Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Looking at the two people with their resolute attitudes, Wen Shui couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

He thought that if the two of them went, they would solve the case on the spot. Although he hadn't figured out how to end things later, it wouldn't be bad to increase the research progress if he could find a way to continue the original plot.

Judging from Ran and Sonoko's attitudes, it's unlikely that trying to persuade them in a conventional way will be of any use.

Since that's the case, we can only try to defeat them one by one.

Wen Shui first walked up to Suzuki Sonoko and said softly, "You know that the other party's target is you, right? It's too dangerous to go out now, so let's stay at the hotel."

Sonoko Suzuki: "But..."

"Don't you trust me?" Wen Shui grabbed Suzuki Sonoko's shoulder and applied a little force. "Listen to me, let's go back and check if anything is missing. Maybe we can figure out why they were able to sneak in."

The warm water made Sonoko feel a sense of security she had never felt before.

In particular, the way Wen Shui couldn't help but scold her because she was worried about her safety melted Sonoko's heart.

Sonoko Suzuki felt dizzy, and the image of Onami's well-defined abs flashed through her mind...

"Okay, alright, then let Ran go with you. You, you be careful..." Suzuki Sonoko blushed and turned to run upstairs.

After calming down the garden, Wen Shui turned her attention to Xiao Lan.

Xiaolan snorted coldly: "I don't need your protection. If we really encounter bad guys, I can fight them much better than you. I'm going to catch the bastard who hurt Sonoko with my own hands."

Ran becomes exceptionally motivated whenever something happens to Sonoko Suzuki.

However, Wen Shui had already devised a plan to persuade Xiao Lan.

He first closed the hotel door, then whispered in Xiaolan's ear, "Does your butt still hurt?"

"Huh?" Xiaolan's eyes widened, then she glanced in panic towards the hotel entrance. "W-what are you talking about?"

Wen Shui smiled gently, inhaling the scent of perfume near the girl's ear: "If you behave, tonight's punishment will be forgiven; otherwise..."

Taking advantage of Xiaolan's momentary panic, his hand had already slipped behind the girl.

Then I gently pinched her delicate, perky buttocks.

Xiaolan bit her lip and remained silent.

Seeing this, Wen Shui deliberately feigned an expression of sudden realization: "I get it, so Xiao Lan really wants to be punished by me? Do you like being beaten...?"

"No, no, that's not true," Xiaolan couldn't help but retort.

Although the blow she received on the boat left Xiaolan with a tingling and numb feeling in her left thigh all afternoon, it was probably just a normal bodily reaction.

It's definitely not what that bastard said about liking to be punished.

Xiao Lan slapped Wen Shui's hand away and glared at him angrily, "Hmph, I'm not going to bother with you anymore, I'm going back to Yuanzi."

Xiaolan reopened the wooden sliding door of the hotel, then suddenly stopped, took a bundle of hemp rope from her pocket, and handed it to Wenshui:

"Here, take this. You might find it useful."

"Oh well."

Xiaolan closed the door, and the sound of her footsteps gradually faded away.

Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally dealt with these two troublesome guys.

Although she missed the chance to deepen her relationship with Ran, Wen Shui never intended to do anything excessive to Ran in this way, so it didn't really matter.

Wait a minute?

Wen Shui suddenly realized that the bundle of rope Xiao Lan had given him looked familiar.

He examined it carefully and found that the rope was the same one that had been used to tie up Yukiko Kudo and later used by Ran to restrain him in the warehouse.

Did Xiaolan keep this rope all this time?

Warm water remained silent for a moment.

At the same time, a bold idea suddenly popped into my head.

Or should we let Mrs. Kudo, who disrupted his plans, take the blame for Ran's anger?

Chapter 112 A Love Triangle Will Occur When Mrs. Kudo Calls Me "Husband"

Because she didn't want to involve more people in the incident, Wen Shui ultimately decided against taking a taxi.

Instead, he jogged all the way to the address that Yukiko Kudo had sent him.

Fortunately, the Wataru Hotel was not far from the scene of the incident, and Atsushi's stamina was much better than Michiwaki Masahiko's, so they arrived at the scene in less than five minutes.

This is the back alley of a twenty-story office building. The alley is piled with all kinds of construction waste that have not yet been dealt with. Stray cats are hiding in cardboard boxes to avoid the rain. When they see Wen Shui coming in, they cast wary glances at him.

Wenshui saw Kudo Yukiko standing by the wall with an umbrella.

But he didn't see Masahiko Michiwaki. Strange, could he have run away?

"Where is the man who attacked you?" Wen Shui asked hurriedly as she walked over.

Yukiko Kudo pointed to a large cardboard box next to her, then used her toe to pry open the top layer of cardboard: "Here it is."

Wen Shui's expression changed slightly: "You...you killed him?"

"How could that be, you brat!" Mrs. Kudo punched him in annoyance. "He just passed out. Now you should give me a reasonable explanation, shouldn't you? Why hasn't he been arrested yet?"

Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief and then explained the general outline of the matter to Kudo Yukiko.

Of course, he skipped over some details, only saying that he suspected the guy was a serial killer, but because there wasn't enough evidence to frame him, he had been tracking him recently. Then he asked Yukiko Kudo to help with the cleanup.

"What? I have to deal with this guy for you?"

Yukiko Kudo looked completely incredulous.

“We can’t leave him alone. Sending him to the police station now won’t get him convicted. He’ll be released in a few months, and then it’ll be even harder to catch him again.” Wen Shui shrugged. “If he quits his life of crime, maybe those victims who died last year will have died in vain.”

Yukiko Kudo looked hesitant.

Wen Shui continued to coax and persuade, "It won't be very troublesome, and it'll be a lot of fun. Once you hear that, you'll definitely be eager to join my plan."

Yukiko Kudo's appetite was piqued, and she sighed, "Tell me your plan first."

Wen Shui was secretly delighted and whispered, "We'll pretend to be members of a transnational criminal organization..."

In fact, the opportunity for Wen Shui was quite simple: he could pretend to be a transnational criminal organization like Gin and Vodka, then have Michiwaki Masahiko "accidentally" overhear their conversation, and then deliberately create a loophole for them to escape.

Masahiko Michiwaki himself has a questionable past, so it's impossible for him to choose to call the police.

Their disguised identities would also lower Michiwaki Masahiko's guard, at least he wouldn't have to worry about his murders being exposed.

When Wen Shui revealed the entire plan, he noticed that Yukiko Kudo's expression had become eager to try it out.

"By the way, do you have any clothes that can make me look like a bad guy?" Wen Shui asked.

Yukiko Kudo thought for a moment: "It seems like there's an outfit that Yusaku wore when he impersonated the Dark Baron last time."

“Alright, if your body size is about right, you should be able to fit into it.” Wen Shui nodded. “You also have that thing that can mimic other people’s speech, right? It’s the one you used to kidnap Conan last time.”

"Yes, they're all in the suitcase at the hotel. I came prepared this time."

Yukiko Kudo laughed excitedly, like a little girl seeing her favorite toy.

Since Masahiko Michiwaki was, after all, a criminal, Nukumi chose to stay and guard him. Yukiko Kudo even gave Nukumi her anti-wolf device, saying that if Masahiko Michiwaki woke up, she should use it to sober him up.

Less than twenty minutes later.

An inconspicuous car was parked at the entrance of the alley, blocking the view of the street behind it.

Yukiko Kudo opened the car door and jogged over, her high heels creating ripples in the rain, her fair and slender ankles appearing and disappearing in the night.

Looking at her flushed face, which was flushed with excitement, anyone who didn't know the inside story would definitely think that this lady had run out late at night to meet her lover.

"How is he? Has he woken up?" Yukiko Kudo asked.

Wen Shui shook her head: "No, by the way, how many watts is your stun gun? Logically speaking, he should have woken up by now after all this time."

“I don’t know, it’s new…” Yukiko Kudo paused for a moment, “Uh, it’s new that I bought from Professor Agasa.”

Warm water remained silent for a moment.

He suddenly became a little worried that this thing might explode.

Although Michiwaki Masahiko hadn't woken up yet, his physical condition wasn't a big problem. Wen Shui took out the rope that Xiao Lan had given him, intending to tie up Michiwaki Masahiko and throw him into the trunk.

"Huh, you even brought a rope?" Yukiko exclaimed in surprise.

"I got it from the hotel."

Wen Shui's expression remained unchanged, but she couldn't help but secretly think to herself, "You probably never imagined that this rope was the same one that bound you back then."

"This... isn't this the same thing that tied me up last time?" Yukiko Kudo suddenly exclaimed.

Wen Shui was also surprised: "How did you recognize me?"

“There are my teeth marks on this.” Yukiko Kudo grabbed one end of the rope. “I bit him when I was trapped in the car, but unfortunately I couldn’t get out.”

Upon closer inspection, Wen Shui indeed saw a very obvious gap on it.

Looking up again, he saw Yukiko Kudo staring at him with an unfriendly expression: "What are you planning to do by keeping this rope with you all this time?"

Wen Shui cried out that she was wronged, thinking to herself that she should probably ask Xiao Lan about it.

However, it wouldn't be good to reveal Ran's identity at this time, as it could easily bring up the embarrassing incident of being trapped in the Teitan warehouse.

Wen Shui, having given up all pretense, said with a straight face, "Of course I want to teach you a lesson. If I'm not mistaken, you came out so late and took this route to Wawu Hotel, you must be planning to play a trick on me, right?"

Kudo Yukiko's imposing aura immediately diminished by three points.

However, she quickly realized that she now seemed to be in control.

Yukiko Kudo puffed out her chest and snorted coldly, "So what if I am? Shouldn't I retaliate for what you did to me that night?"

Wen Shui: "Then why didn't you fight back then?"

Mrs. Kudo was speechless.

She definitely couldn't say that she was captivated by Wen Shui's aura and bold actions back then.

Not to mention, when she thought about how she had inexplicably had the idea of ​​responding to this kid, Yukiko Kudo suddenly felt her cheeks burning.

She snatched the rope from Wen Shui's hand: "I just bought a rope on the way, I'm not taking this from you."

"Huh?"
