Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

"Huh? You're actually scared? But you were the one who attacked first!"

Wen Shui deliberately feigned a surprised expression.

Yukiko Kudo was so angry that she gritted her teeth, wishing she could suffocate the boy by pressing him into his pectoral muscles. However, because Eri Kisaki was right behind her, she could only swallow her anger and try to make the blush on her face disappear as soon as possible to prevent anyone from noticing the problem.

Although he was thinking about ways for actors to manage their stage fright, the resentment and humiliation in his heart never disappeared.

Damn it, he found another opportunity. Is this little rascal my nemesis?

This was clearly her show, and Eri should have been an insurmountable opponent for him, so why did he steer the conversation back to her?

The intense sense of defeat caused Yukiko Kudo to lose the will to continue fighting.

However, she couldn't help but ask angrily, "Aren't you afraid that Eri will find out?"

"Know what?"

"Won't we be misunderstood if we act like this?" Yukiko Kudo struggled for a long time but couldn't explain that their relationship was more like a romantic one.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "We didn't do anything outrageous, it was just a joke, what do I have to be afraid of?"

"But didn't you just say that you can't make those kinds of jokes with Eri?" Yukiko Kudo pressed.

Wen Shui sighed: "Didn't I just say that you and Ying Li are different, you idiot?"

"Idiot?!"

Yukiko Kudo's eyes widened: "That's the kind of term you use to address your lover, you brat. Get your dirty thoughts out of your head."

"Not necessarily. Sometimes we use it when educating our children," Wen Shui said.

Yukiko Kudo's expression changed slightly: "Do you want me to be your mother?"

Wen Shui hesitated for a moment, then said, "This doesn't seem to conflict, can we do it together?"

"Dream on, you bastard!" Mrs. Kudo finally couldn't contain her anger and shame and threw a punch at Wen Shui.

However, she was different from Eri Koran, and did not have such strong fighting skills. Even when she clenched her fair and delicate hands into a fist, they were still soft.

Moreover, he subconsciously pulled back his fist before it touched the warm water on his cheek.

Therefore, in theory, you shouldn't feel much pain from warm water.

But in reality, Wen Shui was shot in a very exaggerated way, like a movie special effect, with her entire body flying backwards and falling down the stairs.

Eri Kisaki stood there dumbfounded.

"Why are you two suddenly fighting? Weren't you discussing where you'd stay later?" Eri Kisaki rushed over to break up the fight.

“Ask him.” Yukiko Kudo glared angrily at Wen Shui, using her anger to mask her original shame and panic, thus preventing Eri Kisaki from noticing anything amiss.

Eri Kisaki turned her gaze to the warm water and couldn't help but rub her forehead.

She was standing at the entrance of the villa where the umbrella stand was, and behind her were the filming crew members discussing what to do next in the program, while Kogoro Mouri kept laughing.

As a result, Eri Kisaki completely missed what Nukumizu and Yukiko were discussing—whether they were deciding to go to a hotel or a guesthouse.

The reason why Eiichiro didn't rush to ask about the result was that he wanted to take the opportunity to observe the relationship between Yukiko and Onamizu.

Unexpectedly, the two of them started fighting.

Fei Ying thought for a moment. Although she knew that Wen Shui's fall was a bit exaggerated, she still decided to help him up first.

After all, this wasn't home; there were people from the film crew and her old classmate, Yu Cheng Liuli, present. It wouldn't be good to be laughed at.

However, before Eri could even walk over and grab Wen Shui's hand...

Yukiko Kudo swiftly stepped in front of her, grabbing Onami's arm to help him up.

Eri quickly hugged Yukiko from behind: "Calm down, Yukiko. There are people from the entertainment industry outside. If you fight, they'll expose it as dirt on you."

"I didn't hit him hard at all. This kid is such a good actor. Damn it, I'm going to teach him a lesson."

Yukiko Kudo was making a fuss, but what she was really worried about was that Eri Kisaki might slip and fall while getting warm water and end up hugging each other.

Having experienced this kind of thing so many times, Mrs. Kudo has developed an early warning mechanism.

Unfortunately, I've never succeeded before.

Wen Shui knew that causing a scene here would damage Yukiko's image; he had only acted impulsively and chosen the most eye-catching tactic.

Of course, Mrs. Kudo also bears some responsibility for this.

Even though she's Shinichi's mother, she can still react so adorably. It's really hard not to tease her, Numizu thought.

Just as chaos erupted at the stairwell, Xiaolan emerged from the second-floor restroom.

She stood at the top of the stairs and looked down, and then she saw an incredible scene.

Is this... a fight?

Xiaolan rubbed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was met with a scene that she still couldn't understand.

However, she quickly ran downstairs and stopped the inexplicable conflict.

After pulling Wen Shui up from the ground, Yukiko Kudo explained that it was because Wen Shui said she liked staying in a luxury hotel with a big bed and didn't like sleeping on the floor on the tatami mat in the guesthouse, and the two of them argued about it.

This reason is actually not very convincing.

However, in her desperation, Yukiko Kudo couldn't think of a better explanation.

Upon learning the reason, Eri Kisaki was both amused and exasperated: "Yukiko, you're so old, why are you still acting like a child?"

"People who argue about whether to drizzle soy sauce or dip in sauce when eating fried eggs have no right to say that to me."

Yukiko Kudo's childlike stubbornness actually made this explanation more reasonable.

Just as Eri was lecturing Nukumizu and Yukiko.

Xiao Lan, standing nearby, was already imagining that since Wen Shui preferred the king-size bed in a luxury hotel, the room's decor after the wedding would have to be in a Western style.

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri walked in from the villa entrance: "Hey, have you guys made up your minds yet? I have to help film a program later, so hurry up and decide."

Wen Shui looked at Eri and Ran.

Eri Kisaki smiled slightly: "Ran and I prefer the environment of the guesthouse."

Wen Shui: "Then let's go with a guesthouse. I don't really care."

Uncle Mori nodded, turned around, and went out to discuss it with the director. Wen Shui and the others followed him out.

During the process, Wenshui leaned close to Kudo Yukiko and complained in a low voice, "Seriously, I'm afraid I'll be branded as someone who doesn't like sleeping on tatami mats from now on, even though I used to really enjoy it."

After saying that, Wen Shui walked straight out of the villa.

Yukiko Kudo, however, seemed to be struck by lightning and stood frozen in place.

The memory of her last trip to the beach, where she tried to impersonate Ai Haibara to test Wen Shui, only to be tackled to the tatami floor of a beach hotel room by Wen Shui, flashed through her mind.

That night, she dreamed of warm water and trees for the first time.

Is that why you like sleeping on a tatami bed?

As Yukiko Kudo gazed at Awami's broad arms, she felt as if she had returned to that night, and a hint of tears gradually welled up in her large eyes.

Of course, "warm water" was just a casual remark.

He didn't think that much about it.

Chapter 230 At the hot spring inn, Mrs. Kudo changed into a yukata.

As Wen Shui emerged from the villa, he saw that cameras and lighting equipment had been set up again on both sides of the lawn in front of the villa. A makeup artist was standing in front of Kogoro Mouri, touching up his makeup, probably to reshoot the videotape that had been destroyed earlier.

Everyone on the film crew got busy.

The lively scene before them gave one the illusion that the murder just now was a harmless prank, but considering that this was a scientific world, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.

Ran and Eri surrounded Ruri Amashiro, seemingly trying to comfort her, but it wasn't very effective.

Yu Cheng Liuli's forced smile clearly showed that she couldn't get over the fact that her father had killed someone because of her.

Wen Shui felt she should go over and say something, and also tell everyone about her plan to go to the beach in Shizuoka Prefecture the next day, hoping to lighten the somber mood.

However, when I got there, I was surprised by Yu Cheng Liuli's attitude.

"Huh? Are you going to continue performing?" Wen Shui asked in surprise.

He thought that Ruri Amashiro wouldn't be participating in the filming of this program. When he was standing at the door just now, he also heard the staff talking about how the director was preparing to change the script and that Yukiko Kudo would replace Ruri Amashiro as a special guest.

This decision is also reasonable, after all, the man's father had just been arrested by the police.

Although the two only recently recognized each other and their relationship isn't that deep yet, they are still father and daughter by blood!

Forcing them to continue performing at this point is just too cruel.

Faced with Wen Shui's questioning gaze, Yu Cheng Liuli explained, "Actually, it was my own decision. When my father and I met before, he often said that actors should not let their personal matters affect filming."

Before leaving, he told me not to retire from the entertainment industry because of him, so I've decided to do my best to complete today's performance.

A resolute expression appeared on Yu Cheng Liuli's face, which seemed out of place with her widowed demeanor.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but clasp her hands together in front of her chest: "Miss Yu Cheng, I think Mr. Nan Yun would be very happy if he saw your program in prison."

“Riri, I suddenly felt the conviction of an actor in you,” Yukiko Kudo echoed.

It seems everyone wants to use this method to help Yucheng Liuli get out of the gloom as soon as possible.

Wen Shui also said with admiration, "Wow, that's amazing. I felt the courage to live from Miss Yu Cheng."

"What do you mean by having the courage to live? Wen Shui, stop acting silly right now," Xiao Lan couldn't help but complain.

Yukiko Kudo snorted coldly: "Out of place. You really don't understand what women need when they are vulnerable."

Then everyone ganged up on Wen Shui and lectured her, even Uncle Mori complained about her.

However, just as everyone was criticizing Wen Shui, Yu Cheng Liuli suddenly let out a soft laugh.

Everyone turned to look at her.

Yu Cheng Liuli brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her expression softening slightly: "Is this what young people are saying these days? How interesting, Mr. Wen Shui, thank you for your comfort."

Wen Shui scratched his head: "To be honest, I'm a little ashamed, after all, I was the one who found the clues about your father's murder..."

"Please don't say that!" Yu Cheng Liuli interrupted Wen Shui, then said with a serious expression, "On the contrary, I should thank you. If you hadn't discovered the evidence, Father might have done something even more serious and unacceptable to everyone."

And isn't the detective's belief to find the truth?
