Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

However, Wen Shui noticed that she was much calmer than at the beginning. The anger in her eyes gradually lessened, replaced by confusion, as if she had sorted out the logic a little.

After all, under normal circumstances, it's impossible for someone to do that kind of thing at a murder scene where a body has just been discovered, especially in front of the Metropolitan Police Department.

“We…” Wen Shui thought for a moment and explained, “We are reconstructing the crime scene, trying to simulate the psychological activities of the murderer when committing the crime.”

As he explained, he shielded Ai Haibara in front of him.

Then he pretended that he had been hit in the stomach, and bent over because he had no choice but to cover it up, as doing so might reduce the credibility of his explanation.

Ai Haibara nodded: "That's right, I was treated as a victim."

While tidying her disheveled clothes, she deliberately lifted the hem of her dress, trying to use it to cover the warm water.

This touched Wen Shui somewhat; she didn't report his crime to the police.

However, Wen Shui soon noticed that after Ai Haibara lifted her skirt, more of her fair and delicate thigh skin was revealed.

Her flawless white skin stood out in the night, not to mention that he had just felt its amazing elasticity through the thin fabric.

So this actually made things worse.

Wen Shui had to maintain the posture she had accidentally injured her back while simulating the fight with the murderer.

"Really?" Sato Miwako's attention seemed entirely focused on the case. "Have you made any new discoveries?"

At this moment, the detectives not far away, seeing that nothing was wrong, went back to their work. Only Xiaolan and Sonoko walked over.

Ai Haibara looked at Wen Shui, meaning, "You made up a lie, so you'd better figure out how to explain it."

Wen Shui hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hmm... not yet."

"I see." Miwako looked regretful, then glanced at her beloved car. "I was startled just now. I thought someone was trying to desecrate my car."

Seeing the relieved look on her face, Wen Shui suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, generally speaking, if someone sees me arguing with Haibara near the crime scene, they wouldn't immediately associate it with that kind of thing, right?" Wen Shui asked curiously.

Miwako Sato nodded: "Because the biker gangs in Shinjuku have been getting crazier lately. They're capable of doing things even more outrageous than this when it's late at night."

A helpless, bitter smile appeared on her face.

"So that's how it is."

Wen Shui nodded. He had already learned some information about this from Michi Mieko.

Miwako Sato gently stroked the roof of the red Mazda, as if she were petting a beloved pet, her eyes tender: "This car was left to me by my father. Sitting in it reminds me of the times when the three of us would go out for barbecue or shopping at the supermarket."

Ai Haibara's expression suddenly darkened.

She loosened her grip on her skirt, as if recalling some unpleasant memory.

Then she discovered that the bastard who had just been rude to her had his paws on her shoulder again.

Ai Haibara was about to get angry when she suddenly noticed that there was no evil in Wen Shui's eyes, but rather a lot of encouragement for her fellow sufferers.

She glanced at the warm water with a complicated expression.

That bastard is truly unpredictable. He can do such unforgivable things in public, yet he can also keenly perceive her subtle emotional changes and offer her appropriate comfort.

Being with this guy felt like her emotions were on a rollercoaster.

Although most of the time, Ai Haibara couldn't help but want to put him on the dissection table and cut him up, she did have to admit that she did get a novel experience from warm water that she had never felt before.

.

After confirming that her car was unharmed, Miwako Sato turned around and returned to the scene of the crime.

Ran and Sonoko Suzuki walked over with their hands behind their backs, looking at Nuku and Ai Haibara suspiciously: "What were you two doing just now?"

Wen Shui repeated the explanation she had given to the two of them again.

Sonoko Suzuki looked unhappy: "If it's about solving a case, why didn't you ask us to join in?"

Wen Shui shrugged: "How can we simulate the crime scene together? I'm fighting three people by myself?"

“You could call them one by one. Maybe you can find the key clues to solve the case from the reactions of different victims.” Sonoko Suzuki crossed her arms and looked displeased. “We’re a team, you know. Abandoning your teammates is not a good thing.”

Wen Shui conjured up an image in his mind of him pinning Ai Haibara down in the car, with Ran and Sonoko cheering him on from behind.

Hmm... something feels off.

"Next time, I'll cooperate with your investigation next time," Wen Shui said.

"Honestly, you promised to come out and investigate, but I didn't help at all." Sonoko Suzuki stomped her foot angrily.

Ten minutes later, just as the Metropolitan Police Department officers were about to leave the scene, a blue Peugeot 607 sports sedan slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

After the car door opened, the first person to step out was the burly Kamal.

His fierce appearance and muscular physique immediately caught the attention of the detectives who were packing up their equipment, and they went over to ask him what he wanted.

Immediately afterwards, Ms. Judy got out of the car and began to explain to the detective who had come to inquire.

Of course, she was using her identity as the editor of the "Supernatural Files" column.

Judy and Carmel could have arrived much earlier, but after leaving the restaurant, they discovered they were being followed.

After circling the other car a few times, the car that was following them suddenly turned around and drove away, which is why they arrived relatively late.

"Sorry, this place is sealed off. Outsiders are not allowed to enter." Detective Osawa, with his dark skin, explained upon learning that the other party was a staff member of the paranormal program.

Judy looked disappointed. "Can we take a few pictures at the entrance?"

Miwako Sato has already left; Detective Osawa is currently in charge of the scene.

Detective Osawa, not wanting to cause himself unnecessary trouble, shook his head: "This murder case is currently in the confidential stage, and you can't take pictures casually. Also, I've memorized your company's information. If any information about the case is leaked, it will be considered obstruction of official business and you will be prosecuted."

Carmel complained, "But why were those kids playing detective games allowed in?"

He pointed to a group of people, including Wenshui, who were talking to forensic officers from the Metropolitan Police Department not far away.

Detective Osawa sensed the hostility in the other party's tone and his attitude turned cold: "Those people were the first witnesses to the body, and that boy was also an assistant to our superior, helping to solve many cases."

In reality, Wen Shui only helped the Metropolitan Police Department solve one case.

But at this moment, Detective Osawa disliked Cameron's attitude and deliberately showed that Wen Shui was not like you reporters.

"How is that possible! That kid is really a detective?" Camel's face showed an incredulous expression.

Detective Osawa ignored him and turned to leave.

Carmel looked again at the warm water and trees not far away, somewhat surprised.

Although he is tall and strong, and seems to be more skilled in combat, as an FBI elite, he also possesses a little-known talent in addition to his basic abilities.

That is, being able to sense the "smell" on other people.

The "scent" here doesn't refer to a keen sense of smell, but rather to an ability that Cameron developed during his investigations—the ability to keenly observe the unique scents of all sorts of people he encountered.

With this ability, Carmel escaped from extremely dangerous situations several times and helped the FBI identify several spies.

But when he was at the restaurant, he didn't sense any aura of an excellent detective from Wen Shui and Shu.

Has my ability malfunctioned?

If that's not the case, the only explanation is that the other party is a highly skilled agent far superior to him. Of course, considering Wen Shui's actual age, this explanation is even more unbelievable than Cameron's ability malfunctioning.

Agent Judy chuckled, "I knew that detective named Wen Shui wasn't as simple as I thought. Turns out he's a really cool and capable guy."

Although Judy's assessment at the time leaned more towards Agent Carmel's guess.

I think Wen Shui is just an ordinary person.

But it wouldn't hurt for her to show off her abilities in front of her temporary teammates at this time. At least it would make Camer more convinced of her judgment during the subsequent cooperative investigation.

"What do we do now? Should we use our connections in the bureau?" Carmel asked.

Agent Judy thought for a moment: "Let's go ask that kid first. It's best if we don't reveal our identities. The person who was following us earlier was very suspicious, and we don't know if any other countries' forces are also paying attention to this."

She paused, then added, "Besides, there's practically no difference between going to the Metropolitan Police Department earlier or later, is there?"

Carmel smiled and said, "Yes, at least this land holds no secrets for us."

The two walked towards the warm water.

.

To Wen Shui's surprise, Judy and Carmel also came, and they even came over to ask him if he had discovered anything interesting, saying the more bizarre the better.

Having been instructed not to disclose details of the case, Wen Shui gave the other party a few perfunctory replies and then said she would visit again another day.

Then Wenshui and the others got into a Metropolitan Police Department car and headed towards Beika Town.

Detective Osawa drove them there, saying he had a mission near Beika Town, but Numizu felt that Sato Miwako must have specifically told him this before she left.

The woman seemed like a workaholic who was completely absorbed in her case, but I didn't expect her to have such a meticulous side.

Police cars without flashing lights quietly drove through the bustling streets, while shop signs on both sides of the road flashed past in the field of vision like a carousel.

When we were almost at Beika Town, it suddenly started raining.

Fine raindrops quickly covered the car windows, and the fresh scent of damp earth seeped into the car through the gaps in the windows.

Looking through the car window, the rain-soaked road surface reflected a mirror-like light, forcing Officer Osawa to slow down.

"This is going to be difficult. Hopefully, there won't be any clues we missed earlier." Detective Osawa turned on the windshield wipers and couldn't help but sigh.

Wen Shui: "I think the uncle in the forensic class is quite serious, so he shouldn't miss any key clues."

Wen Shui knew that the other person was worried that the rain would ruin the crime scene—no, it should be said that it would definitely ruin it.

At least in the field of criminal investigation, human technology is powerless against the forces of nature.

In such an open-air crime scene, after a heavy rain, insects and microorganisms will visit again, covering up all fingerprints and footprints.

Wen Shui has been reading a lot of detective books lately, so she knows what Detective Osawa is worried about.

Detective Osawa looked at him in surprise: "You know quite a lot. Are you planning to join the Metropolitan Police Department or open a detective agency in the future?"

Wen Shui smiled and said, "I haven't decided yet. I might make my debut by writing a novel."

"Huh? Is it that amazing...?"

As Detective Osawa drove, he chatted with Wen Shui, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Then, while chatting, Wenshui inadvertently noticed that Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting behind him, looked a little sullen.

Could it be that during this investigation, he, Ran, and Ai Haibara all contributed to solving the case?
