Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Xiao Lan, who had gone upstairs to change her clothes, came downstairs. Wen Shui's gaze swept through the car window and he was immediately stunned by Xiao Lan's appearance.

Ran, who came down the stairs, had chosen a white dress that looked very similar to Yukiko Kudo's, and she was also wearing the same style of wedge sandals.

If you only look at her from behind, Ran's outfit is about 60-70% similar to Yukiko Kudo's.

The main difference is that Xiaolan has a more slender figure and looks more youthful, since this style of clothing is designed for girls her age.

As for Yukiko Kudo wearing it, it gave off a slightly childish vibe.

Fortunately, Yukiko has great skin and a vibrant personality, so she doesn't seem out of place at all.

Instead, it evokes a sense of contrast, like a young mother wearing a high school uniform and reminiscing about her childhood.

While Wen Shui was still in a daze, Xiao Lan opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, holding a folded pair of white pantyhose in her hand.

"Aunt Kudo, here you go." Ran handed the pantyhose to Yukiko Kudo. "When we get to the filming location, we'll definitely run into a lot of acquaintances. If someone sees the scars on your legs, it'll definitely cause a lot of trouble."

Yukiko Kudo: "Thank you so much, Ran. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. Whoever marries you will be so lucky."

Conan lowered his head, his face slightly red.

Wen Shui couldn't help but smile, thinking to herself, "That's right, I'm so lucky."

Even if Ran didn't say anything, Yukiko Kudo would have asked Kogoro Mouri to buy a pair of pantyhose from a convenience store before the highway station to cover up.

Since Xiaolan has prepared it for her, there's no need to buy it herself.

The only thing that made Yukiko Kudo a little embarrassed was that Ran gave her white silk stockings. Perhaps Ran chose this color because she thought it would match the dress Yukiko was wearing.

But at her age, wearing a pure white dress is fine, but wearing pure white stockings gives off a somewhat improper vibe.

However, since it was Ran who sent it, Yukiko Kudo felt embarrassed to refuse. But looking at the white stockings in her hand, she couldn't help but complain, "I never thought that at my age, I could still wear this style of clothes."

Xiaolan laughed and said, "It's okay. Mom has tried it too. Even for mature working women, it's good to change up your style occasionally."

"Eri?" Yukiko Kudo exclaimed in surprise.

Ran nodded: "Yes, because I usually wear tights, I didn't know if you would be comfortable wearing them, Aunt Kudo, so I gave you these pantyhose that my mom tried on before."

"Mom only tried it once in my room, it's very clean, don't worry."

"What? Eri is trying on this kind of dress in your room?" Kogoro Mouri was stunned.

Wen Shui was also shocked, wondering what was going on.

What kind of bizarre plot twist is this, "The married woman living next door is wearing my girlfriend's mother's white stockings?!"

If this continues, it might turn into a plot from the original story, right?

While Wen Shui was shocked, she didn't manage her expression well, and Kudo Yukiko saw it all clearly.

"What kind of look is that, you little brat?" Kudo Yukiko felt her cheeks burning, unsure whether to put on the white silk stockings or not.

So she simply threw the white silk in her hand onto the warm water on her face.

Warm water: ?

Warm Water: "Don't litter."

He ripped the white silk from his face; the smooth fabric still carried a faint warmth, probably from when Yukiko Kudo had rubbed it in her hands.

A faint, unfamiliar fragrance wafted towards me, unlike anything I'd ever tasted before.

If I'm not mistaken, the scent on this is most likely from Eri Kisaki...

Before Wen Shui could even finish his analysis, Kudo Yukiko suddenly snatched the white silk from Wen Shui's hand and looked at him warily.

Warm Water: "Why did you steal it again?"

Yukiko Kudo said with a stern face, "I always have a feeling you might do something strange."

"Don't accuse me wrongly. You're the one who threw the thing in my face," Wen Shui retorted, dissatisfied.

“But the look in your eyes just now was really strange,” Yukiko said.

At this moment, Ran also turned around and looked at Wen Shui with a suspicious gaze, but she seemed to be concerned about why Kudo Yukiko had thrown the white stockings at Wen Shui's face earlier: "Wen Shui-kun, you can't do that, Aunt Kudo is Shinichi's mother, aren't you good friends?"

There's no good or bad about it, and I don't have the kind of thoughts you're talking about.

Wen Shui couldn't help but complain in her heart.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri interrupted their argument: "Stop arguing, we're running out of time. We need to get to the villa on the outskirts of Shizuoka Prefecture before filming. I want to go over the lines with them beforehand."

Wen Shui and the others immediately fell silent.

Xiaolan pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, but she was actually observing Wenshui's expression.

Yukiko Kudo didn't choose to put on her socks in the car. Instead, she decided to wait until a highway rest area to go to the restroom and put on her white stockings.

Kogoro Mouri: "Ran, buckle up your seatbelt. I need to drive faster, or we'll definitely miss the filming time."

Xiaolan yanked the seatbelt over.

After fastening the belt, she couldn't help but say, "Dad, please don't drive too fast. Safety should be the priority. You almost caused a major accident just now."

"That's because you suddenly said Eri was coming too, that's why I lost control of the steering wheel," Kogoro Mouri said as he turned the steering wheel around.

Then he stepped on the gas, and the feeling of being pushed back into his seat came again.

The car sped off towards the highway.

.

Two hours later.

After driving along country roads in Shizuoka Prefecture for about twenty minutes, Wen Shui and his group finally spotted a luxurious villa far from the city center in the distance.

Kogoro Mouri: "I heard that this villa was bought by a wealthy businessman a few years ago, but later went bankrupt due to poor management, and the villa was sold and became part of a film company."

Uncle Mori suddenly lowered his voice: "But I heard that in this villa..."

Xiaolan immediately covered her ears.

"The interior decoration and furniture in this villa are almost brand new because the president who bought it has hardly ever come here," Uncle Mori continued. "It would be great if we could stay here for one night after filming is over."

The accommodation fee for such a luxury villa must be tens of thousands, right?

Xiaolan covered her ears and looked at Wenshui through the rearview mirror, trying to ask her with her eyes if she was in danger.

But Wen Shui was looking out at the woods and didn't notice what was happening here at all.

Ran took her hands off her ears, sighed, and said, "So, is it the ghost of that president's deceased wife, or is there something buried under the house?"

"What are you talking about?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled. "I mean, we might have a chance to stay here for the night."

After all, it's already getting dark, and it might rain later. These mountain roads are the hardest to drive on after it rains; it's very dangerous.

Xiaolan: "Huh? It's not a ghost story incident after all?"

"There aren't that many ghost stories, Ran, don't worry." Kudo Yukiko, who had changed into white stockings, said with a smile, "But Mori, don't be too happy yet. If we really can't get down the mountain because of the slippery road, the whole filming crew might have to stay in the villa to rest."

"Because these special shooting locations are all the property of the photography company, everyone tries to avoid messing up the things in the room when they are resting. Sometimes they even take their sleeping bags to the living room floor and sleep together."

Kogoro Mouri looked disappointed: "Oh, I see."

After being given a lecture by Yukiko Kudo, Uncle Mori clearly lost interest in staying in a villa and instead asked Ran, "By the way, Ran, could you look around and see if there are any hotels with nice views in the nearby towns?"

Xiaolan: "It's so late now, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a suitable place."

“We can’t live in the car, can we? It would be too tiring to drive straight back to Beika Town after filming the show,” Uncle Mori said. “Besides, I was just making a cameo appearance this time, and they gave me quite a bit of money…”

Uncle Mori suddenly stopped the conversation.

Xiaolan squinted, her tone icy: "Dad, didn't you say before that this was just a cameo performance and that there wasn't much pay?"

"Ah, this..."

"I'm going to ask that director in person later how much you were paid," Xiaolan threatened.

Uncle Mori's face was even uglier than when he learned he couldn't stay at the villa: "Well, actually the production company did give me a lot of money this time."

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, and since Mom will be coming over later, let's use the money from this guest appearance to treat everyone to a big meal."

"Wait a minute, I was planning to use that money to buy new golf clubs!" Kogoro Mori cried out in despair.

Everyone else in the car burst into laughter.

As they were talking, the car drove to the open area in front of the villa. There was a sign on the side of the road directing the car to turn onto the small road on the left.

After driving in, Wen Shui noticed that it seemed to be a parking lot that had been set up. There were several cars parked inside, and there were also quite a few cigarette butts near the entrance.

After parking the car, Wen Shui and her group got out. The temperature in the mountains was noticeably at least 5 degrees Celsius lower than in the city, but the air was very fresh.

Before Wen Shui and his group could even leave the parking lot, a member of the photography crew jogged over and said, "You must be Mr. Mori. You must have had a long journey."

Kogoro Mouri walked over and shook hands with the other person: "That's right, I am the famous detective Kogoro Mouri."

"That's great! We were just worried that it might rain in Beika Town, which would affect your driving time..."

The photography crew led everyone toward the villa.

As Wen Shui walked at the very back, her gaze involuntarily fell on Kudo Yukiko's long, beautiful legs encased in white stockings.

Even though the relationship here wasn't great, he could still feel the delicate texture of the rounded thighs under the pure white fabric.

Yukiko Kudo suddenly turned around and glared at Wen Shui.

Then she deliberately slowed down, walked shoulder to shoulder with Wen Shui, and said in a low voice, "What are you looking at? You little rascal."

"I've never seen you wear clothes like this before, I'm a little curious," Wen Shui said frankly.

Yukiko Kudo's delicate face, hidden behind her oversized sunglasses, blushed slightly: "This is the style Eri picked out. I don't usually like this style, so don't get the wrong idea."

Wen Shui: "Then I've never seen it before."

"You little rascal, do you want me to let you touch it?" Yukiko Kudo said angrily.

"Huh? Is that okay?" Wen Shui asked in surprise.

Yukiko Kudo raised her knee and gave Onami a light but not too hard knee strike, then caught up with the group with light steps.

Arriving at the main entrance of the villa, Wen Shui finally realized just how big this villa was; the small square in front of her felt almost as big as the castle of the Miyako family.

However, the decor here is noticeably more modern, with smooth blue bricks paving the straight road leading to the villa gate, and neatly trimmed lawns on both sides.
