Mouri Detective Agency.
"Uncle, what am I going to do for dinner tonight?" Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri, who had come back with a can of beer and sprawled in front of the TV, and was speechless.
Is this guy really back to take care of me? He seems more like he's here to enjoy life!
"Uh... don't worry, uh... I'll make you a bowl of porridge!" Kogoro Mouri hiccuped, his eyes fixed on the TV screen, without even lifting his head.
Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's answer, Conan sneered, "Heh, so this is what you call a great detective!" He said helplessly, while covering his burning forehead with his hand, and then lay down heavily on the sofa.
At this moment, Conan felt utterly desperate.
He had no idea what Xiaolan was doing!
But the thought that Ran might be spending time with Yuzuru Hanyu made Conan's mood even heavier.
Just then, several loud banging sounds were heard.
"Why did this damn TV have to freeze at this time of all times!" Kogoro Mori roared angrily.
He was watching his favorite horse race with great interest, and it was about to cross the finish line when the television screen suddenly froze.
Enraged, Kogoro Mouri stood up and slammed his fist on the television several times.
"What bad luck!" Kogoro Mouri muttered, picking up the remote and repeatedly switching channels, hoping to get the TV back to normal.
Conan glanced at it, then closed his eyes again in despair.
"We have a breaking news report: the body of Nishiyama U, the 41-year-old moderator of a famous magician's forum, has been found in an apartment building!"
"What? Someone died again?" Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself as he changed the channel, glancing casually at the television screen. Just as he was about to continue changing channels, Conan called out to him from beside him:
"Wait a minute, Uncle!"
Conan, who had been lying peacefully on the sofa with his eyes closed, suddenly sat up straight as if he had been electrocuted when he heard the words "Magician Forum". His eyes were fixed on the TV screen, and his expression was unusually serious.
A detective's instincts told him that something seemed wrong.
"On the screen in front of the deceased, there was a message that read, 'One solved, left by Shadow Mage,' which was unclear." The reporter on television continued to report on the case.
"It is understood that the deceased was keen on making friends online and was originally going to attend an offline magic enthusiasts gathering today, where he served as the chat room administrator!"
"I never imagined such a tragedy would happen..."
"No, no way!" Kogoro Mouri was stunned for a moment, then jumped up from the sofa as if his butt was on fire and rushed to the door as fast as he could.
Conan followed closely behind, his heart filled with anxiety: "Wait for me, Ran! Wait for me!"
...
"Haha, Nan, look how cute our snowman is!"
After Ran and Sonoko put a nose on the snowman, they stretched and happily shouted to Nanami Hanyu, who was standing on the balcony!
Yuzuru was gazing at a figure that was faintly visible on the suspension bridge in the distance when he heard Ran and Sonoko calling out. He turned around and looked at the snowman they had built in the backyard of the villa.
Since everyone was unable to contact Shadow Mage and the chat room manager, Escape King, the villa's owner, Arayori, suggested that he prepare dinner while the others tidied up their rooms.
"Wow, that's awesome!" Yuzuru grinned at the two girls, stood on the balcony and waved his hand. Amidst the surprised exclamations of Ran and Sonoko, the thick ice piled up in the backyard pond suddenly rose into the air.
As Hanyu Nan's psychic power surged, the flying ice block gradually revealed a clear outline.
The ice block spun rapidly in the air, with ice chips constantly falling down, but the overall shape gradually resembled a person.
Yuzuru concentrated, controlling the ice block to continue changing.
Gradually, the ice cubes became more refined, and details of facial features and clothing could even be seen.
The delicate lines depict Ran and Sonoko's faces so lifelike that they seem to be stepping out of the ice.
Ran's eyes sparkled with a lively light, and Sonoko's smile revealed her playfulness and energy.
Yuzuru's telekinetic power was like an artist's brush, perfectly presenting the two figures on the ice.
"Wow!"
"It's us!" Ran and Sonoko stared at the ice sculpture that Yuzuru had carved with his telekinesis, their faces filled with astonishment and shock.
This is simply a work of art!
"Nan, you're amazing!" Xiaolan and Yuanzi's eyes sparkled with admiration as they circled the ice sculpture, completely forgetting the snowman they had worked so hard to build earlier.
Snowman: so?
Looking at the two excited women below, Yuzuru's lips curled into a big smile.
I have something even better!
He then casually sculpted another ice sculpture of himself and placed it between the two ice sculptures.
"Nan, come down quickly, let's take a picture together!"
"Yes, yes, such a beautiful ice sculpture, we must keep it as a souvenir!"
...
"Mr. Yuzuru, it's time for dinner... Mr. Yuzuru?" Sugawara Kiyohiro stared at the empty balcony, his zombie-like, ashen face filled with question marks.
Where are they?
Suga Kiyoharu walked to the balcony with a puzzled look and looked down. He heard the sounds of playing and laughing coming from downstairs.
Looking down, I saw Yuzuru Nan was in the yard with Ran and Sonoko, taking various photos around the three ice sculptures.
Sugashiki rubbed his head, speechless with astonishment at the lifelike ice sculpture, feeling even more bewildered.
How did you even get downstairs?!
I was guarding the door the whole time, but I didn't see you come downstairs at all!
(Yuzuki Kusunoki: Basics, don't be silly)
Although he didn't know what had happened, Sugata Kiyohiro still respectfully called out to the people downstairs, "Mr. Yuzuru, Ms. Sonoko, Ms. Ran, dinner is ready!"
"Alright, let's go have dinner first!" Yu Shengnan said with a smile after taking a group photo of the three of them with his phone after hearing the voice.
"That's awesome!"
"This trip was definitely worthwhile!"
"Yes, with Nan here, we have so much fun!"
Ran and Sonoko, arm in arm with Yuzuru, walked towards the villa, their faces beaming with happiness.
Yuzuru gently stayed by their side, glancing back at the suspension bridge in the distance, a slight, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips.
...
"This is outrageous! How could the entire suspension bridge suddenly catch fire!"
Upon hearing the news report, Kogoro Mouri rushed over in his car, his heart filled with anxiety.
When I saw with my own eyes the only access road to the villa, the suspension bridge, which was engulfed in flames and the flames were shooting into the sky, my anger was instantly ignited!
"Uncle, you'd better go find the police as soon as possible!"
As Conan spoke, he quickly took off his jacket and prepared to start running.
"This brat..." Kogoro Mouri stared at Conan in astonishment as he ran toward the burning suspension bridge.
