Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui: "I'll go. You two stay here and prepare the food."

"No, only Ran can do this." Kogoro Mouri walked over at some point, his hands covered in black charcoal marks and his face streaked with ashes. "It's almost ready, great! We can eat as soon as the stove is fixed."

Ran had already washed her hands and casually wiped them with a towel by the door: "I'm leaving this place in your care, Wen Shui-kun. You can't bully Sonoko, okay?"

Xiao Lan's warning look was clearly a warning to Wen Shui not to cheat on her.

Wen Shui nodded: "I know, she's the one who bullies me, how could I possibly bully her?"

.

Ran and Kogoro Mouri came to the yard together.

Genta and the others have almost finished making the meat skewers and are now skewering the vegetables. Conan is also forced to work, reluctantly being instructed by Ayumi.

To diversify the types of ingredients, Xiaolan prepared not only grilled meat using a mesh grill, but also skewers of meat and vegetables.

Xiaolan walked up to the long, rectangular grill used for grilling skewers and looked down at the iron plate that appeared to be bent from an impact:

"How did you do that?" Xiaolan asked, puzzled.

Professor Agasa: "I'm sorry, Ran, I'll have to trouble you this time. This barbecue grill exploded accidentally during my last experiment. It was stored in the warehouse at the time and got damaged along with the grill."

Conan couldn't help but interject, "I told you, Professor, I've been advising you to put your lab in a deserted place in the suburbs for ages."

"But the rent is expensive, and with the economy so bad right now, I have to cut back on expenses," Dr. Agasa said, scratching his head.

Xiaolan first checked the extent of the stove's bending, then with a sharp shout, she used her palm to straighten the bent iron plate back to its original shape.

The boys in the Junior Detective Club looked shocked.

Ayumi: "Ran-neechan is amazing! You can do things like that with karate. I want to practice karate when I grow up."

Xiaolan smiled and said, "This isn't just karate. I imagined this iron plate as the person I hate the most, and that's how I unleashed such power."

Conan couldn't help but shudder and said with a wry smile, "Ran-neechan, even if Shinichi hasn't come back from a case, you don't have to hate him this much, do you?"

"Shinichi?" Ran was taken aback. "No, I just mistook the iron plate for that guy, the warm water guy."

Conan's expression froze.

It felt like something inside his body had shattered.

Genta looked around and said, "Hey, did anyone break a glass? I heard something break."

At that moment, Onami and Sonoko Suzuki came out of the house carrying a package of meat.

Sonoko Suzuki: "Why isn't the fire started yet, Uncle? I'm starving."

Kogoro Mouri, squatting on the ground struggling with charcoal: "Okay, okay, give me five more minutes..."

.

While the barbecue party was being prepared in a lively atmosphere, on the second floor of the Kudo Shinichi family's villa next door...

Wearing a silk nightgown with a large expanse of white skin showing at the neckline, Mrs. Kudo watched the lively scene at Professor Agasa's house through the window, her teeth clenched in anger.

"That brat Wen Shui, he didn't even invite me to eat barbecue!"

Chapter 203 Barbecue Party, Mrs. Kudo's Black Stockings Are a Bit Off the Charts

Wen Shui and Suzuki Sonoko brought the meat and vegetables they had chopped in the kitchen to the yard.

I just looked up.

Then they discovered an unexpected guest, Yukiko Kudo, at the front door of Professor Agasa's house.

Yukiko Kudo probably came out of the villa next door, wearing casual denim shorts and slippers.

However, her upper body was clearly carefully chosen, a light blue shirt that was very similar in color to sea salt ice cream, with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, making her slender, fair forearms stand out in the night.

Her slender hands were painted with nail polish that matched the color of her shirt.

He truly deserves to be called a retired idol!

Even when going downstairs for a meal, she would choose an outfit that would highlight her charm, Wen Shui couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As Wen Shui inwardly sighed, her gaze followed the graceful curves of Kudo Yukiko downwards.

The light fell on Mrs. Kudo's long, shapely legs; perhaps because it was getting chilly at night, and her denim shorts were a bit short.

Yukiko Kudo also added a pair of slightly sheer black pantyhose to her legs.

Under the streetlights, her plump and sexy legs had an alluring, peach-like texture, as if you could squeeze water out of them with a gentle touch.

The pink bunny slippers on her soft black silk-clad feet added a touch of cuteness and playfulness to her sexiness and charm.

With her youthful face that belies her age, strangers would definitely mistake her for a part-time female idol who is currently in college.

Yukiko Kudo stood at the door and asked in a serious tone, "Excuse me, are Onami and Kazuki here?"

As soon as she spoke, everyone busy in the yard turned to look.

However, since no one knew what Yukiko Kudo was up to, everyone's attention fell on Nuku Shui again.

Wen Shui looked helpless, walked over and answered in a serious tone, "That's me. And you are?"

Because no one knew what strange thing this woman was up to this time.

Wen Shui decided to cooperate with her performance first, to test Kudo Yukiko's abilities.

"I'm your boss, you bastard!" Yukiko Kudo reached out and pinched Wen Shui's ear. "You're so heartless! You ate something delicious without inviting me, and you even knew I lived right next door! How awful..."

Warm Water: "Don't twist it, it hurts..."

Warm water grabbed Kudo Yukiko's slender wrist.

After not seeing her for several days, Wen Shui noticed that Kudo Yukiko's skin was smoother than before, and her wrists felt just the right amount of fleshy and soft, at a level that made people want to tease her.

This is something that girls of Ran's and Sonoko's age do not possess.

Yukiko Kudo was already furious when she noticed that the brat's eyes looked a little strange after he grabbed her wrist. So she immediately let go and snorted, "If you do this again, I'll dock your pay."

Wen Shui: "You can't blame me for this. How was I supposed to know if you were home or not? Besides, I started helping as soon as I got back."

"Why don't you just call and ask?" Yukiko Kudo complained. "When I asked you to have dinner together before, didn't I always call you first?"

Wen Shui rolled her eyes, thinking that it was because you lived in a rented room and didn't dare to ask Conan for fear of him finding out, so you ate with the son of your classmate who lived alone next door.

Moreover, every time Yukiko Kudo got drunk, the scene was described as a "revealing spring scene," which would be an understatement.

This makes it very difficult for Wen Shui to overcome her evil thoughts each time.

Before Wen Shui could speak, Conan suddenly interrupted, "Kudo... uh, big sister Kudo, do you often have meals with Wen Shui?"

Yukiko Kudo's expression changed. She had been so angry that she had forgotten Conan and the others were still there. Her renting the apartment hadn't been discovered yet, and she couldn't afford to give herself away.

"It's Brother Wen Shui." Wen Shui turned around and punched Conan.

Conan covered his head and said with a wronged expression, "It hurts so much! You're so mean, Wen Shui-gege."

Wen Shui: "Didn't your mother teach you to respect your elders? Although I'm not very old, I often go to Xiao Lan's house for meals, so I'm practically your elder. You have to call me 'brother'."

That's how Wen Shui started preaching.

Yukiko Kudo glanced at Wen Shui with a complicated expression. After not seeing him for a few days, the boy was still the same as ever, always able to provide her with just the right help at crucial moments.

After calming down, Mrs. Kudo went over and patted Conan's head: "Yes, because we're working together on a movie. Sometimes when I want to talk to Wenshui about the script, I realize it's lunchtime, so I have to go to a restaurant outside to eat."

Yukiko Kudo deliberately gave a half-truthful explanation so that Conan wouldn't misunderstand.

In reality, she always ate at home with Wen Shui. If they weren't neighbors, Kudo Yukiko probably wouldn't have invited Wen Shui out of the blue. She felt that would be a bit ambiguous and might make Wen Shui, that little pervert, misunderstand her intentions.

Moreover, during the previous meals together, even when she was drunk, Wen Shui behaved herself and did not make any advances towards her.

This made Yukiko Kudo feel more at ease having dinner with Onami.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Conan's suspicion lessened considerably.

Of course, it's also possible that the punch from Wen Shui was too heavy, which reduced his brain's ability to analyze clues.

At this moment, Professor Agasa, who provided the venue, said politely, "Yukiko, this is really not Wen Shui-kun's fault. It's all my fault for forgetting that I have you as a neighbor. Oh dear, I'm too old, please don't take offense."

Yukiko Kudo smiled and said, "Doctor, you're too kind. I was just deliberately making things difficult for my subordinate to get him to write the manuscript faster."

Dr. Agasa laughed too.

Warm water: "..."

At this moment, Conan seemed to realize something: "Big sister Kudo, I heard from Shinichi that you've been talking to actresses about scripts these past few days and weren't going home. Why are you back today?"

Whenever Conan mentions Shinichi Kudo's name, Ran will definitely come over and ask him a lot of questions.

But right now, Ran has automatically blocked out that name in her mind; her focus is now on Yukiko Kudo's beautiful legs in black stockings.

Ran just noticed that when Wen Shui saw Kudo Yukiko, her gaze was fixed on the latter's legs, and she even seemed to swallow.

That bastard, could he really have feelings for Miss Kudo?

Xiaolan felt a little uneasy because she felt that she might not stand a chance against a retired popular idol.

Also, if they really start arguing, Yukiko Kudo has watched Ran grow up since she was little, so I feel like the scene would be super awkward.

After being subtly questioned by her son, Yukiko Kudo's fair face flushed slightly.

How could she possibly say that she had been staying at Wen Shui's apartment for the past few days and wanted to talk to him about the script, but that little rascal seemed to be too busy and never gave her a chance?

However, if it is not explained clearly, it may increase Conan's suspicions.

Yukiko Kudo smiled and said, "The work ended early. I was talking about the worst-case scenario before. I didn't expect that even after retiring from the entertainment industry for so many years, I would still be able to grasp the key to the current trend so quickly."

Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes, because this explanation did sound a lot like his mother's way of doing things, so he didn't doubt it much.

At this moment, Kogoro Mori was holding an unlit piece of charcoal:

"Come and help me, Yukiko. I remember you're the best at lighting charcoal, right? Back in college, you were always the one in charge of that when we went out."

Perhaps because they had been in the same school since their student days, Kogoro Mouri's attitude towards Yukiko Kudo seemed no different from his attitude towards Ran.

He's the type who won't have any strange thoughts even if the other person is dressed up beautifully.

Yukiko Kudo put her hands on her hips: "Really, Mori, I'm a girl, that's why Eri said you don't know how to be considerate."

Kogoro Mouri looked surprised: "Huh, Eri said that about me? What else did she say?"

Yukiko Kudo rolled her eyes at him without answering, but still went over, picked up some charcoal, and squatted down in front of the stove to start a fire.
