Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Chapter 109 I became a powerless husband?

When Wen Shui was looked at by Xiao Lan with pitiful, puppy-like eyes, most of the nameless anger in her heart dissipated instantly.

But what does she mean by calling again tonight?

Xiao Lan's suggestion made Wen Shui recall the series of unsettling events that had occurred in Xiao Lan's room the previous night.

If I agree to her request, I might get to have some close contact with Misaki-chan again tonight. Not to mention, the bounce I felt when I hit Ran earlier is still lingering in my mind.

But is this really a good idea?

Wen Shui felt that it was a bit immoral to force the girl to compromise in this way.

After all, he was angry just now because he was worried about Xiaolan's safety. He felt that Xiaolan rushed up to do such a dangerous thing without saying a word, which made him feel like she didn't treat him as a partner.

Just as Wen Shui was about to shake her head and refuse.

Xiaolan noticed that he hadn't spoken for a while, so she couldn't help but gently tug at his sleeve and whisper, "I came to get a towel. If I don't go out, Yuanzi and Dad will definitely come looking for me, and that will be troublesome."

Xiaolan's pitiful, pleading gaze made Wen Shui imagine Xiaolan lying on the tatami mat, biting a pillow as he punished her.

Wen Shui's nameless anger flared up again.

However, this time it's evil fire.

Two thoughts were locked in a fierce internal struggle within his mind.

On one hand, you think that since it was Xiaolan who brought it up, and what she did to you in the warehouse before, it already shows what the girl was thinking deep down, and you just accelerated the process.

Another thought came to mind: the memory of Xiaolan pulling him into forming the detective team. If he were to use this genuine friendship between companions to accelerate the development of their relationship, Wen Shui felt somewhat unable to accept it.

Even if Xiaolan is to be punished, it should be done with a legitimate reason that makes the girl submit willingly.

Just then, Conan's voice came from the cabin entrance, and his footsteps sounded somewhat hurried.

"Sister Xiaolan! Why are you so slow?!"

Xiaolan quickly let go of the warm water in her hand, turned around and took out several towels from the cabinet to cover her embarrassment and shyness.

Wen Shui pulled open the bottom cabinet, took out a small first-aid kit, and handed it to Xiao Lan, trying to cover up the evil thought that had just popped into her mind.

Soon, Conan ran to the door, panting, and glanced back and forth between the two with a suspicious look.

Conan was so focused on finding the suspicious man that when he turned around, he found that Ran and Wenshui were gone.

This reminds me of Xiaolan's glorious feat of jumping down and chasing away the shark.

The two of them might start arguing about this, and in movies, arguments like this often escalate into the male lead pinning the female lead against the wall.

Finally, a passionate kiss resolved the conflict...

Because his body shrunk, Conan was forced to watch a lot of romance movies with Kogoro Mouri, and he couldn't help but think about the worst-case scenario.

However, judging from the current situation, he was overthinking it.

There is indeed a difference between movies and reality. Xiaolan's lips were clean, and there were no signs of an argument on their clothes.

It seemed that no intimate contact had occurred beyond that between ordinary friends, and Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ran folded several towels together and hugged them to her chest, then looked towards the door somewhat guiltily and asked, "Hey, Conan? What's wrong? Is the person who fell into the water in critical condition?"

Conan: "No, Uncle Mori sent me to check on you. Why are you so slow?"

"I'm not very familiar with this area, and it took me a while to find the towel and first-aid kit," Xiaolan said, picking up the first-aid kit that she had helped find.

Wen Shui also helped Xiao Lan change the subject: "By the way, did you see anyone suspicious just now, you little rascal?"

This sentence instantly switched Conan's "love-struck" mindset to his "detective's mindset," and he scratched his head furtively, "Suspicious person? I don't think so..."

Xiao Lan took the opportunity to slip between the two men while holding a towel.

After walking a few steps, Xiaolan secretly mouthed to Wenshui, "Don't tell anyone what happened tonight."

Wen Shui couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

I wondered why they were offering themselves up so readily. Did they have a taste of pleasure last night?

It took me a lot of effort to make up my mind.

Well, if things go according to the original story, Masahiko Michiwaki will probably sneak into Sonoko Suzuki's room to steal something, and he might even bump into Sonoko in her room.

After this incident, Xiaolan probably lost interest in thinking about any punishment.

However, he needs to prepare properly so that Sonoko doesn't actually get hurt by Michiwaki Masahiko.

Wen Shui pondered how to scare Michiwaki Masahiko.

.

Wenshui then returned to the deck and found that Michiwaki Masahiko was using a towel that Ran had brought to wipe the seawater off his body.

But actually, he had been drying on the deck for so long that he was almost completely sunburnt.

The reason Michiwaki Masahiko spoke up earlier was mainly because he felt a little embarrassed by being ignored by this group.

Now that he's calmed down, Masahiko Michiwaki has started to put on an act, actively trying to get closer to Ran and the others by expressing his gratitude for being saved.

Unfortunately, Ran's mind was filled with thoughts of being punished by Wen Shui, how many times she would be hit by Wen Shui that night, and whether not inviting Sonoko meant betraying her friend...

He had no interest in listening to what Masahiko Michiwaki had to say.

Makoto Kyogoku didn't reveal his suspicions about Masahiko Michiwaki either, because there was no evidence, and Michiwaki was now a victim who had narrowly escaped death.

Such speculation, if voiced, would only alert the enemy and serve no other purpose.

However, Makoto Kyogoku had already made up his mind. When he got back, he would tell his father to find someone else to help out at the shop, so that he would have time to keep an eye on Masahiko Michiwaki.

He actually killed innocent women one after another near the hotel he owned.

Kyogoku Makoto gave Michiwaki Masahiko a cold look; he would never forgive such a bastard.

This is because a shark attack on humans occurred here, even though the shark was "accidentally" caught by someone.

However, in accordance with regulations, this sea area was still sealed off and investigated by relevant departments, and even swimming in the nearshore area was temporarily prohibited.

Tourists were all crowded on the beach sunbathing.

Or you could change your plans and visit tourist attractions in the city center.

However, local officials did not announce the shark sighting in order not to affect the number of tourists visiting the area, and instead planned to wait until they had thoroughly investigated and assessed the risks before making any announcements.

Wen Shui and the others were naturally instructed not to reveal this matter.

The good news was that Makoto Kyogoku waived the cost of the yacht trip and even said that after the sharks left, they could take the yacht out to sea for free to go fishing again. This made Sonoko's impression of this quiet guy much better.

Overall, despite the numerous mishaps during this sea voyage, Wen Shui and the two girls were in pretty good spirits.

Apart from the unfortunate Masahiko Michiwaki.

The most unhappy ones are probably Conan and Kogoro Mouri.

Conan tried his best but couldn't stop his childhood friend from being used as a pillow by someone else. Although it was due to circumstances, Conan always felt that Wen Shui did it on purpose later.

But without evidence, there's no way to retaliate. Conan decides to go back to Professor Agasa and ask him to develop a wristwatch-shaped camera so he can more easily film the rude behavior of Numizu and Kazuki towards Ran.

With evidence, the "big brother" Shinichi Kudo can then give Ran a moral lesson.

There's no evidence right now. Even if he calls Ran to question her as Shinichi Kudo, it probably won't have any effect. Ran might even use the excuse of him being a traitor to give him a good scolding.

On the other hand, Kogoro Mouri's reason for being unhappy was quite simple.

That was the fishing rod he bought with a lot of money, wanting to show off his fishing skills, but he was unexpectedly humiliated by that cheating brat, Wen Shui and Shu.

In addition, there were the fish that Uncle Mori caught before the incident.

During the subsequent rescue, someone kicked over the bucket containing the fish, causing the fish to fall onto the deck, where they were then pinned down by Masahiko Michiwaki.

Uncle Mori originally intended to pick up those fish and have the hotel owner cook them when he got back.

After all, it was fished with great effort. Even though the fish wasn't very big, it was the feeling of eating it that mattered.

However, after Sonoko secretly told Uncle Mori that Masahiko Michiwaki had been so scared by the sharks that he wet himself, Uncle Mori had no choice but to reluctantly throw the shark carcasses back into the sea.

"Damn it, you ruined my vacation!" Kogoro Mouri glared at Nuku Shui with displeasure.

Wen Shui laughed and said, "You can't blame me entirely. I didn't expect Professor Agasa's fishing rod to be so unreliable. I'm a victim too. I released all my fish back into the sea."

Kogoro Mouri crossed his arms: "Seriously, didn't you say you tested it before and were able to catch a shark..."

Xiaolan quickly covered her father's mouth to stop him from continuing: "No, if the secret is leaked, the shops around here will lose all their business."

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's brooding expression, and not wanting to put Ran in such a difficult position, Wen Shui couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle, I can go out to sea with you again tomorrow. This time I'll have a competition with you using a regular fishing rod. How about that?"

Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up.

This kid doesn't know how to fish at all. If you use a regular fishing rod, he'll definitely beat you to a pulp.

Kogoro Mouri cleared his throat: "Ahem, it's a deal then, but you have to drink with me tonight."

"Huh?" Wen Shui was surprised.

Xiao Lan also looked surprised and shook her father's arm: "Dad, Wen Shui is not old enough to drink alcohol yet."

Kogoro Mouri: "It's not like he's never had a drink before. When Yukiko came back last time, your mother even had a couple of drinks with him."

Xiao Lan suddenly remembered what happened that night. It was on that night that Xiao Lan first overheard Wen Shui expressing his feelings for her.

Thinking of this, Xiaolan couldn't help but recall her promise to Wen Shui.

Last time, he subtly expressed his feelings for her while drinking with warm water. Will he do something even more outrageous this time?

"Ran-neechan, what's wrong?" Conan asked curiously.

Ran snapped back to her senses and said firmly, "No, that's not allowed. Last time, it was Shinichi's mother who caused the whole mess. Wen Shui is a celebrity now. If someone takes a picture of her drinking, she might get into trouble."

Uncle Mori and Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing next to him, both fell into deep thought, and then suddenly realized that they agreed with Ran's statement.

Conan and Wen Shui both wore speechless expressions.

So, in everyone's eyes, Yukiko Kudo is actually the kind of person who would cause a lot of trouble?

However, only Wen Shui knows what happened last night, but in terms of severity, it is probably several times more serious than the shark attack just now.

Thinking of Mrs. Kudo's unreliable personality, Wen Shui couldn't help but worry that she might cause trouble tonight.
