Chapter 3048 3060 [Folder]

Before long, the curry was cooked and dinner was served.

The reporter strolled downstairs and found that there was actually a portion for him. He was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you would prepare one for me as well." - He had even planned to grab one on his own.

Teacher Yonehara said indifferently: "I cooked a lot anyway, if you want to eat it, just eat it together."

"Haha, thank you very much." The reporter looked at the steaming curry on the plate and said meaningfully, "But it's useless to please me. I won't forget what happened three years ago."

…Again, three years ago.

Conan tried to hold back, but couldn't help it. Just then, the suspicious "Doctor Shinichi" was found dead in the guest room, so the fake elementary school student abandoned his low-key disguise and asked directly: "You always say 'three years ago', 'three years ago' - what happened three years ago?"

The dark-skinned male teacher laughed and interrupted the reporter's words: "Little boy, don't ask so many questions."

At this time, Mr. Nakamura pushed the door open and came in with a tray in his hand: "I sent the food to the two girls - the school doctor still hasn't woken up, so I brought his portion back and will heat it up for him when he wakes up."

Teacher Yonehara sighed, "I clearly invited them to come and play together, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. Sugiyama went too far this time."

As he was speaking, suddenly, the landline phone in the room rang.

The curly-haired man clicked his tongue and said, "It must be Sugiyama! This guy really deserves to be scolded. He must have known that he got into trouble, so he didn't dare to show up and had to call first."

While cursing, he walked over angrily and answered the phone: "Hey, Shanshan, we all know it's you, don't hide, come out quickly!"

There was something said on the other end of the line, but it wasn't the voice of Mr. Sugiyama.

"..." The curly-haired man looked embarrassed. He quickly put away his fierce tone and said, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person just now. There is nothing wrong with this villa. The heating is working properly and there is hot water."

After dealing with the inquiry from the other end, he hung up the phone.

At the table, Jiang Xia scooped a spoonful of curry and asked casually, "Is it the villa manager who called?"

The curly-haired man nodded. "He said that it's rare to encounter such heavy snow, and he was worried that the heating might be broken, so he called to ask."

Conan couldn't help but frowning as he watched this scene. He poked Jiang Xia and whispered, "Something is wrong. This villa is too weird... And what happened at Beihu Primary School three years ago?"

Jiang Xia: "You ask me?"

Conan: “…”

...That's right. Three years ago, Jiang Xia was skipping classes himself, so why would he care what happened in an elementary school?

We still have to seek help from the almighty network.

…

Fortunately, despite the heavy snow, the Internet was not disconnected here and there was still intermittent signal.

Conan didn't dare to delay and quickly searched for the relevant keywords while the signal was still there.

However, when entering search terms such as "Beihu Elementary School" and "incident", only a bunch of messy enrollment information and one or two solved murders that occurred nearby popped up on the page, but there was no news that Conan wanted to see.

And there is another problem.

"These are all recent news. If you want to read news from three years ago, you have to keep flipping back." Conan sighed and realized something quite bad. "That reporter is still pestering these teachers. This means that there is no clear report on what happened three years ago, and it is even possible that it has been suppressed..."

Jiang Xia heard his mumbling and reminded him warmly: "Hasn't your father collected a lot of information? Especially the news about Haido Town and Beihua Town."

"Yes!" Conan came to his senses and quickly called for help.

He slipped into the corridor and dialed Dr. Agasa: "Doctor, help me find out what happened at Beihu Elementary School three years ago."

"Beihu Primary School three years ago?" Dr. Agasa was stunned. "Didn't you go to a villa in another place? Why are you suddenly involved with Beihu Primary School again?"

"It's a long story, let's not talk about it for now." Conan ruthlessly blocked the old man's curiosity. He instructed, "There are several folders in my father's study. They are all local information. Please help me take a look. If you have any results, tell me immediately - it's urgent, you must do it as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, as if in response to his words, the doorbell of the villa rang "ding dong, ding dong".

The villa is very large, so the doorbell volume is extremely loud so that people in the house can hear it.

The person outside the door seemed to be afraid that they couldn't hear it, so he kept pressing the bell. The anxious "ding dong" sound came one after another without any pause.

People in various parts of the villa were alarmed. In the restaurant, the curly-haired man pushed away the stool and stood up irritably: "Here it comes, stop pressing it!"

He walked to the door and opened it.

As the door opened, a figure appeared in the corner of the field of vision.

The curly-haired man turned around and saw a man covered in snow, lying upright against the wall, pressing the doorbell motionlessly.

"Sugiya?" The curly-haired man quickly recognized his colleague based on his clothes and hairstyle. "What's with that weird pose? Are you pretending to be a zombie?"

As he spoke, he grabbed the man's arm and waved to the other colleagues who followed him out: "Come and see, our rich man is finally here!"

He pulled the person leaning against the wall to appear at the door, but it was different from what others imagined: this colleague who loved playing pranks did not return to normal with a smile, but fell to the ground like a frozen zombie.

“…”

Following a strange sound of someone falling to the ground, the other people were stunned.

After several seconds, they suddenly came back to their senses. Teacher Nakamura covered her mouth and screamed louder than Ran Mouri: "Ah——!!"

…

Before long, all the people who were originally in the restaurant came to the door.

At the same time, a person came running over from the guest room. Suzuki Sonoko didn't even put on her shoes, and she stopped at the corner of the corridor with an emergency brake: "What happened?"

The next moment, she saw the stiff body lying at the door, and she screamed a second time: "Ahhhhh!"

Jiang Xia comforted the frightened classmate, then squatted down and checked the body lying at the door.

Soon, under everyone's nervous gaze, he shook his head regretfully: "It's dead."

"Why did he die suddenly?" The curly-haired man looked confused. "Could it be that it was too cold outside and he froze to death?"

Mr. Nakamura retorted: "We were just a few seconds late in opening the door. We didn't leave him freezing at the door for days. It's impossible for him to be frozen like this! - Look, he's as hard as a board!"
