Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

The word "prisoner" had become a conditioned reflex for Sato Miwako. Upon hearing it, she immediately sat up straight with a start: "Prisoner? Where is he?"

Wen Shui pointed behind her: "Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi are here. Hurry up and wipe your legs clean."

Miwako breathed a sigh of relief and slowly reached for tissues in the drawer: "Seriously, don't try to scare me with those kinds of words. I almost pulled out my revolver and shot you on the spot."

He wiped his mouth with warm water: "Why would you execute me? I'm not a criminal."

Miwako's beautiful eyes widened: "How could it not be? Didn't you just assault a police officer for an extended period of time?"

"That's what you made me do." Wen Shui clicked her tongue. "And you clearly looked like you were enjoying it. Okay, stop talking and hurry up and wipe your legs."

Although the body was discovered early, Ran and Sonoko are not to be underestimated. As one of the top "corpse discovery" duos in Detective Conan, Ran and Sonoko's ability to discover crime scenes is still commendable.

Just as Wenshui and Miwako were bickering, Xiaolan and Sonoko arrived.

After seeing Wenshui and Sato Miwako through the car window, Xiaolan opened Wenshui's car door with a dark face: "Wenshui-kun, is this what you said you were going to do?"

An angry phantom image appeared behind Sonoko Suzuki: "Liar, big liar!"

Wen Shui forced a smile and said, "Well, let me explain. Actually, I was analyzing intelligence with Officer Sato..."

Wen Shui stopped mid-sentence, because he saw Sato Miwako slowly wiping the marks on her legs with a tissue, saying apologetically, "Oh dear, it seems I'm still a bit slow~"

You did this on purpose, didn't you?

Wen Shui glared angrily, only to be met with a mischievous smile from Sato Miwako.

At first, Xiaolan thought that Wenshui and Sato Miwako were just having a secret date, having lunch in the car or something. But when she opened the car door, the scene was very similar to the crime scene that had happened to her a while ago, which made Xiaolan suddenly alert.

Ran turned around instantly and covered Sonoko Suzuki's eyes with her hands: "You can't look, you can't look! Sonoko, you'll be corrupted."

Sonoko Suzuki forcefully pried Ran's arm apart: "Wait a minute, Ran, aren't we on the same side?"

While Ran and Sonoko were arguing, Sato Miwako also showed a startled expression. She shyly grabbed the edge of her school uniform skirt with her small hands, lowered her head, and was too embarrassed to look Ran in the eye. But Awami always felt that she seemed to be doing it on purpose.

Ran's anger clearly rose to a threshold due to Miwako Sato's reaction.

As the anger that had been building up in her chest continued to fester, it finally broke through Ran's rationality. Without carefully checking the marks on Sato Miwako's legs, she threw a punch at Wen Shui.

"what!"

Wen Shui raised her arm to defend herself, but it was still difficult to resist the power that Ran unleashed. It's probably impossible for anyone in the world of Detective Conan to resist it.

He slid his entire body into Miwako Sato's arms, and the two bodies became entangled.

This development was unexpected even by Miwako Sato.

Xiaolan stared at her fist in astonishment.

Why does the act of offering lukewarm water to another woman actually lower my anger level?!

.

Twenty minutes later, Wen Shui sat in the middle of the back seat.

Beside him were Ran and Sonoko, who were standing with their arms crossed and scrutinizing him. Sato Miwako finally managed to slowly clean the cream off her stockings, which could easily be misunderstood, but by then it was too late.

"So, you guys were really just eating ice cream?" Xiaolan looked at Wenshui with a suspicious expression.

Wen Shui nodded obediently.

Sonoko Suzuki snorted: "Why would you make your legs look like that while eating ice cream? And the cream on the corner of your mouth looks a bit suspicious."

Wen Shui shrugged: "What's suspicious about the cream? I just ate an ice cream cone and didn't wipe it clean."

Sonoko Suzuki propped herself up on the sofa with both hands and brought her face close to the corner of Wen Shui's mouth to examine it carefully: "But I always feel that this cream smells like Officer Sato's stockings."

Wen Shui: "How could that be? You can't just say things like that even hunting dogs can't tell the difference."

“But I just find it very suspicious.” Sonoko Suzuki’s sixth sense was surprisingly sharp.

Wen Shui's expression changed slightly: "Then try it if you don't believe me... Ah, it hurts!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaolan and Sato Miwako, who was sitting in the front row, raised their little fists together. In the end, Xiaolan's fist was closer and punched Wenshui on the head first.

The two exchanged an awkward glance, then a fierce fighting spirit ignited in each other's eyes.

Ran twirled her wrist and lectured, "You can't say things that will make girls misunderstand. What if Sonoko actually believes you and gives you her first kiss? How are you going to take responsibility then?"

“That’s right, that’s right.” Sato Miwako pulled out handcuffs and waved them in the air. “If you harass women in public, I can take you back.”

Wen Shui blinked innocently.

Sonoko Suzuki pondered with a playful expression, wondering if he would take full responsibility if Nukumi accidentally stole her first kiss, or would he cruelly abandon her and choose another woman?

After this thought popped into Sonoko's head, what surprised her was...

No matter which choice Wen Shui makes, she will feel a strong sense of excitement deep inside, even if it is the option that is cruelly rejected.

.

This farce ultimately ended with the "ironclad evidence" presented by Wen Shui.

However, Wen Shui vaguely felt that this incident was not going to end so simply, because when Sato Miwako drove away and waved goodbye, both she and Xiao Lan had a strong fighting spirit burning in their eyes.

On the contrary, Miss Sonoko kept her head down, picking up pebbles from the roadside with her little leather shoes, seemingly lost in thought.

Wen Shui watched Sato Miwako's red Mazda disappear from sight, then glanced at the time and turned to the two female detectives, saying, "Let's hurry back too, it's getting late, we have class this afternoon."

As she spoke, Wen Shui brushed past the two of them and walked towards the entrance of Teitan.

However, Ran and Sonoko quickly grabbed their ears at the same time: "Wait a minute, we didn't even have enough lunch because we were investigating you, Numizu-kun, how do you think you're going to compensate us?"

Wen Shui: "Just now, didn't I share the lunchboxes that my loving care... ah, no! It was a gift from the Metropolitan Police Department's boss with the two of you?"

After the explanation was cleared up, the three of them finished their lunch in the car.

Xiao Lan said with a smile, "How could that little bit of food possibly fill you up? I can eat two whole boxes by myself."

"Why didn't you suggest that Miwako take us to the nearby burger joint to buy something?" Wen Shui asked, puzzled.

Sonoko Suzuki snorted: "Warm Water, that's your problem. It's very impolite for a girl to show a big appetite in front of her own kind."

Xiaolan nodded in agreement.

Wen Shui couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement at Xiao Lan's flat stomach, thinking to herself, "You don't seem to need to do this. You clearly demonstrated your amazing ability to eat when we were eating barbecue."

Xiaolan pointed to the ice cream shop in the distance: "Let's go eat ice cream, it won't fill our stomachs up too much."

Warm Water: "But will that be enough to fill you up?"

"It's okay, girls have smaller appetites, they'll be full after eating just a little." Xiaolan continued to smile and grab Wenshui's arm. "By the way, doesn't Wenshui love ice cream? In that case, why don't you show us the feat of eating ten ice creams in a row later!"

Wen Shui's face turned pale.

You know it's a feat to eat ten ice creams in a row, even though you argued back with righteous indignation when I tried to persuade you last time.

Sonoko Suzuki grabbed Wen Shui's other arm and, together with Ran, helped Wen Shui walk toward the ice cream shop: "I think ten is too cheap for this kid, at least twenty."

Wen Shui let out a bloodcurdling scream: "No! I really can't eat that much ice cream!!!"

Chapter 275 The Aftermath of the Battlefield, and My Date with Xiaolan at the Arcade

That day, Wen Shui ended up eating ten ice cream cones in a row, but luckily he was strong enough that he didn't get diarrhea.

The ice cream shop owner even created a ranking list and posted it on the wall.

They even organized a "continuous ice cream eating challenge," and it's said that more than 100 people signed up that very afternoon.

This left Wen Shui speechless.

He figured the owner probably wanted to use his popularity to attract more customers, since a lot of Teitan students had gathered around when he ate his ice cream cone in front of everyone.

This move will likely attract many fans of the famous detective Nukusui, boys who like the captain of the karate club, and opportunists who have ill intentions about his status as the son-in-law of the Suzuki Group.

Putting aside the fact that the ice cream shop was doing brisk business, Wen Shui did not gain the girls' trust just because he completed the ice cream challenge.

Ran's attitude changed significantly after receiving Miwako Sato's challenge. Before, she would ignore girls in the classroom who were peeking at her.

After this meeting, Xiaolan began to subtly put her arm around Wenshui's in front of him, as if to assert her ownership.

Of course, this wasn't Wen Shui's biggest headache. Xiao Lan was gentle and relatively easy to coax.

What gave Nukusui the biggest headache was Sonoko. Sonoko seemed to have sensed something, and upon closer inspection, it made sense. After seeing the cream on Officer Sato's leg, Ran mistakenly thought it was Nukusui's offspring and even covered Sonoko's eyes.

Wen Shui was surprised that Sonoko, who was usually oblivious, had such a sharp intuition this time.

She immediately realized that Xiaolan shouldn't have acted in a way that was inconsistent with her own character after seeing the offspring of Wenshui.

The only explanation is

Xiaolan had already seen and even become familiar with that kind of creature.

After making her deduction, Detective Queen Sonoko began to probe in her own way.

That afternoon, accompanied by the energetic voice of the PE teacher, a grueling PE class conducted under the scorching sun finally came to an end.

Wen Shui was called by the PE teacher to help move sports equipment. He had just put a hurdle into the warehouse and was about to walk back to get something else when he "coincidentally" ran into Suzuki Sonoko, who was leaning against the outdoor water tap.

Sonoko Suzuki seemed preoccupied. After turning on the tap, she simply kept her hands under the water to rinse them without moving.

If it weren't for her sweat-drenched hair and the fine beads of sweat on her shoulders glistening in the sunlight, exuding a living presence, she would really look like a statue standing there at first glance.

Wen Shui initially wanted to pretend she hadn't seen it, but then she remembered that Sonoko usually went directly to change clothes with Ran, so there must be something wrong with her being stuck here today.

He glanced at Asaya-kun, who was helping him move sports equipment, and shook his head.

The chances of confessing to Asaya-kun seem extremely slim, so there's only one explanation left: Sonoko went to great lengths to stage this chance encounter, with the goal of intercepting Nukumizu, who was carrying sports equipment.

Wen Shui turned to Asaya and said, "Can you carry the rest yourself? Please, I'll treat you to ramen for lunch."

Asaya pushed up her round glasses, a sly glint in her eyes behind the lenses: "I eat lunch with a bento box, but I heard the bookstore owner at the corner store seems to have gotten some new comic books..."

"Okay, I'll buy it for you." Wen Shui patted Qian Gu on the shoulder.

Asaya's eyes lit up, and she continued to tempt her: "How about I keep an eye on Mouri-san for you? All I need is one more manga book~"

"No need for that." Wen Shui shook her head. "Xiao Lan went to the karate club and probably won't be back for a while. But seeing how hard you're working, I'll just buy you two comic books. What kind do you like?"

I'd been to that bookstore before. The owner sources his comics through special channels, making them much cheaper than in regular bookstores, which is why they're so popular with the boys at Teitan University.

Asaya suddenly became a little shy, lowered her head and said, "Married women, I... I like married women the most!"

Wen Shui thought to herself, "You have good taste, kid. The married women in comics these days all have hot and sexy figures. At first glance, she looks a lot like Yukiko Kudo."

Therefore, Wen Shui felt that the reason he had gradually developed feelings for Mrs. Kudo was related to the comic books that the vice president of the Literature Club had lent him.
