Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui said in a serious tone, "Didn't you say before that I stole Hua Lian-chan's indoor shoes? But I didn't even know her at the time."

"That wasn't me saying it, it was everyone..." Xiaolan paused for a moment, recalling the rumors about Wen Shui that circulated at school when she had just become friends with Wen Shui six months ago.

"Did you really not do anything?" Xiaolan looked at Wenshui suspiciously.

Wen Shui shrugged: "Of course, I didn't do anything."

"It was all Officer Sato's doing. I was completely passive throughout," Wen Shui added in her mind.

Xiaolan released Wenshui's arm, just about to let him off the hook, when she seemed to suddenly remember something: "Wait a minute, you just said that you didn't know Hualian-chan at all back then, which means you're very familiar with her now?"

"We're not that close, we just moved some sports equipment together a while ago," Wen Shui said.

"You moved it together? You didn't try anything with Karen-chan in the sports equipment warehouse, did you?" Ran entered interrogation mode again, pouring warm water onto Sato Miwako's desk.

The incident happened suddenly; Wenshui accidentally bumped into the photo that Miwako had placed on the table.

Detectives typically display personal items with sentimental value in their offices, such as photos of family and children, souvenirs from past cases, or thank-you notes from victims.

Because the profession of criminal investigator often involves encountering horrific crime scenes or cases that leave one feeling powerless.

Moreover, due to working overtime on cases, it is common for them to be unable to go home for several days at a time.

At times like these, personal belongings in the office area become a way to relieve psychological stress. Looking at the items on their desks, the detectives find the motivation to persevere.

On Sato Miwako's desk is a selfie taken when she first joined the company, in her uniform.

Miwako looked younger back then than she does now. Although she also had a neat short haircut, her smile was noticeably more youthful.

Xiao Lan was also very strong. She pressed Wen Shui down and kept asking her questions until Wen Shui's face was pressed against Sato Miwako's photo.

A strange feeling suddenly welled up in Wen Shui's heart.

He suddenly remembered that yesterday, Ryoko Morozuka was pressed down on the desk. Was it probably in a similar angle and state?

That doesn't make sense. He's a boy; he should be the one pushing from behind.

Thinking of this, Wen Shui used all his strength to push Xiao Lan, who was happily playing with him, onto the desk.

Xiao Lan was startled, her voice trembling slightly: "W-what do you want to do?"

"Nothing much, I've been bullied by you for so long, I want to try what it feels like to bully someone else." Wen Shui grinned mischievously and patted Xiao Lan's pert peach-shaped buttocks without any attempt to hide it.

Xiaolan felt a tingling sensation travel up her spine and eventually into her brain.

"No, don't do this... um~"

Although Xiaolan said she didn't like it, her body betrayed her, and she couldn't help but let out alluring moans.

But almost instantly, Xiaolan switched back to her rational mind.

After all, this isn't a place for her and Wen Shui to mess around. Compared to the somewhat naive Kazuha-chan, every detective here has undergone systematic training.

If she and Wenshui were to secretly get intimate here, even if it were just a light kiss or something, Miwako, who was pouring tea, would definitely see through it.

There are so many criminal police officers outside. If the news gets out and her father and He Ye find out, Xiao Lan will probably have no choice but to run away from home.

Wait a minute.

How could Officer Sato not have considered the risks that I could have thought of?

Xiao Lan immediately used the "Mori Elimination Method" to clear Wen Shui and Sato Miwako of suspicion. It's possible that, just as Wen Shui said, those two detectives were gossiping.

After the weight was lifted from her heart, Xiaolan's chaotic thoughts were able to return to reality, and then she noticed the photo of Sato Miwako in uniform in front of her.

As someone who witnessed Ryoko Morozuka's infidelity with Wen Shui yesterday, Ran also thought about her current state, which seemed somewhat similar to what happened back then.

No, no, why in front of Officer Sato?!

Xiaolan struggled violently.

In fact, Wen Shui didn't press Xiao Lan down very hard. He knew that this was the Metropolitan Police Department and that Sato Miwako might come back at any time. He just wanted to use this method to dispel Xiao Lan's doubts and at least stop her from asking about the rumor.

But unexpectedly, Xiaolan seemed to have gotten into character as well, and she seemed very helpless when she struggled.

So, as if possessed, Wen Shui grabbed the cute horns on her head.

Xiaolan's body stiffened instantly. She felt her cheeks burning hot, and a hint of allure gradually appeared in her big eyes.

The feeling of being controlled is kind of comfortable...

After Wen Shui noticed that Xiao Lan was acting strangely, he immediately tried to let go. This was no joke; doing this kind of thing in the Metropolitan Police Department would cost more than a few lives.

Just then, Miwako Sato entered.

Sato Miwako's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air, her smile captivating: "What... are you doing with my photos?"

.

Ten minutes later, Wen Shui and Xiao Lan sat down in the office area outside, looking embarrassed.

The reason I didn't stay in Sato Miwako's office was because I didn't want to be reminded of the embarrassing incident from earlier.

Sato Miwako, with her legs crossed, stared at the two of them for a long time as if interrogating criminals, and finally sighed:

“Even if you’re going to get intimate, you should consider the occasion. This is the Metropolitan Police Department.” Miwako paused, her expression complicated. “And don’t involve my photo. That’s a photo from when I joined the company.”

"No, no," Ran quickly explained, "Officer Sato, it's not what you think..."

Xiao Lan looked at Wen Shui halfway through her sentence, implying that if she had caused a misunderstanding, it was her turn to explain.

Wen Shui coughed and said, "Indeed, Xiao Lan is right."

Then he stopped talking.

Xiao Lan angrily kicked the warm water under the table, and then, in an attempt to ease the embarrassment, she picked up the teacup to drink the tea, only to spray the tea all over the warm water's face because it was too hot.

While wiping her face with a tissue from the table, Wen Shui explained, "Actually, you've really misunderstood. Xiao Lan and I sometimes try to imitate the criminal psychology of criminals. This is called... right, it's called deductive reasoning."

Miwako Sato smiled and said, "The Sherlock Holmes one?"

“That’s right.” Wen Shui nodded. “They said it would allow us to get a closer look at the criminal’s psychological state at the time, which might lead to a breakthrough in the case.”

Miwako Sato: "So, what have you thought of?"

Xiao Lan blushed and lowered her head to drink her tea.

Wen Shui shook her head: "Not for now."

Sato Miwako rolled her eyes at him, her expression clearly showing that she didn't believe Wen Shui's nonsense, but she didn't call him out on it. Instead, she started talking about Sherlock Holmes' deductive reasoning method, which she had actually used in actual cases.

Not long after, Kogoro Mouri called Ran, and Conan's voice could be heard on the other end of the line.

It seems that Conan is getting a little uneasy after discovering that his childhood friend and Wen Shui have disappeared together.

Xiaolan explained a few things, but Uncle Maoli didn't seem to believe her, so she had to take the phone outside to avoid being overheard by the nearby detectives.

Wen Shui finished the tea in her cup in one gulp, then stood up and said, "We'll be going now, let's talk another day."

Sato Miwako adopted a businesslike expression: "Okay, call me if anything comes up."

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Wen Shui asked, somewhat puzzled.

Miwako blinked: "What did you say?"

Wen Shui leaned closer and whispered, "You took advantage of me in the office just now, we can't just let it go like that, can we?"

Miwako was furious: "You're acting innocent after getting the benefit. You were much more proactive than me just now."

"Anyway, this matter needs to be resolved." As Wen Shui spoke, she glanced at Sato Miwako's long, beautiful legs. She had been stopped halfway through the fight, and her anger hadn't been vented yet, leaving her feeling a bit upset.

Sato Miwako's face flushed slightly, clearly knowing what Wen Shui was implying: "It's been a while since I've raced. I'll find you in a few days, and we'll go for a few more laps tonight."

Wen Shui's eyes lit up. She thought to herself that since Xin had taken such a proactive approach this time, perhaps she could unlock some new knowledge.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Wen Shui tentatively took Sato Miwako's soft little hand and squeezed it gently twice.

Miwako merely snorted coldly, but did not resist.

Her coy and hesitant manner captivated Wen Shui, making her even more eager to meet her a few days later.

By this time, Xiaolan should have finished her phone call and was waving to Wenshui from the office entrance.

Wen Shui: "Then I'll be going now."

"Wait a minute," Miwako suddenly called out to Onami, "Should I take that with me? I saw you seemed to like it earlier."

"What?" Wen Shui was stunned for a moment.

Miwako: "My photo! Don't tell me you were really playing some kind of deductive reasoning game with Ran just now. I'm not that stupid."

Wen Shui scratched his head: "Isn't this progressing too fast?"

"Just kidding, you wish! Even if you really became my boyfriend, I wouldn't play those boring games with you." Sato Miwako's face showed her usual mischievous smile.

Wen Shui couldn't help but rub her forehead.

After Wen Shui walked to the door, Xiao Lan took his arm and asked, "What did Officer Sato talk to you about? Why did she look a little strange?"

"It's nothing, just told me to call her when I find a clue," Wen Shui changed the subject. "What did Uncle Mori say?"

"We're going to cut your head off," Xiaolan said.

Wen Shui clicked her tongue in surprise: "This uncle really has a bad temper. I'll make him some cooling soup tonight."

.

The two arrived at the conference room downstairs and saw Uncle Mori and Conan standing in the corridor outside the door with unfriendly expressions.

Upon seeing Wen Shui and the others approaching, Kogoro Mouri immediately rushed up and questioned them:

"Damn it, where did you two run off to?"

Conan, like a hunting dog, sniffed around Ran, seemingly searching for some peculiar floral scent.

Wen Shui shrugged and said, "I'm going to find Officer Sato. We investigated a few cases together before, so I'm going to see if there are any new developments."

"I was worried that warm water would cause trouble for everyone at the Metropolitan Police Department, so I went to find him. I even saw Inspector Megure on the way," Ran added.

Seeing Ran and Wen Shui's calm demeanor, Uncle Mori felt relieved.

This is the Metropolitan Police Department, where he used to work.

If my daughter and that bastard Wen Shui do something outrageous in a moment of impulse, and her old colleagues at the Metropolitan Police Department find out, it will be incredibly embarrassing.

Conan confirmed that Ran had no signs of being bullied by Wen Shui, and relieved, he focused his attention on the case.

Ran: "Where are Kazuha and the others?"
