Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Let's end it with an explanation like pretending to be a thug to kidnap and extort money, then having Conan's parents pay the ransom before releasing him. That might be the best way to handle it.

Yusaku Kudo: "Oh, right, I'm going to see an old friend later, so I'll leave this place to you tonight."

"What?" Yukiko Kudo's eyes widened. "You're going out drinking again?"

"I'm going to discuss serious business. I'd like to ask a few old friends to see if they can help Shinichi find out the identities of those people," Yusaku Kudo explained.

Yukiko Kudo was somewhat displeased, but she still nodded: "Alright, how are the preparations going on Professor Agasa's side?"

Yusaku Kudo: "The professor said he's going to a seminar to promote his new invention, but he'll definitely be back tomorrow morning. I'll just have him go straight to the Beika Restaurant tomorrow."

After the two discussed it, Kudo Yusaku put on the mask of the Dark Baron.

They returned to the living room on the second floor.

Upon entering the house, Yukiko Kudo immediately began to put on an acting show, pretending to be a member of the Black Organization along with Yusaku Kudo.

During their conversation, the two deliberately revealed to Conan that they were going to the Beika Grand Hotel the next morning to make a deal with a man, and that Kudo Yusaku, disguised as the Dark Baron, was going to feed the APTX-4869 in his hand to the person they were dealing with.

They also decided to wait until they returned before silencing Conan and Wen Shui.

Since Wen Shui was given sleeping pills, there's no need to worry about him hearing things he shouldn't.

Knowing his son well, Yusaku Kudo would definitely discover the storage cabinet under the floorboards and hide inside in this situation.

Tomorrow morning, I'll take the warm water to the Beika Restaurant right in front of Conan, and then figure out a way to put it in a safe place. That will perfectly solve the problem.

.

After Yusaku Kudo left, Yukiko Kudo sat listlessly in the first-floor living room.

Dinner was brought by Yusaku Kudo, along with some snacks and local specialties.

However, this villa was rented temporarily. Because it was located in a remote area, the price was very cheap, but the corresponding facilities were very basic, and they couldn't even find TV programs.

After eating her fill, Yukiko Kudo had nothing to do and suddenly felt a little bored.

In addition, it's still early, so I can't fall asleep even if I want to.

Why don't we go and scare those two hostages?

Thinking of this, Yukiko Kudo suddenly became interested. Actually, Conan was secondary; she mainly wanted to teach that bastard who used her as a magic casting material a lesson.

Mrs. Kudo rummaged through her large backpack, which was a disguise prop, for a long time before finding a pair of stiletto heels and a tight leather outfit to change into.

Then they found a black elastic cord, which was originally used to hold clothes in place.

However, it's not impossible to use it as a whip if taken out on its own.

Hmph, today I'll show you how powerful big sister is.

Chapter 87 fast forward to taking a bath with Mrs. Kudo.

Around 8 p.m., Wen Shui finally woke up slowly.

He found himself tied up with ropes, leaning against the refrigerator in the corner of the kitchen. The kitchen was dark because the lights were off, and there was a distinct smell of dust in the air.

"You're finally awake!" Conan immediately ran to Wen Shui's side and complained, "Brother Wen Shui, you're so lame! You actually tripped over yourself."

"Stop talking nonsense! If it weren't for saving you, how could I have been captured by thugs?" Wen Shui retorted angrily, her face flushed.

Wen Shui didn't want Conan to discover anything amiss. Although there wasn't a ruthless culprit in this case, it would still be troublesome if others found out that Wen Shui knew Conan's true identity.

So Wen Shui chose to pretend to be a confused detective who had been kidnapped by kidnappers, and retorted angrily.

Conan didn't dwell on the issue. He whispered, "Brother Wen Shui, we need to find a way to escape."

"Of course," Wen Shui said irritably. "Have you discovered anything?"

"We're in a secluded villa now. All our communication devices have been taken away. That woman also has a male accomplice wearing a Dark Baron mask, but he just said he went to meet up with his companions and probably won't be back tonight..."

Conan explained their current situation.

Of course, Conan didn't tell the thugs about the deal they were going to make at the Beika Grand Hotel the next day.

Conan felt that he could find clues about the Black Organization there, and for a detective like Nuku, who was so bad at walking that he would trip over himself, it would be too dangerous to come into contact with criminals of that caliber.

Wen Shui checked her belongings and found that not only her phone, but anything that could cut the rope had been taken away. This level of vigilance was very much in line with the kidnapper's persona.

It seems Mrs. Kudo really has some talent in this area.

However, Wen Shui had anticipated this situation, so he only brought his everyday phone. Even if the other party took the phone, he didn't need to worry about his connection with the Black Organization being discovered.

In fact, Wenshui didn't think the Kudo couple would be so rude as to check other people's phones; they were just doing it as a precaution.

"So, we're now trapped with no way to escape?" Wen Shui frowned.

Conan suddenly smiled mysteriously: "I have an idea, but you might have to suffer a bit, Brother Wen Shui."

"Tell me first."

Conan turned around and lifted the carpet in the middle of the kitchen, revealing a hidden door to a storage room underneath.

Wen Shui's eyes lit up: "You mean we hide here, pretend to escape through the window, and then come out of the storage room after those thugs leave?"

"You're only half right," Conan chuckled. "This place is too small; it can only accommodate one person at most."

Wen Shui's face darkened: "You don't mean to send me out here to die, do you?"

"No, I overheard the thugs talking. It seems like those two have an important deal to make tomorrow," Conan quickly explained. "They won't lay a hand on us until the deal is done."

I guess they'll lock you in this house, or at most beat you up.

Once they leave, we can get away.

Conan's explanation is reasonable and largely consistent with the original plot that Wen Shui had read.

He pretended to ponder for a moment, then nodded: "It seems that this is the only way for now. By the way, did you overhear where they were planning to make the deal, and what their purpose was in kidnapping you?"

Conan looked embarrassed and scratched his head: "I don't know, but I heard that they're planning to use us as subjects for human experiments."

Conan offered a half-true, half-false explanation.

With the escape plan in place, all that's left to do is wait patiently.

Fearing a surprise inspection by criminals, Conan did not immediately crawl into the underground storage box, but planned to hide there the next morning when the criminals were about to leave.

Wen Shui and Conan, a young boy, didn't have much to talk about, and since he had gone to bed too late the night before, he took this opportunity to catch up on his sleep.

Unexpectedly, Wen Shui was awakened from her dream of discovering the trail of the Slit-Mouthed Woman by the crisp sound of high heels on the ground outside the door.

The door opened, and the harsh light from the corridor shone in.

Wen Shui and Conan subconsciously squinted and looked towards the door.

Wen Shui noticed a tall, slender young woman standing at the door, dressed in a tight black leather outfit. She had a very voluptuous figure, wore alluring stiletto heels, and held what looked like a whip in her hand.

Wen Shui was stunned, thinking, "What the hell?"

Although he immediately recognized that the woman was Yukiko Kudo in disguise, this was different from the original Conan story.

Just then, Yukiko Kudo spoke up, though in a completely different, unfamiliar voice: "You guys actually have the energy to sleep? I'm too excited to sleep."

"Who are you?" Conan asked warily.

With the graceful strides of a model, Yukiko Kudo walked up to Conan, who was bound by ropes, and grabbed him by the back of the neck: "Come on, kid, keep your sister company and relieve your boredom."

Conan was startled and immediately struggled, shouting, "Let me go! Let me go!"

To fit her persona, Wen Shui angrily shouted, "Let go of that child! If you have a problem, come at me!"

Yukiko Kudo stopped at the door, turned to look at Wen Shui, and chuckled, "Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon."

With that, she grabbed Conan and left the kitchen.

Yukiko Kudo locked the kitchen door from the inside and took Conan to the study on the second floor. Since they were locked in the kitchen, Numizu couldn't hear their conversation.

"That guy Uzo actually caught you, Detective Shinichi Kudo." Yukiko Kudo looked at Conan curiously.

"Who are you? Where is that old lady from earlier?" Conan asked coldly, staring at the strange woman.

Uzo?

It seems to be the name of a Greek wine. It looks like the people who kidnapped him were indeed in cahoots with Gin and his gang.

"That auntie you mentioned also went to help out in Uzo. I'll be keeping an eye on you guys tonight." Yukiko Kudo pinched Conan's cheek. "It's amazing that people can actually turn into children. I wonder if that will keep me young forever."

Conan stepped back slightly: "How did you find out who I am? Are you Sherry?"

Yukiko Kudo looked displeased. Even though they were already in such a desperate situation, she was still trying to find out information about the Black Organization.

If this kid isn't taught a lesson, it seems he won't learn his lesson.

So Mrs. Kudo flipped Conan over and, just like when Conan broke the neighbor's window while playing soccer as a child, gave him a good spanking on the butt.

Conan's screams echoed in the study.

Upstairs in the kitchen, Wen Shui couldn't hear the mother and son's conversation through the door, but she could clearly hear Conan's screams and the sounds of him being beaten.

what's the situation?

Can't sleep in the middle of the night, so you get up and hit your child for fun?

Wen Shui was speechless, thinking to herself that Mrs. Kudo was too immature and wondered how Conan had managed to get through all these years.

Wait a minute! Didn't she just say that it would be my turn soon?

Could this woman be using this opportunity to get revenge?

Wen Shui suddenly thought of this possibility, and it seemed that he had no way to counter it. If he directly revealed his identity, he would have to accept the secret of "knowing Conan's identity".

If we don't reveal our identities...

Conan outside was screaming in pain, and Wen Shui didn't want to get beaten up by that woman for no reason; she wasn't her mother. Even if it were Ai Haibara... that wouldn't work either!

The lukewarm water was caught in a dilemma.

Damn it, why is it that a case with no murderer is causing him so much trouble? Wen Shui couldn't help but complain in her heart.

However, before he could think for long, Yukiko Kudo took Conan back to the kitchen.

Conan's face seemed to have lost its light, and he was left in the corner of the kitchen with a blank look in his eyes.

Yukiko Kudo stepped in front of Awami, and a somewhat pungent perfume scent wafted towards her.

This scent was different from the sweet fragrance he remembered Mrs. Kudo wearing. Even with warm water, he could tell that the perfume had no taste. She probably wore it to disguise her identity.
