Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Yu Cheng Liuli looked at Wen Shui in surprise: "Wow, that's amazing! I didn't expect you to actually be able to deduce things, handsome young man."

Wen Shui smiled and said, "It's nothing. These kinds of deliberately designed cases are child's play for me and Uncle Mori."

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head and grinned foolishly, feeling a growing fondness for Nuka-sui.

After all, there were so many people here, including his old classmate. If Wen Shui hadn't come to his rescue, Kogoro Mouri wouldn't have been so sure he would have made the connection to the black cue stick.

Yu Cheng Liuli looked at Wen Shui with her large, diamond-like eyes full of curiosity: "But you clearly came in later, and it seems no one told you what happened before, right? You really just guessed it out of thin air?"

"It's nothing. These kinds of cases are usually designed with some skill in mind," Wen Shui explained. "We don't want the audience to get annoyed, so the clues are all quite obvious and easy to guess."

Yu Cheng Liuli suddenly realized: "Oh, I see."

The corpse lying on the ground raised its head: "You live up to your reputation, Mr. Wen Shui. I read your report online before; that villa bandaged man case was really interesting."

Wen Shui: "Oh, not at all, it was just a coincidence that time."

Kazami Yoshiteru wasn't really angry at first, but when he saw Amashi Ruri talking to Wenshui and her acting like a little woman, he couldn't suppress his jealousy.

He stomped directly on the back of Nagumo Nobuharu, who was lying on the ground playing the role of a corpse: "If you're a corpse, just act like a corpse. Talking nonsense will scare people."

Nagumo Nobuharu let out a painful scream.

The other actors immediately rushed over and pushed Yoshiki Kazami away.

Yu Cheng Liuli glared at the other person: "Are you crazy? He's just playing the role of a corpse, he's not really dead."

"What does it matter? I'm teaching him about the self-cultivation of an actor," said Yoshiteru Kazami with an indifferent expression.

The other party's arrogant attitude made Nan Yunxiao unable to hold back any longer. She walked over and grabbed Fengjian Lianghui's collar: "You bastard, I've put up with you for a long time."

The actor playing the corpse, Nobuharu Nagumo, is the son of Akira Nagumo. Seeing his son being humiliated in front of him like this, the father was naturally furious.

However, Kazami Yoshiteru's words silenced Nagumo Akira:

"What, you want to fight? No problem. I just happen to want to expose your secret rendezvous with your lover to the reporters. If you don't want that woman's career to end, you'd better apologize to me honestly."

Nan Yunxiao seemed to have all her strength drained away, and she loosened her grip on the collar.

Kazami Yoshiteru uttered a few more harsh words, then slammed the door and left.

Nan Yunxiao, looking rather unwell, was persuaded to rest to the side; it seemed the commotion had subsided.

However, Wen Shui had just noticed that when Kazami Yoshiki mentioned that Nagumo Akira was having a secret rendezvous with her lover that night, Amashi Ruri's expression suddenly became extremely tense.

No way?

Could there really be such a melodramatic plot?

Wen Shui racked her brains trying to recall the case, but because her mind was filled with too many details, she just couldn't remember any information about the case.

However, just to be on the safe side, Wen Shui decided to first look for a breakthrough in Yu Cheng Liu Li.

Wen Shui walked up to Yu Cheng Liuli and said, "Want to go outside for a smoke and relax?"

"Sorry, I don't smoke." Yu Cheng Liuli frowned slightly, but still maintained a faint smile.

Wen Shui smiled: "That's great, I don't smoke either."

Rain City Glass: ? ?

Chapter 217 Argument, then lying in the older sister's arms

Yu Cheng Liuli paused for a moment, then smiled gently: "Little brother Wen Shui, you wouldn't happen to want to go on a date with me, would you?"

"I didn't mean that at all." Wen Shui shrugged. "I just wanted to ask you something first. You know, detectives are very curious and want to find out the truth when they see something unusual."

Yu Cheng Liuli gently shook her head: "That's not the correct answer."

"The correct answer? What is that?" Wen Shui asked, puzzled.

Yu Cheng Liuli just looked at him quietly, her lips, painted with deep red lipstick, curving into a charming smile, and the mole below her lips added a touch of widowhood to her aura.

Actually, Wen Shui didn't know why seeing this mole would remind her of a widow.

Perhaps it was because of an actress with a similar image in a movie I watched when I was a child.

However, if we really put ourselves in the role, the female protagonist played by Yu Cheng Liuli seems to have a husband who has died. Not only that, she has also just "died" her son-in-law. Would it be a bit inappropriate for me to invite her out for some fresh air like this?

Wen Shui's mind was wandering when suddenly a brilliant idea struck her.

Wen Shui suddenly realized: "Could it be... that I should have said I wanted to go on a date with you, and that would have been the right answer?"

“You got it right.” Yu Cheng Liuli smiled brightly. “But it was much slower than how you saw through the murderer’s methods. It seems that Mr. Wen Shui still lacks a lot of experience in dealing with women.”

Wen Shui felt a little uneasy listening to the other person's suggestive words.

No way, could it be that my charm has reached the point where I can attract all the women around me indiscriminately?

The problem is that this woman is Eri Kisaki and Uncle Mori's classmate. Although she looks to be only in her early twenties and has never been married, her slender figure and strong married woman vibe are like a perfectly ripe peach, ready to be picked and tasted.

But isn't this identity a bit too sensitive?

Wen Shui touched her nose: "Miss Yu Cheng, please stop joking with me. If Xiao Lan hears this, she'll use me as a punching bag to practice karate again."

"Hehehe." Yu Cheng Liuli covered her mouth and chuckled. "So it's Ran? I thought it was Miss Kudo at first."

"It's impossible no matter how you look at it, Shinichi and I are good friends," Wen Shui said.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiaolan rushed over, patting Wen Shui on the shoulder in a friendly manner: "Wen Shui-kun, what are you two talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Wen Shui: "I'm asking Miss Yu Cheng some questions about the filming..."

Rain City Ruri: "I really want to know what Teitan is like now..."

The two spoke at the same time, but gave completely different answers.

Xiaolan smiled and squinted, "Oh, I see. Our school hasn't changed much. Last time Dad went to deliver something to me, he said when he got home that many of the facilities were there when he was young."

While Xiaolan politely explained to Yucheng Liuli, she secretly pinched Wenshui's arm with her hand.

Wen Shui looked pained, but because she was in the wrong, she had no choice but to accept the punishment from Xiao Lan.

During a break from chatting with Xiaolan, Yu Cheng Liuli also conveyed her apology with her eyes, saying, "I'm sorry, I made you suffer."

Because the living room was so big, Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki, who were standing next to the director, didn't even notice what was happening here.

Fortunately, this sudden chaotic situation did not last too long.

Nagumo Nobuharu, who had just been trampled underfoot by Kazami Yoshiteru, got up from the ground and slammed his fist into the floor, his face contorted with rage: "Damn it, that bastard Kazami, he didn't even treat me like an actor."

Wen Shui was surprised that after being stepped on the head, Nan Yun Shen Qing was more concerned about the fact that the other party did not treat him as an actor, rather than being angry about being humiliated in front of everyone.

It's really hard to understand this person's thought process.

However, Wen Shui quickly imagined Nagumo Nobuharu holding a knife, standing in front of Kazami Yoshiteru, saying something like, "You actually destroyed my heart to pursue my dreams," and then killing him mercilessly.

After all, this kind of situation is not uncommon in Conan; it seems that every resident of Beika Town has their own unfulfilled dreams.

Therefore, if they are slightly influenced by others, they will turn evil and kill without hesitation.

Wen Shui carefully observed the expression on Nan Yun Shenqing's face and found that he made no attempt to hide his malice towards Kazami Yoshiki, and he even showed it in front of everyone.

Although his behavior might seem suspicious to outsiders, Wen Shui believes that in the world of Detective Conan, such characters are usually there to mislead the audience.

On the contrary, Nagumo Nobuharu's father, Nagumo Akira, who was standing next to him, had lost his anger and looked like an old man whose edges had been worn down by life. He and the director comforted their son.

Could the murderer be Nagumo Akira?

Although, in terms of motive, Nagumo Akira is indeed a prime suspect, the words Kazami Yoshiki left behind before leaving also make Amashi Ruri a significant suspect.

Wen Shui frowned slightly. Was it another one of the familiar three-choice options?

At this moment, the director said earnestly, "Brother Nagumo, there's no use in getting angry. After all, the main sponsor of our show is Yoshiaki Kazami's father."

"When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Let's focus on making this drama well first. If the ratings are high, we'll have more leverage to negotiate."

Nagumo Nobuharu was young after all, and his anger came and went quickly.

After everyone offered a few words of advice and spoke on his behalf, the anger on his face quickly disappeared, and he returned to his previous somewhat docile, squinty-eyed appearance.

After waiting for a long time, Yoshiki Kazami, who slammed the door and left, did not return to the filming location.

Without him as the main character, the show simply couldn't have continued.

The director sighed, "Sigh, this is going to delay the filming process again. Oh well, let's all take a 30-minute break. I'll go talk to Yoshiteru Kazami."

As he spoke, the director took out his phone and pushed the door open to leave.

The staff put away their props and equipment, and then walked out of the living room in small groups.

Wen Shui noticed Conan sneaking around behind the crowd, seemingly heading somewhere.

Just as Wen Shui was about to follow, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder: "Mr. Wen Shui, didn't you say you had something to say to me?"

Even without turning around, Wen Shui could smell the fragrance of white plum blossoms emanating from Yu Cheng Liuli. It was elegant and serene, and one could vaguely sense the loneliness deep within her heart from the scent.

She was a very special woman among all the women Wen Shui encountered after her time travel.

However, Uncle Mori and the others came with her, and Wen Shui had some questions for Yu Cheng Liu Li.

However, he couldn't very well ask her in front of her old classmate if she had some kind of improper relationship with that old geezer Nan Yunxiao; that would be too impolite.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "I suddenly had an idea. Let me think about it some more. If I can't think of anything, I'll have to ask you for help."

Xiao Lan's eyes lit up, and she rushed over, inadvertently separating Wen Shui and Yu Cheng Liuli: "Huh, have we discovered some mystery? Could there really be a corpse buried under this villa?"

"How could such a thing possibly happen?" Wen Shui smiled helplessly.

Yu Cheng Liuli: "Alright, let's go out for some fresh air and change our mood. After all, we'll have to see Kazami's grumpy face when we come back. Just thinking about it is annoying."

The group came out of the living room, and Yu Cheng Liuli led them down a different path, saying it would lead directly to the small garden behind the villa.

Kogoro Mouri looked out the window of the corridor at the dark, dense forest: "Hey Ruri, if you hate that Yoshiteru Kazami so much, why do you participate in this kind of program?"

Yu Cheng Liuli said dejectedly, "There's nothing I can do. This show has one of the highest ratings I can get, so my agency insisted that I participate."

Given the current economic downturn, it's always good to earn more money.

After all, I'm getting old and have never had a boyfriend. I might end up alone, so I need to save some money.

Seemingly because she had run into an old classmate she hadn't seen in a long time, Yu Cheng Liuli couldn't help but pour out her grievances.

Kogoro Mouri advised, "Well... it's not so bad, really. To be honest, the job is really tough these days. I suffered a lot while looking for a cat."

If it's just work-related contact, I think I can barely accept it, and the show's ratings are indeed very high. The fact that they offered me such an unexpected price for this invitation is quite surprising.
