It's reasonable to have more than 100 million vests in the world of science, right?

Chapter 646 One Person Missing

Furuya Shinnosuke waved his hand nonchalantly, not paying any attention to his reminder, "I know, I know."

Before Conan followed Kogoro Mori away, he looked back at Shinnosuke Furuya who had occupied the entire hot spring.

When they came out, five women happened to come out as well.

Harada Yumiko straightened her wet hair and said, "It was really comfortable to soak in the hot spring this time. Let's do it again next time."

"Indeed, the water temperature is just right." Kawabata Megumi nodded in agreement with a smile.

Okada Sumiie smiled slightly, but did not comment on this. She just walked over to Okazaki Naganobu and took his arm after seeing him. Then she smiled and said to everyone, "Naganobu hasn't finished writing today's manuscript yet, so I'll take him back to finish writing. Have fun, everyone."

"Oh, OK." Suzuki Sonoko, the host, responded and looked at the others, "If you still have things to do, you can go back to your rooms first."

"It's okay, it's okay. After receiving the invitation from Ms. Sonoko, I finished all the manuscripts for this week, just for some fun." Kawabata Nagi smiled and waved her hand.

Kawabata Megumi, who was standing next to Suzuki Sonoko, folded her elbows and nodded meaningfully, "Yes, if I hadn't been there to urge him, my brother would have definitely rushed to finish his manuscript today."

"Hey, hey, there's no need to talk about this, right?"

Kawabata Nagi looked anxious as if something bad had been revealed, which made everyone laugh.

"I don't have anything to do, why don't we continue playing poker?" suggested Yumiko Harada.

"I agree!" Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly, "Let's set up some rewards and punishments, otherwise it will be too boring."

They walked towards the living room while talking.

About an hour later, Okazaki Naganobu and Okada Sumire also came down from upstairs and joined their poker game.

Then after a while, Kawabata Nagi suddenly said, "By the way, that guy from Furuya hasn't finished soaking for so long?"

Kawabata Megumi said "Huh?" and guessed, "Could he have fainted in the water for too long?"

"Why don't we go over and take a look?" Okazaki Naganobu suggested, and then he stood up and prepared to go to the hot spring.

Conan narrowed his eyes and stood up as well, "Brother Okazaki, I'll go with you!"

"Okay, let's go." Okazaki Naganobu nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

"If he really fainted, that would be terrible. I'll go and take a look." Kawabata Nagi also stood up and followed them.

Maori Kogoro, who was slumped on the sofa, looked at them with a pair of dead fish eyes, "They are all gone, so there should be no need for me to follow them."

Mao Lilan felt deeply helpless about this.

At this moment, Qianzhu, the only one who had stayed in the room since dinner, could not see what the people below were doing, but he knew clearly that a murder had happened.

But the deceased was truly a hero for staying in the hot springs alone knowing that the bridge that would have allowed them to leave had been deliberately burned.

Although... he was alone.

As he thought, due to the heavy snow, the police could not arrive at the scene immediately and could only wait until the next day.

As for the people in the villa, since they didn't know who the murderer was and whether he would attack other people, they tried not to act alone.

...Except for Qianzhu.

"By the way, what about the boy who is resting in the room alone? Is he okay staying alone?" Sumire Okada, who was leaning against her boyfriend, suddenly spoke up.

"Maybe he's asleep?" Mao Lilan hesitated, then looked at the people she was most familiar with, "Should we go wake him up?"

"No need, I'll just go to his room and keep him company."

Conan said with a cute smile on his face.

"Is this okay?"

Conan stood up and prepared to leave, "Okay, I'll go first then."

"Why don't we redistribute the rooms? It will be safer for two people to share one room."

Kawabata Nagi suddenly spoke.

"That's true!" Suzuki Sonoko looked as if she had suddenly realized something. "Then Okazaki and Okada should stay in the same room. Conan will go to Chitake's room. Xiaolan and I will go together. Ms. Hui and Ms. Yumiko, Brother Kawabata and Uncle Mori, how about this?"

"No problem, let's do this. After all, we can't not take a rest." Harada Yumiko nodded and agreed to her assignment.

"Then let's all go back to the room together."

Everyone stood at Qianzhu's door and tried to knock.

If no one comes to open the door, Conan will just have to squeeze in with Kogoro Mouri and Nagi Kawabata. Anyway, the room in this villa is big enough and the bed is suitable for three people.

But soon, the door was opened from the inside.

Qianzhu opened the door slightly and looked outside, squinting his eyes slightly. When he saw them, he opened them in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Ah, something happened, so I asked Conan to stay in the same room with you. If you want to know more details, just ask this kid."

Suzuki Sonoko pushed Conan forward while smiling.

"That's right."

Qianzhu didn't seem to be dissatisfied, and he was still gentle. He opened the door to let Conan in, then looked at the others, "In that case, let's all go to rest first."

"Good night then, Chitake."

Mao Lilan waved at him and entered a room with Suzuki Sonoko.

After closing the door, only a desk lamp was left lighting the room.

Qianzhu blinked his sore eyes, then looked at Conan, touched his head and returned to the bed, "Okay, it's getting late, go get some rest."

Conan blinked and followed him, "Aren't you curious about what happened?"

"Yeah." Qian Zhu responded casually, "One person is missing. Maybe there's another murder?"

You got it right at the first guess.

Conan fell silent, then watched the other person lie down.

Sighing silently, he reached out to turn off the desk lamp. In an instant, only the faint light behind the curtains remained. The room also became quiet, with only the sound of faint breathing left.

Conan couldn't sleep and was recalling the case in his mind.

The deceased, Shinnosuke Furuya, died at the villa hot spring...

He was lying completely in the hot spring, soaked in the water. From the outside, it looked like he had drowned.

But the hot spring is only that deep, so no matter what he does there, he shouldn't choke to death.

Unless someone appeared in the hot spring, held him down and drowned him alive in it.
