Conan: I've been linked to the tech tree system.

As the first Detective Conan movie he ever saw, he still has a strong impression of it.

avalanche?

Tohno Toru glanced at the mountain that Conan had slid down.

It was just a small hill; it couldn't possibly cause the kind of avalanche he remembered.

So, does that mean Kogoro Mouri will definitely be in the movie? Only by assembling the ultimate Bleach lineup can we summon the movie.

If not, it's probably just a coincidence.

Tohru Tohru breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I've probably managed to infiltrate the main cast and have a maximum chance of surviving normal cases, the movie is different, and it's still too dangerous for me right now.

What about kicking satellites and cutting everything off like Goemon...? I'm scared.

Conan took off his snow goggles and put on his usual GPS glasses, looking around.

"Huh? Where's everyone else?"

He was referring to the boy detective group who had come to play in the snow with them.

"Ah, they're over there," Professor Agasa said with a chuckle.

Perhaps it's because he's getting older, but he really enjoys playing with children, and he always invites the Junior Detective Club members to join him on trips.

Conan followed his gaze and, sure enough, saw the three little ones excitedly building a snowman taller than themselves in front of a wooden house.

"Seriously," Conan said speechlessly, "Before they came, they kept asking me to teach them how to ski and skateboard, but all they did was build snowmen."

Conan was very unhappy. He was skating so well, but no one appreciated it!

"Ah, compared to building snowmen, skiing really doesn't hold much appeal for kids," Toru Tono said. "Thinking back, if you asked me as a child whether I'd choose to build a snowman or go snowboarding......"

Tohru Tono thought about it very seriously.

"It's hard to say... Let's see what our friends are playing, hahaha." He scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

"Hey, hey, you haven't even thought it through yourself," Conan retorted.

He sighed, squatted down, and removed the skateboard straps from his shoes.

It's really no fun hanging out with this group of people who have lost their childlike wonder.

He was just about to return the rented skateboard to the house when he suddenly heard Ayumi's voice.

"She really does look like she's crying!!"

Conan quickly turned his head, thinking that something unexpected had happened.

What we saw was a snowman with facial features made of bananas, oranges, and apples.

The eyes, nose, and mouth are fine, but the main problem is that the curve of the two eyebrows points downwards, making the snowman look sad and as if it's crying.

"You two are really something!" Ayumi complained, arms crossed, as Genta and Mitsuhiko started fighting.

“But there’s nothing wrong with that, right, Mitsuhiko?” Genta sought approval from his like-minded friend.

“Yes, that’s right.” Mitsuhiko naturally agreed, after all, it was the two of them who had made things this way. “Buying fruit before coming here was definitely the right thing to do!”

So that's why you waste food?

Seeing that the two of them were very happy, Ayumi stopped arguing, while Genta, carried away by his pride, backed away...

"boom"

For a primary school student, his rather large body crashed into something hard.

"Hey!"

The guy who was building the snow sculpture was startled and quickly steadied the sculpture that had been shaken by Genta's bump.

"You brat! Don't touch that, okay?"

Yuan Tai panicked, and then heard a woman's voice yelling at him.

Looking back, I saw the figures of three adults.

"This is the piece we submitted for our graduation exhibition."

Sakuko Ogura, wearing a pink cotton-padded jacket and a pink and white knitted hat, said.

"Well, it's just a prototype," Kiyama Kaji, dressed in a dark blue outfit and wearing his glasses on the brim of his hat, added in a friendly manner.

"A graduation competition entry?" Hearing this, the kids all became interested.

Ayumi glanced at the snowman Genta had bumped into: "Is it this snowman that looks like a monster?"

“Oh right, we are students from the sculpture department of the art university.” The remaining gentle-looking woman, Maka Onoue, wearing a light yellow coat, introduced them.

"We all love snow, so we went to ask the teacher for an exception so we could come here."

She smiled gently.

Chapter 176 Can he really predict the future?

“But it was only this older brother who was doing it.” Yuan Tai squinted and pointed to Itabashi Ichiya, who had just helped the snowman.

"Ah, that's because I need to make a rough outline first," Banqiao patiently explained to him, "and then everyone can discuss how to do it together."

"We'll keep working on it until everyone is satisfied, then take a picture of it so we can use it as a template when we officially start making snow sculptures."

"If everyone works together from the beginning, the work will actually appear messy and disorganized."

Kiyama Kaji, who was standing nearby, also came over and patted the snowman's head.

"Our theme is 'The Sigh of the Snowman'."

"Huh?" Ayumi was surprised, it sounded very impressive.

"Well, the head has a general outline... but the body..." Itabashi smiled and continued, looking somewhat troubled.

"It's okay, take your time." Kiyama Kaji moved his hand to Itabashi's shoulder and patted him encouragingly.

"What do you mean, take your time? Have you forgotten? We're going back the day after tomorrow! We need to get things in order quickly." Sakuko Ogura, who had just scolded Genta, sounded quite angry.

"Why are you being so rude, Sakuko?" Kiyama Kaji turned around, feeling somewhat indignant on Itabashi's behalf. "Itabashi has been staying here for our sake."

"Let me make it clear first, it was you guys who said we'd be creating together as a group of four, I never did," Sakuko Ogura said, hands on her hips, clearly indignant.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly awkward, Maka Onoue raised her hands to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, this is our last summer vacation in college, after all."

"Yes, let's all end this peacefully. It won't be easy for the four of us to get together like this after graduation."

Kiyama Kaji continued to play the good guy: "Right, Ma Hua?"

"Mmm," Maka Onoue responded cutely.

Tohru Tono raised an eyebrow as he looked at him.

What a classic four-person group! After one person dies, you have to choose one of the three.

"Would you like to make a bet?"

He leaned close to Shiho Miyano's ear and whispered.

"Hmm?" Shiho Miyano raised an eyebrow. "What are you planning now?"

"Don't act like I'm plotting something... How about we bet on who the killer is this time?"

Upon hearing this, Shiho Miyano's eyes widened.

"The murderer? Who is the victim?"

Is this person feverish from playing in the snow? What nonsense are they talking about?

"Well, the deceased is too easy to guess. If it wasn't that girl in the pink dress, I'd write her name backwards."

Tohru Tono waved his hand, saying that there was no need to guess such an obvious thing.

People who attract hatred from the moment they appear have a 99% or higher chance of dying.

His low profile is inextricably linked to the morbid motives behind murders in the Conan world.

If you don't keep a low profile, you might get targeted by some strange person one day.

As the saying goes, it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings. Humans are always high on offense and low on defense. If you have an intelligence advantage, even Gin is no match for you. But don't let yourself be caught off guard and attacked by someone you've offended sometime during your sleep, or you'll end up losing your life in a ditch.

Steady, prudent.

Shiho Miyano frowned, unsure whether Toru Tono was joking or serious.

Are there really people in this world who can predict the future?

Wait a minute, if he really has the ability to deduce the victim and the murderer before the case occurs, then I'll understand why I was curious about how he was able to solve the case immediately after it happened by working backward.

She was silent for a moment.

"...How did you know a murder would happen?"

"Is that even a question?" Tohru Tono gave her a strange look.

He used to think Shiho Miyano had potential, but after going out together so many times, he still hasn't seen through Conan's death god nature.

Tohru Tono pointed to Conan, who was staring blankly at the conversation of the four university students, and said, "See that Grim Reaper with glasses? It would be strange if a murder didn't happen if you went out with him."

"...Is that the reason?" Shiho Miyano was shocked.

She thought it was based on some rigorous and meticulous reasoning, or even some high-tech invention... Turns out it was based on metaphysics?

Is this thing accurate?

Shiho Miyano will remain skeptical for now.

"Of course, the accuracy rate is as high as 99%." This is the only point that Toru Tono is confident about.

The answer is that there are only 365 days in a year, but he has watched more than a thousand episodes of Detective Conan.

Based on an average of 2.5 episodes per case, it still operates 24/7, 365 days a year.

In other words, the probability of encountering a case when going out with Conan is almost 100%.

"I've done my calculations carefully," he added tentatively.

"..." Shiho Miyano now reasonably suspects that this person is joking.
