Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 146 These days, is it common for bad guys to expose themselves? (Two in one for subscription)
"May I ask, is one of the people who made the appointment surnamed Maori?"

The boss and the proprietress showed surprised expressions at the same time, and asked, "How do you know?"

Sure enough
Qin Zhibo didn't feel too much surprise, anyway, he could earn an extra side mission on top of the main mission.

After going through so many incidents, Qin Zhibo has gradually seen the fact that performing the main task can always cause side effects.

On the contrary, with these "extra-complicated" incidents, Qin Zhibo's professional skills obtained through the investigation of the corpses are much more abundant.

As long as he maintains this momentum, sooner or later he will achieve full professional proficiency and become No.1 in human history!
So now Qin Zhibo only thinks about one thing.

That is, please make sure to step up!

After checking in, Qin Zhibo picked a room with a window facing the target location.

According to the boss, there is a good-sized ski resort facing the window. People who come here to stay here are for the hot spring bath here and the skiing there.

Although Qin Zhibo knows a little about skiing, he is not very interested.

After the boss introduced the nearby attractions, he was about to leave when Qin Zhibo stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

"Is there anything else you can do?" The boss asked respectfully.

"Actually, I'm a little curious about the legend of the snow girl. Is the legend of the snow girl popular here?"

Why do you say "also"?
Because Qin Zhibo unknowingly recalled his last experience at Shanni Temple, a place where the legend of Wutiangou prevailed.

Since the legend of the fog tengu has been created in the location of the MI-GO event, will this new mysterious creature also create some local legends?

However, the boss's answer made Qin Zhibo a little disappointed.

"Those were all popular legends a long time ago. In this era of technological development, we have never heard of the appearance of a snow girl."

"However, my wife really believes in the existence of Xuenv."

"If you are very interested in the Snow Girl, we can provide you with the TV series "Snow Girl's Love" videotape for free."

The owner of the B&B seems to be a materialist, and obviously doesn't believe much in Xuenv's rhetoric.

So when Qin Zhibo waited for the proprietress to bring the video tape, he asked the same question.

"Snow Girl, of course there is!"

"Since a long time ago, it has been famous for the snow girls who often appear nearby. The snow-white skin, the stunning appearance of human women, and the horror monsters who are good at attracting men to go deep into the snow-capped mountains to kiss them and capture people's souls."

"Maybe tonight, the snow girl here will appear~"

"What? Guest, are you here to find Xue Nu?"

The proprietress's face became more and more gloomy as she spoke, showing a frightening expression of telling ghost stories.

Judging from her good looks, she already knows the essence of the fandom of the old abbot of Shanni Temple, and often scares the tourists who come here by telling these weird stories.

"I'd like to advise you, it's best not to take the initiative to find Xue Nu, especially a strong man like you."

"Maybe the Snow Maiden will take a fancy to you and bring you back to the cave to freeze forever~"

"Oh hoo hoo~"

After the story was finished, the proprietress left with the laughter of the old version of Hongko Koizumi, leaving behind the videotape of "Snow Girl's Love".

Watching the videotape, and then looking up at the clock, I don't know when the Maori family will make their debut.

It would be boring to sit here and wait for the "Grim Reaper" to come to your door, so Qin Zhibo inserted the video tape into the projector and watched the TV series with relish.

"Even if my body disappears, my soul will one day be resurrected at the same time as Bai Xue!"

On the TV, a beautiful-looking woman in white jumped into the lake, and the pale yellow ending credits slowly appeared in the windy and cold sky.

Before I knew it, most of the TV series "Snow Girl's Love" was watched.

Originally, Qin Zhibo expected to get some hints about the main mission from the TV series, but he realized that he was thinking too much.

The story in "Snow Girl's Love" has almost nothing to do with the female monster Snow Girl, but a revenge story of a woman with "Snow" in her name who was framed by her enemies and betrayed by her lover.

In the middle of the story, Xuenv was forced to jump off a cliff and issued a declaration of snow similar to that of Dou E.

After that, she transformed into a ghost to seduce her former enemy, and finally completed the story of revenge.

The whole TV series can be called the ghost version of "The Count of Monte Cristo".

Or the heroine's version of Mo Bullying Girls Poor-turning into a ghost will cost you three thousand lives.

Qin Zhibo felt a little tired of this kind of cool drama where the protagonist was abused, changed his vest, and then took revenge. Now he just wanted to stroll in the corridors, survey the terrain, and prepare for the next murder.

When I came to the corridor, someone just opened the wooden sliding door of the hotel.

Qin Zhibo took a closer look, and although the three of them were covered by the wind and snow, the tightness of their personal information could not be displayed in the field of vision, but they could still be identified from some physical characteristics.

——Striking horns, a tuft of hair hanging down the front of the forehead, and dwarfs who are no one's knees high.

It was Mao Lilan, Mori Kogoro, and Conan.

But this time, Qin Zhibo was finally able to say that sentence with confidence.

"Why are you guys again?"

In the room, Mourilan next to the kotatsu table was enthusiastically peeling oranges as always, but Kogoro Mori and Conan, the son-in-law duo, were not in such a happy mood.

Good family trip, how did you meet this guy again?
And I don't know why, when I heard Qin Zhibo's words "Why are you again", I felt like being sued by the wicked first.

But this time it was indeed Qin Zhibo who came to this homestay first, and he was at a loss.

But now Conan is not worried about anything else, but every time he meets Qin Zhibo, he always feels that he will encounter some murders.

This Qin Zhibo was like a god of death who was unlucky, wherever he went, someone would have an accident.

Even though he is a god of death, he thinks that others are gods of death. Conan reluctantly took out a copy of "Encyclopedia of Fungi Biology" that he had recently asked Dr. A Li to bring from his backpack. Just as he was about to read it, he was heard by the sound from the entrance. to interrupt.

"You are Miss Akiko Kinoshita and Miss Yoko, right? We have been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing this voice, Qin Zhibo immediately felt familiar.

Miss Yoko?

Could it be that Hongko Koizumi told Yoko Okino that the potion lacked the last ingredient, and then Yoko Okino came here in person?

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to get up and go out to check, Mori Kogoro next to him rushed out at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint.

"Miss Yoko! Where is Miss Yoko?"

However, when he rushed to the entrance, Mori Kogoro was immediately disappointed.

This Yoko is not that Yoko!

...

Yoko Asanuma was very excited when she realized that in this remote B&B hotel, passers-by rushed out of the room enthusiastically just by hearing her name.

Since graduating from university to participate in a drama audition, losing to Akiko Kinoshita in the final round, and then becoming a stuntman, I have never enjoyed such eye-catching celebrity treatment.

however--

When Yoko Asanuma was ready and secretly reviewed the technique of signing with the fingers hidden in her sleeves, Kogoro Mori, who had already rushed to the entrance, was stunned.

Three seconds later, the uncle showed an extremely disappointed expression on his face.

"So it's not my Okino Yoko-san"

Mao Lilan, who was behind, also chased him out at this time. Seeing that his father had made a big oolong, he explained with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, my father thought you were someone else, I'm sorry."

After bowing and apologizing, Mao Lilan turned his head and taught Mori Kogoro a lesson.

"Really, isn't Miss Okino Yoko injured? How could she come to such a place?"

"Oh. It's true."

The plain daily dialogue between the father and daughter seems to be piercing Yoko Asanuma with a sharp knife.

It turned out that I heard my name as the name of the popular female artist Yoko Okino
It seems that I am being self-indulgent, thinking that I can have fans?

I'm such a ridiculous clown.
Yoko Asanuma was extremely sour in her heart, and grinned lightly at the corners of her mouth, but fortunately, the actor's self-cultivation is still there, and she quickly replaced her self-deprecating smile with a kind smile.

"No, it's okay, my name is often misunderstood."

The common words of reconciliation are spoken from Yoko Asanuma, but it is also true and helpless.

But next, the words of the Mori father and daughter can be regarded as the real "killing and killing".

"Wow! It's really me!"

Mori Kogoro, who was a little disappointed, saw the face of the woman next to Yoko Asanuma, and found hope again.

"You are Akiko Kinoshita, the female star who played 'Snow Girl' in the TV series "Snow Girl's Love"!"

"I recognize you!"

"Xiao Lan! This is the TV star Akiko Kinoshita herself!"

Mori Kogoro enthusiastically introduced Kinoshita Akiko to the people around him, and Kinoshita Akiko got everyone's attention instantly.

The boss and the proprietress were surprised by the presence of the female star, and Kogoro Mori also enthusiastically praised Akiko Kinoshita's acting skills.

All of this was seen by Yoko Asanuma who stood aside and stood like a minion.

There was a hint of despair in her eyes.

But immediately after, this trace of despair turned into a fierce light flashing in the pupils.

This fierce light was slowly conceived in his eyes. He first glanced at Akiko Kinoshita who was standing in front of him smiling and chatting with others, and then habitually glanced at other people.

Suddenly, Yoko Asanuma saw a mixed-race uncle standing at the back. At this time, he was not looking at Akiko Kinoshita, who was attracting attention, but at himself!

The guilty Asanuma Yoko hurriedly pretended to have a foreign object in her throat, lowered her head and coughed lightly, avoiding this sharp gaze.

"The scene where you jumped into the lake was really well acted!"

"I just jumped into the lake in a straight line, and I almost brought my heart into the lake together!"

At the dinner table, Kogoro Mori continued to praise Akiko Kinoshita's acting skills.

Qin Zhibo had to admit that Mori Kogoro's star chasing ability was beyond doubt.

From Mao Lilan's relatively ordinary attitude towards Kinoshita Akiko, Qin Zhibo felt that Mao Lilan probably didn't know this star named Kinoshita Akiko.

After all, the Internet in this era is still not so sound, and stars with a slightly smaller celebrity have a relatively limited range of communication.

Including Qin Zhibo himself, if he hadn't watched "Snow Girl's Love" just now, he would not know this Akiko Kinoshita at all.

However, what Qin Zhibo didn't know was that during the six months before Conan came to Mori Kogoro's house, Mori Kogoro, who had never entrusted him to come to the house, lived by watching TV dramas played by female stars.

Being familiar with beautiful female stars is one of Mori Kogoro's basic detective skills.

Facing Kogoro Mori's praise, Akiko Kinoshita was not greedy, and introduced Yoko Asanuma next to her with a smile.

"Actually, the actor who shot the scene of jumping into the lake was not me, but Yoko."

"Yoko is my exclusive stand-in actor, and many of my difficult and dangerous actions are filmed by her."

"For me, she is like my shadow"

Mori Kogoro nodded in understanding, and suddenly told a cold joke with a shiver.

"So that's the case, no wonder the two of you went out to play together."

"Of course the shadow cannot be separated from the body! Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed again, but Yoko Asanuma seemed to be laughing with everyone on the surface, but she was secretly ruthless in her heart.

shadow
Shadow will usurp the throne tomorrow!
Although the two uncles in front of him are both detectives, their plan to "usurp the throne" is already on the line and has to be launched.

If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when you will bring Akiko Kinoshita to this homestay next time.

The plan must be executed!

Silent all night.

The next day, Yoko Asanuma and Akiko Kinoshita went skiing at a nearby ski resort as originally planned.

Both of them are master skiers, so they slipped into the woods near the ski resort and had a thrilling obstacle skiing.

When the slide was about the same time, Yoko Asanuma handed the energy drink with sleeping pills to Akiko Kinoshita, while she watched silently from the sidelines, and no one noticed that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

When the sleeping pills began to take effect, Akiko Kinoshita, who was skiing, felt weak all over her body. The ski poles on her hands could no longer support her, and she fell uncontrollably into the snow.

Asanuma speeded up and slid over, looking indifferently at Akiko Kinoshita who had fallen into the snow, her eyes were still slightly open when she was dying of consciousness, and she was still calling softly in a daze.

"Yoko."

"Yoko."

However, at this time, Yoko Asanuma could no longer care about the expression management, and the depression she had been acting as a stuntman for a long time was vented at this moment, and even the expression was directly blackened.

"Finally. Your main body has finally fallen!"

"To tell you the truth, I have done enough being your shadow."

"Why have you taken all the honors from graduation to now! You have become a big star, but I have always been an unknown stuntman?"

"Obviously we all look alike."

"So I understand, as long as you exist in this world for a day, I can only obediently be your shadow forever."

While Kinoshita Akiko's consciousness remained, Asanuma Yoko vented the anguish that had been suppressed by the mountain of Kinoshita Akiko for these years.

However, just behind a thick wooden pile not far away, a tall and straight figure was secretly complaining.

Is it common for bad guys to expose themselves these days?

　Thank you Luo Muxi for the reward!
