"What? The road is blocked again?!!"

After receiving the information brought back by Amuro Toru and others, Mori Kogoro finally couldn't help roaring.

The last time they came to Nagano, the tunnel was blocked by heavy snow, Mouri Kogoro never thought that the same thing could happen again in a short period of time.

In addition, the signal here is not good, so they are blocked here?

"Wait? Where's the phone? Is the phone connected?"

Mori Kogoro hurriedly asked Conan, and then saw Conan nodded obediently, "Although Miss Yui couldn't be contacted, the police station got through."

Conan glanced at Toru Amuro while saying this, and Toru Amuro, who was in charge of calling the police station, also talked about the reply he received.

"The police station said that the tunnel is under emergency repair, it's just yesterday's blizzard..."

"Last night's blizzard caused damage to too many places, so the priority here has to be later, right," Mori Kogoro accepted Amuro's words while rolling his eyes.

He had already heard the same words last time, and he really didn't want to hear them a second time.

"Did you tell the police what happened here?"

Toru Amuro, who was still laughing awkwardly, nodded again, "I've already said, the phone said that once the road is repaired, someone will be sent over, let's wait in the mansion now, don't run around casually, it's easy to get lost around here. "

Mori Kogoro made a gesture and wrapped his clothes tightly, "We won't go out casually in such a cold day."

Fortunately, there was still heating in the mansion, and the doors and windows were not destroyed by yesterday's blizzard. At least they would not be frozen to death hiding in the mansion. This is also a blessing in misfortune.

"I made something when you were out just now. The few of us have already eaten, and you should eat some, and then continue to talk about the case."

Mao Lilan brought out the breakfast that was borrowed from the kitchen just now. Although the content was very simple, the tempting aroma still made Xia Nai and the others feel hungry for a while, who have been busy since they woke up.

With a simple western-style breakfast and a cup of black tea, the three people who just went out had a very satisfying meal.

After quickly finishing their breakfast, everyone turned their attention back to this strange case.

"Why don't we search the room first to see the murder weapon or something."

Mori Kogoro looked around, and it was obviously useless to ask about the timeline. Everyone knew that the incident happened just last night. Even if he asked other people if they had been out, I am afraid that no one would give "yes." , I ran to Mr. Hanchuan's room, killed him and dismembered him." Answers like this.

It would be faster to search the room directly.

Although he also felt that he might not be able to find anything.

But this time his proposal was met with opposition.

"I remember that in Japan, detectives should not have the right to ask to search other people's rooms, right?"

Bai Lan held a family-sized bag of cotton candy in his hand, and he didn't stop taking one bite, "Actually, it's strange that you casually entered the scene of the crime, but I heard that you are a famous detective in Japan, so Maybe it's different?"

Mori Kogoro opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Although he was often refused when he asked the suspects to cooperate in other cases, and he would be asked "Who are you" by people who didn't know him, but usually as long as he reported his name, most of the objections would become criminals. acquiescence.

But I don't want to meet a foreign friend who is so uncompromising and organized, and make him speechless.

"Actually, I don't agree with Mr. Mori's proposal either."

When Mori Kogoro sought the support of Shana and Chuya, he heard Shana's opposition.

Mori Kogoro didn't expect that Shana, who was always easy to talk, would show a lack of cooperation at this time. He looked at Shana with a face full of astonishment, but before he could ask why, he had already heard Shana's answer.

"On the one hand, I don't like unfamiliar people touching my things, and the other reason is..."

Xia Nai glanced at Mori Kogoro, and suddenly laughed, "I wonder if you have heard of the Ten Commandments of Reasoning?"

Mori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, "Inference...what?"

"The Ten Commandments of Reasoning are the ten principles that should not be violated in mystery novels put forward by British mystery novelist Ronald Knox," Conan explained in a low voice for Kogoro Mori and others who were completely unfamiliar with this aspect.

"In addition to this, there are twenty rules for speculative fiction proposed by the American novelist Van Dyne."

"Yes."

Xia Nai nodded, she didn't show the slightest surprise that Conan knew so much at such a young age, she just stated her reasons calmly, "The seventh of the ten commandments of reasoning is "the murderer and the detective cannot be the same personal". "

Knowing what she wanted to say, Conan's expression changed.

"It's a pity that we don't live in the novel. Even if you are a well-known detective in Japan, I can't exclude you."

Shana showed a calm smile at Mori Kogoro whose expression changed because of her words.

"It's ok."

Unexpectedly, Kogoro Mori quickly regained his composure. He straightened his suit with a calm expression, "If you want to suspect that I am a murderer, you can do whatever you want. You can also investigate my room and luggage if you want."

"The duty of a detective is not to justify his work, but to reveal the truth of the incident and return justice to the deceased."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Mori Kogoro's confident words made Shana raise her eyebrows, and then she turned her head and exchanged a look with Nakaya, who had been silent all the time.

The others didn't know what information they exchanged through their eyes, but they saw Xia Nai quickly nodded with a smile.

"Okay then, for Mr. Maori's sake, Zhong Zhong and I will also cooperate with your investigation."

Shana, who calmly pointed out that Kogoro Mori could not escape the suspicion just now, smiled, and even her attitude changed 180 degrees, "It's just that I still don't like other people to randomly rummage through my things, so..."

Her eyes looked at Mori Kogoro, Conan, and Amuro Toru, and finally stayed on Amuro Toru.

"Mr. Lao Anshi will come to check it?"

"……Eh?"

>>>

The first thing everyone went to was not Shane's room, but the room of Dazai Osamu, whose whereabouts are currently unknown.

This is not entirely because of worrying about the whereabouts of Osamu Dazai, nor is it because they want to find evidence that Osamu Dazai went to the deep mountains and old forests to commit suicide. The people are not so much worried about Osamu Dazai's life as they care about him yesterday The "The Case of the Bizarre Disappearance at Snowstorm Villa" that I took.

After all, what happened in reality was so similar to what happened in the story that it was hard for everyone not to care.

Mori Kogoro was drunk last night, and he didn't know what Osamu Dazai said, but after hearing his daughter say that Dazai had such a book, he complained mercilessly:

"There shouldn't be fools who commit crimes based on mystery novels, right?"

Not necessarily.

Conan immediately thought of the robbery gang who committed crimes based on his father's lost manuscript.

It’s just that the case this time is too curious, and there are many doubts. Conan really doesn’t know where to start—the bullet marks and scratches on the left side of the second floor can be used to perfuse the original ones. The wooden plank hanging down between the two is really unreasonable.

The key is that there are corpses.

Not to mention that there is only such a small amount of bleeding caused by such a big movement, which is definitely problematic; the most important thing is how the murderer did all this without hiding it from everyone.

And the murderer is too busy all night, right?Does he not need to sleep?

The suitcase that Osamu Dazai left in the room was locked, but it didn't bother Toru Amuro. He opened the lock with a paper clip and opened the extremely light suitcase.

Xia Nai, who was waiting at the door, chuckled slightly after seeing this scene.

Zhong also looked at her strangely, "What's wrong?"

"I was thinking, that guy Dazai had picked so many locks in the past, but he didn't expect that one day he would be reduced to having his box picked by other people."

Chu also looked at the gloating expression on Shana's face, and shook his head helplessly.

"Ah, I see!"

Kogoro Mori looked at Osamu Dazai's suitcase, and twitched the corners of his mouth at the hardcover book that was shining brightly inside.

Osamu Dazai's suitcase was full of nonsense.

This is not a joke, because there are only about a dozen bandages in this huge suitcase, and there is only a hardcover book, and nothing else-not even a change of clothes nothing.

This makes people wonder if this is his suitcase, or if other things in this suitcase have been taken away before this.

So Mori Kogoro and others found the book without any effort.

"Let me see how..."

The case-solving part of the mystery novel is easy to find, just turn to the last few pages. After all, the story of the mystery novel ends after the case is solved, but Xia Nai, who was watching this scene outside, shook her head.

"If it is not for the purpose of solving the case, it is not advisable to directly read the declassified part."

Bai Lan, who had already disposed of most of the bag of marshmallows, approached, "But Nana, don't you want to wait to see the ending? It's okay to skip some dialogues completely."

"But many times in reasoning novels, the key clues are hidden in the dialogue, and also exist in the casual glance."

Xia Nai glanced at Bai Lan, and calmly said the sharp words.

"Besides, mystery novels are like people. You know that the time to solve the puzzle will always come, just like you know that you will die sooner or later. But you can't ignore every day before the death that will come sooner or later. .”

"It's impossible for you to assume that you can live to be 80 years old, just jump directly from the year when you are 80 years old, and don't spend the years in between?"

Xia Nai glanced at the three detectives in the room who were putting their heads together to flip through the book, "So mystery novels still resist the urge to jump directly to the ending, read page by page, and at the same time do reasoning by yourself, like this The reading experience is the best."

"Otherwise you will be punished."

Bai Lan almost stuck to Xia Nai's side, and took Xia Nai's words with great interest, "What retribution? Like being cursed by the god of mystery novels?"

Xia Nai smiled and said nothing, at the same time there was a slightly mournful exclamation in the room——

"How is this going!"
