[Ten rewards have been drawn, and all skills and abilities will be integrated and take effect one after another. ]

Maori took a deep breath, feeling the changes in his body and mind.

Warmth and coldness flowed alternately in his body, and his mind seemed to have opened a new door, and a long-lost sense of relaxation filled his heart.

The coordination of muscles and nerves, the heightened perception, the sharpness of observation - all of this made him stronger than before.

He opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in them.

Cases that once seemed difficult now seem like a piece of cake.

Mao Li raised his lips slightly and exhaled a puff of smoke with satisfaction: "It should have been strengthened a long time ago. It's all because there are too many things going on."

Haibara Ai looked up at him, frowning slightly, as if she felt some subtle change in him.

Conan gritted his teeth secretly - he noticed that Uncle Maori seemed to be different again.

……

The next morning, Inspector Megure and his team arrived at the scene.

He took off his hat and rubbed his stiff neck, complaining, "Oh, come on, Maori brother! It's such a rare good day. I was just thinking of taking a break today, but you pulled me out of bed to work on a case again."

Mao Li greeted him with a smile, a cigarette between his lips, and joked: "Haha, after all, you are the inspector I trust the most, Inspector Megure. Only with you here can I explain this case with peace of mind."

Megure waved his hands helplessly: "You sound like you're praising me, but why do I always feel like something is wrong?"

He sighed and looked around the scene. Everyone was tired from a sleepless night. Just looking at them gave him a headache. "Okay, what mess did you make this time? Explain the case clearly."

Maori lit a cigarette with a smile and recounted the incident that happened last night.

From the death of Mr. Sugiyama, to the fight between Ryuichi Sakai and Kohei Shimoda, and the final bloody "murder and suicide" scene, he retold all the details one by one.

Megure's face darkened when he heard this, and finally he just sighed and asked his men to start taking pictures and collecting evidence.

"There's nothing complicated about this case."

Mao Li said lightly, "The evidence and witnesses are all in front of us. There is no possibility of reversal. The police investigation will also go smoothly."

Megure nodded, confirmed several key details and prepared to pack up.

As he put on his hat, he gave Maori a relaxed smile: "By the way, Maori brother, now that the case has come to an end, I know there is a snow mountain guesthouse nearby called 'Genbei'. It not only has hot springs, but also the legendary snow woman story, which is very interesting. The scenery is also very beautiful. If you are not in a hurry to go back, why not go and relax and soak in the hot spring to calm down?"

Maori raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Hot springs and the legend of the snow woman? Sounds good."

He took the address of the guesthouse from Megure and put it in his pocket, then turned to ask his companions for their opinions: "How about going to the hot spring to relax?"

Yonehara Akiko was obviously a little hesitant, and finally shook her head gently: "I...I'd better go back with Minori."

She glanced at Maori, who had a calm expression, and complex emotions flashed in her eyes, as if she was still digesting everything she had experienced last night.

Mao Li didn't say much, just smiled and nodded: "It's up to you. Call me if you have any problems."

His tone was calm, but in these few words, there was a kind of reassuring power.

Without saying anything more, Akiko Yonehara and Minoru Nakamura said goodbye hastily and left together.

Maori turned to the remaining people. Sonoko had already said excitedly, "Of course I want to go! It's a good time to soak in the hot springs to calm down after seeing ghosts in the middle of the night!"

Xiaolan also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I want to go too. I've been too tired these past two days."

Although her expression was calm, the fatigue in her eyes was hard to conceal.

Conan shrugged. "Hot springs are nice, too. Anyway, as long as I'm not in school, I can go anywhere."

Huihara Ai yawned lazily: "Whatever, I have no objection."

She seemed to have no interest in any of the choices, but there was a hint of sleepiness in her eyes. It was obvious that the events of last night had consumed her a lot.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Mao Li put out his cigarette in the ashtray with satisfaction: "Well, let's go. Let's go to 'Genbei'!"

The few of them packed up quickly and drove towards the B&B "Genbei" following Maori's instructions.

Along the way, the snow on the mountains sparkled in the sunlight, as if the world had completely awakened from last night's gloom.

The warm sunlight shone on the car windows, and everyone's mood gradually relaxed.

……

It was already afternoon when Maori and his party drove to the B&B "Genbei", and the sun was lazily shining on the snow-covered mountain road.

The B&B is hidden among the cedars, and the wooden structure exudes a quaint and warm atmosphere.

A string of wind chimes was hung at the gate, making crisp tinkling sounds when the breeze blew.

As soon as I opened the door, a warm breath hit me in the face, dispelling the coldness of the journey.

The owner of the B&B, Genbei Kitamura, and his wife Kayo Kitamura were already waiting at the door to greet us.

They were a spirited old couple. Genbei had a smile on his face and his beard was neatly trimmed but gray, while Kayo was wearing an apron and had a warm smile.

"Welcome, welcome! The snow scenery is so beautiful today. It's a blessing that you can come to our place in such weather!"

Genbei said enthusiastically, helping to carry everyone's luggage.

Chapter 359: Arranging Beds

"Thank you so much."

Xiaolan bowed politely, and Sonoko followed her with a smile: "I heard that you have hot springs here, and the legend of the snow woman, so we came here specially to see it!"

Jia Dai smiled with her eyes curved: "Oh, then you have come to the right place. The legend of the Snow Woman is our signature story here, and there will be a special projection show tonight!"

After some greetings, Maori and his group were taken to their room.

The room is spacious and tidy, with Japanese-style tatami laid flatly, and pine trees and snow in the courtyard can be seen outside the paper door.

Maori relaxed his neck, put his luggage casually in the corner, lit a cigarette, and looked quite comfortable.

"This place is nice."

Maori commented while smoking a cigarette.

Xiaolan and Sonoko had already relaxed in the room, while Conan and Haibara Ai were sitting aside, watching TV bored.

A movie about a snow woman was playing on TV. In the picture, a beautiful woman with a cold face and skin as white as snow whispered softly: "Even if my body disappears, my soul will always be here waiting for you..."

"Wow, what a beautiful line." Xiaolan exclaimed.

"This snow girl is so beautiful, and her acting skills are also good."

Sonoko also echoed, staring at the screen with bright eyes, as if attracted by the mysterious atmosphere.

Mao Li glanced lazily at the TV and said: "The actors are good-looking, but their acting skills need to be honed."

He flicked the ash off his cigarette, looking disapproving.

When it comes to acting, Kogoro Mouri is a master and he has captured his temperament to perfection.

At this moment, there was a slight mechanical sound at the door, and a small puppet doll staggered in holding a teacup.

It has a small body, wears a small hat, and holds a tray with several cups of hot tea neatly placed on it.

The puppet doll moved clumsily but was extremely cute, and came to them step by step.

"Wow--!"

Xiaolan was startled and almost hid behind him. She patted her chest and asked, "What is this?"

Mao Li showed an expression of great interest. He leaned over and looked at the puppet carefully.

Conan and Huihara Ai had no interest in this thing. Huihara yawned and whispered, "Things of this level are just simple mechanical principles."

Conan shrugged and agreed nonchalantly: "Yeah, you want to scare people with something so trivial?"

At this time, Kitamura Genbei and Kayo walked in happily, and they couldn't stop laughing when they saw their reactions.

"Haha, the puppet doll is used to serve tea to guests. It's just a little gimmick of ours. It won't scare you, right?" Genbei asked with a smile.

Xiaolan patted her chest and said with lingering fear: "It was really scary, but it was quite interesting."

Sonoko excitedly moved closer to the puppet doll: "Wow, this is so cute! You guys have something really interesting here!"

Mao Li smiled, took the teacup from the puppet doll, and took a sip of tea. "This B&B is really unique."

Seeing that the guests were very satisfied, Mr. and Mrs. Genbei also showed a satisfied expression.

"That's good, that's good. Tonight's hot springs and the Snow Girl Legend will give you even more surprises."

Kayo said with a smile, then pulled Genbei out: "You guys take a good rest first, and call us if you need anything."

……

In the large room of the B&B, there is soft tatami, and snowflakes are falling gently outside the window.

The atmosphere in the house was lively and ambiguous.

Everyone gathered together to discuss the arrangements of rooms and beds.

"Well, there are so many people here, so it doesn't matter if everyone sleeps wherever they want."

Maori casually lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall with a lazy look on his face.

At this moment, Sonoko suddenly showed a sly smile, moved closer to Maori and took his arm: "Uncle Maori, why don't I sleep with you? Anyway, there is an empty bed, so it doesn't matter if there is one more person."

She blinked, Mao Li raised an eyebrow, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but before he could say anything, Xiaolan's face was as red as a ripe apple: "Zonoko! What are you talking about?"

She hurriedly grabbed Sonoko's arm, almost dragged her to the side, and forced her towards another room.

"We girls are in the same room, so you better behave yourself!"

Xiaolan blushed and scolded in a low voice. Sonoko laughed so hard that she fell over, as if to say, "I just like to see you panic."

After the two left, before Maori stood up, Huihara Ai beside him had already gently tugged at his sleeve and looked at him with a pair of soft eyes like a deer: "Uncle, can I sleep with you? I'm afraid of the dark..."

Maori looked down at her and saw that Huihara Ai looked innocent and pitiful, so he naturally agreed: "Of course, Ai-chan, sleep with me!"

How nice it is to be able to secretly do something I like at night.

Conan's eyes twitched wildly: Big sister, you are the cold-blooded scientist 'Shirley' of the Black Organization! How can you act so cute? !

Haibara Ai caught Conan's expression, blushed slightly, and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.

She turned her head and leaned against Mao Li, saying coquettishly, "Uncle, that's great. You are indeed the gentlest adult in the world."

Xiaolan at the side said with a smile: "Dad, I didn't expect Ai-chan to be so attached to you. She usually looks like a little adult, but in this situation, she still acts like a child."

Maori touched her head, smiled and made eye contact with Xiaoai, and deliberately said to Xiaolan: "Xiaoai is a child after all, there is nothing wrong with sleeping with me."

Xiaolan has no objection, because in her eyes, Sonoko will still be targeting her father, but Ai will not do that, after all, Ai is still a "child".

Little did they know that Ai had already been eaten up by Maori!

Conan, who knew Haibara Ai's true identity, felt his scalp tingling, and there was only one voice in his mind: What is going on!

"Don't stand there and get in the way, kid." Maori glanced at Conan who was in a daze, and casually pointed to the cupboard in the corner of the room, "Go sleep there, it saves space."

"Ah?!" Conan suddenly came back to his senses from the shock, his face full of disbelief, "Why should I sleep in the cupboard?"

Mao Li didn't bother to pay attention to him. "Whatever I arrange is what it is. As a boy, you have to learn to accept the hard life!"

Haibara looked at Conan's devastated appearance with a smile on his face, a hint of mischief flashing in his eyes.

Conan walked to the cupboard with gritted teeth, opened the door with an angry look on his face and went in.

The couch was relatively soft, but he complained with a feeling of reluctance: "I am a great worker, Fuji Shinichi, how come I have to sleep in the cupboard..."

Conan lay in the closet looking at the ceiling and rolled his eyes helplessly: What a ridiculous development, I'm really screwed.

Chapter 360: Snow Girl's Actor

As the night deepens, the wooden fireplace in the B&B lobby crackles, filling the room with warmth.

Just as Maori and his group were resting, footsteps were heard outside the door.

The boss, Kitamura Genbei, and the proprietress Kitamura Kayo came out and greeted the guests warmly.

"Hey, Miss Kinoshita, Miss Yoko, welcome, welcome!"

The boss greeted the visitor with a smile.

There were two guests standing at the door. One was Akiko Kinoshita, who was famous for playing the role of "Snow Woman". She was wearing a white fur collar coat, long curly hair, and delicate makeup. Her cold and beautiful temperament made people think of her as the legend of Snow Woman.

Standing next to her is her stunt double, Asanuma Yoko. Although she is dressed a little simply, she has soft features and a restrained temperament, and is also a rare beauty.

"Ms. Mingzi is here! You are really punctual."
