The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Lower your center of gravity and use your left foot. If you feel something is wrong, just lean to the side..."

Following the instructions, he completed a change of direction and simply slid out of a smooth curve. Tang Ze looked at the end of the snow path that was getting closer and closer, straightened up slowly, and pulled off his goggles while slowing down.

"I feel like I'm quite proficient now." Tang Ze looked at the protective gear on his body and said politely, "Can you take these off? It's inconvenient to move around."

As he spoke, his hands secretly touched the cotton pad covering the entire waist to buttocks.

"No." Toru Amuro raised his ski pole and knocked Karasawa's restless hands away. "Even if you are proficient, wearing protective gear can prevent you from being hit by others. Novices in the ski resort who don't care about stopping will , causing various types of collision accidents are not uncommon.”

When he said this, he looked at Tang Ze meaningfully, fully expressing his intention of naming and mocking someone.

"...My accident was not caused by sliding! Besides, are there any tourists on this intermediate road!"

As soon as Karasawa protested, Akai Shuichi, who was spinning his board in a cool circle, passed by him, reached out and tapped Karasawa's colorful goggles with his finger.

"Just wear protective gear. At least you won't get cold when sitting on the snow like this." He said vaguely with a lollipop in his mouth, "Snow pants are also very expensive. It's easy to sit directly on the snow. There are water droplets and it’s very uncomfortable.”

"Okay..." With a helpless sigh, Tang Ze adjusted the direction of the skis under his feet, slowly stopped at the bottom of the snow track, exhaled, unfastened the fixed buckles on the skis, and picked up the skateboard. .

As they say, Karasawa, who is extremely athletic and has good balance, masters the speed very quickly. Except for the initial own goal, he has never fallen into such an embarrassing state again, and only once almost missed it. When being rear-ended by someone from behind, the protective gear was able to play some role at least by turning sideways in an emergency.

"Skiing is still fun, right?" Suzuki Sonoko, who was waiting in the restaurant, saw the three of them walking in and waved to them with a smile, "Is the intermediate course fun?"

"The speed is faster, it is indeed more exciting, and there are fewer people..." Shrugging, Tang Ze opened his goggles, walked to them and sat down, "Have the others come back yet?"

"I went to the junior path to circle again, but the children didn't follow." Suzuki Sonoko pursed her lips in the other direction. Tangze looked along and saw three elementary school students outside the side door already building snowmen there.

Sure enough, I was still a kid, and when I came to ski, I started looking for new fun within an hour.

However, going to places with snow and building snowmen may be an instinct engraved in the genes of human cubs.

As for snowball fights, it’s a bit childish for elementary school students, but it’s just right for high school students.

Just look at the damp marks on Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan's bodies. For no reason, Suzuki Sonoko will not leave her hard-to-gather team of handsome guys and sit in the restaurant chatting with others.

"They are trying to get along..." Tang Ze, who took a cup of warm tea and looked at them leisurely, gradually realized something was wrong.

With the help of the doctor, their snowman was quite standard. The round body and round head were not too deformed, and they made a decent white snowball.

There is a red scarf around the neck, which I guess belongs to Dr. Ali. This step is also normal. Most people who make standard snowmen will also make similar decorations.

But, this, I first found a black headband and tied it on the snowman’s head, and then started to cover the head with a mop...

"They said they were going to build a joker." Suzuki Sonoko carefully observed their progress for a while and laughed. "Not to mention, it's quite interesting. The characteristics are very obvious and can be seen at a glance."

"Yeah, it's really fun. If I can get in touch with joker, I really want to send it to him directly." Mao Lilan also looked at the scene outside the door and laughed.

"It's not impossible. We send it to the Phantom Thieves channel. In theory, the members of the Phantom Thieves can see it, right?" Suzuki Sonoko quickly made a suggestion.

The two girls gathered together and muttered for a while, then quickly walked out with their mobile phones, as if they wanted to take pictures to show on the Phantom Thieves channel.

Looking at the mop-headed joker snowman standing outside the door, the corner of Karasawa's mouth twitched for a moment, and he resisted the urge to grab the mobile phones of Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan who started taking pictures and destroy the black history. He glanced at the person sitting in black clothes. Teammates at the table next to me.

He didn't even need to click on his phone to know how many photos these guys had already posted in the group.

These naughty kids deserve to repay their kindness with their revenge.

"Didi" sounded softly twice. Tang Ze lowered his eyes, took off his gloves and took out his mobile phone.

This kind of notification tone is from Kaitou Line. He usually doesn't take the initiative to turn on the ring bell, but when they have something important, even if they don't chat with him privately, he will ask Noah to come over and call him.

[Shade: I saw that your behavior when you met that group of people was quite unusual. I thought you would send your name soon. Are there no suitable targets among them? 】

[Joker: That’s not to say there’s nothing at all. I guess there might be something to gain from going to the fields to cultivate the fields, but it’s no longer necessary. 】

[Shade: Huh? Is this another case that you don’t want to intervene in? For example, the victim has a shadow, but the murderer does not. 】

[Joker: That’s pretty much what it means. The main thing is that meeting them means that one of them has been completely cold and is probably lying quietly in a villa on the mountainside. 】

[Shade: Hiss...]

[Joker: How about it, are you interested in joining in, Mr. Detective Goro Akechi? 】

[Shade:? No, no, no. 】

Looking up at Hoshikawa Teru's masked expression of pain, Karasawa smiled and put away his phone, waiting for the two female high school students to return after taking photos for him to post on their website.

Because the murderer was still not sure who should die, he made a plan to kill one person first and then use that person's death to test who would be guilty.

When he saw several of them, Sugiyama, the first clear target, had already collapsed in the house on the mountainside with his eyes fixed on his face. He was almost frozen solid at this moment.

It has to be said that although the murderer chose less honorable means, he was indeed a good and conscientious teacher. He would grieve over the murder of his students for several years, to the point where he made up his mind to kill the despicable murderer. those.

But from the perspective of the murderer's own grievances, the light that can be called a righteous sentence only uses the part of Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko to make the process of justice execution a little dusty.

As for asking Akechi to appear, that's just talk. Although Toru Amuro knew their identities and had accepted the setting that Karasawa had his own small team, Hoshikawa Teru was allowed to freely use Akechi Goro's identity and Amuro's identity. It's still a bit difficult for Toru's boss and employees.

Moreover, at this point, there is no way to extricate the murderer from the death-by-death strategy, so it is better to just let nature take its course.

The court will fully consider the murderer's motive of revenge for the students. The maximum limit is only 20 years, so it is better to fight happily.

Kill one to get your money back, kill two to earn blood.

Soon, a group of people whom Tang Ze was thinking about came in chatting and laughing.

"You are back, Mr. Yonehara, thank you for helping to look after Conan." The two girls who came back with a smile after taking the photo saw them and hurriedly said hello, "Hey, these two coaches are also..."

"What coach." Yonehara Koko laughed and slapped the two men whose faces started to turn red due to embarrassment. "These two are my colleagues. I have been transferred to Aido Elementary School for a long time."

"Hey, so, are you all elementary school teachers?" Mao Lilan took Conan and put it on his lap, and looked at several people curiously.

"Yes, this is the teacher who is currently teaching fifth grade, Shimoda Kohei, and this is the physical education teacher Sakai Ryuichi." Koko Yonehara took the initiative to introduce her fellow travelers, "There is also the lovely health teacher Nakamura Minori. Everyone. They are all my colleagues at Aidedo Elementary School.”

"Some people come here to ski with impure thoughts, hooking up with girls and hooking up with colleagues' students. Isn't it embarrassing?" Nakamura Minori teased the two of them with a smile, "You two are very young at heart."

"It's up to you to take care of it." Shimoda Kohei touched his nose in embarrassment and muttered in his mouth.

"Yes, we are traveling, not as teachers. Work is work and life is life." Sakai Takashi touched the back of his head and said calmly.

"Really? You really didn't do it because you were young..." Mihara Akiko narrowed her eyes and glanced at Karasawa and Toru Amuro with a pointed look.

She guessed that at that time, these two guys probably didn't see the appearance of this group of people clearly, so when they saw Suzuki and Maori, they couldn't control their hormones and got closer to them.

"Hehehehe..." Ryuichi Sakai shrank his shoulders in embarrassment and reluctantly changed the subject, "By the way, the other tourists are also your friends who came with you. Well, there seems to be no one here today."

"Yes, there were many tourists at noon, but it seems that they have all left at this point." Mao Lilan turned his head and looked around the somewhat empty restaurant.

Although the shouting and screaming of the three children of the Junior Detective Group somewhat increased the popularity of the place, it could not completely eliminate the uneasiness caused by the empty hall.

"It looks a bit scary." Suzuki Sonoko curled her lips and looked at Karasawa hesitantly.

I don’t know the reason, but generally speaking, if tourists leave actively, there may be something wrong with the ski resort, or there may be a problem with transportation down the mountain.

Although they have already booked accommodation nearby, if something unexpected happens, it will still be affected.

"Isn't this better?" Shimoda Kohei saw that Suzuki Sonoko was ready to ask the handsome guy for his opinion, so he quickly interrupted and said, "It's like a private tour, isn't it more fun? The snow paths have become smoother."

"Yes, yes. In the past, there would be many beginners lingering on the snow slopes, which would affect the experience. Now that we are here, why not enjoy it?" Ryuichi Sakai heard the meaning of his colleague's words and looked at it. Tang Ze also added.

Which pot should not be opened and lifted? I see your hall is darkened and you will die soon, brother.

Novice Tang Ze glanced at him faintly, and only stopped after the two men looked away.

"Compared to this, what happened to Mr. Sugiyama..." Mihara Koko looked down at his watch and frowned.

"Teacher Sugiyama?" Mao Lilan asked curiously, smelling a bit of gossip.

"He's the music teacher of our school." Shimoda Kohei shrugged, "He came with us and we made an appointment to meet here at 2 o'clock."

"Yeah, it's already this hour, but there's still no news, and there's no phone call." Ryuichi Sakai also frowned after looking at the time.

"Well, don't worry too much. The facilities at the ski resort here are very complete. For someone as big as Mr. Sugiyama, nothing will happen to him." Nakamura Minori saw that the atmosphere was somewhat condensed, and he quickly tried to cheer up the atmosphere, "After all, it's Sugiyama, he will be like this. Could he have returned to the villa we rented in advance, trying to scare us on purpose? "

"It is possible." Yonehara Koko nodded in agreement, "He is indeed capable of doing this kind of thing, and he likes to scare people."

"Well, since we are going to have dinner together in the evening, how about you go to the villa we rent?" Shimoda Kohei came a little closer to Suzuki Sonoko and actively invited her, "The villa we rent is quite big."

"I said Shimoda, don't stare at my students?" Yonehara Koko was half joking, half seriously glaring at the slightly oily Shimoda Kohei.

"Uh, this, we also rent a villa. After all, there are quite a lot of us." Suzuki Sonoko grinned and declined sheepishly.

If they hadn't come out in such a large group today, she might have agreed to the invitation.

Regardless of what these two men think, meeting Mr. Yonehara here by chance is still worth getting together and chatting about the current situation.

Although they all met the teacher back at their alma mater, due to Koko Yonehara's transfer, she had not seen her since she left elementary school. She was inexplicably excited when she saw that the teacher looked no different from before.

"That's it..." Shimoda Kohei couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes glanced at Suzuki Sonoko's ski clothes again.

He is a veteran skier who is familiar with all kinds of ski equipment. Showing off his coolness in front of novice girls and flirting with them are also actions he often tries at the ski resort.

With just one glance, he could recognize that everything on Suzuki Sonoko was valuable.

For a novice like this who is barely able to skate and can play a little on the snow slopes, to buy a complete set of equipment of this level in one go, this girl must have an unusual family background.

He didn't want to miss this good opportunity.

While he was racking his brains to figure out how to continue to create opportunities for contact, Tangze, who had been silent and just observing since they came back, suddenly asked.

"However, when I was skiing down the ski slope, I observed the road conditions below the snow-capped mountains. Are there many holiday villas nearby? I saw that there seemed to be very few residential houses, and they were all located at the bottom of the mountain. The same was true from the cable car." Tangze blinked and reminded him kindly, "Maybe we all live close to each other, so it wouldn't be a problem to have a meal together on the way."

"That's right." Realizing that the snow-capped mountains were unlikely to be filled with villas, Suzuki Sonoko quickly took out her phone and started looking for nearby maps.

Tangze smiled, and continued to hold the teacup and drink tea without moving despite the jealous Conan's condemning gaze.

Why are you glaring at him? Even if he doesn't mention this, they might still end up in the same place by different paths in the end. It's inevitable that they will have to spend a night with this group of people.

If his guess is correct, there is a high probability that there are no extra villas for everyone to rent in the snow-capped mountains here.

Blizzard Villa, Blizzard Villa, if it were turned into a Blizzard Villa area, wouldn't it suddenly lose its artistic conception?

————

"Eh?!" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened, "You said there was a time deviation in the reservation?! How could it be possible? I made the reservation three days in advance..."

"Sorry, sorry..." The man on the other end of the phone laughed, and the sound of flipping papers kept coming. He said helplessly, "But the other party made the reservation almost a month in advance. It may be a problem when we contacted... "

"Then what should we do now? I just looked at the map. There is only one villa nearby, and the nearest hotel is more than ten kilometers away..." Suzuki Sonoko sighed greatly, "There are quite a few people in our group, and there are several A car..."

"I'm really sorry. It's our problem here. We can waive part of your travel expenses. But, uh, it's like this. The size of our villa is okay. Another group of guests booked here, a total of five people. Itinerary, could you please discuss with them about sharing a room and spending the day together?" A string of honorifics came out, and the landlord apologized, "They had already checked in with their luggage in the morning, and now the weather The situation is not good and it is very difficult for them to move out temporarily..."

"Well, that's okay..." Suzuki Sonoko shook her head helplessly, then quickly reacted and asked, "What do you mean the weather is not good?"

When she said this, she couldn't help but look at the other people on the table, and then at the slightly empty restaurant. A bad premonition enveloped her.

Could it be...

"Hey, didn't everyone in the ski resort receive any notification broadcasts or emergency text messages?" The landlord was also a little surprised and said in a more urgent tone, "Over there in the snow mountain, the emergency broadcast at noon today may cause a large-scale emergency. It’s a snowstorm, the visibility is very low, it’s very dangerous to go out... You’re not still at the ski resort, are you?”

"Blizzard?! Huh?!"

Amidst Suzuki Sonoko's exclamations, Karasawa took another sip of tea and slowly exhaled.

He knows it, he knows it

How about it? The world of Kexue is amazing, right?
