A group of people returned to the hotel.

Coincidentally, I met Kogoro Mori with a sluggish expression in the front hall.

Suzuki Sonoko inquired curiously, and when he learned that this perverted old man who had gone to a mixed bath to prepare for an affair had actually met a monkey in the hot spring, he burst into a very unladylike 'haha' laugh.

For this, Mao Lilan also has no sympathy at all... Who told her father to go out to have an affair every time he came out to play, and did something that made her very angry after seeing it.

Seeing that no one spoke up for him, Mori Kogoro was so depressed, he handed over the bath tools in his hand to Dr. A Li and asked him to help him take them back to the room, then turned around and left the hotel in despair to drink dull wine.

Hui Yuanai emailed Ye Gengyi about the situation here.

Looking aside, Dr. A Li, who was on the phone with Mao Lilan and Conan behind his back, suddenly had a sense of mission-in-mission-impossible-spy in a trance.

Fortunately, the problem is nothing more than greedy children's naughty and adults' failed lust.

It's not enough to call back the two people who were searching for clues outside.

…

In front of the log cabin in the back mountain.

Under Ye Gengyi's suggestion, Muto Yuehiko finally agreed to act as a temporary tour guide and take him around the old village area of ​​Kitanosawa Reservoir.

It was almost noon in the overcast sky, and the cold air was blowing towards our faces.

The two put on their snowshoes and walked through the woods.

From Lake Sawajiri to the reservoir is a relatively flat mountain road.

Follow the channel all the way north.

The scenery also began to become monotonous.

At first, Muto Yuehiko thought that Ye Gengyi would not last long, so he would ask for a rest.

As a result, the reality refreshed his cognition once again, looking at the expression of the young man in front of him who was a little more calm than himself, the aborigine.

Takehiko Muto couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Maybe you should sign up for the snow walking activity held by the hotel..."

[If you want to breathe fresh air in the morning and go to Lake Sawajiri to see swans, sign up for snow walking activities at the front desk of the hotel. 】

Ye Gengyi remembered the poster posted on the bulletin board.

As one of the ways to get close to and investigate Wilderness Mizuki, hearing what Muto Yuehiko said at this time, he didn't deny it and said "hmm".

Sniffing the increasingly humid air.

Walked for nearly two hours.

The width of the canal in front increased sharply, and the water gate standing between the rock walls on both sides appeared in sight.

The old Beizhisawa Village in the past has long been covered under the glistening water.

"This is it..."

The light of dusk made Muto Yuehiko's expression a little more gloomy.

He put his hands on the guardrail, silently looking at the former residence in his memory, and began to feel sad.

Ye Gengyi had no intention of spoiling the atmosphere.

He walked to the other end of the guardrail and looked at two groups of fairly clear footprints on the snow.

Obviously judging from the direction, the owner of the footprints did not come from the duty room of the reservoir across a channel.

According to the shoe size, one is 43 and the other is 44. Judging from the ratio of foot length to body length and gait characteristics, the two are adult males of similar height.

It's a pity that they don't know if they are carrying any items, or what they are carrying, and there is no way to deduce the size and specific height of the two of them based on the existing traces.

Are other tourists driving here to visit?

Ye Gengyi thought about it, and called Muto Yueyan to the duty room of the reservoir, using drinking water as an excuse to understand the situation.

Unfortunately, when the two knocked on the door and entered the house, the three guards on duty who stayed here were playing poker. After chatting to further confirm that they did not see anyone else, they left and returned to the cabin in the mountains.

…

Time flickered to night.

Conan, who made no progress in the investigation, returned to the hotel angrily, only to find that Ye Gengyi hadn't come back yet.

He struggled for a while, then ran to ask Hui Yuanai.

For some reason, a certain detective boy always felt that if he was the one calling, there was a high probability that he would not be able to ask anything.

Hui Yuanai didn't know Ye Gengyi's location very well, but he did receive an email before dinner that he was eating hot pot outside.

Hearing this news, Conan didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

…

Everyone had dinner at the hotel.

Except for Mori Kogoro, who was still drunk and said to go back to the room to rest, the rest of the people came to the souvenir shop inside the hotel one after another, wanting to pick some souvenirs to buy home.

Suzuki Sonoko held a hand-made doll with village characteristics in his hand, and asked Mao Lilan, "Xiao Lan, what do you think of this?"

"Ah? Yuanzi, what did you say?" Mao Lilan, who was standing by the window looking at the snow scene outside, was startled.

"That's it," Suzuki Sonoko handed the things forward, "I want to buy it back as a gift for Ah Zhen."

Mao Lilan looked at the hand-made doll and said with a smile:

"Well, not bad, very cute."

"Uh, cute...?"

Suzuki Sonoko broke into a sweat, remembering the scene in the medical room in the afternoon, decided to verify the aesthetics of his best friend, and said instead:

"Then Xiaolan, what gift are you going to buy for Xinyi?"

"I don't need what he said," Mao Lilan waved his hand, "Anyway, I bought it back and he was not at home because of the investigation."

"Really!" Suzuki Sonoko said with hatred on his face, "If you don't put on a collar and continue to let him run around, be careful that he will be taken away by other women!"

Hey, what collar, am I a dog?

After hearing the name 'Shinichi', Conan, who came over to eavesdrop directly, was speechless.

Mao Lilan was a little uneasy when asked, hesitated for a moment and took out her mobile phone to call Kudo Shinichi.

Seeing this, Conan could only rush to answer the phone in the snowing yard.

The two chatted for a while.

Because Yuan Tai had a bad stomach, the three little heads who had been holding back in the room all afternoon suddenly ran out of the hotel in high spirits.

Conan didn't see Hui Yuanai's figure, so he chased after a few steps uneasy.

I also remembered that when I was on the phone with Xiaolan just now, I wrote down the types of gifts with my fingers on the snow and hadn't wiped them off, so there was such a delay.

In the end, it turned out that the child didn't catch up, and Xiaolan could clearly see the words written on the snow.

Miserable... Conan felt annoyed.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and he chased him out without a coat, and couldn't help but sneezed again.

Helplessly watching Mao Lilan, who was full of disappointment, returned to the hotel.

Conan hurried back to get his coat again.

the other side.

The three bold little heads of Yigao ignored the warning signs of the ski resort.

Sneaked into the snowmobile driving track, found a snowmobile that forgot to pull out the key due to the negligence of the staff, drove out of the field arrogantly and successfully overturned.

Use the detective armband to contact Conan.

On the side, Hui Yuanai, who was picking out gifts, came to his senses and found that the heads of the three little people were gone. He also expressed that he would go find someone together.

The two took a modified snowboard and followed the route to find the deadly trio.

Conan looked at the overturned snowmobile. There was no object to pull it up, even the telescopic sling couldn't pull it up:

"No way, I can only call the doctor and let them come over."

"Eh?!"

Yuan Tai turned pale in shock, "No way! Conan, the reason why I asked you to come and save us is because I don't want the doctors to know."

"I can't help it..."

With his hands on his hips, Conan was about to give a good lecture on how dangerous the three of them were to sneak out at night and drive a snowmobile.

As a result, the words started.

Here, Mitsuhiko suddenly shouted angrily: "It's all because Yuan is too bad! If you weren't too complacent, we wouldn't have rushed out of the runway!"

"what!"

Yuan Taixu looked back and asked, "Didn't you also have a good time playing? Isn't it you who are super shocking and exciting!"

"Well…"

Mitsuhiko choked, and retorted: "But... at least there must be a limit. I also said 'tell you to drive slowly' and 'It's dangerous if you don't watch the road'. You said it on your own!"

"What did you say!?" Yuan Tai's face darkened immediately.

"Stop talking..."

Ayumi wanted to step forward to persuade the fight, but was interrupted directly by Mitsuhiko: "What? Am I wrong? Shouldn't you think more before doing things?"

"Hey! Are you saying that I don't use my brain!" Yuan Tai stared at Mitsuhiko.

"Eh? Do you have a brain?" Mitsuhiko asked angrily.

"That's needless to say!" Yuan Tai replied: "I'm not like you! Every time I like to post the aftermath, it seems that it is someone else who is wrong!"

"I... I'm going to be an afterthought?" Mitsuhiko became annoyed, "Yuantai, you bastard..."

"How? Mitsuhiko, you bastard..." Yuan Tai rolled up his sleeves.

"Stop arguing!"

Conan snapped, "Stop talking, both of you. Once you say something, you can't take it back. Even if you regret it and admit your mistake, the wound you caused will never have a chance to be healed!"

"ah?"

Mitsuhiko and Yuan Taiyou were frightened, and they all stopped and turned their heads to look over.

Conan took a deep breath.

I suddenly remembered the presiding monk of Shengyue Temple last time in my mind, lowered my tone, and said softly:

"Language is a sharp blade. If you use it improperly, it will become a terrible weapon. Because of a mistake in one sentence, you may lose a lifelong friend. Once you miss it, you may never see each other again..."

"Yes, I'm sorry. Genta, I shouldn't have said that..."

Mitsuhiko was touched by these words, took a deep breath, lowered his head and said: "Besides, you shouldn't put all the responsibility on you as soon as you encounter problems."

"I, I made mistakes too..."

Yuantai scratched her head in embarrassment~lightnovelpub.net~ If she hadn't been so complacent before, maybe she wouldn't have encountered such a thing..."

Conan: "..."

The crux of the problem should not be that the three of you sneaked out!

I always feel like you guys haven't woken up at all...

Conan took a deep breath and didn't know whether he should continue to explain the pros and cons. Because once the topic changed from 'quarreling' to 'sneaking', he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any position to preach similarly, so he said instead:

"I don't know how long this snow will last. In short... let's tell the doctor about the situation here first."

"oh…"

This time, Mitsuhiko and Yuanta finally stopped objecting.
