Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

He was quite confident in his charm; girls with that kind of looks would never resist his sweet words.

However, not long after Michiwaki Masahiko left, Kyogoku Makoto looked at Michiwaki Masahiko's back with a complicated expression. He always felt that there was a murderous aura about this guy.

Makoto Kyogoku decided to go and see for himself.

Chapter 107 Enjoying Ran's company to the fullest in front of Conan...

Makoto Kyogoku arrived at the area where the boats were moored on the beach.

The staff member who was introducing the types of boats for rent to customers nearby immediately handed the client to his colleague and jogged over to greet Kyogoku Makoto: "Young master, what brings you here?"

Makoto Kyogoku: "Get me a motorboat, I want to go out to sea."

"Okay, I'll go prepare it right away."

The middle-aged man, whose skin was tanned to a bronze color, didn't ask any questions and immediately led Kyogoku Makoto to a motorboat: "This is a new batch we just bought last month, with 30% more horsepower than before."

Makoto Kyogoku nodded: "Thank you for your help, Uncle Ash."

"Young Master, these are all your family's properties, there's no need to be so polite." The man called Ashu scratched his head and smiled.

That's right. Not only the Wataya Inn, but even the boat rentals here are owned by the Kyogoku family, including the boat that Sonoko Suzuki rented.

Makoto Kyogoku and his family's employees inquired about the whereabouts of the brown-haired girl, and then chased after her in a motorboat.

The motorboat was powerful enough that Makoto Kyogoku quickly spotted the small yacht.

The yacht has remained stationary, anchored on the sea some distance from the coastline.

Detective Kogoro Mouri is holding a fishing rod, seemingly looking for a good spot to fish, while the two girls gaze at the endless sea.

Perhaps it was because Sonoko Suzuki and her group were fishing.

Therefore, although Masahiko Michiwaki had already followed, he did not rush over to disturb the other party.

Instead, they drove jet skis a little further away, circling around and occasionally performing some cool driving stunts.

Makoto Kyogoku guessed that the other party was probably trying to attract Sonoko Suzuki's attention.

Although he wasn't very good at pursuing girls, he had seen a lot of them and understood their tactics.

Actually, besides Kyogoku Makoto suspecting that Michiwaki Masahiko was the serial killer of brown-haired women, the main reason he was so concerned about this matter was because he had seen Suzuki Sonoko's sincere feelings when she cheered for Mouri Ran at the karate competition, regardless of the disapproving looks from others.

At that time, Makoto Kyogoku developed some affection for Sonoko Suzuki.

However, Kyogoku Makoto was a rather reserved and old-fashioned person, and he had an extraordinary obsession with karate. At that time, he did not take the initiative to talk to Suzuki Sonoko.

But this time, Suzuki Sonoko and her group unexpectedly ended up staying at his family's hotel.

It was then that Makoto Kyogoku had the idea of ​​getting to know Sonoko Suzuki again.

However, what puzzles Makoto Kyogoku now is the relationship between the girl named Sonoko Suzuki and the boy named Kazuki Nukumizu who is traveling with her.

If the two are already in a romantic relationship, it's impossible for Kyogoku Makoto to interfere in someone else's relationship.

However, Makoto Kyogoku discovered through observation that the person named Kazuki Onami seemed to have a close relationship with Ran Mouri, and Sonoko Suzuki seemed to have noticed all of this as well.

This left Makoto Kyogoku somewhat puzzled.

Every year during peak season, he would return to the seaside hotel to help with chores at home. He had seen many playboys like Masahiko Michiwaki, but he had never seen a case like that of Kazuki Onamizu.

It's impossible for both of them to be Wen Shui and Shu's romantic partners, right?

As he pondered this, Makoto Kyogoku maneuvered the jet ski to the other side of the open sea, pretending to be a tourist enjoying the thrill of driving the jet ski while secretly observing Masahiko Michiwaki.

.

The sun was shining brightly on the deck of the yacht.

Uncle Maori steered the boat until he could clearly see the distance to the parasols on the beach, then he anchored and stopped the boat.

Wen Shui stood at the bow of the deck, gazing at the endless coastline. The sky above was like a huge blue dome inverted, with white clouds and seagulls soaring in the sky like patterns adorning the murals on the dome.

Standing at the bow of the boat, the warm water and the trees deeply felt the pressure from nature.

But at the same time, it also feels like a release of all the negative emotions that have been building up in the big city.

"The scenery here is beautiful, but it also makes me feel a little uneasy." Sonoko Suzuki walked over, grabbed the railing of the boat, and looked up at the sky.

Looking at the calm sea, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, it feels like if a disaster were to occur, humanity wouldn't have any power to fight it."

"Don't say such unlucky things," Wen Shui couldn't help but complain.

Xiao Lan glanced at Wen Shui but didn't say anything.

Sonoko Suzuki interjected, "Don't worry, Ran is incredibly lucky. Even if a disaster really strikes, as long as you hold Ran, you'll be fine."

Ran said helplessly, "Sonoko, are you using me as a life preserver?"

"Hehe, why not?" Sonoko Suzuki ran to Ran's side with a grin. "With your great figure, you should be able to carry me and Nukumi on the water without any problem, right?"

As she spoke, Sonoko Suzuki reached out and poked Ran's pectoral muscle.

Wen Shui was shocked. So that's what a lifebuoy means?

"Sonoko! What are you doing?!" Ran was struck dumb and jumped up like a startled rabbit.

Sonoko looked at her fingertips in confusion, muttering to herself, "Huh? I didn't use any force, why is there such a big reaction..."

Actually, Ran and Sonoko sometimes make these kinds of jokes, and Ran wouldn't normally have such a strange reaction.

The main reason is that Xiaolan was ambushed by warm water last night.

I still haven't quite recovered.

In addition, the "suspect" from last night was right next to her, which resulted in Ran being given several layers of buffs, thus amplifying the power of Sonoko Suzuki's attack to this extent.

Xiaolan said to Yuanzi in a huff, "Honestly, didn't you just say that this place has the majesty of nature? I'm sure I'll be startled."

Sonoko Suzuki tilted her head: "Eh, is that the reason?"

Wen Shui looked at the distant coastline, pretending not to hear Xiao Lan's fabricated nonsense.

Just then, Uncle Mori's voice came from behind: "Hey, you guys should come and help out too. Also, hurry up and take Conan away. This kid is treating my bait like a toy."

Xiaolan: "Ah, here it comes."

Xiao Lan and Wen Shui, along with a few others, also joined in the preparations for fishing.

Conan looked at the busy group and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

The task of maneuvering the yacht to its dock was left to Uncle Mori, while Wen Shui and Xiao Lan set up the fishing gear and the deck chairs on the deck.

Sonoko and Ran had no intention of fishing; they were probably just going to watch the excitement and then go sunbathe.

After getting out of the driver's seat, Uncle Mori opened a long, rectangular box, took out an exquisite fishing rod, and kept explaining to everyone the excellent features of the fishing rod.

Although Wenshui and Sonoko didn't know much about it, they still politely offered a few words of praise.

After Conan got several big red bumps on his head, he also put on a fake smile and praised Kogoro Mouri's professional knowledge.

Only Xiaolan crossed her arms with a displeased expression: "Dad, you actually bought such an expensive fishing rod. I thought the money you hid under the sofa was for a gift for Mom."

"Buy her a gift? Why would I buy her a gift out of the blue?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.

Xiao Lan's small hands were clenched into a fist, as if she was trying hard to suppress her anger.

Wen Shui quickly tried to smooth things over: "Let's start fishing right away. I've heard that sea fishing is all about luck. If we don't catch anything, Mr. Amuro will laugh at us when we get back."

Uncle Mori patted his chest, stuck out his tongue, and laughed, "Don't worry, I can handle this little thing."

Kogoro Mouri walked to the side of the boat, took out special bait from the bait box, and seemed to actually know a bit about fishing.

Ran was helping her father, and Conan pretended to be curious but actually wanted to stay by Ran's side.

Then, Wen Shui took out a fishing rod that was only half the length of Uncle Maoli's from the box he was carrying and returned to the deck.

When his fishing rod appeared before everyone, they were all stunned. Then, Uncle Mori and Conan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Brother Wenshui, is this a children's fishing rod you prepared for me?"

"Hahaha, you little rascal, are you trying to be funny?"

Ran and Sonoko looked a little speechless, but neither of them said anything too offensive.

As Wen Shui approached, everyone saw the cartoon version of Professor Agasa's face on the fishing rod handle, and they all subconsciously took a step back.

Conan's eyes widened: "Brother Wen Shui, is this fishing rod an invention of Professor Agasa?"

Xiaolan also looked worried: "Won't this explode?"

Wen Shui smiled and said, "I won't answer. I tested it before I came, and it's very safe."

After saying that, Wen Shui cast the fishing hook out according to the instructions for using the specially made fishing rod.

"Wait a minute, aren't you going to put bait on your hook?" Kogoro Mouri asked in surprise.

Wen Shui shook his head: "Dr. Agasa said that you don't need to use bait; you can attract different kinds of fish just by adjusting the rotary knob on the handle."

Kogoro Mouri looked suspicious, as if he wondered if such a thing really existed.

But not long after, Uncle Mori lost his ability to speak.

Because the bucket next to the warm water was quickly filled with all kinds of fish, while the bucket next to Kogoro Mouri's feet only contained two small fish that were no bigger than Ran's palm.

Uncle Mori couldn't hold back any longer: "Damn it, you're cheating!"

"Dad, Wen Shui didn't say she wanted to compete with you," Xiao Lan complained, then looked at her father's fishing rod. "Besides, this fishing rod doesn't look worth that much money at all. You didn't get scammed, did you..."

While the adults behind him were arguing, Conan went to the deck at the stern of the ship and looked at the suspicious person driving a motorboat not far away.

Actually, there were three people riding jet skis near their yacht.

However, Conan knew that the dark-skinned man was the son of the owner of the Wawu Inn.

Another handsome guy who looked a bit frivolous often made cool and stylish moves and kept looking in their direction. He probably wanted to flirt with Xiaolan and attract her attention in this way.

Hmph, Xiaolan wouldn't be attracted to a guy like that.

Conan snorted and turned his gaze to the last fat man.

The man had a very short goatee, which made him look somewhat comical. He was also terrible at maneuvering the jet ski, but he seemed to be enjoying himself as he circled around on the sea.

He looked like a kind-looking middle-aged man.

But what really aroused Conan's suspicion was that this person had appeared near them more than once during last night's fireworks display, and then was riding a jet ski next to them again today.
