Chapter 500 UC Shock Department
"The snow is really getting heavier." After tightening her clothes, Mao Lilan, who was sitting in the SUV, uneasily pulled up the collar of Conan in her arms. , and looked at a few other people, "Fortunately, we rented a few cars when we went up the mountain."
If they were like other tourists, they chose to take the bus to the foot of the mountain and then carry their luggage. If they come up, I'm afraid they will now have to carry large and small bags and walk in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
That being said, under the current weather, driving on a mountain road like this will bring a lot of difficulties.
Fortunately, there are many supermen in their team.
"Mr. Amuro, that's amazing." Shuichi Akai, who was asleep with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and heard the emotion from Mao Lilan who was sitting in the back row. He glanced at the rearview mirror wordlessly, "In this kind of environment, how can you volunteer yourself?" It’s difficult to be the lead car, isn’t it?”
Some not-so-pleasant experiences appeared in her mind along with these words. Akai Shuichi instinctively reached out and grabbed the armrest of the car door and looked at it. He was silent as he skilfully used the rear lights to signal the vehicles behind him to slow down and turn left.
"Pfft..." It was obvious where Akai Shuichi's incomprehensible expression came from. Karasawa in the driver's seat couldn't help but chuckle twice, and then reluctantly explained despite Mao Lilan's doubtful eyes. , "Next time, if you take his car in normal weather and tell him that you are in an emergency and you are late, he will understand."
That is, because there are several primary school students in his car and Dr. Ali, plus he has to be responsible for piloting on this road section with low visibility, complicated road conditions, and poor visual observation. Otherwise...
Don't say it's snowy and mountainous, you give it to him On an icy road, he drifted anyway.
"Eh?"
"It seems to be over there." Pointing to the villa that slowly showed its shape in front of it and stood silently in the wind and snow, Tang Ze did not let the curious Mao Lilan continue to ask questions. He reminded everyone in the car, "It's very windy and snowy, so be careful where you step."
People in the car couldn't help but look in the direction he pointed.
At the end of the road, a tall villa appeared in their sight, standing there alone among mountains and trees.
As the landlord said, this is obviously a very large place. Just looking at it from the front, you can easily see the space of two and a half floors. Although it is not as large as the floor area, it is a bit outrageous. Yoneka-cho 2-chome is already a rare and spacious place.
"Well, a spacious villa in the snowy mountains, a snowstorm and stranded tourists..." Looking at it, Tang Ze let out a sigh, "It feels like something is about to happen."
"Don't say it. Come on, stop the car!" Mao Lilan, who was holding Conan, suddenly tightened her grip, causing Conan to scream in pain, "Hey, there don't seem to be any other cars in front of the villa. Didn’t you say that a colleague who was with them came over in advance?”
Except for the entrance and living room, the rest of the house was completely dark. It didn’t look like someone had come here in advance and made any preparations.
Not just a few of them have this question.
“There are no other cars at the door, but Mr. Sugiyama can’t come up on foot without driving...it’s not easy to find a location here.” Standing at the entrance, patting the snow falling on himself, he drank a few cups The teachers of the household primary school were also very confused.
"Maybe we parked nearby and he walked up on his own." Kohei Shimoda shrugged his shoulders. "It's unlikely that he planned the trip himself and didn't come by himself, right? He gave it to me last night. Call me and ask me to rent the car first.”
“That’s even weirder,” Ryuichi Sakai muttered even more, “How is he going to act if he asks us to rent a car and doesn’t come with us. ?”
“Who knows.” After finding the replacement slippers, Shimoda Kohei moved his hands and feet and looked at the living room in front of him. “He has money to rent such a luxurious villa. He may have made a fortune. Maybe you have some money, or you have some plans.”
“Hey, when you go on a trip, don’t you communicate the travel expenses in advance?” Conan, who had changed his shoes, couldn’t help but feel strange when he heard the content of their conversation. Traveling to such a far place to ski, the expenses on the road must be quite high.”
“A few of us ski every year, but we don’t have a specific skiing area. In the past, Mr. Shimoda was usually in charge of this part. , he will count the number of people in advance, and after the cost calculation is completed, everyone will share it equally..." Minori Nakamura walked towards the living room with them and explained to them, "This year is strange, we only received information for counting people. But they never told us the specific travel time and cost. Then yesterday, tickets to the ski resort were placed on everyone’s table.”
"You'll know when Sugiyama comes over and ask him, right?" Yonehara Koko shrugged nonchalantly, "It's impossible for a kind-hearted person to suddenly invite us to come and play for free."
"Fortunately, this time We don't have to pay the entire fee." Concerned about the rich woman standing not far away, Shimoda Kohei muttered in a low voice and controlled his voice, "If we want to rent such an expensive villa equally, I will. It looks better than Sugiyama."
"But I have to say that the conditions are really good!" They walked into the living room, and several people became excited, "There is heating, water and electricity are available, and there are "Where's the fireplace?"
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko raised her head blankly and blinked for a moment before realizing what they were excited about, and raised her eyebrows in confusion, "Ordinary level? But it should be better than the B&B at the foot of the mountain, I guess.”
I guess this sentence is very essential.
The drivers responsible for parking the car followed in at this time. Tang Ze glanced at the very determined look on Suzuki Sonoko's face and could only say that this was the case.
When people run out and encounter various murders, the starting price is for a two-story villa. Your luxury is not as luxurious as the Kudo House, so it’s okay.
"Let's keep an eye on those children first." Toru Amuro, who walked in with Karasawa, shook his head helplessly, "This house has at least ten or twenty rooms, even if they give up. , I won’t run outside in the wind and snow, and wandering around in the house is enough to give me a headache.”
He was responsible for driving Dr. A Li and four elementary school students, and pretended that they happened to be traveling together. They acted with them, but it was obvious that they were several tourists including Hoshikawa Teru and others.
Based on his rich experience in various professions, even among the noisy children, these children are the noisiest and the ones who can tear down the house the most.
He also had to concentrate on observing the road conditions and providing timely signal instructions to the cars behind him. He really wanted to find some sound-isolating headphones to wear.
"No nonsense, everyone." Mihara Koko, who was walking in front, turned his head, his face was stern, and he opened his eyes and entered the strict mode, "Although I am not a teacher in your school, it is against the rules here. As for discipline, I will find a way to notify your school and let you read your self-reflection on the radio. "Hahaha, Teacher Mihara still has this style." Before a few naughty children could question her. Whether the words were true or not, Suzuki Sonoko laughed out loud, "Kudo was punished like this before because he was naughty in class. Right Xiaolan?"
"Well..." She is responsible for this. The unshirkable responsibility, specifically the person to whom Kudo Shinichi passed the note, Mao Lilan lowered her head in embarrassment, "Actually, the teacher is not very fierce..."
Her words were basically He was ignored by several elementary school students who were already frightened.
For the naughty primary school students, the primary school teacher is undoubtedly a very scary existence. The three primary school students who were about to discover the secrets along the corridor from room to room were suddenly frightened and did not dare to move.
After calming down several children, Yonehara Koko breathed a sigh of relief.
There are only a few steps left in her plan, and she cannot let it be exposed at this time because of the unintentional actions of a few children.
Then, the only thing left in her plan——
Mihara Koko looked out the window at the deepening night and the snowflakes piled on the window lattice, and took a gentle breath.
Although things happened suddenly and there were many more people than originally planned, the other party must be able to understand it, right?
Almost at the same time that she was distracted and looking out the window worriedly, Karasawa, Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai all turned their heads, stared at her back, and then exchanged words. Eyes.
After instinctively looking at his companion who had the same reaction and expressing a signal that something was not right about this person, Toru Amuro reacted belatedly and glanced at Shuichi Akai strangely.
The more he looked at it, the weirder he became. Not only was it strange for Rei Fangtani, but it was also to the point where Bourbon couldn't help but test him when he met him.
Who is this guy?
"This Teacher Yonehara is not as simple as she said." She said something to bring their focus back, and Karasawa gestured to the other people with his chin, "It does seem like they are here for the first time, but what she said, It’s obvious that he is a little familiar with this house.”
Seeing Toru Amuro skillfully enter the intelligence worker mode, he was stunned again when he saw Akai Shuichi dressed as Iwai, his expression was confused and suspicious. Standing up, God knows how much energy Tang Ze spent on this joyful scene to hold back the smile that burst out of his mouth.
"...According to my observations this afternoon, she is the organizer of the trip." Reluctantly withdrawing his attention from Iwai Munehisa, Amuro Toru put this inexplicable feeling away. Prioritizing the situation at hand, "But she has been trying to deny this, which is very strange in itself." Akai Shuichi also nodded and said in a deep voice: "Although she seems to be playing normally, in fact The state is a bit tense and I can’t relax.”
That’s not it. After all, no matter how talented the criminals are, they will still feel unfamiliar when doing this kind of thing for the first time. .
In fact, even if this is not the world of Miss Conch, but a work that advances time normally, the murder rate per 100,000 people here is astonishing.
According to the ecological conditions of Miwa Town, generally speaking, after the first time they do it, they will be caught on the spot by the detective and start crying and telling their story. It is difficult to have the opportunity to review the play. , iterative upgrade.
Therefore, although there are many criminals with outstanding talents, the detective industry is limited by the involution and is always suppressed. Therefore, it is a pity that the city style is slightly inferior to Gotham. .
“Ding dong——”
Unaware of what the people behind her were discussing, Mihara Koko finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the doorbell.
The purpose of all her plans today is to make everything known to the world, to tell the grievances of the children who can no longer speak.
If this person doesn't come, her wish will be in vain.
“Oh, Mr. Sugiyama, this busy man is finally here.” Minori Nakamura, who had no idea what was about to happen, smiled, “If the villa costs too much, let this person who is good at making decisions The guy takes care of everything..."
As she said this, she ran to the door in small steps on her slippers.
“Here we come, right away——Teacher Sugiyama, you... hmm?”
Opening the door and seeing the man standing in the wind and snow, the smile on Nakamura Minori's face stopped.
"Long time no see, old friends." Raising the brim of his hat, the man outside the room raised his thin face and looked at the shocked teachers who were originally preparing to greet their late colleagues and sneered. He said, "It's so windy and snowy outside, why don't you invite me in?"
Nakamura Minori's hands shook, and she instinctively took two steps back, instead of continuing to block the door, so the man outside Naturally, he stepped forward in two steps and squeezed into the house.
"The person who informed me of coming here said it really well. You guys arrived... quite well..." Seeing the scene in the room clearly, Sentoshi couldn't help but be startled.
This is not neat, it is a bit too neat.
The room was full of people, old and young, male and female.
Everyone had just entered the house not long ago. They had already checked the lighting fixtures and had just turned on the heating. They had not had time to explore the house carefully.
This time the doorbell rang, everyone was attracted by the movement at the door, and now they all looked in the direction in front of the door.
At a glance, the people on the third floor and the third floor choked back some of the provocative words he wanted to blurt out.
Damn it, what happened to the guy who provided him with the intelligence report? Didn’t he agree that only people related to that incident would be here today?
"Who are you?" Suzuki Sonoko, with her arms folded, looked at the uninvited guest, her eyes fell on his mean, thin face with a hooked nose, and she frowned.
That’s it. Watching too many handsome guys will definitely have sequelae.
Needless to say the people they traveled with, even the group of Mr. Yonehara’s current colleagues they met were not handsome or good-looking, but they were still thick-browed and big-eyed, and could be praised for their good looks.
Having gotten used to this kind of visual atmosphere, when I suddenly saw an unpleasant-looking uncle, I instinctively didn’t want to take a second look at him.
"...My name is Sentoshi, and I am a newspaper reporter." After discovering the disparity in the number of people, Sentoshi's temperament of an independent reporter who was full of fear of heaven and earth, he immediately restrained himself. For the time being, he introduced himself seriously, "I'm just a catcher, and I rely on some gossip to make a living running news. Three years ago, I received some care from these friends."
Reporter, three years ago.
The expressions of the teachers suddenly changed, and they clearly captured this keyword, and everyone secretly noted this keyword in their hearts.
Although I don’t know why, looking at this scene, I feel that it will inevitably be used, so I’d better write it down first.
Facing the scrutinizing gazes of others, Sakai Takashi twitched and couldn't help but step forward and scolded: "What are you doing here? That's all in the past."
Suntonshi turned his eyes, looked at his frown, and sneered.
If he has learned anything from being a reporter for so many years, it is that reporters should be more skeptical than veteran detectives when facing suspects.
He has yet to figure out what happened three years ago.
There must be some big news behind this, and as long as he catches a little bit of the tail, he will be confident to create the next topic that will shock society.
"I came here because someone told me, 'Tonight, something will happen here.'" With some malice, Sendons bared his teeth and looked at the few people he had interacted with. teacher.
"What do you mean, something will happen?" Realizing that not saying anything would be a bit unsociable, Yonehara Koko interrupted at this time.
"I just wanted to know what it meant, so I came here." Sundoshi found a pair of slippers and stepped into the entrance. "I parked the car in the woods to wait for you. It really made it easier for me to wait. Ah. So it’s not too much for me to stay here for one night, right?”
“Hey, wait for me...” Sakai Ryuichi blocked his way, trying to stop his arrogant behavior.
"Why, don't you dare to let me in?" Sentoshi, who skillfully used his professional advantages, raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth, "What do you think of this title, 'Acupido Elementary School teacher in a huge snowstorm' The reason behind refusing to host our reporter...'"
It's heartwarming, right?
Looking speechlessly at this purely UC shocked reporter, Karasawa watched him pass by the speechless Ryuichi Sakai and walked into the corridor. He shook his head and stepped forward. One step, blocking his way again.
"What you said is very good, and I agree with it, Mr. Suntonshi." Tang Ze shrugged and said innocently, "But this villa was not booked by a few of them, and the current main residents are also not these few. Teacher, I don’t object if you want to occupy one of our rooms, but you still have to pay the fee.”
“You, you are...” Sentoshi looked at Tang intently. Ze's face frowned.
Before he could launch an attack or express his dissatisfaction, Tang Ze jumped in and said: "Shocked! Humanity can also be seen in natural disasters. A reporter from a well-known newspaper refused to pay the travel expenses for a B&B due to extreme weather. What's going on? What's going on? The editor also wants to know. "
Are you playing catch-up with me?
Here, learn about the self-media nonsense generator.
Sentoshi, who was silenced by the magic: "..."
