I count 3 previous discrete suspicion stories, unless I count the anime as a divergent continuity.
Given that look Ran gives Conan in that page, you'd have to be Blind to argue Ran wasn't really suspicious between
Cornered Great Detective and
Desperate Revival like Conan thinks in
Desperate Revival. Maybe we need to label them something stronger than "suspicion" stories. I wouldn't quibble with counting four previous "Ran sees through Conan" stories, since Ran probably wasn't sure enough to offer her blood the whole way through (unless Ran became so devoted to playing along, she'd leave someone trapped in an attic so as not to betray her knowledge).
