Wen Shui never expected things to develop this way.

Yukiko Kudo glared at him: "What? Are you keeping this thing so you can do something dirty in secret?"

Wen Shui retorted, "Please don't slander me. Besides, who would treasure something like this? At the very least, it would be..."

"I...how would I know? Okay, hurry up and tie him up." Kudo Yukiko interrupted Wen Shui, then turned around and went back to the car to get the rope. She tossed it to Wen Shui and then sat in the passenger seat, waiting patiently.

She gave the warm water because it was too cold outside.

But actually, Yukiko Kudo was trying to cover up the faint blush on her cheeks.

The fact that he's kept that rope all this time and even brought it out for her to see makes me wonder if he's really having some ulterior motives towards her.

Mrs. Kudo couldn't help but imagine it.

Once this idea came to mind, Wen Shui's behavior at the hotel became more reasonable.

That was definitely not a punishment; this kid wanted to plant a seed in her heart and gradually carry out his evil plan.

Yukiko Kudo suddenly felt a sense of fear, and she suddenly regretted her trip to Izu.

.

They tied up Masahiko Michiwaki and threw him into the trunk.

Wen Shui drove to Kudo Yukiko's hotel and disguised himself appropriately in the room. Because he was wearing the Dark Baron's mask, he didn't need to worry about the details of his face.

Ten minutes later, the two returned to the car and moved Masahiko Michiwaki from the trunk to the back seat.

Then they drove the rented car along the small road toward a nearby deserted port.

As soon as the car left the bustling city center, Yukiko Kudo, sitting in the passenger seat, secretly gave Awami a wink, signaling that the person in the back seat had woken up.

Wen Shui adjusted the mask on her face and focused on driving.

Meanwhile, Yukiko Kudo had already begun her performance according to the agreed plan: "You really are something, letting me handle that corpse by myself. If I hadn't reacted quickly, your mother would have been killed by the robbers."

Wen Shui was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, "These lines are different from what we agreed on before?"

When did you become my mother?

Wasn't it agreed that, just like when Conan was kidnapped last time, she would play a mid-level executive in the criminal organization, while Wen Shui herself would play a high-ranking figure in the organization?

Through the reflection in the rearview mirror, Wen Shui saw a sly smile on Kudo Yukiko's lips.

This woman must have done it on purpose, trying to punish him in this way.

Wen Shui scoffed inwardly. Trying to make me suffer this way? Absolutely not!

He grabbed Yukiko Kudo's soft little hand and gently rubbed it on his knee: "Okay, darling, I know I was wrong, but didn't I tell you before that we can only use those kinds of names when we're in bed?"

After all, we're in a business where we risk our lives.

When we're out together, you'd better call me by my code name, otherwise people will think we're unprofessional.

This time, it was Yukiko Kudo who was stunned.

It took her several seconds to understand the meaning behind Wen Shui's words, and she turned to glare at Wen Shui angrily.

Seeing this, Wen Shui sighed and compromised, saying, "Fine, if you don't like calling me by my code name, just call me husband like you normally do."

"Husband?" Yukiko Kudo's mouth opened slightly.

"Mmm, good girl. I'll reward you with a big meal when we get home tonight." Wen Shui patted her delicate and soft hand.

Yukiko Kudo's beautiful eyes burned with anger, but considering that this would probably ruin her prank that she had been busy with all day, she knew to swallow her anger for the time being and called out the temporary code name of the warm water, Uzo.

.

When Masahiko Michiwaki woke up in a daze, he found himself tied up and lying on the back seat of a car.

He instinctively thought he had been arrested by the police.

However, the conversation between the man and woman in the car that followed startled Masahiko Michiwaki so much that he almost jumped out of his seat.

What happened? How did I get arrested by a transnational criminal organization?

Soon, memories began to flash through Masahiko Michiwaki's mind like a slideshow.

Oh, by the way, when he was running away earlier, he encountered a pretty woman. He rushed at her with a knife, but she knocked him unconscious with a self-defense device.

That seems to be the process.

Michiwaki Masahiko tried his best not to move and alert the other party, secretly observing the two people in front of him through the reflection of the raindrops on the car window, while looking for an opportunity to escape.

The woman sitting in the passenger seat wore large sunglasses and had very fair skin; even her loose trench coat couldn't hide her voluptuous figure.

Although Michiwaki Masahiko hadn't been able to remember the woman's face because of the dim lighting in the alley, he still recognized the woman in the passenger seat by her voice and build as the same woman he had attacked earlier.

Strange, how could such a beautiful woman be a member of a criminal organization?

Michiwaki Masahiko then turned his gaze to the man driving the car.

This man looked more like the kind of person he imagined a transnational crime syndicate leader to be, from his strange suit to the white mask on his face and the top hat on his head.

All of this fully demonstrates that this person is different from ordinary criminals; he is the kind of ruthless character who can maintain elegance even when killing.

Moreover, based on the content of their conversation, the two should be a married couple.

Moreover, this man is a pervert who likes to call his wife "Mom" in private.

This further aligns with Masahiko Michiwaki's stereotypical image of a psychopathic killer.

Masahiko Michiwaki, who had been kidnapped by this terrifying character, lay motionless in the back seat, holding his breath and patiently waiting for an opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, he actually got his chance in the end.

Because the gang of criminals needed to conduct a transaction with someone else, it was inconvenient to have him with them. So, after driving into the abandoned port on the shore, they transferred him from the car to an abandoned container near the port.

They probably planned to come back after the deal was done, take him away, and kill him.

It wasn't until the car's taillights completely disappeared that Masahiko Michiwaki dared to open his eyes. The feeling of escaping death and the cold rain made his body shiver involuntarily.

After confirming that the other party had gone far away, Michiwaki Masahiko finally managed to untie the ropes binding him.

After escaping from the clutches of the murderous demon, Masahiko Michiwaki braved the light rain and ran along the path until he finally managed to find a ride to his hotel.

Although he survived, Masahiko Michiwaki discovered that he had lost all his money and documents.

This is terrible. It will take a long time to replace his documents, and his plan to escape abroad by plane is blocked. Moreover, because he had planned to flee at any time, Masahiko Michiwaki had been carrying a large sum of cash with him.

They've taken everything.

Sitting in his hotel room, Masahiko Michiwaki scratched his head in distress. He dared not call the police, and was even worried that the transnational criminal group would come after him.

But nowadays, they don't have the funds to escape, and without documents, it's inconvenient to go anywhere.

Suddenly, at his wit's end, Michiwaki Masahiko thought of Suzuki Sonoko.

After getting to know Sonoko Suzuki as a friend, Masahiko Michiwaki realized that the young lady's family seemed to be very wealthy.

In that case, perhaps he could change his previous plans.

Since we're going to run away anyway, it doesn't matter whether we steal the camera or not. We might as well try to extort some money from her and then smuggle ourselves abroad to lay low for a while.

The more Michiwaki Masahiko thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.

Oh, and we can't let that kid Wen Shui and Shu get away with it either. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been so scared that he wet his pants in public.

Masahiko Michiwaki then called Sonoko Suzuki back, saying that he had waited at the hotel for a long time but they hadn't arrived, so he was dragged out for drinks by his friends. He then rescheduled the dinner for the next day.

The good news is that Sonoko Suzuki doesn't seem to suspect him; in fact, she seems a little embarrassed.

Michiwaki Masahiko peered out the window at his car, thinking that since he was going abroad anyway, there was no point in keeping the car.

Why not use this mechanism to kill Wen Shui and the girl he likes during dinner tomorrow? A sinister smile appeared on Michiwaki Masahiko's face.

.

A coastal street near midnight.

After sobering up a bit, Kogoro Mouri wanted to go out for ramen, but Sonoko Suzuki, who had been cooped up in her hotel room all afternoon, insisted on coming out too.

Finally, Ran and Conan followed them out.

The rain had stopped by then, and the group strolled along the street, carrying folded umbrellas.

While waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, a young woman wearing sunglasses walked out of the convenience store across the street.

Conan immediately recognized the person as his mother, Yukiko Kudo.

Conan couldn't help but wonder, why was his mother here? Did she get bored in Beika Town and come all the way here?

Just then, Yukiko Kudo, who was across the street, turned to face the convenience store checkout counter and sneered, "Honey, how do you think I should punish you tonight?"

Conan's eyes lit up. His dad was here too?

That would be a good opportunity to talk to him about the case; maybe I can get some useful advice.

Ran and Sonoko also saw Yukiko Kudo coming out of the supermarket. Sonoko waved to greet her, "Aunt Yukiko..."

She stopped halfway through her sentence.

The expression on his face froze.

Because the man in the black trench coat was not Yusaku Kudo, but Kazuki Nukumizu, who had gone out to investigate a case and had not yet contacted them.

Meanwhile, the "newlywed couple" across the street also noticed what was going on.

The two groups of people faced each other across the road.

The surrounding air seemed to stand still, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Chapter 113 Ai Learns to Catch Adulterers Remotely

After exchanging glances across the street for a moment, Ran and Sonoko Suzuki led the charge.

The two men stared at Wen Shui with unfriendly expressions, as if they had seen their dog run out to play with the stray dogs in the neighborhood, get covered in mud, and end up not getting any meat.

That sharp yet resentful gaze was somewhat overwhelming for Wen Shui.

In addition, Kogoro Mouri and Conan, who were standing next to him, were also staring at him and Yukiko Kudo with eyes that were different from those of Ran and Sonoko.

The warm water suddenly felt incredibly pressured.

However, among all the people present, Conan undoubtedly had the most complex inner thoughts.
