Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

"Beautiful lady, would you be interested in going to the fireworks display with me?" The man approached her naturally with a somewhat frivolous smile.

Yukiko Kudo was approached by quite a few people along the way.

Without giving it much thought, she simply used the same excuse she had given earlier and shook her head: "Sorry, I have to go back to be with my child."

Michiwaki Masahiko was taken aback, not expecting the other party to respond to him in this way.

Using the light of the streetlamp, Michiwaki Masahiko carefully examined the girl in front of him. She had short, light brown hair and a refined, elegant appearance. Her delicate face suggested she had half Western ancestry, and her figure under the yukata looked quite voluptuous.

If it were a few years ago, someone like Masahiko Michiwaki would definitely have relentlessly pursued him.

But now, all he wants to do is kill every brown-haired woman in the world, and he'll stab the pretty ones even more.

Michiwaki Masahiko looked around and found that no one was passing by.

He then pulled out a dagger from his person and smiled, saying, "Miss, it's not very polite to refuse someone with such an excuse."

Yukiko Kudo was startled: "What are you doing?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to invite you to watch the fireworks festival together." Michiwaki Masahiko approached step by step with a cold smile. "I happen to know a shortcut that goes through this forest and we can get to the venue."

Yukiko Kudo naturally didn't believe the other party's nonsense.

However, everyone was watching the fireworks at that time, and there were no pedestrians or vehicles passing by, so it was impossible to find anyone to ask for help.

But Mrs. Kudo was clearly not the type to sit idly by and wait for her fate. She first pretended to be scared, and then took advantage of Michiwaki Masahiko's inattention to hit him.

He then turned and ran.

Unfortunately, Yukiko Kudo's fighting ability was not strong, and Masahiko Michiwaki quickly got up from the ground and chased after her.

Yukiko Kudo was wearing wooden clogs, and she was caught up by the other party in just a few steps.

Just as Yukiko Kudo was falling into despair and regretting coming here.

A man wearing a Kamen Rider mask suddenly appeared from the nearby grove and quickly chased away Masahiko Michiwaki.

Kamen Rider pulled her up from the ground and asked in a hoarse voice, "Miss, are you alright?"

Yukiko Kudo shook her head.

Kamen Rider: "Okay, then you can go to where there are more people. I'll take care of things here."

"Okay, thank you." Still shaken, Yukiko Kudo answered instinctively, then noticed that the other person had turned around and chased after her, before turning back to tell her not to call the police yet.

Soon, she heard footsteps behind her. A young couple with their son passed by her, seemingly heading to the fireworks display.

The appearance of the passerby made Yukiko Kudo breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Then she told the family of three about the attack she had just experienced, and warned them to be careful and avoid going to secluded areas.

After seeing the three off, Yukiko Kudo began to think about why Kamen Rider hadn't let her call the police.

Shouldn't we contact the police as soon as possible to assist with the search? Could it be that this masked superhero is actually in cahoots with the criminals?

The thought only lingered in Mrs. Kudo's mind for a moment before disappearing.

Because she saw a painted doll pendant lying on the ground at her feet.

She recognized at a glance that the pendant was a gift from Xiaolan to Wen Shui and Shu.

No wonder she felt a familiar scent on the other person earlier; it turns out that the masked superhero was that kid, Wen Shui and Shu.

But then another question arises: why did Wen Shui come to save her wearing a Kamen Rider mask? After all, she's currently wearing the face of a girl named Ai Haibara.

Could it be that……

A detective-like glint of wisdom flashed in Mrs. Kudo's eyes.

Could it be that the girl named Ai Haibara didn't leave because of family matters, but because of her emotional entanglement with Kazuki Nukumi?

Is the reason why Wen Shui and Shu dare not face each other because they feel guilty?

Was it an accidental pregnancy? Or a love triangle?

Did Xiaolan get involved in the conflict between Wenshui and that girl?

Yukiko Kudo subconsciously started gossiping in her mind, and the fear in her eyes had long since turned into intense curiosity.

She found things increasingly interesting.

Now that she had confirmed that the person she had just met was Wen Shui and Shu, Kudo Yukiko obediently searched for them without calling the police and turned to walk towards the hotel.

Mrs. Kudo was even more excited about their meeting that evening than before.

.

By the time Wen Shui chased after them, Michiwaki Masahiko had already vanished.

Fearing that the other party might turn back and attack Yukiko Kudo, he secretly protected Mrs. Kudo from the woods in the distance.

In fact, after seeing Ai Haibara's body grow larger and appear at the fireworks festival, Nuku Shui had been thinking about a question.

Is this a test from the Black Organization?

After all, under normal circumstances, even if Ai Haibara really recovered her body, she would still contact him.

So Wen Shui decided to secretly follow the woman to see who she was.

Unexpectedly, they encountered an attack by serial killer Masahiko Michiwaki.

Seeing Ai Haibara running away in a panic, Wen Shui had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, and then took the opportunity to test her a little when she helped her up from the ground.

That kind of feel is either Yukiko Kudo or Vermouth.

While Ai Haibara is also magnificent, she is still somewhat different from mature women.

Thinking of this, Wen Shui first called Vermouth.

After the call connected, there was a burst of gunfire followed by the faint sound of the yakuza's signature tongue flick: "Hello, what's up?"

Warm Water: "I'm on vacation in Izu. Is there anything you'd like as a gift?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

“We are a terrifying organization hidden in the shadows. Even when we don’t have missions, we don’t use this kind of way to connect with each other.” Vermouth’s tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

Wen Shui thought for a moment: "Hmm, are there any suitable souvenirs for a terrifying organization that hides in the shadows?"

Vermouth: "..."

"I'm glad you came back alive. I have a few small problems to deal with, so I'll hang up now."

Before the call ended, Wen Shui heard gunshots and screams again.

What a terrifying woman! However, Vermouth can be largely ruled out as a suspect, leaving only the option of "Mischievous Mrs. Kudo".

After narrowing down the scope.

Wen Shui followed the other party all the way back to another hotel, and then sneaked into the hotel under the cover of night, just in time to hear Kudo Yukiko making a phone call to Conan in her own voice.

Wen Shui immediately wanted to rush in, hang her on the door, and give her a good beating with a whip.

However, he eventually calmed down. It's understandable that Yukiko Kudo, unaware of Ai Haibara's situation, would come up with such a prank.

But now a new problem has arisen.

Yukiko Kudo must have spent a long time wandering around the fireworks festival. If she happened to be spotted by the Black Organization's spies, they would definitely follow that lead and investigate.

At that point, even warm water might become a suspect.

Wen Shui sat on the street near the hotel, deep in thought for a long time, and finally decided to take a risky approach to resolve the matter.

.

Wawu Hotel, first floor.

Amuro Tooru had just refilled the refrigerator with alcohol and drinks and was cleaning the living room.

After the guests return from watching the fireworks display, many will likely want to have some drinks and late-night snacks. It's best to prepare in advance to avoid any last-minute scrambling.

Although Amuro Tooru's part-time job was for intelligence gathering, he absolutely deserved the salary.

Just then, Wen Shui and Shu walked in through the hotel entrance. Amuro Tooru glanced behind Wen Shui and noticed that Ran and the others hadn't returned with her.

Amuro Tooru smiled with satisfaction.

He figured Wen Shui must have gone to investigate the serial killer, and judging from the serious expression on his face, he must have come back to investigate.

This way, he can focus on his mission without having to work overtime investigating the killer who specifically targets women with brown hair.

As expected, Wen Shui and Shu have a heart of justice. Amuro Tooru's smile became even brighter.

However, to Amuro Tooru's utter surprise, the first thing Nuku said as she approached was:

"I'm reporting that I saw Shirley at the fireworks festival just now."

"What?" Amuro Tooru was taken aback.

Wen Shui gestured for him to go outside to talk. The two then went to a secluded corner outside the hotel, where Wen Shui recounted what she had just seen to Amuro Tooru.

Of course, Nuwa couldn't tell Amuro Tooru the whole truth.

He simply said that he saw a woman who looked a lot like Shirley appear beside him, so he quietly followed her and found that the woman's behavior was a bit strange.

In this way, even if members of the Black Organization see Yukiko Kudo disguised as Ai Haibara, they will not doubt Nuku's loyalty.

He's already reported it himself, what more do you want from him?

After listening, Amuro Tooru frowned and looked at Wen Shui with a complicated expression.

"You don't have any other tasks tonight, right?" Wen Shui asked.

Amuro Tooru: "Nothing's happening today."

"Great!" Wen Shui laughed happily. "Then let's investigate that woman together. I have a feeling there's something strange about her."

Amuro Tooru's expression became even more surprised.

.

Beika Town, the underground parking lot of an office building.

A black Porsche 356a was parked in a corner not captured by surveillance cameras, with the engine off.

Gin and Vodka sat in the car, patiently waiting for their target tonight to emerge from the office.

Gin sat in the passenger seat, fiddling with his pistol magazine, while Vodka held his phone, checking information about the next target.
