A hotel-style villa nestled in the middle of a mountain wood, well hidden by the snow, and would not have been found from the outside if it had not been turned out of the woods. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Welcome, you're a disciple of the Magician, right? We're all waiting for you. ”

After coming to the door of the villa, the garden went to knock on the door, and the door was opened by a man in his forties, with a head hanging from the corner of his eyes.

"Huh? Why do you know that I am a disciple of the Magician? Yuan, who wanted to surprise them, was immediately deflated and asked a little unwillingly.

"Oh, just look at your words," Yuanzi's frustrated expression made the man quickly wave his hand, and smiled kindly, "The young man's words are still obvious compared to us old guys...... Right, guys? ”

As the man stepped aside, Yuan Zi realized that there were several people behind him, two men and two women, who teased Yuan Zi for pretending to be a man for a while before introducing themselves.

Naoko Kuroda, a phantom with glasses and tied hair, Toshiya Pani Hamano with curly hair and a long face and a pointed nose, Takahisa Tanaka, a boy with curly hair, and the man who opened the door, and the silent ventriloquist Araki Yoshinori, who is also the owner of this villa, and finally the young man with a mushroom head and a thin face is called Kiyoshiro Sukama, who was hired to work.

"Hey, may I ask Mr. Keshu...... Haven't the red herring arrived yet? ”

The garden that returned the salute one by one looked left and right, and she didn't find that person, she asked Arabia, and when she heard the words, Absurdity smiled and compared the stairs behind her: "He?" On the second floor...... Ah, it's down. ”

There was a clatter of stairs from top to bottom, and as soon as you heard it, you could tell that someone was coming down. Wensheng Yuanzi's eyes lit up suddenly, and his expectant gaze was firmly fixed on the staircase, but he ......

"Ah, you're a disciple of the Magician? I'm Doi Tucker Tree. You're really a girl, I'm really touched~"

The fat face of the flesh, the unilateral bulging figure caused by the lack of exercise, the look of a fool who can't match the Prince Charming in Sonoko's mind, and the disillusioned Sonoko face is full of disappointment, but Doi and the others seem to be immersed in the excitement of the party, and they don't notice her loveless expression.

"By the way, may I ask you ......?"

At this time, he found that there was still a person standing outside the door, and asked Xiao Wulang and Xiao Lan, who had been left out for a while, and Xiao Lan, who had been left out in the cold for a while, replied: "Ah, hello, I am Mao Lilan who came to the appointment with her at the invitation of the garden." ”

"I'm Xiaolan's father......" Kogoro, who had long been uncomfortable with the cold wind blowing outside for so long, replied nonchalantly.

"I'm slacking, please come into the house first......"

Sensing Kogoro's mood, Abaya quickly turned sideways and made a gesture for them to enter the house, Xiaolan, who smiled and nodded, was about to enter, and Kogoro, who coughed twice behind him, took two steps forward and lifted his collar.

"No, but I think you should know... Don't hit my daughter's idea! ”

"Daddy!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lan came out like this, Xiao Lan quickly pulled Xiao Goro's hand, and the whole person was still in a state of confusion after inexplicably eating a threat, and Conan, who felt that the situation was not quite the same as he imagined, pulled the corner of Xiao Goro's clothes: "Uncle, can't I stay together?" ”

"Hmph,"

Kogoro glanced back at Conan, "Stupid, a little ghost with a cold still dares to say, go back and have a good rest!" ”

So Kogoro, who was carrying Conan, said goodbye to the people in the villa, turned around and returned to the parking lot, shoved Conan into the car, started the engine and drove down the mountain.

"Really, is it okay to let Sister Xiaolan stay there alone?"

Conan's dead fish eyes, which were forcibly taken away, have never been canceled, and he slanted his gaze to Kogoro with a cigarette in his mouth and asked, after hearing Conan's words, Kogoro, who spit out a puff of smoke, replied indifferently: "Don't worry, I'll let go of the cruel words." If something really happens, Xiaolan will also do karate...... And,"

Suddenly, his expression changed to that of Kogoro, who looked obscene, and whistled with a look of anticipation: "We have a New Year's party in the tavern there tonight~ The verbose Xiaolan is not here, I can fly freely~"

"Alas, this is the truth......" Conan, who had long seen through the nature of this guy, complained in his heart.

"By the way, uncle, what are I going to have for dinner at night?"

"Hmm..."

Kogoro, who thought about it for a while, replied, "I'll get you some porridge, or just send you to Chiri's, you often go to live with her anyway, and there is a family doctor in the family...... That's it! ”

"Hey, what's the deal with this tone of wanting to shake off the oil bottle......" Conan's eyes were already rolling to the sky.

Just as the two were talking, the sound on the car radio suddenly stopped, and after a while, the voice came again, but the content was different from before: "Now a real-time rolling news is broadcasting, and a body that was killed by a blow to the head was found in an apartment in Kakudo Town, the deceased was 41-year-old Nishiyama Takeshi, and the body was found by the deceased's mother who came to clean the room." ”

"There was a message on the computer screen in front of the deceased: This is the first person...... Shadow Mage, it's unclear what this enigmatic text refers to. ”

"And the deceased was originally going to attend the offline gathering of the Magic Lovers Alliance today, but I didn't expect such a tragedy to happen......"

“？！”

The two of them, who didn't react at first, stiffened their faces when they heard the announcer's last sentence, and Kogoro muttered with some uncertainty: "Is it possible...... Is it the one that Xiaolan and the others participated in? ”

"Uncle, turn back, quick!" Conan, who was concerned about Xiaolan's safety, couldn't care about his uncomfortable throat, and shouted and pulled Kogoro out of his surprise.

The moving sedan flicked its tail suddenly, and quickly turned to the opposite direction and sped at a speed, but fortunately there were no vehicles on the mountain road, otherwise something might have gone wrong.

"Uncle! Can't be faster! ”

"Shut up! It's too dangerous to go any faster! ”

Even though the snow has cleared from the trail, there is still a thin layer of frost on the top, and if you want to run as you like without snow, the consequences will be very sour. Fortunately, Kogoro was not carried away and controlled the speed of the car well at a critical point that was fast and did not let the wheels slip out of control.

"Huh?"

After turning a corner, I saw a straight black smoke rising from the direction of the villa from a distance, and the two people in the car shouted in their hearts.

"Suspension Bridge...... It's on fire! But there's only one way to that villa! ”

The two people who rushed to the parking lot abandoned the car and ran, and when they came to the suspension bridge, the two were shocked to find that the black smoke just now was emitted from the suspension bridge that was burning with raging flames.

"Damn, I smelled when I crossed the bridge just now...... It's fuel! ”
