Saturday, April 3rd, evening, Kotoya Ryokan in Yamagata Prefecture.

The sun sets early in the mountains, and the crescent moon hides in the clouds before it comes out, but the stars come out in other directions.

After soaking in the hot springs, Yamazaki and Midako had dinner together, a Yonezawa carp course, a Yamagata three-yuan dolphin course, plus their own Yonezawa beef, iron plate, sashimi, and scalded shabu.

Talking about things in the middle cocoon game, the dinner is solved before you know it.

After changing to tea after dinner and fighting video games for a while, Lan and the others came back, except for Lan, everyone else seemed to be in a good mood.

And the reason why Lan is unhappy, you don't need to ask, just look at Maoli, who is holding two big crab claws and has entered a state of drunkenness.

However, after sending Maori to his room, only the Junior Detective Corps remained, and Ran, Sonoko, and Dr. Asa left.

Over there, writer Kei Chi is discussing the role of the script with Hantokyichi, Hoda Yoriko, Shibasaki Asuka, Eima Ansai, and Fukatsu Harumi, and Mori, Ran, Sonoko, Dr. Asasa, and the Junior Detective Group have all set a small supporting role, which is tentatively scheduled to be a ticket-style compulsory performance.

The Junior Detective Group can't interject about the characters, and the three of Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi don't understand well and come back when they get bored, while Conan and Ash are not interested in this in the first place.

The arrival of the Junior Detective Corps increased the number of people playing the game to seven, but Conan was quickly kicked down, and it was really unaccomplished to bully someone who couldn't play at all.

Conan was speechless, with a pair of resentful triangular eyes, and turned his back to everyone to watch TV. ……

As supper time approached, Yamazaki saw that the snow outside didn't know when it would stop, so he asked the Junior Detectives to inform Dr. Asa and invite them to a barbecue, and then went with Midako to borrow a spice oven from the inn and buy some pine charcoal.

Set up an oven on the snow in the garden, and eat barbecue in the breeze mixed with the snow and the stars under the crescent moon.

While eating beef, Akechi Eiri, Hantokyichi, Yoriko Hoda, Asuka Shibasaki, Ema Anzai, and Harumi Fukatsu were also impressed by Yamazaki and Midaiko, who provided beef, and as soon as they ate it, they knew that it was the best beef of the fifth grade and above the eighth grade, and this grade of Yonezawa beef was not cheap.

During supper, Ranhe Sonoko approached Yamazaki and Midako to discuss a trip to Europe during the summer vacation.

Sonoko said: "Mr. Banto, what they mean when they ask me to play a role, I understand, is to pull sponsorship. ”

"And what do you think?" asked Midaiko.

"Since Ms. Asuka has a modeling job in Paris, Mr. Bando decided to go to Europe to get some locations," Sonoko said, "Aren't we going to Europe for the summer vacation? ”

"I'm nothing, anyway, I don't plan to act, I'll just go to Xila to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Mei Daiko said.

"Don't forget, our school's baseball team is fighting to get into Koshien as well, and if they do, we're embarrassed not to cheer, aren't we?" Yamazaki asked rhetorically.

"That's right. Lan smiled, "This is a must-go." ”

"So, I think so," Yamazaki said with a smile, "Yuanzi, you should still use this incident as a ticket, whether it is investing in TV dramas or being an actor, just have fun, you don't have to rush at this time." ”

"That's it. The garden puffed out unwillingly.

"Okay, then let me ask you, how much money can you put up on this investment yourself," Yamazaki asked, "Have you thought about the possibility of investment failure?"

"This ......," said the gardener.

"Of course, you don't care about this money, and failure is nothing, but the problem is that you didn't think it through before investing, and it wasn't a matter of investigative consideration, and this failure was not a matter of decision-making errors, but a fundamental problem," Yamazaki said. ”

Yuanzi imagined that he was being chased by a group of people to read, and couldn't help but shudder, "Okay, let's leave this matter to my sister to deal with, the venture capital has a special evaluation team." Then he danced and shouted, "Ah, I'm in a bad mood, I'm going to have a big meal." ”

Lan cried and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's late, be careful not to digest, and you can't sleep at night." ”

"Also, I'm not Mei Daizi. Yuan Zi smiled.

Mei Daizi protested, "Hey, it's not me who preaches you. ”

"You're a family anyway. Yuan Zi smiled.

Mei Daiko was speechless, Yamazaki could only shake his head and smile bitterly, it is a woman's prerogative to be unreasonable. ……

The next day, Sunday, April 4th, morning, Kotoya Ryokan in Yamagata Prefecture, light snow.

Mori and his entourage gathered their equipment and went skiing in the mountains, along with Ei Akechi, Hantokaichi, Yoriko Hoda, Asuka Shibasaki, Ema Anzai, and Harumi Fukatsu.

Speaking of which, where there are no mountain bikes, skiing is also a physical job, because you have to climb up the mountain before you can descend.

Hantokaichi, Yoriko Hoda, Asuka Shibasaki, and Ema Anzai went to the intermediate area, while Eiri Akechi and Harumi Fukatsu followed the Mori group and were in the junior area together, not so much skiing as playing in the snow.

When Dr. Asa accompanies the five members of the Junior Detective Group to make a snowman, Wise Ei, Harumi Fukatsu, Mori, Ran, Sonoko, Maidiko, and Yamazaki are chatting, and it is mainly Wise Ei and Sonoko who are talking.

The topic talked about a story in the book of Wise Eiri, who said that it was actually a legend taken from this place and then took everyone to a nearby shrine.

Legend has it that a villager rescued a caravan that had been shipwrecked, and when the merchant saw that the villager had a daughter, he gave her some gorgeous kimonos as a wedding dress. ”

The villager's daughter showed off to her peers, which aroused the jealousy of the two daughters of the village chief, and they encouraged the village chief to be a villager. ”

The village chief simply reported to the lord that the villagers had collaborated with the enemy, and the lord was furious and killed all the villagers, and gave their belongings to the village chief as a reward. ”

Not long after, the village chief's two daughters were about to get married, but they both died on the night of the wedding. ”

"One was killed by a fall on a table corner after stepping on a virozen, and the other was a drowning that fell into a hot spring and sank to the bottom of the water because of the kimono sucking up water. ”

And the merchant passed by again and explained the situation to the lord, who found out that he had been deceived and ordered the village chief's family to be executed as well. ”

The villagers all feel that this is the spirit of Zhensleeve, and it is the god of Zhensleeve who is avenging the villagers who died unjustly. ”

As they spoke, the group walked to a shrine, and Akechi said, "The villagers have built this shrine to the god of the Furisode, and while worshipping the god of the Furiso, they are also using the Furiso Prajna curse to take revenge. ”

"Prajna means anger. "Quite an interesting legend. ”

Harumi Fukatsu said, "I heard that if you dress up in the middle of the night and pay homage to the shrine and give a puppet representing the enemy, you can ask the god of furisode to help you take revenge. ”

"Ah, you see, are these two puppets like puppets?" Lan asked, a little scared.

Maori said angrily: "What's there to be afraid of, you just came here, who will curse you?"

"But people are just afraid. Yuan Zi laughed, "Isn't it, Lan?"

"Garden!" Lan was dissatisfied.

Yamazaki diverted the subject, "It's almost time, it's time to go back to lunch." ”……

At noon, Kotoya Inn.

At lunchtime, the wind and snow were getting heavier, and it seemed that skiing was no longer possible, so I had to stay in the hotel's game room and play games such as billiards and shogi.

However, this made Maori happy, and he didn't have to think about which one he would choose between skiing and drinking. ……

After sending the drunk Mori back to the room, Yamazaki and the others played billiards and shogi in the game room, and there were also four people who were Akechi Eiri, Shibasaki Asuka, Anzai Eima, and Fukatsu Harumi, and Hankyo Ichi and Hoda Yoriko were affected by Mori and went back to rest. ……

In the afternoon, Yamazaki and Midaiko go back to their room to pack their things and prepare to go home, only to find that Harumi Fukatsu has also followed.

Midaiko asked, "Miss Harumi, who are you?"

"I," Harumi Fukatsu hesitated, "I want to talk to Mr. Mori about something." ”

"Uncle Maori?" asked Midako, "it can't be an incident, right?"

"Hmm. Harumi Fukatsu nodded.

"Then I'll go with you, I'm interning at my uncle's detective office. Yamazaki said, "If your uncle's wine is not sober, you can tell me, and I will help you convey it to your uncle, of course, if you don't want to, then I won't say it." ”

As they spoke, the three of them went to Maori's room and found that Maori was still calling for a good sleep.

Yamazaki took out a pen and paper, "Miss Harumi, would you like to tell me about it?"

"Good. Harumi Fukatsu sat down and pinched her fingers unconsciously, "I, I would like to ask Mr. Mori to find out about a matter that is a friend of mine, who committed suicide." ”

Midaiko asked, "Do you suspect she was killed?"

Fukatsu Harumi said gloomily: "Sakurako, she jumped off the building in front of the whole school." ”

Midaiko, who knew that she was speechless, stuck out her tongue, "I'm sorry. ”

"That is to say, you suspect that Sakurako-sama was forced to commit suicide," Yamazaki said, "please tell me why." ”

"Our school is a girls' university, and at that time, illegal drugs were secretly prevalent in our school, so Sakurako initiated a report, but it turned out that illegal drugs were found in Sakurako. Harumi Fukatsu said angrily, "Sakurako was definitely framed. ”

"Planting blame, a bad plot in film and television dramas. Midaiko asked, "Do you know who Sakurako-sama reported?"

"Yes," Harumi Fukatsu bit her lip, "it's Asuka Shibasaki, and Ema Anzai." ”

"They?" Yamazaki said, "So, you didn't call the police because you didn't trust the police to help you." ”

"Yes, the police who came to deal with Sakurako's jumping off the building simply determined that Sakurako committed suicide in fear of crime," Harumi Fukatsu's tears came out, "My best friend is gone like fleeting cherry blossoms, and what is left to me is the blood-red cherry blossoms." ”

"By the way. Mei Daiko asked, "You've cursed them with your furrows." Then he asked, "That's you, right?"

"No," Harumi Fukatsu said quickly, "I didn't do that. ”

"You didn't do that?" Yamazaki pondered, "So, it's a coincidence that Asuka-sama-sama, Ema-sama, and you are all here now, and there is also Furisode Prajna." ”

Mei Daiko said, "Yes, if Miss Asuka and Miss Ema are killed, maybe you will be the murderer of Miss Harumi." ”

"Isn't it?" Harumi Fukatsu was surprised.

"But who will kill them?" asked Yamazaki, "Miss Harumi, does Miss Sakurako have any relatives and friends?"

Harumi Fukatsu said: "No, as far as I know, Sakurako and I both died when we were young, so we shared the same fate, and we became good friends, except for me, I can't think of Sakurako any other good friends." ”

"Both parents died when I was a child?" Yamazaki asked, "and forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, how did you get your living expenses and tuition fees?"

"I was adopted by my uncle after that, Sakurako," Harumi Fukatsu frowned and thought again, "I really can't remember, but I asked tentatively, but Sakurako doesn't seem to be short of money, I guess it may be that her parents bought a high amount of insurance before they died." ”

"Okay, that's going to be put aside for now. Yamazaki said, then glanced at Maori, who was still snoring, and said helplessly, "I will convey this matter to Uncle Maori as soon as possible." ”……
