Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

While others can frankly express their inner feelings, Conan cannot show his true emotions in order to avoid exposing his identity.

This made Conan feel as if his body was about to explode like a pressure cooker.

After a moment of silence, Xiaolan and Sonoko, being the younger generation, found it inconvenient to speak at this time.

In the end, it was Kogoro Mouri who took the lead in breaking the deadlock. He cleared his throat and said, "Oh, it's Yukiko. I didn't expect you to be here on vacation too. I should have asked you to go fishing with me during the day."

Uncle Mori truly lives up to his reputation as a seasoned detective.

He selectively ignored Mrs. Kudo's earlier comment about "husband" and steered the conversation to the atmosphere of an old classmate's chance encounter on the street.

Ran and Sonoko immediately understood and greeted Yukiko Kudo with very awkward expressions.

Only Conan, who was somewhat out of control, kept his head down and didn't say a word.

However, no matter how well they understood each other, Yukiko Kudo still managed to catch the emotions that unconsciously slipped out in their eyes.

Yukiko Kudo felt her cheeks burning with shame and indignation. She knew without a doubt that her sarcastic remark to Kazuki Onami had been misunderstood.

Mrs. Kudo felt like dying because she was misunderstood by her old classmate and son.

But at this point, a forced explanation seems rather unconvincing.

Ultimately, all of this was her own doing. If she hadn't had the thought of teasing Wen Shui in the car, she probably wouldn't have been retaliated against by that kid, and this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened.

Yukiko Kudo thought that Wenshui was probably laughing at her right now.

Unexpectedly, Wen Shui spoke up first: "Did you hear Miss Kudo call me husband just now?"

Everyone's expression froze.

Yukiko Kudo turned around and glared at the lukewarm water.

Why bring it up again in person when it's already been covered up?!

With her expression unchanged, Wen Shui calmly explained, "Actually, we were just pretending to investigate. We said that to avoid arousing suspicion. We have already found evidence that Michiwaki Masahiko was not in the hotel for a long time."

"Huh? An investigation?" Ran and Sonoko said in unison.

Conan also looked up, analyzing that Wen Shui's explanation was somewhat credible.

Wenshui then fabricated a version of what had just happened, half true and half false, omitting the process by which he and Kudo Yukiko set up the kidnapping of Michiwaki Masahiko.

It is said that after Kudo Yukiko bumped into Wenshui on the road, she heard that he was investigating a serial killer and pestered Wenshui to join the investigation. In order to cover their tracks, they pretended to be a couple.

What he just said was just Yukiko Kudo joking with him.

Considering that Yukiko Kudo usually has this kind of mischievous personality, and has a dark history of pretending to be a high school girl.

Furthermore, it did take Michiwaki Masahiko a long time to return to the hotel, and he called Sonoko and the others very late.

In addition, since Wenshui and Kudo Yukiko had been up and about all day, their clothes were covered in rain and mud, so they didn't look like they were having a secret date.

Therefore, this explanation quickly convinced everyone present.

Uncle Mori scratched his head: "Oh, I see. By the way, Masahiko Michiwaki just called Sonoko and the others to invite them to dinner tomorrow. Shall we go over and arrest him now?"

“No, there isn’t enough evidence right now.” Wen Shui shook his head and told everyone about his plan to lure the enemy.

Just as he was patiently explaining...

Ran and Sonoko also looked at Wen Shui with slightly apologetic eyes, seemingly blaming themselves for their earlier distrust of him.

Yukiko Kudo looked at everyone with a complicated expression.

The good news is that she no longer has to embarrass herself in front of her old classmates and son.

The bad news is that Wen Shui and Shu seem to have a knack for dealing with women. Even though I know he's doing it on purpose, I still feel a sense of happiness from the bottom of my heart, as if I'm being protected.

This is actually largely due to the fact that Yusaku Kudo is usually very busy with work, and she rarely spends time with him.

No matter how old a woman is, she needs to be cared for and nurtured.

Being neglected for a long time, even if it's not intentional, will instinctively create a strong need to be protected.

And warm water, by sheer coincidence, filled this gap.

Even though Yukiko Kudo kept telling herself that this kid might not have good intentions, she was still deeply touched when she recalled how he tried his best to protect her.

.

The next day, noon.

As promised, Masahiko Michiwaki arrived at the Kawaraya Inn.

He changed into his most stylish floral shirt and sat on a seat on the first floor of the hotel waiting for Sonoko and the others.

However, after Wenshui's speculation last night, everyone now feels that Masahiko Michiwaki is very suspicious, but there is no evidence yet, so it is not easy to expose him.

As for the other fat man who was suspected by everyone, he is temporarily considered to be the other party's accomplice.

Although Wen Shui knew that Terahina Seiji was a criminal police officer, she still couldn't directly expose his identity without revealing that he was a transmigrator.

In order to lure Michiwaki Masahiko into revealing his true colors, Nukumizu and the others discussed several battle plans last night.

Kogoro Mouri went out early this morning and hid near that restaurant, ready to meet up with Nuku and the others at any time.

After Ran and Sonoko finished getting ready, the group got into Masahiko Michiwaki's car and headed to the restaurant he had booked.

On the way, Masahiko Michiwaki chatted and mentioned some interesting stories about the restaurant.

It is said that a year ago, a woman with brown hair was killed on her way to that restaurant. However, she still longed to leave the restaurant. Sometimes when customers took photos, a woman who looked like a ghost would appear in the photos.

Ran was so frightened that she hugged Sonoko.

Sonoko Suzuki didn't seem to care much about these rumors, so her reaction was lukewarm.

Twenty minutes later, the group arrived near the restaurant.

This restaurant is built on a steep cliff overlooking the sea, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it is precisely this feature that attracts many customers.

The parking lot is right next to the road opposite the restaurant, with several parking spaces marked with white lines.

Because the surrounding area is a cliff landscape, the road in front of the hotel is also a relatively steep slope.

When getting off the bus, Xiaolan was a little scared of ghosts and suddenly felt very sleepy, so she offered to stay in the bus to rest.

Ran thought that since there was warm water available and there were so many people in the restaurant, Michiwaki Masahiko wouldn't dare to do anything to Sonoko in broad daylight.

Masahiko Michiwaki initially wanted Nukumizu to stay and take care of Ran, but Nukumizu said she wanted to try the food at the restaurant and did not accept his suggestion.

Of course, warm water wouldn't put Xiaolan in danger.

He had already placed two mini wheel catches, researched by Professor Agasa, under the front wheels of the car as soon as he got out.

Don't let its small size fool you; this wheel catcher is surprisingly heavy. It has been tested with warm water and can even catch a fully loaded truck.

This is why the suitcase was particularly heavy before the warm water was used.

The group arrived at the restaurant and sat down, where waiters brought out plates of exquisite seafood set meals.

Actually, the restaurant wasn't expensive, but Masahiko Michiwaki considered that this might be the last big meal he would have in Japan, so he ordered a lot of expensive seafood.

However, to Masahiko Michiwaki's surprise, Nuwa didn't stay in the car with Ran.

This guy didn't even seize such a good opportunity to deepen their relationship; he's such an idiot.

But this is fine too. After the ice under the tires melts, the car will slide all the way down the cliff. Then, let Onami and Kazuki experience the pain of losing their beloved woman, Michiwaki Masahiko thought with a cold smile.

Just then, Wen Shui suddenly spoke up:

"This lobster sashimi is so delicious! It's completely different from the restaurants in Beika Town. Ran will definitely regret it if she doesn't get to eat something this good. I'll go get some for Ran to try."

After he finished speaking, Masahiko Michiwaki noticed that Onami was actually holding the lobster sashimi with sauce on it and reached out to ask him for the car keys.

The other party's reasoning was so reasonable that Masahiko Michiwaki had no way to refuse.

He had no choice but to hand the car keys to Wenshui, while silently cursing the ice under the wheels to melt quickly.

Unfortunately, he kept looking out the window, watching Wen Shui feed Xiao Lan the shrimp, and then return to the restaurant, while the car remained completely still.

The good news is that Ran Mouri fell asleep again after eating, and Warm Water didn't seem to notice the ice under the wheels.

After Wen Shui returned to the restaurant, the waiter brought over another dish: "Salt-baked Goldeneye Snapper".

After tasting the warm water, he picked up a piece of fish and ran out to feed Xiaolan.

After repeating this three times, Masahiko Michiwaki had grown tired of paying attention to Nukusui and instead focused his attention on Sonoko Suzuki, subtly trying to find out how much money this young lady could come up with without disturbing her family.

Because he wasn't a professional kidnapper, he didn't want to take the route of kidnapping and extorting ransom.

As they were chatting, Conan suddenly exclaimed, "Michiwa-nii, your car seems to be moving by itself!"

Michiwaki Masahiko thought that was natural; once the ice melted, the car would automatically slide down the slope toward the cliff, and Ran Mouri inside would be smashed to pieces along with the car...

Ok?

what's the situation?

Michiwaki Masahiko looked out at the parking area and saw Wenshui and Xiaolan standing by the roadside where he had parked. The two of them were eating grilled fish while watching the car slide alone toward the cliff face with a puzzled expression.

.

at the same time.

Beika Town, Professor Agasa's residence.

Ai Haibara sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a coffee in her hand, staring blankly at the lush green lawn and bright sunshine in the yard.

Dr. Agasa was just called away by the police to assist with an investigation.

It is said that the batch of stun guns he sold some time ago rendered a thief incapacitated during use by the buyer. Now, both the police and the company that sold the equipment suspect that there is something wrong with Dr. Agasa's products.

Haibara sighed. The professor still hadn't gotten rid of this old habit.

The price of having wildly imaginative ideas is sacrificing a certain degree of stability.

However, what upset Ai Haibara wasn't this incident, but rather her worry about her sister Akemi Miyano's safety, and her unease about Nuku's lack of contact with her.

However, Ai Haibara would never dare to call Wen Shui on her own initiative.

But a deep-seated unease lingered in her heart.

After thinking for a long time, Ai Haibara finally couldn't resist her emotions and secretly went back to her room to put her laptop on the bed.

Then he took out a "signal jammer" that he had prepared long ago but had never dared to use.

After connecting everything together, Ai Haibara clicked on the website for the Black Organization's secret communication and logged into a ghost account.
