The next day, at about 6 o'clock in the morning, Gao Cheng was called to get up, and there was already snow outside the hotel, and the magical scene made Gao Cheng sober up a lot in an instant.

There are also many cherry blossoms in full bloom in the streets, and it looks like a big magic trick in the snowflakes.

It's nature's magic, and even Kidd can only breathe in awe.

"It really snows, no wonder this village worships the god of snow."

Wrapped in a quilt, Gao Cheng climbed to the balcony and looked out at the snow-shrouded village and the distant mountains.

There was a mysterious quietness......

"Kosuke! Xiaodu! Here and here! On the other side of the street, Shimazu, an athletic boy who got up early, waited for the little man and the girl with a headband.

"Isn't it left that Yuzumi and Fuyumi haven't come yet?"

"What should I do?" Shimazu checked the time and said, "In another 10 minutes, the snow will be thick." ”

"Anyway, they also said that if it's late, let's go first, let's meet at the school......"

Everyone discussed going to Snow Shadow High School first, and the two boys brought two shovels to dig the capsules, and of course the girls didn't need them.

Xiaodu looked back at the balcony hotel in the snow, slightly disappointed.

"Is it true that Joto-kun still doesn't come?"

"yes, no way, after all, it's a real Tokyoite, and it's different from Kosuke and us......"

"You don't have to say that, do you? Joto-kun must be shy, and besides, the matter of the capsule has nothing to do with him. Xiaodu helped explain.

"Ahh

In the balcony room of the hotel, Gao Cheng continued to wrap the quilt tightly to watch the snow, and glanced at Xiao Ai next to him, who was also shrunk in the quilt.

No one told him that it would suddenly get cold, and he had never seen it go from spring to winter overnight, but often summer.

I didn't bring any winter clothes with me this time......

"Ahh ”

"It's good."

Xiao Ai pulled the sweater that just covered her buttocks, but she was quite satisfied, anyway, she was not interested in going out early in the morning.

The cherry blossoms in full bloom were covered in snow, and all she could feel was sadness, and it was better not to look at it.

Gao Cheng closed the doors and windows, and after there was no cold wind, the room suddenly warmed up a lot, and Aunt Jimei also took out a sweater for him, which barely fitted, but it still looked a little funny, and he hadn't promised those students to go to Snow Shadow Junior High School.

After getting dressed, open the doors and windows again, and serve a bowl of hot soup, which is also a special flavor to enjoy while enjoying the snow.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Jimei," Gao Cheng said embarrassedly, "I was supposed to come to see you, but it turned out to be a cause for trouble." ”

"No, it's a lot more lively to have you here," Aunt Jimi smiled, "I'll go prepare breakfast." ”

Xiao Ai followed Aunt Jimei out of the room, leaving Gao Cheng sullen and drinking soup.

It's really strange, Xiao Ai is usually quite cold to others, but this time it only took two days to adapt to life here, as if he had lived in the village originally.

I couldn't figure it out, put down the soup bowl, and took out my mobile phone to read the news with the snow.

In Tokyo, the uncle didn't seem to make much movement, and the media surprisingly didn't report any special cases, but a strange piece of news made headlines.

An entertainment venue in Kabukicho recently launched an army of cowherds consisting of dozens of super handsome guys, and one of the top players was beaten into a pig's head by her rich husband.

Good Conan world, why is there such a profession as a cowherd?

Gao Cheng thought of the incident of the mountain demon mother-in-law who drew the cowherd card at the beginning, and the grandson who had plastic surgery as a cowherd now seems to be working towards the chef of his dreams.

"Whew!"

Snow Shadow Junior High School, the cherry blossoms in full bloom are gradually covered with snow, and the snowflakes and cherry blossoms are perfectly combined, and even if the headband girl Xiaodu who has been staying in the village sees it, she still can't stop being happy.

"It's so beautiful!"

"No more snow, no less, it feels just right?"

A chubby boy patted Kosuke, who was stuck in nostalgia.

After leaving for 5 years, when I saw this picture of cherry blossoms and snow again, my thoughts seemed to return to that time 5 years ago, and the photos taken when everyone buried the capsule are still preserved to this day.

"Hey!" The fisherman's son, Yuzumi, came from behind with a shovel and shouted, "I'm sorry! I'm a little delayed! ”

"Yuzhu, are you going to the dock again?"

"I can't help it, as long as I have to go over and say hello......"

"Hey," Xiao Suke suddenly noticed that a series of footprints had appeared on the empty snow on the campus, stretching from the school gate, and hurriedly called out to his companion, "It seems that someone arrived first......

Xiaodu complained: "It must be Dongmei, really, he didn't wait for us!" ”

"No......"

Xiao Suke looked at the campus in a daze along the footprints, his eyes gradually narrowing.

"Yes, somebody fell over there."

In a snow-white campus, at the end of intermittent black footprints, a girl in a white coat fell into the snow, allowing the snowflakes to accumulate on her body without the slightest movement.

The other people who were familiar with the white coats changed their faces and hurried to the girl.

"It's Fuyumi!!"

"Cheer up, Fuyumi!"

"How so?"

Kosuke, who was the first to pick up the girl, collapsed and choked.

"Damn!!"

"Huh?"

Balcony Hotel, Gao Cheng put down his phone and looked up.

Two villagers who happened to be passing by were discussing the incident at the temple yesterday morning, and I heard that the three short arrows placed on Haruna's body disappeared overnight, and the temple was very chaotic because of this incident.

"Yesterday morning? Strange, what are you stealing that kind of thing for? ”

"There are a lot of imps in the village who like spring vegetables, maybe whose little ghost did it."

"Anyway, it can't be my family's Yasuo."

Gao Cheng poked his head out and watched the villagers disappear into the snow.

As the village legend goes, the snow turned into rain after an hour of falling, and the accumulated snow was quickly washed away, and the cherry blossoms revealed their original appearance.

"Something seems to have happened."

Hearing a siren from the direction of Snow Shadow Junior High School, Gao Cheng hurriedly put on his coat and went out with an umbrella.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Jimei, who was still busy, was surprised, "Did something happen?" ”

"Probably."

Gao Cheng nodded at Aunt Jimei, didn't let Xiao Ai follow, and hurried to Snow Shadow Junior High School alone.

This kind of small village attracted a visit from the police, and those students said that they were going to Snow Shadow Junior High School to dig up time capsules today, which is really not reassuring.

The playground where the incident occurred in Snow Shadow Junior High School has gathered a lot of forensic personnel to collect evidence, and the veteran criminal policeman Eagle Tail who led the team is questioning several students who reported the crime in the teaching office.

"So, when you came, did you really only have the victim's own footprints?"

"Yes, everybody saw it, and there were absolutely no other footprints," explained the fat boy, "and in that thin layer of snow, if anyone walked by, there would have been footprints!" ”

"Well," said the old detective, touching his chin, "if that's the case, it's suicide......"

"Wait, wait," Kosuke, who was still red-eyed, said anxiously, "Isn't the cause of Fuyumi's death the short arrow stuck in the back of her neck?" How can this be suicide? Officer ......"

"That's enough, Kosuke," Shimazu interrupted, "If it's not suicide, then who killed Fuyumi?!" ”

"But ......"

"There can't be a murderer in this village! Or do you think that Joto from Tokyo is the murderer? Others have only known us ......"

"But," Kosuke said bitterly, clutching her hair, "First Haruna, and now even Fuyumi is dead!" Fuyumi just tried on the shrine maiden costume of the Sakurayuki Festival yesterday, and said that she went to Tokyo during the Golden Week, how could she commit suicide inexplicably?! ”

"How do you explain the footprints? Didn't you see that too? At that time, in the white campus, except for Fuyumi's footprints, let alone people, there were not even cat's footprints! ”

"All right, little ghosts," the old detective interrupted the arguing crowd, impatiently, "if there is no problem with your testimony, it can only be suicide, so be it, you can go back, and if there is anything else that needs to be asked, we will contact you alone." ”

Several students fell silent, and even Xiaodu, who dreamed of becoming a mystery writer, could only bite his lip unwillingly, feeling sad from the bottom of his heart.

My classmate died, but I couldn't help anything......

"In fact, it's not entirely impossible for him to kill him." Gao Cheng appeared at the door, just in time to stop everyone who was about to leave.

"Huh?" The old detective frowned when he saw Gao Cheng and said, "Who are you?" ”

"Joto-kun?"

Xiaodu stopped and looked at Gao Cheng one after another.

"Joto-kun, why did you come here?"
