Although she had changed her clothes and hairstyle, and looked much more disheveled than yesterday, Yukiko Kudo quickly realized that the man in front of her was the bastard who attacked her yesterday!

However, what Mrs. Kudo couldn't understand was why this bastard hadn't been arrested.

Wen Shui and Shu said they would leave everything to him, so how could the criminals have escaped?

Although she couldn't understand why the criminal was still at large, Yukiko Kudo knew the detectives' temperaments very well.

Because she not only has an old classmate who runs a detective agency, but also a son who is a detective, and recently she met her son's detective classmate.

It felt like I'd stumbled into a detective's den.

In short, based on Yukiko Kudo's understanding of detectives...

The reason why Wen Shui and Shu did not choose to arrest this criminal must be to investigate the truth of the matter, or to use this person as bait to lure out the big boss behind the scenes.

Given the current situation, it's estimated that this guy won't be able to complete the Wen Shui mission, and with this happening, her night raid plan probably can't continue either.

Yukiko Kudo sighed and took out her phone to call Kazuki Nukumi.

.

Let's shift our focus back to the warm water.

When he confidently stated, "It's just wearing clothes, it's no big deal," he naturally faced a barrage of criticism from the girls.

Sonoko Suzuki, standing on the side of her best friend, strongly condemned Nukami's impolite behavior.

Although Xiaolan was a little embarrassed, she also showed strong indignation, saying that he should at least have explained it in advance, and also mentioned that the clothes were originally intended to be washed.

Under pressure from public opinion, Wen Shui had no choice but to sincerely admit his mistake and then take off his clothes and return them to Xiao Lan in front of everyone.

He also showed off his well-defined muscles.

Just as he was about to wash the paint off his face.

Wen Shui suddenly noticed that Ran, Sonoko, and Conan were all looking at him with strange expressions.

"What's wrong? Is there something on me?"

Sonoko Suzuki looked at Nuku's muscles with surprise, poking his abs with her fingertip, and turned to Ran, saying, "Nuku's physique seems to be much better than before."

"It seems so," Xiaolan said in surprise. "It's only been a few months, and he's already almost as good as a male model in a print magazine."

Wen Shui scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Because I often do high-intensity training. A detective can't do without a healthy body."

The two women nodded thoughtfully, seemingly without any doubt.

However, Numizu noticed that although Sonoko Suzuki seemed to no longer care about the matter, she was actually secretly observing his abs, with an expression like that of someone who had been dieting for a week and suddenly saw a cake.

Xiao Lan was relatively reserved, but she did lick her lips slightly.

It seems that girls also have aspirations towards the opposite sex.

Wen Shui's body proportions were already quite good, and with the addition of using the system's vocabulary to build muscle every day recently, her overall demeanor has changed significantly.

This can be glimpsed from the increasing number of love letters in his shoe cabinet recently.

But speaking of which, what does Conan's look mean?

Could it be that after being defeated by me repeatedly, this kid's mind has become twisted and he's developed strange thoughts about me? Wen Shui was startled, and then subconsciously moved a little further away from Conan.

Wen Shui had no idea that Conan was simply being sentimental. He was originally a star athlete at Teitan High School, while Wen Shui was a reclusive otaku who couldn't even run 1000 meters.

But unexpectedly, just a few months later...

Wen Shui's body gradually returned to its previous state, while his body reverted to that of a child, and it was unclear when it would revert back.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

.

After instructing Xiaolan and the others to close the doors and windows, I went back to my room and washed my face with warm water.

After changing into clean clothes, he returned to Sonoko Suzuki's room and saw Tooru Amuro and Makoto Kyogoku standing there with furrowed brows, apparently having been called over by Ran and the others.

However, what worries Wen Shui is...

So much time has passed, and Michiwaki Masahiko still hasn't arrived like in the original story.

Could that guy be too scared to come?

After Wenshui entered the room, Makoto Kyogoku took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Wenshui, did you see the murderer's face?"

“It was too dark at the time, I couldn’t see his face.” Wen Shui shook her head, looking guilty. “It’s all my fault, I should have been more proactive.”

“How can you blame yourself? If it weren’t for protecting me from getting hurt, you would have definitely caught that thug.” Sonoko Suzuki immediately stepped forward to explain on his behalf.

This warmed Wen Shui's heart.

Makoto Kyogoku pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, on my way back just now, I saw a suspicious person running from the direction of the hotel toward the city."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the room changed slightly.

"Did Kyogoku-nii go out just now?" Conan asked curiously.

“Yes, I just got back from outside when I heard about Ms. Suzuki being attacked by thugs,” Makoto Kyogoku said.

"Huh? But it's raining outside, so most of the guests will be staying at the hotel. It should be very busy, right?" Conan deliberately feigned an expression of sudden realization. "I know, Kyogoku-nii went on a date with his girlfriend, right?"

Makoto Kyogoku's expression remained unchanged: "No, that's not true. I just went to the shopping street to buy fruit to give to the guests as complimentary dishes."

"I see." Conan nodded thoughtfully. "Then, Kyoto-nii, was the person you saw very fat? Did he look a bit like the uncle who rode a motorcycle next to our yacht during the day?"

Makoto Kyogoku thought for a moment and nodded: "It does look somewhat like him, little brother. Do you think that person from earlier in the day was suspicious?"

Just as Conan was about to speak, he suddenly noticed Amuro Tooru looking at him with a curious gaze.

Conan was startled!

Oh no, I've accidentally overdone it.

Damn it, it's all that Wen Shui's fault for wearing Xiao Lan's clothes randomly, which made him a little unstable.

Conan had always felt that this dark-skinned working-class man, Amuro Tooru, was not as simple as he seemed.

This person could easily find a stable job based on their own abilities, but they claim to enjoy a free lifestyle and take on part-time jobs everywhere.

Do such people really exist in the world?

Although Amuro Tooru's identity seems flawless, Conan's sixth sense tells him that this man may not be as simple as he appears.

Just to be on the safe side, Conan resorted to his tried-and-true method, sticking out his tongue in an attempt to get away with it cute:

"Actually, I heard it from Uncle Mori. When Uncle Mori went to the bathroom, he muttered that the fat uncle also showed up at the fireworks festival last night. It seems like too much of a coincidence."

"Did Dad say that?" Xiaolan tilted her head in confusion.

Amuro Tooru suddenly said with admiration, "As expected of Mr. Mori, he already has a deduction. I guess he will find the murderer soon."

Everyone else, except for Wen Shui and Conan, nodded in agreement.

After all, the title "Sleeping Kogoro" is quite convincing thanks to the deliberate hype from the media. In the eyes of outsiders, although Kogoro Mouri is usually a bit unkempt, he is quite reliable when it comes to solving cases.

However, Uncle Mori drank quite a bit of alcohol in the afternoon and hasn't sobered up yet.

There's no way to talk to him about the case now.

This resulted in everyone focusing their attention on the suspicious man, but no one really knew much about him, especially since it was raining outside.

So the group discussed it and decided not to leave the hotel that night.

Let's investigate again tomorrow during the day.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Ran decided to switch rooms with Sonoko to prevent the murderer from attacking Sonoko again, and also to avoid the "punishment" of warm water.

Just as everyone was helping to move the bedding and suitcases, Wen Shui's phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from Yukiko Kudo.

Wen Shui handed the things she was carrying to Yuanzi and went to the end of the second-floor corridor: "Hey? What's wrong?"

Yukiko Kudo said in an unfriendly tone, "You bastard, didn't you say yesterday that you would take care of things? Why did I still run into that thug?"

Wen Shui was startled.

Because during the attack last night, Yukiko Kudo disguised herself as Ai Haibara.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Masahiko Michiwaki should not recognize Yukiko Kudo.

However, since she called and sounded somewhat anxious, she probably bumped into Masahiko Michiwaki.

"Where are you now? Are you alright?" Wen Shui asked in return, as he was now a little worried about Kudo Yukiko's safety.

Yukiko Kudo's voice softened slightly on the other end of the phone, but she still said irritably, "I'm fine, but I knocked that bastard out. What am I supposed to do now?"

Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a headache.

How are we going to handle this?

If Masahiko Michiwaki were to have a direct confrontation with Yukiko Kudo and be knocked unconscious, he probably wouldn't extend a date invitation to Sonoko Suzuki again.

The original storyline could not continue.

Never mind, let's go take a look first.

If all else fails, just send Masahiko Michiwaki directly to the police station to close the case.

Although there is currently insufficient evidence to necessarily lead to a confession from Masahiko Michiwaki, his crime of assaulting Yukiko Kudo should be enough to warrant a period of imprisonment.

If all else fails, we'll have to ask the local police station to use some special methods.

Wenshui then went to Sonoko's room: "I have something to do and need to go out first, so I won't be able to eat with you. Oh, and keep an eye on Conan so he doesn't run around."

After saying that, Wen Shui put on her coat, picked up her umbrella, and went downstairs.

Conan, who was about to secretly follow Wen Shui, couldn't help but curse Wen Shui in his heart.

However, just as Wen Shui reached the hotel entrance and stood under the eaves, hesitating whether to run over or wait for a taxi.

Ran and Sonoko also changed into long-sleeved jackets and came out.

“We’ll go with you.” Sonoko Suzuki said firmly. “You, don’t forget we’re the Suzuran Detective Club. Don’t always try to leave me and Ran behind.”

Xiaolan crossed her arms and couldn't help but tease, "That's right, Wen Shui-jun, going out alone will get you a spanking, you know."

Sonoko Suzuki paused for a moment: "Huh? Does our detective club have such a rule?"

"I was just kidding." Xiaolan blushed and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Wenshui, where are you going?"
