Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Moreover, there was warm water right next to her. After Genta said that, Sato Miwako suddenly felt a little insecure.

Miwako turned her back to the crowd and took off her sunglasses: "You all need to look closely. My face, which I make time to take care of even when I work overtime until late at night, doesn't look like that of an old lady at all, does it?"

Looking at Officer Sato's delicate and flawless white skin, Wen Shui felt that it was just as smooth and tender as Xiao Lan and the others.

Her sharp eyes, honed through struggles with criminals, added a unique quality to her that was absent in teenage girls; her delicate lips were painted a beautiful red…

Ouch! That hurts!

Huh, why is someone kicking me from behind?

When Wen Shui turned around, he saw Ai Haibara attacking his calf with the toe of her deerskin boots, looking quite annoyed.

Wen Shui gently pinched Ai Haibara's soft cheek and whispered, "No, naughty children don't get dinner."

"You should be saying that to yourself. I'm cooking dinner tonight." Ai Haibara glared angrily at Wen Shui.

At this moment, after the others discovered the true identity of the strange woman in front of them, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Officer Sato?"

Why are you dressed like that?

"I know, you must have skipped work specifically to come and watch the football team's parade, and dressed up like this because you were worried about being recognized by your colleagues, right?"

The kids all shared their opinions.

Conan, however, after seeing Miwako Sato, focused more on the surrounding crowd, seemingly searching for information related to the case.

Miwako Sato waved her hand: "That's not it at all. I did it for work, of course."

Yuan Tai looked delighted: "Huh, is there a case?"

"Is it a murder case or a kidnapping case?" Ayumi followed up with another question.

Because the case was quite complicated and there were many people around, Sato Miwako didn't want to reveal the information for the time being, so she turned to Wen Shui and said, "No, I actually came to see Wen Shui."

"Huh?"

The kids let out disappointed sounds.

On the warm side, Ai Haibara's expression became even colder than before, and it seemed that she was aiming at his shinbone again.

Wen Shui quickly hid behind Professor Agasa's broad body: "I bet it's related to this soccer festival parade, right? The reason you disguised yourself was to avoid being discovered by the criminals. You specifically came over to lecture Genta about not standing on the mailbox, also to prevent Genta from doing anything that might attract the attention of criminals in the crowd. In other words..."

Wen Shui paused, then stared sharply at Sato Miwako:

"You don't know the identity of the perpetrator yet, so I'm guessing it's a bomber, right?"

Sato Miwako's mouth opened slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Although she already knew about Wen Shui's reasoning ability—no, she should say admired it—she was still somewhat shocked that Wen Shui could deduce the truth of the matter simply by coming over to stop Genta and the others from standing on the mailbox.

If we brought that ability into the First Investigation Division, Inspector Megure would probably get promoted very quickly, right?

The successor is most likely Shiratori Ninzaburo, who has a family background. However, considering that Nukumizu is also supported by the Suzuki Group, if the culprit of the Slit-Mouthed Woman is caught, Nukumizu might become the youngest police inspector in history.

Miwako Sato imagined herself as a capable assistant to the Metropolitan Police Department, helping Nukumi, who was several years younger than her, reach the pinnacle of his life and become the head of the First Investigation Division.

The problem is that Wen Shui hasn't graduated yet; he still needs to go to university and get into Tokyo University.

Moreover, given Wen Shui's free-spirited personality, she probably wouldn't like being a criminal investigator, a job that is stressful, where she could be reprimanded by her superiors at any time and become a scapegoat for the media.

Miwako couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Miwako Sato snapped out of her thoughts and nodded: "That's true, but you're only half right."

Wen Shui was shocked: "Huh? How is that possible? Is there some part that I haven't figured out yet?"

He clearly remembered that the case in the original work developed in this way. Could it be that this case, like the previous Slit-Mouthed Woman case, was involved in other cases?

Seeing Wenshui's anxious expression, Sato Miwako couldn't help but let a sly smile creep onto her lips.

But actually, the main reason I came here was to talk to you, you big idiot!

Miwako muttered to herself what the warm water couldn't hear.

After Wen Shui revealed the truth about Sato Miwako's disguise investigation, the Junior Detective League and Conan immediately became very alert and huddled together whispering.

Although Wenshui and Officer Sato kept the conversation focused on the case, they did not show any overly intimate behavior towards each other.

However, Ai Haibara still sensed something ominous between the two.

It smells like a cat that's been stealing fish.

Recalling the video files she had deleted from Wenshui's computer, which seemed to contain images of a short-haired, mature woman in a police uniform, Ai Haibara immediately became extremely wary.

Of course, Ai Haibara believes that the reason she is so nervous is because Nuwa is a member of the Black Organization, and getting too close to the detectives could easily make them realize her identity.

This could lead to her and Wen Shui being silenced or even brought to trial in an international court.

It's definitely not because she's jealous, hmph!

After mentally preparing herself, Ai Haibara put on the little girl mask, walked over, and grabbed Wen Shui's arm, shaking it: "Wen Shui brother, I want to see the bus in the parade, I want to see the bus..."

Ai Haibara pulled Wen Shui away from Miwako Sato.

He glanced around and, finding no one nearby, lowered his head and whispered in Ai Haibara's ear, "That's not what you said just now. You even bit me with your teeth."

Because we were so close, the pleasant, faint milky scent emanating from Ai Haibara wafted over.

Soft, brown hair swayed gently in the breeze, lightly brushing against the tip of her nose where the warm water touched her, and her baby-like, delicate skin looked exceptionally alluring.

However, this girl, who looked like a delicate porcelain doll in a doll shop, could actually stand on tiptoe, hug Wen Shui's neck, and say something terrifying that sent chills down one's spine: "Stop talking, or I'll put drugs in your food tonight."

Warm Water: "That's going too far! Aren't we partners?"

"Didn't I tell you not to get too close to the police?" Ai Haibara said with a stern face. "I don't feel any sincerity from you as a partner at all." Ai paused for a moment: "And you even have my picture on your computer, you perverted brother."

Warm water: "..."

The two began to whisper among themselves.

.

The three kids from the Junior Detective League and Conan got together to discuss whether they should lend a hand in investigating the case.

Ai Haibara pulled Wen Shui away, using verbal threats and physical "fanservice" to maintain her dominance over Wen Shui, the dog.

Sato Miwako became embarrassed instead.

She and Professor Agasa stared at each other, exchanging pleasantries at the beginning, and now they had to start talking about the recent stock market situation and the price of discounted eggs at the supermarket.

As an elder, Miwako Sato couldn't very well compete with Ai Haibara for favor.

Logically, she should have left at this point, but Sato Miwako has been working overtime lately and hasn't spoken to Wenshui face-to-face for a long time, except for a few occasional phone calls.

She was somewhat reluctant to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Fortunately, someone soon broke the deadlock.

Not far away, Ran and Sonoko Suzuki, wearing the "Tokyo Spirits" team uniform, slowly squeezed out from the crowd.

"Over there!" Xiaolan pointed in the direction of Wenshui and the others.

"I...I saw it..." Sonoko Suzuki gasped for breath, her hands on her knees, "but my legs won't obey me anymore."

Xiao Lan frowned slightly: "But Wen Shui seems to be whispering to a girl while hugging her."

Sonoko Suzuki immediately perked up: "Where is he? That damned bastard, how dare he ruin the reputation of the 'Lily of the Valley Detective Club'! I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget."

Encouraged by Ran, Sonoko Suzuki quickly rushed to the vicinity of the warm water.

Then they discovered that the girl Ran was talking about was actually Ai Haibara.

Sonoko Suzuki looked at Ran with a resentful expression: "Ran, is this the kind of girl you were talking about?"

Ran said with a grin, "Of course it is! Isn't Ai a very cute girl?"

“But these brats pose absolutely no threat to me,” Sonoko Suzuki couldn’t help but complain.

Xiaolan: "A threat?"

"Ah, no, I mean playing piggyback rides with kids like this shouldn't damage the reputation of our Suzuran Detective Club," Sonoko Suzuki quickly tried to salvage the situation, almost blurting out her true feelings.

As they talked, the two of them walked up to Wen Shui and the others.

Wenshui also noticed Ran and Sonoko, who were wearing Tokyo Spirits team uniforms.

Wen Shui also noticed that Ran and Sonoko's clothes seemed to be newly bought, and if she wasn't mistaken, it must have been Sonoko Suzuki's idea.

However, I remember that Sonoko wasn't really a football fan; she probably just wanted to join in the fun.

However, even people who don't watch football at all will buy some merchandise when participating in such parades and celebrations, mainly to immerse themselves in the atmosphere.

People like Ai Haibara, who wore the Osaka team badge specifically to watch the celebration parade in order to curse their opponents, were actually in the minority.

"So, she really is the enemy." Ai Haibara's voice came from beside my ear.

Wen Shui turned her head and saw that Ai Haibara was looking at Ran and Sonoko with hostility as they walked towards her.

Wen Shui: "Don't be like that. They probably don't know what you mean by 'which team'."

"You're a traitor too, ouch!" Ai Haibara said as she bit Wen Shui's wrist.

The warm water left a row of teeth marks on her wrist from her small, cute teeth.

Wen Shui winced in pain: "Ouch, my hand is going to break..."

Ran walked over and lifted Ai Haibara off Wen Shui like she was a baby: "No, Ai, even though Wen Shui is very strong, you can't bully him every day."

So, does that mean bullying me is actually allowed?

"Hakiran, you bastard, it seems the punishment at the warehouse last time wasn't enough. I need to find a chance to leave a few teeth marks on you too," Wen Shui couldn't help but mutter to herself.

After Ran put Ai Haibara down, she smiled and said, "We're not too late, are we? There were too many people over there, so we had to get out of the taxi and run over."

"Ran runs so fast, my legs are about to break," Sonoko Suzuki added.

Warm Water: "I recently learned how to stretch muscles after exercise..."

"That kind of thing is not allowed!" Ran stood in front of Sonoko as if facing a formidable enemy. "I'll take care of Sonoko's leg. You can take care of Ai, Mr. Nukumizu."

The lukewarm water made my mouth water.

Sonoko Suzuki was completely confused, not understanding why Ran was reacting so strongly.

However, Sonoko Suzuki still enjoyed the feeling of being protected by Ran as something important, so she didn't think much of it.
