Ran met Shuichi twice before current time and Shinichi once (same number for Shinichi and Shukichi, though so far in the flashback it's not clear if they met back then). You make it sound like they run into him in every flashback.
Spoiler:
You misunderstood. I was speaking in general regarding all of their coincidental meetings throughout the series, not just the flashbacks.

I am not that satisified about how the manga is going but I don't consider this , as their meetings throughout the series to some extent can't be considered coincidental many times were because akai was following araide and watching over the mouri's agency , adding that most of the characters present most of the time at beika when they are in tokyo so they have more chance to meet . Of coarse the rate of coincidences is not low not just with the akais' but with all the characters and with all the places , if we looked from that point of view the whole series will become pointless and nonsense ,it is based upon that from the start a detective who coincident crimes wherever he goes
Having cases coincidentally happen and characters coincidentally meet up wherever the detective goes is one thing, and one that is necessary for the whole case-solving premise to work. Having characters repeatedly coincidentally meet up to drive the overall story forward is another, and that's when the bad writing comes in.

If such an entity really existed, wouldn't all honest, hard-working people be happy?"

Okay, then it would be three for both. Still not that much all things considered, but it depends on one's viewpoint I suppose.
Just check the raw of 973. Akai hair style=What the heck. Gosho kinda underrate Akai so that he is not more outstanding than Conan/Shinichi, just like he underrates Ai/Shiho

Seems to me he has his hair slicked back because he's at the beach?

I hope so. Still it looks weird though. At least give him the hairstyle of Subaru, Gosho. The case is less interesting than I thought btw.

is 973 already out?

I'm happy this file finaly come up. I curious what happened 10 years ago? Maybe this case is the first time SHinichi's family meet Akai's family. But we don't know how far this case bring the relationship between them.
Btw, I also curious is Shuichi remember Shinichi or pretending didn't know him

Yes. 973 is out. Still not anything big. Akai did all the deduction in this file.

Seems pretty clear to me. He's clearly growing his hair but he has it slid back. The case took 1 chapter to happen and solve so I can't imagine it being anything mind boggling.
Well, the important part about this flashback is not really the flashback itself, but the fact that Shinichi remembered, so that the new knowledge gained from his memories can further the plot in current time (...eventually).

One of the usual hype texts from the editors it seems.

It said Kuroda was in a decade long coma, right? So that means he can't be daddy Akai, cause Shuichi was apparently on his quest of vengeance even before this flashback (which was 10 years ago) so that means his dad was gone since a few years earlier. (Of course it's still possible not-truly-dead daddy Akai switched places with real Kuroda mid coma... I think...)
