By the time Sonoko brought Xiaolan back to the living room and sat down, Kuroda Naoko had already led Fujiwara Hiroshi and Doi Takeki to place the cups and tableware on the table.

Sukama had also prepared some snacks and placed them on the table, and the atmosphere of the tea party was immediately ignited.

At this time, Tanaka Kikue, who had already finished killing people and setting up the scene, had opened the door and returned to the restaurant. Seeing that the things on the table had been placed, she spoke up.

"You're all ready!"

"That's right! Come on, find a chair and sit down!"

Naoko Kuroda replied that after Fujiwara Hiroshi's guidance, she has gradually integrated into the role of acting director.

"Oh! Where are all the others?" Tanaka Kikue asked as she was about to find a chair to sit down.

"Mr. Hamano is in charge of the entertainment program and is currently contemplating what kind of magic trick he should perform."

Sonoko excitedly introduced to Tanaka Kikue where Hamano Toshiya was going.

But Tanaka Kikue was asking the question even though she knew the answer. There was no such thing as her thinking about magic tricks upstairs. Now Hamano Toshiya was lying in the cold snow, dying with his eyes open!

"Mr. Ara, he went to the wine cellar!" Doi Takeki explained to Tanaka Kikue where Ara Yoshinori had gone.

What a coincidence! As soon as I mentioned Ara Yoshinori, he pushed the door open and came in with two bottles of red wine.

"It's freezing!" (Interestingly, the pronunciation in Japanese is "wu...shabi". Fujiwara Hiroshi was really distracted by it!)

"The Escape King and Shadow Master haven't arrived yet!" Tanaka Kikue began to intentionally or unintentionally lead the conversation towards these two people.

She was laying the groundwork for what was to happen next, because soon everyone would find Toshiya Hamano's body, and she was giving everyone some psychological hints in advance that all of this was done by the Shadow Mage.

"They don't get along well to begin with. Maybe they've already started arguing when they met somewhere?"

Naoko Kuroda also had a headache about the two of them. As soon as her names were mentioned, she felt that they might have started fighting.

"They don't get along well?" Xiaolan subconsciously repeated the question when she heard such a question.

"That's right! They had an argument about a magician." Sonoko explained to Xiaolan.

"Well, okay! Let's not talk about these unpleasant things today. I don't dare to say anything to Shadow Mage, but the head of the department, the Escape King, will definitely be here soon!"

Araki Yoshizuru said to everyone while opening a glass of red wine.

"He won't come!"

At this time, Conan woke up and came to the restaurant. When Conan heard Arayoshi say that the Escape King would be here soon, he pushed open the door with one hand and said to everyone.

"Conan!" Xiaolan turned around and saw that it was Conan. She hadn't reacted to what was happening yet and her mind was still blank. Shouldn't Conan be lying on the bed at this time?

How did he suddenly appear at the door? He even answered Mr. Ara Yoshinori, and looking at Conan with a serious expression, he didn't look like he was joking.

Soon, when everyone turned to look at Conan, no one was expecting this sudden interruption, but Conan did not let them continue to be curious and continued speaking.

"Because... he has been killed! In his apartment!" As Conan slowly walked to the dining table, he told the breaking news that the Escape King had been killed.

"You said he was killed?" Araki Yoshi asked in surprise. Everyone stood up from their seats in surprise and looked at Conan.

"What's going on, Conan?" Xiaolan also came straight to Conan, squatted down and asked Conan.

"That man's name is Nishiyama Mu, right?" Conan did not answer Xiaolan's question, but asked Ara Yoshinori.

"Yes!" Huang Yi answered subconsciously.

"That's exactly what the radio said! That's why I came back to tell you this, because everyone is in danger now!"

Conan was still feeling very uncomfortable at this time. Although he had woken up, a look of pain appeared on his face from time to time as Conan spoke.

"How could we be in danger?" Kuroda Naoko asked when she heard Conan say that everyone would be in danger, and Doi Takeki, who was not far behind her, also had a serious expression.

"Because Mr. Nishiyama Mu was killed, he left a message on his computer screen: One has been solved, Shadow Mage comes on." Conan suppressed the pain and said the message he heard on the radio.

"What did you say!?" Ara Yoshinori and Doi Takeki said the same thing almost at the same time.

"That makes sense! When those two were arguing, Hamano also participated in the discussion!"

Kikue Tanaka saw this as an opportunity and quickly turned the topic to Toshiya Hamano.

"No matter what, we have to tell him about this!" At this time, under the deliberate hint of Tanaka Kikue, Ara Yoshinori also remembered that Hamano Toshiya had been involved in the dispute between them before.

An ominous premonition arose spontaneously in the hearts of everyone present, and the heavy feeling of depression made the atmosphere particularly depressing.

"If Mr. Hamano had participated in the discussion between the Escape King and the Shadow Mage before, and he hasn't appeared in our sight at this moment, he's probably dead by now!"

Fujiwara Hiroshi listened to the information brought by Conan and made his own judgment based on the current situation.

"What!? Mr. Fujiwara, what is the basis for your judgment?" Doi Takeki was shocked by Fujiwara Hiroshi's sudden analysis and judgment, and asked back.

Because Fujiwara Hiroshi has always been the one who speaks the least, and like Mr. Sukama, they are the two people with the lowest presence in the restaurant.

If Fujiwara Hiroshi had not consciously approached Kuroda Naoko, he would have been a completely invisible person at this party.

However, it was such a transparent person who gave everyone an idea and judgment in this situation, which in itself is a very magical thing.

Others may not know the value of Fujiwara Hiroshi's words. For Conan, Sonoko and Ran, Fujiwara Hiroshi usually does not speak. Once he takes the initiative to speak, it is basically the closest to the truth.

"Brother Fujiwara, has Mr. Hamano already..." Xiaolan's heart tightened, and she felt the murderous atmosphere in the air approaching everyone.

"Well, based on my experience of going to and from various crime scenes so many times, and with Conan now back here, Mr. Hamano is most likely dead!"

Fujiwara Hiroshi described it very calmly and stated the basis for his judgment.

"Going in and out of...the crime scene many times? Who are you?" Ara Yoshinori was also frightened by Fujiwara Hiroshi's shocking words!

"Let me introduce myself again. I'm a partner from the famous Mori Detective Agency, the same agency that's famous throughout Japan for the Sleeping Kogoro!"

Fujiwara Hiroshi also imitated Edogawa Conan's pretentious speech. It's true, this pretentious feeling of being the center of attention is quite good. No wonder Conan likes this cool way of introducing himself every day.

"The sleeping Kogoro!? The famous detective?" Doi Takeshu also remembered the silly old man and turned to look at Conan beside him.

Because he has dealt with Mouri Kogoro before, he knows that Mouri Kogoro is just a clumsy and silly detective, and the truly capable one is Conan next to him, the shrunken high school detective Kudo Shinichi.

After all, he also helped Conan by pretending to be Kudo Shinichi and appearing in front of Xiaolan, allowing Conan to get away with it. It can be regarded as helping Conan to patch up the problem.

However, he had never met Fujiwara Hiroshi, so he tried to find some relevant information about Fujiwara Hiroshi from Conan.

This did allow Doi Takeshu to obtain the information, because he saw that Conan did not refute anything, but instead looked very serious in agreement.

It seems that Conan is very convinced of Fujiwara Hiroshi and thinks that there is no problem with Fujiwara Hiroshi's judgment. The same sense of trust is also reflected in Xiaolan and Sonoko.

That means Fujiwara Hiroshi feels that he has real ability, and is not like Kogoro Mori who relies on the fame built up by Conan.

However, there is one thing that Kaito Kidd cannot understand. In the case of Fujiwara Hiroshi, he should be very famous. Why has he never heard of any reports related to him?

Kidd planned to wait until this incident was over before going back to investigate Fujiwara Hiroshi's situation. Now was not the time to dwell on this.

"Mr. Fujiwara, it's already this late, please don't create this kind of atmosphere that will oppress and frighten everyone..."

Kikue Tanaka spoke up and said that she had already felt that Fujiwara Hiroshi was extraordinary and that he gave her a great sense of oppression.

"I'm so sorry! I scared you!"

When Fujiwara Hiroshi heard what Tanaka Kikue said, he spoke to her meaningfully, which made Tanaka Kikue feel her hair stand on end, like a prey being targeted by a hunter.

"But you don't have to worry. When Sonoko, Ran, and the others moved in, I asked Maori-san to go to a place with a signal and call the police.

I think Conan's return now further verifies my judgment. Brother Maori should not delay any longer and should have contacted the police at this moment.

However, with today's bad weather, visibility here is low at night and it is not suitable for climbing. We will probably have to wait until tomorrow daytime to wait for rescue or for a helicopter to arrive.

With the snowstorm tonight, the police won't be able to respond even if they receive a call, so everyone just needs to be patient, take precautions, and get through tonight without any problems."

Fujiwara Hiroshi did not tolerate Tanaka Kikue's secret probing at all, and directly gave the most accurate judgment of the current situation.

At the same time, it was also a disguised warning to Kikue Tanaka that you only have one night to carry out all your plans, and the police will definitely arrive tomorrow morning.

"Brother-in-law, why can't the police come tonight? The snowstorm has stopped now. We can drive through the mountains. How can the police not come?"

Yuanzi still felt confused. She thought that as long as she used the same method as them, she could get in here and take over everything here.

"That's impossible, Sister Sonoko!" Conan denied from the side.

"Don't be naive, Sonoko... Remember what I said when I first came here? The only entrance and exit here is that suspension bridge.

With such natural conditions in Blizzard Villa, it is impossible for the murderer Shadow Mage not to take advantage of it, or else he can live in peace.

If someone really wanted to do something, why would they leave the suspension bridge behind? Why do you think Conan came back with a high fever? And the fever was so high?

This must be the kid who risked his life to rush back to report the news while the suspension bridge was burning! That's why I said that Brother Maori should have contacted the police by now.

Even if Brother Maori had doubts about my judgment at first, now that this obvious thing is in front of him, it is impossible for him not to call the police.

As for my subsequent inference, it is naturally because after the suspension bridge broke, we were already trapped here. Whether it is a helicopter or a climbing rescue, it will have to be done tomorrow."

Fujiwara Hiroya spoke almost at the same time as Conan, denying Sonoko's naive idea. Sonoko was also naive and had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

After Fujiwara Hiroshi's well-reasoned and logical reasoning, everyone was convinced. Whether he had the goods or the ability, they could get a direct feeling of it just by listening to his analysis.

Fujiwara Hiroshi is obviously a capable person with strong reasoning and analytical skills. Just listening to his reasoning from beginning to end and the conclusions he draws is convincing.

"What Brother Fujiwara said is absolutely right. I was just lucky. At the last moment before the suspension bridge burned down, I rushed over the cliff and came to the villa..."

Looking back now, Conan began to feel a little scared. At that time, he completed the leap of faith purely based on his passion.

"Conan..." Xiaolan murmured Conan's name. Xiaolan recalled that Conan had been telling her to run away quickly until he fell into a coma. There was danger here. She felt very complicated and moved.

"But kid, you're too impulsive. I told you and Brother Maori to go down the mountain and call the police, so just follow them and call the police. What can go wrong with me here?

Since I knew that something might happen here, and I still dared to bring Yuanzi and Xiaolan in, I must be sure to ensure their safety."

Fujiwara Hiroshi lectured Conan, but he didn't hit him this time because Conan had a high fever and a severe cold. If it were any other time, Conan would have been hit by Fujiwara Hiroshi's violent iron fist.

"Anyway, let's go find Mr. Hamano first. Even if he's dead, we still have to find him!"

Ara Yoshinori spoke at this time. He was already convinced by Fujiwara Hiroshi's words, but finding Hamano Toshiya was still an urgent matter, even if it was just a basis for judgment!
