Chapter Seventy-Four: The Murder in the Snow Mountain Villa
The corners of Fei Yingli's mouth rose slightly, although Kogoro's answer was a little unexpected to her. But she felt a hint of sweetness, which showed that he still cared about himself very much and cared about the relationship between them.
"That's right, Yingli! Do you have time this week? When Xiaolan was watching TV two days ago, she saw other people skiing, so she said that she wanted to go skiing, if you have time, let's go together! It's been a long time since you've gone out with Xiaolan! ”
Hearing Kogoro's words, Concubine Yingli was stunned for a moment. She herself has been busy with work since she left this home, and she really has very little time to accompany Xiaolan.
Not to mention being able to go out to play together, she hadn't noticed this kind of thing before, and she didn't care about Xiaolan's feelings at all, and a feeling of guilt suddenly came to her heart.
Concubine Yingli endured the self-blame in her heart, and pretended to look out the window as if nothing happened. "Skiing! Since Xiaolan wants to go, let's go together! ”
A few days later, on the weekend, Kogoro drove early in the morning, carrying Ran and Conan, to pick up Fei Yingli first, and then went directly to a well-known ski resort near Tokyo.
Because it was a weekend, they had plenty of time to play, so they booked a villa on the mountain, and they will stay here tonight to rest and wait until tomorrow afternoon to drive back.
This snow-capped mountain is not very high, but it is very wide. From the top of the mountain to the base of the mountain, it stretches very far. Because it is very suitable for some beginners, it is always very lively.
A few people rented a few sets of ski equipment at the management office, changed them and started skiing. Skiing is common in Japan, and many people have done it. But Kogoro didn't cross it in his previous life, and in the memory of this body, he had this experience many years ago.
Therefore, seeing Xiaolan and Conan happily skiing in the snow, Kogoro just watched quietly from the sidelines, and there was no sign of wanting to act. After seeing that he didn't move, Fei Yingli, who was skiing on the snow on the other side, walked over directly.
"What's wrong? Stand here motionless! Doesn't our great detective know how to ski? "How could it be! I just saw such a beautiful snow scene, and I couldn't help but start admiring it! ”
Kogoro's rebuttal had no effect, and Fei Yingli still looked at him with a mocking expression, not believing what he said at all.
"Don't pretend, it's just the two of us here, and there won't be a shame in saying it, how about it! Do you want me to teach you? After hearing Fei Yingli's words, Kogoro couldn't help but look around, and sure enough, there was no one else around.
"Well, it's true that I haven't skated for a long time, and I'm a little rusty, if you can guide me, of course it's good!" Kogoro's gaze kept wandering around, and he didn't dare to look at Concubine Yingli.
Concubine Yingli didn't break his words, but just kept looking at him with a smile on her face. Then she instructed Kogoro, and the two of them also practiced as they skated farther and farther.
It was soon evening, and the four of them gathered again in front of the villa they had booked. They prepared some ingredients by themselves, and tonight Kogoro will show off his hard work during this time.
While eating dinner, several people watched a TV series that has been very popular recently. To be honest, Kogoro is very uninterested in it, and the emotional disputes in it, love and hate, etc.
However, Xiaolan and Concubine Yingli liked this TV series very much and were very fascinated by it, so Xiaogoro didn't say anything, but just watched it with Conan helplessly.
The show ended at ten o'clock, after which they went back to their rooms to rest. But not long after, a frightened cry came from the villa next door.
This made a few people who had not yet fallen asleep suddenly wake up. When Kogoro got dressed, hurried to the living room and ran out, he saw that Concubine Yingli and the three of them also followed.
"The sound is coming from over there, right!?" "That's right! It seems that something bad should have happened! So saying, the four of them came to the villa.
With their violent knock on the door, it took a while for a middle-aged man with glasses to open the door for them. "You are!?" "Did something just happen? We hear you screaming from a woman here! ”
"Ahh Actually, one of the people who came here with us was killed! "That's it! My name is Kogoro Mori, and I'm a detective, so if you don't mind, can you let us in? ”
After hearing Kogoro's self-introduction, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile. "It's Mr. Maori! If you can help us check it out, that's great! ”
"By the way, my name is Tomiyasu Kanazawa. He is an associate professor of emergency surgery at the Faculty of Medicine, Kyoto University. The one who was killed was a professor in my department, named Yamasho. ”
Kanazawa Tomoyasu said the situation as he brought the four of them into the villa. This time, they are several colleagues in the same department, and it can be said that they are all members of the department of the mountain general, and they came here to play together.
Because Professor Oyama liked the TV series very much, he watched it alone in the house. But the few people who gathered and chatted in the living room went over to watch it a long time after the TV series ended, and before it came out.
The person who went was called Kaori Nakahara, and she was Professor Oyama's assistant. After knocking on the door to no avail, she pushed open the door and found Professor Oyama tied up and dead.
Then she let out a loud scream, which attracted the other three people who were also in the villa. After another three minutes, they heard the doorbell ringing by Kogoro and the others.
Then it was up to Kanazawa Tomoyasu, the eldest of them, to take a look. There were a total of five of them, and in addition to the dead Professor Oyama, Kanazawa Tomoyasu and Kaori Nakahara, there were two others.
The two are also Professor Oyama's assistants, a man and a woman, the man is called Tobita Ginji, and the woman is called Ekaku Guobu. They were all very surprised by the sudden arrival of the four people.
I don't know if it's because someone will come, or because among the people who came, Kogoro is a detective. Soon everyone gathered in the house where Professor Oyama was killed.
The room was neat except for the shogi cloth on the table in the middle, which had been touched to the ground and left a little bloodstain. Apparently, Professor Oyama did not resist much before he was killed.
There are only two possibilities for this, one is that the opponent's force value is much higher than that of Professor Oyama, that is, at least a man in the prime of life. The second is that the other party is an acquaintance of Professor Oyama, and by surprise, he was directly subdued.
