Model worker and his little darling

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Ping Qing frowned. Vodka was in trouble. What happened? He couldn't leave anytime soon; he couldn't just disappear suddenly.

Since Gin has gone to settle scores with his men, there shouldn't be any major problems.

While everyone was distracted, Heikiyo sent a message to Gin.

【I'm up in the mountain, I can't go back now, take care of yourself — Yu Lu】

After receiving the message from Hira, Gin stubbed out his cigarette and told Sylla to hurry up. He needed to rescue Vodka, who had been with him for several years and was very loyal. Then he would kill the group of police officers who were watching them all day.

Pingqing could only suppress his anxiety and was about to see what had happened when he heard Sonoko scream from the first floor.

Following the sound, they arrived at the first-floor bathroom, where they saw a long arrow had shot into the bathroom mirror, and Sonoko was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Kikue Tanaka became extremely angry and rushed out in the direction from which the arrow had been shot, shouting as she ran, "What a joke! You've really angered me! I don't know who you are. Don't cower and hide. Come out now!"

Then he plunged into the dark forest in the backyard. Everyone hurriedly chased after him, but they didn't find a single person.

Looking at Kikue Tanaka, who seemed to be blinded by rage, Pingqing thought it was too abnormal; she must be the murderer.

Arayoshi discovered a crossbow, which led him to an optimistic assumption that the murderer was indeed someone outside of them and had already discarded the murder weapon.

At this moment, Doi Takaki, who was standing nearby, punched the snow. Damn it, who is it?

This caught Conan's attention; this person was strange.

The group decided to return to the villa first, but Conan noticed that one tree had left traces of snow being shaken off. Upon closer inspection, he discovered a small hole at the base of the tree.

Seeing that Conan had made a discovery, Hirai leaned closer and asked, "What did you find?"

When Conan saw that it was Hirai, he told him what he had discovered.

Pingqing stroked his chin. "It seems that Ms. Tanaka, who rushed out the first time, is highly suspicious."

"Brother Pingqing, don't you think Doi Takaki is also suspicious?"

Pingqing carried Conan to the back of Doi Takaki and pointed to the footprints on the ground. "Didn't you notice that even someone as fat as him left footprints that are about as deep as mine?"

"This isn't his true identity. Could he be the murderer? No, I always feel there's something strange about his name." As he spoke, Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"The hiragana characters of Doi Takuki, when rearranged, form the name of Kaito Kid. But what is he doing here?"

"If he's Kid, then he's not the murderer. This is a magicians' gathering; Kid must be here for the party."

Conan shook his head, no longer dwelling on the question; finding the culprit was the priority.

Then, Heikichi led Conan on a walk around the villa and discovered that the villa was full of loopholes, and that one could climb to the second floor from any point.

When Conan walked down to the snow below the bathroom, he suddenly found a staple in the snow. He then jumped to the wall outside the bathroom window and saw a nail mark.

Back at the villa, Xiaolan asked the two if they had found anything.

"We've found a clue, but we still don't know who the killer is."

After he finished speaking, Ara Yoshinori brought over a few bottles of wine. "Let's all have a drink. It'll warm us up and maybe even change our mood a little."

Conan also curiously leaned over to look at the sailboat pattern on the bottle, and that one look made him instantly understand everything.

"Uncle, do you have a stapler, scissors, or a long rope here? We're going to have to wait here for the police until morning, and I'm so bored, so I want to do my art homework."

After saying that, she tugged at Pingqing's clothes and sweetly called out, "Brother Pingqing, come with me. I'll be scared if I go alone."

Hearing Conan's coquettish voice, Hirashi shuddered; he couldn't stand that voice. Besides, Conan had seen countless corpses; this was just a small scene, and he was scared? Not even a ghost would believe that.

She then slapped Conan's little hand away, saying, "You have to do your homework yourself. It's not good to ask someone for help. If you're scared, do it here. We're all here, so even if the murderer has a lot of guts, he wouldn't dare to do it here."

Conan looked at Pingqing speechlessly. Why did this guy let him down at such a crucial moment? He grabbed Pingqing's clothes and started walking upstairs. "Come on, Pingqing-nii."

After saying that, he turned back and winked at Pingqing. Pingqing raised an eyebrow. So Conan knew the method of the crime. He had been wondering why Conan had suddenly started to be disgusting.

After following Conan to the second floor, Heisei slapped Conan on the head, saying, "Be normal next time, don't disgust me."

Conan chuckled, "Brother Pingqing, when do you have time? I have something to tell you."

Ping Qing smiled back, "Hehe, I haven't had any time lately. Let's solve the case first. There's no rush for other things. We can talk about them later."

You should just keep it to yourself!

Conan grew anxious, "Then can we tell you after we find the culprit, okay?"

Pingqing nodded. After Conan finished setting up the trap and gave some instructions, he rushed downstairs.

Suddenly, Kid appeared behind Heikichi. "That little detective found out your identity?"

"That's it."

Anyway, none of what you know is their real identity.

Heiji glanced at Kaito, then suddenly leaned over and put his arm around his shoulder. "Kaito-kun, are you already planning to run away? How about taking me with you?"

Kidd was dumbfounded. "Aren't you going to wait for the police with them? If you come with me, how are you going to explain this to that little detective? Besides, who can stop you from leaving if you want to?"

"It's okay, I'll just say you've taken me hostage, I'm your hostage."

Kidd immediately jumped up and down, "Don't ruin my reputation, I would never do such a despicable thing."

Pingqing sighed, "I have things to do, but I can't expose myself, so I can only leave by using you. Alternatively, you can disguise yourself as me and stay here."

As he spoke, Heiji's eyes lit up. Wouldn't it be great to have Kid here to outwit Conan?

"I don't want to, I'll just take you away."

Seeing that Kidd had agreed, Pingqing smiled and said, "You can come to me anytime if you need anything."

Suddenly, Pingqing thought of something serious, "Can your hang glider carry two people?"

Kidd smiled confidently, "After what happened last time, Grandpa Terai has had someone upgrade my hang glider, so it can easily support the weight of two people."

Ping Qing breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.

Conan ran up to the group and said, "Brother Pingqing already knows how the murderer killed people. He said we should go to the forest outside."

After saying that, she led everyone into the forest in the backyard, and then waved to Pingqing, "Brother Pingqing, that's enough."

After working together, Hirai and Conan perfectly recreated the entire crime.

Kikue Tanaka also honestly admitted it.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Kidd's cloak flashed, and he instantly changed his clothes.

When Sonoko saw Kid downstairs, she was incredibly excited and shouted, "Ahhhhhh, Lord Kid! Lord Kid! Look at me! I'm your fan!"

Conan ran back to his room and saw Kid standing on the balcony with his arm around Hirai.

Upon seeing Conan arrive, Kid unfolded his hang glider. "Goodbye, little detective."

After saying that, he left with Pingqing.

Conan ran to the balcony and watched the two figures leave. He was furious. He was certain that Hirai had secretly made a deal with Kid long ago and was already planning to run away.

Damn it, he actually believed Pingqing's nonsense.

Xiao Lan, who followed behind, looked shocked. "Ping Qing and Kid left together."

Sonoko looked on with a lovesick expression, saying, "I also want to be carried away by Lord Kid."
