Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Kogoro Mouri nodded:

"Yeah, Mr. Amuro, you actually came all this way to work, aren't you working way too hard?"

“The pay is higher here, but I’m only here to help out for a few days.” Amuro Tooru smiled, then looked at Suzuki Sonoko, “By the way, Ms. Suzuki, you’d better stay with everyone at night and not be alone.”

"Huh? Why?" Sonoko tilted her head, looking confused.

Amuro then told Sonoko Suzuki about the incident in the neighborhood where a brown-haired girl had been murdered by a thug. He said that two girls had been killed in the past few days.

Sonoko Suzuki's face paled slightly as she clung to Ran's arm, saying, "How perverted! They only attack girls with brown hair."

“Yeah, it would be great if we could catch the culprit sooner.” Amuro Tooru sighed, then glanced meaningfully at Nukumi. “Anyway, you two should be fine as long as you stay together.”

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Amuro," Sonoko Suzuki said, expressing her gratitude.

However, Sonoko Suzuki still looked somewhat uneasy.

Wen Shui said softly to Yuanzi, "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Uncle Mori patted his chest and assured him, "That's right, don't worry about that. After all, I'm the famous detective Kogoro Mori. Even the most vicious criminals will be scared away by my aura. Sonoko, you just need to stay close to me."

Sonoko Suzuki nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave my safety to the two great detectives."

Conan rolled his eyes; the big red bump on his head from Sonoko's punch hadn't even faded yet.

However, this was the first time Conan had heard of a serial murder case in the area.

Compared to the fireworks display, Conan still finds the serial killer more interesting.

Even more interesting than the serial killers in the case are the serial killers who only attack women with brown hair.

.

The fireworks display was packed with people.

At the roadside fried noodle stall, the muscular uncle kept stirring the noodles with his spatula, which never stopped.

At the takoyaki stall next door, Xiaolan held her wallet and watched the stall owner's process intently. The batter bubbled in the round holes of the griddle, and the stall owner skillfully flipped it with a metal skewer. The golden balls were quickly put into a cardboard box and sprinkled with dancing bonito flakes.

Sonoko Suzuki was queuing at the glutinous rice ball stall next to Ran's; this stall was always packed. Sonoko had been waiting for ages, and there were still several customers ahead of her.

Wen Shui and Uncle Mori waited with Conan in an open space not far away.

Uncle Mori, holding a glass of ice-cold beer, said, "Drinking beer in this kind of atmosphere really gives you a completely different feeling than usual."

Conan held a rabbit-shaped balloon in his hand, looking speechless.

Wen Shui's hands were stuffed with a lot of food, including grilled corn, candied apples, grilled squid, and soda...

These were all leftovers that Ran and Sonoko had bought but didn't eat.

However, there's no need to worry about wasting food. You can continue eating it when you go to the fireworks festival, and you'll probably have a late-night snack when you get back to the hotel, so you can use that as a late-night snack too.

Not long after, Ran and Sonoko returned with their bounty on their hands.

Ran handed the takoyaki in her hand to Kogoro Mouri: "Dad, try this."

Uncle Mori took it, took a bite, and then glanced at the time: "Let's not buy any more food. Let's walk forward and then head to the venue."

The group nodded and strolled forward with the flow of people.

At that moment, Sonoko Suzuki handed a skewer of grilled dumplings to Ichika Onami: "How is it? Is it good?"

Wen Shui took a bite and nodded: "It's a bit hot, but it tastes really good. No wonder there are so many people queuing up."

Suddenly, Xiaolan's indistinct voice came from beside him: "&@%￥#%￥..."

Wen Shui turned around and saw that Xiao Lan's mouth was stuffed with takoyaki, and her cheeks were bulging like a hamster that had stolen some snacks.

"Don't eat so much at once," Wen Shui said with a wry smile.

Xiaolan swallowed a little: "This is the right way to enjoy food."

After saying that, she repeated her previous action and swallowed both takoyaki at the same time.

Looking at Xiaolan's charming and adorable appearance, Wenshui couldn't help but reach out and gently poke the puff on her cheek when Xiaolan wasn't paying attention.

"ah"

Xiao Lan exclaimed in surprise, swallowing most of the food in her mouth.

"What are you doing? You scared me!" Xiaolan glared at Wenshui and gently patted her chest.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like poking your cheek."

"Are you a pervert, Wen Shui?" Xiao Lan was stunned.

"No, don't you think it's cute?" Since Conan and Uncle Mori weren't around, Wen Shui became much bolder.

Xiao Lan's eyes widened, and her fair cheeks instantly flushed an alluring red.

She glared at Wen Shui, then ran away.

Wen Shui seems to be getting bolder lately. Should I find an opportunity to remind him to be mindful of his limits? Xiao Lan suddenly felt a little confused.

Wen Shui hasn't quite shaken off the atmosphere of youthful romance yet.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Sonoko Suzuki rushing towards him with a grilled squid about the length of her forearm, her eyes filled with hostility.

"What do you want to do?" Wen Shui took a step back.

Sonoko Suzuki smiled and squinted, "It's nothing, I just suddenly think you're kind of cute today, Wenwen, and I want to poke your cheek."

"Those are bamboo skewers! They'll kill me!" Wen Shui turned and ran.

"Don't run, you bastard!"

Sonoko Suzuki's fair little feet clattered in wooden clogs, the crisp sound following closely behind.

Later, on the way to the fireworks display venue, Xiaolan was lucky enough to win a second prize—a motorcycle model—in the ring toss game.

She originally wanted to give it to Conan as a toy, but Conan refused with a look of disgust.

Finally, Xiaolan discussed it with the shop owner and used the second prize to exchange for several pendants, giving one to each of Wenshui and the others.

Wen Shui was figuring out how to attach the pendant to her phone when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd.

The person had slightly curly, brownish-red short hair and was holding a shaved ice in their hand, taking small bites.

The cold expression on her face and her familiar icy blue pupils made Wen Shui feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

What's going on? How did Ai Haibara grow up again and follow us to Izu?

"What's wrong with you?" Sonoko noticed something was wrong with the warm water and asked curiously.

"It's okay, I'll leave for a bit, don't wait for me." Wen Shui shook her head.

Then she put the pendant in her yukata pocket, squeezed through the crowd, and chased after Ai Haibara in the direction she had left.

Please take one day off.

I'm not feeling well, I need to rest and adjust. or2

Thank you all for your generous donations, monthly tickets, and subscriptions! Bang bang bang!

Chapter 101 Investigating Ai Haibara with Tooru Amuro

Yukiko Kudo, holding a strawberry-flavored shaved ice, wandered aimlessly with the flow of people.

The aroma of various delicious foods wafted from the roadside stalls.

Takoyaki, fried noodles, grilled corn... the dazzling array of food made Yukiko Kudo's mouth water.

However, after spending half a day at the fireworks festival, Yukiko Kudo only bought a skewer of grilled dumplings and a strawberry smoothie.

At her age, she needs to start paying attention to her daily calorie intake in order to keep her figure in shape.

Fortunately, Mrs. Kudo, a retired actress, has an unwavering will in this regard that is unmatched by ordinary people.

After lingering for a while at a goldfish scooping stall, Yukiko Kudo suddenly heard Conan's familiar noisy voice behind her:

"I don't like this food, Sonoko-neechan, please don't give me all the bad stuff!"

Yukiko Kudo glanced back and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

To surprise Wen Shui and Shu, she cannot reveal her identity yet.

In fact, according to Yukiko Kudo's original plan, she shouldn't have appeared at the fireworks festival, but instead waited until she was alone at night to sneak into the warm water room.

Let the warm water and the tree experience it too.

The feeling of being tied up in a shameful position and watched by everyone.

But after disguising herself as Ai Haibara in the hotel room, looking at her cold and beautiful face with Western heritage in the mirror, Yukiko Kudo suddenly felt like going outside for a stroll.

Thus, Mrs. Kudo, unaware of Ai Haibara's true identity and situation.

She arrived at the fireworks festival wearing Ai Haibara's face.

Of course, she considered the possibility of running into Wenshui and Kogoro Mouri here, so she used the excuse of a mother caring for her son to get information out of Conan.

After arriving at the venue, he kept avoiding Wen Shui and the others.

There were many people at the fireworks display, and because she was careful enough, she was not discovered.

If it weren't for the fact that Wenshui has a detective-related entry, it would probably be impossible to spot her among a bunch of girls wearing similar-colored and styled yukatas.

Of course, Mrs. Kudo is currently unaware that she has been discovered.

She remained cautiously at a distance from Wen Shui and her group, then used her youthful body and appearance to enjoy the atmosphere of the fireworks festival.

This continued until the first firework slowly rose into the sky, bursting into a dazzling display of light in the night.

Yukiko Kudo then came to her senses. She glanced at the time and felt she should go back and make preparations.

Since the plan for the night was to sneak into the hotel, her yukata and wooden clogs weren't suitable for that kind of thing. Besides, she needed to call Conan later to ask what time they would be back at the hotel, so she needed to find a quiet place.

Yukiko Kudo walked along the path toward her hotel.

Most tourists come here specifically to see the fireworks display, and very few people, like Yukiko Kudo, go in the opposite direction.

As I walked, the number of people around me dwindled.

Just after Yukiko Kudo crossed a railway track, a rather handsome young man emerged from the nearby woods.
