Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

In less than two seconds, they landed near the rope ladder.

Meanwhile, Masahiko Michiwaki had already grabbed the bottom of the rescue ladder, but he was too exhausted to climb very fast.

The sound of something emerging from the water behind him was like a death knell, making his limbs go weak and leaving him utterly powerless.

In his despair, Ran's appearance gave Masahiko Michiwaki a glimmer of hope.

"Quick, pull me up!" Masahiko Michiwaki cried out in terror, reaching out to Ran for help.

However, Ran turned around and kicked Michiwaki Masahiko in the face, sending him flying like a punching bag.

Immediately afterwards, the shark emerged from the sea.

His sharp teeth snapped shut in the spot where Michiwaki Masahiko had been, making a chilling sound.

The shark, having failed in its attack, fell back into the sea, but soon resurfaced.

This time, the shark directly targeted Xiaolan.

Xiaolan focused her mind and took a karate stance with her slender arms, aiming at the shark's vulnerable nose.

To increase her lethality, she even imagined the shark as the lukewarm water and trees that had been disrespectful to her the previous night.

"drink!"

The girl's fist collided with the shark's nose.

The surrounding space and time seemed to freeze, frozen into a close-up shot from a shonen manga.

Immediately afterwards, the shark's snout visibly collapsed, and its massive body was slammed into the seawater at an even faster speed, creating a wave higher than Xiaolan's position.

I could vaguely hear a few sobs.

Shark Sauce surfaced, gave the terrifying woman a pitiful look, wagged its tail, and turned to run away.

Xiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and then her arms began to tremble slightly.

Actually, she rushed down the mountain purely on her instinct to save people. When her adrenaline was depleted, the belated fear made Xiaolan feel a wave of lingering dread.

Just then, Sonoko Suzuki's voice came from above.

"Yay! Xiaolan is so cool!"

Ran looked up and saw Sonoko Suzuki leaning on the railing, raising her arms and shouting. Next to her, Wen Shui had a dark expression; his concern was mixed with displeasure, as if he were blaming her for her reckless behavior.

Xiao Lan stuck her tongue out at the warm water.

However, Ran felt that her fear and lingering apprehension had dissipated somewhat with the encouragement of her best friend Sonoko Suzuki and the care from Wenshui.

.

On the other hand, after discovering that a shark had attacked Masahiko Michiwaki.

Makoto Kyogoku immediately drove his motorcycle to the rescue.

The Chiba Prefecture detective, "Shoji Terabayashi," who was disguised as a tourist, immediately drove his motorboat toward the yacht.

However, because one of them had poor driving skills and the other was quite far away at the time of the incident, the shark had already been chased away by Xiaolan when they arrived at the scene.

Makoto Kyogoku drove his motorboat directly to the side of the yacht, intending to board.

Although the sharks were driven away, the boat is still his property, and it would still cause trouble if something happened to a passenger on board.

Especially if a shark appears in the sea, mishandling it could cause nearby hotels to lose business, which would be a real problem.

Detective Terahina Seiji did not choose to reveal his identity. After confirming that no one was injured, he drove his motorboat away from the area.

However, what had just happened was still playing repeatedly in Terahina Seiji's mind like a slideshow.

First, the boy on the boat caught a shark with his fishing rod, and then the gentle and obedient girl punched the shark away...

Are they filming a special effects movie?

Terahina Shoji felt it was a bit hard to accept.

Moreover, the man with the mustache looked somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment, the second criminal police officer of the Terahina Province decided to go back and investigate the identities of the people on the ship.

.

Ran and Masahiko Michiwaki were pulled onto the deck one after the other.

"Xiao Lan, are you alright?" Uncle Mori asked anxiously, hovering around Xiao Lan.

When he returned with the fire axe, he found Xiaolan hanging in mid-air, fighting a shark.

He was so scared he almost jumped out of his skin.

Fortunately, Ran knocked the shark away with one punch, which relieved Kogoro Mouri a little.

"It's okay, Dad. Let's check on the gentleman who fell into the water first," Xiaolan said.

Uncle Mori didn't listen to Ran. Instead, he glared at Wen Shui and said, "You brat, how could you let Ran do such a dangerous thing? What do you take her for?"

Because the rope was mainly held by Numi, Kogoro Mouri assumed that Numi had sent Ran to rescue her.

Before Wen Shui could even speak, Xiao Lan interrupted, "Dad, I jumped down by myself. Wen Shui tried to stop me but couldn't."

He shrugged, showing lukewarm water.

“Yes, Uncle, Wen Shui and I didn’t react at the time,” Suzuki Sonoko explained, then turned to complain to Ran, “Ran, you too, doing something so dangerous, you scared the soul out of me.”

Xiaolan said with a straight face, "I remember someone cheering on the deck just now."

Wen Shui: "I saw it too, it looked like a woman with brown hair."

Sonoko Suzuki scratched her head: "Hehehe, I didn't realize it at the time. After I realized it, I was terrified. If you don't believe me, touch my heart. It's still beating very fast."

Sonoko Suzuki ran over and hugged Ran's arm, playfully asking Ran to check her heartbeat.

Their antics eased the tension on deck considerably.

At that moment, a voice called out from below the yacht: "Mr. Mori, I am the son of the owner of this ship. Could you please throw down the rope ladder again? I need to go up and check the condition of the yacht..."

Conan ran over and saw that it was the hotel owner's son standing below.

To his surprise, the ship was also owned by the other party. This guy, who didn't seem to talk much, was actually a rich young master.

Conan looked around and found that the suspicious fat man had disappeared.

Worried about being attacked by sharks? Or worried about their identities being exposed?

Generally speaking, the safest option in this situation in deep water is to ask the people on the yacht for help rather than riding a motorboat back to shore yourself.

Conan's suspicions about Terabayashi Shoji have grown even stronger than before.

.

After Kyogoku Makoto boarded the ship.

Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? Aren't you the innkeeper?"

Makoto Kyogoku nodded: "Mr. Mori, that hotel belongs to my family, and so does this ship."

"Oh, I see. That explains why you looked so familiar earlier," Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed in realization.

Kyogoku Makoto glanced at Sonoko and said in a deep voice, "From now on, let me protect you. If any guests have an accident on our boat, it will affect our boat rental business."

Sonoko Suzuki: "It's okay, buddy. We have a superwoman here who can knock a shark away with one punch."

"Yuanzi, don't talk nonsense." Xiaolan gave her an embarrassed elbow.

Makoto Kyogoku gave Nuku a deep look and shook his head: "I really can't trust a guest who can catch a shark."

Everyone looked a little embarrassed, since everyone present knew that it was Professor Agasa's invention.

Makoto Kyogoku then turned his gaze to Ran: "You must be Ran Mouri, right? I've seen your karate match before."

"You know me?" Ran asked in surprise, then looked at Kyogoku Makoto's dark skin, as if she remembered something, her eyes widening, "You, you're that national champion..."

"Hey, could you get me a towel first?" Masahiko Michiwaki's dying voice interrupted the conversation.

Only then did everyone turn their attention to Masahiko Michiwaki, who was lying on the deck.

Compared to Ran, Masahiko Michiwaki is in a much worse state.

Besides being soaked to the bone, his terrified appearance made him look even more disheveled. The seawater, diluted with shark blood, had a faint salty smell, which became even more pungent after being exposed to the sun.

Of course, it could also be caused by Masahiko Michiwaki's excrement.

"I'll go get a towel." Xiaolan went straight into the cabin.

Makoto Kyogoku and Kogoro Mori helped Masahiko Michiwaki up and sat him on the fishing stool.

Wenshui noticed that everyone's attention was focused on Michiwaki Masahiko, so she turned around and followed Ran into the cabin.

Although it's called a yacht, it's not actually that big; you can walk a few steps to the bathroom inside the cabin.

In the bathroom, Xiaolan was standing on tiptoe, reaching for a large towel on the overhead cabinet.

The girl's slender figure was on full display in this situation, her thin and white legs were stretched straight, and her pert buttocks, wrapped in denim hot pants, were very alluring.

As she rummaged through the towels, the excess flesh on Xiaolan's body swayed gently, creating mesmerizing waves.

It's hard to imagine that this is a girl who can make a shark cry with a single punch.

However, when Wen Shui recalled Xiao Lan's reckless behavior, she felt both fear and anger.

He walked over and slapped Xiaolan's pert buttocks hard.

"ah"

A captivating wave of flesh rolled and rippled.

Xiao Lan blushed, put her hands behind her back, bit her thin lips, and glared at Wen Shui: "What...what are you doing?"

"What do you think?" Wen Shui said coldly. "How could you take such a dangerous action without authorization? What if something happens? Where did you put our detective team's agreement?"

"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong," the girl apologized in a low voice.

Wen Shui's expression remained unchanged, and she snorted coldly: "Then what are you all standing there for? Turn around!"

"Huh? What are you going to do?" Xiaolan couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

Warm Water: "Of course, it's to teach you a lesson, so you won't do something so dangerous again next time."

Xiaolan naturally didn't want to be punished by Wenshui in this way. However, Wenshui's concern did indeed make Xiaolan feel a warmth that she rarely received from outsiders. In addition, she knew that her behavior just now was somewhat risky, and she felt a little guilty.

So Xiaolan blushed, bit her lip lightly, and asked softly, "Um... can we... can we call again tonight?"
