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

"What's there to be afraid of?"

The photographer patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Killing one is the same as killing two."

"After we've had our fun, we'll just leave Ayako behind."

"Anyway, Ayako took sleeping pills, so we'll just say it was Itake Karita who killed her."

"If the three of us point to him, who will the police believe?"

Hearing this, the fat man was also tempted.

He had already prepared for the worst. In Japan, the death penalty was practically nonexistent. Unless one assassinated the prime minister, the most serious consequence would be imprisonment.

But now there's a new plan.

Not only will they avoid jail time, they can also have a good time.

Even if they live a life of wealth and luxury in the future,

Who would miss out on such a great opportunity?

"Hey, where did that brat who was lying on the ground go?"

Just as the three were discussing their upcoming happy life,

The fat man suddenly realized that Conan was missing.

"What's there to be afraid of? He's just a kid."

"By the time that brat returned to the villa, everyone inside was already asleep."

The man in the headscarf, being a salesman, was quick-witted and soon calmed down, looking relaxed.

However, the thought of the beautiful woman in the villa made all three of them quicken their pace and head back.

During the interview, the photographer also took the time to ask about Chikako's situation.

Upon learning that the fat man had not yet committed the murder,

Because Chikako was willing to serve him, the fat man decided to take care of her after he got tired of her.

Everyone assumed that Chikako had been taken away from the villa.

In reality, the fat man hid Chika in the basement of the villa.

The basement was discovered by the fat man when he came to scout the location beforehand. He also took the only key and the basement was very well soundproofed.

Ayako didn't have the key to open the basement, let alone find Chikako.

A short while later, the three of them strode back to the villa.

Strangely, the food had been touched, but there was no one in the living room.

"Could it be that the brat got back even faster and already told everyone everything?"

The man in the headscarf frowned.

The fat man observed more carefully.

There were no muddy footprints at the entrance of the villa.

It's speculated that Conan, with his short legs, hasn't returned yet.

"Perhaps they ingested relatively few sleeping pills."

"I felt sleepy, so I went back upstairs to sleep."

The fat man speculated.

"Then let's go to the second floor now..."

The photographer was a little impatient.

But the fat man blocked his way.

"No, we need to deal with that brat first."

"That kid doesn't look stupid."

"What if he goes crazy and burns the house down in the middle of the night..."

These words made the other two people feel uneasy.

Indeed, that brat Conan actually knew how to play dead and eavesdrop on their conversation.

It's clear that he's not a child who can be easily fooled.

So the four of them decided to create muddy footprints at the entrance of the villa.

They hid in the dark forest next to the villa.

A short while later, a short figure appeared, stealthily and cautiously approaching the villa.

Who else could it be but Conan?

"Xiaolan!!!"

Noticing the messy muddy footprints at the villa's front gate,

Conan's pupils dilated in shock, and he shouted as he rushed into the villa.

But before he could even run through the gate, he was caught red-handed by the three men who were lying in wait.

"You brat, I've finally caught you!"

The fat man grabbed Conan by the neck.

"Yi... Yizhu... come out quickly!"

Conan tried his best to shout, but his voice was too soft because his neck was being choked.

"What's the point of calling that pretty boy?"

The man in the headscarf scoffed, "If he dares to come out, he's asking for death!"

“The three of you... even together... can't beat him…” Conan said with difficulty.

The man in the headscarf grew impatient. "You're so long-winded!"

As he spoke, he was about to deliver another chop to Conan's neck.

But the photographer blocked her way.

"That Izuki Karuta might actually have some skills."

The photographer recounted how he had been kicked away that afternoon.

At that moment, the photographer felt a sudden dizziness, and then he was thrown out.

But I always suspected that it wasn't Ran Mouri who kicked me, but rather Karuichi Itake.

After all, how could a girl with skinny arms and legs like Ran Mouri possibly possess such brute strength?

The three then inquired about Itake Karuta's fighting abilities from Conan.

Faced with danger, Conan naturally boasts and exaggerates how amazing Itake Shizuta is.

They even specifically cited the example of Eri Kisaki's kidnapping and the subsequent newspaper announcement.

The newspaper clearly stated that Izuki Qingtian knocked out more than a dozen bodyguards with her bare hands.

"No matter how powerful he is, he's taken sleeping pills now and can't cause any trouble."

"In my opinion, we should rush upstairs now, beat him up, and tie him up!"

The man in the headscarf was already itching to get going.

The fat man shook his head again, "Just in case, we should at least prepare some weapons to ensure we're absolutely safe."

That made sense, and successfully persuaded the man in the headscarf and the photographer.

The three went to the woodshed and found an axe for splitting wood.

I found a kitchen knife and a fruit knife in the kitchen.

After that, they knocked Conan unconscious, threw him into the basement, and locked him up.

Gu~~~

But just then, the fat man's stomach growled with hunger.

Like a chain reaction, the headscarf man and the photographer also started having rumbling stomachs.

The three decided to get something to eat first, because they would need energy after they were full.

Later, I'll have to go up to the second floor and have a very tiring battle with the beauties.

The man in the headscarf had laced the original food with sleeping pills.

There were no instant noodles in the villa, so the three of them had to cook noodles to eat.

The man in the headscarf wasn't just hungry, he was also feeling restless. While the other two were preparing food, he went to the basement to play with Chikako.

Seeing this, the photographer stayed by the stove for a while, then made an excuse to go to the basement to play.

Why should I be the one to watch the fire?

The fat man, also filled with rage, couldn't wait for the water to boil and headed to the basement.
