Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui politely thanked her.

After giving some instructions, the female doctor left. The hospital wasn't very big, and from her conversation with the nurse, Wen Shui guessed she was going to check on other wards.

A huge crowd of people left.

Only Wen Shui and Kudo Yukiko remained in the corridor.

Wen Shui looked displeased: "Why did you say such things to lie to people?"

Yukiko Kudo: "Didn't you also lie to her and say you were Ran's boyfriend? Besides, explaining our relationship is too complicated."

Also, didn't you notice those young nurses over there already speculating about our relationship? I'm doing this for Xiaolan's own good, to avoid unnecessary gossip.

"But wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage?" Wen Shui said.

Yukiko Kudo chuckled lightly: "Don't worry about it. You and Shinichi are classmates, so it's not a loss for you to call me 'Mom.' I'll cook you something delicious next time you come to my house."

Wen Shui rolled her eyes at her too.

Seeing Wenshui's discomfiture, Yukiko became even more smug, crossing her arms like a victorious Valkyrie.

Her slender arms were clasped together, and the tips of her high heels tapped lightly on the ground, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Those plump, flabby muscles that would be considered top-tier in the Conan world were being pressed down by his arms, making it hard for him to breathe, and they seemed to be trying to burst out of his collar.

Under the white lights of the hospital corridor, the delicate and soft skin below the collarbone was also coated with an alluring halo.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Wen Shui followed her words and her gaze fell on the only source of milk in the hospital corridor.

"You little brat, didn't you just say you were taken advantage of?" Kudo Yukiko stared at Wen Shui in disbelief, then tightened the collar of her shirt.

Wen Shui shrugged: "We've already suffered all the losses, wouldn't it be even more of a loss if we didn't take some benefits?"

"Don't think about it!"

Yukiko Kudo looked at the warm water with a wary expression.

At this moment, the nurse who had been administering the medication to Xiaolan came out of the room pushing a trolley: "The medication has been finished. The patient may wake up in the middle of the night, or she may wake up tomorrow morning. It all depends on her recovery."

Wen Shui: "Thank you for your help."

The young nurse shook her head, glancing curiously at Wen Shui and Kudo Yukiko before leaving, wondering if she had overheard their conversation.

Wen Shui and Yukiko pushed open the door to the ward. It was a private room, and Ran was lying quietly on the bed. Her expression didn't seem to be in as much pain as before.

The two sat on the edge of the bed, watching Xiaolan's peaceful sleeping face, and their moods involuntarily became calm.

About ten minutes later, Wen Shui's phone suddenly rang.

He came out of the ward, stood at the end of the corridor, took out his phone to answer, and found that it was Vermouth calling him downstairs.

Although she didn't know what the other party wanted to do, since he was her boss after all, Wen Shui had no choice but to go back to the ward and say that she was going out to buy some coffee and drinks, leaving Kudo Yukiko to stay with Ran.

While taking the elevator downstairs.

The clues she had seen in the restaurant kept flashing through Wen Shui's mind, and the terms "Maori elimination method" kept popping up. It seemed that even when her mind was blank, Wen Shui was already thinking using her subconscious.

With that thought in mind, Wen Shui got into the SUV parked across from the hospital.

Vermouth had changed into a black leather outfit that allowed her to move around easily; it seemed she had just gone on a mission.

However, Wen Shui didn't smell any blood on her, but there was a strong smell of smoke, so she guessed that today's mission didn't require killing anyone.

Vermouth inquired carefully about Xiaolan's condition, and then instructed Wenshui to accompany her on a mission in a while.

Wen Shui was extremely unwilling, and deliberately made her expression somewhat aloof, hoping that Vermouth would "be sensible".

Vermouth had indeed figured it out and comforted her, "Don't worry, you won't be treated unfairly this time."

"There's money to be made?" Wen Shui raised an eyebrow. "How much can I make? And can it be transferred to the organization's account instead of being my pocket money?"

Vermouth gave a wry smile: "You really think I'm the boss of the organization, huh?"

Wen Shui replied sincerely, "Who is the boss? I don't know him. All I know is that we are now close partners."

"How much do you want?" Vermouth sighed. "But let's make it clear beforehand, if you want the money, you have to take certain risks. You can't try to take advantage of the situation."

"Of course, but I'll make it clear beforehand that I won't do anything too dangerous." Wen Shui also stated her bottom line beforehand.

Vermouth nodded: "No problem. Since you have an idea, I'll find someone else to help carry the bags."

So I used to be a bag carrier? How pathetic.

Subsequently, Wen Shui expressed his desire to buy the villa owned by the Miyako family.

Vermouth was both amused and exasperated: "Buy a castle? Do you think you can earn that much money from just one mission?"

"It's just an unwanted castle, in a bad location, and dilapidated. Besides, I think you should be able to get a discount, right?" Wen Shui looked at her expectantly. Then she added, "If you buy it, you can see Xiao Lan when you occasionally come to the castle for vacation."

Vermouth thought for a moment: "Send me the information later, and I'll take a look and then decide."

Wen Shui's smile grew even brighter.

"By the way, do you want to go to the ward to see Xiaolan?" Wen Shui asked.

Vermouth shook her head gently: "No, if someone like me gets too close to Ran, it will cause her trouble."

“Indeed.” Wen Shui nodded in agreement.

A slight ripple appeared on Vermouth's usually calm face, and her lips twitched slightly: "Don't forget you're also a member of the Black Organization, and you were just plotting with me to use underhanded means to get the owner of the castle to give you a discount."

Wen Shui looked completely innocent: "I was forced to join. I could have gotten into the University of Tokyo and become the future Superintendent General of Police."

"Oh? So you have such a dream?" Vermouth brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "But I remember your grades were really bad, weren't they?"

Good night, Lady Vermouth.

Wen Shui opened the car door and got out, walking straight into the hospital without looking back.

Vermouth rubbed her forehead as she looked at Wen Shui's back through the car window, feeling that being with this kid was even more tiring than "persuading" that president earlier.

Is it really a good thing for Xiaolan to get too close to this kind of guy?

Before Vermouth could even drive off the street, Wen Shui sent her information about the Blue Castle.

"Oh, so this is this person's castle."

Vermouth looked at the message on her phone screen with surprise, then a playful expression, like a cat seeing a mouse, curled up at the corner of her mouth.

Since it's this castle, it's true that you can get your hands on it without spending too much money.

However, how can this bait be used to turn Wen Shui and Shu into obedient servants? At the very least, it must be ensured that he does not become a burden to Xiao Lan.

Vermouth began to devise a plan to squeeze out the lukewarm water.

at the same time.

Back in the ward, Wen Shui was also facing unexpected pressure.

Chapter 151: Acting coquettishly with Xiaolan in the hospital bed? Wrestling?

When Wen Shui took the elevator back to her ward on the 23rd floor, Xiao Lan had already woken up.

However, he discovered that Yukiko Kudo was not in the room.

It was the same young nurse who had been looking at them with gossipy eyes. She was sitting on the edge of the bed chatting with Xiaolan. The testing equipment at the head of the bed had been removed, and both of them had relaxed and happy expressions on their faces.

When the two saw Wen Shui come in, their expressions were somewhat ambiguous, and it was unclear what they had been whispering to each other.

Could it be that he told Ran about calling Yukiko Kudo "Mom"?

Wen Shui felt somewhat uneasy.

"You're awake, Xiaolan." Wen Shui walked to the bedside. "The doctor just said you might not wake up until tomorrow morning, but I didn't expect you to wake up so soon."

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I have outstanding physical fitness."

That's true. High school girls generally can't just smash a telephone pole, let alone dodge a handgun bullet.

However, even the most physically fit person will not be able to withstand not getting enough rest. This time, Xiaolan fainted because she didn't get enough sleep.

Wen Shui said with a stern face, "No matter how healthy you are, you can't afford not to rest properly."

"Okay, I'll get some rest. I'm sorry for troubling you all." Xiaolan playfully stuck out her tongue.

Wen Shui looked around: "By the way, where did Miss Kudo go?"

"Miss Mori said she wants to go home to rest and doesn't plan to stay in the ward overnight. Your mother went downstairs to pay the bill and pick up some medications," the young nurse explained.

Wen Shui's expression froze instantly.

As expected, the nurse overheard it.

What puzzled him was that Ran didn't seem to have any particular reaction, as if Yukiko Kudo really was his mother.

"Then I won't bother you two any longer." The nurse picked up the notebook beside her and whispered as she passed by Wen Shui, "Wen Shui, you'd better treat Miss Mouri well, it's not easy to find such a good girl these days."

"Thank you very much for your suggestion, Ms. Akiko."

Xiao Lan quickly got off the bed and said goodbye to the nurse.

After Nurse Akiko left, only Wenshui and Xiaolan remained in the room.

Perhaps to allow the patient to rest better, only a small bedside lamp was turned on in the room, and with the curtains drawn, the light in the ward was not sufficient.

Xiaolan and Wenshui exchanged a glance.

"Miss Akiko just now..."

"That nurse..."

The two stopped talking at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled.

Wen Shui shrugged: "You ask first."

Ran: "What did Ms. Akiko say to you before she left?"

"It's nothing, just telling you to get some rest and not stay up late," Wen Shui said.

"Really?" Xiaolan looked at him suspiciously, walked up to him and stared at him with her big, watery eyes. "Good friends will lose points if they lie directly."

Wen Shui sighed, "Okay, she probably misunderstood that we're a couple and wants me to be nicer to you."

"I knew it." Xiaolan took a step back and sat on the edge of the bed.
