Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

"Huh? You actually made that wish?" Yukiko Kudo exclaimed in shock. "Didn't I tell you I came here to pray for the success of the movie shoot? How did you end up with me?"

"The combined strength of two people should be more effective, right?" Wen Shui shrugged.

"But……"

Yukiko Kudo hesitated, because she had only bought two fortune slips for herself, and thought that Wenshui would pray for him.

Yukiko Kudo gave the two opportunities respectively to filming a movie and to wish her family health and safety. As mentioned earlier, Ran was just deliberately reminding her to use warm water.

Unexpectedly, Wen Shui also joined her in praying for a smooth film shoot.

A sense of guilt welled up deep in Yukiko's heart.

She immediately wanted to go back and buy another fortune slip, but when her gaze fell on the diagram posted at the entrance of the main hall, she pulled her leg back.

"What's wrong? Did you get possessed by a monster?" Wen Shui asked Yukiko curiously.

Yukiko Kudo snapped out of her daze and splashed some lukewarm water with her little fist: "What are you talking about? I was just thinking about whether I left anything behind. Okay, let's go to the comic convention."

"Oh, I thought you would make up an excuse to refuse." Wen Shui looked at her in surprise.

Yukiko Kudo rolled her eyes with a charming expression: "What do you take me for? But let me make this clear beforehand, I'm not going to wear a cow costume and ring a bell for you."

"I know, there's no need to keep emphasizing it, is there?" Wen Shui said.

“I’m just reminding you not to go too far. Remember I’m your elder,” Yukiko said.

Wen Shui suddenly had a bright idea: "How about a bunny girl?"

"dream!"

Where's the cat-eared girl?

"Neither."

Wen Shui added, "I mean the kind without a tail."

"You little rascal..."

The two walked towards the temple gate while arguing.

However, before they even reached the door, Yukiko Kudo received a phone call from Sonoko Suzuki.

"What? You mean Xiaolan suddenly disappeared?"

Yukiko Kudo's expression changed slightly. At this moment, she didn't bother to explain the cause and effect and simply handed the phone to Wen Shui.

Wenshui was also completely confused. Weren't Ran and Sonoko busy with club matters? And if Ran disappeared, why would Sonoko call Yukiko Kudo?

After receiving the call, Wen Shui quickly learned the whole story. It turned out that the trip to Kumamoto was a scheme set up by Xiao Lan and her friends and Kudo Yukiko.

However, recalling that Xiaolan seemed to have been knocked unconscious and tied up in the warehouse by the criminals, Wen Shui's eyes immediately turned icy cold.

And the lukewarm water had an icy gaze.

This caused Yukiko Kudo to subconsciously take a step back, her face showing an uneasy expression as if she had done something wrong.

.

The preparation area at the Fire Country Cup tennis tournament.

After Sonoko Suzuki hung up the phone, the members of the Detective Boys immediately gathered around.

Conan quickly followed up, "Isn't Ran with Aunt Kudo?"

“No.” Sonoko Suzuki shook her head. “But I’ve already told them about it. Nuku is over there too. He’s so capable, he should be able to find Ran soon.”

Conan was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

Xiao Lan was his childhood sweetheart. When they were little, no one could find Xiao Lan during hide-and-seek, but he was always the one who found her.

Damn it, even if it costs me my detective dignity, I absolutely cannot let that brat Wen Shui get there first.

"But we can't just sit here and wait to die," Conan said. "Sonoko-neechan, has Ran-neechan shown any signs of being off lately?"

Sonoko: "No, I was discussing tactics with Ran before I went to the bathroom."

Sitting next to her, Ai Haibara calmly analyzed, "If we haven't seen Ran-neechan at the restaurant either, the most likely explanation is that it's related to the owner of that phone."

"Could it be... a kidnapping?" Kojima Genta exclaimed.

"Kidnapping?!"

The others were also taken aback by this speculation.

Just then, a sleepy-eyed Kogoro Mouri walked over with a support flag: "Why do you all look so serious? Did you lose the game?"

"It hasn't started yet, Uncle!" Sonoko immediately rushed over and grabbed Kogoro Mouri's collar. "Uncle, I can't get through to you on the phone. Have you seen Ran?"

Kogoro Mouri was clearly still hungover: "Phone? I didn't hear it. What's wrong with Ran?"

Conan: "Ran-neechan has disappeared."

"Maybe she's been kidnapped," Ayumi added with a worried expression.

"Kidnapping?!" Kogoro Mouri was immediately jolted awake. "What on earth is going on?"

Sonoko and Conan recounted the whole story to Kogoro Mouri, who unusually entered a fighting stance.

However, just as everyone was about to contact the police, Sonoko's phone rang.

"Huh? Is that Ran calling?" Sonoko exclaimed.

Conan: "Answer it quickly, it might be a distress call made secretly behind the criminals' backs."

Sonoko Suzuki pressed the answer button, and then Ran described what was outside the window of the place where she was kidnapped, but she was interrupted halfway through her story.

Now everyone is even more certain that Xiaolan has been kidnapped.

Just then, Yukiko Kudo, who arrived late, brought some news.

"What? You mean Wen Shui went to find Ran alone?" Conan's face showed a complicated expression.

.

Xiaolan was on the phone when the thugs discovered her.

The three thugs who plotted to kill the senator looked at Xiaolan, whose hands and feet were tied, with rather unpleasant expressions.

The bespectacled kidnapper, Hideki Mamiya, and his girlfriend, Mikiko, exchanged a glance. After all, it was their first time committing a crime, and a faint unease appeared in their eyes.

Mikiko couldn't help but say, "She might have already called the police. Maybe we should just let it go?"

"Give up? We've planned for so long, are we just going to give up because of this woman?" The leader, Tsuchiya Akira, walked up to Ran with a cold face and crushed Ran's phone in front of her.

"I'm sorry, miss, we don't want to hurt you either, but for the sake of our plan, we'll have to make you bear with it for now," Doi Akira said coldly.

“Mikiko, take her to another warehouse. We need to figure out a way to make sure no one finds this place before the tennis tournament awards ceremony.”

Xiao Lan was unable to resist because her hands and feet were bound.

Hideki Mamiya's girlfriend, Mikiko, easily stuffed Ran into a sack and dragged her to another place that looked like a temporary warehouse.

Then, the kind-hearted Ms. Mikiko gave Ran a sip of water to quench her thirst, comforted her not to worry, and then locked the door and left.

The door was tightly shut, and Xiaolan looked towards the entrance with a sense of despair.

Although the two men said they wouldn't hurt her, how could she believe such a thing so easily? Besides, this group clearly wanted to do something that the police couldn't find out about.

Is it related to tennis?

Could it be... a bombing?

Xiaolan suddenly felt a pang of regret, because many people might have been hurt because of her.

If I had known, I wouldn't have lied to Wen Shui. If I had come with Wen Shui, he would have noticed the problem with the phone beforehand, and she wouldn't have ended up here.

Just then, the door was opened from the outside.

Bathed in the warm midday sun, the person who appeared at the door was...

Warm water and trees.

Xiao Lan's face lit up with surprise: "Wen Shui Jun, what brings you here?"

"Of course I'm here to save you. Are you alright?" Wen Shui walked over and squatted down next to Xiao Lan.

Wen Shui descended from the sky like a knight in a movie, looking at her with gentle concern, which made Xiao Lan's heart feel like it was melting.

However, Xiaolan was more worried that the thugs might harm innocent people, and said urgently:

"Hurry up and untie the rope for me, those thugs might come back at any time."

Wen Shui sat down next to Xiao Lan and gently shook her head: "That won't do. You should be punished for lying to me, right?"

Chapter 166 The punishment was being spat on by Xiaolan?

Xiao Lan was initially quite excited, but when she heard that Wen Shui was going to punish her, she immediately shrank into the corner.

After all, what happened that night at the warm water boarding school was still fresh in my mind.

Recalling how Wen Shui had severely punished Eri in front of her photo, Ran's pert buttocks suddenly felt a tingling sensation.

A tingling sensation spread along her long, slender thighs, across her fair, delicate calves and bound ankles. Her soft little feet, encased in sneakers and white cotton socks, tensed up unconsciously, and her tiny, delicate toes curled up into a ball.

Wen Shui kept a straight face:

"You actually think you can escape punishment? It seems that if we don't teach you a lesson, you might do something even more worrying next time."

"No, that's not it, I..." Xiaolan realized there was a wall behind her and she couldn't back up. "I just wanted to give you a surprise."

Wen Shui smiled and moved closer to Xiao Lan, the girl's pleasant fragrance and the smell of her sweat filling her nostrils:

"I know, so I'm planning to give you a surprise too."

"Pervert!" Ran's eyes widened. "To attack a beautiful girl who can't move? That's just too awful!"

"Don't you know that this kind of beautiful girl is actually the complete form?" Wen Shui deliberately revealed a villainous, wicked smile.

When Xiaolan realized that persuasion was ineffective, she had no choice but to change her target: "By the way, where are the people who tied me up here?"

"I knocked him unconscious," Wen Shui said. "Don't worry, I've locked the door, no one will bother us."

Actually, if he wasn't worried about Xiaolan having a bad impression of him, Wen Shui would have thrown those two people into the sea long ago. Breaking the couple's hands was already too lenient for them.

Xiaolan looked worried: "You didn't hit too hard, did you? That lady is actually a good person, and I don't think they wanted to harm me. They just didn't want me to leak the information."
