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

"I didn't ask who gave me the sleeping pills."

"However, I have caught those three guys who wanted to do bad things and locked them in the basement."

Izuki Shizuta stretched.

It's time to go downstairs and check on those scoundrels.

I'm sure the footage from the video recorder will be quite exciting.

"Three guys who wanted to do something bad..."

"Could it be Ota, Takahashi, and Kakutani?"

Ayako looked on incredulously.

The four then walked to the basement entrance.

"Waaah...waaah...waaah..."

"Ah...ah..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as I opened the basement door, I heard crying, wailing, and maniacal laughter.

Before they even went inside, the sounds alone made Ran Mouri and Sonoko's hair stand on end.

"You two can stay outside. Miss Ayako, come downstairs with me."

Izuki Karuta was the first to enter the basement.

Ayako hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed him down.

As for Ran and Sonoko, they didn't even dare to linger at the door and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

In the basement,

To describe the situation right before our eyes, there is one word that is very fitting:

—A chaotic dance of demons.

Chikako Ikeda, who was tied to a pillar, was laughing wildly and looked somewhat mentally impaired.

The man with the turban was the one whose hands and feet were bound and who was constantly wailing.

The photographer and the fat man were the ones crying.

The headscarf-wearing man, the photographer, and the fat man all have one thing in common.

That is, there was a pool of blood on his pants, and an important part was missing.

As for the whereabouts of the parts,

The video clearly recorded the three men's act of mutually estrangement.

The recording was made at midnight last night.

It was as if something had been activated.

Bound hand and foot, the three who were sleeping suddenly woke up and began tearing at each other like madmen.

The man in the headscarf bit the photographer, the photographer bit the fat man, and the fat man bit the man in the headscarf, chewing and swallowing the food.

After the three of them did this almost frantically, they seemed to come to their senses, and then howled, screamed, and were on the verge of collapse.

Chikako Ikeda, who was standing nearby, was also terrified when she saw this, and then she went on a rampage as well.

"...Why do you say that the three of them are planning to do something bad?"

"And Chikako, why was she tied up too?"

"Mr. Yizhu, could you please explain?"

It took Ayako a while to calm herself down and accept the situation.

Izuki Shizuta didn't say much, but simply moved the recording time forward.

The camera placed in the living room accurately recorded the scene of the three people grabbing Conan by the neck and questioning him.

The three then left the living room, and the recording stopped.

When the infrared sensor was activated again, it recorded footage of the three people carrying weapons as they went up to the second floor.

Then came the scene where the three of them were easily dealt with and brutally beaten by Izuki Karuta.

Then, the young man from Yizhu picked up the camera and put it in the basement.

"When I found Ms. Ikeda, I noticed that she was already a bit mentally unstable."

“I can’t keep an eye on her by myself, and I’m also afraid there might be other dangers outside the villa.”

"To prevent her from suddenly attacking others or harming herself, we had no choice but to tie her up here as well."

Izuki Karuta gave a brief explanation.

As for what Chikako Ikeda experienced during her disappearance, Ayako only needed to conduct a simple examination and make a little deduction to understand the evil deeds committed by the other three.

"Izuki Shigeta, I'll make you bankrupt! And wish you a terrible death!"

"Izuki Shigeta, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"Izuki Karuta, I'm going to kill you!"

The man in the headscarf, the photographer, and the fat man immediately started screaming wildly.

They also said they would jointly sue Izuki Karuta for intentional injury, which caused them to lose their children and become disabled.

They seem completely unaware that their actions resulted in mutual destruction.

"These three people are truly despicable..."

At that moment, Conan's voice came from a corner of the basement.

Conan was awakened by the three people's howling, and then discovered that the four people in the basement were all somewhat mentally unstable.

Without the key, the basement door couldn't be opened, and Conan's loud cries for help went unheard.

Fortunately, all four were tightly bound, and Conan was only tormented by the sonic attack for one night.

"Yi Zhu, why didn't you take me with you?"

"Furthermore, your use of vigilante justice is far too extreme!"

Conan stared at his dark circles with a look of resentment in his eyes.

"I didn't abuse my power, Conan, watch the video before you speak."

"I saw those three bullying you, so I thought I'd give you a chance to take revenge."

"Anyway, you're just a kid, you won't get into trouble with the law."

Izuki Karuda originally wanted to tell you about Conan's experience while he was unconscious,

But there were no videos recorded back then, and no one would believe me if I told them, so I gave up on the idea.

"..."

Conan watched the video and was deeply shocked by the footage recorded inside.

They also realized that Izuki Karuta's fighting prowess was no joke.

As for whether Izuki Karuta's actions were too violent...

Conan and Ayako didn't say much, after all, they had just been saved.

The three left the basement and came to the living room, where Ran and Sonoko had already prepared breakfast.

Conan was looking forward to breakfast, but for some reason, he had no appetite.

"Could it be... that you all slept in the same room last night?"

Conan suddenly remembered something, his gaze swept over Ayako, Sonoko, and Ran Mouri, and finally landed on Itake Karuta.

"Of course, I have an obligation to protect my clients."

Izuki Karuta readily admitted it.

At the same time, the same thought appeared in the minds of the other four people.

But no one said it.

The weather today is autumnal.

The autumn sky was clear and cloudless, and even the signal seemed to be working better.

Using a half-bar signal, Izuki Karuta dialed the emergency number at the Beika Police Station.

While waiting for the police to arrive

Ran Mouri, Sonoko, and Ayako are talking in the same room.

Ayako briefly explained the situation in the basement.

Sonoko and Ran Mouri slowly processed the news.

Afterwards, Ayako went to look after Chikako Ikeda, who had been moved to the third floor.

Only Ran and Sonoko remained in the room.
