Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

After saying goodbye to the little girl, Wen Shui and Professor Agasa left the flower shop with the kids.

Logically, the next step should be to go to the station to inquire about Mitsuhiko's whereabouts.

But Ayumi and Genta are still just kids. They had just been arguing, and as soon as they stepped out of the flower shop, they were attracted by a large ice cream machine standing in front of the convenience store next to the flower shop.

"Professor, shall we have some ice cream first?" Ayumi looked at Professor Agasa pitifully.

Yuan Tai: "Sherlock Holmes would also replenish his energy before setting off on an investigation."

"Sherlock Holmes would never eat ice cream," Conan couldn't help but retort.

Haibara sighed and took out a leather wallet: "Alright, let's grab a bite to eat and rest for a bit. I'll treat everyone to ice cream."

"Great!"

"Ai is the best!"

Ayumi and Genta cheered happily.

But that wallet looks familiar, especially the change inside that's missing a corner. It looks like it was given to me by the lady at the convenience store across from Teitan Department Store.

Wen Shui rubbed his eyes and then realized that it was his wallet.

"You bastard, why are you using my wallet to treat us?" Wen Shui walked up to Ai Haibara and questioned her while everyone was eating ice cream.

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes: "Where's the emergency communicator I put in your wallet?"

Warm Water: "Uh..."

Although Ai Haibara was referring to an emergency communicator, its shape was disguised as a photo of a handsome young man from a brothel district, and it even looked a bit like Conan. Nukumizu didn't want to be perceived as having unusual fetishes.

I threw that thing away a long time ago.

Of course, all of this was definitely done on Ai Haibara's part.

This guy is actually starting to show signs of being a yandere. I wonder if life in the future will be as wonderful as I imagined. Wen Shui is a little uncertain.

"Hmph, you womanizer." Ai Haibara handed the wallet back to Wen Shui with dissatisfaction. "I'll make you a new one when I get back."

Warm Water clasped her hands together and said, "Please, please don't use Conan as a template anymore."

"Okay, let's use Professor Agasa this time." Ai Haibara lightly ran her tongue over the ice cream, her face showing a terrifying expression as if she were looking at a lab rat.

Wen Shui was speechless.

Then I looked at Ai Haibara's pink tongue, covered in ice cream cream.

My heart couldn't help but race a little.

While everyone was eating ice cream in front of the convenience store, the man from the White Horse Express drove back onto the street and parked his car in front of the convenience store this time.

Then the man got out of the car, went to the convenience store, picked up a box, and put it in the car.

Wen Shui couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle, can you deliver anything?"

"As long as it's not illegal or too expensive, we can help with delivery." The deliveryman laughed heartily and handed Wen Shui a business card.

"Can I place the order now?"

"Of course, what would you like to give?" the uncle said. "If you want to give ice cream to your girlfriend, there will be an extra charge for keeping it warm."

Wen Shui shook her head: "Then please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Wen Shui turned around and went into the convenience store, where she bought a graduated glass baking flask from the daily necessities shelf.

Then I sent it to Yukiko Kudo.

Of course, his explanation to the public was that it was a prop needed for filming a movie, and he bought it because it looked suitable.

Wen Shui was thinking of preparing it first, just in case it really comes in handy someday. If all else fails, she could use it to intimidate Kudo Yukiko and make her not dare to play pranks again next time.

However, Conan's eyes clearly showed suspicion.

After finishing their ice cream, Professor Agasa led everyone to the place where the little girl said she saw Mitsuhiko that morning.

As soon as they got off the train, Ai Haibara grabbed Wen Shui's hand.

Wen Shui smiled and squeezed her soft little hand, the smooth feeling was very relaxing: "What's wrong? Can't walk anymore and want your brother to carry you?"

Wen Shui thought that Ai Haibara would get angry and kick him.

Who would have thought?

Ai Haibara, her face filled with terror, gripped his hand tightly and said:

"I... I sensed the presence of members of the Black Organization nearby."

Chapter 154 A Gift for "Mrs. Yukiko Nukumizu"

As soon as Kojima Genta and the others got off the train, they rushed out of the square in front of the station, unaware of Ai Haibara and Nukumizu behind them.

Wen Shui pretended to help Ai Haibara tidy her clothes, then glanced around out of the corner of her eye.

Because this is an open area, one can basically confirm at a glance that there are no suspicious people wearing black clothes within at least 200 meters.

"I didn't see it. Are you sure you're right?" Wen Shui asked.

Ai Haibara looked horrified: "There's absolutely no mistake, I'll never forget that evil aura."

Wen Shui: "That shouldn't be Gin and Vodka. They both wear suits when they go on missions, so they're easy to recognize."

"What should I do? Could they be here to arrest me?" Ai Haibara seemed a little uneasy, a stark contrast to her assertive demeanor at the convenience store entrance just moments before.

Wen Shui pinched her little cheek and comforted her, "Don't worry, it's not certain who it is yet. Besides, have you forgotten that we have connections in the winery?"

"Connections?"

Ai Haibara blinked.

Wen Shui nodded, then took out her phone and called Vermouth: "Hey, can you check if anyone's been on a mission near the Beikacho bus stop?"

There was silence for a moment.

Vermouth replied in a speechless tone, "Do you think I'm your nanny? Don't forget, I'm your boss now."

Wen Shui smiled and said, "Didn't you say last time that we were close partners? I brought my child here to play, and it would be such a shame if we encountered a murder."

"Wait for me five minutes."

Vermouth said irritably, and then hung up the phone.

Ai Haibara calmed down a bit, but hearing the tone of Nuwa's voice when she called Vermouth, she couldn't help but ask, "I didn't expect you two to get along so well."

"It's just an act. Your sister is still in her hands, so you have to maintain a good relationship with her." Wen Shui shrugged.

Ai Haibara's eyes dimmed, and she said softly, "Thank you."

Wen Shui gently rubbed her head: "Don't be so polite. Don't forget, we're the closest of partners, the kind who'd die together."

The fear and unease in Ai Haibara's eyes gradually disappeared under the soothing warmth of the water.

Just then, Genta's voice came from the front: "Ai, what are you two doing in the back? Come over here and help us find that driver!"

"You guys go ahead, Wen Shui and I have something to discuss," Ai Haibara replied.

Genta pointed to a row of buses parked behind him: "Then hurry up, I'll go over there with Professor Agasa and the others first."

Conan glanced at Ai Haibara and Nukamaru from afar. It was clear that Conan was also curious about what Nukamaru and Ai Haibara were whispering about, but because of his status, he could only pretend not to see it and went with the Junior Detective League to find out more.

Soon after, Vermouth sent a message.

[It's Bourbon; he seems to be investigating someone named Numabuchi Kiichiro.]

Wen Shui looked at her phone screen and slapped her forehead. How could she have forgotten that there was a fugitive from a black-clad organization in this case?

If I remember correctly, besides Mitsuhiko's disappearance, the biggest highlight of this case was Numabuchi Kiichiro's escape from prison.

However, what Wen Shui didn't expect was why the Black Organization would care so much about a nobody like Numabuchi Kiichiro, and even send Bourbon to capture him.

Could it be within this timeline?

Is Numabuchi Kiichiro not just a low-level henchman, but someone who has been involved in the Black Organization's core secrets?

Regardless, at least we know that the people lurking around here aren't Gin or Vodka.

Amuro Tooru shouldn't pose a threat to Haibara Ai; at least we should be a little careful.

Wen Shui showed the phone to Ai Haibara: "Look, it's not Gin and vodka, it's bourbon."

“Numabuchi Kiichiro?” Ai Haibara frowned slightly. “I seem to remember this person. When I returned to the organization from studying abroad, he was one of those people in the laboratory who were tricked into becoming human test subjects.”

"And then what happened?" Wen Shui asked curiously.

Ai Haibara: "I heard she ran away, but I don't know the specifics. Because I don't agree with human experimentation, the organization handed those projects over to others. The teams I led later were relatively clean."

When Ai Haibara mentioned the word "relatively clean".

There was a clear and intense emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

Wen Shui patted her shoulder: "Don't overthink it. You've already done a lot. Don't be too hard on yourself."

Ai Haibara nodded slightly.

Wen Shui: "Alright, now that we know it's Bourbon coming, we don't need to worry for the time being. As long as you don't act too mature, he won't notice."

Ai Haibara: "Yes, I will do my best to perform. I have been practicing every day recently, just to prepare for this kind of moment."

"Shall we test it first?" Wen Shui tentatively suggested.

How do we test it?

Wen Shui stood up: "For example, when we're looking for Mitsuhiko later, what if we happen to run into Bourbon, and you feel tired from walking too much?"

Ai Haibara's lips twitched slightly, but she still managed a childish smile: "Warm Water Brother, hug me~"

Warm water reached out and picked up Ai Haibara.

Her body felt light and airy, like a kitten a few months old.

Soft hair pressed against her face in warm water, a pleasant milky scent wafted over, and her delicate, flawless face made one want to take a bite.

Ai Haibara whispered in his ear, "If you dare kiss me, I'll kill you!"

"Not cute at all, Bourbon will notice that," Wen Shui teased.

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes: "I only need to imitate Ayumi and Genta's usual behavior, I don't need to cling to adults like this."
