Director, This Script Isn't Right

"Yunwen-kun, have fun with your friends. Be sure to be home before 10 PM. Also, take care of yourself and don't play any overly thrilling games. If you feel unwell, call an ambulance immediately, okay?"

Kojima Mie said, her voice full of concern, at the front door.

Shu Yunwen readily agreed and only breathed a sigh of relief after walking a considerable distance.

His aunt was indeed very good to him, but he couldn't quite handle being watched so closely! Shu Yunwen was already thinking about moving back to his own home after some time. Speaking of which, his own home hadn't been lived in for a long time, so he'd need to find a cleaning company to help tidy it up...

He felt his pocket and pulled out the check Yamazaki Akiji had given him yesterday. He let out a whistle and headed towards a nearby bank.

In the taxi heading to Tropical Land.

Shu Yunwen held his newly purchased compact video camera, feeling a bit down.

Yesterday, Yamazaki Akiji, that big spender, had shown up and given him fifty thousand US dollars. Shu Yunwen had thought he could live a leisurely life for a while. He hadn't expected that after buying the best compact video camera, it would already cost more than half of that.

Japanese yen, no matter how many tens or hundreds of thousands it sounded like, wasn't very practical when spending!

Well, if it weren't for wanting to film the bizarre scene of Kudo Shinichi shrinking from an adult to a child, he probably wouldn't need this thing.

The car stopped in front of Tropical Land. Shu Yunwen paid the fare and scanned the entrance of Tropical Land back and forth, spotting Tsukamoto Kazumi waiting there, wearing a light green knee-length skirt.

Seeing Shu Yunwen approach, Tsukamoto Kazumi immediately walked over and waved gently, "Shu-san, you're here."

"Ah... I'm sorry, Kazumi-san, I seem to be late..." Shu Yunwen's gaze lingered on Tsukamoto Kazumi for a moment as he apologized.

Tsukamoto Kazumi looked so beautiful dressed like this. Shu Yunwen felt he could hardly believe he had the chance to go on a date with such a beauty.

Tsukamoto Kazumi shook her head, "No, it's not that. I arrived early. My home is nearby, and I wanted to look around the area..."

As they chatted, they paid for their tickets and entered Tropical Land.

After strolling for a bit, Tsukamoto Kazumi's gaze fell upon an ice cream stall, and she seemed to really want some.

Shu Yunwen paused for a moment and immediately took out his wallet, "Excuse me, could we please have two ice creams?"

Tsukamoto Kazumi immediately waved her hand, "No, you don't have to spend money like this. I invited you..."

Shu Yunwen smiled, "You don't need to be polite, Kazumi!"

The person at the ice cream stall was a young woman in a park employee uniform. She looked young and was likely working part-time. She took the money and handed the change and ice cream to Shu Yunwen, "Thank you for your business. Also, your daughter is very beautiful..."

"Pfft..." Tsukamoto Kazumi chuckled beside him.

"Uh..."

Shu Yunwen felt like he'd turned to stone. A little devil appeared in his mind, grabbing the ice cream vendor by one hand and slapping her face repeatedly—Who said I was her father? Try saying that again! Try saying that again!

Of course, Shu Yunwen only thought about such violent actions; he would never actually do them.

Fine, I won't stoop to your level!

Putting away the change, Shu Yunwen handed one of the ice creams to Tsukamoto Kazumi, "Kazumi-san, here's yours."

"Thank you, Yunwen-san," Tsukamoto Kazumi thanked him, took the ice cream, and licked it slowly.

Her action was quite alluring.

After a few licks, Tsukamoto Kazumi noticed Shu Yunwen staring at her and lowered her head shyly, "Yunwen-san..."

"Ah..." Shu Yunwen snapped back to reality and quickly apologized, "Kazumi-san, I'm so sorry, that was very rude of me..."

Just as Shu Yunwen finished speaking, before Tsukamoto Kazumi could reply, a child's voice came from not far away, "Yun, Yunwen-ge, why are you here?"

Shu Yunwen turned his head and saw three little brats looking at him.

One was a chubby boy with a look of surprise, and the other two were a cute, curious boy and girl. The boy had freckles on his cheeks, and the girl was dressed cutely.

"Genta? You? Did you sneak out to play?" Shu Yunwen was surprised and then suddenly remembered that in the Tropical Land case, Genta seemed to have made a cameo appearance.

The little chubby boy immediately looked panicked, "I, I've been found out! Yunwen-ge, please, you absolutely must not tell my mom."

The little chubby boy in front of him was Genta. Beside him were naturally Yoshida Ayumi and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko.

Mitsuhiko looked at Genta's expression and helplessly quipped, "Genta, with you acting like that, this 'uncle' is even more likely to tell your mo~m~."

Ayumi looked at Tsukamoto Kazumi, "Wh-what a beautiful big sister. Is big sister here to play with this uncle?"

Tsukamoto Kazumi chuckled beside him again.

Shu Yunwen's mouth twitched twice, and a "well" symbol appeared above his head.

Damn it! Stop calling me uncle!

He tried his best to force a kind smile and said, "Two children, you don't need to call me 'uncle.' I'm actually not that old. I'm Genta's older cousin, please take care of me."

"Ah? Genta's older cousin? Can an older cousin be this much older than Genta?" Ayumi covered her small mouth with one hand, looking incredulous.

Mitsuhiko rested his chin on his hand, looking very wise, "I think it must be because there's a large age gap between their parents' generation. Yes, yes, so even though he's fifty years old, he's Genta's older cousin..."

F-fifty years old?

Shu Yunwen felt like he was about to turn dark, but looking at these little kids...

Forget it! Children speak their minds. I won't hold it against you.

"Heh heh..." Shu Yunwen smiled faintly, "If you all call me 'Brother' from now on instead of 'Uncle', I can treat you to ice cream!"

"R-really? We're just meeting for the first time." Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko's face lit up with joy, then he turned to the female ice cream vendor and said, "One strawberry flavor, please!"

Hey, hey, hey! You're not being polite just because it's your first time meeting him!

"I want apple flavor!" Yoshida Ayumi ordered her ice cream first, then thanked Shu Yunwen, "Thank you for the treat, Brother."

"I, I want one too, banana flavor." Genta also got one.

The amusement park worker smiled and handed the three ice creams to the children. Shu Yunwen took out his wallet to pay when a smug voice suddenly came from the side, "Shu-san is also at the amusement park today? Treating kids to ice cream..."

Shu Yunwen turned his head and saw Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran waving from not far away.

What a coincidence to run into them here? We're still a distance away from the roller coaster.

Shu Yunwen thought to himself, but politely said, "Oh, it's Student Kudo and Student Mori. Would you like one too?"

"That would be really imposing on you!" Kudo Shinichi scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed look.

Shu Yunwen felt like spitting blood—

Damn it, doesn't this guy understand politeness!

After everyone had their ice cream, Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran finally noticed Tsukamoto Kazumi and quickly greeted her, "Xiumei, we're really sorry. We didn't see you just now, how rude of us."

Tsukamoto Kazumi smiled, "Hello, Student Kudo and Student Mori. Are you two on a date?"

"Ah~~ Not exactly~" Mori Ran's face immediately started steaming.

Tsukamoto Kazumi said, "I never expected to run into you here. Since we're all here, why don't we hang out together!"

"Hang out together? W-would that be too much of a bother?" Ran and Shinichi looked at Shu Yunwen, then at Tsukamoto Kazumi.

These two must be on a date together too, right?

And Xiumei-senpai seems to have really changed. Tsukamoto Kazumi has always been cold and aloof, everyone knows that. How could she be like this when she's with Shu Yunwen?

Tsukamoto Kazumi smiled and said, "Of course not. It just so happens that Yunwen-san also met his younger brother and his brother's classmates. It'll be more lively if we all play together..."

"Then we'll be troubling you," Ran agreed.

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes and turned to Genta and the others, "Genta, you and your friends stick close to me later, okay?"

"Got it, Brother Yunwen," Genta replied.

Ayumi quickly bowed, "Thank you, big brother. My name is Yoshida Ayumi, please take care of me!"

Mitsuhiko also bowed, "My name is Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko, please take care of me."

Then, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko looked at Kudo Shinichi with admiration, "Big brother, could you be the legendary high school detective, Kudo Shinichi?"

"Huh? That's right, it's me!" Kudo Shinichi was taken aback for a moment, then replied.

"That's amazing!" The three little ones exclaimed.

Shu Yunwen was annoyed and rolled his eyes, "Let's go!"

The group walked for a while and played a few games before reaching the roller coaster. After buying tickets and queuing, the three little ones excitedly clamored to ride.

"Hitomi, look how affectionate Mr. Kishida and Aiko are!"

Someone nearby whispered. Shu Yunwen turned and saw four people standing together: one man and three women. One couple seemed to be very close and intimate. Shu Yunwen paused, then suddenly realized—

These four must be the main characters of the roller coaster case!

Hmm, it seems the one who gets killed is that man.

If these four are here, that means...

Shu Yunwen turned his head and scanned his surroundings, spotting two men in black, one burly and one tall and thin.

Gin! Vodka!

These two really came too.

Beside Shu Yunwen, Kudo Shinichi followed Shu Yunwen's gaze and also saw Gin and Vodka, his brow furrowed deeply.

Amidst the broadcast, the staff called the queued people to board the roller coaster. Those four people, Gin, Vodka, Shinichi, and Ran moved towards the side of the roller coaster. Kudo Shinichi's gaze kept returning to Gin and Vodka, lost in thought. Genta and the other two were excited and went up to Hitomi, Aiko, and the others, "Pretty ladies, can we ride first?"

"Um..." Aiko hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Of course! Mr. Kishida, shall we let the children go first?"

"Ha! No problem," Mr. Kishida readily agreed.

Hitomi was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Then I'll give my spot to the children too."

Next to Hitomi, the person named Reiko also said, "Then I'll wait for the next round."

Genta and the other two immediately cheered, "Thank you! Thank you, ladies, and this gentleman!"

Shu Yunwen stared blankly from the side.

He looked at Gin and Vodka, who were already sitting in the last row, and Shinichi and Ran, who were in the second row.

Logically, shouldn't Hitomi and Reiko be in the first row, and Aiko and Kishida in the third? With these three brats interfering, Hitomi and the others have to wait for the next round. Won't the murder case happen in the next round? If Kudo Shinichi doesn't personally experience the murder, won't it take him longer to solve the case? If he takes too long, will he lose track of Gin and Vodka, and then not take the shrinking medicine...

Director, this script is wrong!

The scenes are all mixed up, this might fall apart!

To allow Conan-kun to appear smoothly, Shu Yunwen stepped forward and, without a word, punched Genta on the head. "Genta, don't cause trouble for others!"

Seeing this, Reiko quickly waved her hands. "Sir, please don't do that. They're very cute and haven't caused us any trouble! Hitomi, Aiko, Mr. Kishida, let's go wait over there for now!"

Hey, hey, hey! Why are you leaving already? I'm trying to prevent the plot from being ruined here, okay?

At this moment, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were already seated in the front row. Genta looked up, gazing pleadingly at Shu Yunwen. Seeing that Aiko and the others had already walked away, Shu Yunwen could only wave his hand and let Genta sit down.

Tsukamoto Kazumi asked from the side, "There's still an empty seat. Yunwen-san, do you want to sit?"

"This... I'll pass." Shu Yunwen shook his head, while inwardly contemplating that after this ride, when Kishida and the other four took their seats in the next round, he would give up his spot and let Kudo Shinichi take it, making it easier for him to solve the case later.

Yeah, no matter what, this plot had to return to its origin.

Seeing that Shu Yunwen wasn't going to sit, Tsukamoto Kazumi also shook her head. "Then I'll wait too."

The staff saw that neither Shu Yunwen nor Tsukamoto Kazumi were sitting, so they found someone who came alone and had them sit down. The roller coaster then set off.

A while later, the coaster stopped on the track again, and everyone got off. Gin and Vodka cast indifferent glances around before leaving in a hurry.

After a simple safety check, the broadcast announced that the next group for the roller coaster should get ready to board. Shu Yunwen was thinking about how to trick Kudo Shinichi into riding it again when he saw Kudo Shinichi say something to Ran and then quickly run off into the distance.

Shu Yunwen's eyes followed him, and he felt an urge to give up. "Kudo Shinichi, why are you running?"

Kudo Shinichi turned his head and waved. "Sorry, Student Shu, I have some things to take care of, so I'm leaving first!"

Leaving first, leaving, la la la la...

What the hell! If the protagonist of this manga is gone, what am I still doing here?

A "well" symbol appeared on Shu Yunwen's forehead. He asked Ran, "Student Mori, Student Kudo, he's..."

"He, he seemed to have noticed those two people in black..."

Before Ran could finish, Shu Yunwen roughly understood.

So, "Washing Machine" had sensed the heavy killing intent from Gin and Vodka and rushed off to cleanse the world of sin. However, if he went after them now, would he shrink?

"Yunwen-san, it's just the two of us left who haven't boarded. Should we go too!" Tsukamoto Kazumi said at this moment, taking Shu Yunwen's hand and pointing at the roller coaster on the track.

Shu Yunwen glanced over. The empty seats were in the second row. The first row had Hitomi and Reiko, and the third row had Aiko and Kishida.

Alright! Their seating positions hadn't changed.

Shu Yunwen hesitated for a moment, but then thought about absorbing souls and got into the roller coaster with Tsukamoto Kazumi. Tsukamoto Kazumi waved to Ran and said, "Student Mori, please take care of Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko!"

"I understand," Ran nodded in response.

The roller coaster set off. Tsukamoto Kazumi reached out and grabbed Shu Yunwen's hand, suddenly asking, "Yunwen-san, you don't seem to like it? But, you used to really like playing this..."

"Really?" Shu Yunwen was stunned. "I've played this before?"

"Of course," Tsukamoto Kazumi looked at Shu Yunwen. "When we came to Tropical Land together, you always rode the roller coaster."

"Uh..." Shu Yunwen was taken aback, then said with a sheepish expression, "Sorry, I don't remember."

"It's okay," Tsukamoto Kazumi smiled.

Shu Yunwen scratched his head with his other hand, then took a handheld camera out of his pocket and turned it on, pointing the lens upwards.

As the roller coaster's speed increased, Shu Yunwen activated his "Ghost Eye" and looked around. As for Tsukamoto Kazumi, she had already closed her eyes, trembling, and was gripping Shu Yunwen's hand so tightly that it hurt.

"Kazumi, are you scared?" Shu Yunwen asked.

Tsukamoto Kazumi opened her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering gently. "This is my first time riding a roller coaster, so I'm very nervous. Am I gripping too hard? I'm so sorry for causing you trouble."

"N-no, it's fine..."

Shu Yunwen pondered and suddenly understood.

Tsukamoto Kazumi was probably very afraid of roller coasters, while his predecessor really liked them. Now, Tsukamoto Kazumi was forcing herself to ride it to help him regain his memories.

"Kazumi, thank you," Shu Yunwen said gratefully.

Tsukamoto Kazumi replied, "No, no need. We don't need to say 'thank you' to each other."

"Why?" Shu Yunwen asked.

At the same time, a tunnel could be seen ahead.

Tsukamoto Kazumi looked at Shu Yunwen and slowly said, "Because, before your accident, we were dating..."

As her words fell, the surroundings suddenly became dark.

Shu Yunwen was also in a daze.

What was this? Was he being confessed to? If he agreed now, would it mean he was officially off the market?

He knew that in his past life, as a single dog with an uncle's face, his life had been very difficult.

There was a saying, wasn't there? Something about basic needs being met by one's own hands...

However, he didn't seem to have any emotional foundation with Tsukamoto Kazumi at all! If he agreed just like that, it would be too irresponsible.

Shu Yunwen wrestled with his thoughts for a long time. Finally, the idea of getting off the market gained the upper hand, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a scream, "Ah!" Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Kazumi turned their heads together—

A man's body was missing its head, and blood was still gushing from his neck.

Holy crap!

Then Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Kazumi turned their heads at the same time and started vomiting.

In Shu Yunwen's mind, that fountain-like scene was incredibly beautiful. As he vomited, Shu Yunwen suddenly remembered that he had intended to say a few words and successfully find a partner?

In this situation, with a corpse behind them and Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Kazumi vomiting on either side, this intoxicating scene... find a partner, my foot!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

PS: This chapter is too long. I originally planned to finish and post it last night, but as I was writing, it was hard to break it up, so I decided to finish it today before posting.

Hmm, over five thousand characters, that's substantial!
