People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"Hello, we're here to make chocolate."

"I'll be relying on you to take care of me from now on."

At the entrance of Chuido Villa, Xiaolan and Yuanzi stood at the front, smiled at each other, and bowed to the old man in front of them.

Akemi, holding Ai's hand, stood behind Conan, her eyes scanning the villa in front of them.

Just as the old man was about to speak, Kogoro Mouri suddenly pushed the two of them aside, his eyes narrowed and a sly smile appearing on his lips.

"I think it's you, isn't it? The boss who goes around deceiving young girls and runs off to this godforsaken mountain to make chocolates and line his own pockets, isn't that you?"

Upon hearing this, the boss seemed dumbfounded, staring blankly at Kogoro Mouri.

Xiaolan quickly realized what was happening and pulled Maoli behind her, saying, "Dad, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm so sorry."

At this moment, the shop owner also reacted, glanced at the sign of the shop, gave a light snort, and replied nonchalantly:

"Who said I was lying? It's just that ten years ago, a couple met while making chocolates at my place, and they eventually got married, which is why it caused a stir on TV and in magazines."

The proprietress continued, "My husband used to be the owner here. After he died four years ago, there were rumors that ghosts were haunting the place, which is why the number of tourists coming here suddenly decreased."

Xiaolan, who had been looking sympathetic, changed her expression instantly after hearing the rumor that ghosts were at work.

"Is...is it haunted by ghosts?!"

"Sigh..." After sighing, the landlady immediately said, "Once it starts snowing here, you'd better not go out anymore. If you don't want the ghosts and monsters in the mountains to give you special gifts, you'd better listen to me."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko and Ran huddled together, trembling, while Akemi remained calm.

For her, ghosts and monsters were not very credible. According to Asakawa Yu, most of the strange events in the world were caused by someone interfering.

So as long as we know it's man-made, there's nothing to fear, unless that person possesses the truth.

"elder sister."

As Akemi was lost in thought, she felt her hand being tugged. Looking down, she saw it was her younger sister, Ai Haibara.

"What's wrong, Ai?"

"……never mind."

After saying that, Ai Haibara fell silent and continued to obediently play the role of a cold little girl.

Akemi felt somewhat helpless about this. Ever since her younger sister turned into a child, she felt that Ai's personality had changed a lot.

For example... she's become a bit clingier, and a bit more affectionate, etc.

But no matter what, she's still my sister, so what can I do but spoil her?

Besides, Mingmei was actually happy to see this happen. After all, the fact that her sister would do this only proved that the organization's influence on her was gradually weakening.

After that, Xiaolan and her friends met a man and two women.

The man was a reporter. After explaining the rumors about the Snow Woman to the group, he turned and left, leaving behind only a woman named Ako and another companion.

Then, the proprietress said she was going to the forest to sweep the grave of her deceased husband.

After the aunt left, under the direction of the woman named Yako, everyone decided to go inside and make chocolate.
