Before you know it, it's night. Mitsuhiko's stomach began to growl, too.

Yuantai, who was already hungry, pointed to his abdomen and said to Conan: "Conan, I'm so hungry." Can we eat something. ”

Conan listened to Yuantai's stomach constantly growling, so he had no choice but to say to Dr. Ali helplessly: "Doctor, I think since they are all hungry, we..."

Soon, they were heading to the restaurant area of the hotel.

They sat on soft couches and looked at the waiters in white maid outfits. With their favorite curry rice, they were extremely excited.

Ayumi looked around at the restaurant that was full and exclaimed, "Today's day is really meaningful!" ”

Yuantai also affirmed this view, saying that I also think that today is really interesting.

Only Conan, who was eating in obscurity, watched them flatter each other. Disdainfully thought, "Hehe, you're just building a snowman outside." And said let's ski really! ”

Just as Conan watched the guests around him sit at the table and eat happily. Suddenly, I noticed a strange phenomenon in front of me.

Standing in front of the hallway of the restaurant, Itabashi said to the other two companions in surprise, "Have you seen Shuozi?" ”

Ogami Mahua worried: "No. Did you think she really went skiing? ”

Kiyama Forji said in the same way, in an anxious tone, "Just in the afternoon, when the snowstorm was blowing, I saw her suddenly come out of the hotel!" ”

"Ahh What to do now. She wouldn't have gotten lost in the afternoon blizzard. ”

Dr. Ali, who was beside Conan, looked at their inappropriate expressions and said worriedly, "Hey, Conan. It seems that the woman who spoke fiercely seems to be gone. We..."

Conan knew Dr. Ali's concerns. Let's go check it out.

Just as they were discussing whether or not to go out and look for Sakuko Ogura. Dr. Ali stood before them.

Dr. Ali smiled kindly and asked them if you need our help.

Kiyama thought of something and asked, "You guys met in the afternoon..."

Conan replied to their worried looks, "Don't worry about that much for now." We should do whatever it takes to find that missing companion. No. ”

Itabashi Kazuhachi replied helplessly: "The three of us turned over in this vicinity. It didn't turn out to be fruitful. ”

Conan looked at their embarrassed attitudes and said that we should look in the back direction. Look in the front of the hotel.

"But, Conan. The blizzard outside was just too big. We..."

At this time, through the window of the hotel restaurant, you can see that the cold wind outside seems to be blowing more. Because we heard the whirring of the cold wind and the sound of snowflakes crashing on the glass, the people sitting by the windows could condense the thick mist as long as they took a casual breath from the window. This shows how bad the situation is out there.

Conan knew that the situation out there was indeed very bad. However, if you don't look for it now. When the heavy snow stops, a thick layer of snow will cover the entire mountain range. In this way, the difficulty of finding will be increased geometrically. In the end, the result may be a corpse!

In the end, under Conan's constant insistence, everyone still came out reluctantly. Search for the missing Ogura Shoko.

"Shuozi! Where are you? ”

"Sister Ogura. Where are you? ”

The biting cold wind outside made my cheeks feel extremely painful. Conan's spectacle lenses were also covered with snow stains blown by the cold wind. Although Conan kept using his little hands to wipe the snowflakes from the lenses of his glasses. But even if he wiped the snowflakes off the lenses, the breath he breathed would cause the lenses to produce a white mist. This makes it easy to obscure people's view.

"Conan, you're all right."

Conan looked up at the snow and the whiteness of the sky. Said helplessly: "It's okay." But it's white outside, and we can't see anything clearly. We..."

"Conan, where are you!"

It turned out that Ayumi, who was following them, fell down because of an accident. And then they fell behind.

Seeing that there were a few fewer people beside him, Dr. Ali shouted in surprise, "Where did Ayumi go!" ”

"I'm here! Come help me. ”

Conan hurriedly ran to Ayumi's side and helped Ayumi up, who had fallen into the snowdrift. Then he helped her beat the snow stains on her body, and finally caught up with Dr. Ali and them, who were waiting in place.

Gray Yuanwai, who was standing next to the snowman made by Yuantai just now, said speechlessly: "Looking at the white expanse outside, we are so foolish, we have to ride in if we don't get it!" After all, if there were any traps or something nearby, we wouldn't be able to see them at all under the heavy snowfall. So..."

Conan also thinks that Gray Plains is right. Just as I was about to stop looking for the snow, I heard Yuantai's shout.

"Come here! The head of the snowman we made is actually missing! ”

Sure enough, when Conan and the others ran to the snowman made by Yuantai, they found that the snowman's head was indeed missing. All that's left are two mop-made arms. Even the bucket that was used as a hat was discarded casually.

Conan walked around the snowman at random, and suddenly felt that he had stepped on something. When I picked it up, it was actually an apple that served as a nose.

After Yuan Tai saw that his achievements were destroyed, he shouted angrily: "Who the hell is it!" Why destroy the snowman we've worked so hard to make! ”

Yuantai, who was originally unhappy, found something that made him even more unhappy. That is, the gloves hanging on the wooden handle of the mop, which were also blown away by the strong wind.

Angry and ruined, Yuan Tai hurriedly chased in the direction of the gloves blown away by the wind.

Conan watched Yuantai's act of death and shouted worriedly, "Don't run anymore!" It's a cliff ahead! ”

As if to confirm something, after Yuan Tai ran less than fifty meters. Suddenly, his legs went limp, and he fell on the snow.

Conan and the others hurriedly ran to Yuantai's side, and after helping Yuantai up, he said that it was okay.

Yuan Tai nodded that it was okay.

However, when Conan looked around, he noticed that there was actually a pond under the cliff!

The point is, there seems to be something floating on top of the pond.

When Conan tried to take a closer look, Dr. Ali hurriedly stopped him. Don't you see a warning sign nearby?

Sure enough, Conan saw a sign with a cliff ahead and a dangerous sign nearby.

Dr. Ali then asked, "What exactly did you find?" ”

Conan said anxiously, "I look like I'm in the pond in front of me, and I see a person!" ”

Dr. Ali said in disbelief, really! If that's the case, then you hurry up and use the zoom function of the tracking glasses to see what the hell is going on!

After Conan uses the magnification function of the tracking glasses, he discovers that the long-lost Sakura is floating on the surface of the pond!

Conan shouted in surprise: "Indeed, it's the missing Ogura Shuoko!" Let's call the police! ”

Dr. Ali was embarrassed and said, "But the snow is so big. The road is definitely icy, and then..."

Just after Ali finished talking about his worries, the snow slowly stopped.

Conan said, "Step Tai Mitsuhiko, you wait for the snow to stop, and then hurriedly take a detour and run to Sister Sakuko Ogura who is floating in the pond." Gray Plains and I went to find her companions. Dr. Ali, hurry back to the hotel and call the police!

Eventually, they began to split up.

Thirty minutes later, Itabashi and Conan were reunited, and Dr. Ali said that the police would arrive in an hour and that he would let us get the missing person to the shore first. Then wait for the police to arrive. After all, because of the snow. So...

In this case, Conan and the others decided to help Ogura Shuoko, who was floating in the river, to the shore first.

Soon, they ran to Ayumi who was waiting in place.

With the joint efforts of Itabashi Kazuhachi and Kiyama Shoji, they dragged Ogura Shuoko, who was floating in the river, back to the shore.

looked at Sakura Ogura, whose face was obviously dark and blue, and his lips were purple. Conan knew that he was hopeless!

Mr. Itabashi Ichihachi: They said no!

Conan asked them rhetorically, "If you don't believe me, you can sniff her breath." ”

Sure enough, they didn't believe in evil, and stretched out their fingers, trying to probe each other's snorts. Prove that she is not dead.

It's a pity that she didn't snort. Moreover, her pupils were also showing signs of dilation. It was clear that she had been dead for at least three hours or more!

After another 30 minutes of waiting, police officers from Gunma Prefecture arrived at the scene.

An identification officer wearing a blue down jacket and a cap squatted next to the deceased Sakura Ogura. He said to everyone: "The deceased is Ogura Shuoko, 23 years old. Gender: Female. The cause of death may have been drowning. Because it was found from inside the lake. So..."

A mountain village police officer wearing a gray down jacket with sharp beak and monkey cheeks. While shivering sadly, he said to the forensics. Since you said that you want to carry out a judicial dissolution, then hurry up and put it down.

After he said this, he unconsciously sneezed. Obviously, it was just too cold outside. Although the snow had stopped now, the cold wind outside was still blowing, making them shiver with cold.

Immediately afterwards, the mountain village police officer said who was the friend of the deceased.

Itabashi Kazuhachi, Kiyama Forji and Okami Maka said in unison, "We are her friends. Unexpectedly, she actually died here! ”

Seeing their crying faces, the mountain village police officer had no choice but to sigh with relief: "Okay, okay." I'm sure we'll solve this case, okay, we're ready to call it a day. Remember to take away the corpse! ”

Conan hurriedly stopped them as they were about to call it a day.

Officer Yamamura looked puzzled when he saw Conan's anxious look. Then he asked excitedly: "You are a Maori detective..."

Conan smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I'm Uncle Maori..."

Gray Plains, who was beside Conan, interrupted inappropriately: "It's a pity that the Maori detective didn't come today." ”

Since Mori Kogoro didn't come, Officer Yamamura arbitrarily thought. This incident must have been cursed by the deceased!

So, is she really what Officer Yamamura said? What the hell is the truth...
