Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

In addition, the two opponents had not come out yet, which made Xiaolan even more frightened.

When the three of them returned to the room, Xia Chuan said, "Let's go to the storage room first."

Although Natsukawa was not looking at him, Conan still nodded in agreement, as the other person's idea coincided with his.

This noise must be the sound made by Yoko Asanuma preparing to escape.

Then, he glanced at Natsukawa and his three companions, and finally stopped his gaze on Kuroba Kaito and Koizumi Hongzi.

It was such a severe snowstorm, and these two people were not from the same B&B, so how could they be here?

So suspicious...

I always feel that they are plotting something with Xia Chuan. Maybe Xia Chuan's identity is related to these two people.

One is a magician, the other is a street liar, and what about Xia Chuan?

Oh, it’s a street urchin - an unemployed vagrant who goes fishing at night every day, isn’t he a street urchin?

On the left side at the end of the corridor is the bathroom, and there is a small aisle leading to the hot spring bath, and on the right is the storage room.

A group of five people stopped at the door of the storage room.

Xia Chuan picked up the wooden frame next to him where the dolls were placed and used it as a weapon.

Don't pull out your gun in front of Conan and Kogoro Mouri unless it is necessary.

"what?"

He suddenly froze for a moment and looked down at the wooden frame in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Conan asked in a low voice.

"The doll on the wooden stand is gone. I remember it was still there when we returned to the B&B."

"Maybe the boss of Kitamura put it away."

Kogoro Mouri didn't care. He had already put his hand on the door handle, pulled the bolt, and prepared to push the door open.

A red light suddenly appeared in Koizumi Hongzi's hand, and a ball of red light like a flame illuminated the dim corridor.

Kaito didn't know when he changed his clothes. He was no longer wearing Kaito Kid's uniform, but normal casual clothes.

The next moment, he took out two garlic cloves from his pocket with a serious expression.

Conan, Maori Kogoro: "..."

Compared to Kuroba Kaito, Conan thinks Koizumi Akako is more like a magician.

After all, it's not scientific at all that the other person can wear a bikini in such cold weather.

And Kaito, holding the garlic, looked a bit cheap.

As for the red light in Koizumi Akako's hand, Conan could not see it at all, as if he was a blind man. He silently turned on his watch-shaped lighting device to broaden the vision for several people.

Finding that there was enough light, Kogoro Maori nodded at Natsukawa and prepared to push the door open.

A second later, Kogoro Mori was bounced back.

Didn't push away...

The five people looked at each other.

Kogoro Mouri tried again, using all his strength, but still failed to shake the old wooden door at all.

"Let me do it!"

Koizumi Hongzi suspected that this was the effect of magic. At this time, magic must be used to defeat magic.

She pushed Kogoro Mouri away, and her hand, which was glowing red, grasped the bolt. With a little force, a red glow began to burst out.

Kogoro Mori, who was closest to the place, felt a hint of warmth, as if he was close to a stove, and was amazed.

The next moment, the wooden door was pushed open lightly, the warm feeling dissipated in an instant, a white mist floated out, and the cold air hit my face.

Chapter 212 Scientific Reasoning (Please subscribe)

Mikamachi Ski Resort was covered in a snowstorm.

No one dared to step out of the room in the freezing cold.

Looking down from a high altitude, you can see a strange phenomenon.

This terrible blizzard only covered the area around the ski resort. Outside the snow-capped mountains and several surrounding villages, the blizzard disappeared without a trace.

This seems like a huge barrier, with the inside and outside of the barrier like two different worlds.

Genbei Hot Spring B&B seemed to be the center of the entire barrier. The entire outer wall was covered with frost, and sharp icicles hung from the top of the eaves, as if they would fall at any moment and kill anyone who wanted to escape from the B&B.

The bone-chilling cold in the corridor of the B&B made everyone stiff.

"It seems that the sacrifice has a lot of resentment."

Koizumi Hongzi's eyes swept across the storage room.

The entire storage room was like an ice cellar, covered with frost and snow everywhere. Entering it, it felt like entering a world of ice and snow.

Natsukawa stood silently behind Conan, not to protect him.

As a holy body of science, Koizumi Akako's magic is ineffective against him. Xiachuan feels that at the critical moment, he can use Conan as a shield, which will definitely have a miraculous effect.

"Where is the Snow Girl?" Kaito pinched his fingers and a flashlight appeared, shining towards the center.

I didn't see the so-called snow woman, but only saw Yoko Asanuma, who was already as cool as she could be.

The storage room was a mess, with debris scattered all over the floor, broken porcelain pieces and tools everywhere, and everything covered with a layer of frost, like a cold storage.

"This stove is actually frozen."

After confirming it was safe, Xia Chuan went forward and touched the stove, and found that the fire did not go out naturally, and there was still a lot of coal inside.

Then he walked over to the shelf in the middle of the storage room to check.

Yoko Asanuma had been tied up in this place before, and she is still there, but she has long lost her life. Her body is stiff, her face is pale, her open mouth is stuffed with a lot of snow, her lips are purple and red, and there is visible frost hanging on the ends of her hair and eyelashes.

Even on the pores of the skin, a layer of white frost can be clearly seen.

"How about it?"

Conan pushed aside Kogoro Mouri and quickly came to Natsukawa. He looked at Yoko Asanuma's death with her mouth open in fear, and felt curious.

It seemed like the other person saw something and was frightened to death.

But what would it be like if you had a mouth full of snow?

"It couldn't be colder."

Xia Chuan took one look and stopped looking, instead fixing his gaze on the vent.

The vent seemed to have been hit hard, the entire iron louver disappeared, and the size of the vent doubled.

I looked down at my feet and saw that the iron louver was concave in the middle and was inserted straight into the wooden ground, three inches deep into the wood.

"It looks like the Snow Girl has been here."

Koizumi Hongzi's eyes were covered with magic power, and she could clearly feel the traces of the Snow Girl's presence. Those were ice-blue magic threads that covered the entire room like a spider's web.

In addition, the entire room is like a cold storage, which is not possible under normal circumstances.

"Yuki-onna?"

Conan and Maori Kogoro muttered together and then shook their heads.

"The Snow Girl is just a legend. There is something else going on. We have to wait until the Mikamachi Police Station comes to check tomorrow for the details."

Naturally, Kogoro Mori would not believe in the legend of the snow woman.

Conan was even more so. After taking a look at the room, he came up with a more scientific answer.

"This room is completely sealed, and the furnace causes a huge temperature difference between the inside and outside. The vent must have been unable to withstand the pressure inside and outside, and after it exploded, the cold wind outside swept directly into the room.

The pressure difference allowed the wind and snow from outside to rush in, and the sudden drop in temperature was the main reason why the room became like this."

After Conan finished speaking, he found that no one responded to him. He looked up and found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.

Xia Chuan felt that it was a bit outrageous. If this could be explained, science shouldn't be so exaggerated.

Others think that it is a bit unusual that Conan, a little boy, knows so much knowledge.

Xia Chuan said: "But this blind is ventilated, and the air must be circulating. Even if there is a pressure difference, it will not be serious enough to break the iron blind."

"This may be related to the spider web above." Conan squatted on the ground and carefully observed the broken ice next to the blinds. There were dense silk threads inside these broken ice blocks.

“The blinds must have not been cleaned for a long time. The spider webs on them are very dense. Once covered with frost and snow, they will turn this room into an airtight chamber.

As a result, as the stove heated up the room, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the room increased, leading to this result.”

Kogoro Mouri nodded, feeling that Conan and he had the same idea.

"Yes, that should be the case. Let's not talk about the snow girl anymore, lest some people hear about it and cause panic. I guess no one will dare to come to this ski resort in the future."

Koizumi Hongzi curled her lips and did not respond. She found something to stand on and went up to the ventilation vent to check the situation outside.

In the wind and snow, faint ice-blue lines covered the snow. The Snow Girl probably arrived very early and seemed to have circled around the B&B several times.

However, the power of the Snow Girl shouldn't be that strong.

It had just resurrected and devoured a sacrifice, and the magical power it displayed seemed a little beyond expectations.

Logically, most of its magic power should have been used up to form the blizzard barrier, and it shouldn't have been able to turn the room into this state. At most, it should have only frozen Yoko Asanuma.

"By the way, are there other people living here besides you?"

Koizumi Hongzi had a bad guess.

Xia Chuan frowned slightly and looked outside the door. It was very strange that the Kitamura couple had not shown up yet.

Koizumi Akako said this... Could it be that the Snow Girl did something else besides avenging the sacrifice?

Ignoring Conan who was still checking the scene to perfect his reasoning, Natsukawa walked out of the room with Koizumi Akako and Kaito.

"I didn't expect there really is a snow girl. It's such a pity that I didn't see one in person."

"Don't you think what Conan said makes sense? Maybe it was just an air pressure difference accident caused by the stove, not the so-called snow woman."

As he spoke, Natsukawa looked at Koizumi Hongzi, wanting to know why she had just asked if there were any other people living here.

"The Snow Girl's magic power is a bit high. If she only devoured one sacrifice, there shouldn't be such a strong fluctuation of magic power. When I came here, I asked the ski resort, and there were no deaths there."

"So, you suspect... the Snow Woman has killed other people in this B&B?"

Koizumi Hongzi nodded, and her eyes covered with red magic searched for magical fluctuations in the corridor.

Soon, she discovered wisps of ice-blue magical energy spreading from one of the rooms.

"here it is?"

Xia Chuan hesitated and replied, "It is the Kitamura couple's room, for sure."

The Kitamura couple's room was closest to the entrance, and opposite was the living room. It was still quiet at this moment and was not woken by the noise just now.

Even if you have a good sleep quality, you should not fail to notice any movement.

Thinking that something might have happened to the other two people, Xia Chuan walked up quickly.

"There are fluctuations of the Snow Girl's magic power here."

Koizumi Akako made the final conclusion. Since there was a fluctuation of magical power and the strength of the Snow Girl was stronger than she expected, the situation of the Kitamura couple inside could be imagined.

After the inspection was completed and the storage room was sealed, Conan and Maori Kogoro came out and saw Xiachuan and the other two standing at the door of the boss's room. They asked in confusion: "Uncle Xiachuan, what are you doing?"

"With all the commotion going on, the Kitamura couple haven't shown up yet. Don't you think there's something wrong?"

Conan then remembered that something was indeed wrong.

The couple's behavior over the past two days did not seem like that of elderly people with poor hearing. How could they not hear anything? It is indeed very suspicious.

Xia Chuan first knocked on the door and waited for nearly a minute, but there was still no movement from inside.

At this moment, everyone's expressions became solemn.

Xia Chuan took a deep breath, dismissed his attendants, and kicked the door.

A powerful kick directly sent the door panel flying, making a loud "bang" sound!

Such a huge noise made Joel unable to help but open the door a little to check the situation outside.
