A bunch of red dots with small tails rose into the sky, emitting light for a long time.
Judging from the location, it seems like there is a ski resort over there.
"Why would someone fire a flare?"
Mao Lilan asked in confusion.
Conan, who had returned, also saw the red light. He was stunned for a moment, then his face changed and he shouted:
"Oh no, something happened!"
Conan rushed towards the ski resort. With his keen sense of smell, he felt that something must have happened there!
Sakaki Makoto and his companions hurriedly followed. They passed through various facilities and hurriedly arrived at the ski resort.
In the huge ski resort, tourists in ski suits looked up at the sky, with red light illuminating the lenses, as if devout believers were praying for God's protection.
"Hey, hey, where are your tickets!"
The ticket inspector at the ski resort caught up with him. Conan ran too fast just now and disappeared after passing the ticket machine without buying a ticket.
"They...what are they doing?"
Conan was shocked when he saw the scene at the ski resort:
“Why did you set off the flare?”
"Huh? What are you talking about? That's not a flare. Have you ever seen a flare last that long?"
The ticket inspector rolled his eyes and explained:
"That's a floating signal tower. The signal on the top of the mountain is poor. Sometimes when we can't receive the signal but need to contact the outside world, we will install a signal device inside and launch it into the sky to receive high-altitude radio waves!"
"So, there was no murder?"
"Murder? Kid, you've played too many detective games, haven't you? There's no way there's a murder at a ski resort!"
When Sakaki Makoto and others arrived, they happened to see Conan being scolded by the ticket inspector. He lowered his head and said nothing, but the grievance in his heart was indescribable.
It was his first time in Arima, and he had no idea that this ski resort on the top of the mountain had such a trick!
"If an ordinary person sees the flare going up, the first reaction would be that something has happened!"
When buying the ticket, Conan said angrily:
"Especially since it's a red flare, couldn't you use a green one?"
"So I said it was fireworks..."
Hiroki curled his lips:
"You still don't believe it."
Ordinary flares only last for 5-8 seconds, while flares can last up to 30 seconds, and the light is even more dazzling. When Makoto Sakaki saw the signal tower rising, he did not move. He just wanted to observe whether the red dot was a flare or a flare.
If it was a signal flare, it meant something might have happened at the ski resort, but if it was a flare...
There are many usage scenarios.
Who made Conan so rough?
After all, there was a 100% chance that a crime would occur in the places he had visited before.
Tonight is the first time ever.
After changing into ski clothes, several people started to have fun on the ski resort. Sakaki Makoto's skiing skills were only average, but compared with Hiroki who knew nothing, he was considered a veteran.
"No more playing! No more playing! It's not fun at all!"
After falling down several times, Hiroki angrily took off his hat and threw it on the snow, then walked towards the rest area.
The ski resort at the top of Rokko Mountain uses artificial snow. The snow is not soft enough and is as hard as ice. It is still very painful if you fall.
"You continue playing with Conan and the others. I'll go over and take a look."
Sakaki Makoto was not very interested in skiing. When he saw Hiroki sitting on the side with a depressed look on his face, he said something to his girlfriend, took off his skis, and walked over to sit next to him.
“Is skiing fun?”
"It's not fun! This sport is so boring! It's just torture!"
Hiroki rubbed his sore butt and complained:
"You might as well stay in your room and sleep!"
“I don’t think it’s fun either.”
Lighting up a cigarette, Sakaki Makoto said calmly:
"But for some games, it's not about how interesting they are in themselves, the most important thing is who you play with."
"What's the meaning?"
Hiroki turned around and asked in confusion:
"If it's fun, it's fun. If it's not fun, it's not fun!"
"That's what you said, but have you ever thought that no matter how interesting a game is, it is just a game after all. It's like going on a trip and visiting places of interest. You do leave with many memories and happiness, but once you've played and seen them, they're gone. What you really remember most is the people who accompanied you and shared happiness with you."
Sakaki Makoto smiled and said:
"Don't you always want to make friends? Friends are simple things. What's more complicated is whether you have shared memories with them."
Hiroki nodded, not quite understanding.
He looked at Ran Mouri, Conan, and Miss Miyano skiing back and forth on the ski resort, as if he understood something.
"I'll try again."
Hiroki picked up the skis that were thrown on the ground, ran to Mao Lilan, Conan and Miss Miyano, and said something. Then, Miss Miyano and the others began to teach him how to control his body and how to keep balance while sliding...
When he stood on the top of the mountain again and looked at the steep snow slope, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Sakaki Makoto who was sitting not far away, and shouted:
"I understand! Memories need to be created by oneself, right?"
Sakaki Makoto smiled but said nothing because he saw Hiroki slide more than ten meters and fall again.
But this time, Hiroki did not give up on himself.
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Makoto Sakaki walked to the observation deck, leaned on the railing, and looked down. He saw a city located in the Seto Inland Bay. The lights were like a sky full of stars. The cold wind was surging on the dark sea, and occasionally the melodious sound of ships' whistles could be heard.
