Mouri Kogoro pondered for a while, "Is it possible that the murderer created an illusion. After the person jumped, he actually returned to the hotel again."

Conan smiled and nodded. What his uncle said this time made sense.

"What you said is very..."

Just as the police officer was about to agree, the previous police officer ran over again, apparently making new discoveries.

The police officer listened expectantly, maybe he discovered some key information. However, after listening, the police officer's gloomy face turned dark.

"Mr. Maori, the inference may be overturned. Our police conducted a careful investigation within one kilometer of the snow cave, and finally found a simple ski less than 300 meters away from the snow cave. That location happened to be a low-lying area.

On flat ground, the murderer probably chose to abandon this simple ski because of the inconvenient terrain." The police officer stated the current situation in the shortest possible time.

Now he no longer has any expectations. It snowed heavily overnight. Even the famous detective Mouri Kogoro would not be able to find the murderer in this situation.

"Are there any other discoveries?" Mouri Kogoro asked after falling into deep thought.

Mouri Kogoro also asked casually. There was still too little known so far. There was no correct idea for solving the case, and there was no... that drowsy feeling about solving the case.

"By the way! Another thing is that the murderer doesn't seem to know how to use snowboards." Regardless of whether it was useful or not, the police officer told Mouri Kogoro everything he knew.

"Why is there such an inference?" Conan was a little surprised.

The heavy snow had obviously covered everything, so where did the police infer that the murderer didn't know how to ski? And why didn't the murderer hide the skis? It would be difficult for the police to find the snowboard if it was dug and buried casually in such deep snow. Be prepared.

It took such a long time to leave some flaws in the end, which I shouldn't think about.

"Because the length of the simple ski pole next to the ski is too short. Judging from this length, the murderer may be squatting on the ski." After saying this, the police officer immediately felt that his description was a bit inappropriate. After all, for his own stability

, skiing originally requires frequent slight squats to maintain the balance of the body. Standing straight all the time is really too long for your life.

"I'm not talking about the kind of slight squatting, but the kind of squatting with the knees completely bent. Of course, I don't rule out the possibility of kneeling or lying directly on the skis. Because the ski poles are too short, the only thing we the police can think of is

These postures are very dangerous, so our police speculate that the murderer does not have much skiing experience," the police officer said.

After finishing speaking, the scene fell into a brief silence, and I didn't know how to comment.

Sit on the skis!

Like lightning piercing the night sky, after Conan heard this sentence, he felt suddenly enlightened. It turns out that this is how the murderer did it.

In this case, everything can be explained. The two impossible crimes, ho ho, are actually just a cover-up cleverly designed by the murderer.

Conan, who understood everything, was not in a hurry to uncover the truth of the case, but turned to look at Ye who had been behind everyone.

"Tons, tons, tons, tons, tons, tons, tons!" Ye Zheng held up a cup and took a swig of cool water.

There is a fire in my heart and I have no place to vent it. No matter how I kneel or lie down, I am an upright skier.

"Tons, tons, tons, tons, tons, tons!" After another sip, I felt like my soul was being touched.

Ye, who was holding a glass bottle and taking a swig of cold drinks, suddenly noticed someone looking at him.

"What are you doing?"

Is there something wrong with this Conan? He looks at me weirdly. Think carefully about it, I haven’t done anything untoward secretly recently. I always “asked” for snacks in front of me, and “borrowed” change in front of me.

"Well, these are not sneaky. Any conflicts are resolved face to face.

Ye felt a little embarrassed when Conan kept staring at him, so he turned around and started drinking again.

Conan didn't say anything and walked around quietly.

"That wild rabbit is hard to catch!" Conan whispered.

"How is it possible? That rabbit was so stupid that he bumped into my hand. If it hadn't been caught outside, I would have suspected that it was domesticated..." Ye, who was angry in his heart, was asked this question as if he was pregnant.

The dam that had been filled with water for a long time suddenly opened its gates to release floodwaters, shaking loudly.

Halfway through the words, Ye, who was holding the bottle, froze, feeling that something was wrong. He lowered his head and found that Conan's originally strange eyes had become very unfriendly.

Conan said angrily: "It is indeed you!"

Ye: "Well, if I tell you now that I have had severe sleepwalking since I was a child, would you believe it?"

Conan stared at Ye and shouted loudly: "Sister Xiaolan!"

Ye was so frightened that she immediately covered Conan's mouth, "Stop, stop, stop! You have something to say. In fact, my sleepwalking is not that serious."

"If you are sick, you must treat it. Don't suppress it, otherwise a minor illness will turn into a serious one." The proud Conan began to get angry, and Ye Ye was so angry that she clenched her teeth tightly. "You said that if someone else is sick, should I buy some?

Let’s take a look at the fruits and stuff, but I have recently lent my money to someone. I don’t have any money at the moment, and I don’t know when someone will be able to exchange it for me.” Conan became petty.

Ye Lan had stopped talking nonsense. This time he admitted his defeat and took out two 10,000 yuan bills from his pocket. He said very proudly: "Take the flowers, you don't have to pay back the extra ones!"

"So generous?" Conan was stunned and took the money from Ye's hand. He was a little surprised. He never thought that he would get the money back so easily. To be honest, he had no intention of getting back the money he had borrowed before.

The two have lived together for so long, and this is the first time Conan has found Ye to be so generous.

But soon Conan realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, you still owe me more than five thousand.",

Every time I borrowed money, it was sporadic. The amount was not much, but it was so many times that I couldn't keep it down. The total amount borrowed has long exceeded 20,000. Now I don't have to pay back the excess.

There is obviously an ambiguity. This can be understood as not looking for the excess, or not returning the remaining. Normally, when hearing this and the tone, it must be the first interpretation, but what Ye means here is obviously not the same.

"Oh, why do you remember such a small thing so clearly? You won't pay back the rest. I will try to borrow less money from you in the future. What do you think?"

"I...thank you!"

...

It was approaching evening, and after Conan prepared everything, he called Mouri Kogoro to the female bath where the murder occurred.

This place has been cleaned, not only the corpses and long-sleeved kimonos, but also the blood in the hot springs has been drained and replaced with clean spring water, as if yesterday's murder never happened.

Only the setting sun dyes the pool a faint golden red, reminding people of everything that has happened here.

"You said you made a new discovery? Are you serious? If you lie to me, you know the consequences!" Mouri Kogoro, who was following Conan, said impatiently.

"Of course it's true, Uncle Mouri. Hey, Mr. Police Officer, you're here too." Conan turned around to explain, and at the same time looked behind Kogoro Mouri in surprise.

Mouri Kogoro was startled and turned around. There was nothing behind him. "Is there anyone there?"

Just as he was about to turn around and question Conan, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, like being bitten by a mosquito.
