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

"Don't go too far, you're late again!"

"What does it matter? It's not like we missed it!"

Inside the room, the Dozaki brothers were having a heated argument.

"I feel like this gathering might be quite tough." Listening to the argument between the two people in the room, and thinking about Misa Setura's temper, Asakawa Yu began to reflect on whether choosing to come here was a mistake.

"Don't say that. Aside from them, everyone else is quite friendly..." Miyano Akemi advised from the side.

"Well... I hope so..."

During dinner, everyone gathered together, but two people were absent: Dozaki Tsuyoshi and Setura Misa.

However, suspiciously, her boyfriend, Masuji Wataru, acted very strangely when his girlfriend didn't come to dinner. He not only didn't ask about it, but also acted very coldly, which made Asakawa Yu feel that something was wrong.

Ignoring the two absent individuals, everyone ate and chatted, laughing and joking, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

Suddenly, Hiramekuro became sentimental and said to everyone: Mountains can unite people, but they can also separate them. Climbing mountains is accompanied by danger, and he himself has lost friends because of this.

"The first half of the road to this Snow Mountain Lodge is easy to walk, but the second half is like a demon's path. This is the main reason for the Snow Spirit Legend and the tragic day of TAKAHASHI."

TAKAHASHI?

"that……"

"Speaking of which, why hasn't Ms. Setura returned yet?" Asakawa Yu was about to ask further, but was interrupted by Kuronuma Shigeki, so she had to put the idea aside for the time being...

After dinner, in order to keep the stove burning, everyone had to come and move lamp oil.

Asakawa Yu was tasked with delivering lamp oil to Setura Misa, who hadn't come for dinner. However, when he opened Setura Misa's door, he found no one inside. So, after putting the lamp oil away, Asakawa Yu went downstairs to the living room to chat with everyone.

But as the night wore on, Misa Setura did not appear even once, causing Asakawa Yu's unease to resurface.

"What's wrong?" Miyano Akemi asked worriedly, seeing Asakawa Yu's furrowed brows.

"...It's nothing, I just feel like something's off."

Finally, in order to verify her conjecture, Asakawa Yu brought Miyano Akemi to the door of Setura Misa's room.

As soon as I placed my hand on the door of the room, a chill swept over me.

Something's wrong! The temperature of this door is way too low!

"Mr. Kuronuma, please bring me the key to Ms. Setura Misa's room right away!" Asakawa Yu's unease grew stronger, and he knew that something serious had probably happened.

However, the situation suddenly changed!

Suddenly, Ms. Setura's door began to shake violently and eventually broke open on its own!

The cold wind was howling, but strangely, it seemed that someone was sleeping in bed covered with a blanket.

Asakawa Yu walked over and carefully lifted the blanket. In an instant, a chilling scene came into view. What came into view was the long-lost Setura Misa, but at this moment, an ice axe was stuck in his chest, and his death was extremely gruesome!

The scene before him made Asakawa Yu gasp. His eyes flickered, but he quickly regained his composure.

"What happened... Ah!!!!" Tsukie Mao entered the room to ask, but when she saw Setura Misa lying dead on the bed, she screamed in terror.

"Wha...what happened? What was that scream just now...Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!" Hirame Rokuro and the others who rushed over after hearing the news also saw the situation and were just as frightened as they screamed incessantly.

Something's wrong, something's very wrong! Asakawa Yu frowned, constantly observing the surrounding situation.

"Boss, have you thought of something?" Miyano Akemi, whose eyes were fixed on Asakawa Yu, asked with a puzzled look, but she knew that her boss already had a clue.

"This is probably a premeditated murder plan."

"You...you mean a murder plan? What exactly is going on?!" Hirame Rokuro was curious when he heard Asakawa Yu's words, and the people behind him also pricked up their ears to listen.

"Don't you all find it strange? Why did Ms. Setura die here? Why did the murderer leave the body here without disposing of it?"

"After dinner, I delivered the lamp oil to Ms. Setura's room. There was nothing on the bed at that time."

"But it's also possible that she was murdered after you left the room?" Shigeki Kuronuma wondered.

"No, look at this. The lamp oil in the heater has hardly decreased. No matter who it is, in such cold weather, the first thing they would do upon entering a room is to turn on the heater."

"And this oil drum too, it's so full of lamp oil it's almost overflowing, which is enough to prove that Ms. Setura was already a cold corpse when she returned to her room, or that she was killed immediately after returning to her room."

Asakawa Yu continued to explain.

"But the second claim is almost impossible. Think about it, after we moved the lamp oil, we were all walking around the living room, and Ms. Setura's room was the most obvious place. If she came back, someone would definitely have noticed her."

"Also, look, the windows of this room are sealed with iron bars. Even if Ms. Setura is petite, she wouldn't be able to get in."

“You…you mean…” Hirame Roro asked hesitantly.

"That's right, this is a classic locked-room murder!" Asakawa Yu slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, her tone full of intimidation!

"Snow Spirit! It must be! She was taken away by Snow Spirit... TAKAHASDHI!" Hiramekuro's voice was filled with fear!

"As for Xue Ling... Anyway, everyone, please gather in the living room first. And in order to protect the scene, please ask Mr. Yamada not to let anyone near here."

Asakawa Yu began issuing orders, and his innate aura of authority prevented those present from expressing any dissatisfaction.

In the end, everyone except for Dozaki Tsuyoshi, who was too scared to attend, came to the living room.

First, Asakawa Yu began asking everyone what they had been doing and where they had gone.

However, after some questioning, no problems were found.

"Mr. Hiragi, you just mentioned that Miss Setura was taken away by Yuki-rei TAKAHASHI...is that right?" Seeing that she couldn't get any useful information, Asakawa Yu had to try another approach.

"…………Yes."

"Could you please tell me the story of this Snow Spirit legend?"

“…………I understand, actually…”
