Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Suddenly, I heard the sound of keys falling to the ground at the hotel entrance.

The two turned their heads and saw Eri Kisaki standing there with a pale face. The car keys lay at her feet, radiating a chilling aura when exposed to the sunlight.

If I'm not mistaken, Eri Kisaki was probably going back to her car to get something when she overheard something incredible at the door.

Eri looked at Ran in shock, then glanced at Wen Shui with an unfriendly look for a few seconds.

Finally, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "Xiao Lan, come with me for a moment."

Xiao Lan looked at Wen Shui with a pleading expression and subconsciously grabbed Wen Shui's arm.

Seeing this, Eri Kisaki took another deep breath, her large breasts heaving violently, and said in a low voice:

"Warm water, come over here too."

Wen Shui and Xiao Lan, like children who had done something wrong, hung their heads and walked towards the parking lot with Fei Yingli.

Chapter 131 The punishment is to trim Xiaolan's toenails.

Wen Shui followed Eri to the parking lot next to the hotel.

There were about a dozen cars parked here, some of them covered in dust, clearly indicating they hadn't been moved in a long time.

Eri Kisaki walked up to a Ford American pickup truck. Its wide and long body made it stand out among the surrounding cars.

However, I remember that Eri usually doesn't drive this kind of car. Could it be that she rented it here?

"Mom? You changed your car?" Xiaolan asked like a curious child.

Eri glanced at her indifferently without saying a word, clearly seeing through Ran's attempt to change the subject.

Xiao Lan lowered her head, looking as if she was repenting.

Eri opened the car door, took out her phone charger, then turned to look at Wen Shui and Xiao Lan, hesitatingly asking, "You two... have you started dating?"

"Mom, you've misunderstood." Ran grabbed Eri's arm and shook it. "We were just joking."

Warm Water: "Yes, Yingli-nee..."

"Call her Auntie!"

Eri Kisaki glared at him, clearly intending to use her seniority to make Wen Shui understand the seriousness of the situation.

Wen Shui smiled wryly and said, "Aunt Yingli, I don't know where you heard that, but we were really just joking."

"A joke?" Eri pushed up her black-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses, her tone unfriendly. "Is it appropriate to joke about something like this? You're still young; you should focus on your studies."

Xiaolan and Wenshui exchanged a glance.

It seems that without revealing the truth, there's no way to explain things clearly.

So they had no choice but to recount to Eri everything that Ran had been worried about and how Wen Shui had reacted.

After hearing this, and combining it with what she had heard, Eri Kisaki became somewhat more convinced of the explanation.

Eri looked at her daughter with a helpless expression: "Honestly, you're always worrying about such useless things."

Xiao Lan playfully stuck out her tongue.

Eri glanced at Wen Shui again and sighed: "I don't know what you think, but I think it would be better for you to focus your energy on your studies or what you plan to do in the future."

My advice, as someone who's been there, is that maintaining a relationship without a solid financial foundation is extremely difficult.

Nuwa knew that Eri Kisaki was referring to her marriage with Kogoro Mouri.

But Wen Shui didn't know what to say at this point, so she nodded sincerely.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the parking lot entrance.

Kogoro Mouri, now dressed in a navy blue yukata from the inn, appeared before them, looking at them with a surprised and suspicious expression.

It's no wonder Uncle Mori was suspicious.

It's hard not to have suspicions when your wife and daughter stand with a guy with a bad reputation, and they all look panicked when they see him.

"Eri, didn't you say you were coming to get your phone charger? What are you all doing sneaking around like this?" Kogoro Mouri asked as he walked over.

"Ah, yes." Eri Kisaki quickly calmed down, her expression composed. "I just happened to see those two children, so I gave them a few words of advice."

She emphasized her instructions.

Kogoro Mouri immediately recalled that the two of them had argued before because Nuku and Ran were getting too close, and Eri Kisaki's attitude was that she didn't want Ran and Nuku to get too close.

Uncle Mori originally wanted to stop the two of them.

However, when Yukiko Kudo returned, Eri Kisaki showed a certain degree of affection for Onami, mentioning several times at the dinner table that Onami was a pretty good young man.

So later, Kogoro Mouri gave up the idea of ​​telling Ran to stay away from warm water, and just told Ran to be careful and not let that kid take advantage of her.

Did Eri change her mind again after a while?

Honestly, this woman's mind is always so unpredictable, she's really hard to deal with," Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but mutter to himself.

.

Back at the hotel, Wen Shui put her luggage in the room and changed into the navy blue yukata provided by the hot spring hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel lobby, they discovered that besides Uncle Mori and his family of three, Conan, there were several unfamiliar faces and two familiar faces.

Conan was surrounded by those two familiar faces.

"Ah, he's here." A bald middle-aged man immediately came over and shook hands with Wen Shui after seeing him. "I didn't expect that you would be the classmate of the Mori girl... uh, daughter."

His hands were thick and strong, and it felt like he could easily snap a deer's neck.

What surprised Wen Shui the most was that this person was actually the bald detective uncle who jumped into the sea twice that day.

He then realized that this bald man was actually Kogoro Mouri's classmate.

However, you can't blame him. This person's appearance in the comics is quite exaggerated, and it would be difficult to replicate in reality. In addition, it was too dark that night, so it's normal that Wen Shui didn't remember.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "I never expected it to be you. Thank you so much for that day."

"Don't mention it. I'm a detective. I can't just stand by and watch someone die if I encounter something like that." Nakamichi Kazushi scratched his head and let out a hearty laugh.

At this moment, another woman who was somewhat familiar to Wen Shui walked over: "I didn't expect that the recently famous Detective Wen Shui is actually Xiao Lan's classmate. What a coincidence."

Wen Shui greeted the other person politely in return.

At the same time, he carefully observed the woman in front of him. If he was not mistaken, the woman who appeared at the scene that night was the victim in this case.

A few days ago, when Wen Shui was leaving, she saw her leaving with the bald uncle, Zhongdao Kazushi.

At the time, I was just curious that this guy was so burly and his girlfriend was so petite. I never expected that I wouldn't recognize her at the time.

What Wen Shui didn't expect was that Xiao Lan also curiously asked about what happened a few days ago.

It seems that Conan didn't explain much about what happened that day to Ran when he got back.

Was it because Ai Haibara told her not to say anything carelessly?

Or does Conan want to defeat him fair and square, rather than resorting to such low-level tactics?

.

Thanks to Uncle Mori's introduction, Wen Shui became familiar with everyone.

The members of this class reunion, besides the murderer Kazushi Nakamichi and the deceased Yumi Horikoshi, were all present.

The other three people are: Jun Omura, a chubby bespectacled man who looks somewhat like the culprit in the Bandaged Man case; and a couple who have recently gotten married, Yukio Ayashiro and Noriko Ayashiro.

Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri's classmates all knew each other, and they started chatting about their past when they were young, which quickly made the atmosphere lively.

“Oh, right, I also brought our college photo album. Would you like to take a look?” Noriko Ayashiro, who wore glasses, suddenly said.

“Okay, okay, I really want to see what I looked like when I was young,” Horikoshi Yumi said with a smile.

Noriko Ayashiro took out a photo album from behind her and placed it on the low table in the hall, then flipped through it with everyone.

“Hey, isn’t this Ran when she was little?” Eri Kisaki pointed to a photo in the album.

Wen Shui looked in the direction she pointed.

Ran in the photo doesn't look much older than Conan. She's holding a tennis racket and standing happily in front of the camera, with the same classmates as today, but everyone looks much younger now.

The bearded Mori uncle looked panicked and tried to rush over to stop Ran.

If I'm not mistaken, Xiaolan must have suddenly wandered into the frame.

Wen Shui: "Really? Xiao Lan was just a little kid back then, so cute."

Xiaolan, standing beside her, suddenly blushed, but said with a straight face, "I'm so sorry, I'm not cute at all now."

“No, that’s not what I meant,” Wen Shui explained. “I just didn’t expect that you, Xiao Lan, were such a mischievous child when you were little.”

"I'm so sorry, I'm actually a bad girl." Xiaolan smiled with narrowed eyes, then secretly used her hand to attack Wenshui's waist.

We chatted for about an hour in a pleasant and joyful atmosphere.

Xiao Lan suddenly winked at Wen Shui and called her over: "My mom and I are going to the hot springs, and we have a favor to ask you."

Wen Shui was taken aback at first, but quickly realized: "You want me to take care of Conan?"

Xiao Lan looked at Wen Shui in surprise.

She thought he would do what he usually does, asking if she needed her to scrub his back, but this time he was surprisingly well-behaved: "Hmm, Conan also wants to soak in the hot spring. It seems like Dad and the others are going to talk for a long time, so why don't you take him with you?"

Wen Shui nodded: "Okay, Conan-kun, let's go then."

Conan crossed his arms, looking annoyed.

I thought to myself, if it weren't for that guy Wen Shui...

It seems unlikely that he'd bathe with Ran. Even though his body has shrunk, Ran is surprisingly protective of children. Of course, he doesn't even have the thought of bathing with Ran.

Wen Shui patted Conan's head: "By the way, Conan, your back-rubbing technique was pretty good last time, so I'll have to rely on you this time."

Conan was startled: "Ran-neechan, I suddenly don't want to soak in the hot spring anymore. I'll just chat with Uncle here instead."

"What's there to talk about with a little kid like you? Go take a bath. There are some things we can't talk about with you here." Uncle Mori waved his hand dismissively.

"What's the topic?" Eri Kisaki pushed up her glasses. "I'm suddenly a little curious too."

Uncle Mori was speechless with embarrassment.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the hotel's living room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
