Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

.

Wen Shui was unaware that Xiao Lan was coming.

He has been busy dealing with the probing of Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki, mainly Eri Kisaki.

Mrs. Kudo initially intended to get Wenshui drunk to test his drinking ability, but unexpectedly, she got drunk first.

Of course, this was also partly because Eri Kisaki stopped him from drinking too much warm water.

Not long after, Yukiko Kudo began to complain.

To illustrate how lonely it can be to live abroad, Kudo Yusaku often left her alone at home due to social engagements. When she went out to banquets, she was often viewed with prejudice, with people thinking she was just a pretty face.

"What a joke! I gave up my career to marry him!"

Yukiko Kudo slammed her beer mug down on the table, startling Conan, who was reading a mystery novel on his phone.

The proprietress of the izakaya, Ms. Chizuru, did not leave her seat. During this time, the waitress with bangs came in several times. She even asked Yukiko Kudo for an autograph and said that she liked the movies she acted in.

This made Yukiko Kudo feel much better.

As the time approached 10 p.m., this unexpected "class reunion" was drawing to a close.

Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri continued to debate trivial matters from their past lives, while Chizuru and Yukiko Kudo helped each other to the bathroom, and Conan hid in a corner of the room reading a mystery novel.

The warm water is currently battling with the grilled crab on the plate.

Just then, another waiter's voice came from the corridor: "Mr. Nakai, you forgot your bag."

Mr. Nakai?

His keen detective instincts brought Wen Shui's alcohol-numbed brain back to a slightly clearer state. He hadn't forgotten the reporter who secretly took photos of Yukiko Kudo during the coffee shop murder case.

Could we have run into each other here?

Wen Shui then excused herself to go to the restroom, got up and left the private room, walking towards the door.

However, before he even reached the door, he heard the sound of Yukiko Kudo arguing with someone coming from the private room next to him.

Wen Shui stopped in her tracks, pulled open the wooden sliding door of the private room, and saw Kudo Yukiko arguing with the people inside.

She held up her high heels as a weapon, seemingly about to teach the equally drunk man a lesson.

Fortunately, someone intervened to break up the fight, preventing it from escalating into a full-blown conflict.

Wen Shui quickly went over and pulled Kudo Yukiko back: "Calm down, why did you get into an argument with someone?"

Yukiko Kudo turned and glanced at him, then tilted her head: "Who are you?"

Wen Shui was speechless for a moment. Sure enough, it was a mistake not to let her dilute the wine with water. This guy had drunk so much that he couldn't recognize people anymore.

Wen Shui had no choice but to apologize on her behalf, and then pulled her from the room to the hallway.

"Okay, you can let go of me now," Yukiko Kudo whispered.

"You're not drunk?" Wen Shui's eyes widened.

Yukiko Kudo said somewhat embarrassedly, "I woke up when the person next to me came over to mediate the fight, but the atmosphere had already reached that point, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue acting."

Wen Shui couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. This guy seemed even less reliable than Conan.

Wen Shui sighed: "Then let's go back first. Can you walk by yourself?"

Yukiko Kudo stopped him: "Wait a minute, my shoes are still inside. Could you please get them back for me?"

Wen Shui looked down and saw that although Kudo Yukiko was holding a high heel, both of her feet were bare.

Her fair, bare feet shone on the wooden floor of the izakaya, their color captivating even in the dim lighting.

Wen Shui looked reluctant.

He had already endured a lot of disdain for apologizing to people for her sake, and now he was being asked to go back and find the shoes. He wondered what kind of looks people would give him.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Kudo became much bolder after drinking.

She actually pressed herself against him, her soft breasts enveloping Wen Shui's arm, and said in a sweet voice, "Please help me, it would be too embarrassing for me to go back and pick up my shoes now."

Her breath reeked of alcohol, and the firm, soft marshmallow made her brain, numbed by the warm water and alcohol, somewhat sluggish: "This..."

And that's when the two were standing in the corridor, pulling at each other.

Suddenly, a girl with cute horns appeared at the entrance of the corridor.

Chapter 72 Accidentally left a mark on Yukiko Kudo

Seeing Wenshui entangled with Shinichi's mother, Ran didn't rush over this time. Instead, she hid behind a bamboo craft at the end of the corridor and observed secretly.

The lighting in the izakaya's corridor is intentionally designed to create a warm, retro yellow hue.

If you don't look closely, it's really hard to spot Xiaolan.

Wen Shui indeed failed to notice that Xiao Lan was hiding behind him. Of course, besides the fact that he had drunk some alcohol and his brain was numbed by it, Mrs. Kudo also took up a lot of his energy.

Yukiko Kudo's bold actions even made Wen Shui suspect that the woman was deliberately testing him.

But then again, isn't this price a bit too high?

When Yukiko Kudo held his arm and shook him, Onami could even feel her heart beating rapidly due to excessive alcohol consumption through the thin fabric of her knitted sweater.

Those plump lips, painted with cherry-red lipstick, exhaled a sweet, cloying fragrance mixed with the smell of alcohol, wafting towards you.

Under the influence of multiple senses, Wen Shui felt that she was able to maintain her rationality, thanks to the detective entries in her mind.

However, even though Wen Shui's brain could remain clear, the body he was in after transmigrating was, after all, at the prime of his life, and his body easily stretched out as if doing calisthenics.

The only benefit of getting drunk is that you lose some of your ability to feel pain.

Before the invention of anesthetic drugs, doctors in some countries used large amounts of high-concentration alcohol as an anesthetic to make patients lose their sense of pain before performing surgery.

This is also why some long-term drunkards find bruises and wounds on their bodies after sobering up, without realizing it at the time.

This applies equally to Yukiko Kudo.

Even though the warm water caused a dent in her lower abdomen, the woman didn't notice and was still trying her best to persuade the warm water to help her retrieve her shoes.

Of course, most of the promises she made were to help Wen Shui contact publishers and have Kudo Yusaku teach him writing secrets.

But Wen Shui was no longer able to focus on making money.

The mature woman's slightly chubby belly is just like the slender waist of a beautiful young girl without an ounce of fat.

These are two different kinds of beautiful existences that can coexist in the world. This user experience comment kept popping up in Wen Shui's mind.

However, this could not go well. If Uncle Mori and the others came out of the private room and saw the two of them entangled together, they would definitely come over and ask what was going on.

Although you can say that Yukiko Kudo was drunk and kept pestering him to help find her shoes, and that's why they argued because he refused.

But what's hard to explain is the somewhat awkward state of the warm water at this moment.

He didn't know where Ms. Chizuru, the proprietress of the izakaya, had gone, and he was also a little concerned about the Mr. Nakai that the waitress had called out earlier.

Wen Shui sighed inwardly, preparing to agree to Kudo Yukiko's request to end this farce as soon as possible.

Suddenly, he felt a considerable pressure on his feet.

Wen Shui looked down and saw that Kudo Yukiko had placed her two clean, white bare feet on his feet.

"If you're not going to help me, then I'll just step on you to get back," Yukiko Kudo said, her eyes glazed with drunkenness.

Wen Shui's eyes widened. He thought to himself, "If I go back in the way you suggested, Conan will probably shoot me with his wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun as soon as I walk in the door."

Eri probably wouldn't stand idly by; she might just rush over and give him an over-the-shoulder throw or something. Luckily, Ran wasn't here, otherwise he might have faced the risk of being used as a makeshift telephone pole again.

Wen Shui quickly pushed Kudo Yukiko away: "Stop messing around, do you think I'm your mount? Never mind, I'll go get it for you."

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Yukiko Kudo took a step back, a victorious smile on her face.

Her eyes were slightly dazed from being drunk, but they were bright and sparkling. Her slightly disheveled clothes and bare feet on the ground gave her a kind of messy beauty.

There was silence for a moment.

"Why aren't you going yet?" Yukiko Kudo asked.

Wen Shui: "I'm thinking about how to talk to the other person appropriately. Did you forget that you almost got into a fight just now?"

Actually, he was waiting for the situation to cool down. After all, there were several female guests in the other party's private room. If he rushed in like that, a fight might break out.

Yukiko Kudo didn't seem to notice anything wrong with the warm water.

After calming down in the hallway for a while, Wen Shui knocked on the door of the next guest room again and explained the situation to the other party.

Fortunately, some of the guests hadn't been drinking. After hearing Wen Shui's explanation, they even helped him search the private room because the scene had been a bit chaotic and no one had noticed where Kudo Yukiko had left her shoes.

The last piece of warm water was found behind a flowerpot near the windowsill, along with the shoe.

After thanking the other party, Wenshui came out of the room and threw her high heels at Kudo Yukiko in an annoyed manner.

Yukiko Kudo wasn't angry. Leaning against the wall, she raised her long, beautiful legs and slipped her slightly dirty, white feet into her high heels.

It must be said that, apart from her eccentric personality, this lady's figure is simply impeccable.

Even the way she puts on her shoes is comparable to a meticulously edited scene from an art film, with absolutely no flaws.

"What do you think of Ran?" Yukiko Kudo asked abruptly.

Wen Shui was taken aback for a moment: "What? What are you thinking?"

After putting on her shoes, Yukiko Kudo tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "Don't play dumb. You can even figure out such a complicated murder method in the movie theater. I don't believe you didn't guess why I was at the coffee shop that day."

Wen Shui looked at her with some surprise.

Does this mean they're not going to hide it anymore and are choosing to lay it all out directly?

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the dazed look in Yukiko Kudo's eyes has disappeared, probably because the alcohol has been mostly metabolized by her body and she has regained her senses.

Wen Shui thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any ideas. Xiao Lan and I are the closest comrades-in-arms."

"You didn't have any designs on it?" Yukiko Kudo pressed.

Xiao Lanxin, who was hiding nearby, immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

"How could I not? Anyone would have feelings for a girl as wonderful as Xiaolan, right?" Wen Shui said frankly, then changed the subject, "But I plan to focus all my energy on my career right now and don't plan to date for the time being."

The main problem is that the distillery's crisis remains unresolved, causing it to act hesitantly and cautiously in everything it does.
