Breakfast is buffet style and there is no fixed time, so you can have a good sleep.
But your biological clock still makes you open your eyes around 7 o'clock, while Xiao Jingguang next to you is still curled up and sleeping soundly.
You didn't wake him up, planning to let him sleep for a while. You quietly got up and packed up, and went to the restaurant first.
Matsuda was sitting on the sofa outside the restaurant, reading a newspaper with his legs crossed. He caught a glimpse of you and looked up and said, "Good morning."
"You can actually read newspapers?!" You looked shocked.
"..." Matsuda looked dead, "I am also a cultured person, okay?"
"My impression of you..." You thought for a moment, "is that you smoke and play with your phone."
"Hey, hey," Matsuda put down the newspaper, "I'm still waiting here for you."
"Have you finished your meal?" You glanced at the clock and saw that the other person had gotten up quite early.
"I just finished eating." Matsuda blinked, "Where's your baby?"
“…” You facepalmed, “Please, don’t use that word.”
Matsuda teased, "It makes me happy to see you embarrassed."
"You guys got up so early - good morning!" Xiaolan's cheerful voice is heard behind you. You turn around and see that the Mori family has already come downstairs. You and Matsuda also greet them with a smile.
"Conan-san, please go and call Jiang Jing~" You patted Conan's shoulder, "Ask him to come down for dinner."
"Everyone is here." Boss Yamada rubbed his eyes and walked over. "I thought I was the first person to come here besides the chef."
"Didn't you guys drink last night?" You were a little surprised. "You're amazing that you can still come this morning."
Boss Yamada touched his head awkwardly: "Haha, I was actually drunk yesterday and forgot I had to come and take care of you today. Luckily, Zong Shu still remembered and went to get the hangover soup and medicine, so I got up this morning."
"We're here~" Xiao Jingguang's voice came from the corridor. He ran over holding Conan's hand, followed by Takano Souji.
Takano Soju rubbed his temple with one hand: "It still hurts... Good morning, everyone."
"Where is Miss Meihui?" Xiaolan asked curiously.
"My sister is a little grumpy when she wakes up..." Zong Shu's face showed a trace of fear, "I really don't dare to call her."
Getting grouchy when you wake up... That's true. You twitched your lips. It's better not to touch that mold.
"Let's eat first." Boss Yamada waved his hand, "The breakfast order is not unified, the others can come back later."
It snowed all night last night, and the snow outside has piled up very thickly. Little Jingguang can't wait to go out and make a snowman, but despite this, you still force him to finish breakfast before letting him go out to play.
Souji Takano made an appointment with Kogoro Mori to go for a walk in the mountains, while Xiaolan, Conan and Jingguang were enthusiastically making a snowman in the yard.
You put your hands in your pockets, sitting on the steps at the hotel entrance, watching them fight. Matsuda stood aside, smoking another cigarette.
"...How about we switch seats?" you said.
"What?" Matsuda raised an eyebrow.
"I'm downwind." You glanced at him, "I'm almost dying of anger."
"Then exercise more and you will get used to it." Matsuda deliberately leaned over to blow a smoke ring at you and said with a smile.
You leaned back to avoid it: "Cough cough cough - you bastard..." From this angle, your line of sight just passed Matsuda and fell on the open window on the second floor.
——Open the window in this weather? You are confused.
"What's wrong?" Matsuda follows your line of sight. "Huh? The temperature difference between inside and outside is huge. The heat in the room can't be retained if the window is open."
"Are you trying to ventilate the room?" You thought of a reasonable possibility.
"Maybe." Matsuda shrugged. "The two rooms with open windows should be Miss Meihui's rooms, judging from their locations. She should not have gone out."
but……
The next moment your thoughts are shattered by a snowball hitting you in the face.
you:"……"
Your face was filled with pain and coldness. Scattered snowballs were sliding down your face. You looked at Conan in the distance with an expressionless face.
Conan: "..." I was just trying to test it, why did I get hit? ? ? Shouldn't the boss's behavior be a reflex to dodge or counterattack? ?
"Wow, Brother Jiang, come play with us~" Xiao Jingguang looked quite happy, "And Brother Matsuda~"
You grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, stood up and started chasing Conan. Conan ran away, and Xiaolan watched with a smile on her face.
"Stop right there, you little bastard!"
"So full of energy." Matsuda sighed, walked towards Xiao Jingguang, half-knelt down and made a snowman with him.
After running and jumping for a while, you feel that your clothes are soaked by sweat. At this time, snow begins to fall outside, so you all go back to the hotel.
Takano Souji and Mori Kogoro just happened to come back from outside. Souji complained about the changeable weather, took off his heavy coat, went back to the room and said he wanted to wash his clothes that were wet with sweat.
You might as well go to the lounge inside the hotel to play for a while, and then go to the restaurant to have lunch.
Lunch was to be eaten together at 12 o'clock sharp. Everyone sat in the restaurant waiting for the Takano siblings and Paul to arrive so that they could start eating.
Takano Soshu hurried in: "Sorry, sorry, I just finished washing the clothes, so I'm a little late."
Kitagawa Makoto, who was sitting on the inside, raised his eyes and glanced at Zongshu.
"Ms. Meihui and Mr. Paul haven't had breakfast yet. Are they not planning to have lunch either?" Boss Yamada glanced at his watch.
"They haven't left the room yet?" You are a little surprised. You don't have to sleep in all morning.
"Yes," Boss Yamada replied, "I'll go up and call them." He stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
Nothing will happen, right? You have a bad feeling in your heart, and you glare at Conan.
Conan (mist covered): ???
A few minutes later, Boss Yamada's scream came from the corridor: "Ah - someone's dead!!"
you:……
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all ran upstairs. Conan ran the fastest, with great energy hidden in his small stature, and he was the first to run.
You followed behind and took a few steps forward. Boss Yamada fell down in front of Miss Meihui's door. You turned your eyes and saw the scene inside the house -
Blackened blood and a fallen body.
You close your eyes. Then you hear screams and gasps behind you.
"The police said the road up the mountain was blocked by heavy snow. It's still snowing now, so it'll take some time for them to clear the road." Matsuda put down the phone, took out his police ID from his wallet, and said calmly, "I'm police officer Jinpei Matsuda. Before the local police arrive, please follow my instructions for the time being."
Takano Souji's eyes were dull and his body was limp, but luckily Uncle Mori was holding him up. Hearing Matsuda's speech, he suddenly burst into tears: "Please, police! Please find the murderer! My sister, Mihui!!" He looked very painful.
"Please accept my condolences..." Uncle Maori patted Muneki on the back.
"Paul's current whereabouts are unknown," Matsuda looked around. They were now standing in Paul's room. "But he left without packing his belongings. He left in a hurry."
"According to my guess, Paul must be the murderer, otherwise why would he run away?" Uncle Maori thought and then said.
Great, one candidate is eliminated.
"But, do they know each other?" you ask.
"Ah..." Boss Yamada hesitated, "I saw them arguing before dinner yesterday."
"It's all because of Paul!" Zong Shu looked very angry. "It was clearly Meihui's idea, but he just used it. Afterwards, Meihui asked him for a share of the profits, but he said it had nothing to do with Meihui!"
A contradiction arises. Is it a matter of money...?
"Oh, that's strange, but he didn't even take his computer with him," Conan leaned on the table, "Isn't this something very important to a game background designer?"
"Indeed," Mr. Yamada nodded, "but... I noticed he was plugging in a USB drive yesterday."
"He must have pulled out the USB drive, killed someone, and then jumped out of Meihui's room window and escaped." Zong Shu covered his face.
It still feels strange. You glance around and notice that the side window in the room is open.
You walk over there and stick your head out, and there's an unfathomable abyss below, with bone-chilling cold air rising from below.
Matsuda pulled out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on, then walked over to turn on the computer: "...Sure enough, the computer hard drive has been formatted. We need to wait for the technical department to come in."
The recovery operation won't be that difficult, you thought to yourself. But you didn't say anything.
Kitagawa Makoto yawned and said, "It's really boring. I'm going to go back and take a nap."
"Please wait a moment——" Matsuda opened his mouth.
“Bang!”
Matsuda's hand was grabbed in mid-air. Beichuan slowly raised his eyes with a sharp look: "Don't touch me...police."
"What? This attitude." Xiaolan frowned slightly.
Conan narrowed his eyes and stared at Kitagawa Maaki.
He loosened his grip and left the scene without looking back, with his clothes drawing a black arc in the air.
You took a few steps forward. “Are you okay, Matsuda?”
"..." Matsuda Jinpei lowered his eyes to look at his wrist, the purple handprint was very obvious, "This guy...his hand is very strong."
"I think he might know something." Matsuda lowered his voice.
"Forget it, let's just wait for the local police to come." You don't want Matsuda and Shinjiki to come into direct conflict, as this will be disadvantageous to Matsuda. "If he doesn't want to talk, we can't force him."
"That's true." Matsuda thought for a moment, "The murderer may still be at the scene, so be careful."
The snow was getting heavier, and a phone call came saying that a small avalanche had occurred below and the local police would not arrive until tomorrow.
Everyone was silent during dinner. Everyone felt complicated after this incident.
After turning off the lights, you coaxed little Jingguang to sleep, but you stayed awake in the darkness, thinking.
Paul's disappearance is very strange. You don't think he is a fugitive - maybe he has something to do with the organization. Real wine can't come here for no reason.
There might be something in that missing USB drive and the formatted computer.
You lay on your back in bed for a long time, and finally got up.
Yes, by the time you rescued Keimitsu, perhaps your team was already determined... and you needed chips, of one kind or another.
You encouraged yourself mentally, then tiptoed out of bed and opened the door.
The lighting in the corridor was very dim. You walked lightly into the innermost room on the second floor.
The door was not locked, remaining in its original state.
You turned on the computer skillfully, took off the necklace from your neck - it was actually a small USB drive, and then plugged it into the computer.
The faint blue light of the computer screen shines on your face, and you place your fingers on the keyboard, ready to start typing.
However, at this moment, a sixth sense made you slowly look back - and met another pair of dark red eyes.
"!!!"
You force the scream to stay in your throat, and your back feels numb like needles.
When did the other party appear? There was no sound at all.
"……" The other person walked out from the shadows and landed silently, but you could feel a pressure coming from you.
He stared at you and said softly, "Are you good at using computers?"
“…” You pursed your lips and took a deep breath.
You must answer, and your answer may determine your fate.

I originally thought that the cat brother was a widely circulated meme...it seems not to be the case (sucking fingersjpg.)
In fact, it is Akai's later pseudonym~
Okiya Subaru → Subaru → Cat Brother
Wearing cat skin
Subaru Hideichi → Cat Hideichi
Maybe it’s because cats are more convenient to type ~ everyone types like this hhh and it’s unexpectedly cute hahaha (Akai: …)
By the way, I think everyone calling him Black Cat Sheriff is also very interesting, hahahaha, it actually seems very suitable [dog head jpg.]
