Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"It's already eight o'clock. We've already gathered at six o'clock, but we're only getting food now. I'm almost starving to death." Heiji raised his hand and looked at the time and complained.

Carrying the dinner she received, Kazuha sat next to Heiji. She looked at the crowded hotel cafeteria and said, "I heard that students from other schools also live in this hotel. In order to prevent the restaurant from being too crowded, we That’s why we miss meals.”

"Compared to this, how are your feet doing?"

"No... no problem."

There was a sudden commotion in the back. Some students recognized the person at the door of the restaurant as the actor Minawa Saibei. The already small restaurant became even more crowded.

He was introducing the movie he shot to the students, and said that the deceased person in the movie was his friend, and he was in this hotel when he died.

"Wait a minute, Minawa, it's better not to let too many people know about Minamijiro's death." A fat man wearing a hat dissuaded him.

"You didn't make a movie based on your dead friend, and you said it was for mourning. It's ridiculous."

Minawa Saibei seemed to have no regard for his reputation as an actor and actually said such words publicly. If he was angry because of the fat man's disrespect for his dead friend, it didn't make sense that he used Jiro Minakami as a joke to talk to girls just now.

"Forget it, what's wrong, as long as you write 'Dedicated to Jiro Minakura' at the end of the movie, you can still make the audience burst into tears. Anyway, the dead will not come back to settle accounts with us."

A man with short hair came from a distance. He avoided the crowd and was rude to Jiro Minakami. After saying that, he looked at the woman behind him.

The woman just sneered at the short-haired man: "Don't forget, you have to take over Minami's stand-in job, so don't be tempted by the snow girl."

The fat man looked at the ground lonely: "But I still can't figure out why Shui Shui would put down such a loving fiancée like you and end his own life?"

"Because it wasn't suicide, it was homicide."

At this time, all the students in the restaurant were listening to the conversation between the five people. When this new person said that the murderer was among these four people, everyone couldn't help but whisper.

"I remember that you were a criminal police officer at the time, and you became a detective after being fired, right? But at the time, it looked like a suicide?" The woman asked the former policeman who participated in the investigation of her fiancé's death again.

“It is indeed like that. Four years ago, Mizunami Jiro, who was sitting alone on the cable car of this ski resort, was found shot in the head as the cable car went down the mountain. He died of gas.

He held a gun in his right hand, and there was smoke reaction in his hand. Most people would think it was suicide. The suspicious point is, why is the bag next to this man filled with snow? "

"So, he committed suicide based on the legend here." The fat man stood up and confronted the detective.

The detective stared at the four men with disdain. He was said to be a friend, or even his fiancée, but he didn't even know that Minamijiro was a person who had no interest in ghost stories at all, and it was no wonder that he suspected that the murderer was among these four people.

"This is what happened four years ago. What did Kudo-sensei think?"

In the hot spring, Toru Amuro and Yuji Kudo were enjoying the comfortable hot spring pool. Under the beautiful snow scenery, Toru Amuro told this case that matched the local legend.

Matsuda Jinpei went to bed directly because he was drunk, while Sato Miwako stayed in the villa to take care of him. The only people who came to the hot spring to take a bath were Usami Yuzuki, Minami Kaori, Amuro Toru and Kudo Yuuji.

"What do you think? No matter how you look at it, it's a murder. It's just because the police couldn't solve the case that they concluded it was a suicide. How pitiful is this former policeman who was fired after struggling to pursue the truth!"

"Does Kudo-sensei already know who the murderer is?"

"How is that possible! I don't even know what happened. Guessing at this time will only lead to preconceptions of reasoning and will not do any good."

Toru Amuro looked at the falling snowflakes above his head with an incomprehensible expression.

Obviously you have only been gone for less than a month, I really want to take a bath with you again...

In the women's hot spring pool, Usami Yuzuki and Minami Kaori sat opposite each other. It may be because both schools were having activities here and no other guests came here to ski. The hot spring was also reserved by four people today.

"What does Yuzuki think of Yuji-san? Do you still like him?" Minami Kaori looked at the rabbit hairpin on Usami's head, which she gave to her when she was in first grade.

"Of course, why? Kaori will also..."

"Although I feel very sorry, but if Yuzuki had confessed to him earlier, I might not be tempted."

Usami stood up from the hot spring: "It's me, it's me first, it's obviously me who came first... whether it's in the same class, deskmate, or in love with Kudo-san."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Under Usami's surprised gaze, Minami Kaori curled up in the water and cried silently: "I didn't want to either.

Why is it like this... It's the first time I have someone I like. There is someone who can be a lifelong friend. Two happy things come together. Two joys brought me more joy. What we got was supposed to be happiness like a dream...but why did it become like this..."

"So, are you giving up?" Usami suddenly hugged Kaori tightly.

"No, I want to be with Yuji-san. Even if it's Yuzuki, I don't want to give it to you."

Yuzuki wiped Kaori's tearful face and put her forehead against hers: "Me too, Kudo-san and Kaori, I want both love and friendship. So... let's see whose prince he is."

After soaking for half an hour, Yuji sat on the sofa in the hot spring and watched TV while drinking coffee bought from the vending machine. Amuro Toru was still taking a bath, which made Yuji sigh that his body was really good. A normal person would have fainted long ago!

"Yuji-san, the hot spring here is very comfortable. It's really Hokkaido."

"Yeah."

Minami Kaori stood beside the boy in a pink yukata. She leaned over slightly and let her face face Yuji's eyes that were dull because of fatigue.

"My hair is a little wet. Can you help me dry it?"

Yuji agreed and put 500 yen in the coin-operated hair dryer. Then he gently combed Kaori's hair while blowing her hair.

"Have you reconciled with Usami?"

"We've reconciled."

"That's good."

Yuji's hand reached out to Kaori's face and brushed back the hair on both sides of her cheeks.

But the hair dryer kept blowing, and the action of brushing hair kept repeating. Several times, Yuji's hand would touch Kaori's ears lightly, causing the girl to always make strange moans.

After the hair was blown, Yuji sat back on the sofa, put a bottle of coffee milk in front of Kaori, and opened a can of coffee for herself.

The girl's face flushed slightly, and she couldn't tell whether it was because of the hot spring or something else. She held the coffee milk and tried hard to retract her smile that she couldn't hide.

Usami also came out in a yukata: "Kudo-san, can you help me blow my hair?"

So why don't you blow each other's hair? It turns out that you haven't reconciled yet, right!
