Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

.

After something like this happened, everyone naturally lost their appetite for dining at the restaurant.

Afterwards, the group split into pairs and thoroughly checked that all the doors and windows of the villa were closed before preparing to go back to their rooms to rest.

Because it was Chikako Ikeda who died, Ayako Suzuki, Hiroki Kakutani, and the others were visibly depressed and all chose to go back to their rooms to be alone for a while.

Ran and Sonoko share a room.

Ai Haibara declined Ran and Sonoko's invitation, citing her discomfort with sleeping with others.

Wen Shui didn't want to sleep with Amuro Tooru, a popular character in BL (Boys' Love) comics, fearing it might trigger some serious plot twists, so she chose to sleep alone.

In the end, Conan was isolated.

Sonoko Suzuki was worried that Conan's mischievousness would cause trouble, so she asked the chef she had hired to take care of the kid, promising to give him an extra commission.

So, Conan and Amuro Tooru, each with their own ulterior motives, planned to sneak out and investigate after everyone fell asleep.

They sat on the bed in their pajamas, staring at each other.

"Little brother, aren't you sleepy?" Amuro Tooru said with a smile.

Conan: "Hey, Amuro-nii, your backpack is so bulging, is it filled with kitchen utensils?"

Conan, feigning curiosity like a child, reached for the black travel bag by the door.

Conan's keen detective intuition told him that Amuro Tooru seemed to be hiding some secret, and didn't quite seem like a young chef.

He might be the bandaged monster who killed Chikako Ikeda.

The backpack might contain the props he used to impersonate the bandaged monster.

Amuro Tooru grabbed Conan by the back of the neck: "No way! That's a valuable custom-made ceramic piece, specially made for stewing cod. It'll be a problem if you break it."

"By the way, Amuro-nii, there don't seem to be any oil splatter marks on your arms. The chefs I see on TV all have very obvious burns on their arms. Do you have some special secret recipe?"

Conan looked at Amuro Tooru's chocolate-colored arm skin and asked curiously.

Amuro Tooru: "Because I'm a grilled fish chef, I don't need to deal with too much fried food."

Both sides put on a show of acting, and in the end, Amuro Tooru finally managed to coax Conan to sleep.

He had just come out of his room to investigate the truth behind Chikako Ikeda's murder when he noticed that the bespectacled kid had also quietly followed him.

"Little brother, where are you going?" Amuro Tooru appeared behind Conan with a smile.

Conan was startled: "I-I need to find Ran-neechan!"

Amuro Tooru exposed his lie: "Ms. Mori's room isn't here, is it?"

After some persuasion, Amuro Tooru reluctantly agreed to help this kid who loves playing detective games investigate the truth behind the bandaged monster.

After all, the most important thing right now is to find the murderer as soon as possible.

Besides protecting Sherry's safety, Amuro Tooru's audacity to impersonate the bandaged monster and kill people right in front of him is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

However, Amuro Tooru was somewhat disappointed by the boy named Wen Shui and Shu.

After the murder, aside from being a little calmer than the others, Wen Shui and Shu did not seem to exhibit the qualities of an excellent detective.

Perhaps the assessment of the warm water and the tree can be put aside for now.

Being a spy for the Black Organization is no easy task; besides exceptional abilities, unwavering will and conviction are also essential.

Conan was also very happy.

Being able to stay with Amuro Tooru would at least ensure that he couldn't attack Ran again, and it would also make it easier to investigate his secrets.

If the other party truly wants to investigate the truth of the case...

This chef named Amuro Tooru seems to be much smarter than Uncle Mori.

"Perhaps without a tranquilizer gun, just a slight hint might be enough to make him realize the killer's methods," Conan thought.

.

After returning to her room, Ai Haibara did not fall asleep immediately.

After all, a murder had occurred, and even she would inevitably be affected to some extent.

Ai Haibara stood in front of the mirror and took off her sports jacket and top. Under the light, her fair and delicate back had a semi-transparent texture.

She removed the last piece of clothing that bound her and casually tossed it onto the bed where the computer was placed.

Then he checked his injuries again.

The spot where the door hit me is much better than before; at least it doesn't hurt anymore. However, I can still feel a tingling, electric current when I poke it with my hand.

More importantly, Usagi-chan's nose still looked listless.

Damn lukewarm water and trees!

Ai Haibara muttered something to herself, then changed into her pajamas, crawled into bed, and took out her phone to look at the text messages she had exchanged with her sister, Akemi Miyano.

.

"Ah sneeze!"

Wen Shui suddenly sneezed, then went to the window and closed it.

The sound of rain was kept out, and the room became much quieter.

Knowing that the bandaged monster would most likely attack Xiaolan again, Wenshui naturally couldn't rest.

Since we've chosen a riskier research route, we naturally need to ensure the girls' lives aren't threatened.

He waited in the room for a while, until everyone was almost asleep, then quietly pushed open the door and went to the door of Ran and Sonoko's room, patiently waiting for the sound of breaking glass.

Unexpectedly, Ran and Sonoko were still awake.

Wen Shui could vaguely hear the two whispering through the door.

Xiaolan hesitated, "Isn't this a bit disrespectful? Chika-nee was just killed."

Sonoko Suzuki advised, "There's nothing we can do about it. You can't fight human desires with willpower. Besides, the villa is surrounded by dangers, so this is a way to release stress."

How to release stress?

Warm water is a direct indicator of this factor.

Immediately afterwards, a satisfied moan came from the room: "Mmm, so soft, this little bean..."

"Keep your voice down, Sonoko, I'll be so embarrassed if someone hears me," Ran quickly advised, though her voice sounded muffled, as if she had something in her mouth.

"What does it matter, Xiaolan? Let me try yours too..."

The warm water at the entrance froze on the spot.

What's going on with these two?

Although he had suggested that Sonoko and Ran share a room, his intention was to have the easygoing Sonoko help alleviate Ran's fear.

But isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to help like this?

You still have me as a companion... No, you're showing far too little respect for the Bandaged Monster's meticulously planned murder scheme!

Wen Shui couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Just as he was hesitating about leaving for a while, Sonoko Suzuki, who was inside the house, suddenly said, "This tuna sushi tastes many times better than the ones I've had at banquets. The roe inside is really bouncy."

"I think it's just so-so, maybe it's because you're hungry," Xiaolan said indistinctly. "But this octopus is really good, Yuanzi, you should try it."

Warm water: "..."

Oh, so you were sneaking a late-night snack.

It's just a late-night snack, is it really necessary to make it sound so suggestive?

Honestly, Bai Xing... uh, Bai is worried about them.

Listening to the two people inside the room enjoying their meal through the door, Wen Shui's stomach started growling, because he hadn't eaten much either.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the two quickly fell asleep after finishing their late-night snack.

At the moment the clock struck midnight.

The bandaged monster smashed open the window of Ran and Sonoko Suzuki's room right on time, standing on the windowsill with an axe in hand.

Xiao Lan's extremely piercing scream came from the room.

Amuro Tooru and Conan, who were investigating clues near the entrance on the first floor, rushed over upon hearing the noise.

But warm water is obviously faster.

Wen Shui suddenly pushed open the door. The layout of this room was the same as the other rooms: two single beds were placed side by side, with a small bedside table in the middle.

The room was dark, but with the faint light coming in from the window, Wen Shui saw that Xiao Lan, who was sleeping near the window, had jumped off the bed and was vigorously shaking Suzuki Sonoko on the other bed.

Sonoko Suzuki was still half asleep and hadn't opened her eyes yet.

The bandaged figure stood on the windowsill, holding an axe. Broken glass lay on the floor and bedside, reflecting a dazzling, diamond-like light.

"Xiao Lan, step back, I'll handle him!"

With a sharp shout, Wen Shui charged towards the bandaged monster.

The wind, carrying rain, poured into the room through the broken window, ruffling Wen Shui's bangs, highlighting his resolute and unwavering demeanor.

It was deeply etched into Xiaolan's heart.

Unfortunately, this incredibly cool hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress moment was inadvertently ruined by Sonoko Suzuki.

In order to get close to the bandaged monster as quickly as possible, Wen Shui chose to step on the bed and run towards the window.

Because Sonoko Suzuki was a terrible sleeper and her blanket was misplaced, and the room was dark, the person who ran the warm water over stepped on her.

Dazed and confused, Sonoko Suzuki rolled her eyes, let out a scream, and folded her body into a "<" shape.

Even warm water can cause the body to lose balance due to an incorrect sensation under the feet.

He slammed the hammer into Xiaolan's cushioning pad, pinning her against the wall and onto the floor.

The entire room immediately descended into chaos.

Standing at the window, disguised as the bandaged weirdo, Ryoichi Takahashi watched Onami entangled with the girls, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Why does that brat named Wen Shui always manage to ruin the mood?!
