Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui stared blankly at Yukiko's retreating figure, wondering what was bothering her now. However, she could see two figures, one tall and one short, walking towards the bustling courtyard.

Besides letting the warm water feel that gentle warmth, an amazing idea also popped into my head.

If he stood on the other side of Conan, holding Conan's hand together with Yukiko Kudo, wouldn't things be more harmonious?

The warm water was startled.

No, no, that's too evil a thought. Conan's body has just shrunk. It would be too awkward for him to call me uncle. Wen Shui couldn't help but click her tongue.

Then I quickly rinsed the soap off my hands and walked into the yard.

.

When Wenshui returned, she found that everyone had already cooked the first batch of meat.

Before Suzuki Sonoko could even sit down at Wenshui, she picked up a piece of meat and walked over to him: "Hey, try it and see how it's cooked."

She stood in front of the warm water, pouted her little lips, and gently blew on it a few times.

The sweet aroma of strawberries and the scent of grilled meat mingled together in the garden, making Wen Shui's mouth water.

Wen Shui didn't stand on ceremony and ate the roasted beef that Miss Sonoko fed her in one bite: "Hmm, it tastes good, the tenderness is just right, and the sauce ratio is also just right."

"Hehehe, my cooking skills are pretty good, aren't they?" Sonoko Suzuki laughed smugly.

Before Wen Shui could even swallow the meat in her mouth, Ai Haibara came over with a skewer of grilled corn: "You should eat some vegetables too, otherwise you'll become malnourished, Wen Shui-nii."

Wen Shui had no choice but to eat another serving of roasted corn that Xiao Ai had fed her.

Then he praised her barbecue skills.

Ai Haibara squinted and smiled happily, then turned to Professor Agasa and said, "Professor, you should eat less meat. Do I need to tell you more about your health condition?"

Dr. Agasa shrank his neck, and almost dropped the cow bone in his hand.

As soon as Wen Shui found a place to sit down, Kudo Yukiko reached out with her chopsticks and actually put a thick piece of steak on Wen Shui's plate.

Wen Shui looked surprised.

He thought that with Conan watching over Yukiko Kudo and Uncle Mori and the others present, she definitely wouldn't be able to feed him as an elder.

Yukiko Kudo said calmly, "Don't dip it in sauce. I poured some wine on the meat while grilling it. I often eat it this way abroad. Why don't you try it?"

Oh, I see. Wen Shui thought that Kudo Yukiko had really developed feelings for him and had started to join the battle of jealousy and rivalry.

However, excluding Ayumi, who is a dangerous option, among the people present now.

It seems there's still one important person who hasn't come to feed him.

Wen Shui looked around and finally focused his gaze on Xiao Lan, who was sitting closest to the barbecue grill. He then noticed that Xiao Lan was holding ten skewers of grilled beef and her eyes were burning with desire.

After the meat cooled down a little, Xiaolan actually swallowed it all in one gulp.

"Mmm~ This is so delicious! I feel like my life is complete!" Xiaolan squinted her eyes and looked like she was enjoying herself. Her cheeks were bulging out, making her look as cute as a hamster.

Wen Shui couldn't help but sigh.

Well, it seems that Mori is a bit different from the others.

The temptation of barbecue was still too great for her.

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri opened a can of beer and handed it to Yukiko Kudo: "Can you have some?"

Yukiko Kudo put down her chopsticks and smiled, nodding, "No problem. By the way, Mori, why isn't Eri here?"

Uncle Mori: "She has three cases on her hands these days, she's extremely busy."

Xiaolan, holding another 10 skewers of grilled meat, asked in surprise, "Hey, Dad, do you guys usually communicate? Do you call each other under the covers at night?"

"Why should I hide under the covers? Don't treat me like some kid who just started dating." Uncle Mori picked up a can of beer and took a big gulp.

Xiaolan suddenly switched to a coquettish expression: "Then Daddy... when can Mommy move back home to live?"

"We'll talk about that later." Kogoro Mouri changed the subject, clinking glasses with Yukiko over beer. "Yukiko, how's your movie coming along? I'm waiting to see it."

Yukiko Kudo sighed, "The progress is a bit slow. My editor is always hanging out with girls, and I can't find him at all."

Warm Water: "Hey, didn't I send you a script last time?"

Wen Shui had previously sent an idea to Kudo Yukiko, asking her to see if it was feasible.

"That idea is good, but the details are too rudimentary. You should really improve it." Kudo Yukiko said, while putting two more pieces of meat on Wen Shui's plate.

"Okay, I'll get it done as soon as possible," Wen Shui said as she finished eating the meat in her bowl.

Kogoro Mouri: "I told you long ago that this kid is unreliable. I told you, Yukiko, you shouldn't put all your hopes on him, lest you end up losing everything."

"Dad, how can you talk like that? Besides, Wen Shuijun's novel was already shortlisted for the final stage of a major novel award, wasn't it? He's really amazing."

Xiao Lan complained as she ate.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm still a newbie when it comes to scripts. There are many things I don't understand. I need Sister Xizi to teach me properly."

Yukiko almost dropped her chopsticks.

She stared at the warm water, thinking that the little rascal was definitely doing it on purpose.

The sound of something like "adjusting" immediately triggered her memories of fulfilling a bet in a hotel room while dressed in a cowgirl outfit.

Fortunately, it was nighttime, and even with the lamps lit, the firelight flickered on and off, so no one noticed the blush on Mrs. Kudo's face.

After a few drinks, Kogoro Mouri's tongue was already slightly slurred.

"Speaking of movies, the day before yesterday, a director who claimed to be my fan called me and said that the male lead of a TV mystery show he was in charge of filming had been injured while skiing and could not appear in the show. He asked if I would like to make a cameo appearance."

"A mystery show? That seems like a niche genre." Yukiko Kudo pondered for a moment. "But the advantage is that the fan base is very loyal. I think you can give it a try; it will help improve your detective agency's reputation."

Xiaolan's eyes sparkled: "Will there be a reward?"

Kogoro Mouri smiled smugly: "Of course I'll pay, and the fee will be quite substantial. In fact, I already agreed to it a few days ago. I'll be going to Shizuoka Prefecture for filming in a few days."

"That's great! Dad's business seems to be doing really well lately, we've got another boost in income!" Xiaolan laughed happily, then suddenly noticed that Wen Shui's expression was a little off. "By the way, Wen Shui-kun, are you coming with us too?"

Before Wen Shui could speak, Uncle Maoli interrupted, "Wait a minute, when did I say I was going to take you?"

“But we’re going to such a far place, Dad, you can’t take care of yourself by yourself, and don’t actors all have assistants?” Ran looked at Kogoro Mouri with pitiful eyes.

Kogoro Mouri stood with his arms crossed, unmoved.

Xiaolan reached out and took all the beer from Uncle Mori's feet to her side, then replaced it with a case of lemon sparkling water: "That's enough beer for today, Dad. You should take care of yourself too."

Uncle Mori's expression instantly fell apart: "You little brat, who did you learn that from?"

Xiaolan smiled and clasped her hands together: "So, am I capable of doing this job?"

"Alright, alright, damn it. I was planning to try out the newly opened luxury single-room hotel in Shizuoka, but now I can only stay in a regular room." Kogoro Mori downed his beer in one gulp.

Xiao Lan immediately opened a jar and handed it to her father.

"Why don't you and Sonoko come along too? After all, it's a detective program, and maybe our 'Lily of the Valley Detective Club' can get some exposure," Ran invited Wenshui and Sonoko again.

With a chicken leg stuffed in her mouth, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't speak, so she raised her hand to indicate that she agreed.

Wen Shui nodded: "We'll have to trouble Uncle Mori again this time."

Kogoro Mouri, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, said, "Hmph, why be so polite? This isn't the first time you've come to my house for a free meal. Come on, have a few drinks with me!"

As he spoke, Kogoro Mouri took the beer next to Ran, pulled out a can of beer, and threw it at her.

Wen Shui didn't really want to drink, not because he wasn't old enough, but because he didn't like the feeling of being out of his mind.

For Wen Shui, the constant vigilance required to maintain peace of mind, given the possibility of the Black Organization potentially coming to his door at any moment.

However, since I need to go to Shizuoka Prefecture to audit a case, I'll have to rely on Uncle Mori's influence to some extent, so I can't refuse.

Wen Shui brought over the chilled canned beer, clinked glasses with Uncle Mori and Yukiko Kudo in turn, and then took a big gulp.

"That's more like it. What man doesn't drink?" Kogoro Mouri seemed quite pleased.

Xiao Lan originally wanted to persuade Wen Shui, but seeing that his relationship with his father seemed to be heating up because of drinking, she held back her words of advice.

Half an hour later, Uncle Mori was already arm in arm with Wen Shui, chatting about embarrassing things that happened when they were in school.

Wen Shui drank quite a bit too. If Conan and Ran hadn't been there, Wen Shui would most likely have used his free hand to put his arm around the equally drunk Yukiko Kudo.

Of course, while drinking, Wen Shui didn't forget to recall the case that Uncle Mori had been invited to handle.

He remembered that Kogoro Mouri would run into his old classmate this time, who was a pretty woman.

At least among the supporting characters in the original Detective Conan series, he is considered one of the more outstanding ones.

Later, during a casual chat, Yukiko Kudo also decided to go to Shizuoka Prefecture together, saying she wanted to see the details of live television program filming.

The kids from the Junior Detective League also wanted to go, but they couldn't because the school where they were filming had extracurricular activities.

After the kids had eaten and drunk their fill, they gathered together to discuss extracurricular activities. Ai Haibara was also pulled along.

The others had mostly eaten their fill and then began a joyful time of chatting and drinking.

Wen Shui finally got the right opportunity. He made an excuse to go to the toilet and turned to walk into the house.

The real purpose was to switch the gift package that Vermouth was supposed to give to Ai Haibara.

Wen Shui's plan went smoothly. He had already gone to the toilet twice, so no one would suspect him this time.

The package was also placed on the table in Ai Haibara's room by Professor Agasa without any precautions.

However, after Wen Shui carefully opened the package...

Surprisingly, what appeared before them was not the black stockings Vermouth had worn.

Just as Wen Shui was lost in thought, Xiao Lan's soft footsteps came from the corridor behind her.

Chapter 205 Will Xiaolan wear a bunny girl outfit?

When Wen Shui cautiously entered Ai Haibara's room and saw the large delivery box on the table, he felt something was wrong.

Because the box is too big.

It looked bigger than a typical shoe delivery box. If it were just to pack the black stockings Vermouth wore, there would be no need for such a large and complicated package.

Since Wen Shui had sneaked into Ai's room, he didn't have much time.

Besides, Vermouth is one of our own, so there's no way she'd open the bomb and it would explode.

Wen Shui tore off the sealing tape with her hands, opened the box, and stared wide-eyed in the dim light coming in from the window, not daring to turn on the light.
