Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

There is a semi-natural ski resort on the mountain in Sanri Town.

Not far from the ski resort is a hot spring hotel.

Shinichi Kudo, standing at the hotel entrance, was incredibly frustrated.

"Is this what it means to have few people? Where are there few people?"

Beside him stood Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, Kazuma Kudo, Haruka Haibara, and Ai Haibara, a line of people that was certainly not few.

Kogoro Mouri snorted, "You brat, if you think there are too many people, you can go back!"

Shinichi Kudo was speechless for a moment—it was clearly Uncle Mori who insisted on coming along, wasn't it?

He had originally thought that since he couldn't confess his feelings at the Beika Hotel, he might as well bring Kazuma along and have a good time for a day.

However, Kudo Kazuma didn't want to be a third wheel, so he brought along the Haibara sisters, Haruka and Ai.

When Kogoro Mouri heard that Ran and that brat Shinichi Kudo had gone skiing, he insisted on going along.

So a whole bunch of them suddenly showed up.

It was almost noon when they arrived at the hot spring hotel, so the group decided to have lunch before going skiing.

During their meal, they met two other people staying at the same hotel—the famous actress Akiko Kinoshita and her body double Yoko Asanuma.

Upon seeing the beautiful woman, Kogoro Mouri forgot all about his disdain for Shinichi Kudo and quickly went to get closer.

"Ms. Akiko Kinoshita? Wow, it really is her! I watched your movie 'The Snow Woman's Love' before, and your acting was superb! Especially the resolute figure when you jumped into the lake in the last scene, it was so captivating!"

Kinoshita Akiko smiled and gestured to Asanuma Yoko, who looked about five or six parts like her but wasn't as pretty: "I didn't jump into the lake, Yoko did."

Yoko Asanuma nodded to everyone: "Hello, I am Yoko Asanuma, a stuntwoman."

Akiko Kinoshita said with a smile, "Yoko is my personal stunt double. In other words, she's like my shadow; we're inseparable."

According to the two women, they only came here for two days because they found out by chance that there were almost no tourists. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult for Kinoshita Akiko, as a public figure, to have a proper trip.

After lunch, the originally gloomy sky cleared up. To prevent their skin from getting sunburned, Akiko Kinoshita and Yoko Asanuma put on protective face shields, and then wore goggles and hats over them.

Watching the two women leave, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but remark, "They even have protective face shields like that? It's like we're going to rob a bank..."

Xiaolan was both amused and exasperated: "Dad, how can you describe it like that! Okay, let's go!"

Even though there were only a dozen or so people at the entire ski resort, Kogoro Mouri's shouting made it seem like there were many people.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri yell and crash into a tree again, Shinichi Kudo couldn't bear to watch and turned his head away.

"Seriously, this guy's skiing skills are so terrible, why did he have to come along?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll steal his precious daughter away?"

As he spoke, he pointed to Haruka Haibara and Ai Haibara in the gentle slope area: "Why don't you teach Uncle Mori like they do?"

Ai Haibara doesn't know how to ski, but Haruka Haibara does. Right now, the two sisters are happily teaching and learning on the gentle slope.

Shinichi Kudo smirked, "No way! I'm skiing with Ran. You have nothing to do anyway, why don't you go teach the old man?"

"Are you kidding me!" Kudo Kazuma shrugged. "You're not teaching your own father-in-law, yet you expect to boss me around? What are you dreaming of?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and pushed Shinichi Kudo hard from behind.

Caught off guard, Shinichi Kudo stumbled. Had he not been a skilled skier who quickly regained his balance, he would have ended up crashing into a tree just like his father-in-law.

After stopping what he was doing, Shinichi Kudo angrily made a big snowball and threw it at his brat: "You little rascal!"

Kudo Kazuma dodged the snowball, put his hands on his hips and laughed, "Your back defense is still negative, I'm helping you train, okay!"

"hateful!"

Shinichi Kudo immediately started making snowballs and throwing them at his younger brother.

Kudo Kazuma was not one to back down easily, and immediately launched a counterattack.

The two of them chatted back and forth, making up for the regret of never having played in the snow together when they were children.

Not only was Kudo Kazuma quick at dodging snowballs, but he also had the advantage of being on higher ground, and it wasn't long before Kudo Shinichi was at a disadvantage.

"Sister Lan... cough! Lan! Come quick, help me!"

Ran was both amused and exasperated by the sudden address of "Ran-neechan," but she decisively joined the fray. Instead of helping to fight back, she simply helped Shinichi Kudo block the snowballs that he might not be able to dodge.

Now it was Kudo Kazuma's turn to be at a disadvantage in a 1v2 situation.

Is he the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses?

Of course not.

He is a cheater!

So Kazuma Kudo used a cheat code, secretly controlling the snowball that Shinichi Kudo threw with the [Sword Control Technique], making it fly more and more crooked, and directly hitting Kogoro Mouri on the head as he regrouped and planned to go snowball again.

"Bad boy!!!"

Kogoro Mouri immediately lost his temper.

Shinichi Kudo immediately fled for his life, and Kogoro Mouri picked up his ski pole and gave chase.

He fled, he chased, and they collided.

Xiaoyao and Xiaoai were dumbfounded.

Kudo Kazuma laughed through his tears.

Xiaolan was both amused and exasperated. Just as she was about to help her unfortunate old father up, she saw Kinoshita Akiko and Asanuma Yoko, whose faces were completely covered, slide over to their side.

"You guys are having a lot of fun."

Yoko Asanuma even stopped to greet them.

Xiaolan was a little embarrassed: "Haha, yeah..."

Shinichi, Kazuma, and her good-for-nothing father—the three of them could put on a show. How could it not be lively?

The lively atmosphere continued until dusk, when suddenly it started snowing, and the snow fell heavier and heavier. Kudo Kazuma and his group were the first to return to their inn.

A short while later, Yoko Asanuma returned, dressed in a pink ski suit and fully equipped with pink accessories.

Ran asked curiously, "Huh? Miss Yoko, are you the only one who came back?"

"Yes, Akiko wants to skate a little longer."

Kogoro Mouri remarked, "Akiko-san is truly full of energy!"

Haruka Haibara patted Ai Haibara's head and said, "Perhaps it's because Akiko, as a big star, usually can't easily go out and have fun. It's a rare opportunity, so she wants to play a little longer."

Just like when they were walking back, if the snow hadn't been falling so heavily, Kogoro Mouri wouldn't have felt comfortable leaving the two of them outside. Ai wanted to stay outside with her sister a little longer.

"She's not full of energy at all; it's all just an act."

As Yoko Asanuma took off her shoes and said, "Actually, Akiko's health isn't very good, and her father recently passed away, so she's not in a good mood. Saying she's playing around is more like she's trying to relieve her emotions."

"I'm going to change my clothes now, see you in a bit."

Watching Yoko Asanuma's departing figure, Kazuma Kudo poked Shinichi Kudo: "Don't you feel a strong sense of déjà vu about this scene?"

The case of the older sister murdering her younger sister and then staging it as a suicide during Yoko Okino's last concert is so similar to this one...

So, he really did receive another soul fragment?
