Conan crouched in a shallow part of the hot springs, with a small waterfall above his head.

Jump into the hot springs at night and swim towards Conan.

"You just went out?" Conan asked, looking at the night with some uncertainty.

"You're spying on me!" night glared.

"Oh, I was a little uncertain just now, but now it's certain. Normally, if you weren't outside all the time being blown by the wind and snow, your face wouldn't be so red. The inn is fenced off and the wind is not very strong. Close to the hot springs, the temperature wasn't that low. And most importantly, Sister Xiaolan told me that you haven't come out of the house all this time, which is a bit too unbelievable. Conan said with a serious analysis.

Night: "......"

I feel offended.

Female soup

After Xiaolan finished feeding the rabbits, she thought about soaking them, but unfortunately a small wooden board was hung in front of the door, and the female soup had already been wrapped, and it didn't end until half past ten. Shaking his head regretfully, it seems that this time can only be passed by petting rabbits.

In the female bath, Asuka Shibasaki sits opposite a person hidden in the shadows.

"Do you remember Sakurako?"

At this time, Conan, who was in the male soup next door, got up and wanted to go out for convenience, and he was a little anxious to urinate.

Shibasaki Asuka's pupils shrank: "What Sakura? Among the people I know, there are too many people named Sakurako." ”

The man in the dark shadow continued to himself: "I'm actually Sakurako's sister, my cowardly sister, the first thing I thought about when something happened was to escape, and it was this way. You didn't expect my cowardly sister to choose to kill herself, don't be nervous, I didn't come today to take revenge on you, although I wanted to do this at first, and made a perfect plan, but something happened today that changed my mind. ”

Asuka Shibasaki, who is deep in the hot spring, is cold, and her body is obviously in the hot spring, but the feeling she can give is the same as being in a snow cave.

"What are you doing, I don't know what you're talking about!What Sakurako, what suicide, what does it have to do with me!" Shibasaki Asuka was a little confused, and she couldn't keep up with her thoughts when she spoke.

"No, you know, you must know. I asked you to come here today just to hear you say I'm sorry. Say sorry for Sakurako's matter, just say a word. The man in the dark shadow was not so indifferent and mechanical, and there was a little more pleading in his tone.

"Yes... Nope."

At this time, the male soup next door, Conan, who had finished going to the toilet, trotted all the way and slipped into the hot spring.

"Up?" Shibasaki Asuka's face turned completely gloomy.

"No kidding! Why should I apologize. The stupidest thing your sister did was get me to turn myself in, and you're as stupid as your sister is to make me apologize. Please, who would apologize for someone who has been dead for so long. Justice also needs to have capital, and not everyone can casually run out to uphold justice. ”

When she first heard that the other party said that she was Sakurako's sister, she did have a panic and was afraid, which is human nature. But soon she calmed down, these things were already old things, and there was no way to investigate them. And even if some clues are found, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, with the financial resources of the consortium behind them, they can be bailed out soon.

"Is that so, I see. ”

Men's soup

Night and Conan sit in a row at the foot of the waterfall.

Night: "The female soup next door to Conan seems to be a little noisy, should we climb over and have a look." ”

"You'd better sit honestly, or I'll definitely talk to Sister Xiaolan. Conan rolled his eyes, sitting under the waterfall, the water was so loud, you told me that you heard the noise next door... The old color is approved, and it's not the first day we met, everyone knows the roots, and what to pretend.

"I'm serious. Night retorted.

Half past ten in the evening

Night and Conan blushed slightly, but the two of them had been soaked for too long, and they hadn't recovered yet.

Xiaolan was a little miserable, and she hadn't gone in until now. Fortunately, there was a warm rabbit in his arms, and he took the carrot from the kitchen and put it next to the rabbit's mouth, let it gnaw on it slowly, and he stroked the rabbit's hair from time to time.

During this time, Xiaolan has asked all the people who should be asked, and no one knows this rabbit, but the innkeeper said that he could help cook this rabbit for free, but unfortunately Xiaolan refused.

The boss glanced at the rabbit with regretful eyes, and the frightened rabbit trembled all over, deeply aware of the evil of human nature.

It's a pity that such a fat rabbit is not used to make soup.

The innkeeper: "The dinner is about to begin, you can already go to the living room and wait, I'll go and call the other guests, and when everyone arrives, we can start." ”

Xiaolan responded: "Well, okay." ”

Five minutes later, everyone came to the living room one after another, and the uncle who was left in the hot spring pool heard that there was a drink to drink, so he staggered up and followed.

Seeing that everyone was basically the same, the innkeeper counted the number of people again and found that there were two less.

The two lesser are

The innkeeper said to the proprietress beside him: "You go to the women's soup to see if they are there, they were not there when I went upstairs to call people down, I guess they may be in the women's soup." ”

The proprietress nodded with satisfaction and walked slowly towards the female soup. Soon, the proprietress ran back in a panic.

Hotel owner: "Did something happen?"

The proprietress said: "I can't open the door of the female soup, and no one answers the door, and I picked it up at the door of the female soup!"

As he spoke, he took out a man in a long-sleeved kimono with a slightly trembling hand, and the paper figure still had a mask on his face.

A kind of ghost in Japanese folklore, or more precisely, a kind of evil spirit, which is said to be formed by a woman's strong jealousy and resentment.

It's a big difference from the story of that legend, but there are some similarities.

At such a time, it is difficult to reassure people when such a terrifying doll appears. The two missing young ladies are now very likely to be in danger.

The innkeeper immediately brought everyone to the women's soup, the door of the women's soup was still closed from the inside, the innkeeper pulled hard a few times and didn't open it, and there was no response when he knocked on the door.

There is no other way but to tear down the door.

At night, while everyone was still in the women's bath, he secretly ran to the men's bath next door, and Uncle Maori had already climbed to the edge of the hot spring at this moment. Most of his body is outside the hot spring, and only one long-haired thigh is still in the hot spring. People are still unconscious.

Night speculated that Uncle Maori should have felt that it was too hot in the hot spring and couldn't bear it, so he climbed up by himself.
