The police academy is my cat

Soon everyone in the hotel gathered.

Mori Kogoro drank too much wine, and went back to his room to rest after soaking in the hot spring for a long time in the afternoon. When he heard that someone had an accident, he also hurried to the scene.

Amuro Toru, Conan and Hattori Heiji have finished their investigation.

It was getting dark, the snow was falling heavily, and the sky darkened quickly. The lights in the house could barely project a distance of less than three meters.

After inspecting the scene, Mori Kogoro asked, "Is it because the police can't come?"

Toru Amuro replied: "Yes, the snow is too heavy, and the way in is blocked by heavy snow. At least the police can't arrive here until tomorrow morning."

"Then there is no other way." Mori Kogoro sighed, then turned his head and said to the startled and frightened boss and his wife, "The women's bath pool is temporarily closed, and no guests are allowed in until the police arrive tomorrow morning."

He glanced at Sugiyama and his friends, and they all avoided his gaze in unison.

Detectives started asking about their activities in the afternoon.

The estimated time of Sasaki's death was between two and four in the afternoon. At this time, all four of them said that they were alone in the room and had not seen the deceased.

It was Xiaolan who took the initiative to say: "I saw Ms. Sasaki at three o'clock. She just finished soaking in the hot spring, bought milk from the vending machine, changed her clothes and left. I don't know if she has returned to the room."

Toru Amuro was the only one who didn't go to the hot spring.

He originally wanted to go to Jing Guang to ask what happened to the names of those cats.

Knowing that Hanami and Jingguang's identities are very special, it is not difficult for him to make a guess——

By some chance, the two of them found their old friends and turned them into cats somehow.

In this way, it is not difficult to explain why these cats are so spiritual as if their bodies hide a human soul.

But he was not sure how to persuade Jing Guang to give up the idea of ​​becoming his assistant.

So Toru Amuro could only silently try to feed the three cats with delicious food, and find some clues from the three of them.

The three cats are very face-saving, but he doesn't understand cat language.

Since Hanami's room is next to the entrance corridor of the guest courtyard, he can see people coming in and out when he feeds the cat at the door.

Toru Amuro said, "I didn't see Ms. Sasaki return to her room, she should have gone somewhere else."

Conan and Hattori checked the scene with him. It is speculated that the person should have fallen from the highest stone wall of nearly ten meters between the two soup ponds, and died on the fence stone at the edge of the soup pond.

The only thing worthy of attention is a neatly folded plain white kimono next to the corpse.

There were still three piles of snow scattered around the neckline.

No suspicious marks were found on the clothes or snow, and the victim showed no signs of struggling.

Toru Amuro asked the proprietress: "Does the hotel have this style of kimono?"

Miyuki Takayama shook her head: "The hotel only provides ordinary yukata for guests, not this style of kimono. But..." She hesitated and said, "This seems to be my eldest daughter's clothes."

Mori Kogoro asked doubtfully, "Is that the kid named Hitomi?"

"No, Xiaotong is my youngest daughter. I also have an older daughter named Xiaochun. She committed suicide and died five years ago. She wore the same clothes. I'm not sure if it's the same one."

"Please confirm immediately."

It was a matter of human life, so the proprietress didn't dare to refuse, so she turned around and left.

The two good friends looked at each other, and Conan asked, "Boss, is there a way to go up the stone wall in the middle of the hot spring pool?"

The boss looked down at him hesitantly.

"It's possible, but it's not easy to climb, and now the snow is too heavy to see clearly."

It is even more difficult to go up when it is dark and it is snowing heavily.

Hattori immediately said: "It's okay, please take us to have a look."

The boss took them to find a way to climb the stone wall, while Kogoro Mori and Toru Amuro went to the rooms of Sasaki and Sugiyama to find clues.

Both Hua Jian and Jing Guang just watched from afar without saying a word.

In fact, the three cats have already discussed it. They are all from the police. Even if they are good at different things, they can more or less understand reasoning.

Date, in particular, was an excellent police officer in the Forcible Criminal Investigation Department, which specialized in such cases.

Hearing that Conan and Hattori were going to investigate the stone wall, Date greeted and followed.

It is not difficult for cats to go where people cannot go.

Hagiwara and Matsuda were interested in Toru Amuro. Seeing him enter the detective state in a decent manner, Hagiwara, who regained his memory, sighed in a tone that my family has grown up: "The growth rate of Xiao Fuguya is really surprising. ah."

Matsuda rubbed his claws excitedly: "Come on, let's help him."

A group of people walked towards the guest courtyard.

They meowed back and forth, as if they were exchanging some information. Amuro Toru was curious, and deliberately lagged behind Hanami, and finally couldn't help asking: "Hana, what are they talking about, can you tell me?" ?"

Jing Guang glanced at him lightly.

Huajian looked for Jing Guang's opinion, and the corner of the latter's lips slightly raised: "They are discussing the name of Date's girlfriend, what does Mr. Amuro think?"

Toru Amuro was startled, he looked down at the two cats, and then at Nishisen who disappeared after Conan Hattori.

"Maybe Natalie."

He didn't know what to think, and after a few seconds of silence, he answered softly.

Jing Guang's eyes moved slightly, remembering that Young Shunran only found out about the news a year after Date's death in a car accident, he felt emotional and didn't say anything else.

Hanajian stopped when she passed by the door of her room.

"This case is obviously artificial. I'm not interested in investigating murder cases, so I won't follow it."

As she spoke, she opened the door, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the corner of her clothes exposed in the shadow of the corner, and specifically said: "I want to go to bed early today, so don't bother me."

Jing Guang felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it.

He and Toru Amuro took the two cats and finally arrived at Sasaki's room. As soon as the door opened, he saw Sasaki, who had turned into a transparent shadow, rushing towards Masato Sugiyama fiercely.

After all, it's just futile.

Sasaki jumped at Sugiyama in disbelief and shouted: "You bastard, you dare to kill me, I want revenge! Revenge!"

She is just a newborn undead, so weak that she will disappear as soon as the sun shines on it.

No matter how noisy it is, no one will notice its existence.

On the surface, Sugiyama is impeccable, but he still has the depressed face of losing his lover suddenly and being hit hard. He doesn't know that there is an undead around him who sells him to the sky.

Jingguang, Hagiwara, and Matsuda, who can see clearly and hear clearly, said: "..."

After fluttering for a long time, Sasaki finally accepted that he could not cause any harm to Sugiyama, covering his face and crying loudly. She could not shed any tears, but she was still crying so hard that people couldn't bear to look directly at her.

Jing Guang sighed silently.

Even he finds it difficult to get along with people of this character.Moreover, she still kept saying that her friend was a beast. As a policeman, it was one thing to sympathize with her when an ordinary person was killed, but it was another thing to have a grudge in her heart.

Let's remind Toru Amuro that he can't just let the murderer get away with it.

When thinking like this, Jing Guang accidentally met Sasaki's gaze, who was stunned and then ran towards him overjoyed: "You can see me! Quickly arrest this murderer, I want him to die!"

Jing Guang calmly let go of the coercion of the intermediate ghost's power, and the suppressed Sasaki showed fear on his face and did not dare to be presumptuous again.

Hagiwara walked into the room unhurriedly: "Let's go, Matsuda, we will also help with the investigation."

Matsuda responded and followed.

Seeing the two cats talking as if no one was there, Sasaki became even more frightened and tried to squeeze himself into the corner.

When Hattori and Conan came back from investigating the stone wall, they both showed a confident smile.

The two of them glanced at Masato Sugiyama intentionally or unintentionally, and their tactics were roughly clear. The problem was that no evidence was found, and the heavy snow from afternoon to night had almost buried the traces.

The two decided to look directly at the suspects for clues.

Divided into two parts...

Jing Guang, Hagiwara, and Matsuda followed the search detectives and the four suspects to leave. From the victim's room to Hanami's door, there were corridors and grass in the middle of the yard, and no one saw a petite figure sneaking into Hanami. s room.

Hanami sat at the table, poured herself a glass of water leisurely, and was not surprised to see Hitomi Takayama slipping into her room.

In the afternoon, Lan and He Ye were too enthusiastic, and Hua Jian had no time to be alone. Originally, she particularly disliked high temperature and things related to fire. She was not very good at rejecting other people's kindness, so she couldn't resist their temptation, so she went to soak for a long time spa.

Then she is really fragrant.

As a result, it was only now that he had the opportunity to stay alone in the room and let Xiaotong come to her.

Huajian poured her a glass of water: "You posted the commission in your sister's name, right? What do you want me to do?"

Xiao Tong thanked her in a low voice, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I didn't expect you to come, because none of the spirit detectives I asked for before replied to me."

With such a small commission fee, it is indeed not easy to be accepted.

If it is far away, the entrustment fee is not enough to pay for the round-trip transportation and accommodation expenses. If Hua sees that he chooses by himself, he probably won't be able to pick this entrustment.

Hua Jian smiled: "What do you mean when you said that there is really a snow girl?"

Xiaotong bit her lip lightly, looking at Huajian with a bit of uneasiness in her eyes, as if she was worried about something, but she really wanted something, and she was still struggling whether to say it or not.

"Do you and your sister look alike?"

Huajian didn't rush her, but asked her casually after looking at her for a while: "I heard from your mother that your sister Xiaochun committed suicide five years ago, and you came to me in her name, and you commissioned me to come here." Is the real purpose related to her?"

"How do you know that I resemble my sister?" Xiao Tong was surprised.

After my sister passed away, everything was put away, there were no photos at home, and my parents would not casually mention her passing away to outsiders.

Hana asked without answering, "Do you have any photos?"

She has a guess to verify.

Xiaotong nodded hesitantly, took out his mobile phone and flipped through it for a while and handed it to Hanami. On the screen was a group photo of two girls who looked exactly the same.

The older one had a palm-sized irregular purple birthmark on the left temple near the ear, and the other girl with a more immature face was Xiaotong. It looked like it was taken when Xiaotong was in her teens.

The little pupil in front of him is a third-year junior high school student.

The eyebrows and eyes of the two girls are very similar, and the blood relationship can be confirmed at a glance. Seeing the photo of Takayama Jun during his lifetime, Hanami knows that the woman who appeared outside Sasaki's window is her.

The dead Takayama Jun turned into a snow girl by some chance, stayed here, was noticed by Xiaotong, and found the spirit detective for some purpose.

"If... I mean, if you really found the Snow Girl, what would you do?"

"This is-"

Huajian felt the vague coldness in the air, turned her head and looked out of the window, her unfinished words were stained with a faint smile: "It depends on what she wants to do."

Gao Shanjun walked into the room under Xiaotong's surprised gaze and bowed solemnly to Hanami: "Master Hanami."

"You know me?" Hanami asked curiously.

"Your appearance is very similar to Mrs. Yue, she will know you as soon as you come."

Hua Jian looked towards the mountain that was buried in the night and heavy snow behind the hotel. She hadn't seen her mother for a long time.The mother and daughter have rarely seen each other since she was able to change human form.

The last time we met was when Zaiyue learned that she picked up Jingguang and went home.

The attitudes about her joining the special department later, going to university as a human, etc. are all conveyed by familiar human supernatural powers.

"You stay here for me, I'm going to see my mother."

Huajian wanted to tell Jing Guang at first, but seeing that he was still helping to investigate the case, she thought that she would come back soon and let it go, leaving Gao Shanjun, who changed from a dead spirit to a snow girl because of the snow demon's power, as herself hotel.

Xiaotong witnessed the whole process dumbfounded, and only looked at the unfamiliar and familiar Takayama Jun after the flower disappeared.

"Sister, is it really you?"

Takayama Jun is covered with the shell of Hanami, but the exposed skin is pale white. She has no warmth, dare not hug Xiaotong, and only looks at her younger sister who has grown up in comfort.

"You know I'm the one who asked the spirit detective, right? You want to see me? Aren't you afraid?"

Xiaotong shook her head violently, rushed forward and hugged her regardless, her nose was sore, and tears came down: "I am not afraid, as long as I am a sister, I will not be afraid. You protect me when you are alive, don't tell me you will hurt me when you die?" me?"

Her tears flowed more and more fiercely, and finally she couldn't help crying: "Sister, I miss you so much."

Gao Shanjun was in a panic and wanted to push his sister away, but he felt the temperature coming from her body, and the healthy red spread from the purple fingertips in the white, invading the skin inch by inch.

She froze...

There were chaotic and hasty footsteps outside the door, and the door was suddenly pulled open, and a group of people crowded around the door, their worries turned into astonishment when they touched this scene.

"See you, what's wrong?"

The two cats didn't have so many scruples, they thought something was wrong with Huajian, and rushed into the room immediately.

Jing Guang stood at the door with a puzzled expression and asked.

"It's okay. I asked Xiaotong about the entrustment. When I mentioned her sister, she was a little sad."

Gao Shanjun knew that Jing Guang came with Hanami.But she didn't see the other party's identity, and thought he was an ordinary human being like everyone else, and she wanted to help cover up the fact that Hanami was not here.

Xiaotong tried to calm down, wiped away her tears indiscriminately and apologized.

Seeing that nothing happened, everyone prepared to go back and continue to study the death of Sasaki. Jun Takayama saw Masato Sugiyama at the end of the crowd, his eyes filled with frost.

The proprietress appeared again and told the detectives that the kimono at the crime scene belonged to Xiaochun who died five years ago.

Except for Sugiyama, the other three had strange expressions.

This finally brought up the topic of the relationship between Takayama Jun and the few of them. When investigating the room where the infiltrated Takayama Jun lived before his death, the detectives finally understood the motive from their narration.

Earlier, Gao Shanjun and the four of them were good friends. They had known each other since middle school, and only Sugiyama joined after transferring to another school.

After being admitted to university, Sugiyama and Takayama Jun began dating.

But the good times didn't last long. The appearance of Sasaki caused the relationship between the two to break down, and they broke up not long after, and then Sasaki and Sugiyama were together.

The three of Ikeda and the others hated Sasaki. This time they came to the hotel to pay homage to Takayama Jun. Who knew that Sugiyama brought Sasaki with him, and the atmosphere between them was not harmonious at all.

As for Sugiyama's motives, you can see the slap he caught off guard in the restaurant.

When looking for clues in Takayama Jun's room, Mori Kogoro stood at the door with his fists folded and asked casually, "So the purpose of putting the dead friend's clothes next to the deceased is to show that the motive is related to the other party?"

A flash of sarcasm flashed across Gao Shanjun's face, and he said in a low voice: "It's not just that, it's because it has something to do with the legend of Xuenv."

Several detectives turned to look at her at the same time.

Conan asked: "What legend? Is there any special meaning to putting a kimono next to the corpse with snowdrifts on it?"

Jun Takayama suddenly realized that he was playing Hanami, and she shouldn't be so aware of the local rumors about Yukiko when she just arrived.

"In the stories we have here, Xue Nu was killed by her husband and her husband's lover. She avenged herself, and later she would specifically attack those men who betrayed their wives. Those who were killed by Xue Nu are surrounded by There will be white clothes and snowdrifts, and the clothes are made out of snow by the Snow Maiden."

Everyone's eyes turned to Sugiyama Masato in unison.

He said embarrassingly: "I was with Yuka after I broke up with Xiaochun peacefully. Isn't it normal for adults to break up in a relationship? It can't be said that I betrayed Xiaochun."

Strange...

Conan held half-moon eyes, just from Ikeda's statement that they were three, it was clear that Sugiyama cheated on Sasaki before being broken up by Takayama Jun.

By the time I left Takayama Jun's room, it was getting late.

Conan and Hattori were very helpless when they did not find any evidence that directly identified Sugiyama as the murderer.

The two went back to the room to review the investigation process. When they heard the noise in the corridor, they went out to check and found that Ikeda and the others were crowded at the gate of Sugiyama.

Hattori walked over with his hands in his pockets and asked, "Why are you all here?"

Ishikawa Akiko said: "Sugiyama didn't know what to do in the room, and kept making strange noises. I was so disturbed that I couldn't sleep, and I was about to come to him. Yi-kun and Chihori were the same as me. But he never opened the door."

At this moment, the lights in the room came on, and everyone's expressions changed suddenly.

The figure cast on the door dangled in the air at its feet, and the shadow tied with a rope was clearly visible at the neck hanging from the ceiling to hang it.

Hattori knocked open the door and found Masato Sugiyama hanging on it.

And outside the window facing the door, there was a woman in white clothes with disheveled hair and a pale complexion. She seemed to be standing there deliberately to be seen by others, and she smiled sinisterly at everyone, and her figure slowly retreated.

The heavy snow still did not stop, and the visibility of the lights at night was limited, and her figure completely disappeared a few meters away.

After being shocked, Conan quickly regained his senses, rushed to the window and turned on the flashlight of his watch to look at the snow outside the window. His pupils shrank slightly, and he froze in place.

No, nothing.

The snow was flat, only snowflakes were falling continuously, and the woman who retreated and disappeared from the crowd just now really did not leave any footprints.

how can that be!

Hattori swallowed his saliva, and managed to regain his voice: "Hey Kudo, you also saw that woman..."

"Ah, it's very clear."

The two turned their heads at the same time, besides Sugiyama, Ikeda, Ishikawa and Ishida were all there. In terms of motives, only the three of them could kill Sugiyama.

The expressions of the three people collectively shocked to the point that their souls were out of their bodies did not seem to be fake.

Mori Kogoro had already taken down Sugiyama's body, shook his head and said, "The person is already dead, and the time of death should not exceed 10 minutes."

Toru Amuro lived far away, standing at the back of the crowd.

Seeing that Hua Jian came a few seconds later than himself, he was about to ask her if she had seen that extremely weird woman, and was surprised when she saw Jing Guang counting nine cold winter's face.

Inside the room, Conan and Hattori began to investigate Sugiyama's body.

Gao Shanchun looked at several old friends with complicated eyes, and turned to leave, but was clamped by Jing Guang's wrist, and when he looked up, he spoke in a low voice without looking back.

"You're not Hanami, who the hell are you?"
