Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Looking back, hasn't time flown by a bit lately?

A month ago it was still summer, but when I went to the karaoke bar a few days ago, it was already Christmas.

From this perspective, as Shinichi Kudo shrinks, the timeline of this world does indeed undergo a strange change.

The only thing that Longye was grateful for was that, perhaps because he had grown up in this world since he was a child, his understanding of seasons and time was the same as that of the people around him.

He naturally adapted to the current timeline.

他清楚的知道今天是1月5日，也知道明天是1月20日，更知道后天是4月13日。

Without careful consideration, he might even find such a change in time quite normal.

"Longye, sorry to keep you waiting! Dad and the others should have finished packing by now."

Just then, Xiao Lan, fully armed, walked over carrying a small suitcase.

Her voice immediately brought Longye back to his senses.

Seeing that Xiaolan had already put on her light down jacket and packed her essentials, Longye nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call a car over now."

……

The day before yesterday, when Tatsuno and Ran were shopping for groceries in the shopping street, they suddenly won four tickets to ski for free.

Ran immediately decided that they could invite Kogoro Mouri and Conan to go skiing together.

Looking at the excited Ran, Ryūno agreed with her suggestion.

Indeed, it had been a long time since the two of them had gone out with those two Grim Reapers.

To be honest, when I was working with them before, I always felt that their "Grim Reaper" aura was incredibly troublesome.

After all, who in their right mind wants to keep running into cases?

If I stay with these two people all the time—

I went to the cinema to watch a movie, and then a case came up.

I went to a restaurant for a meal, and another case came up.

Even going to the toilet isn't peaceful.

Aunt Eri Kisaki seems to have left while Uncle Mori was using the restroom…

Aside from a few individuals, who would want to see such a scene every day?

That was what Tatsuno originally thought too.

But lately, besides going to and from school, I spend my days playing games with Xiaolan at home.

After living like this for a long time, even he felt a little out of place.

Aside from their daily bean-playing games, which they thoroughly enjoyed, their daily life was indeed rather mundane!

After all, this is the world of detectives!

Upon hearing Ran's suggestion, Ryūno immediately nodded in agreement.

"Skiing + Cabin + Conan + Kogoro Mouri = Something's Going to Happen"

A great philosopher once said, "When life gets boring, bring out Conan."

Previously, Longye always thought that this philosopher was talking nonsense.

But at this moment he thought that this philosopher was indeed quite capable!

……

Ski resort

"Tatsuno, when did you learn to ski? I didn't know you were such a good skier!"

Watching Ryuno easily perform various difficult maneuvers in the air with his snowboard, Ran couldn't help but admire him.

Conan, standing to the side, glanced at his snowboard and remained silent for a few seconds.

Is Takeda really that good at skiing?

Unfortunately, my dad couldn't teach me to ski in Hawaii.

Otherwise, I would definitely have to compete with this guy!

After some playful banter, Ryuno and Ran slid over to Uncle Mori's side.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri had already put on his ski boots and put them into his skis.

But he kept his hands in his pockets, silently smoking, showing no sign of going skiing.

Seeing this, Xiaolan immediately asked, "Dad, we've come all this way, aren't you going to ski?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Mori took a deep drag on his cigarette and said casually, "Idiot, I need to savor the scenery before I go skiing."

"The cloudless blue sky, adorned with the silvery white snow, is truly magnificent... Ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaolan and Longye had already quietly walked up behind him.

After exchanging a smile, the two reached out and gently pushed Kogoro Mouri.

Seeing Uncle Mori fly away, Conan, who was standing to the side, couldn't hide his laughter and burst into loud laughter.

With a terrified scream, Uncle Mori dashed out and crashed into a pine tree in the distance.

After falling to the ground, he complained, "Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have come! Skiing is really scary..."

Evening

The group arrived at the rented villa, but Uncle Mori discovered that the key was missing.

Upon hearing this news, Xiaolan immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Eh?! You lost the villa keys?"

"Honestly, it's all your fault! If you hadn't pushed me, how could I have lost my keys? I think we should ask the villa manager for a spare key."

"But the ski shuttle bus has already left, and we didn't bring our phones..."

"Right now, all you can see around here is that private villa over there."

After Xiaolan finished speaking, Uncle Maoli also glanced at the private villa in the distance.

Upon seeing the luxurious private villa, he rolled up his sleeves and scoffed, "Tch! I wouldn't go looking for those nouveau riche who live here! I wouldn't stoop down and fawn over someone like that!"

Upon hearing this, Longye and the other two twitched their lips speechlessly.

Realizing there was really no other way, Longye remembered the lock-picking skill he had almost forgotten.

Although he hadn't upgraded the skill, opening the door to the villa in front of him was obviously very simple.

Just as he was about to speak to Xiaolan and the others, a car suddenly stopped in front of them.

The car window rolled down, and a bald, middle-aged man smiled and said, "So you really are the famous detective, Kogoro Mouri!"

"I always listen very carefully to your reasoning in the news!"

"..."

After hearing about the villa key from Uncle Mori, he immediately invited the group to spend the night at his villa.

On the way, the man introduced himself to Longye and his companions.

The man's name is Masaru Oyama, and he is a professor of the First Department of Surgery at the Faculty of Medicine, Toto University.

That luxurious-looking private villa in the distance is his.

The group arrived at his villa in the man's car.

As soon as he got out of the car, Uncle Mori rushed to the villa's entrance and exclaimed, "Wow, this villa is really luxurious! Its design is also very stylish!"

Under the speechless gazes of Longye and the other two, he began to shower Professor Daishan with compliments.

"Wow! This door decoration with a lion design is fantastic!"

"Hmph, I originally planned to use horses for that place..."

"..."

Just as Uncle Mori was praising the villa, a red car stopped in front of it.

A woman got out of the car.

Upon seeing Professor Dashan at the door, the woman greeted him, "Professor Dashan! Why are you so slow? Everyone is waiting for you."

"Who are these people...?"

"Oh, it's you, Zhongyuan. I just went to pick them up. They're acquaintances I ran into by chance."

……

Soon after, the group entered the villa.

Everyone sat around the table, enjoying a warm hot pot.

Through conversation, Longye and his companions learned about everyone's identities.

Apart from Professor Oyama, everyone else in the room was a doctor from the same medical university and also Professor Oyama's student.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses noticed Longye and the others' surprise and explained with a smile, "Haha, you guys seem very curious~"

"My name is Kanazawa Tomoyasu. Actually, being a doctor also requires a certain lineage. I've been a teaching assistant under Professor Oyama for over twenty years."

Chapter 76: As expected, an unexpected event occurred.

His introduction opened up a floodgate of conversation among the remaining people.

A man holding a small wine glass and wearing a light blue sweater then spoke up: "My name is Tobita Ginji!"

"Three years ago, I transferred from an unknown professor to Professor Oyama's. It was the right decision I ever made."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman wearing a headband chimed in, "My name is Eguchi Kaho. The paper that Professor Oyama published a few days ago can be described as an academic masterpiece!"

Upon hearing about the paper, Kaori Nakahara, the woman Ryuno and his group first encountered outside, nodded and said, "Yes, I remember it's a paper about 'the development of treatments based on genetic factors for colorectal cancer'."

"Now, everyone in the academy is full of praise for the professor's paper!"

Hearing the students' discussion, the already drunk Professor Oyama blushed and boasted, "It's nothing. Writing that kind of paper is a piece of cake for my extraordinary brain! Hahahaha!"

After a satisfying meal, Ms. Esumi brought out several more cups of warm sake from the kitchen.

Upon seeing the sake, Ms. Nakahara immediately stood up and said, "Oh no, I forgot to buy some snacks to go with the sake. I'll just go to the convenience store in the mountains and buy some right now."
