Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Xiaolan jumped off the massage chair like a frightened animal, looking at it warily: "I don't know, wasn't this the mode just now? I feel like my bones are going to fall apart."

Wen Shui: "It seems that Mr. Mei Gu was right to give up on this machine."

Conan: "That Mr. Umeya is just after more money. I think Mr. Nakano's massage chair is quite well designed."

Afterwards, Wen Shui and the others rested in the lobby of the research and development room for about 20 minutes without anyone supervising them. Xiao Lan then received a call from Yuan Shan and Ye, saying that they had found the place where the car had broken down.

Ran told Kazuha how to get to the research institute, and then they all went to the parking lot outside to wait.

Not long after, a red sedan slowly drove into the parking lot. Kudo Yukiko and Toyama Kazuha got out of the car together. If you looked closely, you could see a dark-skinned young man wearing a baseball cap behind them.

Ran and Kazuha, like long-lost lovers, rushed over, took each other's hands, and jumped up on the spot.

Kazuha: "Great, Ran, when we saw there was no one in the car, we thought you had been eaten by a monster."

"I don't think there's such a thing." Xiaolan's expression changed slightly, and she forced a smile.

Conan also went over and greeted Heiji Hattori, but Nuwa couldn't hear what they talked about.

Seeing that both couples had their own goals, Wen Shui walked over and reached out to Mrs. Kudo, whose sexy figure was still evident despite her sportswear.

"Watch the occasion, you little rascal." Yukiko slapped away Onami's hand, not giving Onami a chance to get closer.

Wen Shui: "Why are you so fierce? I even came over to interact with you because I saw you being ignored."

"Don't give me that, do you think I don't know what you're up to?" Yukiko sneered. "Didn't I tell you last time that you can't do anything offensive to me? I'm your elder."

"You were the one who impersonated my mom first..." As usual, Wen Shui started arguing with Yukiko as soon as they met.

After their initial excitement, Kazuha and Ran gradually calmed down.

Kazuha Toyama looked at her childhood friend and sighed, "Conan and Heiji are really close. Despite their age difference, I often hear Heiji calling Conan."

"Huh? Is that so? Maybe it's because Conan is more mature. Sometimes I even think Conan is much more mature than my dad," Ran said with a smile.

Kazuha Toyama then turned her gaze to Nukumizu and Yukiko Kudo, saying with a complicated expression, "Speaking of which, this pair of friends over there, despite their age difference, seem to have a pretty good relationship."

Xiaolan's expression was somewhat helpless.

In fact, Ran was very happy because she had a good relationship with Shinichi's mother. Even if you ignore the relationship with Shinichi, the fact that the elder who often took care of her when she was young had a close relationship with the person she liked gave Ran a sense of happiness, like being recognized by her elders when she brought her boyfriend home.

However, Xiaolan recently had a sudden feeling.

Aren't these two getting a little too close?

Although Yukiko Kudo has always had this disrespectful personality since Ran was little, Yukiko even did something absurd like playing hide-and-seek with Shinichi and then calling Shinichi to say that Yusaku had passed away, which led to Conan being summoned.

But Xiaolan still felt that things were a little strange between Wenshui and Yukiko lately.

Xiaolan couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong with her.

Seeing that Ran hadn't spoken for a while, Kazuha nudged her and asked, "Ran-chan, what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Xiaolan came back to her senses. "I'm just happy to see that Wenshui and Ms. Yukiko get along so well. Wenshui's parents passed away a long time ago, so she probably confides in Ms. Yukiko."

Kazuha Toyama thought for a moment and said, "But I feel that Ms. Kudo is an unpredictable person. It would be very distressing to have a mother like that."

Ran couldn't help but laugh as she recalled how Shinichi Kudo had constantly come up with all sorts of creative ways to tease Yukiko Kudo since they were children.

"Although it might be a bit of a hassle, Ms. Yukiko is actually a very nice person. When I was little, she would play hide-and-seek with me and Shinichi, and she was more serious about it than the two of us."

Ran looked up at the starry night sky and recalled her childhood memories of playing with Yukiko Kudo.

Just as Kazuha was about to reply, his expression suddenly changed slightly: "That's true, but Ran, isn't stuffing a sock into someone's mouth a bit... excessive?"

Ran looked down and saw that it was exactly as Kazuha had said.

Wen Shui and Kudo Yukiko actually started tearing at each other. Wen Shui had already kicked off one of Yukiko's sneakers, and now she was pressing a crumpled sock onto Wen Shui's face.

Xiaolan: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Chapter 289 Dressing Mrs. Kudo in a Pure White Wedding Gown

Ran stood there dumbfounded, watching the sudden change in the interaction between Wenshui and Kudo Yukiko, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

Finally, Uncle Mori walked over and coughed, saying, "Hey Yukiko, why are you picking on a kid at your age?"

Her old classmate's words brought Mrs. Kudo back to her senses a little. Actually, she had originally planned to find a rope to tie Wen Shui to her neck after they got home, and then slowly torture him.

But the boy's words were so infuriating that Mrs. Kudo couldn't hold back and took action in front of everyone.

"It's all this kid's fault. I came all this way to pick you up, and this little rascal actually thinks I'm superfluous." Kudo Yukiko awkwardly held onto the car door, too embarrassed to reveal the real reason.

Wen Shui shrugged and didn't expose her. Instead, to make up for her slip of the tongue, she ran over and picked up Mrs. Kudo's shoes.

Yukiko Kudo rarely wears these kinds of running shoes, so Onami couldn't help but take a second look. The small and exquisite size seemed to be not much different from the ones Ayumi wore at first glance. The ultra-light cushioning foam made the shoe feel weightless in the hand, just like Yukiko Kudo's soft and delicate feet.

Perhaps because she had just been running, a faint, mesmerizing fragrance emanated from her shoes.

If you add the white cotton socks she's clutching in her hand, perhaps the flavor will have a few more layers of complexity?

Wen Shui recalled some knowledge points he had seen somewhere.

"You don't want to smell it, do you?" Xiao Lan appeared next to Wen Shui without him noticing, looking at him with an unfriendly expression.

Wen Shui said with a straight face, "How could that be? I already told you not to mistake me for a pervert who likes to steal girls' stockings."

"But you're always so fascinated by my legs," Xiaolan exposed Wenshui's lie.

Wen Shui said with deep affection, "That's because every part of Ran-chan's body is so charming, I can't resist the deep affection in my heart."

Xiaolan: "Don't say such cheesy things to me while holding another woman's shoes, you bastard!"

Wen Shui then realized that Xiao Lan wasn't really angry, so he turned around and ran over to return the shoes to Mrs. Kudo. Because there were too many people, Wen Shui didn't help her put them on, but simply handed them to her.

To Wen Shui's surprise, Kudo Yukiko wasn't wearing socks; she simply put on her shoes barefoot.

In other words, she was wearing a white cotton sock on one foot and was barefoot on the other.

Could this woman still be plotting to harm him? No, I'd better be careful later; I can't let her succeed so easily.

.

After the sudden fight subsided, Wenshui went over to greet Toyama Kazuha, who had come from afar: "Kazuha-chan, you seem to have lost even more weight than last time."

Kazuha Toyama smiled sheepishly: "No way, aren't you afraid Ran will get angry if you say that, Wen Shui-kun?"

"Aren't you her good friend? What's wrong with me praising you a few times?" Wen Shui said with a smile.

Ran didn't seem upset at this moment. Instead, she hugged Kazuha Toyama's arm and whispered, "Don't listen to that guy's nonsense. He was just smelled by Ms. Kudo's socks, and his brain is probably still malfunctioning."

Kazuha Toyama covered her mouth and chuckled, looking full of energy.

Wen Shui looked around and asked with a deliberately puzzled expression, "Strange, where did Hattori go? I just heard his voice."

Standing next to Conan, Hattori Heiji's face darkened: "You guys, can you stop using this trick every time? It's so boring! I just have slightly darker skin, and I even wore a brightly colored jacket today. Damn it!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Near the mountain parking lot shrouded in thick fog, there was surprisingly a harmonious atmosphere reminiscent of a school trip.

Later, at Kogoro Mouri's invitation, the group returned to Cool Dragon Health Equipment R&D Company. Uncle Mouri wanted his old classmate and the two kids from Osaka to experience the massage chair.

When Wen Shui and his group came out of Cool Dragon R&D Company, the conversation between Boss Mei Gu and Masaki Hiramatsu was still going on, and the other two researchers, under the pressure of being fired, had gone into their offices and had not come out.

The entire Cool Dragon sports equipment R&D company is now completely open to the public.

After meeting his old classmate Yukiko, Kogoro Mouri first chatted casually about catching up, and then invited them to try out a massage chair together.

Xiaolan: "Dad, is it really okay for us to make this decision without the owner's permission?"

"It's alright, President Umeya won't mind these details." Kogoro Mouri waved his hand and led the three who had come from afar toward the room where the massage chairs were placed.

Wenshui originally wanted Yukiko to try out the massage chair that Ran had just been sitting in.

When Ran was sitting on it and was shaken, Wen Shui still remembered Ran's cute reaction. He really wanted to know if Mrs. Kudo would be just as panicked as Ran if she were sitting on it.

However, before they even reached the room where the massage chairs were, Yukiko Kudo said she had forgotten her phone in the car and had to go back to get it.

Before leaving, he used the excuse that "it's too dark outside" to get Wen Shui to work as his bodyguard.

Once outside, Wen Shui spoke first: "You're not thinking of apologizing to me, are you?"

"Apologize? Why should I apologize?" Yukiko wasn't wearing makeup today, but her delicate eyelashes were still quite alluring in the night.

Wen Shui: "You just impersonated my mom, which seriously traumatized my young heart."

"Come on, when you ran into my arms calling me 'Mom,' I didn't see any signs of psychological trauma." Yukiko mercilessly exposed Wen Shui's lie.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "Then why did you call me out? You didn't really want me to be your bodyguard, did you?"

Yukiko suddenly smiled seductively and pressed her body against hers: "Didn't I just say on the phone that I was going to shove my shoe into your mouth, you little rascal?"

"No way, everyone laughed at us just now." Wen Shui said, but her eyes secretly glanced at Kudo Yukiko's slender ankles under her sports pants.

Her ankles are so white; they must feel so soft to the touch.

Yukiko Kudo's expression suddenly changed, and she said with a straight face, "Do you think I'm the kind of woman who's all looks and no brains?"

"Huh? What else?" Wen Shui asked, puzzled. Then he noticed that Mrs. Kudo's expression had become even more unpleasant, so he quickly explained, "Ah, that's not what I meant. I meant, why shouldn't I let you call me out?"

Yukiko Kudo: "The phone call just now has made that kid from Osaka suspicious. We need to put on a show to fool them."

Warm water blinks.

At this moment, Yukiko Kudo's expression suddenly switched to that of a kind elder, and she said earnestly, "Wenshui, I heard that your grades have slipped again recently. This can't go on..."

Wen Shui immediately realized that Heiji Hattori and Conan must have followed them.

Perhaps what Yukiko Kudo was most worried about wasn't Heiji Hattori, but rather that her troublesome son might misunderstand.

Wen Shui also immediately switched to the demeanor of a slightly rebellious kid, and put on a show with Kudo Yukiko, making Conan and Hattori Heiji, who were hiding at the door, run around in circles.

"I knew it! You were just overthinking it. My mom may seem unreliable, but she's actually a very caring person," Conan said, watching the two talking in the parking lot.

Actually, Conan didn't quite believe the play either, because Wen Shui's acting was rather poor.

Wen Shuiping was not like this when he was interacting with Yukiko Kudo.

But Conan can't very well say to his old rival, "Hattori from Kansai," that "look at me now that my body has shrunk, not only has my title as the number one detective at Teitan been stolen, but my childhood friend and my mom are also starting to drift away from me."

Conan had no choice but to bite the bullet and help explain.

Hattori Heiji scratched his head in confusion: "Strange, could I have seen wrong? That shouldn't be the case, my detective instincts should be very sharp."

Conan puffed out his chest: "Your sense of smell might only work in Osaka. This is Beika Town, my territory."
