Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

Nothing happened all night.

The next morning, Kitagawa Taki, who always got up early to practice, was awakened by a scream.

I looked at the time, wow, it’s just past four o’clock.

The screams came from next to Kitagawa Taki's room, and next to him were Akiko Kinoshita and Yoko Asanuma.

Kitagawa Taki used his spiritual sense to scan and found that Kinoshita Akiko was dead, and Asanuma Yoko was slumped on the ground.

He walked out of the room and found that everyone was awakened by the scream.

Sonoko rubbed her eyes sleepily, "Taki, what happened?"

Beichuan Taki said in a deep voice: "Something happened to those two next door."

As he said that, he walked to the next door and knocked on it.

Kitamura Genbei and Kitamura Kayo also put on their clothes and looked at the closed door with worry on their faces.

After a while, Yoko Asanuma opened the door.

What caught everyone's eyes was Akiko Kinoshita, or to be more precise, her corpse.

Instead of covering herself with a blanket, she was only wearing her underwear, with a smile on her face.

"Snow Woman, it's Snow Woman!" Kitamura Kayo said with a look of horror.

After she said this, everyone else also thought of the legend of the Snow Woman, and the death of Akiko Kinoshita seemed to be completely consistent.

Kitagawa Taki walked to the body and found no livor mortis on it, indicating that Akiko Kinoshita had been dead for no more than two hours.

Then he tested the temperature of the body with the back of his hand and found it was very cold.

Ai Haibara and Akako Koizumi walked to the side of Taki Kitagawa, while Sonoko and the other two were comforting the crying Yoko Asanuma.

"His face is pale, his limbs are slightly blue and bent, he must have been frozen to death." Haibara Ai said after looking at him.

Koizumi Hongzi concluded: "This must have been done by the Snow Woman. The temperature in the room is definitely not enough to freeze someone to death."

Huiyuan Ai suggested another possibility, "Not necessarily. It's also possible that someone took her outside and froze her to death, and then brought her body back."

What Haibara Ai said did make sense. Kitagawa Taki glanced at Asanuma Yoko. If Kinoshita Akiko was murdered, it was most likely this woman who did it.

The stuntman kills the actor to take his place, this plot is such a classic.

If it was done by the Snow Woman, that would be interesting. He and Koizumi Akako searched for her for a long time last night but couldn't find her. As a result, Kinoshita Akiko, who played the Snow Woman, was killed that night.

What is this? Li Kui killing Li Gui?

Beichuan Taki said: "Let's call the police first. Boss, could you please call the police?"

The old couple was still standing at the door, at a loss as to what to do.

"Oh, okay." After hearing what Kitagawa Taki said, Kitamura Genbei reacted and ran back to the room to call the police.

After the boss went to call the police, Kitagawa Taki turned to look at Asanuma Yoko. After being comforted by the three people, she calmed down a lot. "Ms. Asanuma, can you tell me the details of the situation?"

Yoko Asanuma recalled: "Akira and I went to bed early last night. Just now, I got up to go to the bathroom and turned on the light. Akiko was already like this..."

Beichuan Taki continued to ask: "Then do you feel anything unusual?"

Asanuma Yoko wiped her tears and said, "No, I was sound asleep."

She and Akiko Kinoshita slept a few meters apart, so it was normal that she didn't notice.

……

About an hour later.

Two policemen with tired faces rushed to the B&B, having apparently been pulled out of bed.

"I'm Kawada from the Mikazu Town Police Station, and this is my colleague, Officer Odagiri," Officer Kawada introduced.

Then, he asked: "Are you the owner of the B&B who reported the case? Where is the deceased?"

Kitamura Genbei nodded and said, "Follow me."

The three of them came to the innermost room.

Officer Kawada saw that the room was packed with people. "So many people?"

"They are all my tenants," Kitamura Genbei explained.

Officer Kawada's expression remained unchanged. With so many people crowded in the room, they might have ruined the scene.

"Don't worry, officer, no one has tampered with the scene." Kitagawa Taki guessed what he was worried about. Indeed, no one had tampered with the scene, so he just used the back of his hand to test the body surface temperature.

Officer Kawada's expression relaxed a little, and he began to check the condition of the body.

As soon as he saw the body, Officer Kawada's face changed drastically.

This was almost the same condition as the deceased in the previous climber death case he handled.

At that time, it was rumored that the murder was committed by the Snow Girl. He didn't believe it, but he didn't find any useful clues, and it ended in an accident.

"The deceased's name is Akiko Kinoshita, and the person over there is Yoko Asanuma, who was traveling with the deceased." Kitagawa Taki helped introduce them.

Officer Kawada asked: "What is this gentleman's name? What is your relationship with them?"

"Kitagawa Taki, I don't know them. I just met them once when I came to the hotel yesterday. Kinoshita Akiko is a famous actress. My companion recognized her, and Asanuma Yoko is her stunt double."

"I see. Thank you, Mr. Kitagawa."

Afterwards, Officer Kawada questioned Yoko Asanuma, while another police officer was responsible for taking photos and collecting evidence.

"Ms. Asanuma, could you both take out your bags?"

Yoko Asanuma is undoubtedly the primary suspect, and Officer Kawada wants to check their luggage.

When she heard that she had to take out her bag, Asanuma Yoko realized the seriousness of the problem, "I, I..."

Seeing Asanuma Yoko's hesitation, Officer Kawada became more suspicious of her. "Is there something inconvenient?"

Yoko Asanuma smiled bitterly and took out both of their bags with gritted teeth.

The two policemen quickly found several suspicious items, especially a suicide note from Akiko Kinoshita, which was found in Yoko Asanuma's bag.

A snow-white kimono, a bottle of sleeping pills, and a suicide note.

The suicide note probably said that Akiko Kinoshita had pneumonia like her father and wanted to end her life like a snow woman.

Officer Kawada asked, "Ms. Asanuma, could you please explain?"

After a moment's silence, Asanuma Yoko said, "I used these things to prepare to kill Akiko, but I haven't done it yet! Akiko wasn't killed by me, it was the Snow Woman!"

How could Officer Kawada believe it? He had already imagined Yoko Asanuma's murder process in his mind - first she used sleeping pills to make Akiko Kinoshita fall asleep, then took her out of the B&B, waited for her to freeze to death, and then brought her back to the B&B and made it look like Akiko Kinoshita was killed by the snow woman.

"Let's talk about this back at the police station!"

Officer Kawada signaled another police officer to take Yoko Asanuma away.

Asanuma Yoko panicked, "It's not me, it's really not me!"

Kitagawa Taki, who was watching the whole process, slapped his forehead and asked, "Are all Japanese police so careless?"

There are too many doubts here. I don’t know if it was done by the Snow Woman, but it was definitely not Yoko Asanuma who killed the person.

Kitagawa Taki stopped him and said, "Wait, officer, Kinoshita Akiko was not killed by Miss Asanuma."
