Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 272 The Uninvited Guest

At noon, the group went to the service area of ​​the ski resort to have lunch together, and then chatted about interesting things about Xiaolan and Yuanzi's elementary school days. It was three o'clock in the afternoon in the blink of an eye.

"Speaking of which, Teacher Sugiyama is really slow. Why haven't you come yet?" Looking up at the clock on the wall, Yonehara Koko couldn't help but frown.

"Who is Teacher Sugiyama?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"He is the music teacher of our school, and we will come together for this event." Shimoda Kohei took the initiative to explain after hearing this, "But we clearly agreed to meet here at two o'clock in the afternoon, but I didn't expect that he would be late."

Hearing the complaints from two colleagues, Minori Nakamura smiled and raised another possibility: "Could it be that Teacher Sugiyama had gone to the villa we rented in advance and wanted to ambush us there to scare us?" Let’s dance?”

Yonehara Koko looked stunned when she heard this, nodded in approval: "Maybe this is true, after all, Sugiyama-sensei likes to do this kind of thing the most."

Thinking of this, several teachers did not intend to wait any longer and were ready to drive to the villa on the mountain immediately. Conan and his party also agreed to the request of their companions under the warm invitation of the two male teachers.

Halfway along the mountain road, snowflakes suddenly appeared outside the car window. In desperation, Shimoda Kohei, who was in charge of driving, had to slow down the car and couldn't help complaining about who decided to set the team building location in such a bird's eye view. In the mountains of shit.

After the four teachers communicated, they discovered that it was not any of them who organized the team building. Instead, they received the team building notice in their respective drawers and came to gather.

Fortunately, the key to the villa was also placed in Minori Nakamura's drawer. Everyone decided to rush to the villa as soon as possible before the snow fell heavily, and asked Mr. Sugiyama who arrived there in advance if it was organized by the other party. this event.

Half an hour later, the group finally arrived at the predetermined location before the heavy snow closed the mountain, and took shelter in this mountain villa that could protect them from wind and rain.

Seeing the complete heating system and fireplace in the room, everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, thinking that they had finally avoided the fate of being stuck on the mountain road and freezing to death. Xiaolan and Yuanzi also called their home immediately and informed them. I will stay in a villa with my elementary school teacher tonight.

Just when several teachers were looking for Mr. Sugiyama separately, the doorbell suddenly sounded at the entrance. So several people subconsciously thought that the person outside the door was Mr. Sugiyama, so they gathered at the door together, ready to join forces to fight against the prank. .

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Sugiyama..." Minori Nakamura spoke first as soon as she opened the door, but before she could finish her words, the figure that appeared in front of several people made her look frightened, and she immediately I swallowed the words in mid-sentence.

I saw a tall, thin man in a gray coat standing at the door with a gloomy face. After seeing the four people in the entrance, he sneered with an evil smile: "Haha, I didn't expect you are all here."

The four people standing at the entrance looked frightened after seeing each other. The temperature of the entire room seemed to drop to freezing point at this moment, and there was silence for a while.Yangzi in the distance glanced at the visitor and ignored him. Yuanzi, who was the least able to read the air, was the first to speak and broke the silence in the room: "Hey, who are you? You are so mysterious when you come here so late. Secret."

Facing Sonoko's questioning, the man did not show any displeasure. Instead, he introduced himself in a strange way: "My name is Atsushi Mori, and I am just an ordinary person who received a lot of care from these people three years ago. Just a newspaper reporter.”

"Why are you here?!" Sensing the unkindness in the other person's words, Ryuichi Itai couldn't help but asked sharply.

"Haha, you asked me why I'm here?" Hearing this, Sentoshi raised the corners of his mouth and replied mysteriously, "Of course it's because someone tipped me off that something big will happen here tonight."

"Something big is going to happen?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard the other party's alarmist warning. Even Conan, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, changed his face instantly, staring at the other party's expression in an attempt to get rid of this uninvited guest. Some clues can be seen above.

"Originally, I drove the car nearby just intending to stay in the car and observe the events that might happen here, but I didn't expect that it suddenly started snowing heavily outside. I was forced to come in and take shelter." Sundoshi explained while explaining himself. The reason for knocking on the door was as he swaggered through the crowd towards the warm living room.

Itai Ryuichi tried to stop the other party's rude behavior, but was choked back by the other party's next sentence: "Is it okay for you to do this? I will write in the report that the teacher of Aido Elementary School ignored humanity and killed a newspaper reporter Reporter left to die in a blizzard.”

"So I advise you to think carefully about whether we should live in harmony for the time being." After saying that, Sendoshi ignored the angry looks of several people and walked to the fireplace to sit down and warm himself.

Seeing that the deal was already done, since the other party had already come in and could no longer kick people out, the four teachers had no choice but to leave separately, as far away as possible from the reporter who seemed to have some kind of entanglement with them, so there was only one person left in the living room. Sentonshi and Conan's group.

Seeing the other person's back facing the fireplace, Yuanzi complained unhappily: "I finally came here happily to play, but the pleasant atmosphere was suddenly ruined by that annoying guy. It's really disappointing."

"Yuanzi, don't say that. I was forced to come in to seek refuge." Hearing Yuanzi speak frankly in front of the opponent, Xiaolan quickly spoke to smooth things over, and then came to Yangzi who was watching the snow scene by the window and whispered. Asked, "Yangzi, do you think there will be any problems with that reporter? I always feel that there is some ulterior secret between him and Mr. Yonehara."

Seeing that Xiaolan did not blindly trust others but had doubts, Yangzi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Don't worry, although Mr. Sen is a bit mean on the surface, he is not a bad person, but your teacher and her colleagues Apparently he reacted this way because he kept secret about something that happened three years ago.”

"As for what will happen tonight, I'm not sure whether it's alarmist or not, but since the other party can come all the way to find this villa in the wilderness, it must be someone related to this event who has revealed the news."

"Although I don't know who called the reporter here for what purpose, but at present it seems that it is likely to have something to do with what he said about the incident three years ago. We still have to do more tonight. Be careful in case something unexpected happens."
