It turned out that this Ms. Koko Yonehara, as well as Kohei Shimoda and Ryuichi Sakai, who came to talk to her before, are all colleagues who are now teachers at Kabido Elementary School.

In addition to them, there is another young female teacher in the lounge today, Ms. Minori Nakamura.

These 4 people came here for a vacation.

In addition to skiing, they also rented a snow villa on the snowy mountain in advance, and prepared to hold a party in the villa tonight.

"How?"

"Mr. Lin, are you interested in coming to the party?"

"Everyone gets together to have a good time, and then we drive down the mountain at night, and it's not too late to go back to Tokyo."

That Sakai-sensei seems to be a male fan of Lin Shinichi.

After confirming that the man in front of him was the well-known Lin Administrator, he very warmly invited Lin Xinyi and others to come to the Snow Mountain Villa party in the evening.

And seeing that Mr. Sakai sent an invitation to Lin Shinichi so pretentiously, Yonehara Koko frowned slightly, his eyes were slightly condensed, and his expression became subtle.

But she didn't have time to say anything, the good student she had taught before, Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly agreed to the invitation:

"Okay!"

"It's rare to be able to reunite with Yonehara-sensei, how can I just say hello and leave?"

"Right, Lan?"

She set her eyes on her best friend, and Mao Lilan, who is also a student of Mr. Mihara, naturally nodded in agreement:

"Yes, it's also a kind of fate to be able to meet Mr. Yonehara here."

Both Moriran and Suzuki Sonoko have a crush on Yonehara-sensei, who took good care of them in elementary school.

It just so happened that Mr. Sakai was a fan of Lin Shinichi again, and he took the initiative to send them an invitation to the party.

So they agreed.

Seeing that both of them wanted to go to the party so much, Lin Xinyi had no choice but to nod in agreement:

"Well... Then we'll go together in the evening. ”

"This villa is nearby, right?"

"Now that dinner is about the same, we just drove over together."

Lin Xinyi's expression naturally agreed.

But there was a slight muttering in my heart:

The teacher who taught Conan, the party where Conan was present, the mountain villa...

Historically, any of these three elements seems to be dangerous.

"I hope nothing happens again..."

Lin Xinyi prayed silently in his heart.

...............................

Something went wrong.

Before the party started, the car was still halfway to the snowy mountain villa, and there was an accident.

Heavy snow suddenly fell on the road.

The cold wind was blowing.

God is like an old mother who is afraid that her child will catch a cold at night, and it didn't take long to throw down a thick white quilt.

The snow covered the mountains, rivers, forests, and roads.

By the time Lin Xinyi and the others drove the car to the snow-capped villa after hardships, the snow piled up on the ground was so thick that it was knee-deep.

Not to mention driving away afterwards, it was a little difficult to even walk.

"The snow is covering the mountain, and it seems that I can't go back tonight."

"We can only stay in this villa at night with Mr. Yonehara and them."

Walking into this spacious snow-capped mountain villa, looking at the snowy scene outside the window, Lin Xinyi's expression was slightly worried:

"There are so many of us."

"I don't know if the rooms in this villa are enough to live..."

"Huh?" Gray Plains' little ears pricked up.

Like a white rabbit dumpling hearing something, she stopped all movements and quietly waited to listen to what was going on.

I only heard Mr. Yonehara reply:

"It should be enough."

"This is a holiday villa specially rented for group tourists, and the rooms inside can accommodate 20 or 30 people."

"We're just..."

Yonehara Akiko looked around and counted the number of people:

Lin Xinyi, Gray Plains, Conan, Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko, Belmode, here is a group of 6 people.

On her side, two male teachers, Shimoda and Sakai, and a female teacher, Minori Nakamura, are now a total of 4 people.

"Counting Mr. Sugiyama, who hasn't arrived yet, there are only 11 people in total."

"The room should be enough."

Miss Gray Plains put her ears back in disappointment.

The expression is also slightly gloomy.

Lin Xinyi didn't notice his girlfriend's subtle emotions.

He just asked with some concern:

"Sugiyama-sensei?"

"Anyone else hasn't come?"

"yes..."

Yonehara Koko, as well as Shimoda, Sakai and others all showed different colors:

"Sugiyama said he was going to meet us here, but he released our pigeons."

"I don't know if he'll come..."

"But looking at the way the road is closed by heavy snow now, he can't come even if he wants to."

"That's right." Lin Xinyi's brows furrowed slightly.

Pigeons are human nature, and it is actually normal for a person not to come to a party.

But there's Conan in... Everything can feel weird.

Lin Xinyi always had a bad premonition.

But along the way, he also tried to communicate with Yonehara Akiko and others, but he never came up with any special information.

Everything was so ordinary, it was like an ordinary party.

And in this situation where he didn't find anything strange, Lin Xinyi didn't want to force everyone to take any special precautions.

After all... He had to deal with Conan almost every day.

If you keep chasing the wind and shadows like this, as if you are facing a great enemy, and fighting wits and courage with the air, then you will not be able to live this life.

Sooner or later, people will be driven crazy.

Even if you're not crazy, in the eyes of others, you'll be crazy.

"Forget it, let's pack up our things normally and prepare for the night!"

Lin Xinyi temporarily let go of the distracting thoughts in his mind.

The villa has to be occupied at night, and it has to be cleaned up well.

Minori Nakamura, a female teacher, took the initiative to prepare dinner for everyone.

Shimoda and Sakai were busy burning the fireplace and turning on the heater.

Yonehara Koko took Sonoko Suzuki, Moriran and Belmode took Conan, and each went to the villa guest room, busy tidying up the room and making the bed and folding the quilt.

Lin Xinyi is also busy with this.

He helped Gray Yuan Ai choose a room next to him, and then went to her room to help her make her bed.

The bedding is placed on the upper level of the wardrobe in the guest room.

If Lin Xinyi didn't help, Miss Gray Yuan wouldn't be able to reach the futons that were placed high even if she stepped on the stool.

He helped remove a quilt and sheets from the upper level of the wardrobe, and carefully helped her make the bed and fold the quilt.

Gray Yuan Ai hugged a big pillow and stood aside obediently, waiting for her boyfriend to make the bed.

"Okay, you're going to sleep here at night, right?"

Lin Xinyi spread the sheets without a trace of wrinkles, and the quilt was folded squarely, looking extremely clean and tidy.

This is a good habit that he has kept since he received the training of new police officers.

And just as he admired his masterpiece with satisfaction, enjoying the visual massage brought by the flat bed...

Gray Plains climbed into bed.

She kicked off the oversized slippers, went barefoot, climbed onto the bed, put the pillow, unfolded the quilt, and rolled in her arms.

The masterpiece was destroyed, and the bed was instantly turned into a cat's nest.

Despite being a nest for cute kittens.

Lin Xinyi: "......."

I don't know why, he thinks Xiao Wai is angry.

"You're not happy?"

Lin Xinyi asked cautiously.

"Huh?" Gray Yuan Wai showed half of his face from the quilt.

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes:

This sluggish guy can even see her emotions?

"Is it because of Miss Suzuki?"

At that time, Gray Yuan's eyes were so sharp that they could be used as knives, and even if Lin Xinyi was dull, he could sense that something was wrong.

"That's... There's no way around it. ”

"That's your face..."

Lin Xinyi explained hesitantly.

"No explanation."

"I'm not going to be upset just because you've stared at another woman a few times."

"You're thinking too superficially."

Gray Plains' expression was very calm.

But in her big eyes was written loss:

"Actually, I was just thinking... When will I be able to appear in front of you with the face of Shiho Miyano like that woman. ”

"There hasn't been much progress in the antidote research yet."

"Are we really going to have to wait another eight years..."

Gray Plains sighed softly.

"This..."Lin Xinyi's expression changed slightly:

It was rare for him to see Ash Yuan Ai express his emotions so bluntly.

Obviously, it was Sonoko Suzuki who put up to Shiho Miyano and attracted the attention of his boyfriend...

It made her feel emotional, and thought of her current situation.

Gray Yuan's mourning little face is still cold.

But it's as cold as autumn frost, which makes people look a little cold.

"Shiho."

Lin Xinyi called out her real name.

He grabbed the small hand of Gray Yuan Ai and stretched out the quilt, and said:

"8 years is 8 years, I said, I will always wait."

"I know."

The troubles of the gray plain mourning have not been resolved:

"But that's still too long."

"What's more, even if you don't admit it..."

She lifted the quilt and stood on the bed barefoot, only to finally let her head reach Lin Xinyi's shoulder:

"When you see me now, you subconsciously think of me as a primary school student, right?"

"This..."Lin Xinyi was speechless: "No..."

"No??"

Gray Yuan Wai kicked the quilt on the bed with the cute little yellow duck printed on it.

He also stepped on the sheet with Doraemon on it.

"There are so many beds in that cupboard."

"You don't think of me as a child, why do you choose children's sheets for me?"

Lin Xinyi: "......"

He didn't expect that the quilt he chose casually would become the fuse that made his girlfriend angry.

And he was at a loss for a while, so he had to subconsciously want to reach out and touch her head to comfort her.

But this instead attracted an even more indifferent gaze from Gray Yuan.

All right... He was used to treating her like a child.

But it can't be helped.

Now Gray Yuan is indeed a schoolboy.

Walking beside him, looking at his little daughter.

Lin Xinyi can't learn from the fine traditions of those white-skinned rich people like he knows how to hug his daughter and worship his granddaughter, and move his hands and feet to minors.

That's too perverted.

But now... He didn't change his attitude, and Gray Yuan was unhappy.

"Hmm..." Lin Xinyi struggled for a long time.

Look at that little face covered in frost.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet, squatted down a little, stretched out his arm, and hugged Gray Yuanai's small body in his arms:

"Don't be angry, I-I..."

said such sweet and rancid words, it simply cost Lin Xinyi's life:

"I will always love you."

As soon as the words fell...

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin?!"

Shiho Miyano... Uh, no...

Suzuki Sonoko appeared at the door at some point.

She stared at the room in amazement, at the sight that had ruined her eyes.

A cold face that is almost the same as Miyano Shiho suddenly became a "mobile phone .jpg for the old man in the subway".

Suzuki Sonoko's voice trembled:

"You... Are you such a person? ”

Lin Xinyi: "......."

The bad premonition that lingered in my heart was actually fulfilled here.
