My lover is this organization

……

After breakfast, as agreed, Mizuki Tono took Kogoro Mori and others for a walk around Kitazawa Village.

Since they had met last night, when they met again today, Toono Mizuki's reaction did not seem strange.

But in the eyes of Qin Wuque and others, today's Tono Mizuki seemed like a completely different person.

She took off the formal work clothes she usually wore as the hotel manager and put on a windbreaker that showed her youthful vitality. She took off the rimmed glasses that made her look old-fashioned and serious and replaced them with almost invisible contact lenses. She also let down her long hair tied behind her head and hung goggles around her neck for snow protection.

Toono Mizuki looks young. He is already in his thirties, almost forty, but to others he looks like he is only in his twenties.

After putting on this windbreaker, she looks like a female college student who just graduated from school.

Qin Wuque and others were better off, at most they just felt a sense of enlightenment.

As for Kogoro Mori... never mind, this old pervert is just about to stick his face right up to him.

After breakfast, everyone followed Tono Mizuki all the way out of the hotel, walked out of Kitazawa Village, and stepped onto the pure white snowfield.

Tono Mizuki took the lead and walked in front. As she walked, she introduced: "The place we are about to go is called Sawajiri Lake. We can reach it by crossing this snowfield. In this season, many swans will come to Sawajiri Lake. Because there are hot springs at the bottom of the lake, Sawajiri Lake will not freeze all year round."

This statement is similar to what the staff at the tourist service center said at the time.

Qin Wuque thought to himself.

He and Yuanzi walked slowly hand in hand at the back of the group. Looking around, it seemed that they were the only group that had come so far out to sightsee in the vast snowfield.

"Really? There are so many swans!"

Suddenly, Xiaolan's joyful cheers came from the front.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a huge lake a hundred meters away from them, sparkling in the sun, and flocks of white swans flying up and down on the lake.

"So beautiful!" Yuanzi's eyes lit up.

She pulled Qin Wuque's arm and urged him.

"Let's take a closer look!"

"Um……"

Her response was a puzzled groan from a dog head.

Yuanzi turned around curiously, but saw that Qin Wuque was not looking in the direction of Lake Sawajiri at all, but tilted his head to look further into the snowfield.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"there……"

Qin Wuque pointed in the direction where his eyes were heading.

"It looks like there's someone sitting over there."

"what?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look.

Indeed, on the vast white snowfield, there was a human figure almost as big as a black dot sitting lonely in the distance.

"That coat looks like... Hikawa-kun?" Toono Mizuki said uncertainly.

She waved her arms and shouted, "Hey - Hikawa-kun, we are here! What are you doing there! "

Tono Mizuki's voice echoed over the snowfield until it gradually faded away, but no response came.

Qin Wuque, feeling something was wrong, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, then frowned.

"That person seems to be dead."

Because some time ago, the message "Chapter xxx" has passed the review" often popped up on my author's backend, so I guess it's not the review side targeting me, but I encountered the kind of villain who specializes in malicious reporting and making trouble. After all, Hedgehog Cat's magical review system allows you to report even if you don't buy the paid chapters. It's a good thing to say that if there is no problem with your chapter, how could it be removed?

It's really funny. A reading software doesn't improve the reader experience, doesn't fix the audio book function, doesn't care about the pigeons, doesn't deal with the troublemakers, and does all these nonsense every day. I'm really fed up with it.

Chapter 463: Gross profit counter-purchase, villa by the sea

"You mean..."

"died?!"

When Maori Kogoro heard Qin Wuque say this, he immediately became alert.

Although he didn't know Qin Wuque very well and their relationship was still at the stage of unfamiliarity, after going through so many things, he had roughly understood that Qin Wuque was not an ordinary person.

Besides, no matter what, Kogoro Mouri was once a big figure in the Metropolitan Police Department, so he does have some vision.

It is indeed not right that a person like this sits motionless in the vast snowy field and does not respond at all when someone calls him.

"Don't come over yet. I'll go over and take a look. If something really happened, I'll try to protect the scene as much as possible!"

Kogoro Mori waved his hand to stop the people behind him who wanted to follow to see what was going on, and then walked alone towards the figure sitting in the snow in the distance.

The location of Glacier Shangwu was quite a long way away from Qin Wuque and others. Maori Kogoro walked for a long time in the foot-deep snow before he finally arrived.

He walked closer and saw that it was actually him.

Familiar hairstyle, familiar glasses, familiar coat.

Hikawa Shogo was kneeling in the snow with his head slightly lowered, as if he had been here for quite a long time. The hood on the back of his coat was covered with snow, his face was stiff and dull, and his eyes were staring at the snow beneath his knees with a dull look.

"Hyokyo-san! Hyokyo-san! What's wrong with you, Hyokyo-san!"

Kogoro Mouri walked closer and shouted a few times, but seeing that Hikawa Shogo was still kneeling there without any reaction, he reached out and wanted to touch him.

Qin Wuque's voice sounded from behind him at the right time.

"Even if you grab him by the legs, pick him up and spin him 3,600 degrees from here like throwing a discus into Lake Sawajiri, it will be useless. You can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, let alone a dead person."

"What!?"

Ignoring Maori Kogoro's astonished look, Qin Wuque took his hand out of his trouser pocket, put two fingers together and placed them under Hikawa Shogo's nostrils, then after a two-second pause, pinched the side of his neck.

"Gone. Not to mention breathing, even the pulse is gone. It's completely cold." He withdrew his hand and said lightly.

"how come……"

Kogoro Maori reached out and wanted to touch it, unbelieving it.

It would have been fine if he hadn't touched him, but after this touch, Bingchuan Shangwu seemed to have verified Qin Wuque's statement, and his whole body instantly fell slowly to the side, falling into the snow without any resistance.

“Look~” Qin Wuque spread his hands, “I told you it was cold as a rock, but you refused to believe me and even knocked the body over. I don’t think I took any photos.”

"Um……"

Kogoro Mouri is a person who cares a lot about his reputation. It's okay when there are no outsiders at home, but when there are outsiders, he must maintain his reputation as a famous detective.

However, he had indeed knocked the corpse over accidentally, and now that Qin Wuque mentioned it, Maori Kogoro's bad temper suddenly flared up.

"You're so annoying! Besides, I told you guys not to follow me. What if your footprints ruin some details?"

"Hmm? No way?"

Qin Wuque pointed in the direction from behind, and saw only a row of footprints on the snow, but they were a little deeper.

"I followed your footprints and at most I just covered them up. If I destroyed any details, they were already destroyed when you came here."

"...Tsk!"

Choked to the point of being speechless, Kogoro Mouri subconsciously wanted to catch a certain brat who always liked to touch and look around the crime scene and beat him up to vent his anger. However, after thinking for a few seconds, he came to his senses and realized that the other person seemed to have turned back into Shinichi Kudo, and was holding his daughter's hand in the crowd behind him.

Thinking of this, Kogoro Mori became even angrier.

Suddenly, he accidentally noticed that on the snow near the corpse, there was a long series of footprints that were completely different from the direction they came from, extending all the way to the shore of Lake Sawajiri in the distance.

It looks like it was left by Hikawa Shogo himself, including the size of the footprints and the pattern on the soles.

"This is……!"

Kogoro Mouri's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had discovered some new world.

"Uncle, did you find anything?"

At this time, Kudo Shinichi's voice also sounded from behind. He followed Qin Wuque's footprints and walked all the way over, but because he was not skilled, he walked very slowly.

"Of course!"

As if he had gained new confidence, Kogoro Mori spoke in a loud voice. He stood up, waved to the people behind him and spoke loudly.

"You can come over now! I now understand exactly what's going on!"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise when they heard this, and then followed suit.

After everyone gathered around, Maori Kogoro coughed lightly and spoke seriously.

"First of all, I have some unfortunate news, Ms. Mizuki. Hikawa-san is indeed dead, but based on my observation and inference, he should have died here on his own."

"That's it."

Tono Mizuki lowered his head, and a flash of grief flashed across his face behind the protective goggles.

"In fact, Bingchuanjun has had a bad heart since he was a child..."

"But that doesn't make sense."

The voice came from the side, and the camera turned to see Kudo Shinichi squatting beside the corpse and looking through his coat.

He pointed at the shoulder of the dead Hikawa Shogo.

"Look, his hood is clearly covered with snow, but there is no trace of snow on his shoulders, and the footprints along the way are also clearly preserved."

"So what exactly do you want to say?" Kogoro Mouri was a beat slow to react and said unhappily.

"It's a very simple logic. If he came here after the snow stopped, then unless he deliberately stuffed a large ball of snow in his hat before leaving, a normal person might not do that." Qin Wuque said to the corpse while groping in the pocket of his clothes.

"In other words, he was killed here a long time ago. The murderer helped him brush off the snow on his shoulders after the snow stopped, but didn't notice the snow in his hat. Then he walked backwards to the lakeside wearing the same boots as the deceased and escaped."

"As for the evidence of homicide, there are two. The first is what I just said, and the second is that there are no obvious external injuries on the body, but the stun gun is missing."

"Taser?" Kogoro Mori and Shinichi Kudo were both stunned.

When Yuanzi, who was walking slowly with Xiaolan from behind, heard this, she exclaimed.

"It's true. When Brother Qin and I were at the visitor center..."

After listening to Sonoko's explanation, Kogoro Mori nodded deeply.

"I see. I now understand the real murderer who killed Mr. Hikawa—"

He waved and pointed at Qin Wuque.

"That's you!"

"……Um?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Qin Wuque's head.

It can be seen that Kogoro Mouri is very confident about the results of his picture. He folded his hands across his chest and closed his eyes.

"Because among all of us, you, Qin Sang, are the only one who can walk smoothly in the snow by following in other people's footprints. I guess you must have killed Bingchuan Sang with his electric baton last night, and then waited until the snow stopped this morning before changing into the same shoes as Bingchuan Sang, and then retreated step by step along the footprints that were not completely covered by the heavy snow!"

"This also explains why you, Qin Sang, looked sleep-deprived when you woke up in the morning!" He made the final decision.

"Lack of sleep is because..." Sonoko's face turned red and she tried to explain in a low voice.

Qin Wuque opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

He looked at Kogoro Mori for a long while, and finally all his complaints turned into a long sigh.

Qin Wuque reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Actually...if you really can't be a detective, you don't have to do it. Just go find a class to attend."
