Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui smiled and said, "It's been found. Thank you so much."

"It's so great that I can help you two," the woman in the floral shirt said with a smile.

Cracks gradually appeared in the ice cream cone in Xiaolan's hand.

Wen Shui had a vague, uneasy feeling.

Sure enough, the woman in the floral shirt said next, "Don't forget to answer the daycare center's call. Just say you were referred by my daughter-in-law, and you can get a 20% discount."

The cone in Xiaolan's hand had completely cracked open, and cream was slowly flowing out.

Wen Shui: "Auntie, actually you..."

At that moment, the auntie noticed the ice cream in Ai Haibara's hand and frowned, saying, "It's best not to eat cold things when you're pregnant, and this is full of artificial coloring, which is bad for the baby."

"Pregnant?!?" Xiaolan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

The ice cream cone in her hand also burst open completely.

Generally speaking, Ran would be stunned for a moment when she encountered such an extremely shocking situation, which is why she would only call the police after being woken up by Uncle Mori and Conan.

This time, however, she quickly got into battle mode.

Ran smiled and slowly approached Wen Shui: "Wen Shui-kun, could you please explain what rude thing you did to Ai just now?"

Wen Shui: "Xiao Lan, let me explain, it's not what you think..."

"Isn't that what I'm doing right now, listening to your explanation?" Xiaolan smiled and casually knocked a crack into the cement utility pole by the roadside.

Upon seeing this, the woman in the floral shirt couldn't help but open her mouth in an "O" shape.

Although Ai Haibara had already taken a step back, she still got splashed by the ice cream in Ran's hand.

Melted cream fell onto her fair instep and then flowed down between her toes. Ai Haibara subconsciously moved her toes a few times, and the cream went straight into the space between her sole and the bottom of her shoe.

It's sticky and disgusting, just like that lukewarm water thing.

Haibara sighed and took a bite out of the entire top of the ice cream cone in her hand.

Chapter 52 The Murder Case of the Disappearing Corpse in the Bathroom

Wen Shui and Shu noticed that the woman in the floral shirt was looking at them with a very complicated expression.

Her face seemed to say, "I never expected you to be involved in a love quadrangle."

Wen Shui glanced at Ai Haibara again and found that the girl was actually looking down and kicking stones with the tip of her shoe, pretending that it was none of her business.

Since that's the case, I have no choice but to take the risk and explain.

Wen Shui first cast a spell on Xiao Lan with a kind look, saying "Don't attack me for now," and then leaned close to her ear.

He quietly recounted the events, highlighting the key points.

Ran Mouri is, after all, the daughter of a detective, so she is more accepting of having to pretend to have a strange identity in order to obtain information.

In addition, the warm breath that Wen Shui blew into her ear when she spoke also made Xiao Lan feel a little irritated.

Her imposing aura immediately diminished considerably.

But the matter didn't end there, because there was another older woman nearby who needed to be fooled.

However, this was no challenge for Ran. She had read many romance novels and watched many dramas, and she had been stood up by Shinichi Kudo under the pretense of solving cases. She was able to grasp the psychological state of the female protagonist who discovered that her best friend was pregnant with her boyfriend's child.

Xiao Lan cried, "I really misjudged you!"

After saying that, she covered her face and left, disappearing after turning a corner at an intersection.

Because Wen Shui had a clear conscience, she ignored the curious glances from passersby.

Ai Haibara licked her ice cream with small bites, striking a victorious pose, and she even seemed to secretly touch her stomach.

After saying goodbye to the woman in the floral shirt, the two walked in the direction Xiao Lan had left for less than 5 minutes before a snack street appeared in front of them.

Xiao Lan stood in front of a shop selling oden, holding a radish skewered on a bamboo stick, and was enjoying her meal.

Wen Shui walked over and couldn't help but complain, "Do you really want to eat wherever you go?"

"I didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning, and it's already noon." Xiaolan blew on the steaming boiled radish.

The angle at which she blew air was just right to bring the aroma of the food to Wen Shui, and Wen Shui's stomach started to rumble.

He then realized that it was already noon.

"Hey, are you hungry too? Want to try this?" Xiaolan held up the radish in her hand to Wenshui's face.

The radish that had been bitten into had obvious teeth marks.

He licked his lips with warm water, and was about to nod, driven by his appetite...

"It smells so good, let me try it and see if it's delicious." Ai Haibara covered up the bite mark that originally belonged to Ran with lightning speed.

Xiaolan looked at the half-eaten radish in her hand, then glanced at Wenshui's puppy-like eyes waiting to be fed: "Let's... let's not eat this for now. I suddenly want to eat pork chop rice. Let's make it ourselves when we get home."

Xiaolan swallowed the radish in one gulp.

Then, because it was too hot and burned her tongue, she kept fanning her mouth with her little hands, which made Wen Shui think she was a little clumsy and cute.

But then again, did he just experience a silent battleground?

"By the way, didn't you say you were going to contact Detective Sato?" Ai Haibara subtly interrupted Nuku's train of thought, changing the subject to something else.

Warm Water: "Oh, right, I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."

He then took out his phone and informed Miwako Sato about the "Goro Majima" business card and the rental apartment.

.

The three then took a car back to Beika Town.

I was just about to go to the store to buy the ingredients for fried pork cutlets when I passed an intersection.

Ran suddenly pointed to a little boy sitting in a phone booth: "Hey, isn't that Conan-kun?"

Wen Shui followed the girl's fair fingertips and saw a red-roofed glass phone booth on the roadside not far away. A bespectacled kid was sitting on it, looking at a building across the street, lost in thought.

A little girl dressed in red and wearing a light yellow headband is looking at Conan with a worried expression.

Across the street, a chubby little boy with a pointed head and a kid with his hair parted in the middle were explaining something to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Wen Shui's eyes lit up. Could these kids have encountered a murder case?

.

Let's go back to this morning.

Because it was the weekend, Conan had originally planned to go to Yuzhou with Ran.

Although he was unhappy that Uncle Mori and his classmates could get into trouble just by drinking, and that Ran had to come to his rescue, Conan thought it was a good thing to go to Tama with his childhood friend.

But to his surprise, he was kidnapped by a few members of the Junior Detective Club as soon as he stepped out.

There's no way around it; after all, his body has shrunk, and without using the gadgets developed for him by Professor Agasa, Conan really can't do anything about Genta Kojima, this simple-minded chubby boy.

Xiaolan also seemed to really hope that he could get along well with his friends.

They even thoughtfully gave him extra pocket money.

She's such a gentle and virtuous girl, but unfortunately she's a bit too naive and easily fooled. It seems like she could be easily led astray by that bastard Wen Shui and Shu.

"I still need to find a way to deal with the Black Organization as soon as possible. It would be safest to change my body back," Conan thought.

The Junior Detective League received a request from a classmate yesterday.

Ask them to help find a lost cat named "Akira," and the reward is ten dollars plus a limited edition Kamen Rider card.

Conan wasn't interested in finding the cat or the Kamen Rider cards.

Furthermore, since he was forced to come, he appeared very perfunctory during the investigation.

On the contrary, Genta and Ayumi seemed very enthusiastic, but unfortunately Beika Town was still too big, and it was not easy for the children to find a cat.

I worked all morning but didn't get anything out of it.

Conan couldn't help but think to himself, "These kinds of requests really should be left to Uncle Mori."

That guy managed to keep the detective agency afloat despite most of his cases involving finding cats, and he even managed to raise Ran. He must be quite capable.

But Uncle Mori probably wouldn't be interested in a reward like a Kamen Rider card, right?

"Hey, what's that over there?" Ayumi suddenly said.

The group looked in the direction she pointed and found that it was the side of a detached house with the windows open, but nothing else.

Ayumi: "I just saw a cat covered in blood crawl through that window."

"Could it be that someone is abusing animals?" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya immediately demonstrated a level of knowledge far beyond his peers.

Conan had been tricked by the kids' exaggerated actions more than once during his previous search for the cat, so he didn't take Ayumi's words seriously.

"I think we should call it a day. I'm getting a little hungry," Conan suggested.

Ayumi looked at Conan with a pitiful expression: "But I really saw it, Conan-kun, don't you believe me?"

"You must be mistaken, uh... maybe the cat got ketchup on itself while rummaging through the trash can." Conan's tone softened slightly.

"Impossible, I can still tell the difference between ketchup and blood." Ayumi insisted on her opinion.

Genta Kojima and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya surrounded Conan, their expressions unfriendly.

"Conan, don't you believe Ayumi's words?"

"You brat, how dare you bully Ayumi! You're despicable!"

Conan was cornered and had no choice but to compromise, sneaking into the family's yard with the kids to investigate.

Then they saw a cat covered in blood crawling out of the bathroom window.

In the bathroom lay a male corpse, also covered in blood. The deceased had a small mustache and was wearing a bathrobe.

"See? I told you I wasn't lying!" Ayumi Yoshida raised her cute little face and gestured to Conan with her eyes to praise her.

This precocious little girl showed absolutely no sign of fear upon seeing the corpse.

"Alright, let me find this murderer." Genta Kojima grabbed the window and started to climb inside.

Conan yanked Genta off.
