Conan: The Mechanic

"Really?" This was Chiba's reaction after receiving the news from Shiho on the phone.

Although in a remote area like this villa, the nearby signal base stations can't provide signal coverage at all, but Shiho is an exception - the base station that comes with Chiba's auxiliary unit will always provide a whitelist for her mobile phone number, and she always has a whitelist. Communication can be carried out in places where ordinary people can't get in touch with the outside world through the extraordinarily wide 2G signal coverage of the auxiliary unit.

"It's true," Shiho said, standing in an empty corner with a rather unhappy expression. "It should be the one [Sugiyama-san leaves]!"

Sugiyama-sensei of Cupido Elementary School... This person is an acquaintance to Chiba and Shiho.

Not long after they became young, when they were freshmen at Didan Elementary School, Qianyu once met a little girl—and she once revealed to him that a teacher had done fraudulent incidents about illegal admissions.

But it didn't take long before she was murdered.

The police also conducted an investigation and locked the suspect. The teacher [Sugiyama Shigo], who is now working at Cupo Elementary School, was unable to bring him to justice because of insufficient evidence, so he could only hastily released.

And now, the fish that slipped through the net appeared in front of them like a ghost.

"This guy..." Qian Yu sighed helplessly. "It's really disgusting."

"Yeah," Shibao pouted. "If it's not really impossible to come back, I definitely don't want to stay here."

"How many people are there?" Qianyu seemed to remember something. "If it's a villa, it won't be too crowded, will it?"

"Just barely," Shiho recounted after thinking about it. "There are two female teachers and two male teachers who have come. Then there are six rooms, five and six rooms, four of which are for the teacher who has come, and the fifth for the murderer. The three of us Put the two beds in the double room together to make a living."

"There's still a place to sleep," Qianyu muttered in a low voice. "I was worried that you would be driven to a place like the sofa to live for the night because you didn't have a place to sleep. Then I would be heartbroken."

"No, no, no!" Shiho replied with a chuckle. "Even if I really don't have a place to sleep, I still have books with me, so I can read books to pass the time!"

"Then you've read a book tonight, won't you have a good rest?" Qian Yu reminded slightly dissatisfied. "If that's the case, you still have to find a way to get a good night's sleep - even if the floor is covered!"

"It's rude to let a girl sleep on the ground!" Shibao snorted. "That won't happen. If it really doesn't work, they will definitely choose to let me squeeze together!"

"Okay, okay," Chiho showed a smile even though Shiho couldn't see it. "Then... have you had dinner? BBQ?"

"No," Shiho turned around and looked out the window at the icy world. "The steak is already heating up in the oven, but the teacher said it won't start until the murderer arrives - and honestly, I feel sick even just thinking about sitting at a table with him!"

"Yeah, I feel a little too..." Qianyu shook her head with a wry smile, expressing her empathy for Shiho. "But seriously, do you need me to pick you up?"

"Huh?" Shibao was taken aback. "What do you mean? Is it still snowing outside?"

"Yeah, but since the teachers are still expecting that old thing to come, it means that maybe the situation is not so bad?" Qian Yu also stood in front of a window, watching the heavy snow outside. "To be honest, can he come? I feel that there is a high probability that he will be blocked by the heavy snow at all, and will not be able to go to your side."

"I hope so, but it seems a bit rude if I ask directly." Shiho sighed. "Forget it... If he can't come, I don't think I can't stay here for one night. After all, squeezing with other girls is also unique in a sense."

While they were chatting, Qianyu suddenly heard someone else's call from the other side of the phone.

"Shibao!" That was Xiaolan's voice. "dinner's ready!"

"Then I'll go eat first?" After saying goodbye to Chiba, Shiho immediately hung up the phone. "Come here! Xiaolan, I'm here!"

…………

"But, Sugiyama-sensei hasn't come yet?" When a male teacher came to the table and saw that there was one less colleague, he was a little worried.

"That guy, I don't know what's going on!" Teacher Yonehara Akiko looked a little dissatisfied. "There is no mobile phone signal here, and no landline phone is installed, so I can't confirm with him. But since he didn't come so late, and the snowstorm is so big outside, I don't think we need to expect him to come over tonight, or tomorrow. In the morning, it is more reasonable to greet him who crawled out of the warm quilt in the village hotel and walked over leisurely."

"So, let's have dinner now!" Another female teacher came out of the kitchen - it was she who was mainly responsible for this sumptuous meal. "As for Mr. Sugiyama... It's already very late anyway, so it's reasonable for us to have dinner. The big deal is to wait for him to come and get him some extra supper~www.readwn.com~ That's great," Yuan Zisong Take a breath. "To be honest, I was a little worried before, when will I have a delicious dinner. Finally, I will wait for the chance to eat a lot before I starve to death!"

"Okay, okay," Akiko Yonehara looked at her two students with a smile. "Everyone, let's have dinner!"

"I'm starting!"*n

However, just when they were about to start...

"Ding dong!" The doorbell rang - someone came.

"Well, it looks like Mr. Sugiyama finally made it to our dinner? I thought he was definitely absent." Mr. Yonehara Akiko showed a slightly surprised expression. "Really, do you have to imitate the hero of a movie and make a last-minute debut?"

With that said, she looked at Maurilan. "Xiao Lan, can you open the door for me? I need to find another chair for Mr. Sugiyama... By the way, have any of you seen a new chair?"

"Well, I remember there seems to be a handful in our room..." After thinking about it, Sonoko said a little uncertainly. "I think I can go take a look and maybe get one..."

But just before she could finish speaking, Mao Lilan, who was in the direction of the door, suddenly let out a scream.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a heavy, dull sound of a hard object hitting the ground directly.

"What's going on?" When Shiho Miyano, who responded the fastest, rushed to the door and found Maurilan's figure, she was also stunned by the sight in front of her.

What she still remembers now is that the ugly figure belonging to Shigo Sugiyama, now covered in a pale filter by the blizzard outside the door, lay upright like an icicle on the ground.

he died.
