Suddenly there were snowflakes in the sky.
Several members of the chat group who were still in a happy atmosphere obviously failed to realize what Conan's return meant.
"With this weather, the Escape King and Shadow Mage probably won't be able to come."
Naoko Kuroda stood by the water dispenser waiting for the water to boil, while the others returned to the room to check whether they had brought cold medicine.
"I didn't expect that someone would actually get sick."
Kuroba Kaito, who was pretending to be a medical student, felt that he was facing a life crisis: "Oh... there is nothing we can do about a fever without medicine. If I had known, I would have said that I was studying veterinary medicine."
"Did you check this place properly during the day?"
Ye Gengyi leaned against the window and looked out for a few times. Although due to the angle, he could not see the situation on the other side of the suspension bridge, but there was no trace of Mouri Kogoro after such a long time, which was enough to explain a lot of problems. .
"Of course," Kuroba Kaito thought Ye Gengyi was talking about choosing the wrong career, and said helplessly: "Forget it about the others, Mr. Huang lives in such a remote villa, and he is not prepared to catch a cold at home. medicine."
"Then you can use the excuse of your poor academic performance to try to get through." Ye Gengyi said.
"Haha... I don't know if the little detective can survive this until dawn," Kuroba Kaito said, seeming to have remembered something: "Brother, I remember that your physical condition has not been very good recently. Okay, but be careful not to get sick."
Ye Gengyi asked strangely: "Why are you worried about that? I have brought cold and antipyretic medicine."
Kuroba Kaito was choked, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the backpack carried by Ye Gengyi.
...Gan, I was careless.
"Brother, since you brought medicine, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Ye Gengyi's eyes widened: "So, what do you think I am doing by coming to your room at this time?"
As he said that, he threw the entire backpack to Kuroba Kaito, "I suspect there is something wrong with the suspension bridge, and I'm going to go out and take a look."
"Do you need me..."
"No need," Ye Gengyi summoned the electric shock gloves and put them on: "On this mountain road with a radius of dozens of miles, there is only one villa here where you can stay. If someone is really causing trouble, it is most likely to be a member of the chat group. You Keep an eye on the inside while I go outside."
"Brother, be careful, there is a magic show to watch when you come back." Kuroba Kaito said.
"Don't set a flag for others casually." Ye Gengyi said, tapping a certain thief's head lightly, without opening the door, he directly opened the window and jumped out.
Kuroba Kaito's room was in the south corner of the second floor of the villa.
Ye Gengyi chose to take a detour here because during the day, Sukama Aohiro was responsible for cleaning the snow in the courtyard.
It was just snowing in the sky now. As long as he moved fast enough, he could make a round trip without leaving any traces.
There are no cables on the road around the mountain, and naturally there are no street lights.
Since I didn't carry a flashlight, although Ye Xiaobai helped with the fill-in light processing, most of the areas beyond the visual range were still pitch black.
Ye Gengyi first walked around the perimeter of the villa to confirm that there were no ambushers, and then rushed towards the suspension bridge.
Soon, he smelled the smell of burnt wood.
Then he saw that the suspension bridge connecting the two cliffs had disappeared without a trace.
"Hmm... It seems that the entire suspension bridge fell after the fixed ropes burned." Ye Gengyi stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, and sure enough, the fire was no longer visible.
On the nearby snow, you can still vaguely see the footprints left by Conan after running wildly, but there is no trace of a certain tool man on the other side of the cliff.
Of course Ye Gengyi would not think that Maori Kogoro had accidentally fallen off the cliff and happened to pick up martial arts secrets or something.
Since there was no trace of him here, he naturally went to call the police.
The information obtained was limited, and some details still needed to be worked out. Considering that the villa could not be missing for too long, Ye Gengyi turned around and returned without hesitation.
On the other side, several people also used magic to choose the next new division of labor.
Wait until Ye Gengyi quietly comes to the living room from the back door.
He happened to meet Hamano Toshiya who looked puzzled.
"Hey, Mr. Gengyi, is your stomach feeling better?" Behind him, Kuroba Kaito hurriedly confessed.
"It's okay." Ye Gengyi said calmly, "Did I miss something?"
"Mr. Hamano... no, it's our banquet director. He just performed a very wonderful magic trick." Sonoko said with a smile: "Brother Gengichi, it's a pity that you didn't see it."
"Oh? That's a pity. Have you assigned the task?" Ye Geng paused, "What do you need me to do?"
"No, it seems I need to think about the next magic show." Hamano Tori waved his hand and hurriedly walked upstairs.
The card-guessing magic he performed before not only required the cooperation of two people, but also the cards with names written on them needed to be prepared in advance. If Ye Gengyi got interested in that magic and had to participate again, then he would It's a shame.
While they were talking, Tanaka Takahisa and Arayoshi Norori also left the room one after another.
Ye Gengyi couldn't help but frowned when he saw the three people in a hurry.
Tell them directly about the burning of the suspension bridge to prevent them from acting alone?
no...
Before you know how many people are on the other side, doing this will only alert the enemy.
Moreover, even if the banquet was temporarily stopped, the fact that the suspension bridge was burned down could not be changed. Driven by a sense of luck, before the accident, Ye Gengyi was not sure that he could make these people hold hands with just one word. Sleep and stay up until dawn together.
As for the faint smell of gasoline on Tanaka Takakie's body, it is the most reliable evidence so far.
"Want to do the trick of no one surviving?"
Ye Gengyi looked at the empty wine glass on the table, thoughtfully.
If it were him, poisoning would indeed be a more convenient method.
"Well... otherwise Mr. Doi Tower and Miss Sonoko go upstairs to check on the child's condition," Naoko Kuroda blushed and arranged: "As for Mr. Saraichi, can you please set the tableware with me? ?”
"Okay, I have no problem." Kuroba Kaito, eager for adult beauty, agreed decisively.
Ye Geng nodded. It happened that he was the most suitable person to confirm the safety of food and tableware. As for Conan upstairs, these undead people who were wandering between events gathered together, wondering and knowing what would happen.
In this way, as the food and wine were served, the separated team members gradually returned to the living room.
Tanaka Takakue started the conversation and started talking about the grievances between the Escape King and the Shadow Mage.
There was no hint of knowledge on her face that the suspension bridge had been destroyed.
Until Conan ran downstairs out of breath and told everyone about the broadcast and the murder of the escape king.
The snow suddenly stopped and the air became colder.
When everyone felt something was wrong and ran to Hamano Riya's room, it was too late.
He saw Hamano Toshiya lying upright on the snow more than ten feet away from the villa, with no trace of human trampling around him.
