Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

"No, no need, I suddenly feel much better." Xiaolan quickly stopped Wenshui from coming over.

The kiss just now left Xiaolan feeling weak all over and she hasn't fully recovered yet.

If she really gets her body wiped with warm water and a hot towel, she probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

Wen Shui chuckled and said, "Alright, don't think too much about it. If you really want revenge, go to sleep and let your body recover. Tomorrow I'll stand on the beach and let you beat me up."

"That sounds nice, but we definitely won't be able to catch you then," Xiaolan muttered to herself.

"It's true, I promise. If you go to sleep obediently, I'll let you get your revenge tomorrow," Wen Shui patted her chest and promised.

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment: "Why...why did you do that just now?"

Without thinking, Wen Shui replied, "Of course it's because you're so cute, Ran-chan! If it were..." Wen Shui suddenly realized that before she could finish speaking, Ran had already hung up the phone.

Wen Shui hesitated for a moment, but finally sent a text message.

Xiaolan replied almost instantly: "I don't want to hear your explanation. Just wait until tomorrow when I beat you into a pig's head."

Wen Shui smiled gently. Xiao Lan seemed less angry now; as for why she hung up the phone, she was probably a little shy.

Knowing that in addition to going out to sea for fishing tomorrow, she might also encounter the real culprit, Masahiko Michiwaki, Nukumizu comforted Ran and then went to sleep.

Unbeknownst to Wen Shui, Ran Mouri couldn't fall asleep for a long time after hanging up the phone.

Xiaolan wrapped herself in the blanket, like a fried shrimp covered in batter, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Every time she closes her eyes, she sees Wen Shui's hateful face.

At the same time, a tingling sensation like an electric current will flash through your chest.

This tingling sensation spreads along the meridians of her body, making her feel weak and powerless.

After being tormented for a long time, Xiaolan suddenly threw off the blanket wrapped around her and lay on the tatami mat in a starfish position, staring at the ceiling.

With rapid breathing, his full pectoral muscles heaved violently.

I took a few deep breaths.

Xiaolan suddenly grabbed her left side, her face contorted with anger: "Damn it, you better be more assertive! That bastard only kissed you once, why are you still so upset?"

Xiaolan, who was upset by the shame, anger, and overly proactive attacks from Wenshui, has developed symptoms of personality dissociation.

.

The next morning, Wen Shui vaguely heard someone knocking on the door.

"Brother Wenshui, Brother Wenshui..."

It sounded like Conan's voice. Wen Shui got up from her futon, went over and opened the door, and saw Conan standing in the doorway wearing swim trunks.

Conan: "Brother Wen Shui, why are you still sleeping? Weren't we supposed to go fishing at sea today? Get up and eat!"

"Okay, I understand, I'll be right there." Wen Shui yawned, then turned around and started getting dressed and washing up.

Conan did not leave immediately, but carefully observed the condition of the warm water.

The reason Conan was so observant was because he noticed that Ran had also gotten up very late today, and she clearly hadn't slept well.

It's hard not to connect Conan, whose body has shrunk but whose intelligence is far beyond that of an ordinary person.

However, after Conan investigated Wen Shui's room, he found that the mosquito coils on the table had burned out and the tea stains that had been accidentally spilled when she got up at night, which proved that Wen Shui had indeed been sleeping in her room obediently last night.

There was similar evidence in Ran's room, which Conan has already checked.

Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday, Wen Shui ran away halfway through the fireworks festival and didn't return until they went back to the hotel to sleep. Conan thought Wen Shui had gone to investigate the serial killer.

That's why Conan lowered his guard a little.

However, Conan noticed something unusual as soon as he woke up in the morning. Fortunately, the final investigation turned out to be positive; it seemed that Nuwa and Ran hadn't secretly done anything to betray him.

"What are you looking at?" Wen Shui asked as she walked over after getting dressed, looking at Conan who was standing in the room grinning foolishly.

Conan shook his head and changed the subject, saying, "Nothing. By the way, Brother Wen Shui, what's in that box of yours?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Wen Shui smiled.

Then the two of them went to the hotel lobby on the first floor.

Ran and Sonoko were already sitting at the table eating, while Uncle Mori stirred his natto and boasted about his new fishing rod.

"Hey, Wenshui, why are you up so late?" Suzuki Sonoko moved aside to make room for Wenshui when she saw him.

Conan quickly sat down next to Ran.

Wen Shui had no choice but to sit down next to Miss Suzuki Sonoko, and then yawned: "I'm going to investigate something. I went to bed a little late last night."

Uncle Mori couldn't help but tease, "You little rascal, you look like you've been hollowed out. You didn't sneak out to see some prostitutes last night, did you?"

Normally, Xiaolan would have angrily stopped her father.

But today, Ran was engrossed in her food, as if she hadn't heard Kogoro Mouri's words at all.

Wen Shui thought to himself, "Uncle, you're only half right. Last night, I did indeed get entangled with a cute girl with horns on her head until midnight."

However, Wen Shui said, "How could that be? I've been thinking about that serial killer. After all, we're already here. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Mihua Detective Agency if we let him go unpunished?"

Uncle Mori looked incredulous, but didn't press for details. Instead, he introduced Wen Shui to his newly purchased fishing rod.

On the contrary, Sonoko Suzuki, who was easy to fool, became more enthusiastic.

In Sonoko Suzuki's mind, although Nukumizu was very good at solving cases, unlike Shinichi Kudo, he was not the kind of reasoning fanatic.

Solving cases with a lukewarm approach is a natural process. Usually, after encountering a case, a little investigation is enough to find the culprit, without making the investigation too tiring or exhausting.

This time, Wen Shui unusually slipped away halfway through the fireworks festival and stayed up all night thinking about the case, even developing dark circles under her eyes.

It must be because the killer's target was a woman with brown hair, right?

It must be because they were worried she would be attacked...

Sonoko, the young lady, conjured up a self-consistent logic in her mind, and then kept adding food to the bowl of warm water under the pretext of "this doesn't taste good," quickly filling the bowl with warm water.

Wen Shui couldn't help but say, "Hey, why are you putting so much on my plate? Don't you want me to eat the fish Uncle Mori caught?"

"Uh, sorry, I forgot about that." Sonoko Suzuki blushed slightly and put the contents of the warm water bowl back into her own bowl.

Conan, of course, also noticed Ran's unusual behavior today.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, he concluded that "Xiao Lan thinks Wen Shui might be going to a prostitute, so she is angry and acting cold."

Although Conan felt a little sad that his childhood friend was angry because another man was having an ambiguous relationship with a prostitute.

The good news is that this incident might dissuade Xiaolan from having that idea about warm water.

After all, given the family environment Xiaolan grew up in, she should have felt very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior from men.

Conan, with mixed feelings, picked up his rice bowl and began to eat heartily.

After breakfast, the group went to the beach. Stepping on the sand that was slightly hot from the sun, and basking in the warm sunshine, the boundless sea gave them a sense of exhilaration.

The wealthy Sonoko Suzuki rented a small yacht, the kind with a kitchen and rooms, so she could go fishing at sea, enjoy lunch on board, and rest on the boat when she got tired.

Uncle Mori was currently discussing various safety matters with the boat rental company owner.

Sonoko Suzuki had already changed into a sexy swimsuit and kept swaying back and forth in front of the warm water while observing the yacht.

However, after politely glancing at Sonoko a few times, Wenshui turned her attention to Ran, who was standing on the beach with her arms crossed.

It's not fair to blame him for favoring one over the other; it's mainly because Xiaolan's outfit was a bit strange.

Instead of changing into a swimsuit, she was wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt and super short hot pants. This outfit looked rather strange among the tourists at the beach.

The good news is that Xiaolan's leg injury doesn't seem to be serious; she didn't appear to be in any obvious discomfort after leaving the hotel.

Wen Shui walked over to Xiao Lan and asked curiously, "Why are you wearing long sleeves? Aren't you hot?"

"I caught a bit of a chill from the wind last night," Xiaolan said calmly.

"Did you get this on yourself while you were wiping your body?" Wen Shui asked, looking guilty. "It's all my fault. I should have cleaned you up before I left."

Xiao Lan immediately lost her composure, turned her head to glare at Wen Shui, and directly raised her leg to deliver a side kick to Wen Shui.

Wen Shui easily dodged Xiao Lan's attack.

"Oh, it seems your leg is all healed now," Wen Shui said with a smile.

"You...you didn't actually do 'that,' did you?" Xiaolan asked suspiciously.

"What?" Wen Shui asked.

Xiaolan glared at him: "What else could it be? Your dark circles are so heavy, and you look like you've been hollowed out..."

Wen Shui suddenly realized, then looked wronged: "How could that be? I already said I didn't fall asleep because I was thinking about the case."

Just as Ran was about to say something, Sonoko Suzuki suddenly ran over: "What are you two talking about?"

The two exchanged a glance, and Xiaolan snorted coldly without saying a word.

Sonoko Suzuki sensed that something was off about the two of them, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

At this moment, Uncle Mori called out to everyone, "Let's get on the boat, we can set off now. Oh, and Ran, don't forget to take my fishing rod."

The group boarded a small yacht, and Uncle Mori steered it towards the horizon.

.

Just as the group of Onami and his companions boarded the ship, Masahiko Michiwaki arrived near the hotel where Onami was staying, looking for the brown-haired girl with a camera and headband from the previous night.

Of course, he didn't intend to kill the other person.

It was when he was committing the crime in the forest last night that he suddenly saw a bright light when he turned around, and at that moment, the brown-haired girl with the headband was holding a camera.

Judging from the other person's expression, they probably didn't realize he had committed murder.

However, the camera might capture some evidence.

However, at the time, Masahiko Michiwaki was covered in blood and couldn't chase after him to talk to him.

So I had to get up early this morning and look for the short, brown-haired girl with the headband at a nearby hotel.

Because the girl's headband was very distinctive, Masahiko Michiwaki found the Wataya Inn where Sonoko and the others were staying without much effort.

The bad news is that the other party actually went out to sea by boat, and it seems they won't be back until tonight.

Masahiko Michiwaki couldn't wait that long, so he decided to rent a jet ski and chase after her, hoping to approach her by striking up a conversation and then find a way to steal the camera.
