Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

It is true that her father died of pneumonia, but her own pneumonia was not serious, and the doctor said it was curable.

Judging from the forged suicide note, Yoko Asanuma's complete plan was to create the illusion that Akiko Kinoshita had committed suicide.

Koizumi Akako explained everything to the confused Kinoshita Akiko.

"In other words, Mr. Lin saved me..."

"Hmm. You could say that."

"Where did he go? I want to thank him in person."

"He went to find the Snow Woman?"

"Snow Woman? Huh? Aren't I one?"

"I'm talking about the real Yuki-onna (snow woman)."

"???".

505. "Yoko" is dead.

IO Yin Qisi_(V) Guilt seems to be a study of the ^ 麇,

On the snow-covered mountainside, Lin Xiaofeng was striding forward.

If Yoko Asanuma were caught in a blizzard, she certainly wouldn't choose to climb upwards immediately, so the search and rescue priority there would be very low.

After much hardship, Lin Xiaofeng finally climbed step by step to the high white ridge.

After arriving at the vicinity of the mission location, Lin Xiaofeng leaned on a spruce tree beside him, panting heavily.

Walking in the snow is very strenuous, and even without a blizzard, it is extremely difficult to get here.

Lin Xiaofeng straightened up slightly and scanned the snow-covered ground in front of him.

Six slightly short spruce trees grew on the gently sloping snow, and at first glance, there were no signs of any animal activity on them.

However, behind one of the spruce trees, some unusual colors adorned the white snow.

Lin Xiaofeng ran over to check and found that there were two sky-blue skis stuck unevenly at an angle on the snow.

Lin Xiaofeng was familiar with these two skis; they were the same ones that Asanuma Yoko had used yesterday!

Could it be that Yoko Asanuma returned after rescuing Akiko Kinoshita and left, and came here on her skis?

However, the terrain here is higher than the woods in front of the ski resort, making it absolutely impossible to come up on skis during a blizzard.

It's possible that he was carrying skis, possibly to make it easier to descend the mountain and escape police pursuit.

but……

Lin Xiaofeng looked around but did not find any trace of Yoko Asanuma nearby.

However, at that moment, a figure covered in bruises slowly emerged from behind the huge rock covered in snow.

It dragged its bare feet, scorched by the extreme cold and snow, moving as slowly as a zombie with low mobility in a movie.

On the frostbitten, bluish-black skin, a tattered pink ski suit hung haphazardly around the neck and elbows.

This is what it was called "she" not long ago.

……

In the woods near the ski resort, search and rescue teams and police are gradually expanding the search area.

Suddenly, a search and rescue team member blew his whistle, summoning nearby people over.

"Did you find anything?"

"Look, look, look..."

The young search and rescue team member's sudden speech difficulties aroused the displeasure of a senior search and rescue team member standing next to him.

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!"

Under the orders of their seniors, the terrified young team member pointed tremblingly at the snow-covered ground ahead.

The senior looked in the direction the finger was pointing and saw a huge claw mark clearly visible on the snow five meters away.

It was a claw mark resembling a human hand, but far sharper and larger than a human palm.

Because it is so huge, with even the smallest finger almost as tall as an adult's shoulder, the details on its surface are so exposed that it appears strangely distorted and ugly.

Having spent many years in search and rescue operations in the snow-capped mountains, this veteran of the search and rescue team had heard all sorts of legends about snow monsters, such as the Yuki-onna (snow woman).

At this moment, the only legend that his brain could recall matching it was that one.

"Snow, Snow Monster!"

"It's a snow monster!"

The investigation came to an abrupt end.

……

"Hey!"

Lin Xiaofeng turned around somewhat slowly and saw a member of the search and rescue team running towards him.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The search and rescue team members looked at Lin Xiaofeng, who was sitting in the middle of the vast snowfield, with puzzlement.

Fortunately, this team member lacked observation skills; otherwise, he would have been even more confused if he had noticed that there were no footprints around Lin Xiaofeng.

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

"I'm a tourist from nearby, and I'm lost."

"Lost..." The team member looked Lin Xiaofeng up and down, but didn't ask any more questions. "Come with me."

Following behind his teammates, Lin Xiaofeng returned to the woods near the ski resort.

In the woods, more search and rescue team members and police officers were gathered in a clearing, while some professionals were taking pictures of the ground. Lin Xiaofeng, like a curious child, ignored his teammates' attempts to stop him and went over to see what was happening.

When Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of the snow, he realized that there was a huge claw mark on the snow.

The search and rescue team and police were discussing the paw prints in the snow.

.... .. 0

"A Yeti, it must be a Yeti!"

"I've seen it in foreign novels! I think it's called Wengerdy!"

"Don't be superstitious about those things. This is very likely a new species that humans have never discovered before, and it has great scientific research value!"

"If we can catch it and hand it over to the country, we'll all be heroes!"

"Great!"

The crowd was either fearful or excited, with only a very small number able to remain completely calm.

For example, the captain of the search and rescue team.

Judging from the size of the claw prints on the ground, this creature was at least twenty meters tall.

Creatures of this level are simply beyond the capabilities of their ordinary search and rescue team to capture.

So just now, he reported the situation to his superiors and asked them to notify the Self-Defense Forces to come to the scene.

As for these search and rescue teams, all they can do now is find as many footprints as possible to determine the direction the "monster" left in.

Before determining what kind of creature it was, the search and rescue team leader could only refer to it as a "monster".

"You won't be able to catch it."

Lin Xiaofeng poured cold water on the idea, deciding to go back. Asanuma Yoko was already dead; there was no way to save her now.

506. Lin Xiaofeng is a gentleman.

Back at the guesthouse, Lin Xiaofeng went straight to his room to sleep without saying a word.

Koizumi Akako asked Lin Xiaofeng if he had found Yoko, but Lin Xiaofeng simply went to sleep and ignored her.

"That wretched Lin Xiaofeng! He actually disobeyed his master's orders and fell asleep on his own!"

When Conan saw Lin Xiaofeng suddenly return, he wanted to ask Lin Xiaofeng if he had gone up the mountain to look for Asanuma Yoko, and if there had been any results.

When Lin Xiaofeng woke up, she found that Koizumi Akako had been watching over her.

"Have you been with me the whole time, Miss Akako?"

"Of course, who else could it be but me?"

"Thank you... I'm just too tired, it's not that I don't want to talk to you."

"Then can you tell me what exactly happened to Yoko Asanuma?"

"She died; she encountered a snow disaster."

"Ah...should I tell Akiko?"

"Yes. Of course we should tell Akiko."

Lin Xiaofeng then changed the subject and asked Koizumi Akako what day of the week it was.

"It's the weekend today..."

Upon hearing the words "420," Lin Xiaofeng was terrified.

Lin Xiaofeng once again ignored the peculiar laws of time in this world.

And today is the night of the full moon that can boost Koizumi Akako's magic!

"Wait a minute, tonight is the night of the full moon, and we promised to save Yoko Okino."

"Yes. But why are you panicking? Kinoshita Akiko is the Snow Woman."

"Eh? Zun Du is fake Du."

"Yes."

Koizumi Akako nodded: "It just so happens that the death of one 'Yoko' can take the place of the life of another 'Yoko'."

Koizumi Akako found Kinoshita Akiko and told her about her death. Upon hearing the news, Kinoshita Akiko burst into tears.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Xiaofeng collected Kinoshita Akiko's tears; these are the tears of the Snow Woman.

……

The two returned to Tokyo, to Koizumi Akako's Scarlet Devil Mansion.

In the crimson room, Koizumi Akako, dressed in a red robe, paced anxiously back and forth in the corridor.

Looking up at the window, the soft moonlight shone on her beautiful face.

Tonight is the night of the full moon, a night that will boost my magical power.

In Japanese mythology, the Yuki-onna (snow woman) possesses a stunningly beautiful female appearance and is skilled at seducing men. She can freeze men while kissing them and steal their souls for her own use.

However, according to the family magic book of the Red Magic Clan, the Snow Woman does have a humanoid form, but her appearance is as ugly as a monster and she moves slowly.

It is said that the Snow Woman's form is related to a wicked god worshipped by the indigenous people of the Arctic Circle, which is why the Snow Woman is extremely difficult to find outside of the Arctic Circle.

To this day, Koizumi Akako has never seen the Snow Woman.

In fact, not only the Yuki-onna, but also many other magical materials recorded in the family's magic book, were things that Koizumi Akako had never seen in person.

Now that they had the snow water from the Yuki-onna, Koizumi Akako, as promised, began preparing to create a high-level curse potion.

From the family records accumulated by the Red Magic Family, Koizumi Akako discovered the origin of the curse ritual used by Fujie Akiyoshi.

While preparing to make the potion, Koizumi Akako explained to Lin Xiaofeng.

"This is a type of voodoo spell popular in West Africa, where a sect called Voodoo is prevalent. This voodoo spell is Voodoo magic."

"Besides the double curse, the Voodoo religion's most skilled technique is creating resurrected corpses."

"The sorcerers in this sect can resurrect the dead through witchcraft and make the dead their slaves."

"It is said that such power comes from Baron Samadhi, the god of death worshipped by the Voodoo religion."

As she spoke, Koizumi Akako casually tossed a page from a picture book to Lin Xiaofeng to look at.

On this old hand-drawn album is a thin skeleton wearing a top hat, an evening gown, and a monocle.

A skeleton dressed as a gentleman...
