Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Just as I was thinking this, the beam of the flashlight shining from afar disappeared.

It seems that the realistic scream temporarily dispelled the other party's suspicions.

Wen Shui carefully moved the umbrella, peering out through the gaps in the bushes.

He noticed that Shiho Miyano seemed to whisper something, and then she and Shinichi Kudo walked towards the Ferris wheel.

The sound of their footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Ran Mouri then lowered her "cat paw" that was raised in mid-air, as if she had escaped a disaster and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her overly nervous appearance, Wen Shui couldn't help but ask, "Is it necessary to be this scared?"

Ran Mouri glared at him, annoyed: "If they find out that I'm hiding here with someone like Wen Shui-kun, and even meowing like a cat, it won't be easy to explain."

Wen Shui said with dissatisfaction, "This kind of Wen Shui-jun is superfluous."

"Oh no, I can't let that bastard get away!" Ran Mouri suddenly remembered something, jumped into the road, turned around and waved to him with a smile, "Thanks, Numi-kun, you can keep the umbrella, just return it to me tomorrow... Ah~"

Because I was saying goodbye to him while walking backwards.

Ran Mouri tripped over a stone and was about to fall into a puddle filled with rainwater.

However, as the captain of the karate club, she quickly regained her balance and first lightly touched the ground with her fair and slender palms.

Then came a beautiful side somersault, her smooth black hair drawing a charming arc in mid-air before her brown leather shoes landed steadily, splashing up a light spray of water.

Then, without looking back, she disappeared from Wen Shui's sight.

Wen Shui emerged from behind the bushes, took out his phone, and checked his text messages.

Sure enough, during the time Ran Mouri was holding him hostage, Gin sent him a message: "[Mission canceled, returning to silence.]"

It seems that I don't need to worry about being suspected of disloyalty by the organization for the time being.

Next, he can focus on the material retrieval system in his mind, at least try to get the first progress point and see what skills it can give.

Then decide how to break free from the organization's control.

While pondering where to gather materials next, Wen Shui turned and walked towards the main entrance of the Dorobiga Amusement Park.

It's not too late yet, taking the subway... wait a minute!!

Wen Shui suddenly stopped in her tracks, her body frozen in place.

He suddenly remembered that he had only brought money with him to buy discounted eggs when he went out today. He rushed over as soon as he received Gin's call, and he had already spent all his money on the subway and amusement park tickets.

Calling Gin at this time is not the right thing to do.

I reckon Gin and vodka are currently making a deal with the owner of that gun smuggling company.

Wen Shui looked up at the dark night sky. The rain showed no sign of stopping, and as time went on, the surrounding temperature dropped lower and lower.

Even with an umbrella, it would probably take him several hours to walk home from here to his apartment building.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the side.

The wind carried icy raindrops that pounded against the umbrella, making a series of dull sounds. The rain, which wasn't blocked by the umbrella, splattered directly onto his already soaked clothes.

The damp and cold feeling made Wen Shui shiver involuntarily.

He glanced at the umbrella in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked in the direction Ran Mouri had left.

.

This path has no forks; just keep walking straight and you'll reach the main road of Dorobiga Amusement Park.

There were food stalls on both sides of the main road, and the aroma of takoyaki and grilled corn wafted in the wind, making Wen Shui's stomach even hungrier.

If you walk straight along the main path of the amusement park, you will reach the Ferris wheel.

Despite the rain, a long queue still formed under the Ferris wheel, and from a distance, the colorful umbrellas formed a rainbow-colored dragon.

"Deduction maniac!! You big jerk!!"

Following the sound, Wen Shui turned her gaze to the other side and easily found Ran Mouri, who was venting her anger on a telephone pole next to the vending machine.

The angry girl braved the drizzling rain and fully displayed her karate talent.

Her clothes were almost completely soaked by the rain, and the horns in her hair became limp and lifeless.

Even the black over-the-knee socks worn inside the brown leather shoes were soaked with rainwater, and every time they were kicked against the telephone pole, they would splash up a dazzling spray of water.

On the concrete utility pole that Ran Mouri had bullied, there were already quite a few small cracks.

Wen Shui thought to herself that the "Detective Conan" she watched in her past life wasn't just an exaggerated depiction in the comics; the beautiful girls in the Conan world could really easily smash telephone poles.

I don't know how her slender arms possess such explosive power.

The sound of warm water footsteps caught Ran Mouri's attention.

Ran Mouri looked up, her face, which was not covered with makeup, was covered with fine raindrops, and the upturned horns on her head were much shorter than before: "Huh? Numizu-kun, what brings you here?"

"Uh, I forgot my fare. Could you lend me some?" Wen Shui scratched her head awkwardly.

Ran Mouri was also taken aback for a moment, seemingly not expecting that Wen Shui had caught up for this reason, but she immediately nodded in agreement:

"No problem, how much do you want?"

Wenshui: "It's enough to take the subway back to Beikacho. Thank you so much."

Ran Mouri searched for a long time in the pocket of her JK uniform, then suddenly turned around and pulled out an adorable green cartoon dinosaur wallet from the suggestive valley.

"found it!"

Ran Mouri lifted up the flattened dinosaur-kun, and after noticing his strange look, she explained briefly, "When we were on the roller coaster earlier, I was worried that my wallet would fall off."

Wen Shui nodded in understanding, while casting an envious glance at Dinosaur-kun.

Ran Mouri opened her wallet and saw a photo of herself and Sonoko Suzuki in a hidden compartment, along with a bunch of discount coupons for family restaurants.

But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the money.

Ran Mouri awkwardly held up her wallet: "Oh dear, I think I spent all my allowance while playing at the amusement park."

"It's all spent?!" Wen Shui exclaimed in shock.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I don't have much pocket money to begin with, and there's so much delicious food here." Ran Mouri lowered her head shyly, then said to him, "Don't worry, I have a plan."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and started browsing through her contacts.

Wen Shui glanced at the contact names on her phone screen out of the corner of her eye: [Mother], [Sonoko-chan], [That clueless idiot who loves deduction has no idea what's on her mind...]

Wen Shui looked at the long list of notes for Shinichi Kudo and couldn't help but facepalm.

Although Ran Mouri may seem a bit violent, she is actually quite sensitive and perceptive. She's the kind of girl who can be tricked into using her ultimate skill with just a basic attack.

Through a brief contact with warm water, it was discovered that Ran Mouri in this world seems to be more like the original character design from the beginning of the Conan manga.

He has extremely high combat skills, often breaks things, is not good at expressing his inner thoughts, and likes to disguise himself as an impenetrable hedgehog.

But deep down, she is a gentle and kind girl who longs to be protected.

Just then, a whistle came from behind: "Hey! You two, damaging public property will result in a fine."

Wen Shui turned around and saw a fat police officer wearing a raincoat running towards them while blowing a whistle and carrying a baton.

Turning around again, Wen Shui found that Ran Mouri had already run away and only her back was visible.

Damn it, what happened to your gentleness and kindness?!

Without thinking twice, Wen Shui ran over there as well.

He had only run two steps when he saw Ran Mouri rushing back and grabbing his wrist: "Run faster, or you'll have to write a short essay as punishment."

The two of them slipped into a side path next to the vending machine.

.

After half an hour.

An interrogation room at a police station in Tokyo.

Ran Mouri and Wen Shui, their hands cuffed together, sat side by side in the interrogation room, facing a fat police officer who looked even more disheveled than they did.

In his pursuit of the two, the chubby police officer not only fell into a mud pit under construction but also accidentally sat on his baton. Now, he has an obvious "just had hemorrhoid surgery" expression on his face, staring at them with hostility.

“I am innocent,” Wen Shui said.

Ran Mouri looked at him with an incredulous expression.

“She broke that telephone pole all by herself,” Wen Shui added.

Ran Mouri nudged him with her elbow: "You bastard, I got caught trying to save you."

Wen Shui: "We won't get arrested if you don't break the telephone pole, and I'm really not good at writing long essays."

"You bastard, where's your loyalty?"

"I don't have that kind of thing..."

bang bang bang!

The chubby police officer interrupted their argument by slamming his baton on the table and said coldly, "Damaging public property and resisting arrest. If you weren't still students, I would definitely have locked you up for a few days!"

"I'm sorry." The two bowed their heads and apologized together.

"The damaged utility pole needs to be compensated, and in addition, the parents need to sign a guarantee," the chubby police officer said sternly.

Then he looked at Wen Shui: "Do you have any other relatives?"

Wen Shui thought that the police officer probably checked his file and found out that he was an orphan, which is why he asked that question.

As for relatives, after the original owner's parents died, he really didn't have any relatives to keep in touch with. Perhaps there were still relatives of the same clan in the countryside, but those were relatives who had stopped contacting him in his grandparents' generation, and it was impossible for them to bail him out.

How about we bring Gin over?

Uh... it seems like the police will be making me a prime target for their investigation.

Wen Shui thought for a moment, then revealed a sad expression: "No, after my parents passed away, I was all alone in my family."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri's gaze softened considerably.

The chubby police officer sighed, "In that case, just sign your own name. We still have to go through the formalities."

Warm Water: "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

The chubby officer then turned his gaze to Ran Mouri.
