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

"Mr. Eryuan!"

"Eryuan!"

"Eryuan! Where are you?"

In the wind and snow, Xiaolan, Mingmei, and the others each held a flashlight and searched for the missing Futakagi in the vast snow.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they shouted, no one responded to them.

In an instant, the worst possible outcome flashed through their minds.

In an instant, a gunshot rang out in the forest, drawing everyone's attention and setting off alarm bells in their minds.

"That one just now..."

"It's gunfire!"

pat!

Just as everyone was still in shock, a series of footsteps came from behind them.

"Looks like that guy beat me to it again."

Upon his arrival, he uttered a few strange words, which made Mori wary, but he couldn't help but ask, "And who are you, sir?"

When someone asked about his identity, the man remained calm, a strange smile appearing on his lips.

"Me? I'm just a guest currently staying at a holiday cottage in Fukitoyama.

The man then introduced himself and, upon learning that Mori and the others were searching for the missing Futagaki, offered to help.

After that, everyone searched together again in the wind and snow, but without exception, they all found nothing.

“No, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. If this continues, not only Mr. Nigaki, but we might all be in danger,” said the man named Itakura.

Watching the snowstorm intensify, Akemi knew the man was right, but his gentle nature led her and the others to abandon the unknown fate of Eryuan and leave. For a moment, everyone was filled with anxiety.

"Wang!"

Mingmei's ears twitched. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she kept thinking there was a dog barking nearby.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Is that a dog barking?"

"It sounds familiar, could it be Saburo?"

Upon hearing what Ako and the others said, the aunt immediately retorted, "Impossible, Saburo should be in the cabin right now!"

In an instant, Xiaolan and Mingmei's eyes met, and their minds suddenly thought of the same thing.

"Could it be that……"

"It's Conan and Ai?!"

"It's Conan and Ai?!"

The two women simultaneously voiced all the possibilities they could think of, and this premonition grew stronger when they considered the two children's fearless nature.

"What? You mean Conan and Ai ran away with Saburo?!" Sonoko understood what the two were thinking, but she was also surprised by this absurd statement.

"Let's go check it out first. If it's true, it's extremely dangerous!"

After saying that, Mori took the lead and ran in the direction from which the dog barking had come, and the others followed suit.

Finally, after running for about a minute, Conan and Saburo appeared in front of them as the flashlight beam shone.

"Conan! It really is you! Didn't I tell you to stay inside and wait for us?"

"Conan, where's Ai? Didn't she come out with you?"

Akemi looked left and right but didn't see Ai Haibara. This made her realize that her younger sister must have been obediently listening to her and waiting for them at the manor.

"Yes, Haibara is staying at the manor right now."

Hearing Conan's words, Akemi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, Ran stared at Conan with a serious expression, "Conan! Didn't I tell you to stay inside the cabin and wait? Why did you run out? Don't you know it's dangerous outside?"

------------------------------

Let me respond to some questions that many readers have been asking recently.

Because the author is a university student and is currently facing final exams, he has to prioritize his studies and has therefore taken a break from updating for a while.

But don't worry, this book will not be cut off. Updates will resume after the final exams. I apologize to everyone for this.

Thank you so much for your understanding, I am truly grateful!
