Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

The search for Conan was forced to a halt. The group helped Sonoko Suzuki back to her room.

The situation is more serious than imagined. Sonoko Suzuki will most likely be unable to participate in the operation to find Conan, and may not even be able to unravel the secrets of the castle.

However, judging from the way Genta and the others are acting, they probably intend to continue their investigation on their own.

Wen Shui, on the other hand, used the excuse of being too tired to go back to her room to sleep.

Because he knew that tonight was destined to be an unsettling night, that Professor Agasa would disappear, and that the kids would be trapped in the secret passage.

The good news is that Sonoko Suzuki, the X-factor who was initially a bit of a concern for Wen Shui, is unlikely to be involved in the incident due to her twisted back.

This made it much easier for him to deal with Mutsumi Nishikawa.

I feel like I can speed up the material gathering process a lot with some effort. I wonder what kind of reward I'll get this time.

With hope in her heart, the warm water quickly lulled her into a dream.

Then he dreamed that when he was drawing a prize in the system interface, a bug appeared in the system, and high-level skill entries kept popping up from the machine.

Wen Shui was overjoyed and hugged all the entries to her chest.

However, he soon discovered that these skill entries suddenly began to melt like chocolate in hot water, smearing onto his face and making it difficult for him to breathe.

The air in my chest was getting less and less, and the feeling of suffocation continued to intensify, but the sweet aroma that wafted over me was intoxicating.

Hmm, something doesn't feel right.

Wen Shui suddenly opened his eyes and found Ai Haibara sitting on him, looking at him calmly.

Wen Shui was shocked: "When did you get here? Is this a dream?"

"You're awake! That's great, let's go." Ai Haibara rubbed her clean little feet on the sheets with a look of disgust, then put her white cotton socks back on.

That's strange, why would she take off her socks for no reason?

Chapter 143 Wall Slam, Conveying Feelings to Ai Haibara

Ai Haibara's body is very small and light.

Sitting on him doesn't feel like much; it's like a lazy cat snuggling up to its owner for warmth while the owner is sleeping.

However, cats generally use their tongues to clean their paws.

In reality, the kitten in front of us seems to have done something that its owner finds hard to accept, but at first glance, it doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong.

Wen Shui had a vague bad feeling: "What...did you just do to me?"

"I didn't do anything, just woke you up," Ai Haibara said with a smile.

"How did you shout?" Wen Shui asked.

"I was sitting on you. By the way, what were you dreaming about? Why were you saying things like 'It's so delicious' in your dream..."

When Ai Haibara was halfway through her sentence, she noticed that Wen Shui's expression was off, as if she was about to attack her. So she jumped off the bed first: "You can't blame me for everything. I was just stretching my leg over to tease you. Who knows what you were dreaming about?"

"You've gone too far!"

Wen Shui looked at Haibara Ai with a resentful expression, then picked up the water glass by the bed and took a big gulp.

The milky taste in the mouth gradually fades.

Yet, a lingering desire welled up inside me, like the subconscious reaction of a coffee addict upon smelling the aroma of coffee beans.

Looking at Ai Haibara's fair and delicate shoulder skin exposed under her red off-shoulder knit top, Wen Shui couldn't help but think to herself, "After her body shrunk, her scent changed too. She's like a sweet and soft milk candy."

Even so, we can't just feed him everything, can we?

"How infuriating! I'll find a chance to get my revenge later," Wen Shui thought to herself.

Ai Haibara felt Wen Shui's gaze and, worried that he would pounce on her, quickly put on a serious face and said, "Professor Agasa has disappeared, and Conan hasn't returned yet. I guess they might be in trouble. Now it's time for you, the great detective, to make your appearance."

Wen Shui looked up at the clock on the wall and realized it was past 11 p.m.

He actually slept for several hours.

Wen Shui yawned: "Could it be that Professor Agasa went to investigate the treasure?"

Ai Haibara shook her head: "Conan is a possibility, but Professor Agasa isn't that bored. At first, I thought he went to the kitchen to steal something to eat, but when I went to the kitchen, I found all the maids busy there. Nobody saw Professor Agasa."

Wen Shui nodded: "Okay, let's look for it then."

Afterwards, the two came out of the room, and Ai Haibara led Wen Shui to the landline phone in the first-floor corridor.

The telephone handset returned to its original position somewhat strangely, as if someone had hurriedly placed the phone on it.

She pointed to the retro landline telephone: "When I was with Genta and the others looking for Conan in the castle, I heard some noise over here. But when we ran over, we found that the telephone receiver was strangely reset."

Wen Shui picked up the microphone with a serious expression: "So, you didn't see any of Professor Agasa's people?"

"No."

"I see." Wen Shui nodded. "By the way, where are Yuan Tai and the others?"

Haibara sighed, "I told them to stay here and keep an eye on things so they wouldn't run around, but it seems those little guys still can't stand being alone."

As she spoke, she took out her communicator to contact Genta and Ayumi.

However, no one answered after calling many times, which made Ai Haibara's face show some anxiety.

Wen Shui comforted him, "Don't worry, he probably just accidentally wandered into a secret passage in the castle like Conan. Didn't Mamiya Mitsuru say before that there are secret passages everywhere here and it's easy to get lost?"

Earlier at dinner, Mamiya Mitsuru had explained the secret passages of the castle to them. Since even the maids sometimes got lost, no one took Conan's disappearance seriously at first.

However, the current situation made Ai Haibara feel somewhat uneasy.

Because in addition to Conan, who disappeared in the afternoon, Professor Agasa and several members of the Detective Boys also lost contact one after another.

Even if there is a barely plausible explanation due to the unique architectural structure of this castle.

But can the words of a stranger who owns a castle really be believed?

If it weren't for the fact that Wen Shui didn't seem to be in a hurry, Ai Haibara might have already transformed into Sherry and used poison to threaten Mitsuru Mamiya into revealing the truth.

Wen Shui patted her head and comforted her, "Don't worry, I've thought of some possibilities. If I'm not mistaken, Conan and the others' disappearance is related to the treasure in this castle. Let's go to the place where he disappeared and see if we can find a secret passage."

Ai Haibara nodded, then slapped Wen Shui's hand away: "Don't touch my head like that, you've messed up my hair."

Wen Shui: "By the way, why aren't you wearing the headband I gave you?"

Ai Haibara revealed an expression that suggested she wanted to take him down with her: "And you, how did you even think of putting other women's things on me?"

Wen Shui looked at her with clear eyes: "Oh, you don't like it? Then I'll change it to my own next time."

"I don't want your stuff, it stinks."

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes and turned to walk towards the empty room on the second floor.

After arriving at the house where Conan disappeared, Nuwa brought back the chair and books, and then had Ai Haibara stand on them.

By recreating the scene, Conan thought about what he might have encountered at that time, and then soon, Wen Shui "inadvertently" thought that setting the wall clock to a specific time might trigger a mechanism.

Rumble.

The wall suddenly flipped over, and Wen Shui, who was leaning against it, and Ai Haibara fell into the secret passage together.

The secret passage here has poor air quality due to lack of ventilation, and it is also somewhat cold and dark. There is no light at all, so even though Wen Shui and Haibara Ai are pressed close together, they cannot see each other's expressions.

After Ai Haibara realized she had fallen in, she was quickly enveloped in a warm embrace, preventing her from getting hurt.

Feeling the warm water against his broad chest, and the reassuring scent of male hormones emanating from his body.

Ai Haibara's resentment lessened slightly.

Although this guy can be a bit eccentric at times, he's still reliable when it counts.

Even so, giving Sonoko Suzuki's headband to her is going too far. If you like it, you can just tell me, and I'll go buy one...

Huh, wait a minute!

Ai Haibara suddenly woke up with a start.

She found herself actually starting to think about how to please Wen Shui. Strange, could it be because she felt insecure in the dark secret passage, so she couldn't help but want to get closer to the things around her to gain a sense of security?

Yes, that must be it.

Even if she replaced the warm water with a pet dog, she would probably want to buy the other person some fresh dog food to strengthen the bond between them, Ai Haibara comforted herself in her heart.

"Did you bring a watch-style flashlight?" Wen Shui suddenly asked, his voice carrying far in the empty corridor.

Ai Haibara: "Yeah, I brought it."

She turned on the wristwatch-shaped flashlight, and a cylindrical beam of light appeared in front of the two of them.

Wen Shui squinted and said, "By the way, could you please not shine the flashlight directly in my face?"

Ai Haibara: "I want to see your ugly face."

"Have you seen enough? How about I get closer?" Wen Shui squinted and flicked her face forward, her hot breath spraying onto Sherry's tender face.

Ai Haibara exclaimed, "Are you crazy? You almost bit my lip!"

In the panic, the flashlight beam moved to the side.

When Wen Shui regained his vision, he discovered that Ai Haibara had already escaped from him and was glaring at him with a look of shame and anger.

Wen Shui patted the dust off her clothes, stood up and stretched: "What's wrong? We didn't actually run into each other, don't look at me like that."

"You're too reckless! What if you actually stick together?" Ai Haibara rushed over, her face flushed, to argue her point.

Wen Shui pondered seriously for a moment, then gave a rather tragic laugh: "Then I'll have no choice but to charge into the Black Organization with my girlfriend!"

Ai Haibara's small shoulders trembled.

then.

"Awoo!"

Wen Shui cried out in pain, "Hey, don't bite me! It hurts!"

.

After finally calming down the irrational Ai Haibara, the two began to explore along the passageway.

After walking for a short while, they saw words carved in stone on the wall in front of them.

Ai Haibara squatted down in front of the words and read them aloud softly: "That person has now taken my place and wants to obtain the castle's...treasure?"
