Saturday, December 27, Toshimaen Ski Resort.

At noon, Sonoko, Ran, Conan, Yamazaki, and Midaiko came here, and after going up the mountain, Midaiko and Yamazaki disappeared.

Not long after skiing, Lan looked around the garden, his attention was obviously not on skiing, and he couldn't help asking, "Garden, what are you doing?"

"Snow White, of course. Yuan Zi laughed, and then sighed, "But why does everyone have a female companion by their side?" ”

"Please, who's going to ski alone. Lan said helplessly.

"I really envy you, you already have a new one. Yuan Zi said sadly, "Like me, I haven't met a wishful person until now." ”

"Garden. Lan shouted comfortingly.

"In that case," said Yuanzi again, "then today's afternoon tea is for you." ”

"Garden!" Lan said with a smile.

At this time, a man's voice came from behind, "Two cute little kittens, if you want, you can skate with us." ”

Yuanzi, Lan, and Conan looked back and saw that they were two men in their thirties.

The man continued to laugh, "We are both ski instructors. ”

"Huh?" said the other man with a dry laugh, "yes, that's right. ”

At this time, two women in their thirties came over, and one of them had long haired and said, "Isn't this Mori-san and Suzuki-san? ”

Sonoko and Ran exclaimed in surprise, "Akiko Yonehara-sensei." ”

Another asked, "What, Yonehara-sensei, do you know them?"

Yonehara Akiko smiled: "The two of them were students I took with me when I was in Didan Elementary School. Then he sighed, "Really, in a blink of an eye, the two of you are now slim." ”

Yuan Zi smiled: "Teacher, you are the same, you are still so beautiful." ”

Another woman laughed teasingly: "No matter how beautiful she is, she is still an older woman who has missed the marriageable age." ”

"I want you to be verbose. Yonehara laughed, "And you're not the same." ”

"How can there be no object?" Lan smiled, "Aren't there two excellent ski instructors here?"

"Ski instructor?" said Yonehara, looking at the two blushing men, "So you two are ski instructors." ”

At this time, Mei Daizi's loud laughter came, "Get out of the way, the bowling ball is coming." ”

Sonoko, Ran, and Conan followed the prestige, and a large snowball with a diameter of one person was rolling towards everyone, and Mei Daiko seemed to be pushing behind, and Yamazaki was behind her.

"Mei Daiko!" The garden that bore the brunt of the attack was knocked down by a snowball after only one shout, and the other six people including Lan and Conan were also knocked down before they could dodge, and then the snowball shattered and buried them.

With a wave of her hand, sweeping away the oncoming snow and dust, Mei Daiko said to the four Mihara Koko in the snow: "Four, I'm very sorry, but I couldn't stop at that time." ”

Lan sat up from the snow, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

"Playing in the snow. Mei Daiko smiled.

Yuanzi, who was lying in the snow, wiped the snow from his face and stretched out his hand and shouted, "Damn, Midaiko, pull me up quickly, the skis are too much of a hindrance." ”

"How's that, isn't it fun? Mei Daiko pulled the garden up.

"Let me do it to you, it's fun. Yuan Zi said through gritted teeth.

Conan sat up from the snow and puffed up his triangular eyes, which I asked for.

Yonehara Akiko sat up, "Midaiko-san, I haven't seen you for so long, so you can give this to me as a meeting gift." ”

"Uh," Midaiko asked after a moment's thought, "You're not going to be Yonehara-sensei, are you?" and then laughed dryly, "It's so nice today, even you're skiing, Sensei." ”

Yamazaki pulled Ran and Conan up.

Man A smiled: "Little girl, this greeting gift is really hard to bear." ”

Man B asked, "Mr. Yonehara, is this the problem child you mentioned earlier who knocked over the senior classmate who collected protection money on the first day of school, and sent the senior classmate and his companion to the hospital with his companion for more than three months on the second day?"

Akiko Yonehara smiled, "Yes, I go to the police station and the Metropolitan Police Department to see her much more times than I visit her home." Then he smiled at Midaiko and asked, "Hey, when was the last time you went to the police station?"

"I went to the Metropolitan Police Department again more than a month ago. Yuan Zi smiled.

"Hey, hey," said Midaiko hurriedly, "I caught the bad guys and made a record......

"Hello, Yonehara-sensei. Yamazaki reached out and pulled Yonehara up, then frowned.

"You're," Yonehara said, "that Yamazaki-san who never spoke." ”

The female companion took Yamazaki's outstretched hand and stood up, "Yonehara-sensei remembers that there is a student like you, but he doesn't remember your appearance." I heard that you used to be cold, and she was worried about what would happen to you, but now it seems to be much better. ”

"Thank you for your concern. Yamazaki laughed, then pulled the two men up.

"I've decided," said Sonoko, "and you'll be invited to the afternoon tea." ”

"Didn't I hear you say that you weren't invited by Yuran?" asked Midaiko.

"Now of course it's you. Lan laughed.

"Wait, just now," cried the garden, "well, you won't tell us sooner." ”

"Uh," Mei Daiko said with a dry smile, "I think I'll be pleased." ”

"That's right, let's go, I want the most expensive one. The garden said.

"Go now?" asked Midaiko.

"Why, do you want to come again?" asked the garden, then gritted her teeth and smiled, "Or are you going to let us do it to you?" ”

"That's a good idea. Lan laughed.

"Then go now. Mei Daizi hurriedly said, "It's so good that I'm thirsty." ”

"Yonehara-sensei, come with your friends. The garden said.

Man A said, "I think let's invite it." ”

Man B said, "Yes, how can you students come out." ”

"No, just apologize for what you just did. Mei Daiko said.

"Well, then we're welcome. Yonehara smiled. ……

Soon after, at one o'clock in the afternoon, there was a café in the hotel down the hill.

Yonehara Koko introduced her companions, the female companion is called Misato Nakamura, who is the school doctor at Kabito Elementary School, the man A is called Ryuichi Sakai, who is the physical education teacher of the Kabido Elementary School, and the man B is called Kohei Shimoda, who is now in the fifth year class of the Kabido Elementary School, and there is also Sugiyama, who teaches music, who will come over at two o'clock in the afternoon, and they have rented a villa and are going to play here until tomorrow afternoon.

"Please, please advise. Ryuichi Sakai and Kohei Shimoda said embarrassedly.

Misato Nakamura smiled: "Having said that, I didn't expect you two current elementary school teachers to talk to high school girls, it seems that you are quite young." ”

Yonehara Koko introduced again: "This is Suzuki-san, Maori-san, Yamazaki-san, Miyamoto-san. ”

Lan introduced, "This is Conan. ”

"Miyamoto, Midaiko. Takuichi Sakai thought for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You can't be from Rice Flower Town, uh, the president of the Invincible Bishoujo Club, right?"

"I didn't really pay attention to that. Yonehara asked Midaiko, "What happened when I was in junior high school?"

"Yes. Mei Daizi said, "What did the eldest sister say about fishing, fishing, and what else, uh, I can't remember, and then my mother agreed." ”

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish", from the Chinese Taoist book "Lao Tzu". Yonehara said, "It means to give fish to those in need, and it is better to teach people how to get fish." Now it mostly refers to giving people in need a stable job, so that he can live in peace. ”

"Oh, I try to remember. Mei Daiko nodded and said.

"As much as possible?" said Shimoda with a smile, "You can't blame me if you forget." ”

"Well, isn't it a headache? Yonehara smiled.

"Definitely. Misato Nakamura said with a smile.

At this time, Kohei Shimoda looked at the time, and at 2:05 in the afternoon, "What's the matter, Sugiyama-sensei's movements are really slow this time." ”

"Really. "He's always been punctual. ”

"I guess he was already in the villa we rented. Ryuichi Sakai said, "Pranks are also his hobbies." ”

"I'll give you a call. "Yonehara Koko uses a mobile phone, but it doesn't get through.

"Maybe there's no power. Misato Nakamura said, "Let's go to the villa and have a look." Then he said to the five of Mei Daizi, "Everyone, you can also go to the villa with us." ”

Sonoko and Ran agreed, and Midaiko and Yamazaki also agreed when it was still early. ……

At 2:30 p.m., outside the rented villa.

"Nice big villa. Misato Nakamura asked, "Who rented this?"

Akiko Yonehara said, "It's not me. ”

Ryuichi Sakai said, "It's not me either. ”

Shimoda Kohei said, "Neither do I. ”

"It seems that Mr. Shishan rented it. "Maybe he's in there now." He rang the doorbell, but after waiting for a few minutes, no one answered.

Shimoda asked, "What now?"

"I also have a key here. Ryuichi Sakai took out the key.

"You didn't say that earlier. Yonehara smiled.

"It's like, it's cold outside. Misato Nakamura laughed, then asked, "By the way, how many keys do you have to this villa?"

"I don't know. "I saw it in my own drawer, along with my ski plan. So saying, he opened the door, and when he entered the villa, the others followed.

Porch.

Yonehara said while changing her shoes, "In that case, I also saw this ski plan in a drawer. Then he asked Misato Nakamura, "What about you?"

"Me too. Misato Nakamura said.

"I got a call asking me to rent a car. ”

"Mr. Seyama won't hide in the villa, and then pretend to be a ghost to scare us. Misato Nakamura said.

"No, it won't. Lan said in surprise.

"Don't worry, Sister Lan, there is no one in the villa now. Conan said.

"How do you know?" asked Sonoko.

"On such a cold day, if there were people in the villa, he would definitely turn on the heating and air conditioning. "Then the snow near the pipes will melt, and the ice prisms under the eaves will drip water." ”

"I really didn't see any of these phenomena just now. Misato Nakamura asked, "So where is Mr. Seiyama now?"

"Maybe it's a traffic jam. Ryuichi Sakai said, "Regardless of him, we play ours." ”

Moments later, the villa living room.

Looking at the large fireplace and the luxurious chandelier on the ceiling, Misato Nakamura couldn't help but ask, "Is it necessary for us to rent such a nice villa?"

Takashi Sakai smiled and said, "Then the rent here will be paid by the late Sugiyama-sensei." ”

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Kohei Shimoda smiled, "It seems that our patron Sugiyama-sensei has finally appeared. ”

Misato Nakamura went to the entrance to open the door, and the others followed suit.

However, Koko Yonehara, Misato Nakamura, Ryuichi Sakai, and Kohei Shimoda were all taken aback when they saw the person who came in, a man about forty years old.

Sonoko asked Misato Nakamura, "Who is this person?"

"In Lower Mori Dunz. The man walked in and said, "I'm just a newspaper reporter who was taken care of by them three years ago. ”

Ryuichi Sakai asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course, someone told me that there was going to be an incident here tonight. "I wanted to watch you from inside the car, but it was too cold outside for the air conditioning to work, so I came over to disturb you." With that, he changed his shoes.

Shimoda Kohei said, "You can't ......"

"Otherwise, I would have written, but the teachers at the Kakudo Elementary School had no humanity and left a newspaper reporter in the cold field. "Well, let's get along." So saying, he walked inside.

"Is this a villain?" asked Midaiko to Yonehara.

"Of course it's a villain. "We didn't invite him at all, and we didn't welcome him." ”

"That's right. Midaiko caught up and struck Atsushi Moritsu in the back of the neck from behind with a knife in the surprised gaze of the three of Sonoko, Ran, and Conan, and the four of them, Yonehara Koko, Nakamura Misato, Ryuichi Sakai, and Shimoda Kohei.

Atsushi Mori, who had been walking well, fell straight forward, and was then held by Yamazaki's outstretched hand.

"Teacher, it's good to find a room for him now. Mei Daiko smiled, "This guy has to sleep at least until the night and get up tomorrow so that no one bothers you." ”

Misato Nakamura came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Yonehara-sensei, it seems that you had a really hard time at that time. ”……
