Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui thought to herself, "I didn't buy it either. It was your godmother, Vermouth, who bought it."

However, considering that Vermouth could embezzle 1 billion yen just by staying at her parents' research institute, she probably wouldn't be very frugal with her daily expenses. Moreover, when it comes to showing off in front of Ai Haibara, she would definitely buy the best things.

Wen Shui: "Okay, I'll buy a cheaper gift next time."

Xiaolan didn't refuse this time, which probably meant she agreed to let Wenshui give her a gift.

However, perhaps worried that Wen Shui had spent a lot of money on gifts and that his living expenses were insufficient, Xiao Lan said that when she bought cleaning products, she won a super deluxe beef in a raffle, so Wen Shui wouldn't have to prepare lunch for her next week.

Wen Shui knew, of course, that this was a white lie told by Xiao Lan.

However, he did not choose to expose her. Although Wen Shui was not short of money, he was still happy to eat the beef bento made by Xiao Lan.

The two then chatted for a few more minutes about school, such as Chihaya from the next class seemingly having a new love interest, the nurse in the infirmary writing love letters to students again, and Sonoko Suzuki's history grades being so bad that she would have to retake the exam.

The warm water, which had initially caused her to be upset by Xiaolan's "accidentally" spilled underwear on the sofa, gradually calmed down.

He seemed to have returned to the time in his past life when he hid under the covers and chatted with a girl he liked about final exam questions.

After what just happened, Xiaolan seems to have changed quite a bit. Before, although she would occasionally chat with Wenshui via text message, she would usually end the conversation after a few words.

Even if Xiaolan were talking about a piggy bank, the two of them could exchange more than a dozen messages, and they wouldn't feel bored at all.

The chat box was filled with the saccharine smell of romance, but Wen Shui really liked the feeling.

But things always come to an end, and it's unlikely that the two of them will chat until dawn. Tomorrow, Mr. Nohara will test physical fitness in PE class, and they won't be able to pass if they don't get enough rest.

But to Wen Shui's surprise, the way the topic ended this time was also very Conan-like.

"Conan and my dad are arguing, I have to go check on them. You should get some rest," Ran said.

Wen Shui couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

This must be another way that Conan came up with to sabotage things after discovering Ran was texting him. He truly lives up to his reputation as the King of Jealousy in Asia.

However, if things really continue like this, I'm afraid Wen Shui will not only have to solve the problems of the other wings, but also find a way to persuade Uncle Mori and Eri Kisaki, plus the Asian jealous king Conan.

The warm water suddenly felt incredibly pressured.

However, we could try to find a solution with Ayumi. After all, Ayumi and Conan are always exchanging glances. Although she is young, Conan is not old anymore and seems to have potential.

Moreover, it's barely acceptable from a moral standpoint.

I took away your perfect childhood sweetheart, and now I'm giving you a brand new one. Is that too much to ask?

.

The weekend a few days later.

Wen Shui, carrying her schoolbag, walked out of Teitan with Xiao Lan. From afar, they saw Kogoro Mouri sitting in a rented white car with the window down. Uncle Mouri had one hand on the car door, with a half-smoked, burning cigarette between his fingers.

Just as Wen Shui was about to greet them, she heard the chatter of the younger female students who were leaving the school with her.

"Who is that uncle? His expression is so scary."

"Could it be some kind of yakuza?"

"Huh? Then let's take a detour..."

The chatter of the younger female students made Ran lower her head, and she quickly pulled Wen Shui away, walking in the opposite direction from where Kogoro Mouri had parked his car.

Uncle Mori quickly threw away his half-smoked cigarette, started the car, and stepped on the gas to give chase.

"Xiao Lan, where are you going with Wen Shui?" Uncle Maoli maintained his speed, keeping at the same level as Wen Shui and Xiao Lan, so that even if Xiao Lan sped up and jogged, she couldn't shake them off.

The commotion attracted a lot of attention, so Xiaolan gave up and stopped, opened the car door and got in.

"Huh? So you're here to see Mori-senpai?"

"Could it be that their detective team has messed with someone they shouldn't have?"

"That old man wouldn't have sunk Mori-senpai into Tokyo Bay, would he? Should we ask the teacher for help?"

Several younger female students who had been kindly taken care of by Ran Mouri looked at Ran in the distance with worried expressions.

Just then, Sonoko Suzuki, carrying a tennis bag, walked out of the school gate and witnessed everything. She went over and patted the girls on the shoulder: "Don't worry, that's Ran's dad."

"Mouri-senpai's father?" The group exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.

Sonoko Suzuki also found it strange: "Yeah, haven't you seen him on TV? Uncle Mori seems to be on TV a lot lately."

"Huh? Really?" one of the short-haired girls exclaimed in surprise.

Another girl looked puzzled: "Now that you mention it, I do remember it, but that uncle's expression was so scary. He seemed like a completely different person from the famous detective Kogoro Mouri on TV."

"Yeah, the way he looked at Mori-senpai was a bit like a vicious yakuza."

"A fierce look in her eyes?" Sonoko Suzuki frowned slightly, lost in thought. "Hmm? Wait a minute, when Ran came out just now, did that bastard Wen Shui touch her inappropriately?"

Several female students trembled in fear at Suzuki Sonoko's imposing manner: "This...we didn't notice."

Sonoko Suzuki glared angrily at the car in the distance, only to find that Uncle Mori had already driven away: "Damn it, we haven't even left Teitan yet, and that bastard Nukumizu has already started to get handsy!"

Sonoko was originally supposed to go to Gunma Prefecture with Ran to visit the filming location of a TV show featuring Kogoro Mouri.

However, tomorrow morning is the wedding of the son of a zaibatsu who has a good relationship with the Suzuki Group, and the whole family has to go to congratulate him, so they can't go to Gunma Prefecture to join in the fun.

Since that barbecue, Sonoko Suzuki noticed that Numizu and Ran seemed to be getting closer than before.

Although she appeared to be the same as before, Suzuki Sonoko would never mistake the emotions conveyed in her eyes and brows.

That's why Sonoko is a little worried that the weekend's activities might lead to Wenshui and Xiaolan crossing that line in their relationship. If the two of them hold hands or kiss behind her back, that would be troublesome.

However, Sonoko was relieved when she heard that Yukiko Kudo was also going.

But to her surprise, before she could even leave his sight, that bastard Wen Shui started to grope her.

No, we have to find a way to stop them.

But is there any way to remotely control Wenshui and Xiaolan? Suzuki Sonoko stood at the Teitan entrance, lost in deep thought.

.

On the other hand, Wen Shui was pulled into the car by Uncle Mori, who "looked a lot like the head of the Yakuza."

However, he was seated in the back, while Ran sat alone in the front passenger seat. Uncle Mori's reason was that Ran should help him see the road, but in reality, he probably didn't want Ran and Wen Shui to have too much close contact.

The reason Wen Shui made this guess was because as soon as he got into the car, Kogoro Mouri asked him with a scrutinizing look, "Were you holding hands just now?"

"Huh?"

Xiaolan's face turned bright red, and she looked away as she gazed out the window.

Wen Shui was much calmer, because he was certain that he had not had any physical contact with Xiao Lan at the school gate.

However, just as he left the classroom and went down the stairs, Wen Shui did hold Xiao Lan's soft little hand for a few seconds when no one was around.

Xiaolan is probably used to being a good girl, because she immediately panics when her father questions her.

Wen Shui smiled and explained, "How could that be, Uncle Mori? You must have seen it wrong."

"How could that be? My eyes can find even the slightest clues at a murder scene." Kogoro Mouri pressed closer.

Wen Shui thought to herself that it was all thanks to Conan; his eyes always managed to mistake the culprit for someone else.

Thinking of this, Wen Shui glanced at Conan sitting next to her out of the corner of her eye and found that Conan did not seem to be showing the jealousy of the Asian king. Considering the comparison between Conan's observation skills and Kogoro Mouri's observation skills, it must be that Kogoro Mouri misread it due to the angle and the refraction of light.

Wen Shui was speechless: "How could that be? There were so many people at the entrance just now, including student council members. Even if they were a real couple, they wouldn't hold hands in that kind of place. They would get into trouble with the student council."

Wen Shui spoke with great confidence because it was the truth.

Kogoro Mouri looked at Ran and Wen Shui with suspicion: "Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xiaolan regained her composure after being reminded by Wen Shui. "And you call yourself a detective? We all knew you were at the door today. Even if you were secretly dating, why would you deliberately hold hands?"

Xiaolan has been reading a lot of detective and mystery books lately, and her analyses are quite insightful.

Uncle Mori blushed: "Hmph, that's for the best. Let me tell you, Ran, although Eri agrees to you dating other people, it has to be within safe limits. Don't be fooled by this kid's sweet talk."

"I know, you don't need to remind me of this." Xiaolan retorted, blushing. "Honestly, just now at the school gate, the younger girls all mistook you for a yakuza member."

"What? They don't even recognize me, Kogoro Mouri?" Uncle Mouri looked shocked.

Conan: "Maybe it's because your expression was too scary just now, Uncle, that you didn't recognize me."

Uncle Maori sighed, "These young people nowadays, I really worry about the future of this country."

Wen Shui and Xiao Lan exchanged a glance through the car's rearview mirror, and both of them showed a faint smile.

At that moment, Yukiko Kudo, who was sitting on the other side of the back seat, suddenly coughed: "Hey Kogoro, that's not what you said back then. I remember in second grade, the class next door..."

"Aaaaaah!" Uncle Mori suddenly yelled, interrupting Yukiko's explanation of her embarrassing past.

Ran turned around and asked with a gossipy look, "Aunt Yukiko, did someone have a crush on Dad back then?"

"Oh, let's talk about my performance later," Kogoro Mouri interrupted while driving. "I'm a little nervous right now. How can I stay calm in front of the camera, Yukiko?"

Yukiko Kudo smiled broadly, but she didn't continue to embarrass her old classmate in front of everyone: "Okay, then I'll teach you a few psychological tricks."

While Yukiko Kudo was speaking, Onami was also able to observe the environment inside the car.

Although the car looked a bit worn out on the outside, the interior was very clean. Conan sat in the middle of the back seat, flipping through a comic book with a bored expression.

Yukiko Kudo sat on the other side, and she was clearly dressed up specially for the day, perhaps to attend the filming ceremony.

A pristine white dress hugged her curves, which exuded the charm of a mature woman.

Her sexy, voluptuous peach-shaped buttocks pressed deep into the leather car seat, her long, slender legs were bent into an L-shape, and the cool wedge sandals on her feet added a touch of girl-next-door charm.

I remember Yukiko Kudo wouldn't have worn this style of clothing before.

Could this woman be deliberately trying to compete with Xiaolan?

As Wen Shui was admiring the comic book, Conan suddenly blocked her view: "Brother Wen Shui, could this person be a villain?"

Wen Shui was speechless.

Unexpectedly, this kid was quite possessive of his food, so he had to pretend to chat with Conan about the manga for a bit before turning his head to look at the scenery along the roadside.

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri suddenly noticed that Ran was mysteriously sending messages to someone.

He glanced at the back seat and saw that Wen Shui hadn't taken out her phone, but was staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.

Kogoro Mouri: "Ran, who are you texting?"

"Give it to Mom," Xiaolan said without looking up.

Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it's Eri. Didn't she say she was busy with a case?"
