"Uh-oh."

Mingmei hesitated for a while, but when Qin Wuque stretched out his hand persistently, she nodded reluctantly and handed over all the tools in her hand.

So, Qin Wuque had to start cleaning the house early in the evening.

When talking about spring cleaning, we have to mention the disadvantages of a big house. If it is an ordinary house of 100 square meters, it will probably only take an hour or so to sweep and mop the house if you are quick.

But for a large villa like Qin Wuque's, which is usually three or four hundred square meters, it would only take a morning or an afternoon.

Fortunately, Mingmei didn't have any strict requirements, and Qin Wuque was very quick and efficient. When he finished the living room, Shiho had just come out of the kitchen after washing the dishes.

She was slightly startled when she saw the dog's head playing around on the mop in the living room.

"I remember my sister didn't say she..."

"Mingmei, I asked her to take a shower first. Shiho, you should go take a shower too." Qin Wuque stopped his childish behavior and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

"Ah? But..."

The girl looked at the obvious wet marks left on the floor from the mop and hesitated.

"It's okay, come out, I'll just delay it for a while." Qin Wuque shrugged, "Besides, even if Shibao you don't come out, it's useless, I'm going to clean the kitchen soon, and you'll have to come out even if you don't want to."

"Uh, okay."

Miyano Shiho nodded reluctantly, walked out of the kitchen, and with her back pressed against the wall like a gecko, she tiptoed towards the bathroom.

Don't ask why it's stuck with the back. The reason is that if it's stuck with the front, it will bounce back. Maybe it can be avoided if it's replaced by Sera Masumi.

After Shirley walked into the bathroom, Qin Wuque walked along the route she had taken before, mopping up the footprints left behind, and then walked into the kitchen with a broom and dustpan, ready to start cleaning the next area.

At this moment, the cell phone in Qin Wuque's pocket suddenly rang.

When I took it out and looked at it, it turned out to be a call from Yuanzi.

Qin Wuque raised his eyebrows and clicked to answer the call.

"crooked?"

"Brother Qin!"

As soon as the call was connected, the excited voice of an optimistic girl came from the other end of the phone through the wireless signal.

"I haven't contacted you for a few days. What are you doing now?"

"Now?"

Qin Wuque glanced at the broom in his hand.

"I'm cleaning. What's wrong?"

"Hmm..." Yuanzi paused and said in a mysterious voice, "Do you still remember what you promised me a few days ago?"

"Of course I remember." Qin Wuque hummed, "Going out for a trip, so what? Have you already set a departure date?"

"No, not yet." Sonoko paused, "It will probably take a few more days, because something happened..."

"Oh?"

"It has nothing to do with me, it's Lan's problem," Sonoko explained.

"Lan has a boyfriend, or maybe a childhood sweetheart, his name is Kudo Shinichi. Brother Qin, you should have heard of him on TV, right?"

"Ah——" Qin Wuque's tone started high and ended low.

In fact, when he heard Sonoko mention the name Kudo Shinichi, he immediately reacted, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Yeah, I know, what's wrong?"

"Well, it's nothing~" Yuanzi said lightly, "It's just that for a while, about half a year, Lan and her boyfriend have been out of contact, and recently he suddenly resurrected, so I was thinking about whether we should go together at that time. At that time, Lan and her boyfriend will be a pair, and then the two of us..."

The girl was still a little shy after all, and her voice became softer as she spoke.

Qin Wuque said in his heart, yes, that’s true, and I also know that he was resurrected in Kyoto five days ago.

But he said, "Oh, sure, it'll be a few days, right? What about the location?"

"As for the location, I'm planning to go skiing." The sound of a mouse clicking came from the garden.

"Skiing?" Qin Wuque was stunned.

He thought to himself, in this hot summer, where can you find a place to ski? An indoor ski resort?

"Well, I saw on the Internet that it's in Kitazawa Village, Niigata Prefecture. There's an outdoor ski resort that snows all year round, and it seems to be holding some kind of festival recently."

Yuanzi's tone suddenly became excited.

"How about it, do you want to go?"

"……walk slowly--"

Damn, I decided to put the group number directly in the introduction in the future. I was afraid that something would happen to me like another person who started a book with me. At that time, someone from his side simply rushed into the group and insulted him for no reason, and even directly greeted his family. As a result, I didn’t dare to put the group number too openly.

Chapter 453: People's physiques cannot be generalized

Niigata Prefecture is actually located in the mountains in the north-central part of Honshu Island, Japan.

However, considering that there are 3,650 days in a year in the Conan universe, there are nearly twenty or thirty Christmases and Valentine's Days, as well as N winter and summer vacations and spring breaks, and the solar terms of spring, summer, autumn and winter are often frequently interspersed.

In order to avoid the situation where the dog days just ended a few days ago and turned into the coldest days of the year with howling north winds and heavy snow a few days later, the author had to make a difficult and painful decision.

——He decisively welded the coffin lid of his junior high school geography teacher and forcibly carved out an area where snow fell all year round in Niigata Prefecture on Japan's Honshu Island.

Its name is Kitazawa Village.

A few days later, the annual Snow Festival opened in Kitazawa Village.

Festivals like the Snow Play Festival are not uncommon around the world. Almost all places where it is easy for heavy snow to fall in winter have such customs.

However, Kitazawa Village is the only one that holds a snow festival in mid-August.

This is also the most important revenue time point in this remote mountainous area throughout the year.

Just in time, Qin Wuque and his men caught up with him.

A huge welcome banner was affixed to a long cylindrical balloon and stood in an arch at the entrance of the village. Looking inside from the entrance, one could see various snack stalls on both sides of the snow-covered main road, selling a wide variety of delicacies such as roasted sweet potatoes and takoyaki. Tourists in thick down jackets were seen in an endless stream wherever one looked.

Although it is true that the season is summer, it also depends on the geographical location.

It's like if someone goes outside in short sleeves in the Arctic in order to adhere to the rules of wearing clothes according to the season, they will probably turn into a lifelike human-shaped ice sculpture in a few minutes.

This is nature's throwing tiles.

But some people obviously don't intend to give nature this face.

"There are quite a lot of people."

In the middle of the main road of Beize Village, Qin Wuque, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, stood outside in a temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius, with his hands in his pockets, looking left and right, his eyes moving between one snack shop after another.

Next to him, a young lady from a certain garden was wrapped tightly in a pink cotton jacket, with her hands obediently wearing not-so-attractive but very practical large gloves. She even wore big furry ear clips.

But even so, the girl's voice was still trembling, and she would puff out a large puff of white mist every time she said a word: "Of course... It's very hot all over Japan this season, and only here can be regarded as a real 'summer resort', but... it seems a little too cold. By the way, Brother Qin, don't you feel cold wearing so little?"

"I feel okay?" Qin Wuque said casually.

He pulled his hand out of his pocket and held his arm out to Sonoko.

Wow, let alone goose bumps, not even the hairs stood on end. They were all firmly attached to the skin without exception, and the color of the blood was quite normal.

"No way?" Yuanzi murmured.

She took off her gloves in disbelief, risking the wind blowing away the little heat she had worked so hard to accumulate, and touched Qin Wuque's arm with her slightly cool fingertips.

Hmm... warm, very warm.

It turns out that people’s physiques cannot be generalized.

Somehow, Yuanzi suddenly thought of this sentence.

Qin Wuque raised his head and looked to the side.

In front of a snack shop selling baked potato chips, Kudo Shinichi seemed to be talking to Xiaolan. Both of them looked quite uncomfortable, one with his head down and staring at his toes, while the other turned his head and looked around.

They were clearly talking to each other, but it seemed like they were talking to the air.

Behind the snack bar, an old father was observing all this secretly with a sullen face.

"What's going on with them?" Qin Wuque raised his chin as if knowingly asking.

"As for them... I'm not sure either." Sonoko took a quick look and understood. "Maybe it's because we've been apart for too long. Ran didn't tell me in detail, but it seems like they've become like this since Kudo came back."

"Oh wow wow——" Qin Wuque's long laughter revealed the joy of seeing through everything.

At this time, Sonoko also saw Uncle Maori hiding behind the snack shop and observing secretly.

"As for the uncle who is about to become a father-in-law, he probably couldn't bear to see his daughter being abducted, so he forced himself to come along, under the pretext that traveling means everyone should be together, and by the way--"

Having said that, she narrowed her eyes and glanced at the three little ones who were led by a certain Beika Town Riddler behind her.

It’s not that Yuanzi hates children. If it were any other time, that would be fine. But this time, she came here to improve her relationship with her dear brother Qin.

In addition, based on past experience, these three little ones can be very naughty when they get angry. If they mess up her good things, she will really go crazy.

"Then let's go somewhere else." Qin Wuque suggested.

"good idea!"

When this matter was mentioned, Yuanzi immediately became excited. Without saying a word, he opened his arms and gave Qin Wuque a bear hug. He hugged Qin Wuque's arm like a koala.

"It just so happens that Lan and the others must have a lot to talk about after being apart for so long. As for the children, they can just play by themselves. Let's not disturb them!"

As she said this, she excitedly pulled Qin Wuque and was about to walk forward.

A certain dog head allowed itself to be dragged away, and helplessly held the girl's hand gently.

"I understand the logic, but Yuanzi, don't you feel awkward walking like this?"

"A little, but it's warmer this way."

"…If you really feel cold, how about changing your skirt and stockings into cotton pants?"

"Reject! This is a girl's modesty!"

In response to him were Miss Sonoko's firm words.

Yes.

It's magical. Maybe the local people really want to turn this village into a tourist destination. It's obviously a settlement, but everything is laid out like an amusement park.

Not long after, the two of them walked slowly all the way to the tourist service center.

Pushing open the glass door covered with condensed water droplets, the hot air from the indoor air conditioner suddenly hits you in the face.

Yuanzi's face, which had been a little stiff due to the low temperature outside, suddenly relaxed.

At the counter facing the door, two men, also wearing thick winter clothes, seemed to be asking for something from the customer service desk.

Qin Wuque saw the customer service staff take out two paper maps from under the table and explained in detail.

"One of these is a map of the new Bei Ze Village after the dam was built, and the other is a map of the old Bei Ze Village."

"Oh, thanks!"

One of the two men, who was wearing glasses, spoke to the relatively handsome man, while the other man with relatively dark complexion and unkempt appearance held up two maps in his hands and compared them carefully under the light.

Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, the man with glasses turned around and found that someone came in. He pointed at the dark-skinned man next to him and added a sentence in a mischievous manner.

"Because this guy wants to know where his old home is now in the reservoir."

After saying that, he reached out and patted the latter.

"Okay, let's go."

"Oh, yeah."

The dark-skinned man looked back as if he had sensed something, and caught a glimpse of Qin Wuque and Yuanzi pushing the door open from behind. They exchanged glances and nodded.
