Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 894: Snow Shadow Village Murder Incident

The next day, at around 6:00 in the morning, Gao Cheng was called to wake up, and the snow was already falling outside the hotel. The miraculous scene made Gao Cheng wake up a lot in an instant.

There are still many cherry blossoms in full bloom in the streets, like a large-scale magic in the swirling snowflakes.

It was a magic of nature that even Kidd could only marvel at.

"It actually snows, no wonder this village believes in the Snow God."

Wrapped in a quilt, Gao Cheng climbed to the balcony to look at the snow-shrouded village and the blurred mountains in the distance.

There is a mysterious quiet atmosphere...

"Xiaosuke! Xiaodu! Here, here!" On the other side of the street, Shimadzu, a sporty boy who got up early, waited for the two little ones and the girl with a headband.

"Is Uozumi and Fuyumi still here?"

"What should I do?" Shimadzu asked to check the time. "In 10 minutes, the snow will be thick."

"Anyway, they also said that if it's late, let us go first, and everyone meet at the school..."

Everyone discussed going to Xueying High School first, and the two boys brought two shovels for digging the capsules. Of course, the girls don't need it.

Xiaodu looked back at the balcony hotel in the snow, feeling a little disappointed.

"Is Kido-kun still not coming?"

"Yeah, there's no way, after all, he's a real Tokyo native, different from Xiaosuke and us..."

"You don't need to say that, do you? Kido-kun must be shy, and the matter of the capsule has nothing to do with him." Xiao Du helped explain.

"Ah Choo!"

In the balcony room of the hotel, Gao Cheng continued to wrap the quilt tightly to watch the snow, and glanced at Xiao Ai who was also huddled in the quilt from the corner of his eye.

No one told him that it would suddenly become cold here, and he had never encountered a situation where spring turned into winter overnight, but it was often summer.

This time I came here without any winter clothes at all...

"Ahhh," Aunt Jimei temporarily found a sweater for Xiao Ai to wear, but it looked like a woolen skirt, "This is the only sweater I had when I was young, and it seems too big!"

"It's pretty good."

Xiao Ai tugged on the sweater that just covered her buttocks, she was quite satisfied, anyway, she was not interested in going out in the morning.

The blooming cherry blossoms were covered by snow, she could only feel sadness, she might as well not look at it.

Gao Cheng closed the doors and windows, and after there was no cold wind, the room became much warmer. Aunt Jimei also took out a sweater for him, which barely fit, but it still looked a little funny. He hadn't promised those students to go to Xueying Junior High School.

After getting dressed, open the doors and windows again, and enjoy a bowl of hot soup while enjoying the snow scene.

"I'm sorry, Auntie Jimei," Gao Cheng said embarrassedly, "I came to see you, but it turned out to be a lot of trouble."

"It's nothing, it's much more lively with you guys here," Aunt Jimmy said with a smile, "I'll go prepare breakfast."

Xiao Ai followed Aunt Jimmy and left the room, leaving Gao Cheng alone to drink the soup.

It's really strange, Xiao Ai is usually quite indifferent to others, but this time it took only two days to adapt to the life here, as if she had lived in the village.

Puzzled, he put down the soup bowl, and Gao Chengcheng followed Xue Jing to take out his mobile phone to check the news.

In Tokyo, the uncle didn’t seem to be doing much. Surprisingly, there was no special case reported in the media, but a strange piece of news hit the headlines.

An entertainment venue in Kabukicho recently launched a cowherd army composed of dozens of super handsome guys, and one of the top players was beaten into a pig's head by a rich wife and husband.

In the wonderful world of Conan, why is there such a job as a cowherd?

Gao Cheng thought about the incident of the mountain demon mother-in-law who got the Cowherd card back then,

The grandson of the cowherd who underwent plastic surgery seems to be working hard to become a chef of his dreams.

"call!"

In Xueying Junior High School, the blooming cherry blossoms are gradually covered with snow, and the snowflakes and cherry blossoms are perfectly combined. Even the girl with a headband who has been staying in the village can't stop her joy when she sees her.

"so beautiful!"

"There is not too much snow, and it feels just right, right?"

A chubby boy patted Xiaosuke who was in nostalgia.

After leaving for 5 years, seeing this picture of Sakura Snow again, my thoughts seem to have returned to that time 5 years ago. He still keeps the photos taken when everyone buried the capsules.

"Hi!" Yuzhu, the fisherman's son, came from behind shouting with a shovel, "Sorry! I'm late!"

"Yuzhu, you went to the pier again?"

"No way, as long as I have to go over and say hello..."

"Hey, hey," Xiaosuke suddenly noticed a string of footprints on the empty snowy ground on the campus, extending from the school gate, and quickly called out to his companions, "It seems that someone arrived first..."

Xiaodu complained: "It must be Dongmei, really, she didn't wait for us!"

"no……"

Xiaosuke followed the footprints and looked into the campus in a daze, his gaze gradually tightened.

"Yes, someone fell over there."

In the snow-white campus, at the end of intermittent black footprints, a girl in a white coat threw herself on the snow, letting the snowflakes pile up on her body without moving.

Several other people who were familiar with the white coat suddenly changed their faces and ran towards the girl in a hurry.

"It's Fuyumi!!"

"Cheer up, Fuyumi!"

"how so?"

Xiaosuke, who was the first to pick up the girl, broke down and choked up.

"hateful!!"

"Ok?"

In the balcony hotel, Gao Cheng put down his cell phone and looked outside.

Two villagers who happened to pass by were discussing what happened at the temple yesterday morning. They heard that the three short arrows placed on Chuncai's body disappeared after a night, and the temple was very chaotic because of this incident.

"Yesterday morning? Strange, what are you doing stealing that kind of thing?"

"There are also a lot of little ghosts who like spring vegetables in the village. Maybe someone's little ghost did it."

"Anyway, it's absolutely impossible to be Yasuo from my family."

Gao Cheng poked his head out to watch the villagers disappear into the snow.

Just like the legend in this village, the snow turned into rain within an hour, and the accumulated snow was quickly washed away, and the cherry blossoms showed their original appearance.

"It seems that something happened."

Hearing a siren sound from the direction of Xueying Junior High School, Gao Cheng hurriedly put on his coat and went out with an umbrella.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Jimmy who was still busy asked in surprise, "Did something happen?"

"Probably."

Gao Cheng nodded to Aunt Jimei, and without letting Xiao Ai follow, he hurried to Xueying Junior High School alone.

This kind of small village attracted the police to visit, and those students said that they would go to Xueying Junior High School to dig a time capsule today, which is really not reassuring.

Snow shadow junior high school incident playground has gathered a lot of forensic personnel to collect evidence, and the old detective Washio who leads the team is interviewing several students who reported the crime in the teaching office.

"So, when you came, did you really only have the victim's own footprints?"

"Yes, everyone has seen it, there are absolutely no other footprints," the fat boy explained, "if someone walks through that kind of thin snow, they will definitely leave footprints!"

"Well," said the old criminal policeman, touching his chin, "if that's the case, he committed suicide..."

"Wait, wait a minute," the red-eyed Xiaosuke said anxiously, "Didn't the cause of Dongmei's death be the short arrow stuck in the back of her neck? How could this be suicide? Police officer..."

"That's enough, Xiaosuke," Shimadzu interrupted, "If it wasn't suicide, then who killed Fuyumi?!"

"But……"

"There can't be a murderer in this village! Or do you think that Kido from Tokyo is the murderer? Others only know us..."

"But," Xiaosuke said painfully while scratching her hair, "First Haruna, now even Fuyumi is dead! Fuyumi just tried on the shrine maiden costume for the Sakura Snow Festival yesterday, and she said she was going to Tokyo during the Golden Week, how could she commit suicide inexplicably? !"

"How do you explain the footprints? Didn't you also see it? At that time, in the vast white campus, apart from Dongmei's footprints, let alone human footprints, there was not even a cat's footprint!"

"Okay, little devils," the old criminal policeman interrupted the quarreling crowd, and said impatiently, "If your testimony is correct, you can only commit suicide, so that's it, you can go back, if there is anything you need to ask , we will contact you individually."

A few students fell silent, and even Xiao Du, who had always dreamed of becoming a reasoning writer, could only bite his lips unwillingly, feeling sad from the bottom of his heart.

My classmate is dead, but I can't help you with anything...

"Actually, the possibility of homicide is not completely impossible." Gao Cheng appeared at the door, just in time to stop everyone who was about to leave.

"Huh?" Seeing Gao Cheng frown, the old detective asked, "Who are you?"

"Mr. Kido?"

Xiao Du stopped and looked at Gao Cheng one after another.

"Kito-kun, why are you here?"
