Prey

At this time, Subaru Okiya, who stood aside and exuded a dangerous aura without attracting the attention of others, pushed up his glasses and said calmly.

"I think Mr. Tajima, you should apologize to this kid and your friends."

Subaru Okiya's glasses were reflecting, and his voice was extremely cold, not to mention everyone present, at least It was Idarui who could feel the inexplicable pressure emanating from Okiya Subaru.

Idarui looked at Subaru Okiya who was not far away from him but a few people away. He seemed to be no different from what he had briefly remembered.

"Huh? Friend? Apologize? Who are you? You are really nosy. Only people like Saotome from the Appearance Association would like you, a pretty girl who has a crush on her. I don't know what's so good about her. Just a little bit."

After Tajima Ling finished speaking, he held his stomach and laughed mercilessly and returned to the room on the second floor without any further apologies.

Subaru Okiya also quietly opened his eyes where no one noticed, but soon he returned to his previous expression, but with a hint of distress.

At this time, the atmosphere present became more subtle, and even everyone's heartbeat and breathing seemed to be audible.

[The victim makes a reservation, it’s up to you. 】

【This person's attitude is indeed not very good, too bad. If he is really the victim, I think it is all his own problems. ]

[I think things are not simple. There may be other reasons behind this. ]

[It's so funny that you dare to offend Brother Cat and the protagonists. You really think you don't live long enough. 】

"Well, don't take it to heart. Tajima may be in a bad mood today, but he actually means no harm." When Hitomi Tenkaji came to Idarui, she bent down and gave out a more friendly breath. And said to Liu Yi in an apologetic tone.

Although even she herself didn't want to believe most of Tenkaji Hitomi's reasons.

Idarui shook her head. Although she was frightened by what just happened, she would not let an innocent person apologize for others.

"I'm fine." Daterui said, completely unaware of the stiffness and embarrassment of Hitomi Tenkaji's body, "Don't take it to heart, Sister Tenkaji."

While the two were talking, Edogawa Conan had already In the villa, he once again seriously inquired about the relationship between several people. Because of what happened just now, Edogawa Conan once again felt an established fact in his mind.

Perhaps as Tajima Ling said, the relationship between these people is not as harmonious as it seemed when they first met.

After the Tajima Rei incident, it was Kurokawa Yoshiyu and Toda Eihei who took the initiative to mediate the atmosphere.

Idarui looked at the people around him. Subaru Okiya and Conan Edogawa had gone somewhere long ago.

Yoshida Ayumi and the others were sitting on the sofa, feeling a little lethargic. Saotome Aiho and others passed back and forth from the second floor to the first floor repeatedly, as if they had never experienced anything that had just happened in the living room.

"Do you think we should prepare another snack and coffee to go to Tajima to apologize?"

Idarui was walking alone through the corridor on the first floor to go to the toilet when he heard Kuro who was preparing afternoon tea in the kitchen. Although she could not completely hear the conversation between Kawa Yoshiu and Saotome Aiho, Ryui could understand a few key words in bits and pieces.

Saotome Aiho said: "Let's go find him before dinner. After all, we can't let him just stand stiff with us without eating, and we can't let other people see the joke."

Kurokawa Yoshiu frowned, his tone was not like He leaned against the cabinet in such a friendly manner just now and said with dissatisfaction to Tajima Ling. He no longer called Tajima Ling and was close to Tajima Ling in front of everyone, "It's okay, but Tajima's behavior just now is really disappointing. Although I have long been used to it, I really want to have a good fight with him."

Idarui just stayed for a while, and she did not choose to stay at the door anymore.

When she came out, she happened to run into Edogawa Conan who had returned from nowhere. Ryui did not pretend that she had not seen him, so Date Ryui took the initiative to say hello to Edogawa Conan.

"Did you just come back from outside? Isn't Mr. Okiya with you?"

Idarui said casually when she saw that there were still a lot of water stains on his body from melting snow, she hadn't Pay attention to the scenery outside the window, "Conan-kun, it looks like the snow is getting heavier and heavier outside?"

"Ah... yes, Mr. Okiya Subaru should be with Dr. Agasa and the others now."

Being called When the resident Edogawa Conan raised his head, he saw Daterui standing in front of the two of them. After hearing the other party's question, he subconsciously answered Daterui.

"It seems there will be a big snowstorm tonight." Edogawa Conan said, "Aren't you with the doctor and the others?"

Idarui shook his head, "I just came out to use the toilet, but speaking of the snowstorm "It's hard to see. This is the first time I've seen such heavy snow. It's still sunny in the morning."

The sound of "Ula Ula" was blowing outside, and even "rustling" came from the windows. "The sound confirmed Idarui's statement.

[It’s okay, there are always many strange events happening in Ke Xue’s world, such as the elementary school students who have not changed for thousands of years, Le. 】

【It’s really Blizzard Villa, right? 73 is not pretending at all, but the unlucky guy hasn’t appeared yet. ]

[Don't worry, it will be here later. ]

When Edogawa Conan and Daterui returned to the living room, there were not many people left in the living room. In front of the TV was a game tape that someone brought that didn't require wireless network, which solved the three little ones' boredom.

Subaru Okiya and Dr. Agasa stood by the window talking about returning to Yoneka Town tomorrow, but no one else saw or heard their voices.

At this moment, a woman's scream came from the second floor.

Edogawa Conan, who was the first to notice, ran all the way to the room on the second floor where the screams came from, followed closely by Dr. Agasa and others.

When Idarui and Haibara Ai arrived on the second floor, they could only see one person sitting on the ground excitedly and moving back a few points from the crowd surrounding them.

Just when she was about to take a closer look, she heard Kurokawa Yoshiu sitting on the ground widen his eyes and point to the scene in the room that Idarui didn't know about in horror and said: "He is dead. ..Ling Jun...is dead..."

Ida Liuyi couldn't see the situation inside, and could only get the general situation from the words of others. She heard Dr. Ali say "Conan" and what was in front of her was The vision became clearer.

Subaru Okiya was with Edogawa Conan, but friends of Subaru Okiya and Rei Tajima gathered around the door.

Idarui could only understand it from a few words. After she finally saw the general situation in the room clearly from a corner, Idarui felt that the scene in the room was terrible.

Edogawa Conan was squatting aside to test the breathing of Rei Tajima who was lying on the ground next to the bed. He shook his head at Subaru Okiya not far behind him and said to the people behind him: "He is already dead. Don't worry about it yet." Come in, the surrounding situation looks like a complete locked room case."

Tajima Rei's death was very miserable. He stared directly at the closed window with his eyes open. At this time, the scenery and sounds of falling snow outside were directly proportional to the scene inside the house.

With a very serious expression on his face, Edogawa Conan turned to face everyone present, and even said to the trusted adult: "Dr. Agasa, call the police first."

[Okay, I'll just say it's you, you have a bad temper. Good man. ]

[You just made someone angry. Look, isn't this because the victim made a reservation in advance? ]

[This time it’s a high-end game, choose one from five. ]

[In this situation, there may be some demining, such as choosing one from five to one from three. ]

[This is because we want to have two more victims, right? Then it will be easier to guess if there are two less people. ]

[What kind of elimination method should I use this time? If there is no Maori uncle to clear the mines, it will still be difficult to guess at least. ]

[It's okay, as long as Xiao Ke has a flash of inspiration and asks the answer that we don't even know what it means, we will understand and the murderer can be found immediately. ]

[I have a feeling that you are mocking me, but I have no evidence. ]

[Conan: I understand. Me: But I don’t understand! ]

[This is probably the detective and his intuition. ]

[Sisters and brothers, please work hard and prove yourself to get rid of suspicion. (Music)]

Idarui looked at the flying barrages, and then focused his attention on what was in front of him. Edogawa Conan and Okiya Subaru continued to speak words that she did not understand, but she could guess that they were related to the case.

Dr. A Li is making a call, but no matter what, his mobile phone has no signal to reach the outside world.

And Tenkaji Hitomi comforted Kurokawa Yoshiyu, who was sitting on the sofa and crying with his face covered. He was the first to feel the corpse most intuitively and was also the first person to discover it.

Just when everyone was doing what they could, Saotome Aiho stayed in front of the only public landline in the villa, pressing the phone constantly in her hand, but no matter what she did, there was only a "beep beep" coming from the other end of the phone. sound.

"Aiho, are you still unable to get through?" Hitomi Tenkaji gently patted Kurokawa Yoshiu's shoulder. She also had a look of concern on her face. When she saw Aiho Saotome put down the phone receiver again, At that time, Tianhuaji Hitomi said.

Saotome Aiho shook her head and said nothing more.

Yamauchi Yuuki expressionlessly placed the fruit he had prepared previously from the living room table in front of Tenkaji Hitomi and Kurokawa Yoshiu. Toda Eihei sat on the sofa distressedly, as if he was afraid of something, and used He held his head in his hands.

Edogawa Conan looked at Dr. Agasa, who only shook his head at him without saying anything. Conan immediately understood what Dr. Agasa meant.

Now they are 'prey' isolated and helpless in the deep snow of the outside world.

And the murderer is now among them.
