Although Fang Zheng did think so, but...
"I never thought that Valentine's Day would come soon..."
Driving through the snow-covered mountain road, Fang Zheng's expression was unusually calm. Yes, that's right. Wasn't it a summer night before going to bed yesterday, but when he woke up this morning, he found that the sky was covered in snow and it was full of winter style? He had long been used to it. Time is meaningless, and the existence of seasons is the same. Basically, you have to live well today, forget yesterday, and don't worry about tomorrow... Otherwise, you will suffer.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Founder."
Xiaolan, who was sitting in the back seat, also put her hands together and the other party was saluting.
"I'd like to trouble you to drive us there..."
"It doesn't matter. Mira is going too anyway."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Mira, Sonoko and Conan sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror. This was the "event" that was triggered when they met Sonoko yesterday when they went to the mall. At that time, Sonoko said that she wanted to take Xiaolan to the mountains to learn how to make chocolate, and Fang Zheng was still curious about whether Valentine's Day would be celebrated or not...
Well, when I woke up, it was already Valentine's Day.
This is even more awesome than the “overnight” in the game.
Moreover, since he met me, Maori Kogoro was free. Basically, if he needed a car to run errands, he would just push it to Fang Zheng, and then he would stay at home alone, drinking beer and watching horse racing, living a happy life like a god...
But then again…
"I didn't expect you were interested in making chocolate."
After taking a look at Xiao Ai sitting in the passenger seat, Fang Zheng asked curiously, but Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at him.
"Is it not possible? I am a girl too, so it is normal for me to want to make chocolates."
"So who are you going to give it to?"
"secret."
After saying this, Xiao Ai turned her head and looked at the snowy scene outside the window again, while Fang Zheng also looked away and continued to look forward. Behind him, the noise of the girls continued. Especially the appearance of Mira made the place even more lively. As mentioned before, Mira's personality is very similar to Sonoko's. As a result, the two of them got along well after meeting each other and soon became good friends.
"I got some important information this time. I heard that the chocolate made at Fudo Villa is the most effective in bringing couples together."
"ah!"
After hearing Sonoko's proud report, Xiaolan suddenly realized what was going on.
"So you're planning to give the chocolates you made to Mr. Kyogoku and confess your feelings to him at the same time, right?"
"Mr. Kyogoku?"
Mira, who was sitting next to her, looked over curiously, and Xiaolan also introduced herself to Mira.
"Mr. Kyogoku Makoto is the captain of the Karate Club of Haido High School and the All-Japan Karate Champion. He once saved Sonoko in an incident..."
"Oh, so he's Sonoko's boyfriend?"
"Ah, well, it's not that far yet..."
In response to Mira's question, Sonoko's expression was somewhat complicated.
"What's wrong? Sonoko, is there something wrong?"
Seeing her friend showing this expression, Xiaolan asked worriedly, and Sonoko looked at her and Mira with a wry smile.
"Actually, Ah Zhen hasn't called me recently. Even when I called him, all I heard was the voicemail..."
Having said that, Yuanzi let out a long sigh.
"Actually, this is all my fault... I told him on the phone before that I would carry out Operation LOVELOVE on Valentine's Day and give the chocolates to my favorite person... If I had known this, I should have told him directly that the chocolates were for him, but then there would be no surprise!"
"Just do what you want."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but interrupt.
"You should either not say anything, or just say the whole thing. You're being so vague, no one knows what you're trying to say. It's rare to meet a man who likes you, and you're courting death by kicking him away. That's really asking for trouble."
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Yuanzi hugged her head in pain, and Xiaolan hurried over to comfort her.
"Don't worry, as long as you give him the chocolate, Mr. Kyogoku will definitely understand what you mean."
"Thank you, Xiaolan."
Hearing Xiaolan's comfort, Sonoko also smiled at her.
"But you are really strong, Xiaolan."
"Hey? What do you mean?"
"Makoto and I haven't been in touch for just a week, and it's already painful. You and Shinichi have been out of touch for even longer, right?"
"ah……"
Hearing Sonoko's question, Xiaolan looked at Conan, who was sitting on her lap motionless like a statue, with a slightly embarrassed look.
"Yeah, yeah... but I'm used to it. Besides, even if that guy isn't around, I'm still doing fine because I still have Conan."
As she spoke, Xiaolan lowered her head and looked at Conan who was sitting on her lap with a smile.
"Right, Conan?"
“Ah… Yeah!”
Conan nodded hurriedly, secretly wiping a cold sweat from his forehead.
When will I be able to return to my original state!!!
After that, the group finally arrived at Fudo Villa. Before they even entered the gate, the old lady in charge of the villa gave them a warning by telling them a story that was popular in the area. It was said that people would die when a blizzard came, and a box of chocolates would be placed next to each corpse. Some people said that this was all done by the snow woman... Xiaolan and Sonoko were scared.
only……
"You guys, is there really a snow girl?"
Back in the room, Xiaolan asked anxiously, while Fangzheng just chuckled.
"There is no such thing as a snow girl. That's just a weird story in the mountains."
"But didn't the photographer come here just to take pictures of the snow girl?"
At this moment, Sonoko was also holding Xiaolan's hand. In addition to them, there were a few other residents in the entire Fudo Villa. Among them was a photographer who came here specifically to find and photograph the Snow Girl.
"Because these ancient legends have been very popular recently, it's nothing new."
Fang Zheng seemed quite calm about this. Since the giant dragon appeared, a new round of archaeological research and exploration of myths and legends has been launched all over the world. After all, in the eyes of most people, since the giant dragon that originally only appeared in knight novels and myths is real, then maybe other monsters in myths also exist. So now there is a wave of exploration everywhere in the world, and many people have spontaneously gone out to look for vampires, mermaids, unicorns...
In Fang Zheng's view, the photographer was just one of them.
"So there are no snow girls? I'm quite interested in snow girls."
Mira, on the other hand, seemed very regretful. She knew Fang Zheng's true identity of course, and therefore, was actually very interested in the rumors about the Snow Girl. After all, no matter how powerful the Snow Girl was, she could not be Fang Zheng's opponent. If she could meet the rumored Snow Girl, it would not be a wasted trip, right?
But unfortunately, it seems that the Snow Girl does not really exist.
After that, the girls went to the kitchen to learn how to make chocolate, and only Fang Zheng and Conan sat in the room watching TV bored, so...
"Let's make a bet."
Fang Zheng put down the remote control in his hand and looked at Conan.
"Bet? What?"
Conan was also stunned when he heard Fang Zheng's words.
"Bet on who will die."
"This again..."
Conan's face fell when faced with Fang Zheng's words.
"That's about it. Why do you always think someone is going to die every time I go out?"
"Oh? You dare to talk back? Well, if you say so, then show me the evidence. When has anyone not died every time I went out with you?"
"Well……"
Hearing this, Conan was speechless, but then he immediately opened his mouth to refute.
"Even if that's the case, you can't blame me. Maybe someone dies every time you go out."
"As long as I don't go out with you, nothing will ever happen to me."
Fang Zheng glanced at him.
"Well, since you are so confident, let's make a bet. If someone dies or something happens in the villa this time, Xiaolan's chocolate will be mine, which means you won't have any chocolate to eat... Understand?"
"What if I win?"
"If you win, I will help you make an antidote for APTX4869."
"real?"
Hearing this, Conan's eyes lit up, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"Yes, I have obtained a dose of APTX4869 before. As long as we analyze it, we can obtain its pharmacological components and characteristics, and make an antidote. What do you think? Since you are so confident, do you want to take a gamble?"
"Let's bet..."
When Conan heard about the antidote, he immediately became excited, but soon he seemed to think of something and stopped abruptly.
"Wait, Mr. Fang Zheng, you haven't discovered who has the intention to kill, have you?"
"If I really saw through it, I would have followed you long ago instead of talking nonsense with you here."
Fang Zheng chuckled.
"How about it? Do you want to bet?"
"Um……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Conan immediately used his big brain, which was comparable to Sherlock Holmes', to reason.
Indeed, based on his understanding of Fang Zheng, if Fang Zheng could really tell from someone's expression who had the intention to kill, he would have acted long ago. This had happened several times before, from Sayuri's wedding to Officer Sato's shooting, Fang Zheng was basically one step ahead of the murderer every time. This meant that Fang Zheng wanted to make a bet with him this time, not because he saw through someone's murder plan, but simply because of the fallacy of "every time I go out with you, someone will die"...
This seems a bit unbearable!
Conan said that it’s not like someone dies every time I go out!
Well, although it was unlucky to encounter robbers dumping corpses when camping before, it was just an accident! An accident!
That’s right, there is only one truth!
There will definitely be no problems this time!
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you!"
Thinking of this, Conan immediately gave an answer with full confidence.
Kudo Shinichi must get this antidote!
