Lake Sawajiri.

As the lodge says, many swans flutter in the air in the snow-covered mountains, like a paradise of nature.

Gao Cheng walked along the lake in a snowy walking group, with ski poles in his hands and snowboards fixed to his feet, and like everyone else, he wore thick coats and windshields, and was fully equipped.

He had already made a special trip to the reservoir, and he didn't find any problems for the time being, and the four reservoir staff had been guarding over there, and as for Muto's studio near the reservoir, he didn't have a chance to go over.

I heard that Muto only goes to the workshop near the reservoir when he makes large wood carvings, and most of the rest of the time he is at the lodge, and he doesn't see anyone when he works.

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng was secretly worried.

There are too few clues, and many places can only rely on guesswork, so how can you be in the mood to play in this case?

Anyway, he also boasted to the Metropolitan Police Department that he had come to Haikou, and the case involved the governor of the Eastern Capital, if he made a mistake in judgment, although he could not lose his identity as a consultant, his ability would be somewhat doubted.

Of course, regardless of whether the prisoner who attacked the governor was related to the village or not, it is very likely that the next target will be the reservoir dam.

As long as you keep an eye on the reservoir side, there will be no problem.

"Let's take a break."

Mizuki Tono, who led the team, stopped by the lake full of swans, took off his hat and windshields, put down his original ponytail, changed his long straight hair and draped it on both sides, and changed his glasses to contact lenses.

The uncle who noticed next to him looked straight in both eyes, and leaned over with a fart: "It's so beautiful, Miss Mizuki!" You're ......."

"I already had contact lenses."

"Next time I don't want to go to Tokyo, I'll be a tour guide, and I can go anywhere......"

"Is the Todo Skytree okay?"

"That's ...... this"

"Whew." Gao Cheng fell at the rear, and only at the urging of the garden did he hurry to the resting place.

"Ah Cheng, why are you slow?" The garden said strangely, "It's hard to come out to play, so you have to be happy." ”

"I'm sorry."

Gao Cheng took off his windshield and looked at the swans in Lake Sawajiri.

If there is no case, it is really good to travel to Kitanosawa Village, the air is good, the scenery is beautiful, and the people are ......

Gao Cheng glanced at the uncle who was talking and laughing with Mizuki Tono.

I really envy this guy, should I really just come here to play?

It was actually the uncle who was really involved in this case, and after the press conference, the mass media was also looking forward to the uncle, but this guy didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Where are we now?"

Gao Cheng took out the map and compared.

Lake Sawajiri is shaped like a swan with outstretched wings, with thin ends and a large middle, and they have been walking along the slender edge of the lake upstream, and it feels like they are almost reaching the main body of Lake Sawajiri.

"This is the place," Mizuki Tono said, pointing to the map, "and you have to pass through the snowfield, and Muto's lodge is in the mountains over there. ”

At this time, gray clouds drifted in the sky, and fine snow fell between the mountains, and Ayumi couldn't help but think of the bad experience last night.

"Ah, it's starting to snow again."

"Don't worry, it'll stop soon," Mizuki Tono smiled and beckoned to everyone, "It's almost time for us to go, otherwise we won't be able to make it to dinner in the end." ”

"Gollum." Just when it came to dinner, the fat man Yuantai's stomach rang.

"Really, Mrs. Yuan, you've eaten so much at noon, you don't want to eat dinner right now, do you?" Mitsuhiko wondered.

"I can't help it."

"Just bear with it, there's still more than half the way."

There is a cliff in the middle of the shore of Lake Sawajiri, and you have to pass through the snowfield, which is obviously a lot more difficult to walk, and you have another break in the middle, but the scenery is also very good.

Gao Cheng put aside the case for the time being, and walked behind with a panting Dr. Asasa together.

"Doctor, you're in terrible health, I'll ask Xiao Ai to write you a recipe and exercise list."

"No, no," Dr. Asa broke out in a cold sweat as the alliance shifted the subject and pointed to the people who had stopped in front of him, "Is there something going on up ahead?" ”

"Don't come here!"

At the front of the line, Mori Kogoro stopped everyone with a heavy face, and in front of him was Shogo Hikawa, who had fallen in the snow.

"It's hopeless, he's dead, he doesn't look like he's hurt, but it doesn't look like he's frozen to death...... Hey, Joto, you know this, come and see! ”

"What's going on?"

Gao Cheng hurriedly ran to his uncle in the snow.

The young man with glasses named Glacier fell silently in the snow, his eyes open, his mouth slightly open, cold without a trace of blood.

"It's true that it's not freezing to death, it's likely to be an acute myocardial infarction."

Gao Cheng frowned and looked at the corpse and the surrounding scene.

In the absence of a judicial autopsy, he could only make a preliminary judgment, but from the scene, it should have been a deliberate homicide disguised as an accidental death.

Although there were only the footprints of the victim on the snow, and he walked from the lakeside to the scene, there was only a lot of snow in the coat and hat on the glacier, which means that someone specially cleaned the snow on the corpse after the snow stopped, but accidentally missed the inside of the hat.

"When we found out, Mr. Glacier was sitting here with his back to the river, and he was the only one in the snow," Conan thought, "it seemed like an accident, but the stun stick he had put in his pocket was missing, and Glacier had said he was used to putting it in his pocket for self-defense." ”

"Stun baton?" Uncle Maori raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I heard him say it in the village," Conan said, looking at the corpse, "the stun baden is not there, which means that someone with him has taken it......"

"Stinky boy, let's play!"

Uncle Annoyed and threw Conan away.

"There are only snowshoe prints of the glacier here, it should be that he walked along the lake alone, and died of a heart attack while passing through the snowfield, Miss Mizuki, how about the heart of the glacier?"

"I remember that the glacier was not very good at heart since I was a child." Mizuki Tono said.

"That's right!" The uncle said in a deep voice, "Anyway, call the police first, and notify the village by the way." ”

"No," Gao Cheng shook his head, stood up and said, "The scene is disguised by people, and the glacier is indeed not a person. ”

"But the shoe prints ......," the uncle was stunned.

Wait, it's a familiar feeling, every time his judgment is overturned, this guy from Joto should be right.

Think again, shoe prints, snow ......

"I see, it's also possible that someone walked up with a glacier on their back, and another person walked back upside down along their shoe prints......"

"It's easy to tell, isn't it?" Yuan Zi was speechless, "And can you really do it?" ”

"Of course you can!" Uncle insisted.
