Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Binga, relying on his outstanding performance in several missions in South Africa, began to try to seize power, which annoyed Gin a lot.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news."

Gin looked up at the TV screen, watching the broadcast of Wen Shui and Shu being surrounded by several girls, and couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

.

Under pressure from Nukumizu and persuaded by Sonoko, Tachikawa Masato finally laid down his sword.

The helicopter pilot was initially stunned by Wen Shui's bold move.

However, it was later discovered that this was indeed the fastest solution. The pilot also showed admiration for the warm water and even specially landed the plane over the tennis court.

Throw down the rope ladder for Wen Shui and Miss Yuanzi to go down.

The main point was to let Wenshui receive the cheers and applause of a hero.

However, as soon as Wen Shui landed, he was surrounded by two beautiful girls dressed in tennis outfits.

Xiaolan's face was displeased: "Hmph, you actually abandoned me and ran away, Wen Shui Jun, you're so mean."

Wen Shui knew that Xiao Lan was deliberately putting on an act for everyone to see, so he didn't take it to heart.

On the contrary, Sonoko Suzuki seemed genuinely angry, glaring at Nukami with hostility.

Wen Shui quickly admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I was too anxious at the time, it was my fault."

Just then, Kogoro Mouri rushed over and grabbed Nuku Shui by the collar: "This kid is so unreliable, he actually left Ran to investigate the case."

Conan and the others who followed closely behind nodded in agreement.

Even Ai Haibara, who is usually dissatisfied with the close relationship between Wen Shui and Ran, sided with Ran this time.

Kogoro Mouri continued, "He's just like that bastard Shinichi Kudo. Damn it, why do all the people my daughter knows are like this? I will never entrust Ran to a bastard like you."

Xiaolan, who was still trying to put on a show of feigning anger, blushed bright red and said, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Conan looked exasperated.

However, it seems that Wen Shui's favorability towards Xiao Lan has dropped quite a bit this time, so it looks like she can hold out for a while longer.

Once Ai Haibara develops the antidote for aptx-4869, it will be her time to shine.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Ayumi: "Conan-kun, your expression is so scary."

"Ah...no, I was actually thinking about what to eat for dinner," Conan quickly explained.

At the mention of food, Sonoko Suzuki immediately perked up: "Let's go to that restaurant with the really good horse meat from yesterday tonight, just to calm Ran down."

Ayumi cheered, "Yay! We can eat meat now!"

"Great! To celebrate the Junior Detective League's outstanding performance in the tennis match, I'm going to eat a lot today." Genta Kojima also smiled happily.

Sonoko Suzuki looked down at the kids and said, "Hey you guys, it looks like you got beaten pretty badly in the match just now and lost, right?"

“What does it matter? Sonoko-neechan, don’t you always say that participation is the most important thing?” Genta retorted.

Sonoko was taken aback: "When did I say such a thing?"

"When I failed to strike up a conversation with a handsome guy," Yuan Tai said seriously.

Sonoko Suzuki raised her fist, ready to fight Genta: "Damn it, you little brat with the rice ball head, how dare you mock me."

Xiao Lan quickly stopped Yuan Zi.

Sonoko Suzuki glared angrily at Genta, while glancing worriedly at Nukusui, and said to herself, "I haven't chatted with anyone for the past year, so don't you dare slander me, you brat."

"Sonoko, Genta was just joking," Ran advised. "Besides, you really haven't succeeded in hitting on anyone before."

Sonoko Suzuki looked at Ran speechlessly.

However, she noticed that Wen Shui didn't seem to care about her flirting with the handsome guy. Was he really indifferent, or was he secretly angry?

Sonoko Suzuki wondered to herself whether she should try to test the waters that night.

At this moment, Ayumi suddenly said to Conan, "Alright then, let's talk about Conan and Ai's punishment tomorrow."

"What punishment?"

Ai Haibara and Conan both looked at Ayumi.

The three members of the Junior Detective Club shouted in unison, "Of course it's because you two abandoned us to go find Sister Xiaolan!!"

Conan couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Ai Haibara hid directly behind Nuku.

.

After discussing the follow-up matters with the local police department in Kumamoto, and because it was very close, the group walked directly to the restaurant where the horse meat was delicious.

On the way, Wen Shui asked curiously where Kudo Yukiko had gone.

As it turned out, Sonoko and Conan didn't know either. At the time, everyone was in a hurry to find Ran, and it seemed that they didn't see Yukiko Kudo after they went to the police station.

Wen Shui subconsciously assumed that she had gone to discuss film collaborations, but then suddenly remembered that the film collaborations were completely fabricated.

Wen Shui was startled.

Could it be that that stupid woman has been kidnapped too?

But then she thought, even in the world of Detective Conan, there wouldn't be so many kidnapping cases, especially since she disappeared after arriving at the police station. Even if someone were to kidnap someone, they wouldn't do it at the police station.

The only possibility is that Yukiko Kudo left on her own.

Considering that she conspired with Ran and Sonoko to deceive Wenshui before, it's also possible that she felt guilty and was embarrassed to meet him.

Honestly, even though she's someone's mother, her personality is as unpredictable as a teenage girl.

But then again, perhaps that's part of her unique charm.

After all, even someone as composed as Wen Shui would sometimes have her heart race when Yukiko inadvertently revealed her girlish charm.

Just as he was thinking, Conan suddenly raised his phone: "Shinichi sent me a message saying that Aunt Kudo has something to take care of and asked us to book a hotel room for her."

Everyone looked at the phone in his hand.

Kogoro Mouri snatched it and read it, then said with dissatisfaction, "Yukiko is just like she was in her student days, leaving without even saying goodbye."

"They probably have something important to do," Sonoko Suzuki interjected. "I'll call the hotel to book a room later. By the way, Venusui, are you staying here too?"

Wen Shui nodded: "I'll share a room with Uncle Maoli."

Uncle Mori immediately became unhappy, as he was planning to visit the pachinko parlor that evening: "You brat, I don't want to sleep with you."

"Then I'll sleep in the same room as Xiaolan," Wen Shui said jokingly.

"That's not allowed!!!" Several people, including Sonoko Suzuki and Ran, shouted at Nukumi.

Conan looked at Wen Shui and Xiao Ran with a resentful gaze, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Because Conan discovered something he hadn't expected.

In the past, Ran would definitely have rushed over to ask about Shinichi, but this time, Ran acted as if she hadn't heard the news at all, and was pestered by Sonoko to tell her about her kidnapping.

What Conan was even more concerned about was Ran's hesitant expression.

Could it be that……

.

After arriving at the restaurant, Wen Shui sent several more text messages to Kudo Yukiko, since they would be working together in the future and it wouldn't be good for their relationship to be too strained.

Of course, the reason why Wenshui was so proactive was definitely not because she wanted to see Mrs. Kudo wearing a cow-print dress.

"I'm not angry with you anymore, come and have dinner with me."

"The horse meat at this restaurant is delicious."

"If you hadn't come, I would have gotten Xiaolan drunk."

After sending several messages without receiving a reply from Yukiko Kudo, Wenshui had no choice but to send a final message saying that she would pack some things for her to take back to the hotel later, and then turned off her phone.

They began to feast.

At this moment, Wen Shui was unaware that Kudo Yukiko was kneeling alone on the cold floor of the inner sanctum of Asamiya Temple.

In front of her was a talisman with the names of Wenshui and Shu written on it, as well as a protective charm.

Mrs. Kudo recited the names of Wenshui and Shu with a devout expression, hoping to bring him good luck and reduce the number of murders he would encounter.

He wanted to use this to make up for the self-blame and guilt in his heart.

Chapter 170 Mrs. Kudo's Suspicious Trench Coat

The number of visitors to Asamizu Temple Park drops sharply in the evening.

Because apart from the temple, there are no other attractions here that can attract tourists from other places, and most tourists rarely choose to come to the temple to pray for blessings late at night.

Therefore, compared to the Kabukicho after nightfall, Asamizu-dera Temple feels more lonely and cold at night, and even the statues in the main hall look somewhat terrifying.

Yukiko Kudo knelt before the statue in the main hall, feeling a pang of regret.

I should have just bought some figurines and comic books for that Wen Shui kid at the comic convention as an apology.

However, because of a momentary lapse in judgment, Yukiko felt that simply spending money wouldn't eliminate her inner guilt and remorse. So she thought of using the method of praying for good luck for Wenshui as compensation for deceiving him.

Unexpectedly, this put her in this predicament.

My knees hurt so much, and I only ate one pineapple bun this afternoon, I'm so hungry...

Conan said they went out for horse meat dinner that night, even though they had chosen a restaurant beforehand hoping to have a good meal...

Damn it, why do I have to suffer like this?

Yukiko Kudo wanted to get up and leave more than once, but every time she made the decision, the image of Onami in the temple courtyard would appear in her mind, saying as if it were a matter of course that she would pray for the smooth filming of her movie.

I recall the pure, unadulterated look in Wen Shui's eyes.

Yukiko's heart was easily melted.

Since the money has already been paid, wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted if I left now?

Yukiko Kudo tried to convince herself, gritted her teeth and persevered, focusing on the current prayer ceremony, hoping that when she returned with the lucky charm she had obtained, the warm water's reaction would make up for her mental distress.
