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

But he had no evidence, and Ran Mouri hadn't mentioned it either, so even though Conan was seething with hatred, he could only keep it to himself.

"By the way, Conan, you haven't eaten anything since last night. Aren't you hungry?"

"Do you want me to buy you something to eat now?"

On the way back to the Mouri Detective Agency, Ran Mouri suddenly remembered that Conan hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch that day.

"No, thank you. I don't have much of an appetite."

Conan shook his head; he really had no appetite and didn't feel hungry.

I feel a bit nauseous, have bad breath, and a sore throat, but I can't vomit anything.

Conan could only conclude that the smell of blood and the howling of ghosts last night had disturbed his mind and affected his appetite.

My throat hurts; I probably caught a chill last night, and my tonsils are a bit inflamed.

"Conan, you..."

Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment, "You...you're not injured anywhere else, are you?"

Knowing that Conan was captured by those three last night, and recalling what happened to Chikako Ikeda,

Ran Mouri couldn't help but worry about Conan's situation.

Conan looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand what it meant.

Seeing this, Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that Conan was alright, otherwise he wouldn't have such an expression.

Because of her height, Ran Mouri didn't notice that Conan had bad breath.

Conan then asked several more times why he asked that question.

Ran Mouri simply said she was worried about Conan having a minor injury, thus brushing it off.

I thought Conan would be more well-behaved after getting a beating at the villa.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Conan returned to the agency, he started sowing discord again.

"Uncle Mori, last night at the villa, that Izuki Shigeta took advantage of Ran-neechan in a huge way!"

"Really?!" Kogoro Mouri's face turned serious.

“Dad, there’s a reason for this…”

Kogoro Mouri raised his hand to interrupt, "Just tell me whether this happened or not."

Now Ran Mouri didn't know whether to nod or shake her head.

"Izuki Karuta is still pretending not to know, and hasn't even apologized!" Conan continued to add fuel to the fire.

Kogoro Mouri's expression changed drastically!

They became ecstatic! They danced with joy!

"In that case, we must make Itsuki Karuta take charge."

"Xiao Lan, you'd better put in more effort and snag this rich husband!"

"I've heard he can earn millions of yen a day, I can't miss out on such a good opportunity!"

With that, Kogoro Mori left excitedly, saying he was going to chat with his future son-in-law.

Xiaolan couldn't be stopped no matter what.

Seeing things take a strange turn, Ran felt a sense of helplessness and turned to look at Conan.

Conan's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, it's backfiring! And Xiaolan's dangerous look...

"Conan! I told you not to talk so much!"

Ran Mouri grabbed Conan and started slapping him on the thickest parts of his skin.

Conan screamed uncontrollably in pain.

"If you misbehave like this again, I'll definitely not let you off the hook next time!"

Ran Mouri was relatively restrained; she stopped after hitting him a dozen or so times.

Conan looked aggrieved; he had anticipated that Ran Mouri might be angry.

Unfortunately, this operation was too reckless, failing to take into account Kogoro Mouri's money-loving nature.

A short while later, Kogoro Mouri returned in a huff.

"You brat, how dare you lie to me!"

When Kogoro Mouri returned, he grabbed Conan and gave him another beating on the spot where Conan had been hit.

After meeting Izuki Karuta, Kogoro realized that there was a reason for the incident, and that it was a simple, well-intentioned encounter, not as bad as Conan had described.

Kogoro Mouri's hopes were dashed, his dream of a wealthy father-in-law shattered, and he was furious.

They didn't hold back at all, beating Conan until tears streamed down his face, and he cried out in agony.

Ran Mouri watched coldly from the sidelines, and even took out her camera to take pictures.

She realized that Conan was someone who responded to force but not to gentle persuasion, and he needed to be taught a lesson, otherwise who knew what kind of trouble he would cause next time.

……

At 3 p.m., in an inconspicuous two-story house in Mika City.

Izuki Karuta arrived at the location indicated in the text message.

Fewer people attended this meeting than last time, but it was clearly more important.

For example, around the street outside the residential buildings, there were about twenty members of the organization disguised as passersby.

When Izuki Karuta reached the entrance on the first floor, she had to be checked and searched by Vermouth to confirm her identity before she could go upstairs.

The only key attendees at this meeting were Izuki Karuda and Vermouth.

As for Bourbon, Vodka, and Gin, who was using a cane, they could only stand at the door.

The only exception was the twelve-year-old girl sitting in the chair in the room.

"She...she could be..."

Even Izumi Imada was somewhat surprised to see the little girl.

She has light blue eyes, brown hair, and a cool, delicate face.

"That's right, it's Sherry."

"You didn't know about this?"

Vermouth was somewhat surprised.

This actually happened two days ago.

The lab staff noticed that Shirley was nowhere to be found when it was time for her to arrive at work.

They sent someone to check the room and found the little girl.

The little girl said she was Sherry.

Although it's hard to believe, the little girl's words, actions, and knowledge are enough to prove that she wasn't lying.

The final diagnosis was that this was a side effect of taking drug A.

"How would I know such a thing?"

"I don't even know where Shirley is."

Izuki Shizuta looked completely bewildered.

Shirley said you bear the main responsibility for this.

"You're the one who encouraged her to take drug A, which is why she's like this now."

Vermouth glanced at the shrunken Sherry.

What is A?

"Shirley said her job was to research drugs, so I was just teasing her, but who knew she would actually take it."

"How am I supposed to take responsibility for this? Move in with me?"

Izuki Qingtian sat down next to little Shirley and reached out to pinch her cheek.

At 12 years old, her appearance falls between that of a loli and a young girl, possessing both cuteness and beauty.

Sherry quickly tilted her head to the right, not letting Izuki Qingtian touch her any further, her eyes full of disdain.

Izuki Karuta, on the other hand, was very interested in Sherry.

Every now and then, I would touch her face, touch her hair, and pinch her little hands.

These actions quickly angered Shirley, who jumped off the chair, opened the door, and had Vodka escort her away.

"Sherry, are you really not considering moving in with me?"

Izuki Karita called out to Sherry's retreating figure.

"Lolicon! Get lost!!!"
