Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Vermouth ignored Wen Shui's flattery: "Then let's do it in two days. Come to Kumamoto and we'll make some plans together."

Wen Shui hesitated for a moment: "I'm going fishing with Xiao Lan at the beach the day after tomorrow, and someone has invited Kogoro Mouri to dinner. Could we change the time to tomorrow?"

"I have something to do tomorrow." Vermouth thought for a moment, "Never mind, let's talk about it when you get back from fishing."

"Okay, that's all for now." Wen Shui said, about to hang up the phone.

Vermouth suddenly asked, "By the way, where do you fish?"

Wen Shui was startled. Could this woman also be trying to join in the fun? He didn't want to get too close to Vermouth normally. Who knew how many Interpol agents were investigating her? It would be a big problem if she were targeted.

Wen Shui tentatively asked, "You wouldn't be thinking of coming along too, would you?"

Vermouth smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't cause Lan any trouble."

Please also consider my safety, okay?

Wen Shui then gave Vermouth a rough address, though he wasn't actually sure of the exact location.

"I understand. I'll appear under an unexpected identity. You'd better control your emotions and make sure no one notices anything amiss." Vermouth hung up the phone after saying that.

Wen Shui listened to the busy tone coming from the phone's receiver.

An unexpected identity?

I have a feeling that this ordinary fishing trip will turn into a major event that will make the front page of the newspaper because of Vermouth's involvement.

Wen Shui was somewhat worried.

Just then, there was an impatient knocking at the door, probably because someone was getting impatient waiting outside.

She pretended to rinse her hands with warm water, then washed them. When she opened the door, she was surprised to find Sonoko Suzuki standing there.

Sonoko Suzuki's mouth gaped slightly in surprise, then she immediately switched to a gossipy expression:

"Why have you been inside for so long? I just heard a woman's voice. You weren't doing something naughty, were you?"

Chapter 174 With the help of warm water, Sonoko Suzuki burned herself to ashes.

"Who would go to the airplane toilet to do that for no reason, especially right before getting off the plane? It makes no sense at all," Wen Shui retorted confidently.

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe you'll get a unique kind of pleasure from this sense of urgency."

Sonoko Suzuki looked serious, as if she was analyzing the probability of this.

Wen Shui raised her hand and flicked her forehead: "I'm telling you, stop reading those weird comics, you're corrupting Xiao Lan."

"It hurts!" Sonoko Suzuki rubbed her forehead. "What does it matter? Quite a few girls in my class secretly watch too. I'm just using this method to make up for it... Eh? Wait a minute."

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly realized: "What do you mean by corrupting Ran? How has Ran become corrupt?"

Wen Shui was startled.

Oh no, I accidentally blurted out the truth. How am I supposed to explain this now? Should I just say that when Xiaolan was being affectionate with him in the warehouse, I accidentally revealed some of the strange knowledge points you taught her?

Even if Sonoko doesn't care, Ran probably can't accept it in her current state.

Perhaps in time, Xiaolan will be forced to fast-forward to the crossroads of decision-making, disrupting the current balanced and beautiful state.

Wen Shui quickly explained, "It means that you sometimes come up with some shocking opinions and ideas, the kind that make the boys in the class blush and run away when they hear them."

Sonoko Suzuki: "Wh..."

Warm Water interrupted her directly: "I think even the boldest things in comics can't compare to the excitement of experiencing love yourself. Sonoko-chan, you should try to find your own love."

By the way, if you need any help from me, feel free to come to me anytime. We're very close friends!

After saying that, Wen Shui revealed an impeccable smile.

Then, with an upright expression, he brushed past Sonoko Suzuki and walked towards the cabin.

It took Suzuki Sonoko a long time to recover after watching Wenshui's flustered departure.

"Damn it, don't talk about me like some kind of delinquent hottie. And... and, how can I even bring myself to say 'help' out?"

Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but recall the countless sleepless nights she had spent in the dead of night.

Clamping the blanket between her legs, she imagined calling for warm water to "help" in her mind, and her small earlobes, covered by her short brown hair, suddenly flushed red.

She quickly went into the bathroom and locked the door.

He suddenly realized that because he had been in the warm water for a long time and had not taken care of his bodily needs, he was in the cramped space of the cabin toilet.

Besides the faint scent of air freshener, there was also a very noticeable smell of warm water on my body.

Sonoko Suzuki's eyes gradually became misty, and they seemed to be developing into a heart shape.

Just as Sonoko leaned against the wall, her slender fingertips touched the hem of her skirt.

She suddenly came to her senses.

No, no, this is an airplane! Stay calm, don't do anything that will scare away the introverted boys in the class.

.

After returning to her seat, Wen Shui was a little worried that Sonoko might notice.

After waiting for a long time, Sonoko Suzuki finally returned late.

Moreover, Wen Shui noticed that Suzuki Sonoko didn't dare to look him in the eye and ignored Ran. After returning, she sat alone in her seat, looking out the window at the ground crew directing the plane, and her expression looked very strange.

Xiaolan asked with concern, "What's wrong, Yuanzi? Are you feeling unwell?"

Sonoko Suzuki was startled and covered her face with her hands: "N-nothing, I'm just a little dizzy, maybe it's airsickness?"

"Airsickness?" Conan couldn't help but interject. "Sonoko-neechan, didn't you fly a helicopter in Hawaii before? How come you suddenly get airsick?"

Sonoko Suzuki glared at Conan's questioning: "Is it not allowed? Helicopters are so small and easy to control. This passenger plane is so big, it's easy to make people dizzy."

Conan: "But generally speaking, aren't larger airplanes less likely to experience turbulence?"

Sonoko Suzuki was speechless.

Then she chose the simplest method, punching Conan on the head to give him a big red bump, thus ending the conversation.

Fortunately, in everyone's impression, Sonoko Suzuki's personality is second only to Yukiko Kudo.

No one would find it strange if she acted a little more unconventional, which allowed Sonoko to get away with it.

And so, the group emerged from the airport in a grand procession.

Since she didn't have much luggage, the airport security check was over quickly. As soon as Yukiko Kudo got out of the airport, she hurriedly tried to leave, but Conan stopped her.

Since Kogoro Mouri had already arranged for a car to pick them up, Conan found Yukiko's desire to leave alone very suspicious.

In addition, Xiaolan is also trying to portray herself as someone who is still angry with Wen Shui for choosing to investigate the case.

Even Sonoko Suzuki used the excuse of feeling a bit airsick and wanting to get some fresh air outside to leave the group.

Wen Shui suddenly became a lonely figure, ignored by everyone.

What puzzled Wen Shui even more was that these three people seemed to have something to hide, so they all chose not to talk to each other.

Wait a minute, why does Sonoko Suzuki seem to have something to hide?

Could it be that she just said she had already guessed his relationship with Xiaolan?

Wen Shui was a little unsure, so he decided to take the initiative to test the waters.

.

As she exited the airport, Sonoko Suzuki looked at the familiar streets of Beika Town and sighed, "In the end, it was all for nothing. Not only did I fail to demonstrate my abilities to Numizu-kun, but I also caused Ran to be kidnapped by bad guys."

"Does my path to love always have to be so bumpy...?"

Sonoko Suzuki sighed and kicked at the pebbles on the ground with the tip of her shoe.

"Which handsome guy have you set your sights on this time?" Wen Shui's teasing voice came from behind.

Suzuki Sonoko was startled and turned around to find that Wen Shui had appeared behind her at some point: "W-when did you get here?"

"Just now."

"When did you start hearing about it?" Sonoko Suzuki pressed.

Warm Water: "Your love life and stuff."

Sonoko Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he hadn't heard the most crucial part.

Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief, because judging from the content of Suzuki Sonoko's sighs, it was probably similar to when she was in school, lamenting why she couldn't meet any handsome guys.

Just to be on the safe side, Wen Shui decided to reveal a little about the castle: "By the way, I might have a gift for you in a while."

"What gift?" Sonoko Suzuki's eyes lit up, like a dog smelling a bone, and she even licked her lips.

Wen Shui touched the tip of her nose: "You'll find out when the time comes, it's a secret for now."

"Huh?"

Sonoko Suzuki looked displeased: "You came all this way just to talk about this? How can you do this, starting to tease people so early?"

Wen Shui said matter-of-factly, "I saw you were engrossed in the world of comic books all day, so I wanted to give you some anchors in the real world."

"Damn it, you're making me sound like some kind of otaku girl from the world of anime and manga." Sonoko Suzuki poked Onami's waist frantically with her slender fingers.

Her nails were specially designed for this competition, featuring a fluorescent green tennis pattern that contrasted sharply with her healthy tan skin.

Wen Shui took a step back, dodging Suzuki Sonoko's attack, and grabbed her slender wrist.

The delicate touch and wheat-colored skin created a striking contrast, and Wen Shui even had the illusion that her pulse was beating faster than before.

Sonoko Suzuki's voice trembled, and there was even a hint of fear in her eyes: "W-why are you grabbing my hand?"

"You poked me with your finger first, didn't you?" Wen Shui grabbed Yuanzi's wrist and waved it in front of her eyes like she was showing off a trophy.

Then, a faint fragrance emanated from the small, delicate palm of the garden.

He subconsciously brought his nose closer to smell it. It smelled like the hand sanitizer on the airplane, but why was it so strong?

"I just washed my hands. I washed them five times," Sonoko Suzuki said anxiously. She thought that Numi had discovered that she had secretly burned her hands.

However, Wen Shui's imagination wasn't that wild.

What Wen Shui was thinking was

No wonder it smells so strong. But is it really necessary to wash it five times? Girls just love being clean.
