Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Yukiko Kudo thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, but you're in charge of pouring me the drinks."

"No problem, I've got it covered." Conan patted his chest confidently.

Wen Shui interjected, "Pour me some wine too, okay?"

Conan looked annoyed, but could only say sarcastically due to his status, "Brother Wen Shui, you're probably not old enough to drink alcohol yet, right? Don't lead the kids astray, or I'll tell Ran-neechan."

Just then, a few more little devils popped out from behind the large vase placed in the corridor.

"Big sister Yukiko, could you take us with you?"

The three members of the Junior Detective League looked at Yukiko Kudo with expectant eyes.

"No, it's too late, you should go home and sleep," Yukiko Kudo refused outright.

"Huh? Then why can Conan go?" Genta Kojima couldn't help but ask.

Yukiko Kudo: "That's because I'm very familiar with this boy's guardian, and I'm going to meet a very important guest later. It would be too noisy if there were too many people."

The real reason is that I don't want to set a bad example for the children.

Even if Yukiko Kudo is a bit of a troublemaker, she wouldn't take these kids to a place like an izakaya.

As for Conan, he is his own son, and only his body has shrunk; his soul is already that of an adult.

The Junior Detectives huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, looking utterly disappointed.

Wen Shui also heard Ayumi mutter to herself, "Conan really does like older women, and he's really good at pleasing older women."

Wenshui didn't really want to go, but after hearing Kudo Yukiko say that she was leaving tomorrow, she thought about it and decided to give her face.

Moreover, with Conan present, we might even encounter a case from the original manga later.

Wen Shui remembered that there were several cases in the original Conan series that took place in izakayas.

.

After the Metropolitan Police Department completed its investigation and evidence collection, the perpetrator, Minoru Furuhashi, was put into a police car.

Sato Miwako asked Officer Takagi to take Genta and the other children home, while she drove to the back entrance of the movie theater and took Onami and the others towards Shinbashi Station.

Warm water sat in the passenger seat, while Mrs. Kudo sat in the back with her shrunken son. Sato Miwako opened the car window a crack, letting the cool evening breeze flow into the car.

Yukiko Kudo: "Thank you so much, Officer Sato."

Miwako Sato smiled and said, "It's alright, I was going to Ginza anyway."

Under the light of the streetlamp, Wen Shui looked at Sato Miwako's delicate and fair profile. When she mentioned Ginza earlier, a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Could it be that the Mr. Kanakawa mentioned by Yumi Miyamoto is Miwako Sato's date?

Wen Shui suddenly became curious.

In the original story, although Sato Miwako's mother often arranged for her to go on blind dates, Sato Miwako was not interested in such things; she only wanted to catch bad guys.

In the end, she ended up with her dull junior colleague from the Metropolitan Police Department, Wataru Takagi.

However, based on Wen Shui's observations over this period, Takagi Wataru in this world is still in a state of unrequited love, and Sato Miwako has not realized his feelings.

Wen Shui was a little curious; what kind of person could win the favor of the Metropolitan Police Department's beauty?

However, there is still an important thing to do, which is to check the reward for this research trip.

Wen Shui pretended to close his eyes and rest, then entered the system interface.

After Sato Miwako noticed that Wen Shui had closed her eyes, she slowed down the car and turned the music volume on the radio down to the lowest setting.

Wen Shui didn't notice Officer Sato's attentiveness; his attention was entirely focused on the lottery interface.

Because the characters were randomly selected from those involved in the case, Genta Kojima's face kept appearing in front of Nuwa's eyes.

No way! I already know how delicious eel rice is!

Stop giving me entries for "foodie"!

Warm water silently prayed in her heart.

Finally, the illusory lottery interface in front of me froze on a photo of the murderer, Minoru Furuhashi.

[Having watched countless films]:

Note: After watching many movies, my aesthetic sense has been significantly improved without me even realizing it.

It seems to be a passive skill related to movies.

It's a bit of a shame that it's not a combat skill, but compared to Genta Kojima's "Eel Rice Emperor" and Ayumi Yoshida's "Tea Ceremony Master," it's still quite useful.

Wen Shui carefully examined himself and discovered that he did not directly acquire the memories of the movies that Furuhashi Minoru had watched.

Instead, he gained new insights and understanding of some of the movies he had seen in his previous life. He felt things like cinematic language and scene composition much more deeply than before.

It felt like I suddenly had over ten years of experience in the film industry.

After the lottery interface disappeared, Wen Shui entered the [Maori Elimination Method] interface again and found that after leveling up to level 15, she finally got a new skill.

[The Art of Interrogation]:

Note: It is easier to obtain useful information during field visits and surveys, and appropriate communication methods can be selected based on people from different social strata.

It seems like a very ordinary skill, but it's actually quite useful for lukewarm water.

Because collecting evidence and clues is a crucial part of a detective's investigation, and the ability to interact with people from different social classes and glean information from their words and actions is a skill that can only be developed through extensive contact with diverse individuals.

Wen Shui wasn't the type of person with a lot of social experience in her previous life.

Therefore, this skill perfectly compensates for his weakness.

After checking the results of this deduction, Wen Shui opened her eyes and found that they had arrived in a more bustling urban area.

Around 8 p.m. in Tokyo's commercial district, nightlife is just beginning. Neon lights flash on shop signs on both sides of the street, and young women dressed in sexy clothes stroll along the street, attracting the attention of passersby.

Wen Shui turned around and suddenly asked Kudo Yukiko, "Ms. Kudo, you said last time that you planned to set up a company here and invest in making movies, right?"

"Uh...yes, what's wrong?" Yukiko was surprised that Wenshui suddenly brought this up and looked puzzled.

Wen Shui: "I happen to have a few good movie ideas. If it's suitable, I feel we can try collaborating."

"You can write movie scripts?" Yukiko Kudo couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Officer Sato, who was driving, glanced at Wen Shui out of the corner of his eye, somewhat surprised.

"These are just a few immature ideas; whether they're feasible or not is up to you to decide," Wen Shui said modestly.

Yukiko Kudo looked a little unnatural: "Hmm... I could consider it, but it's still in the planning stage. I'll contact you again in a while."

Actually, she was just making things up casually; the whole thing about making a movie was completely fabricated.

However, after successfully playing a corpse and scaring Conan in the movie theater lobby, Yukiko Kudo seems to have felt that desire to perform again.

Go back and discuss it with Yusaku. It wouldn't hurt to invest a little and start a small film production company. Besides, if we go back here, we can also take care of Shinichi, whose body has shrunk.

After these few days of contact, Yukiko Kudo became even more worried about Conan.

If this kid continues to act so recklessly, it will definitely attract the attention of those black-clad organizations.

That's why she was in such a hurry to go back and prepare for her plan to kidnap Conan by pretending to be a villain with Yusaku Kudo.

.

The izakaya that Yukiko Kudo booked was located near Shinbashi Station, and getting there would take you through Ginza in the city center.

Wenshui originally thought that Sato Miwako would drop them off first and then return to Ginza to meet Mr. Kanakawa, but unexpectedly, she parked the car on the street near Ginza first.

"Wait a moment, I need to get off the bus to buy something."

After finishing her sentence, Sato Miwako opened the car door, got out, and jogged into a sushi restaurant called "Kinchuan" on the side of the road.

"Hmm, this shop's sign looks familiar." Yukiko Kudo pressed her face against the car window, looking at the sushi restaurant's sign.

Wen Shui asked curiously, "Do you know this store?"

Yukiko Kudo thought for a moment and shook her head: "I can't remember, but I should have been here before."

At this moment, Conan pushed up his glasses: "The owner of this sushi restaurant, Mr. Jinchuan Zhengji, is very famous in the sushi world. Many tourists from other places who come here will make a special trip to queue up to taste the sushi he makes by hand."

However, I heard that after he fell ill last year, he handed the shop over to his son to manage.

Mr. Kanakawa Seiji only comes to the shop a few days a month and only accepts customers by appointment. I guess Officer Sato must have made an appointment specifically for Mr. Kanakawa. That's why he drove so fast after Wenshui woke up in time.

However, this restaurant isn't cheap, so Officer Sato probably wasn't using it for a work lunch.

In addition, I overheard Officer Sato making a phone call with her mother in the movie theater corridor just now…”

Conan suddenly stopped talking.

Because both Wen Shui and Kudo Yukiko were looking at him strangely. Kudo Yukiko even pinched Conan's thigh hard.

Oh no, I accidentally went too far.

Conan scratched his head awkwardly: "Um... I actually learned all of this from TV. There have been a lot of food shows on TV lately, haven't there? Hehehe..."

Left with no other choice, Conan had to resort to pretending to be a child to cover for himself.

Actually, Conan only intended to give a brief overview of the store's operations.

But because Wen Shui had stolen the spotlight from him at the movie theater, he was holding back a lot of anger, so when Wen Shui didn't know something, he blurted it all out.

Wen Shui pretended not to notice Conan's flaw. He didn't want the two people behind him to know that he already knew Conan's identity, as he felt he would be implicated.

However, the reason Sato Miwako was being so mysterious was that she came to pick up some sushi; he had thought she was there for a blind date.

But then again, this country seems to frequently produce cultural icons like "Sushi God" and "Rice Master," so it's not surprising that sushi requires reservations to be served.

In the back seat of the car, Yukiko Kudo and Conan also started arguing quietly.

Conan: "This restaurant had sushi for dinner when I turned 13. You actually forgot?"

"You're talking nonsense, right? Who would remember something like that? It's been so many years." Yukiko Kudo's face showed disbelief.

Conan said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, what an irresponsible mother."

Yukiko Kudo put on a stern face: "Then tell me, what's my favorite lipstick shade?"

"Uh..." Conan's face stiffened for a moment, then he quickly switched to an innocent and cute smile. "By the way, when is Dad's movie coming out?"

"Damn it, you little brat..."

As a result, Conan naturally received a severe beating from his kind mother.
