Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

However, that suspicious brown short hair made Wen Shui a little worried that there might be drugs in the hangover soup.

Wen Shui arrived at the bridge and, upon closer inspection, noticed that the girl in front of him was wearing light makeup.

Moreover, it's the kind of natural makeup that you can't tell unless you look closely, but you can definitely feel that she's trying to attract men's attention.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by.

The scents of cosmetics and perfumes wafted everywhere.

The girl's skirt swayed in the wind, and her bare white feet, clad in beige strappy sandals, appeared almost transparent in the sunlight.

The two exchanged a glance. Wen Shui silently brushed past the other person.

Then, a fair and slender hand grasped the back of Wen Shui's neck.

"Is this your way of a belated apology?" Ai Haibara asked, her expression displeased.

Wen Shui deliberately looked at her with a shocked expression: "Eh? You... are you actually Haibara-san? You look so much prettier than usual, I didn't even recognize you."

Ai Haibara said with a stern face, "Even using such tricks won't lessen your sins."

Wen Shui couldn't help but click her tongue: "Calling it a sin is too much. I was just a little late."

Ai Haibara suddenly looked at the river in the distance: "I've been standing here for almost an hour. In that hour, I helped ten couples take photos together. Two of the men even tried to secretly ask me for their contact information."

Wen Shui imagined a scene where Ai Haibara was forced to work in order to avoid arousing suspicion.

"Only two?" Wen Shui said indignantly. "The rest of the men really have no taste!"

Ai Haibara glanced at him expressionlessly.

Wen Shui scratched her head and smiled sheepishly: "Uh, your dress looks really good on you? Or... what would you like to eat for lunch? I'll treat you?"

Ai Haibara sighed, seemingly at a loss for what to do with him: "During the investigation later, you'll be in charge of the field interviews."

"Leave it to me," Wen Shui assured him, patting her chest.

The two walked down the pedestrian bridge, pretending to be a college student couple on a date, and strolled along the apartment buildings on the banks of the Kanda River.

As they walked, Wen Shui curiously observed Ai Haibara. Although Ai had worn casual clothes before, and her fashion sense was clearly a level above Ran's and the others.

But for some reason, Ai Haibara gave him a particularly different feeling today.

It's like going from 4K to 8K all at once.

"Why are you looking at me? Why don't you check around for any clues?"

Ai Haibara glared at Wen Shui with displeasure, but through the strands of hair by her ears, it was clear that her small and cute ears had turned light pink.

Wen Shui: "You seem a little different from usual today."

Ai Haibara glanced at the riverbank beside her, giving Wen Shui a side profile: "The matter of you being late is in the past, you don't need to flatter me anymore."

"I'm not flattering you, I'm serious," Wen Shui said earnestly. "Did you dress up a bit for special occasion?"

Ai Haibara said calmly, "After all, our disguise today is that of a college couple on a date. Even the most slovenly girl will dress up a little for a date."

Wen Shui looked the other person up and down, thinking to herself, "Is this just a casual outfit?"

Ai Haibara seemed to read his mind, gently brushing a stray hair behind her ear: "Oh my, I didn't expect that a quick makeover while I was baking bread this morning would be enough to make Luminous Water succumb?"

Wen Shui took a step back: "You seem so unfamiliar to me. Please give me back that cold-blooded witch."

Ai Haibara immediately put on a cold, disgusted expression.

They startled a fat college student who happened to be passing by, causing him to drop his hamburger. Wen Shui vaguely heard the fat guy whisper "Mom."

The two then strolled along the street, flirting and teasing each other. Since it was a day off, they occasionally saw stylishly dressed college students on the street, and of course, they also spotted a few suspicious-looking individuals.

Wen Shui remembered that there were quite a few burglars breaking into houses around here.

As they walked, Wen Shui suddenly noticed a large ice cream machine in front of a convenience store on the street: "If Xiao Lan were here, she would definitely use the excuse of replenishing her energy to buy a few ice creams to eat while walking."

Wen Shui said in a joking tone.

Unexpectedly, Ai Haibara not only didn't respond, but seemed rather unhappy: "Warm Water, didn't anyone tell you not to mention another woman's name when you're shopping with other girls?"

"Huh, so is this a date?" Wen Shui asked in surprise.

"Of course not!" Ai Haibara gave him a displeased look, then strode forward.

The heels of the high-heeled sandals tapped on the ground, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Wen Shui watched her retreating figure, feeling speechless. How come Sherry has become like Sonoko Suzuki lately, always getting angry for no reason?

Is this season the volcanic eruption period for women with short brown hair?

.

After wandering around the apartment near the Kanda River for about an hour, the two still couldn't find any useful clues.

So Wenshui and Ai Haibara decided to venture deeper into the residential area.

After winding along the narrow path, a cluster of buildings resembling tenement buildings came into view.

The apartments here are better than the cheap rental apartments we just saw; they have more space, so the rent is naturally higher.

It's usually college student couples, or college students with high requirements for their living environment who choose to rent here.

A group of middle-aged and elderly women, who looked like neighborhood aunties, were chatting idly in an open space between the buildings, while children were riding bicycles nearby.

A young couple pushing a stroller brushed past Wen Shui and the others; the young wife was carrying a thick law book in her hand.

“That lady is so young,” Ai Haibara said softly.

Wen Shui nodded: "They must be a college student couple who rented a house nearby."

The legal marriage age here is eighteen, which means that if Wen Shui and Haibara Ai are willing to marry and have children, they are now legal to do so.

Many couples here choose to attend university while raising their children.

Furthermore, the school will introduce various policies, such as leave of absence or delayed graduation, to ensure that students' studies are not affected.

"How did you know?" Ai Haibara's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Wen Shui: "She was holding an introductory book on law, and there were obvious signs of years of writing on her hands."

Ai Haibara praised, "As expected, as long as he gets involved with a woman, Nuku-kun's abilities increase several times over."

"It's okay if I don't say anything about this kind of praise," Wen Shui thought to herself.

The two had planned to try and glean some useful information from these middle-aged women in the town.

Before they could even begin their investigation, two uniformed patrol officers, accompanied by a middle-aged woman, stopped Wen Shui and her group.

One of the square-faced patrol officers asked with a serious expression, "What were you two doing sneaking around the apartment building just now?"

The middle-aged woman behind the patrol officer looked at the two men with the eyes of someone looking at thieves.

Ai Haibara gave Wen Shui a wink, meaning, "You're late today, so you'd better handle this problem."

Wen Shui couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

He could have directly identified himself as Sato Miwako's collaborator, which would have cleared up the misunderstanding immediately.

But that might alert them, because by then many older women and men would have gathered around, and the speed at which these women spread the news should not be underestimated.

This might affect their investigation.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Shui said, "Actually, we are a newlywed college couple who came here to look for a female student..."

The basic writing skills in Wen Shui's mind came into play.

In his vivid story, he, his wife, and the female student beside him were very good friends. However, due to an accident, the girl with short brown hair became pregnant unexpectedly.

The junior who had a crush on Wen Shui was devastated, and in order to let the two of them be together, she chose to temporarily suspend her studies.

Wen Shui and his wife came here today to see if they could explain things to their junior in person and invite her to their wedding.

After Wen Shui finished speaking, the aunties around him all looked at him and Ai Haibara with gossipy eyes.

Ai Haibara's shoulders trembled uncontrollably, her small hands clenched into fists, as if she was hesitating whether to take this bastard down with her.

On the contrary, the patrol officers seemed to think that people like Wen Shui and Haibara Ai, who are extremely good-looking and must be a popular couple at school, had no need to come here to steal things.

He gave the two a few words of advice and then left.

The woman who made the report has also disappeared without a trace.

Ai Haibara, holding Onami's arm, was preparing to find a secluded spot to teach him a lesson.

A middle-aged woman in a floral shirt blocked their way, smiling as she asked, "Are you looking for a tall girl with beautiful eyes who always wears a mask when she goes out?"

Wen Shui and Ai Haibara exchanged a glance.

In the photos taken by Hiroki Kakutani, Ume Matsuzaka does indeed have a great figure, and wearing a mask also fits her characteristic of concealing her identity.

Wen Shui took out a photo of Matsuzaka Mei, covered her face, and only showed her eyes so that the woman in the floral shirt could identify her.

After careful examination, the woman felt that it was at least seven or eight parts similar.

Wen Shui hurriedly asked, "Auntie, do you know where this girl lives?"

The woman in the floral shirt slowly pulled a flyer from her pocket and smiled, saying, "My daughter-in-law happens to work at a childcare center. Her company recently launched a comprehensive childcare package, and the price is very reasonable if you buy it now."

Wen Shui: "Auntie, our baby is still a long way off."

"Oh dear, my memory is getting worse as I get older. Where did that girl live again?" The auntie seemed to be saying, "I can't remember unless you help me."

Helpless, Wen Shui had no choice but to leave his and Ai Haibara's contact information.

We can only wait and figure out a way to explain to the childcare center later.

After getting information from a smiling woman in a floral shirt that seemed to be the address of Matsuzaka Ume, the two headed back towards the low-rent apartment building next to the Kanda River.

Ai Haibara crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Can't we just be ordinary couples? Why do we have to have a child, and then get involved in that melodramatic love triangle?"

Warm Water: "Seeing the stroller reminded me of it, and it gave me way too little time to react."

"You don't have any evil intentions towards me, do you?" Ai Haibara asked suspiciously.

Wen Shui curled her lip: "I have no interest in that. I won't be in a relationship, let alone have a child, until I've dealt with the Black Organization."

Ai Haibara nodded.

Then it suddenly dawned on her that her purpose in cooperating with Wen Shui was to break free from the Black Organization, so she asked, "What happens after we solve the organization's problems?"

Wen Shui: "The fact that you asked so proactively makes me worry that you might have some evil intentions towards me."
