Recently, with the addition of Conan, the detective's reputation has gradually become more famous.

Speaking of which, Kogoro Mori's life seems to have always been at its peak and never fallen.

Chapter 208: Koizumi Hongzi's Divination

Heavy snow was flying in the mountains and forests, and the whistling wind made people feel cold.

The decoration style of the homestay is simple and warm, with wooden floors, dark ceilings, and warm yellow lights, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

The room is furnished with comfortable beds and warm bedding.

Snowflakes fell in the air, making a slight rustling sound, and hot spring vapor filled the air, adding a touch of liveliness to the quiet night.

Xia Chuan and others took a leisurely bath in the hot spring, enjoying the warmth and tranquility brought by the hot spring on a snowy night.

"Hot springs can really sober you up!"

Kogoro Mouri's face turned red, and he choked on two mouthfuls of hot spring water while laughing, causing him to cough continuously.

"Dad, could you be quiet?"

Xiaolan on the other side of the wall was a little dissatisfied. At a time like this, she should be quiet and chat and joke.

Voices like dad's really ruin the mood.

"I know. It's really annoying." Kogoro Mouri muttered softly, then closed his eyes and immersed himself in the bath.

Conan was taking a bath very quietly, with a faint frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

Xia Chuan asked curiously: "Conan, what are you thinking about?"

Could it be that Conan had already discovered the clues before the substitute even started committing the crime?

That's a bit too much.

“Uncle Xiachuan, when you returned to the room just now, Miss Yoko, that is Miss Akiko’s stand-in.

Ms. Yoko said it was her first time to visit this hot spring hotel, but she actually knew where the bathroom was. I was a little concerned about this.”

Conan doggy-paddled over to Xia Chuan and continued, "And she said later that she wanted to live in the room with the persimmon tree.

why?

It is obvious that at this time, only dead branches and leaves are left on the persimmon tree, and it is impossible to appreciate it.

People who come here for the first time won’t know that there is a persimmon tree outside the room.”

"Kid, you have too many questions.

The layout of many homestays is similar, and the bathrooms are usually at the end of the corridor, which is understandable.

As for the persimmon tree, maybe the other party had passed by the entrance of the B&B before and saw the persimmon tree, so it was normal. "

Kogoro Mouri closed his eyes and overturned Conan's reasoning one by one.

This little brat has so many questions. You can know the answers to these kinds of questions if you just think about them a little.

As expected, children are still children and can’t even understand this.

"That's true, but..."

Although Conan didn't want to admit it, what Uncle Maori said did make sense.

Besides, there has been no murder here, and I feel like I am just looking for trouble when I am curious about these things.

"Although that's true, Conan's observation skills are indeed very strong. He needs to keep it up so that he can help Uncle Maori."

"understood--"

Conan responded crisply and rolled his eyes implicitly. Who is helping whom?

Xia Chuan smiled and was about to say something else when he suddenly heard a scream coming from the women's bath next door.

It's Xiaolan!

"what happened?"

Kogoro Mouri and Conan were startled at the same time, their expressions changed and they looked towards the partition.

"Just now, I saw a figure in a white robe appear on the opposite hillside through the gap in the partition facing the outside of the hot spring bath. It was a snow woman, it must be a snow woman. The white robe is exactly the same as the one in the Snow Woman's Love that Dad Conan watched."

Upon hearing this, Conan and Maori Kogoro immediately went to the partition facing outwards of the men's bath and each found a small gap to look outside.

The partitions of the homestay are made of wood, which will expand or contract due to heat or cold over time, so there are many gaps.

At this moment, the two people's actions looked extremely obscene. If they were not inside the hot spring, it would look like they were peeping at others taking a hot spring bath.

“Do you still see it now?”

Kogoro Maori looked for a long time, but didn't see anything strange except the white snow-capped mountains, let alone people.

"Well, it seems to be gone..."

Xiaolan's tone was a little uncertain, but she indeed saw no figure. The white robe just now had disappeared, and there was only endless white snow on the snow-capped mountains.

"Sister Xiaolan, I didn't see it either. Could I have seen it wrongly?" Anya lay in the gap and looked for a long time, but saw nothing.

"Maybe you saw it wrong. It's still snowing outside, and the wind and snow affect your vision. It's normal to see it wrong."

Kogoro Maori breathed a sigh of relief, comforted his daughter, and returned to the pool to continue enjoying it.

On the opposite side, Joel and Anya began to comfort the frightened Xiaolan.

"Sister Yue Er, can the three of us share a room tonight?"

Xiaolan held Yuel's hand tightly, her heart beating fast.

She always felt that the Snow Girl was nearby, watching her.

The Snow Girl must have discovered her peeping and that’s why she suddenly disappeared.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, why are you so listless?"

Conan realized it was a false alarm, and went back to the hot spring, only to find that Natsukawa was not frightened by Xiaolan's scream, nor did he lean over the partition to look out like the two of them did. When a normal person hears such a strange thing, shouldn't he be curious and join in the fun?

it's wired.

"Oh, I can probably guess that Xiaolan is dazzled.

After all, I was already afraid of ghosts, and Mrs. Beicun added a wave of material to it, so it was normal for me to suddenly feel dizzy at this time."

"Really, Eri and I are indifferent to these legends about monsters and demons. I really don't know why Xiaolan is afraid of these, and I don't know who she inherited them from."

Kogoro Mouri had a headache. Xiaolan was good in everything except this one obvious weakness.

It’s understandable if you’re afraid when you’re a child, after all, you’re mentally immature. But now you’re 17 or 18 years old, and it’s a bit worrying if you’re still like this.

This was just a small episode during the hot spring bath. After taking a bath, the few people returned to the room.

Conan and Ania stayed in the living room to do their homework.

Because of Conan's presence, Anya wrote extremely quickly and finished the newly bought homework in less than two hours.

"Great, I can go skiing tomorrow~"

Anya kicked Conan away excitedly, and carefully put the homework into her schoolbag.

"Really."

Conan was speechless. He looked at the clock and found that it was almost twelve o'clock, so he hurried back to bed.

Because of Anya, tonight's plans were completely disrupted, and Conan could only hope to enjoy himself tomorrow.

......

The next day.

Akiko Kinoshita and Yoko Asanuma took sun protection measures early and walked out of the B&B carrying their ski equipment.

During this period, Conan looked at Yoko Asanuma several times in a subtle way.

Although his suspicion of Asanuma Yoko was reduced a lot after Uncle Maori's explanation yesterday, he still felt a little uneasy.

There is always a feeling that something is going to happen.

"Conan, do you like that big sister?" Aniya asked with a smile.

"No way... don't talk nonsense!" Conan's voice suddenly increased, and then he looked at Xiaolan with a blushing face, and found that she was chatting with Yoel and was not paying attention to him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course Anya knew, after all, she could hear the other person's thoughts.

But she just wanted to see Conan being embarrassed, look at his panicked eyes just now, this is a normal child, okay?

It was skiing time during the day, so a few people came to the ski resort together.

At this time, there were already a lot of people at the ski resort.

The sun is not so scorching in the morning, which is when the ski resort is busiest. From time to time, you can see novices falling and experts showing off their amazing skiing skills.

Among them, some people even performed a 360-degree turn in the air.

"Siguoyi!" Aniya tugged at Xiachuan's clothes: "Father, I want to learn that!"

Xia Chuan had cold sweat on his forehead. He fixed Anya's skis on her feet and said, "First learn to crawl, then learn to walk! You have to walk one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time!"

As he spoke, Xia Chuan moved his gaze over and found that the man who did a 360-degree turn looked familiar.

"Hey, isn't this that Kaito guy?"

When Natsukawa noticed the other person, Kaito also noticed the gaze and turned to look over here.

When Kaito found out it was Natsukawa, his expression suddenly froze. Then he said something to Nakamori Aoko, who was standing unsteadily next to him, and then walked over.

"Brother Xiachuan, are you coming to the ski resort too?"

Kaito greeted Natsukawa, then looked down at Aniya and smiled, "Your daughter is so cute."

"Thank you, brother!" Anya nodded politely, her hand involuntarily reaching for her pocket.

I really want to take a photo with the Kaito brother.

But no, now I’m not dressed up as Kaito Kid, so if I take a photo, I can’t show it off.

"Ania, huh? I'll show you a little magic trick. Watch me~"

Kaito snapped his fingers out of habit, and a white dove appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The white dove landed on his hand, fluttered twice, and stood firm, then looked quietly at Anya.

"Wow, that's amazing! Can you give this pigeon to me?" Anya's face was full of anticipation.

"Ania, this is Kaito's magic item, you can't mess with it."

"It's okay..." Kaito waved his hands, then his face fell: "And this isn't some magic item, it's magic!"

I had no idea whether it was magic or a trick. How could I not understand a magic trick from such a close distance?

Natsukawa complained in his mind and had no intention of continuing to argue with Kaito.

"By the way, why are you here?"

Xia Chuan glanced at Nakamori Aoko who was doing splits and legs together in the distance, and asked quietly, "Are you traveling with your childhood sweetheart? Tell me, are you looking for a guesthouse that allows mixed bathing?"

"No, no!" Kaito waved his hands quickly, feeling that his thoughts had been exposed. He quickly pointed to a few other people in the distance and said, "We are a large group of people who came out to play together. Since Aoko doesn't know how to ski, we thought we could come here to improve our skiing skills."

After the last class skiing competition, Nakamori Aoko has been worried about her skiing skills, so this time she specifically asked Kaito to come out and train with her.

In order to prevent Kaito from feeling like it was a date, she also invited a few classmates to join her.

"Hey, there's Hongzi-sister too!"

Anya saw Hongzi in the distance and realized that she was also looking at her, so she reached out and greeted her.

Apart from the red magic books that were sold by the pound every month, she still liked Koizumi Akako's Red Magic very much.

Koizumi Hongzi narrowed her eyes, glanced at the group of six people, and sighed in her heart.

It’s these guys again - his magic nemesis.

She could control Lucifer at will, but it had no effect on these people. This was not logical at all. She still hadn't figured it out. She could only think that Xia Chuan was a powerful magician who had used some kind of magic barrier to isolate herself from the rest of the world.

"Hongzi-san, I didn't expect you to be here."

Yoel, who was chatting with Xiaolan nearby, walked up and greeted her.

She didn't know Kaito, but she did know Koizumi Akako. It was probably Koizumi Akako who hit Mori Kogoro's Mercedes with her car at Sanni Temple last time.
