Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Heiji Hattori adjusted his baseball cap and chuckled, "Really? Well, I happen to have some good news. There's a rather strange case happening in Beika Town. How about we settle this?"

"I'm not afraid of you at all." Conan's face also showed an excited expression. "By the way, let's call Wen Shui too. I've been preparing for a long time to get revenge."

"Of course we can't leave that out, and there's also that Junior Detective Club. I'm here this time to take down all the detectives in Tokyo."

Heiji Hattori turned his baseball cap around to the back, revealing a confident smile.

Conan, recalling how unreliable Genta and his friends were, couldn't help but say, "Those kids are no good, they just seem like they'll drag me down."

After confirming that Wenshui had only been called away by Mrs. Kudo to discuss her academic performance and future plans, the two turned and went back.

Wen Shui, whose back was to the door, couldn't see what was happening there: "Hey, are you done yet? Haven't those two guys left yet?"

Yukiko Kudo glanced in the direction of the door: "They've probably left. Oh well, even if they haven't left, it's still the same. They've probably already gotten away with it."

Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief: "This is really torturous. Chatting with you from this identity and with this mindset, this is the first time I've felt inexplicable pressure from you."

"Hmph, then I'll talk to you like this next time, so we don't end up arguing every time." Yukiko's lips curled into a charming smile.

Warm Water: "Is it the kind where you wear a JK uniform? If so, I like black over-the-knee socks..."

"Dream on!" Yukiko pinched Onami's ear, interrupting his wish. "What on earth are you thinking? No wonder your grades have dropped so badly."

"Why are you so concerned about my grades?" Wen Shui exclaimed in anguish.

"I'm your boss and elder, so what's wrong with me caring about my subordinate's life plans?" Yukiko released her grip, put her hands on her hips, and adopted a superior posture.

Wen Shui looked up at the star-studded night sky and said wistfully, "Life plans... seem so hard to achieve!"

Yukiko's pretty brows furrowed slightly, then she patted Wenshui's shoulder generously: "Don't be so negative. You're still young. Even if your goal is difficult, don't be discouraged. Just keep working hard!"

Wen Shui looked at her gratefully: "Thank you, I will try my best."

"Hmm, that's the normal way to communicate." Yukiko Kudo was quite satisfied, and then casually asked, "What's your goal? If it's related to the entertainment industry, maybe I can help you."

"No need, it's only meaningful if I do it myself," Wen Shui said seriously.

"Don't be so stubborn, kid. In this day and age, it's too difficult for someone to climb to a high position without connections, especially in the entertainment industry." Yukiko couldn't bear to see Nukumi run into walls everywhere after graduation and end up living a life of drinking like Mori.

Wen Shui: "No, it's only meaningful if I do it myself."

Yukiko hesitated, but ultimately didn't offer any advice. It's true that for someone to grow into a reliable man, they need to endure some hardships alone. Oh well, she'll step in and bail him out when Wen Shui really can't take it anymore.

When the two returned to Cool Dragon Fitness Equipment R&D Company, Boss Mei Gu had not yet come out.

Mr. Nakano came out of his office and was adjusting the massage intensity for Kazuha Toyama, who was lying in a massage chair.

Ran asked with concern, "Kazuha, are you feeling alright?"

"Wow, this massage chair is amazing!" Kazuha Toyama exclaimed with a happy expression. "When we get back, I'm going to ask my dad to buy me one, no, I'll buy two, one for his office."

Hattori Heiji: "This thing must be expensive. Uncle Toyama's salary is going to be stretched thin again."

"Then let's just buy one." Toyama Kazuha pouted and continued to enjoy the comfort of the massage chair.

At this moment, Mr. Nakano glanced at his watch: "Strange, why hasn't the president come out yet? It's been almost an hour."

"He's probably busy with something," Uncle Mori said casually.

Conan: "When I went to the restroom just now, I heard the president arguing with that older brother who wears glasses."

"Arguing?" Nakano was taken aback.

Conan nodded: "Yeah, it seems like they're talking about terminating the contract."

"Could it be that the president is trying to use intimidation to force Hiramatsu to sign the contract again?" Nakano looked somewhat worried.

Mr. Nakano then told everyone that the reason they joined the company was because they were coerced by President Umeya into signing long-term contracts. President Umeya had a bad temper and had practiced Taekwondo, so he was quite intimidating when he got angry.

Uncle Mori: "Let's go check it out, just in case something really happened."

Mr. Nakano nodded and led everyone toward the president's office.

Then everyone discovered that the door to the president's office was not closed, and President Umeya was sitting in the massage chair in the room that looked like a Transformer suit of armor, with a dagger stuck in his chest.

"President! President, what's wrong with you..." Just as Nakano was about to rush over, Hattori Heiji grabbed him.

"Don't disturb the scene, Kazuha, call the police immediately," Hattori Heiji said.

As Kazuha Toyama picked up her phone, she saw Ran standing next to her already talking to someone from the Metropolitan Police Department: "Hello, I'm currently at Cool Dragon Fitness Equipment R&D Company..."

Kazuha Toyama held the phone, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Wen Shui walked over and patted Hattori Heiji on the shoulder, saying smugly, "How about that? My Ran called the police pretty fast, didn't she?"

Hattori Heiji sighed, "What's there to be proud of? Your thought process is really different from most people."

Wen Shui smiled but didn't say anything.

Several detectives then entered the crime scene. Just as they were about to investigate, they saw Masaki Hiramatsu hurriedly driving away through the window.

This basically confirms that Masaki Hiramatsu is the murderer.

Conan rushed downstairs, but when he arrived at the parking lot, he found that all the car tires had been punctured and were unusable.

With no other option, everyone had to return to the crime scene and patiently wait for the police to arrive. In any case, it was now almost certain that the suspect was Masaki Hiramatsu, so they could just issue an arrest warrant for him.

Heiji Hattori and Conan were both disappointed. They had thought they could show off their skills in this case, but the culprit escaped right in front of them.

Due to the dense fog, even detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department had to arrive much slower than usual.

Kogoro Mouri and the others performed first aid on the still unconscious President Umeya. Nukumi knew that all of this was orchestrated by President Umeya himself, so she had no interest in going over to join in the charade.

He went to the room where the massage chair had been placed and found Yukiko Kudo lying on the massage chair designed by Mr. Nakano, enjoying a gentle massage.

Wen Shui walked over and said, "You seem to be enjoying your leisure time."

Yukiko Kudo closed her eyes and said, "It's bad luck. I never expected to encounter another murder case. I should have known better than to come."

Wen Shui smiled and said, "President Mei Gu is not dead. Don't worry, it will be over soon."

As Wen Shui spoke, she pressed the pause switch on the massage chair, then placed her hands on Kudo Yukiko's soft, smooth shoulders and gently kneaded them.

Yukiko Kudo opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "What's gotten into you today? Are you up to something again?"

"I'm out of pocket money," Wen Shui said with a smile.

Yukiko chuckled, her alluring demeanor momentarily stunning Wen Shui: "Then I'll give you an advance on my salary later, so the child won't go hungry."

Wen Shui: "Thank you, Mom."

Yukiko rolled her eyes, but this time, Wenshui massaged her shoulders very properly and did not overstep any boundaries. Yukiko gradually relaxed and enjoyed Wenshui's massage.

However, this hard-won peace lasted only a short time.

Although Yukiko Kudo decided not to interfere with Wenshui's life, she is a very curious person and has been thinking about what that dream that made Wenshui look so melancholy and vulnerable was.

"By the way, what exactly is the dream you mentioned earlier?" Yukiko blinked.

"Of course, I want to dress you in a pure white wedding gown, Miss Kudo."

Wen Shui still wore that nonchalant smile, but the sincerity in his eyes made Kudo Yukiko's heart skip a beat.

Chapter 290 Grabbing Mrs. Kudo from behind will lead to a chaotic scene.

Yukiko Kudo was stunned for a full half minute. During that half minute, Onami gently massaged her shoulders while looking down at her with deep affection.

After a long while, Yukiko Kudo suddenly came to her senses and tried to jump off the massage chair: "What nonsense are you talking about, you brat? There's no way there's between us!"

Today she wore her hair in the same bun as Eri Kisaki, and her rosy cheeks were fully exposed to the fluorescent lights. Her youthful skin made one want to try and see how smooth it was.

So Wen Shui boldly tried it out, gently pinching Kudo Yukiko's cheek: "That's why I said this is difficult, but it's okay, I will try my best. After all, you were cheering me on outside just now and said you would help me. I can't let you down."

"Wait a minute, I didn't know you were talking about this!"

Yukiko Kudo first slapped Wen Shui's hand away, then glanced guiltily at the other room. After confirming that everyone was focused on figuring out how to wake up President Umeya and hadn't noticed them, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Wen Shui pressed on: "So now, knowing my life goals, what will your choice be?"

"Absolutely forbidden!" Yukiko Kudo crossed her arms in front of her. "I'm going to correct your twisted mentality and put you back on the right path."

"Is that so?" Wen Shui smiled knowingly. "The blush on your face doesn't quite match that."

Yukiko Kudo covered her face with her hands, glaring at Wen Shui with shame and anger. She had countless ways to scold Wen Shui in her mind, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Because people can't go against their own hearts, when Wen Shui suggested that she wear a wedding dress, even though Kudo Yukiko was unwilling, she had to admit that her heart was deeply touched at that moment.

But isn't that wrong?

Even though Yusaku Kudo often goes out for social events and sometimes comes back with other women's lipstick marks, and even though she has thought countless times about separating from Eri and living the life she wants.

But whenever she thought of Conan, the thought was suppressed.

Looking at the broad, reassuring shoulders of the woman, Yukiko Kudo felt a slight unease in her heart, but it quickly closed again.

No, how could you do such a thing? How am I going to explain this to Conan?

Yukiko Kudo's mind was in turmoil, but she still managed a weak laugh: "Don't dream, kid. Although I've retired from the entertainment industry, I was once a very popular idol. I've seen plenty of greenhorns like you."

I advise you to focus your attention on girls around your age, and stop wasting your youth on me.

Wen Shui thought to herself, "You weren't like this in the fitting room before. Do you think you can just eat and leave without a care?"

However, Wen Shui didn't press Mrs. Kudo any further, lest she become too stressed and end up having to fly back abroad, which would be difficult.

Just then, Ran's exclamation came from the next room: "Warm water, President Umeya has woken up!"

Wen Shui: "We'll talk about that later. I'm going to check on the body first."

With that, he walked towards the president's office without looking back.

Yukiko Kudo watched Wen Shui's departing figure, biting her lip lightly, lost in thought.

.

After waking up, President Umeya looked around in a daze. Upon seeing Kogoro Mouri, he recounted in a panic how Masaki Hiramatsu had stabbed him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wen Shui walked to the table next to her and picked up the metal cigarette case on it.

There was a deep indentation on the cigarette pack. It was because President Umeya habitually kept this cigarette pack in the breast pocket of his suit that he was able to stop Masaki Hiramatsu from stabbing him in the heart and survive the attack.

However, his shoulder was still cut by the dagger. Since there was no first aid kit or anything like that available, he had to wrap it with a towel and wait for the police to arrive.

Hattori Heiji walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Judging from your expression, you haven't noticed anything amiss, have you?"

Since everyone witnessed Masaki Hiramatsu fleeing in his car, and President Umeya is not in any danger, we can find out the truth by finding him and asking him questions.
