Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui was speechless for a moment.

"Stop messing around, they're filming a movie, everyone's watching this side." Wen Shui dodged Xiao Lan's attack.

Then, Wen Shui sniffed and looked at Yukiko: "But the perfume you're wearing today is noticeably different from usual..."

Before Wen Shui could finish speaking, Kudo Yukiko covered his mouth with her hand: "I'm always this young and energetic, hahaha~"

Then Yukiko immediately lowered her voice and threatened, "You brat, didn't I say that an old friend is here today? You bastard, watch your step."

Like a hostage being threatened by a thug, Wen Shui blinked to indicate that she understood.

But Yukiko Kudo seemed to be punishing her for what had just happened, so she pretended not to hear.

Ran, standing nearby, stared at Aunt Kudo's pectoral muscles with some concern, pressing her cheeks against the skin, but she couldn't show it due to her status and could only try to persuade her from the side.

The filming location, which was originally filled with an atmosphere of mystery and suspense, was disrupted by the noise from Wen Shui and his group.

The previously heavy and oppressive atmosphere vanished instantly.

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri's angry voice came from the middle of the filming location: "Warm Water Boy, can't you behave yourself? We're filming an important movie right now, damn it..."

Wen Shui then realized that his flirting with Yukiko Kudo had drawn everyone's attention to this.

Wen Shui raised his hand high: "Mine."

Kogoro Mouri glanced at them with displeasure, because it wasn't Ran who was playfully splashing around with the warm water, but Yukiko Kudo. As an adult, Mouri felt that Yukiko should be able to control herself.

As for Conan, who wasn't entirely comfortable with the warm water, he disappeared somewhere when filming started.

Even though Wenshui and Yukiko Kudo made such a big commotion, Conan didn't show up.

This made Wen Shui look around at the dense forest with some worry. Could that kid have been kidnapped by bad guys? It seems that Conan's personality is indeed the kind that if he sees a strange person in the woods, he will secretly follow them to find out.

Wen Shui was hoping he could get some free cases; it would be troublesome if he got arrested.

However, Wen Shui doesn't have time to look for Conan right now, because the commotion he and Yukiko Kudo are causing has attracted the gossipy eyes of the surrounding staff. Everyone seems to be speculating whether Wen Shui is with Ran Mouri's classmate or Yukiko Kudo's lover.

Kudo Yukiko blushed as she was stared at with strange looks. She released Wenshui and explained, "Actually, this boy named Wenshui is very close to my good-for-nothing son. He's practically my son, and I often discipline him like this."

The people around him looked like they had just realized something.

Wen Shui couldn't help but roll her eyes and muttered under her breath, "You're lying again. I'm the one who bullies you more usually."

"Stop nagging, my face, my face!" Kudo Yukiko gritted her teeth and secretly pinched Wen Shui's waist again.

The warm water made him wince in pain.

At this moment, director Ken Shiroyama picked up a megaphone and shouted, "Attention all departments, let's do it again. This time, make the lighting a little weaker to create a terrifying and dark atmosphere."

The lights at the villa entrance were all turned off again, and the same filming process was repeated.

This time, no one caused trouble, and Uncle Mori performed even better than before, filming his opening remarks in one take.

"Great, card!"

Following director Ken Shiroyama's instructions, the cameraman removed the camera from in front of Uncle Mori, and the others packed up their equipment and began preparing for the actual filming of the mystery drama.

The lights in the villa were turned on again, and two lights were left on in the square for illumination.

The surrounding environment suddenly transformed from a dark, dense forest into a perfect outdoor camping site for a barbecue party.

The director wiped his eyes with a glasses cloth, smiled, and walked up to him: "That's wonderful, Mr. Mori. I didn't expect your performance to be so perfect. You truly live up to your reputation as the famous detective Kogoro Mori."

Uncle Mori flashed his signature tongue-out grin: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just my old job."

Xiaolan took out a bouquet of flowers from somewhere, probably prepared in advance, and went over to give it to Uncle Mori: "Dad, you were so cool just now, you were completely different from usual."

Kogoro Mouri felt a warmth in his heart: "Eh? You even prepared flowers? This child, you really went to great lengths for me."

It's customary here that after filming wraps up, the crew presents the actors with flowers as a gesture of respect. Xiaolan knows that her father is only making a cameo appearance in a mystery drama, which is different from regular movies and TV series, so there's a high probability that he won't receive this gesture.

That's why this little ceremony was specially prepared, and it really moved Uncle Mori to tears.

The director and crew members around him came over to help celebrate, and the scene suddenly felt like a movie wrap party.

Standing next to Wenshui, Yukiko Kudo looked on with envy: "Ran is so thoughtful. I wish I had a daughter like her."

Wen Shui subconsciously retorted, "Stop dreaming. Everyone says daughters resemble their mothers. Even if you have..."

Wen Shui suddenly paused halfway through her sentence.

Because he suddenly realized that Ran's personality was neither like her mother Eri Kisaki's nor like Kogoro Mouri's, he couldn't continue with this explanation.

Before Kudo Yukiko could even exchange words with him, Wen Shui felt a faint killing intent coming from behind her.

Recalling Conan's previous disappearance, Wen Shui did not turn around directly to attract the other party's attention, but instead used her peripheral vision to observe the direction from which the murderous aura was coming.

As a result, they saw Eri Kisaki and Conan standing at the back of the crowd, looking at Kogoro Mouri who was surrounded by everyone.

Wen Shui couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

No wonder Conan didn't rush over when he was entangled with Yukiko Kudo earlier; it turns out he was kidnapped by Eri Kisaki.

Because of childhood trauma, Conan doesn't dare to be too unrestrained or show Shinichi Kudo's personality when Eri Kisaki is around, for fear of being noticed by her.

Judging from her expression, Eri Kisaki seemed to have heard what Numizu said and was a little unhappy.

Although Yukiko Kudo didn't notice Eri Kisaki's presence, she understood what Nuku had just said and said fiercely, "You little brat, are you trying to say that if I had a daughter, she definitely wouldn't be as gentle and virtuous as Ran?"

Wen Shui: "Of course! It's not like I don't know Shinichi Kudo. We're in the same class."

“How can boys and girls be the same?” Yukiko Kudo nudged Wen Shui with her shoulder, clearly annoyed. “If I had a daughter, she would definitely be a gentle Yamato Nadeshiko like Ran.”

Warm Water: "I don't believe it."

"You wretched brat, believe me or not I'll give you... a chance another day..."

Yukiko Kudo was used to bickering with Numizu, and instinctively wanted to retort, but she realized that the conversation was a bit off halfway through.

Wen Shui followed her words and tentatively asked, "How about you give me a daughter to try?"

"Who, who wants to have a daughter for you?" Yukiko blushed and jumped away, like a fertilized little rabbit.

At the same time, Eri Kisaki and Conan, who were also holding bouquets, happened to walk up and overheard Nukumizu and Yukiko discussing having a daughter.

Conan's face turned green.

Behind him, there were battle flames resembling those of a Super Saiyan, but unfortunately, they were green.

Eri Kisaki's expression was also somewhat solemn. She hadn't expected that what she had worried about would actually happen. She had already gotten pregnant after only a few days apart?

Yukiko is so careless about safety, she should at least wear a... no, no!

Eri Kisaki snapped out of her daze. This kind of thing shouldn't happen at all, right? Yukiko is Nuku's elder, and Ran is also very close to Nuku and Itsuki.

Eri Kisaki frowned. Although she occasionally helped wealthy young ladies and gentlemen with similar matters.

But now, the person in question has to choose between their own daughter and their best friend whom they've known since childhood.

Eri Kisaki never imagined that she would encounter such a difficult situation one day.

Chapter 213 Does Eri Kisaki also like young detectives?

Yukiko Kudo was about to put on a stern face and reprimand Onami in the manner of an elder, telling him to watch his words in the future.

Suddenly, she noticed that Wen Shui's gaze was fixed on what was behind her, and her expression was somewhat uneasy.

Yukiko Kudo sneered: "It's no use. I won't fall for such a little trick. You're probably trying to pretend there's a ghost behind me, and then run to the crowd so I can't confront you while I turn around, right?"

At this moment, Nukumizu and Yukiko were quite far away from the surrounded Uncle Mori, which is why Nukumizu dared to make that kind of joke with Yukiko Kudo.

Warm Water: "I didn't, I didn't. You'll see when you turn around."

Yukiko Kudo frowned slightly. It seemed that this kid wasn't lying to her. Could there really be something behind him?

But then she thought, something's not right. Yukiko clearly remembered that they came from this direction.

Logically, there should still be filming equipment set up behind her and in the dark forest, with staff members taking a short break next to the equipment.

Yukiko Kudo turned her head suspiciously, and her slender, snow-white neck looked even more alluring after being stretched.

Through the gaps in her long, curly hair that hung down beside her ears, one could clearly see the faint veins beneath her fair, jade-like skin, making one want to take a bite.

Yukiko Kudo froze on the spot:

"No, I didn't, you've misunderstood."

Yukiko Kudo subconsciously uttered the same three denials as Nuwa, but this detail made Eri Kisaki's heart tighten even more.

These small details can actually reveal the truth behind the mystery.

Eri glanced at Conan beside her and sighed, "Conan-kun, why don't you go find Ran-neechan first? Aunt Kudo and I have something to discuss."

Conan was standing still, staring blankly at Yukiko Kudo's small belly under her white dress.

Yukiko Kudo looked at Wen Shui, tears welling up in her eyes. She was clearly unable to accept being misunderstood by both her son and best friend as being pregnant with Wen Shui's child.

After all, such absurd things are relatively rare in this world.

Even if you occasionally hear rumors, most of them are just gossip about wealthy and powerful families, things that are hard for ordinary people to encounter in their daily lives.

Wen Shui sighed and walked up to Eri: "Eri-nee, I think you might have misunderstood."

"A misunderstanding?" Eri Kisaki's expression remained unchanged.

Wen Shui nodded and recounted how they had talked about how gentle Xiao Lan was, and then how the two of them had argued.

Eri Kisaki swept her scrutinizing gaze over the two "suspects." Although Wenshui's explanation was consistent with her understanding of Yukiko, she decided to stay with Yukiko tonight to be on the safe side and try to find out the truth.

Even if things weren't as serious as Eiji imagined, she felt she should still give Yukiko a little reminder.

After hearing Wen Shui's explanation, Conan recalled Wen Shui's behavior when she met with his mother recently, and his doubts dissipated.

"I was too impulsive," Conan couldn't help but reflect on himself. With his mother's personality, if she really had some kind of relationship with Wenshui that went beyond friendship, she would have been able to tell at a glance.

Although Yukiko Kudo is an actress, she is even more of a romantic.

The subtle gestures and glances you make in front of someone you like are absolutely impossible to hide.

But seriously, that was terrifying! If his mother really had found someone else, Conan wouldn't know what to do. He knew a thing or two about his mystery novelist father's social engagements.

Respecting his parents' choice seems to be Conan's only option at that time.

The problem now is, why does Wen Shui and Shu always get involved in things so inexplicably? Conan really can't accept that the gloomy guy who used to be quiet in class has suddenly become his stepfather.

Not to mention, Xiaolan is also in a dangerous situation right now.
