Facing the strange look in the landlady's eyes, Hanyu Qing'an asked: "Have Miss Kinoshita and Miss Asanuma gone in to the hot springs?"
The landlady shook her head, "I'm not sure about that. I was busy in the kitchen just now. Master, are you going to...?"
The expression on the landlady's face was mysterious, as if she understood something, but what exactly she understood, Hanyu Qing'an had no clue.
"It's nothing, I just want to confirm something with Miss Kinoshita. You go ahead and we won't disturb you."
The landlady suddenly understood, nodded and turned to leave. She didn't know what she had realized.
Several people went to Kinoshita Akiko's room to confirm as planned, but no one responded after knocking for a long time. Finally, Mao Lilan and Conan were allowed to go in and check it out against the rules.
Well, they have done this a lot anyway, and both of them are very familiar with it.
Sure enough, the room was empty.
After confirming, they walked towards the hot spring again and stood at the entrance. Mao Lilan hesitated and whispered: "This is not good. You must remove your makeup when soaking in a hot spring. Celebrities should be very taboo about being seen without makeup...
…”
The three men, Hanyu Qing'an, looked at each other, and after thinking about it, they decided... to go into the men's bath and listen to how many people are next door. If necessary, you can also consider letting Mao Lilan peek next door.
This was Mao Lilan's first time entering a men's bath. It felt strange, but since it was just a bathroom and a hot spring, the facilities on both sides were actually exactly the same, there was no difference, and they were both wearing clothes, so she quickly got used to it.
Not all of them were wearing clothes. In order to pretend that someone was really bathing in the hot springs here, Conan's clothes were stripped off. After a while, he was responsible for entering the water and making the sound of water.
Conan covered his lower body and looked at Hanyu Kiyosu who made the decision and Mouri Kogoro who executed the decision with a look of shame and anger.
Mao Lilan touched his head and comforted in a low voice: "It's okay, there is nothing to be shy about."
What she naturally meant was that Conan and she had taken a bath together, and they had already seen what they needed to see, and the other two were both men, so there was no problem at all.
However, Conan didn't think so. This was completely a public execution, especially the weird smile on the corner of Hanyu Qingyasu's mouth! What he was thinking about must be Kudo Shinichi's bare butt here!
However, even if you have already taken off your clothes, you can’t give up halfway.
So the four of them entered the open-air hot spring part together, and then Conan and Mouri Kogoro sang and chatted in harmony while letting Conan get into the water.
Conan and Kogoro Mouri have practiced double reciting for a long time, and now they are acting in their true colors, so they look very natural. Soon, the sound of coughing can be heard next door.
"Mingzi, are you okay? I think it would be better for you to see a doctor."
"Well, that's true, then I'll go up first."
"Okay, I want to soak for a while longer."
Then there was a sound of water, as if someone had left the hot spring. It seemed that there was no need to peep. Hanyu Qing'an quickly asked Mao Lilan to squat at the door of the female hot spring to see if anyone was leaving.
"Mr. Mori, are you there?" Yoko Asanuma suddenly shouted to this side.
Mouri Kogoro quickly replied: "Ah? Yes, I am."
"After taking a dip in the hot springs later, do you want to have a glass of wine together?"
Mouri Kogoro instantly forgot about Kinoshita Akiko and replied excitedly: "Of course!"
Hanyu Qing'an whispered to Conan: "You continue to listen to the sounds next door. Detective Mori and I will go outside."
Conan nodded and continued to soak in his hot spring.
I took Mouri Kogoro to the entrance of the hot spring and asked Mouri Ran. Sure enough, no one came out. It was Asanuma Yoko who played two roles.
The three of them waited for a while, and Yoko Asanuma came out. The skin on her face that had just been in the hot spring was rosy and she looked bright and charming. However, after confirming that something was definitely wrong with Akiko Kinoshita, Kogoro Mouri no longer had the intention to look at the beauty.
"Miss Asanuma, where did Miss Akiko Kinoshita go?" Mouri Kogoro's serious face made Yoko Asanuma stunned.
She forced a smile and replied: "Detective Maori must have heard it just now. Akiko is not feeling well, so she went back to the room first."
Mouri Kogoro's heart sank, "It's absolutely impossible. My daughter has been guarding here and didn't even see Miss Kinoshita come out of the hot spring. The Miss Kinoshita who just spoke in the hot spring was just played by you."
Yoko Asanuma's face turned a little paler. She gritted her teeth and quickly thought of words, "This...this...is actually Akiko. She is going on a date with an underground lover, so please ask me to help her cover up so that no one will know that she left secretly."
Went to a B&B.”
Mouri Kogoro's eyes widened immediately, and he turned to look at Hanyu Kiyosu. It seemed that there was no problem at all! It was reasonable!
But then I felt heartache. Such a beautiful star would go to another hotel to date some man. It's really abominable!
Hanyu Kiyosu took a deep look at Asanuma Yoko. Although he didn't remember this case at all, and there were indeed ulterior motives in Conan, his intuition told him that this woman was lying.
And if she was really afraid of scandals, Asanuma Yoko shouldn't have told herself and others so easily. It was obviously abnormal for her to tell her in such a hurry after just asking.
"When will Miss Kinoshita come back?" Hanyu Qing'an asked calmly.
Yoko Asanuma smiled, seemingly very satisfied with the excuse she had come up with at the moment, with a hint of pride in her eyes, "She promised before she left that she would be back before dawn tomorrow."
Hanyu Qing'an looked at the window at the end of the corridor. Snow was falling heavily outside, "Are you coming back in the heavy snow? Maybe you will meet a snow girl."
Yoko Asanuma thought he was joking, "Where can there be monsters like Yuki-onna? Even if there is one, it's no problem if you encounter her. Akiko is also a Yuki-onna. She shouldn't be harmed by the Yuki-onna. At most, she will be taken away and become a companion."
Hanyu Qing'an nodded, "What you said is very possible. If she dies in such a snowy day, she will indeed have a chance to become a snow girl."
Asanuma Yoko's heart trembled, but she frowned and wanted to blame this strange person for talking nonsense.
However, before she could speak, Hanyu Qingan changed his clothes in the blink of an eye, and his whole temperament became as cold as the wind and snow outside.
"Like this snow girl..."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the charm flew out, turning into a snow girl.
"It's impossible for a frozen heart to beat, right?"
The Yuki Ono's lines and hollow, penetrating eyes made Asanuma Yoko tremble. Her eyes widened and she looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. She couldn't figure out the situation. Her mind was in chaos. She managed to stay calm and asked:
"Is this some kind of magic? Cursing others is a bit too much!"
