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

Officer Kawada stopped what he was doing and asked, "Hmm? Why do you say that?"

Kitagawa Taki said, "The bottle of sleeping pills was not even opened. Miss Asanuma's preparations, the white kimono and the suicide note, indicate that she intended to kill Kinoshita Akiko and then fake it as suicide. This is very different from the current situation."

"Hmm...but it's also possible that she is deliberately creating confusion!" Officer Kawada said after thinking for a while.

"Whether it's true or not, just go back and have the forensic doctor check if there's any sleeping pills in Akiko Kinoshita's system."

After saying this, Kitagawa Taki didn't say anything more. Whether Asanuma Yoko would be identified as the murderer or not was none of his business anyway.

The two policemen then left with the body, evidence and Yoko Asanuma.

Xiaolan said: "How could this happen?"

She quite liked Akiko Kinoshita, but she disappeared overnight.

Sonoko sighed, "Miss Kinoshita is quite pitiful. I never thought that Asanuma Yoko, as a friend, would actually go to such lengths to kill her."

"Humans are emotional creatures, and emotions are invisible, so they are fickle. Due to certain opportunities, once these emotions turn into jealousy or hatred, murderous intent will also arise."

Ai Haibara walked out of the room with her hands behind her back while speaking.

"Jealousy? Hatred?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Ai, you sometimes say very mature things!"

"Uh, haha, I usually ask her to watch less TV dramas!" Miyano Akemi smiled awkwardly, covering up for her sister.

Then, everyone left the room.

Sonoko asked curiously, "Taki, are you saying that Miss Kinoshita was killed by the Snow Woman?"

"It's very likely that there's no one else here in the wild mountains and wilderness except us." Beichuan Taki said, "So I plan to stay here for one more night and see what happens. You guys can go back first."

They originally planned to go out and play for two days and had to drive back to Beika Town this afternoon.

Sonoko said, "Let's stay here too and go back together tomorrow!"

Beichuan Taki asked: "Don't you have classes tomorrow?"

"That's easy. I'll just call my homeroom teacher and ask for leave."

The other teachers in Sonoko's class were not aware of her identity as the eldest daughter of the Suzuki chaebol, but the homeroom teacher knew it very well, and it went without saying that even a small matter like asking for leave was a big deal.

"Well, that's fine."

……

late at night.

After the others went to bed, Kitagawa Taki and Koizumi Hongzi went out.

It was still snowing outside, but fortunately it didn't snow during the day, otherwise Kitagawa Taki and others would have difficulty driving down the mountain tomorrow.

Soon, the two of them rode their brooms into a valley.

Kitagawa Taki asked: "Do you feel that the snow here has become heavier?"

Koizumi Hongzi nodded, "Yeah."

Not only was the snow heavier in the valley, but there was also a biting cold wind.

Beichuan Taki whispered in Koizumi Hongzi's ear: "Be careful."

Kitagawa Taki secretly expanded his spiritual sense.

Koizumi Hongzi slowed down her flying speed, and just after they flew a few dozen meters, a strong chill came from their left side.

Koizumi Hongzi sneered. She was prepared and suddenly accelerated to avoid the attack.

Several large trees on the roadside were instantly frozen in the cold air and then shattered.

This also made the two of them certain that it was the Snow Girl who appeared.

The two men got off their brooms and looked around vigilantly, but Kitagawa Taki did not find the Snow Girl within his range of awareness.

Kitagawa Taki whispered, "Can you see where she is?"

Koizumi Hongzi replied: "No."

The next second, the visible cold air came again, but the difference this time was that the cold air wrapped around the two of them, leaving no room to hide.

Kitagawa Taki released several fireballs that exploded in the air, and the flames isolated the cold air. Koizumi Hongzi cast burning magic, and flames emitting purple light gushed out.

In his spiritual consciousness, countless ice cones were condensing in the air around the two people.

"careful!"

As soon as Kitagawa Taki finished speaking, countless ice cones attacked the two of them from all directions.

He pinched the "fighting" character with his hands, and gathered spiritual power in his palms. A large amount of lightning was released, shattering the ice cones in the sky.

Beichuan Taki looked unhappy. The Snow Girl's moves were not difficult to deal with, but it was annoying that she didn't show up. His spiritual sense range was not enough, and he couldn't even see the Snow Girl.

Kitagawa Taki wasn't the only one feeling annoyed. Koizumi Hongzi said, "Help me hold her off for a bit. I'll cast a magic circle and find her."

I don’t know if she heard what the two said, but before Koizumi Hongzi could take any action, suddenly a long and shrill scream came from above them.

This was not over yet. The next moment, a huge roar came from the hillsides on both sides, as if there was an earthquake, and a white wave rushed towards the two people in the valley.

"Fuck!"

Kitagawa Taki had never expected this avalanche.

Koizumi Hongzi's face changed and she flew into the sky holding Kitagawa Taki.

But the Snow Girl's attack had not yet stopped. The snowflakes flying in the sky seemed to have come to life. They no longer fell slowly, but flew towards the two of them like sharp blades.

A pale golden barrier unfolded around the two of them, blocking the snowflakes for them.

After the avalanche, the entire valley was buried in snow.

"She's there!" said Koizumi Hongzi, pointing to the top of a big tree below.

At the same time, he flew over quickly with Kitagawa Taki.

It was a pure white figure, with white hair, white clothes, and white skin, but the appearance was really not flattering.

Legends are just legends. There is no such thing as a beautiful appearance. Perhaps what people see is just an illusion.

Seeing that her position was exposed, the Snow Girl quickly flew deep into the valley.

"Haha, you want to escape?"

Koizumi Hongzi sped up, holding Kitagawa Taki in one hand and controlling the tree trunks on both sides of the valley that were broken by the avalanche with the other hand to block the snow girl.

Kitagawa Taki released a large number of water arrows at the snow woman.

The Snow Girl's retreat was blocked, so she turned around and breathed out a surge of cold air at the water arrows in the air, but it only froze the water arrows into ice arrows. The power was undiminished, and some of the ice arrows pierced the Snow Girl's body, causing her to let out a shrill scream.

The two men fell in front of the Snow Girl, who screamed at them, seeming very angry.

"You're so noisy!"

Koizumi Hongzi raised her finger, and a purple lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck the snow girl.

This time the Snow Girl stopped screaming and fell to the ground.

Beichuan Taki pinched his chin and said, "It seems that this snow girl can't speak!"

"It's just a little monster, it's normal that he can't speak."

"Oh hahaha!"

Koizumi Hongzi returned to her normal state.

"Kill him." Kitagawa Taki was a little disappointed.

He originally thought he could still communicate with the Snow Girl, but it turned out that she couldn't even speak.

Koizumi Hongzi nodded. If this wasn't the Snow Girl's home turf, the two of them would have killed her long ago.

Beichuan Taki walked forward and took out his phone, "Hongzi, help me turn on the light so I can take some pictures."

Koizumi Hongzi took out a flashlight and shone it for Kitagawa Taki. "Why are you taking pictures?"

"Let Sonoko and the others take a look and satisfy their curiosity!"

Kitagawa Taki took a few photos, but his phone was really not good and the photos were too blurry.

"I can only make do with it."

After saying that, Kitagawa Taki cast a fireball, burning the Snow Girl to ashes.

Koizumi Hongzi waved her hand, and the wooden wall made of tree trunks collapsed.

As the two were about to go back, Koizumi Hongzi suddenly felt dizzy and fell down.

Beichuan Taki quickly reached out to catch it, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's okay... I think I overexerted myself."

The main reason was that the final attempt to stop the Snow Girl consumed too much of Koizumi Hongzi's mental energy.

Kitagawa Taki felt relieved and put Koizumi Hongzi on his back.

Just now, it was Koizumi Hongzi who carried him flying, and now it was his turn to carry her back.

Koizumi Hongzi lay on Kitagawa Taki's back, a warm feeling surged in her heart, and she fell asleep unknowingly.
