Chapter 50: The Snow Girl Legend at the Ski Resort
Chapter 50: The Snow Girl Legend at the Ski Resort
Four years ago, a murder occurred at this ski resort.
The deceased was sitting alone in the cable car, holding a pistol in his hand and a suitcase filled with snow beside him...
Since the police could not find any suspicious points, they closed the case as suicide.
The people who died four years ago are the same group of people as the film crew who came to the ski resort to shoot today. They chose to shoot in the same place as before in order to commemorate the dead.
"...But thank you anyway, Shinichi." On the cable car, the girl in the pink ski suit became happy again, "You said that to reassure me, right?"
But the young man's face suddenly turned serious, and he looked towards the horizon: "It's not just that, Lan..."
He had a feeling...a snowstorm was coming.
While the two were talking, neither the boy nor the girl noticed that in the cable car two seats behind them, a tightly wrapped man was recording their every move with a camera.
This man and woman are Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran.
……
Shortly after the two people got off the cable car, a snowy wind started to blow.
Fortunately, they could see clearly in the distance and the sky was not very dark, so they slid down the mountain together.
The sudden snowstorm came and went quickly.
Not long after they came down, the wind and snow stopped.
After sliding down the mountain, Kudo Shinichi followed the cable car track to search upwards.
“…Two places.” The boy looked up at the cable car.
"What two places?" Mao Lilan came over with a puzzled look on her face.
“It’s where the cable car and the ski resort are very close.”
Kudo Shinichi looked at the cable car, constantly thinking about the doubts about the incident four years ago.
Once he encounters an incident, he can't help but get to the bottom of it - that's his style.
"So, can you jump from the ground to the cable car?"
Mao Lilan also looked up at the cable car, so seriously that it seemed as if a flower had bloomed on it.
"No, it's close to the ground, but it can't be done without springs or something..."
As Kudo Shinichi was speaking, they suddenly heard a noise coming from behind and they both turned around.
It turned out to be the actor I met in the restaurant before, who just happened to be skiing down the slope on the other side.
Minowa Shohei, a little-known actor.
However, Kudo Shinichi was not interested in this person. "Um... Lan, I want to continue looking for clues here. Why don't you go back first..."
"I'm with you!"
Mao Lilan said that she didn't want to be separated from her childhood sweetheart.
The young boy Kudo Shinichi did not object.
After walking a few steps up the mountain, he suddenly turned around.
"Shinichi?"
"...Ah! It's okay, let's go."
Kudo Shinichi laughed and suppressed the discomfort in his heart, but his doubts continued:
'Strange... Why do I feel like someone is watching me?'
……
My name is Ryohei Kamikawa, and I’m a core member of the Five Star Team.
Now, I am undertaking the most challenging task ever for me - monitoring a junior high school student and his parents.
Although this task seems unworthy...
But as long as I can complete this task, it means I am valuable!
Gin Sangma! I will definitely not let you down!!
a long time……
Ryohei Kamikawa emerged from the snow and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was wearing a snow-white ski suit and a snow-white hat. When he lay down on the snow, he completely blended in with the snow. You couldn't tell that he was a human being at all.
"It's a pity that I lost the other two..."
Ryohei Kamikawa sighed, continued to hold his skis, and secretly followed the group with his camera.
Originally, the three Kudos were under his control, but for some reason, this Kudo Shinichi suddenly went further and further away, and was the focus of adults' surveillance...
Ryohei Kamikawa had no choice but to give up monitoring the other two Kudos and focus on the one-on-one fight. However, as they walked up the mountain, the sky gradually darkened and the snowstorm came again...
"Today's weather is too spooky." Ryohei Kamikawa sniffed and pulled up his collar. "By the way, what are these two little ghosts looking for?"
He heard some of the conversation between the two people just now, which seemed to be related to the case four years ago.
At that time, he had not yet been transferred to work here, so he didn't know much. He only knew that it seemed to be related to an ancient legend.
But it’s been four years, so even if there were any traces, they should have been eaten away by the snow, right?
Ryohei Kamikawa was thinking while taking the photos secretly.
Suddenly.
The blizzard suddenly became more severe...
Not long after the strong wind started to blow, Ryohei Kamikawa and the two people in front of him heard a penetrating sound at the same time.
Ryohei Kamikawa's pupils shrank.
Gunshots?!
Before he could think too much, the two people in front of him had already quickened their pace and ran to the turning point to stop the car, so he had to hurry to catch up.
They were not far from the cable car station on the mountain.
At the back, Ryohei Kamikawa was some distance away from the two people in front, and heard the boy shout, "What happened?"
Ryohei Kamikawa had an idea and saw that some people stopped after hearing the noise when the cable car came down. He crouched and hid behind the crowd, turned his snow-white ski jacket inside out and put it on again, and then approached Shinichi Kudo and the uncle he was questioning.
"I'm not sure, because I just came down."
The uncle is the director of the crew and he looks very honest.
At this moment, a cable car behind slowly entered the change platform.
Including Ryohei Kamikawa, everyone's faces turned grim after seeing the people sitting on the cable car.
Actor, Minowa Shohei.
The bloodstain on the forehead is particularly eye-catching——
"Stop the cable car!"
Kudo Shinichi immediately shouted to the cable car station manager, "Call the police and an ambulance immediately!"
He learned these procedures from his father.
Ryohei Kamikawa was a little stunned watching from the side - was he involved in a murder case?
Oh my god, it’s the first time in my life!
This was the first time I encountered a murder case and was at the scene...
He couldn't help but move the camera forward.
When Mao Lilan, who arrived later, saw the body, she immediately screamed with more piercing power than a gunshot, successfully causing many passengers on the cable car to feel scared...
The cable car stopped urgently, but there were still many tourists on it.
So after the police arrived and carried down the body of the actor, Minowa Shohei, the cable car resumed operation.
Ryodaira Kamikawa is right next to the cable car line.
When the cable car seat where the deceased was sitting passed by him, he subconsciously took a look.
But this one glance made him see something extraordinary.
"This is……"
Ryohei Kamikawa glared.
As it happens, after the police inspected the body and the package containing the body and saw the bag full of snow, they naturally concluded, "Sure enough, just like four years ago...it was suicide, right?"
"It's not suicide, Inspector. I found three..."
"How could this be suicide!"
Kudo Shinji drew three fingers in one stroke and spoke almost at the same time as Kamikawa Ryohei.
Both of them looked at each other in surprise:
How did this boy/uncle figure that out?
Hiss~ I'm probably going to be naked on the shelves╮(╯_╰)╭
