Chapter 147 When Yoko Asanuma chooses to escape...
Snow, snow girl...
Conan stared in disbelief at the "bulge" walking on the white ridge.
Even through the howling wind and snow, you can still see clearly that there is a thick layer of snow on top.
That's a walking "snowman"!
I remember yesterday Xiaolan said that she saw the snow girl moving on the ridge, but when she went to look, she couldn't see even half of her figure.
Could it be that Xiaolan saw it right, that there really is a snow girl?
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
I had to confirm it with my own eyes!
As a staunch materialist warrior, Conan's eyes suddenly became determined. He stood up and opened the window and was about to jump out. Fortunately, Mao Lilan next to him caught Conan back and held him in his arms as he was about to jump out.
"No! Conan!"
"It's too dangerous outside! You'll freeze to death!"
The wind and snow blew into the window, and Conan, who was gritting his teeth, could only watch the "snowman" on the ridge becoming more and more clear.
etc...
Is it getting clearer?
No, that seems to be...
"Sister Xiaolan! That doesn't seem to be a snow girl, it's a human!"
"Someone should be in danger there and needs our help!"
After saying that, Conan hurried to the hot spring bathing area to find Kogoro Mori.
...
"Boy, if you lie, see how I deal with you when I come back!"
Mouri Kogoro, who was dragged out of the hot spring by Conan, put on his ski clothes while threatening Conan.
Next to him, Conan, who had been dressed for a long time, had a heavy expression.
Just now, when Kogoro Mouri dried his body and came out, Conan went to the room of the female star and Qin Zhibo and knocked on the door, but found that none of the three came back.
In fact, while at the ski resort, Conan saw these three people skiing in two groups into the obstacle ski area that most people would not try.
In addition, the blizzard came so suddenly, maybe the three of them were trapped in the woods near the ski resort, and the strongest representative was sent to ask for help?
so...
"Let's go quickly, uncle."
After saying that, Conan turned around and was about to go out first, but the wooden sliding door of the B&B was suddenly opened from the outside with a loud bang.
I saw a thick humanoid creature covered in white snow standing outside the door. Its eyes were glowing with green light, and there were a series of unknown protrusions behind it.
"Snow monster!"
"ah!"
Mouri Kogoro was so frightened that he sat down on the floor, Xiaolan also screamed, and the owner of the B&B, his wife and Conan were all frightened to varying degrees.
However, when the "humanoid creature" stood there and shook off the snow on its body, its true appearance as a human being was revealed.
"Mr. Qin!"
Qin Zhibo loosened the shroud strap around his waist and placed the "bulge" on his back, which was actually the unconscious Akiko Kinoshita, on the ground.
Before anyone could ask, Qin Zhibo began to introduce the case.
"Yoko Asanuma was jealous of Akiko Kinoshita who always bullied her, so she planned to kill Akiko Kinoshita during this trip."
"She first took Akiko Kinoshita to the woods, and then tricked Akiko Kinoshita into drinking sleeping pills in an attempt to freeze her to death."
"But I stopped her murder plan."
"The only regret is that Yoko Asanuma escaped during the snowstorm."
There was no fancy reasoning, and the final result of the case was firmly thrust into everyone's heads.
Everyone present looked at Qin Zhibo in disbelief, surprised by his "reasoning" without warning.
Conan, in particular, was even more unacceptable.
what's the situation?
This feeling was like being in an exam. Before the invigilator handed out the paper, a candidate named Qin who was in the same room as him announced that he had finished the paper.
He even killed the invigilator and the exam was canceled directly?
Didn’t you lose too completely this time?
But thinking about it from another perspective, Qin Zhibo solved the case quickly and successfully saved a life.
Conan could only comfort himself in this way.
At this time, Mao Lilan came back to her senses and asked a more humane question with a worried look on her face.
"What about Ms. Asanuma Yoko? Is she in danger if she stays outside now?"
Mouri Kogoro said seriously: "It's snowing outside right now, and we will be in danger if we go out rashly."
"Although I feel sorry for her, I can only wait until the snowstorm subsides tomorrow before looking for her..."
...
On a night of howling snowstorms, a lonely pink figure was walking in the ice and snow.
Under the extremely cold and biting wind, the ski clothing woven by modern technological civilization cannot withstand it for too long.
The cold wind stung Asanuma Yoko's skin like sharp needles that could easily pass through the holes in her clothes.
In the sky full of ice and snow, Asanuma Yoko could only shrink her body as much as possible, praying that the heat in her body would drain away more slowly, and rely on her remaining will to move in the right direction that her frozen brain believed.
Maybe there's a place to take refuge there?
As for the temperature...
30 ° C?
Or is it the extreme cold that only exists in the Arctic Circle?
Yoko Asanuma's skin is now completely numb from the cold, and she has lost the concept of temperature.
The only thing I know is that after a while, all the blood on my body will be frozen to the point of stopping flowing.
At this time, another gust of wind blew by, and Asanuma Yoko's body "broken" like a weak straw.
Yoko Asanuma fell heavily to the snow, and as her consciousness gradually blurred, the corners of her mouth, which were red and chapped from the cold, turned up at an angle.
How ridiculous...
I wanted to freeze Akiko to death, but now I'm going to freeze to death instead.
It's been this long, and Yoko Asanuma still hasn't forgotten to express the self-mockery of an actor in her heart.
In the dim snowstorm weather, Asanuma Yoko's consciousness of survival gradually weakened.
Now she only feels that her body is getting heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes quickly accumulating on her back are like a thick quilt, making people lie in it without wanting to move.
The upper and lower eyelids seemed to be equipped with magnets that attracted each other, making it extremely difficult to keep my eyes open every second.
The lullaby of her childhood seemed to be ringing in her ears, reminding her that it was time to return home...
However, just when Asanuma Yoko's consciousness was wandering between the dilemma of reality and the illusion of nothingness, the cold wind in the sky suddenly stopped.
The snowflakes that were originally tilted almost parallel to the ground suddenly turned to fall vertically, and a calm and elegant snowy night replaced the extremely cold ice and snowy night just now.
Somehow, the body regained some warmth. This warm current flowed into Asanuma Yoko's almost frozen brain, causing Asanuma Yoko's newly closed eyes to reopen.
The snow...has gotten smaller?
Opening her eyes, Asanuma Yoko was pleasantly surprised to find that the surrounding environment suddenly became gentle.
The surroundings that were dark just now are actually much brighter now!
After lying in the snow for a while, Asanuma Yoko picked up her body, which had regained some consciousness, and moved forward with her waist bent.
Sure enough, God still favors me!
I can still live on!
As long as I can survive, I can go back and ask for Akiko's forgiveness...
Walking out of the blizzard area, the joy of life made Yoko Asanuma's mind come alive.
But at a high place where Asanuma Yoko had not noticed yet, a huge and skinny human figure was hiding sideways next to a tall spruce tree.
His long, withered hair swayed in the wind along with his body like a ghost.
On that face, which was horribly twisted and almost deformed by pain, eyes that were as red as a red-hot iron were staring directly at the little ant walking on the snow.
