Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

I feel... even though they are mother and daughter, their paths in life are quite different.

Wait a minute, he's been sitting here for ages, and Xiaolan doesn't seem to have come in yet.

Wen Shui looked back but didn't see the suspicious figure wearing the Teitan High School uniform and mask in the store or near the cafe entrance.

Could it be that they're too scared to come in because they saw Eri Kisaki here?

"Warm Water, you didn't tell Ran about me asking you out, did you?" Eri asked.

Wen Shui quickly waved her hand: "Of course not, but Attorney Fei..."

“Just call me Auntie,” Eri interrupted Wen Shui. “Don’t be so formal. I often hear Ran mention you, and I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you for taking care of Ran.”

"Aunt Fei, you're too kind. Actually, I've received a lot of care from Xiao Lan." Wen Shui tried her best to appear harmless.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Eri Kisaki got straight to the point.

She first mentioned that Ran's karate club advisor had called her a few days ago, saying that since Ran joined the literature club, her attendance rate had decreased and her training hadn't been as rigorous as before.

Although the school also encourages students to explore more interests and hobbies.

However, this could affect the results of this year's karate tournament.

Furthermore, because Ran was the captain of the karate club, her absence had a significant impact on the members who were preparing to participate in karate. Everyone was not very enthusiastic about training, and several girls even chose to quit the karate club.

In addition, Eri Kisaki was also worried about the Slit-Mouthed Woman incident, and she did not want Ran to get involved in unnecessary danger.

But Wen Shui felt that Eri Kisaki should be more concerned about Ran's attitude.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have used this method to get him to come out.

"That child seems to have really changed lately, he seems to have grown up a lot all of a sudden." Eri Kisaki took a sip of her coffee. "Warm Water-kun must have played a big part in this, right?"

"I'm not that amazing. This is all thanks to Xiaolan's hard work." Wen Shui smiled.

Eri Kisaki changed the subject: "However, Ran is too kind-hearted and easily trusts others. I'm really worried that she might be hurt or deceived by bad people."

Wen Shui hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although it might be irresponsible of me to say this, I still think that Xiao Lan should have the right to choose her own path in life, just like the decision you made ten years ago."

Eri's beautiful eyes narrowed into slits as she stared intently into Wen Shui's eyes.

Wen Shui met the other person's gaze without any hesitation.

About a minute passed.

“I understand. I will find a suitable opportunity to talk to Ran.” Eri put down her coffee cup and rubbed her temples. “If that child really insists on her choice, then I can only ask Wen Shui-kun to take extra care of her.”

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will absolutely not let Xiaolan get hurt in any way," Wen Shui assured, patting her chest.

However, upon hearing him say that, Eri Kisaki frowned even more deeply.

Although Onami Kazuki seemed much more reliable and dependable than expected, Eri Kisaki was somewhat worried about his identity as a detective.

She had already learned her lesson from the detective and didn't want Xiaolan to repeat the same mistake.

At that moment, the coffee shop door was pushed open.

Two customers entered the store one after the other. One was a woman wearing sunglasses, and the other was a girl wearing a Teitan High School uniform.

Wen Shui initially thought it was Xiao Lan who had followed her in, but when she saw the girl's face, she was stunned.

It wasn't Xiaolan who came in.

Instead, it was a completely unfamiliar face that Wen Shui had never seen before. The girl wasn't particularly pretty; she was the type who wouldn't stand out in a crowd.

But her figure, encased in a school uniform and suit, revealed a talent far beyond that of ordinary people.

The girl has a height that is above average for a woman, with long and slender limbs and a shapely figure, which is simply the ideal figure for all women.

Moreover, her skin is very fair, and her delicate, flawless skin has an almost transparent and captivating texture under the sunlight.

Brown and black leather shoes are a common style for high school girls. Black over-the-knee socks are wrapped around her snow-white and slender thighs, slightly sinking into her skin, which looks quite sexy.

Of course, what's most eye-catching is her pectoral muscles, which are even more exaggerated than Ai Haibara's.

There must be an F, right?

It doesn't seem like a figure that a female high school student could have. Although her appearance is average, this only highlights the advantages of her figure.

The girl attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the coffee shop. The male waiter who was serving coffee to customers even spilled some.

"Is he your classmate?" Eri asked.

Wen Shui shook her head: "Maybe, but this is the first time I've seen her. I didn't expect there to be a girl with such a good figure in our school."

Eri Kisaki said helplessly, "You don't even try to hide your thoughts, do you?"

Wen Shui smiled and said, "If I pretend to be a gentleman, it will only make me look worse to you, Aunt Yingli, right?"

Eri Kisaki smiled but didn't say anything, though her level of vigilance towards this kid increased slightly.

At this moment, the woman wearing sunglasses who had entered the store first suddenly started yelling at the waiter, attracting the attention of many customers.

When Wenshui turned around to watch the commotion, he noticed that the girl from Teitan University with a great figure had chosen the table next to him and Eri Kisaki and ordered a papaya milkshake.

Wen Shui couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

They're already taking so much supplements, don't they get tired of walking?

Afterwards, Eri chatted with Wenshui about Ran's recent situation. Then, she suddenly received a call from a client. She apologized to Wenshui and started talking to the client.

Wen Shui also took this opportunity to observe the customers in the coffee shop.

Knowing in advance that a case might be involved, Wen Shui prepared in advance by carefully reviewing the murder case involving Eri Kisaki's appearance.

If I'm not mistaken, the woman in sunglasses who yelled at the waiter earlier should be the victim in this incident.

The motive for this murder that occurred in the coffee shop restroom was actually quite simple: the woman in sunglasses named Himeno Yayoi forced the murderer, Tonoyama Juzo, to divorce his wife.

Fearing that his wife would find out about his affair, Tonyama Jūsan decided to kill her.

Just then, a handsome long-haired man with a frivolous appearance walked in: "I arranged to meet a girl here, but she doesn't seem to have arrived yet."

Waiter: "Please have a seat here."

The handsome man with long hair was led to a seat near the door.

Wen Shui remembered that in the original work, this man seemed to be dating Sonoko Suzuki, and later he was slapped by Sonoko Suzuki.

However, in this timeline, Sonoko Suzuki went to Hawaii with her parents for the weekend, so she probably won't appear here, right?

Wen Shui was a little curious, so she took out her phone and sent a message to Suzuki Sonoko.

I want to see Hawaiian beaches.

Soon after, Sonoko Suzuki replied with a photo, a panoramic view of a Hawaiian beach.

Wen Shui replied, "I thought you would include yourself in the photo too."

Sonoko Suzuki: "Just say you want to see my swimsuit."

Wen Shui: "Sorry, I have absolutely no interest in that kind of thing."

Sonoko Suzuki: "You bastard!"

A few seconds later, Sonoko Suzuki sent another photo, showing her standing on the beach in a bikini, with the words "Warm Water Idiot" written in the sand beneath her feet. Ayako Suzuki, half-exposed beside her, looked utterly helpless.

Wen Shui: "Nice swimsuit, but this kind of confession won't get you a handsome guy."

This time, after waiting for a long time, Sonoko Suzuki still hadn't replied.

Wen Shui thought she was angry, so in order to maintain a good working relationship between the two, Wen Shui had no choice but to send several more messages of praise.

I was just kidding, you actually have a really good figure...

The tan lines on my shoulders look great too...

By the way, those words weren't written with feet, were they...?

Finally, after being bombarded with warm water, Sonoko Suzuki replied with another message.

This time it's still just a photo.

However, it seems that Ms. Suzuki in the photo is in a shady spot, and the surrounding light is a bit dim. The photo was taken from a low angle, looking up from the ground, and the photographer is very close to the model.

When Wenshui focused his gaze on the center of the photo and saw the strange pose Suzuki Sonoko was making,

His eyes widened instantly, and he quickly slammed his phone screen face down on the table.

Chapter 60 Mrs. Kudo, why are you wearing Ran's clothes?

Wen Shui looked up at Eri Kisaki and noticed that Eri Kisaki, sitting opposite him, was looking out the window with a furrowed brow, speaking legal terms he couldn't understand on the other end of the phone.

She didn't seem to notice what was happening here.

Warm water breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Receiving those photos from a female classmate in this situation reminded Wen Shui of the feeling she had as a child, secretly watching adult films in her room and then being discovered by her mother who barged in.

Even though the person sitting opposite me was my classmate's mother.

However, what bothered him a little was that when he showed a surprised expression, the busty girl in the Teitan school uniform sitting behind him seemed to peek over in his direction.

Although the movements were very subtle, they were still caught by Wen Shui's keen detective intuition.

Did she follow me here?

Once doubts begin to arise, fragments of previous memories are gradually pieced together and reassembled in the mind.

Because of his preconceived notions, Wen Shui subconsciously assumed that the person who had been following him from his doorstep was Xiao Lan, and didn't observe carefully.

Looking back now, the person who was following him was probably the busty woman behind him.

But why didn't she come in immediately, but instead entered the coffee shop a while later? Besides, he had never seen this girl in Teitan before.

Wen Shui felt a little uneasy. Could it be that he had encountered a yandere girl who wanted to confess her feelings to him?

Just as she was thinking, Eri Kisaki suddenly hung up the phone. As she stood up, she said to Wen Shui, "Excuse me, I have to go out to get some commission documents. Please excuse me for a moment."

Wen Shui: "It's okay, I happen to be free today."

Eri Kisaki took a file folder out of her bag, then got up and left the cafe.

Wen Shui changed her position so that the person behind her couldn't see her, picked up her phone from the table, and entered the chat window with Suzuki Sonoko.

The latest news is still that photo; it seems that after Suzuki unleashed her ultimate move, she no longer has any mana to chat with him.
