Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

The three stood face to face, under the gaze of the angel statue.

Wen Shui had assumed Suzuki Sonoko was there to discuss the bet, but to her surprise, Sonoko suddenly asked, "You're actually Shinichi, aren't you?"

"What?" Wen Shui was stunned for a moment.

Ran frowned beside her, saying, "Sonoko, you have to accept the consequences of your bet."

Sonoko Suzuki said with a very serious expression, "No, he already gave himself away when he was reasoning just now. Shinichi, what you're wearing on your face is actually Professor Agasa's new invention, right? Ran, you actually teamed up with him to trick me too."

Sonoko Suzuki seemed to see through everything.

Wen Shui was startled. Could it be that he subconsciously imitated Conan when he was making the deduction just now?

"I really need to be more careful next time," he said, his face remaining calm. "Don't joke around. You made a bet with me during PE class today, don't you remember?"

"That's why I felt something was off. You guys must have teamed up to play a trick on me." Sonoko Suzuki pretended to be angry, but she actually seemed more like she had discovered an Easter egg in the game and was looking forward to enjoying the fun of solving the puzzle.

Xiaolan: "Yuanzi, you..."

"Watch me tear off your disguise." Before Ran could finish speaking, Sonoko Suzuki pounced on him.

Wen Shui was caught off guard by her decisiveness and was pinned against the angel statue.

Because she lunged so hard, their noses almost collided.

The ends of her short, brown hair brushed against the tip of her nose in the warm water, and the scent of expensive shampoo wafted over her.

"Wait! Are you crazy? It hurts." Wen Shui tried to pry her hands open.

Sonoko Suzuki sneered, "Stop pretending! Sonoko-sama, the Queen of Deduction, has already seen through your tricks."

The two started arguing.

After actually touching her, Wen Shui realized that Suzuki Sonoko's hands were much smaller than he had imagined, like a child's hands, and soft to the touch.

The skin, tanned to a healthy shine, felt silky smooth and had a perfectly pleasant fragrance, making it hard to touch it too roughly.

Seeing this, Xiaolan hugged Yuanzi from behind and said, "Stop fooling around, Yuanzi, I'm going to get angry if you keep doing this!"

However, because it happened so suddenly, Ran's hand happened to be under the collar of Sonoko Suzuki's uniform.

Xiaolan's hand easily sank into it.

Through the clothes, the soft, youthful fabric was squeezed into a heart shape.

Sonoko Suzuki seemed to have been frozen in place, her body stiffening instantly. Her face turned red, and her expression became panicked.

It seems that even the carefree Suzuki couldn't accept being shaped into a heart by her best friend in front of a boy, a symbol of love.

Sonoko Suzuki's grip loosened, and it looked like Ran was about to drag her away from behind.

Just then, as if possessed, Wen Shui suddenly grabbed Suzuki Sonoko's small hand and gently pulled her towards him.

Sonoko Suzuki stared at him with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Wen Shui also found it incredible. Could it be that the pressure after her transmigration was too great, leading to impulse control disorder?

But soon, Sonoko Suzuki no longer had the energy to be incredulous.

Because Ran's view was blocked by Sonoko Suzuki, she couldn't see what was happening in front of her and thought Sonoko was still clinging to Nukami.

So Ran picked up her best friend and pulled her back desperately, saying, "Sonoko, you can't bully Wen Shui-kun."

"I didn't! This bastard is bullying me!" Sonoko Suzuki shouted.

But Xiaolan was clearly blinded by her preconceived notions and continued to drag things out.

Wen Shui was also starting to regret his actions, because he noticed a flash of murderous intent in Suzuki Sonoko's eyes.

Will the Suzuki Group dump it in Tokyo Bay to feed the fish?

Unsure how to resolve the situation, Wen Shui had no choice but to stall for time with Xiao Lan, trying to find a solution.

Soon, Sonoko Suzuki's headband came off due to the shaking and fell to the ground, her soft brown short hair hanging down naturally, swaying rhythmically back and forth on both sides of her ears.

It felt like someone had hit her from behind.

Gradually.

Wenshui noticed that the murderous intent in Suzuki Sonoko's eyes seemed to have disappeared. She bit her lip lightly, and a hint of moisture appeared in her beautiful eyes as she looked at him with a resentful gaze.

What happened? Did I accidentally push the boss into the second phase?

Just then, crisp footsteps echoed down the corridor.

"Oh, so this is it?" With that, a young girl in a Metropolitan Police Department Traffic Division uniform appeared at the entrance of the Sky Exhibition Hall.

The girl had fair skin and a slender figure, and wore a temporary work badge around her neck for easy access to the crime scene.

The name tag read her job title and her name: Miike Naoko.

Upon seeing the situation inside the exhibition hall, Miike Naeko's eyes widened, then she quickly looked away: "Uh... I think I came at the wrong time."

Wen Shui was worried about how to handle the situation, so she quickly explained, "No, you've come at just the right time."

Just when Wen Shui thought she was saved.

He suddenly noticed that Miike Naeko had pulled a revolver from her waist and seemed to be aiming it at his head.

Chapter 12 Ran's Heart, The Contract Ceremony of the Junior Detective League

Miike Naoko had actually arrived a long time ago.

When she and her partner Yumi Miyamoto arrived at the Mihana Art Museum, the surrounding traffic was already completely jammed.

Across the street, I could see the art museum surrounded by yellow police tape, with Metropolitan Police Department officers holding batons maintaining order at the entrance.

The horns of surrounding cars blared incessantly, and two drivers even got into an argument over a minor collision, further exacerbating the traffic congestion in the vicinity.

The two quickly got out of the patrol car and went to deal with the argument.

Then I started directing traffic on the road in front of the art museum. After working for most of the day, I finally managed to get the traffic flowing through.

Miyamoto Yumi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Nayako, go find Officer Chiba. I can manage here by myself."

Miike Naeko nodded: "Okay, I'll be right back."

With that, she turned and walked through the crowd, explained the situation to the police officers maintaining order at the entrance of the art museum, and entered the Mihana Art Museum.

Miike Naeko had been here once before, but that was many years ago, before she graduated from university.

Looking at the familiar exhibits in the museum, Miike Naoko couldn't help but reminisce about her youthful days in college.

After navigating through a maze-like corridor, you arrive at the most bustling hell exhibition hall.

A searchlight was set up at the entrance, providing ample lighting for the exhibition hall. Colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Department were busy collecting evidence and taking photos, while two men who looked like criminals stood by the wall in handcuffs.

Have they caught the criminal yet?

Miike Naeko was somewhat surprised, thinking that Sato-senpai's worries were indeed unnecessary.

Although Chiba is usually rather quiet and not good at interpersonal communication, he's actually quite reliable when it matters.

Miike Naoko entered the Hell exhibition hall and quickly found Chiba Kazunobu, who was repenting and praying in front of an oil painting.

"I'm sorry, Izumi-senpai, I failed to protect the glory of the Metropolitan Police Department, and I was even thinking about taking paid leave." Officer Chiba said, his face full of self-reproach as he read the name of the senior who had brought him into the company.

Miike Naeko: "Chiba, what's wrong?"

Officer Chiba glanced back at her, then turned back to the painting: "Are you already hallucinating...?"

The seedlings in the three pools were completely confused.

The forensic expert next to him chimed in, "They've been defeated by the manzai master."

"A master of manzai?"

The forensic expert's explanation only confused her more.

Fortunately, at this moment, Officer Chiba realized that his childhood friend was not an illusion. He quickly switched into the mode of an excellent detective who could handle things on his own and began to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

Since the criminal has already been caught, there seems to be no need to repeat Sato Miwako's instructions.

Miike Naeko, on the other hand, became somewhat interested in the high school detective who solved the case.

"The one who solved the case isn't you, but a detective who can easily make a girl who just broke up with her boyfriend laugh?" Miike Naeko's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something.

Officer Chiba: "That's outrageous, isn't it? Humans can actually combine two different advantages together."

"Uh, it's actually not so bad." Miike Naeko smiled awkwardly. "By the way, Chiba, has that detective named Nukumizu left?"

"Probably not, the site is still closed."

"That's great. Since he's a detective, he should be able to accept cases, right? I have something I'd like to ask him for a favor." Miike Naeko's eyes gleamed with hope.

"I can help if there's anything," Officer Chiba said, patting his chest.

Miike Naeko shook her head with a troubled expression: "No, this request requires someone who is really good at making people laugh."

Officer Chiba: "I can make people laugh too."

The air fell silent for a second.

Miike Naeko chuckled twice and patted him on the shoulder: "Yeah, that's true. Chiba, what you said is kind of funny. I'm going to find that detective now. See you later."

After saying that, she skipped and hopped away.

Officer Chiba watched his childhood friend leave, his face ashen.

The image of his girlfriend lying contentedly on the bed, and Wen Shui coming out of the room while getting dressed, flashed through his mind again.

However, this time his girlfriend was wearing a police uniform instead of her pajamas, and was handcuffed and leaning against the headboard.

.

Miike Naeko had no idea what Chiba was thinking.

She just wanted to find the young detective as soon as possible, tell him about the request, and then go outside to help Yumi maintain order.

After leaving the Hell exhibition hall and circling the corridor several times, Miike Naeko heard strange noises not far away.

So she followed the sound to the scene and saw the group of Wen Shui gathered together in strange postures.

Actually, Miike Naeko was just a little surprised at first, after all, she was a traffic patrol police officer and sometimes had to work night shifts.
