The next day, 5:30.
Except for Mouri Kogoro who was lying in bed, everyone arrived at the appointment on time and gathered in the lobby.
Tono Mizuki, who also woke up early, prepared warm ginger tea for everyone.
While chatting, she also expressed her apology for the circuit failure:
"I'm really sorry. I woke up at 5 o'clock and discovered that the transformer box in the yard had fallen down. Didn't it cause any trouble to everyone at night?"
"No."
Dr. A Li smiled and waved his hand, but before he finished speaking, he was startled. He turned to look at Ye Gengyi, who often stayed up late. After confirming that the other party had nothing to add, he continued:
"Because we plan to watch the sunrise today, we rest early."
"I went to bed at 0 o'clock, and the power outage probably happened after that." Ye Gengyi said.
"That's good……"
Tono Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief, but still explained: "Today is the day of the celebration. Some people in the store stayed nearby in the camping area. If there is any inconsiderate service, please forgive me."
"It's fine."
"It doesn't matter."
"I think it's great here..."
Everyone said they didn't care about it.
After drinking the ginger tea, I opened the door and walked out of the hotel, feeling the coldness hitting my face.
Not many steps.
A certain wealthy and fun-loving daughter of the Suzuki Foundation began to have opinions about getting up early.
She complained, "Why do I have to suffer like this just to watch the sunrise?" She completely forgot that she was the one who shouted the loudest when she suggested watching the sunrise last night.
…
The whole village was shrouded in thin mist.
Looking around, you can see stars and white frost falling from the gray sky, delicately dotting the hazy beauty before sunrise.
Conan, who was ready to investigate secretly and surprise everyone, walked alone at the end of the team.
He had already seen that the guy from Haiyuan was entrusted by Brother Gengyi, and he obviously didn't want to risk himself in launching an investigation.
...Is it okay to be a detective? How could it be possible to sit idly by and ignore it!
However, when he returned to the case, there were still many doubts that puzzled him.
If the prisoner is really Takehiko Muto, then judging from the trajectory of the shoe prints, it is impossible for him to be in the cabin in the back mountain at that time. Instead, he ran to the snowfield in advance to wait. After the murder was completed, he walked backwards to the lake and left the scene... …
However, the problem becomes more complicated.
Considering the relationship between Hikawa Shogo and Muto Takehiko, what kind of reasons did they use to make an appointment to go to sparsely populated lakeside and snowfields?
Could it be that the two of them were the gangsters who tried to blow up the Toto Line in the Shin-Yanote Tunnel? Why are all the dissatisfaction over the reservoir and village relocation just an act?
But what about the purpose? For what reason did he insist on killing Hikawa Shogo? I always feel like things can't end here...
"Eh? That's weird..."
At this time, Mitsuhiko, who was running at the front of the team, suddenly said with some uncertainty in one direction, "That person seems to be Touma."
Walking in the middle of the team, Ye Gengyi, who was discussing academic issues with Dr. A Li, heard this and quickened his pace slightly to follow.
As expected, he saw Tachihara Fuyuma kneeling in front of a very simple grave bag.
"Is that...Xiao Hei's grave?"
Ye Geng had a good eye, and before everyone ran over, he had clearly seen the words engraved on the tombstone, and felt a little emotional in his heart:
"The name came from..."
【gentlemen……】
A certain artificial intelligence hesitated to speak.
"I know someone is following us, so don't worry about her for now. Or...is there any movement in the tracker installed on Yamao Keisuke?" Ye Gengyi pretended not to understand.
【not yet……】
Ye Xiaobai continued to speak but hesitated.
"Well, keep monitoring and report back when there is a situation." Ye Gengyi said.
【...Okay, sir...】
Ye Xiaobai hid in resentment.
"Xiao Hei... Is Xiao Hei really dead?"
Here, Tachihara Fuyuma was crying softly, as if he couldn't believe the facts in front of him.
Mao Lilan, Suzuki Yuanzi and the three children surrounded him. Faced with this situation, they didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
Everyone stood aside and waited quietly for a few minutes.
Until a somewhat panicked footsteps came running from a distance.
After Tachihara Fuyumi got up this morning, she went to Fuyuma's room as usual, ready to check on her son, but she saw that the bed was empty.
After searching in the bathroom, living room, and kitchen, and finally finding that the child's shoes were missing at the entrance, her heart skipped several beats.
Fortunately...fortunately nothing happened.
Tachihara Fuyumi had mixed feelings, rushed up to grab the winter horse, and shouted a little out of control: "You kid! How could you run out without saying hello!"
"I...I...I don't know why, why is this!"
Tears burst out of Tachihara Fuyuma's eyes, and all kinds of grievances came out like a flood, "Why did I become like this! I really don't understand, all my friends have become people I don't know, and Xiao Hei is dead. Now, I really don’t know what to do... I don’t know..."
"W-Fuyuma..."
Tachihara Fuyumi felt guilty for a while, and quickly held the child in her arms and comforted her in a low voice.
"In this situation, if you want to return to your old life, you have to adapt slowly." Ye Gengyi analyzed based on the facts.
It is still possible to recover from amnesia, and the 8-year blank period can only be made up for the day after tomorrow.
"Yeah, it's really hard for this kid..."
Dr. A Li was also touched, shook his head and sighed, "Although the body is 15 years old, the inner mind is still 7 years old. It is not easy to understand the current situation."
call!
Another cool breeze blew by.
In just a few seconds, the glimmering ice crystals appeared in front of everyone's eyes along with the rising sun.
"Look! The snow is sparkling!" Ayumi shouted excitedly.
"Oh...this is not snow, but diamond stardust." Dr. Ali said.
"diamond?!"
The three children were surprised, "Does this mean treasure will fall from the sky?"
"Nah."
Conan couldn't help but explain: "This refers to the phenomenon of water vapor in the atmosphere condensing into tiny ice crystals due to low temperatures."
"What, it turns out it's not a treasure..." Genta was a little disappointed.
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko ran to Touma, hoping to change his mood by observing this scene.
However, Tachihara Fuyuma's reaction was a bit different than expected.
He looked horrified, as if he had seen something unbelievable, and he gasped heavily.
By the time everyone realized something was wrong, Tachihara Fuyuma was already kneeling on the ground, covering his head and groaning in pain:
"No! My head hurts so much, my head hurts so much..."
