Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Yukiko Kudo, with a stern face, threw the two boxes into the trash can: "So it wasn't you. I thought you finally couldn't hold back anymore."

The word "finally" is superfluous.

Wen Shui shrugged and said, "I thought you were going to take advantage of me. I almost ran away halfway through."

"Run away? Am I not good enough for you, kid? Explain yourself." Yukiko Kudo said, her expression displeased.

Wen Shui explained in a serious tone, "No, but I'm young."

Yukiko Kudo put down the spice box in her hand and tidied her hair slightly: "Look closely, the person standing in front of you is a popular female idol..."

Mrs. Kudo chanted a spell for more than a minute.

Wen Shui's expression remained unchanged: "But I'm young."

"Damn it, you bastard..." Yukiko Kudo glared at him through gritted teeth, but seemed to be rendered speechless by Wen Shui's retort.

Wen Shui faintly heard the sound of a heart breaking.

It seems this attack hit Yukiko Kudo's weak point. Considering this is Beika Town, I wonder if she might have poisoned the food.

I should send Xiaolan a text message later to explain.

.

After working for more than an hour, Yukiko Kudo brought the last dish into the living room.

Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, Wen Shui couldn't help but feel a strong urge to eat.

Yukiko Kudo took off her apron, walked to the cabinet by the door, and took out a bottle of red wine: "By the way, would you like some wine?"

Wen Shui looked troubled: "I think I won't drink it. You can drink some if you want."

"Why?" Yukiko Kudo asked curiously.

"I'm afraid I'll make things worse if I drink too much," Wen Shui explained, glancing subconsciously in the direction of the trash can.

Yukiko Kudo immediately understood what he was worried about: "You're overthinking things, kid. Don't worry, even if you have bad intentions, I'll cut them off with a knife."

Wen Shui couldn't help but click her tongue in astonishment: "What kind of way is this to comfort someone?"

Yukiko Kudo smiled brightly as she looked at Nuka's pale face.

Even though Yukiko Kudo tried to persuade him several times, Awami still insisted on not drinking, because he had seen Yukiko Kudo drunk before.

Wen Shui didn't believe her.

Yukiko Kudo's cooking skills are really good, and perhaps because she has lived abroad for many years, the flavor of her cooking is a bit different from that of people here.

Wen Shui enjoyed the meal very much.

However, the situation got a little out of control halfway through the celebration.

Yukiko Kudo was probably under too much pressure, so she drank two bottles of red wine by herself. Then the conversation between the two shifted from discussing the filming of the movie and some interesting anecdotes in the film industry to complaining about Shinichi Kudo and his son Yusaku Kudo.

Wen Shui initially responded politely with a couple of sentences.

Later, he simply lowered his head and ate his rice, ignoring the already drunk Yukiko Kudo.

This tactic worked very well.

After complaining for more than half an hour, Yukiko Kudo finally succumbed to the alcohol and fell asleep on the sofa.

Wen Shui ate the last piece of beef on the plate, then looked at Mrs. Kudo on the sofa and thought that it was about time to go back.

Before leaving, Wen Shui helped her put all the dishes in the dishwasher to wash them, and even found a light blanket from her room to cover her before going home.

Two hours after Wen Shui left, Kudo Yukiko, who had drunk a lot of alcohol, woke up thirsty.

She groggily opened her eyes and found herself lying on the sofa, her throat still dry and itchy.

Yukiko was startled at first.

Then I checked myself and found that my clothes hadn't been touched, and the plates on the table had been cleared away.

As for the dry, itchy throat... it's probably because I ate a croquette with too much salt.

"Warm water? Warm water..." Yukiko Kudo called out several times, but no one answered.

I guess they went back.

Yukiko Kudo stood up from the sofa, took a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and drank several mouthfuls before feeling a little more awake.

Although she was alone in the room, Mrs. Kudo still tiptoed nervously to the trash can and glanced at the two intact boxes of "cling film" inside.

I suddenly felt a little lost.

Could it be true, as that kid said, that she's past the age where people can get their hands on her?

Wait a minute, shouldn't we be thankful now?

"I can't drink so much next time," Kudo Yukiko thought, but... looking at the bedding on the sofa, her eyes softened.

That kid Wen Shui isn't as bad as I thought; at least he won't take advantage of someone in distress.

.

In the middle of the night, Wen Shui was a little irritated by Yukiko Kudo.

I'm planning to go out and calm myself down.

Of course, he wouldn't go to places like Kabukicho, but instead chose to go to the artificial lake near Beika Park and run around the lake a few times.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Yukiko Kudo rushing toward the parking space.

That's strange, what's she doing out so late?

Moreover, he was wearing a suspiciously long trench coat and his expression looked very serious.

After thinking about it for a moment, Wen Shui gave up her running plan and decided to follow along and see what was going on.

He rushed home to get his usual outfit for stalking, then hailed a car and followed Yukiko Kudo to a coffee shop in the city.

After getting off the bus, Onami hid in the shadows and observed Yukiko Kudo.

Soon, a car pulled up by the roadside, and Akira Nakai got out and walked into the coffee shop with Yukiko Kudo.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wen Shui used the disguise props in her bag to cover herself up, and then followed them into the coffee shop. She then used a bugging device to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Upon hearing this, Wen Shui was completely shocked.

It turns out that Yukiko Kudo had been coerced by the other party, who demanded a large sum of money from her.

No wonder she said before that filming movies requires careful budgeting.

This time, Akira Nakai even offered to pay more money, but he said he would provide Yukiko with a lot of inside information about the entertainment industry as compensation, so that she could quickly expand her company and sign popular artists at a lower price by using some threatening means.

However, Yukiko Kudo clearly did not want to use such methods.

The two then started arguing about this issue.

However, Akira Nakai seems to have recognized Yusaku Kudo's money-making ability, and it appears that he doesn't want to spread his battle lines, but instead plans to make a big profit this time and then leave the country.

So I plan to throw away all my cards at once.

Finally, Yukiko Kudo said she would go back and think about it, and the two parted ways.

Wen Shui took a sip of iced lemon tea, looked at the night view outside the coffee shop, and fell into deep thought.

The lukewarm water did not disturb Yukiko Kudo.

He was still unsure whether Akira Nakai would die like in the original Conan story, or when he would die.

If there isn't enough time, he'll have to take matters into his own hands to make sure the other party disappears from this world legitimately.

Fortunately, the skill entries in his mind allowed him to come up with a few plans for accidental killings.

Just be careful not to get targeted by Conan.

.

Meanwhile, Yukiko Kudo was about to start her car and head back.

As she passed by the coffee shop, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Wen Shui paying at the counter. Although he was disguised, his figure still looked somewhat familiar to Yukiko Kudo.

No way?

Yukiko Kudo suddenly felt uneasy and didn't know what to do.

Chapter 139 This is a lie; swinging with Mrs. Kudo tonight.

Yukiko Kudo originally wanted to wait until the other person came out of the coffee shop before carefully examining them.

But after waiting for a long time, the other party still didn't come out.

Yukiko Kudo looked out the car window into the cafe and realized that the person was no longer visible near the cashier.

Did she go to the restroom? Or did you spot her running away from the back door?

Yukiko Kudo was a little undecided. She was also hesitant to call Wen Shui directly. That guy was so wary; what if the person in the coffee shop wasn't him, and she ended up offering herself up to him?

However, Mrs. Kudo immediately thought of a way to confirm it.

She stepped on the gas, and the green sedan sped off at a speed that belied its appearance, heading straight for Wen Shui's apartment.

Yukiko Kudo is very confident in her driving skills. She had previously raced with Ran when they were abroad. Now that the road conditions are good at night, she is confident that she can get to the apartment before Awami.

If that person really is lukewarm water.

When the time comes, all we need to do is knock on the door to confirm whether the person we just spoke to was either Wen Shui or another unscrupulous reporter with a similar profession to Nakai Akira.

Although she stopped at a 24-hour convenience store halfway there.

However, Yukiko Kudo arrived at the Wenshui family's building more than half the time it took her to get there.

After getting off the bus, she immediately grabbed the things she bought from the convenience store and ran upstairs to knock on the door.

Sure enough, there was no response after knocking for a long time.

Yukiko Kudo's heart sank; things had ultimately slid into the situation she least wanted to see.

However, since things have come to this point, even if Wen Shui really knows the truth, he cannot be allowed to act rashly. Things in the entertainment industry are not as simple as they seem.

Yukiko's biggest worry is that people like Nukumizu and Shinichi will always try to solve problems with justice or the law when faced with such situations.

But they are young and don't know that some things in this world are unreasonable and difficult to deal with.
