sad at all.

However, some also believe that Conan definitely needs to be taught a lesson.

Otherwise, if you speak recklessly, you will surely get into trouble for what you say in the future.

The four of them wandered aimlessly through the forest for a while.

Suddenly, a woman's shout was heard:

“Stop now…”

"Don't...don't..."

And it was an extremely restrained kind of restraint.

Upon hearing the sound, Ran Mouri clenched her fists and quickly rushed towards the source of the sound.

The photographer was seen committing an illegal act next to the tree trunk, while Chikako Ikeda was restrained, struggling and shouting.

"Damn it!" Ran Mouri yelled and rushed forward.

Izuki Shigeta had just arrived, but before she could even speak to stop him...

Ran Mouri had already kicked the photographer, sending him flying to the side where he crashed into a tree trunk and couldn't get up for a long time.

“Ms. Ikeda, don’t be afraid, it’s already…”
