After the second or third time she had to actively use karate on a case, Ran started shifting her training focus to incorporate not only things that would be effective and legal in regulation matches but also things that would work on a real assailant.  

 

Especially if you take the movies as canon, Ran is probably an Internet Cryptid™ in the sense that there’s stories about a brown-haired teenage girl doing impossible things that show up on various message boards once in a while. Maybe someone even got a really blurry photo of her kicking out that car window.  Ran’s definitely the type who doesn’t spend a lot of time on the internet, so she has no idea.  Sonoko knows and thinks it’s the best thing ever.

 

Ran puts up with Shinichi’s increasingly unacceptable behavior as a romantic interest/boyfriend in part because of her own family situation. She knows she doesn’t want to end up like her own parents, who refuse to tolerate one another’s bad points whatsoever, so she’s swung too far the other direction and started putting up with things from Shinichi that she knows aren’t fair to her.

 

At this point, it’s not that Ran doesn’t suspect, or for that matter, that she isn’t pretty darn sure.  She’s just tired of Conan diverting her.
