Did I fall off the horse with Touzi today?

It was a vast expanse of white snow.

Toru Amuro sat in the co-pilot, looked at the heavy snow flying outside the window, and finally began to wonder if they were going the wrong way.

He had heard Fa Xiao mentioned that the winter in Nagano was covered by heavy snow, which was dazzling white, and the snowflakes falling from the sky kept pressing on the bare branches. After the heavy snow stopped, the trees would be crystal clear.

It was a beautiful scene.

But he didn't know that Nagano was such a violent scene when it snowed.

The cold wind whistled outside the car, as if someone was sobbing, and it also seemed to be screaming.The cold wind wrapped around the blizzard and rolled fiercely through the car window, which seemed quite menacing.

They—he, Mori Kogoro, Mori teacher's daughter Lan, and Conan, a group of four were invited by the owner of the Extreme Cold Pavilion, Han Chuan, and are now sitting on the way there.

This is not the first time Amuro has come to Nagano this winter.

The last time they came to Nagano together with Mori Kogoro, Conan and others, they also encountered such extreme blizzard weather, and encountered an unforgettable and sad serial killing incident in an abandoned church.

As for this invitation, Toru Amuro had a bad premonition.

Moori Kogoro, who was driving the car, also seemed very impatient, he stared straight ahead, looking very anxious, "Really, why did I come to such a remote place in this heavy snowing weather!"

"You can't say that, Dad, you have already charged the commission fee from the client!"

Mourilan, who was sitting in the back seat, immediately stopped Kogoro Mori's slightly childish words, and she greeted Toru Amuro embarrassedly, and was very tactful from the young man who had always been very considerate. answer.

What she didn't say was that she was actually terrified because of such extreme weather, especially when last night's TV series mentioned the strange story of the Snow Maiden that was very suitable for the season...

Mao Lilan always felt that this kind of weather and this scene was an excellent time for Snow Maiden to come out.

The heating in the car was sufficient, but Mao Lilan felt cold hands and feet.

"It's okay, Sister Lan," Conan, who was sitting beside her, seemed to feel her panic and anxiety, and showed her a bright smile of a child, "Don't worry, there will never be a snow girl coming out!"

Mori Kogoro, who was driving, watched a TV series with them last night and knew what his daughter was afraid of.

The detective who has always been a materialist snorted softly, and then said something as if to comfort, "How could there be a snow girl, even if there is, you can use your karate to defeat the opponent."

Mao Lilan refuted that karate is useless against monsters, and this topic was also briefly mentioned in the jokes of everyone.

"Speaking of which, Dad, do you know who the Mr. Hanchuan who invited us this time is?"

There are not a few famous people who invited them to play in their manor for Kogoro Mori's reputation, and there are even more famous people who have received personal threats or entrusted him to solve puzzles.But in such an extreme snowstorm, not many people invited them to the remote mountain villa in Nagano.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party directly gave a large commission fee this time, Kogoro Mori would probably not be willing to take this trip at all.

"I've heard of it a little before."

Mori Kogoro responded casually to his daughter's words, "He is a very rich businessman. He worked hard in Yokohama in the early years, but then he seemed to have an accident and his health was not good, so he became a behind-the-scenes investor. Actually moved to the deep mountains and old forests in Nagano."

"But would people with poor health live in such a remote place?"

Conan didn't know much about Mr. Hanchuan, but he felt strange about his behavior, "It's fine in other seasons. It's snowing all the time in Nagano Prefecture at this time. In case something happens...rescue will be done." not convenient."

The last time they came to Nagano Prefecture, the police were unable to arrive at the scene because of the heavy snow blocking the mountains.

"What do you know, a child," Mori Kogoro gave him a blank look.

"But regarding this Mr. Suzukawa, I have also heard some things about him," Toru Amuro hurriedly stopped Moori Kogoro before he was about to say more scolding words, which was considered a curiosity for that person. The exuberant little detective provides some information.

"Does Mr. Amuro know anything?"

Sure enough, the little detective looked at him immediately after hearing his words, and Toru Amuro also turned sideways, facing Mori Kogoro beside him and Conan behind him.

"I just heard that among the companies he invests in, there is a new technology company called "Sei Wei", which is located in Yokohama, and some things happened not long ago. "

Toru Amuro did not say that Yui cooperated with Jungle and Mafia at the port at the same time, nor did he say that Yui's technical director was killed. He just told the two detectives who had recently investigated some unimportant information.

"I also heard that Mr. Suzukawa was abroad until not long ago, and he just returned to Japan recently."

Having said that, Toru Amuro smiled at Mori Kogoro, and complimented him just right, "It should be because I have heard of Mori-sensei's name, so I can't wait to see you, right?"

Kogoro Mori was obviously very useful, and Ran Moore also thought of something.

"From what you said, I recall that Sonoko mentioned a few words about Mr. Hanchuan after she knew we had received the invitation letter."

Yuanzi's news channels are obviously different from those of the two detectives, but the information provided by Yuanzi on those wealthy businessmen and wealthy people is basically not missed. Conan immediately asked, "Sister Yuanzi, what did she say?"

"Sonoko, she seemed to say... that Mr. Suzukawa used to be a young, promising and down-to-earth young man, but after a major disaster in Yokohama more than ten years ago, he seemed to be a different person, becoming special Believe in monsters and ghosts."

This is information that Mori Kogoro and Amuro Toru did not know.

Probably because of the way detectives and police gather information, and the source and focus of rich people's information are different, they don't know that Mr. Hanchuan has such anecdote at all.

Mori Kogoro didn't take it seriously, "I think it's because he has experienced disasters that he has become superstitious."

Mao Lilan shook his head, "Yuanzi said that he saw something... er, strange things when he was dying. After that, he has been paying special attention to the legend of Rage God."

She originally wanted to say "unclean things", but after thinking about it, she changed to a more euphemistic word.

"Rage God? Ah, that ancient god? How could that kind of thing exist?" Mori Kogoro snorted, "I think he saw the god of death waving to him when he was dying?"

"father!"

Mao Lilan was still scolding his father for his inappropriate comments, but Conan frowned. Amuro did not miss the deep mark between the little detective's eyebrows, "Conan-kun, what problem did you find?"

Mori Kogoro next to him muttered a few words about what children know, and after hearing Amuro Toru's answer, Conan replied almost subconsciously:

"Although the legends of Aragami exist all over Japan, there are not many in Yokohama."

Mori Kogoro wanted to say something more, but Toru Amuro smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know this, Conan-kun."

After knowing Toru Amuro's true identity, the little detective, who has become more and more undisguised, rubbed his head and laughed awkwardly. Looking at the confused and surprised eyes of Mori Lan next to him, Conan immediately resorted to his all-purpose Excuse:

"Yes, I just saw it on the youkai column on TV!"

Mori Kogoro muttered something again, but stopped talking, and just focused on driving according to the navigation. After about 10 minutes, the group finally arrived at the Extreme Cold Pavilion.

There were three foreign cars parked outside the gorgeous mansion, each of which looked expensive. Mori Kogoro parked his rented car next to the three foreign cars, while Toru Amuro and Mori Lan and the others went to the trunk to get their luggage after the car stopped.

"Ok?"

Toru Amuro was stunned when he saw the familiar sports car parked next to Mori Kogoro. He was about to look at the license plate of that car when he was caught by Mori who had already picked up his luggage and was walking towards the main entrance of the mansion. Lan greeted.

"What's the matter, Mr. Amuro?"

"I'm coming!"

Toru Amuro took another deep look at the familiar red sports car, feeling a little uneasy, followed Mao Lilan and others to the door of the Extremely Cold Pavilion.

The person who came out to answer the door was a young man in a deacon's uniform. He was tall and slender, with his long purple hair tied behind his head. After seeing Kogoro Mori, he welcomed them into the house without waiting for him to announce his family name.

The thick wooden door closed again, also isolating the wind and snow from the outside.

"It's Mr. Maori and his party. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The young man saluted gracefully. He looked more like an elegant dancer than the housekeeper of this mansion, "I am the housekeeper of this extremely cold mansion, Yu Shaoshen Zi, and I will entertain everyone next. .”

Mori Kogoro exchanged a few words with him, and soon got into the topic, "Where is Mr. Hanchuan now? I want to say hello to him."

"Mr. Hanchuan is currently taking a nap. You can go to put your luggage first and then go to the living room and wait for a while. There are still a few guests there."

These words were impeccable, but Toru Amuro and Conan always felt that when the young man named Yushao Shenzi said these words, there was a bit of unpleasant ridicule faintly.

It wasn't particularly obvious, and it might even make people wonder if it was their own illusion, but Toru Amuro and Conan still raised their vigilance because of this.

Mori Kogoro didn't think there was anything wrong with Yushaoshenzi's words. Under Yushaoshenzi's arrangement, he took the others to pack the luggage, and then went to the living room with Yushaoshenzi.

Although the interior decoration of the Extreme Cold Pavilion is not magnificent, it is still very grand. As soon as everyone approached the living room, they saw three people sitting in it, and they seemed to be chatting in low voices. It seemed that the atmosphere was very harmonious.

They were two men and one woman. The two men were a white-haired young man in white casual clothes, and an ocher-haired young man in a black suit and a top hat.

And the only woman...

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Mao Lilan called out her name in a low voice, and even Conan beside her was surprised.

"Miss Shane?!"

Conan, who never expected to meet Shana here, quickly raised his head and glanced at Toru Amuro, but saw the serious expression on the other side, as if he didn't expect Shana to appear here, and seemed to have already felt it.

At this moment, the doorbell rang again, Yu Shao Shen Zi greeted everyone and then went to open the door, and Xia Nai who was chatting with other people also looked at them.

"What a coincidence, Miss Xiaolan, Mr. Conan, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xia Nai was wearing a fitted red dress with a white cashmere shawl over her shoulders. Her long silver hair was fixed with a jeweled hairpin, revealing the graceful curve of her neck.

Toru Amuro didn't speak, but Mouri Kogoro, who never expected to meet such a beauty here, had already straightened his clothes and walked towards the beauty habitually.

"Is it Lan's acquaintance? It is also a kind of fate to meet such a beautiful lady here. Is there anything I can do for you, this beautiful lady."

Xia Nai, who didn't expect such an outburst, was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and let out a low laugh, while Mao Lilan grabbed her father in a rather embarrassing manner, and yelled in a low voice:

"father!"

It was very clear that her father saw a beautiful woman as a different person, and Mao Lilan, who was more aware of his father's principles, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his father's ear, "This Miss Shane already has a boyfriend!"

Mori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the two men beside Shana——

The white-haired one who sat a little further away from Shana was smiling all the time, his vine-purple eyes scanned them around, as if he saw something, the smile on his face suddenly become more brilliant.

And the ocher-haired young man in a suit who was sitting on Shana's right, who was quite close to Shana...

He glared at them unhappily.

Mori Kogoro felt as if he understood something, and quickly nodded at Nakahara Nakaya, "I think this is Miss Shane's boyfriend?"

"Pfft-"

The white-haired young man immediately laughed out loud after hearing Kogoro Mori's words, while Toru Amuro's face suddenly turned darker.

Mori Kogoro was a little confused about what the situation was, but the originally decent and alienated smile on Shana's face instantly became much more real.

And the voice of Yushaoshenzi sounded at this time——

"You two, please come in."

The people trapped in the eerie atmosphere in the room looked towards the door as if they were saved, and two tall men walked in between them, one was wearing a heavy coat and glasses; the other was only wearing a thin shirt A young man in a thick black overcoat.

It was Munakata Reishi and Dazai Osamu.
