Conan kissed me again and again, and Huiyuan was stunned

"Something bad is bound to happen to this villa..."

Everyone was immersed in the horror atmosphere deliberately created by the middle-aged man, with a few drops of sweat oozing from their cheeks, and they felt panic for a moment.

"I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mori Atsushi."

The middle-aged man, Mori Atsushi, put his hands in his trouser pockets, ignored the surprised expressions of the crowd, and casually walked around Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi. He took the initiative to step onto the stairs between the entrance and the corridor, and stated calmly:

"I parked the car in the forest not far from the villa and waited for you to come, but there was a blizzard outside.

Now, I need a place to stay for the night.”

"Hey, wait!"

Sakai Ryuichi quickly rushed to Mori Atsushi, trying to stop him with both hands but not daring to really touch him, and stopped him briefly:

"you......"

Sakai Ryuichi hasn't finished speaking yet.

"Are you sure?"

Mori Atsushi calmly stopped in front of Sakai Ryuichi on the right, glanced at him sinisterly, and said in a low voice with a hint of threat:

"I'll write it in the news... a teacher at Beihu Primary School mercilessly abandoned a newspaper reporter in a snowstorm."

Sakai Ryuichi suddenly froze.

He let his hands fall down at his sides, staring blankly at Atsushi Mori, unable to speak for a moment.

Mori Atsushi followed suit and bypassed Sakai Ryuichi. He walked slowly along the corridor without looking back. He raised his right hand to the right of his head and waved slightly, saying goodbye calmly:

"Okay, let's just get along well tonight."

Everyone turned around and stared in silence at Atsushi Mori's thin back as he walked away.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi turned 180 degrees, put their hands in their pockets, looked at Mori Atsushi with a serious expression, and made a solemn inference in their hearts:

"It seems that there is a high possibility that a case will occur tonight. We must be on high alert to the greatest extent possible."

--------

after a while.

Bright living room.

"Eh?"

Xiaolan chose her bedroom and put away her luggage. She wore a thin dark blue coat with only the collar buttons fastened, a white sweater and an orange skirt.

At this moment, she stood outside the living room door, pushed it open with a little force, and walked into the living room with Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi on her left and right. Suddenly, she realized...

A roaring fire was rising from the fireplace.

Atsushi Mori sat on a wooden chair in front of the fireplace, hunched over, warming himself by the fire with his fingers bent.

Suzuki Sonoko was standing not far to the front right of the door.

She was wearing a thin beige coat and a crimson dress, and was idly watching the flames flickering in the fireplace. She unexpectedly heard the door open, and turned to look at Xiaolan and the other two.

Xiaolan looked at Yuanzi in confusion and asked curiously:

"Where did everyone go?"

"I do not know either."

Suzuki Sonoko spread her hands helplessly and guessed seriously:

"Everyone dispersed at once. I guess they went to take a shower or change clothes."

"Oh."

Xiaolan nodded cutely, and walked towards Suzuki Sonoko gracefully with Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi.

Sonoko turned sideways, put her hands on her hips, and looked unhappily at Mori Atsushi who was still warming himself by the fire and ignoring everyone else, and complained in frustration:

"Everyone was having a great time, but that person ruined the atmosphere!"

The voice just fell.

"Ms. Sonoko?"

Yonehara Akiko walked into the living room elegantly, holding a stack of white sheets in both hands. She looked at Suzuki Sonoko gently and invited her in a persuasive manner:

"Don't worry about that guy for now, come and help me make the beds for everyone~!"

"Okay~!"

Suzuki Sonoko suppressed her emotions, turned around and looked at Yonehara Akiko, smiling sweetly.

"Oh, by the way, there are also Ms. Lan, Conan, and Haoyue."

Yonehara Akiko belatedly looked at Xiaolan and the other two on the left of Suzuki Sonoko, and asked gently:

"Please go to the kitchen and help Teacher Minori make dinner."

"Yeah, okay."

Xiaolan looked at Yonehara Akiko calmly and smiled politely.

"Mr. Yonehara~"

Dongfang Haoyue dragged Kudo Shinichi to the right front of Yonehara Akiko and confirmed with feigned curiosity:

"Did Mr. Sugiyama, who was late, call?"

"No."

Yonehara Akiko looked at Dongfang Haoyue kindly and narrated in a clear and elegant voice:

“I actually called his home, but there was only an automated message tone.

I guess...he should be on his way here."

"Ow."

Dongfang Haoyue nodded politely and began to think seriously.

Kudo Shinichi withdrew his calm gaze from Yonehara Akiko and turned to look at the empty corridor, and a hint of heaviness appeared on his handsome face.

"Mr. Yonehara~!"

Suzuki Sonoko walked quickly forward and stopped to the right of Yonehara Akiko, smiling crescent-shaped and urging her:

"Let's make the bed early and rest early~~~!"

"Ah."

Akiko Yonehara walked slowly toward the door, smiling elegantly.

"Conan, Haoyue~"

Xiaolan walked lightly between Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, who had voluntarily given up their seats, looked back and forth at them, and gently reminded them:

"We should go help in the kitchen too~!"

"Ok!"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi restrained their thoughts and looked at Xiaolan together, looking very well-behaved.

Seven seconds later.

Empty first floor corridor.

Xiaolan and the other two walked towards the kitchen far to the front left with different emotions.

Dongfang Haoyue had already moved.

She followed Xiaolan steadily to her right, put her red lips close to Kudo Shinichi's ear, and asked for his advice in a very low voice:

"Shinichi, do you also think that something happened to that Sugiyama teacher?"

"Well, most likely."

Kudo Shinichi nodded slightly, turned to look at Dongfang Haoyue who had retracted his head, and explained rationally in a low voice:

"The icicles hanging from the eaves of the villa indicate that someone had entered the villa and turned on the heating before we arrived here."

"No wonder Shinichi just stopped outside the villa and didn't come in, staring at the icicles..."

Dongfang Haoyue shrugged his shoulders in sudden realization, and said in a serious and gentle voice:

"In other words, the person who entered the villa early is most likely Mr. Sugiyama, who has no news at the moment?"

"Yes, he may have driven here and left, or he may have..."

Kudo Shinichi's eyes narrowed, and he speculated in a low voice:

"It is also possible that the criminal brought Sugiyama-sensei here and brutally killed him or knocked him out with anesthetics.

Finally, the criminal found a place to hide in Shanshan, drove to the ski resort, and reunited with everyone as if nothing had happened. "

"I think it's more likely that Sugiyama-sensei was murdered. After all..."

Dongfang Haoyue hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands together and let them hang down at his sides, rubbing his palms with his fingertips, and said sadly:

"Tonight's situation was very strange. We have experienced similar encounters many times...!"
