"It doesn't matter. Yamazaki said.

"Well, the fire is up. Yuan Zi smiled, "Let's play with this." As he spoke, he took a box and came out, "This is what we found when we went to the storeroom to get firewood, so it should be fun to play with the teacher." ”

Looking at the bell, Misato Nakamura asked, "What's the matter, why hasn't Mr. Seiyama come over yet?"

"Well," said Shimoda, "I'll look for them when I'm sending them away." ”

"It's fine. Yonehara said.

"I don't think I can leave for the time being. "It's snowing heavily, and it's almost half a tire high. ”

Everyone ran to the window and opened the curtains to see that large snowflakes were flying in the wind, the visibility was very low, and the trees more than 20 meters away outside the villa were no longer visible, and the snow on the ground made the road disappear.

"Mori-san, Sonoko-san, Yamazaki-san, and Midaiko, I think you will live here today. Yonehara said.

"No, I've already called, and the car that picked us up will arrive here around 7:30 p.m. Yamazaki said, "Yonehara-sensei, you'd better come with us, in case the wires are damaged by heavy snow, it will be troublesome." ”

Misato Nakamura said, "Isn't there a fireplace? I don't think it's safe on the road in this kind of weather." ”

"Then let's wait for the car to come. Yamazaki said.

"Anyway, let's prepare dinner first. Yonehara said, then smiled, "By the way, Midaiko, you can just take it." ”

"Actually, the weather is not bad. Mei Daiko smiled.

Lan said in surprise, "You don't want to go out, do you?"

"Of course, there's nothing for me to eat here. Mei Daiko said.

"No, I see a lot of stuff in the kitchen. Misato Nakamura said, "It's definitely enough for us to eat." ”

"Mei Daiko eats meat as her main diet," Mihara Akiko whispered, "I used to need five or six kilograms of meat for a meal, but now I'm afraid it's more." ”

"So many?" asked Misato Nakamura in a low voice, "Is there anything ......?"

"Mei Daiko's mother said that it was not a disease, but just to meet the energy needed by Mei Daiko's body. Yonehara Akiko whispered.

"I see. "But the weather is too dangerous. ”

Yuan Zi asked, "And in this snowstorm, how can there be anything outside?"

"It's a lot, but what comes into it, in short, you just wait. Mei Daizi smiled a little excitedly, "Brother, let's go." ”

"You go and get the utensils ready. Yamazaki said, "Yonehara-sensei, come with me, I have something to tell you." With that, he left the living room.

"What's the matter?" Akiko Yonehara followed.

A moment later, Yamazaki led Yonehara to a suite on the first floor and closed the door.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the room, Yonehara asked, "What's wrong here?"

"The problem is soaking in the bathtub. Yamazaki said, "Teacher, if you must want to, then please do it again, but it will last a few more minutes." If you don't want to, take him with you that night. ”

"What?" Yonehara was taken aback.

Yamazaki said, "Also, there are a lot of times when that doesn't solve the problem. With that, he went out and closed the door.

Outside the door.

Yamazaki looked at Conan, who was about to touch a few steps away, because he suddenly came out and was at a loss, and said with a smile: "If you want to fix something, I can arrange one for you, such as a satellite dish outside." ”

At this time, Lan's voice came, "Conan, where are you, come with me to wash the dishes." ”

"No, no. Conan laughed dryly, "Lan called me for help." With that, he ran away. ……

4:50 p.m., villa kitchen.

Lan noticed that Akiko Yonehara's eyes were red, so he asked.

"It's okay, some dust just fell in. Yonehara smiled, then asked, "Where are you now?"

"It just so happens that you're looking at the curry on the stove here, and Conan and I are going to the living room to set the dishes. Lan smiled, "There is a little problem with the fire of this gas stove, and Mr. Nakamura and Sonoko went to see the gas switch." ”

"Okay, I got it. Yonehara said, then asked with a smile, "By the way, what about the two ski instructors?"

"The two teachers are chopping wood. Lan smiled, "Yamazaki said he wanted to bake something." ”……

At about 5:40 in the evening, Yamazaki and Midaiko returned with snow covered in snow and a bloody bag.

"What is this?" asked the garden.

"Four snakes, three pheasants, two hedgehogs, and a rabbit, but unfortunately there is no time to find a nest. Mei Daiko smiled.

"How do you eat a hedgehog?" Lan asked.

"Soup. Mei Daizi asked, "By the way, there are four snake gall bladders here, which of you wants to eat them?"

Ranhe Sonoko immediately shook his head and refused, and Yonehara Akiko, Nakamura Misato, Sakai Ryuichi, and Shimoda Kohei swallowed one each.

After a few moments, dinner began, and the first course was a do-it-yourself roast of the snake over the fireplace. ……

At seven o'clock in the evening, just after tidying up the tableware, the deafening engine sound penetrated the wind and snow and came in, everyone walked to the window and looked out, the car, to be exact, the convoy came, two snow plows side by side, a total length of more than ten meters, the front of the car looked very hideous six-wheeled heavy carriage trailer followed, and two motorcycles followed.

"There are no ravines here, and this car will definitely get us out safely. Yamazaki laughed.

"Definitely. Misato Nakamura smiled, "Then we'll borrow it." ”

At this time, a woman in a black coat and a black hat got out of the carriage and walked towards the villa with two motorcyclists. Looking at the figures, the two motorcyclists are also women.

Porch.

The three of them took off their hats and said in the lead: "Good evening, Yamazaki, sir, Miss Midaiko, I am Oda Nobue of Ishimine Protection, this is Oda Sakurako, Oda Haruko, we were ordered to come and take you back to the city." ”

"You've worked hard," Yamazaki laughed, "thank you." Then he said, "Mei Daizi, you take them to the car first, and I'll go and take the reporter." By the way, Mr. Yonehara, please inspect the villa and close the one that should be closed. ”

"No problem. Yonehara said.

"I'll help you too. Misato Nakamura said.

Yonehara Akiko smiled: "No need, I remember this kind of thing by myself." ”

"I see there is a car outside, please give me the car keys. Oda Nobue said, "I'll have someone drive back for you." ”

"Then please, thank you. Shimoda handed over the car keys. ……

Soon after, when Yamazaki came with Atsushi Mori, who was still not awake, Midaiko, Sonoko, Ran, Conan, Misato Nakamura, Ryuichi Sakai, and Kohei Shimoda all left the villa.

"I'll come, great, sir. "Nobue Oda took over Atsushi Mori from Yamazaki.

"Yes, you will call me Mr. in the mission in the future. Yamazaki chuckled.

"I've seen you, sir. Oda Sakurako and Oda Haruko saluted.

"This man's car is thirty-five meters east of the villa, and you have someone drive him back. "He was knocked unconscious, and he was not used for any other treatment." ”

"Yes, I see. Oda Nobue said, and then said, "Sakurako, this person is handed over to you." ”

"Yes, miss. Sakurako Oda took Atsushi Mori and left.

Yamazaki said: "There was also a person on the bed in the suite on the first floor, who was strangled after falling unconscious, but instead of being strangled, he almost froze to death, so he was taken to the hospital in the car outside. Then he looked at Yonehara and asked, "Teacher, have you figured out what to say?"

Yonehara was silent for a moment, then asked, "How do you know I didn't kill him?"

"I've been to see it. "You put him on the bed." ”

Yonehara said, "When he wakes up, I'll go and explain it to the police." ”

"If that's the case, I'd suggest that you give it up yourself. Nobue Oda said, "Active abandonment and passive attempt are two different concepts. ”

Akiko Yonehara said: "No, I did it, and I have to take my due responsibility." ”

"The problem is that I don't want to take responsibility for saving him. Yamazaki smiled, "So, teacher, please help me take on it." ”

Yonehara Koko was silent for a moment and sighed, "Okay then, thank you." ”

"You're welcome. Yamazaki said, "Teacher, you probably won't stay at Kabido Elementary School in the future, right? ”

Yonehara asked, "Don't you even ask me why this murderer wants to kill, do you dare me to teach?"

"I believe in the motivation of the teacher. Yamazaki laughed.

"Thank you. Yonehara Akiko said with some emotion, then thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about this later." ”

"Of course. Yamazaki asked, "So, can we go?"

"That's it. Yonehara said. ……
