Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui looked at her bright green nail polish and smiled: "I forgot to mention before, your new nail polish is quite pretty. It's a pity I couldn't cheer you and Xiao Lan on in the tennis match."

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly fell silent.

Besides being touched by Wen Shui's praise, the girl also felt nervous about being exposed. These two emotions intertwined, causing Suzuki Sonoko's brain to enter a semi-shutdown state.

She actually retaliated by putting her hand directly into the warm water in her mouth.

The lukewarm water was startled.

He didn't understand the logic behind Sonoko Suzuki's behavior at all, but he felt the girl's fingertips gently stirring in his mouth.

And that silky, smooth, wheat-colored skin, the feeling of your heart racing as it gently brushes against your taste buds.

Wen Shui subconsciously responded to Miss Suzuki's rudeness by wrapping her fingers around hers a few times and then leaving a few teeth marks on them with just the right amount of force.

Sonoko Suzuki's face immediately turned red, and she quickly gave in, much like how she had collapsed after imagining warm water in the bathroom earlier.

Wen Shui clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction: "Are you crazy? Why did you suddenly attack me?"

Sonoko Suzuki blushed, but tried her best to put on a mischievous smile, and waved her hand: "Hmph, let me show you what I'm capable of, remember this taste."

Wen Shui couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

However, looking at Sonoko Suzuki's wheat-colored skin covered with glistening saliva, shimmering with a captivating glow in the sunlight...

Wen Shui couldn't help but imagine the scenes that often appeared in the kind of manga that Sonoko liked to read.

Strange, have I been corrupted by Sonoko too? Wen Shui couldn't help but think to herself.

.

A few days later, Nukumizu and Sonoko Suzuki arrived at Enoshima, near Kanagawa Prefecture, as promised.

Today, Kogoro Mouri has come to the boat-shaped restaurant on Enoshima as invited, and Onomizu naturally won't miss out on this day of sea fishing and dining together.

But in fact, Kogoro Mouri did not invite Nuku Shui, and Ran was too embarrassed to invite him because she was currently in a "cold war" with Nuku Shui.

But this didn't stump Wen Shui and Xiao Lanyuanzi. In the past two days, they had secretly hidden in the sports equipment warehouse during their free time after class and had already come up with a plan to deal with the situation.

The plan was simple: have Wen Shui entangle Yuan Zi and appear at the invited event.

Kogoro Mouri usually receives a lot of help from Sonoko, so naturally he didn't forget to bring Sonoko along for a free meal. Even if he was unwilling, he wouldn't let Nukumi be embarrassed for Sonoko's sake.

This restaurant is described as a boat-shaped house, but it is actually just a large vintage boat.

However, the cabin has been transformed into a unique Japanese-style wooden house, with red lanterns hanging at the door and wooden sliding doors and windows.

Moreover, Wen Shui heard that this boat-shaped house can only accommodate one group of guests at a time, so if used to entertain guests, its style is no less sophisticated than some century-old establishments.

The sun was about to set, orange clouds floated in the sky, and a salty sea breeze swept over us. The whole scene was like an oil painting, making people stop and look.

Uncle Mori and Ran should have already entered the restaurant. On the deck, a waiter in a dark green uniform is wiping the ship's side with a cloth.

Another middle-aged man was standing on the deck with a fishing rod, quickly reeling in the line. Soon, a fish the size of a palm was thrown out of the water.

The man carefully removed the fish from the hook and released it back into the sea before turning and going into the cabin.

If I'm not mistaken, he was probably testing the performance of his fishing rod, but because it was shallow water, the fish he caught were very small.

Wen Shui looked around but didn't see anyone who resembled Vermouth.

The woman had previously said she would make her entrance in the most unexpected way.

Could it be...?

Is that the fish that was caught?

Wen Shui quickly dismissed this absurd idea. Even if Vermouth's disguise skills were incredibly powerful, there were still disguises she couldn't do, namely, pretending to be a child.

After all, her height is almost the standard for a model's figure, and she's quite well-endowed. It's already difficult for her to pretend to be a teenage girl, let alone a child.

Just then, the waitress who was wiping the ship's side with a rag cast a fleeting, cold glance at the warm water.

Warm water: "..."

Oh, so he's just a waiter.

This is not surprising at all, it's even better to pretend to be an invited guest, Wen Shui couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Sonoko Suzuki excitedly ran onto the deck: "Hello, we are friends of the Mori family."

"Are you Miss Sonoko?" Vermouth, disguised as a waiter, greeted him politely with a smile. "This way, please. Mr. Mori has just arrived as well."

"Thank you for your help," Sonoko replied politely.

Vermouth led the two to the restaurant entrance, and Sonoko Suzuki immediately took off her shoes and rushed inside.

Vermouth looked at Wen Shui coldly and said, "What kind of look was that just now? Do you have a problem with my disguise?"

Wen Shui: "No, I just thought you would make an entrance in a more difficult way."

"for example?"

Warm Water: "I thought you were going to turn into a fish and then suddenly start talking on the plate to scare us?"

Vermouth was stunned for a full five seconds before she could process what Wen Shui meant. She rubbed her temples and said, "It's a good thing we're business partners. If I were really your boss, you'd probably be fertilizer in the garden by now."

"How cruel," Wen Shui chuckled softly.

"Alright, hurry up and go in. Oh, by the way, besides the person who invited Kogoro Mouri, there's someone else who's here too," Vermouth instructed. "Don't be too surprised later."

Warm Water: "Who is it?"

Vermouth smiled mysteriously, then helped Wen Shui open the wooden sliding door of the boathouse and called out loudly, "Please come in, guest."

Filled with curiosity and confusion, Wen Shui walked toward the cabin from which lively conversation was taking place.

Chapter 175 Xiaolan's Thick Black Pantyhose is a Battlefield

Wenshui took off her shoes at the door and placed them next to Suzuki Sonoko's wedge-heeled strappy sandals, then helped her straighten them.

Next to Sonoko's shoes, there was a pair of black patent leather shoes neatly arranged.

Judging from the creases on the shoe surface, these should definitely be Xiaolan's shoes.

When Xiaolan wears these shoes, she usually pairs them with outfits that exude a youthful vibe, such as a JK uniform with black over-the-knee socks, or a princess dress with lace stockings.

Of course, Xiaolan would also occasionally choose styles that changed according to her mood.

For example, she could wear white ankle socks to accentuate her slender, fair legs. Or she could simply choose to wear thick black tights, giving her legs a mysterious, deep, yet slightly sheer texture.

Incidentally, if it happens to be a hot day, Xiaolan will exude a stronger, more intense girlish fragrance than usual.

Wen Shui thought it might be because the thick black stockings were too thick, causing Xiao Lan's sweat glands to work overtime.

The only thing that puzzled Wen Shui was why the girl's sweat, when mixed with antiperspirant, smelled even better than the antiperspirant itself, and even more so than expensive perfumes.

Could it be that, due to the mystical nature of hormones, the smell of warm water is a sensation that has been hijacked by the brain?

I wonder what Xiaolan will wear to this banquet today.

Filled with double the curiosity, Wen Shui stepped onto the wooden floor of the corridor and entered a room that resembled a living room.

The decor here has a rustic feel. In the center of the room is a low mahogany table, and the walls around it are decorated with calligraphy and paintings of "Wind, Fire, Mountain and Forest". The air is filled with the aroma of tea and incense.

It makes you feel like you've stepped into an old movie from the last century.

Kogoro Mouri must have just arrived; he was sitting on the tatami mats, chatting politely with a man holding a fishing rod. Conan and Ran were also sitting obediently at the table.

From under Xiaolan's pink plaid skirt, one could vaguely tell that she was wearing thick black stockings today.

Wen Shui wanted to go over and talk to Xiao Lan, but Suzuki Sonoko, who had run in before him, blocked his way. Sonoko was holding onto the doorway with one hand, rubbing her ankle in pain.

Wen Shui walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "What's wrong?"

"I was running too fast just now, and I think I twisted my ankle," Sonoko Suzuki said pitifully as she turned around.

Wen Shui lowered her head and carefully observed Yuanzi's ankle.

Her small feet, encased in white cotton socks, were bent in a somewhat awkward position. After walking for a while, the white cotton socks were filled with the beautiful girl's body fragrance.

When paired with Sonoko's light chocolate-colored skin, it evokes the image of a freshly baked cocoa butter bread.

Sonoko Suzuki noticed that Onami was watching very intently, and even cooperated by slipping her hand into the edge of her sock and gently pulling it open, revealing her slender ankle bones and half of her heel. The soft soles of her feet looked so inviting that one couldn't help but want to pinch them.

Wen Shui said with a serious expression, "Let me check for you."

Sonoko Suzuki's shoulders trembled slightly, but she did not refuse the request for warm water.

Just then, the woman in black pantyhose suddenly rushed over and slapped Wen Shui's hand away: "How can you just casually examine a girl's body, Wen Shui? That's very rude of you."

Wen Shui and Xiao Lan looked at each other, thinking to themselves, "I've pinched your legs quite often, and I even spanked you as punishment when we were kidnapped in the warehouse last time."

However, Xiaolan seemed to have lost her memory, and with a straight face, she played the role of a "disciplinary committee member" that randomly appeared in the school.

Wenshui had no choice but to play along: "I was just too concerned about Sonoko, I'm sorry."

"Hmph, Sonoko, come over here, let me take a look." Xiaolan helped Sonoko walk to the low table.

Sonoko Suzuki looked disappointed, as if she had missed out on a long-awaited toy figure raffle.

Upon entering the living room, both Kogoro Mouri and the person who had invited them to the gathering turned around at the same time.

Kogoro Mouri: "Damn it, what are you doing here, you brat?"

Wen Shui walked over to the low mahogany table with a grin and sat down: "I originally wanted to go to the library to read, but I happened to run into Yuanzi, so I came here with her."

Although Kogoro Mouri was a little angry about Wen Shui's previous failure to help Ran in her time of need, several days had passed, and with outsiders present, he felt embarrassed to bring up the matter again.

Things turned out pretty much as Xiaolan had predicted.

Kogoro Mouri introduced the man to Kazuyuki Kawai, the president of the company who had invited him to dinner at the boat-shaped restaurant, saying, "This brat is my daughter's classmate. He often comes to my house for meals. I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Kawai Kazuyuki smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. It's more lively with more people. Besides, Mr. Mori, you've helped me a lot before. I feel a little embarrassed by your politeness."

"Hehehe, what are you saying?" Uncle Mori scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.

Kazuyuki Kawai first gave a brief self-introduction to Nukumi. When he learned that Nukumi was the detective who had found important clues in the Kuchisake-onna case, Kazuyuki Kawai's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly covered it up with a smile.

Wen Shui thought to herself, if she wasn't mistaken, the murderer must be you.

However, so far Wen Shui has not seen the person Vermouth mentioned who could surprise him. Could it be that Vermouth is deliberately teasing him?

Probably not. I don't think Vermouth would do something so pointless.

Wen Shui looked around and began to observe the layout of the room at the "murder scene," memorizing some places that might be useful later.
