In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

Xia Yan spread out the mental energy that was originally wrapped around his body in a circular shape. In an instant, the scene of the area covered by the mental energy appeared in his mind.

Although due to his proficiency and basic problems, the coverage of the circle he used was not even comparable to the forty or fifty meters of a first-rate Nen user.

The circle he used was less than three meters in diameter and was extremely unstable, but it was enough to sense what Yoko Asanuma was doing in the house through a wall.

You can see that Yoko Asanuma is unzipping her collar and taking off her top. She is now inserting her thumbs into the slits of her ski suit pants, bending down, and pulling her pants down... uh.

Although the scene perceived by telekinesis is more like a radar scan, it only shows the 3D outline of objects and human bodies, and cannot see more detailed pictures.

But Miss Asanuma's movements of taking off her clothes one by one and the outline of her slender body curves were clearly visible to Xia Yan. That elusive feeling was even more tempting than seeing it directly.

Naturally, Xia Yan had no interest in Miss Asanuma, but he suddenly discovered that he seemed to be able to use this ability to see snow...

"collapse!"

"What's wrong?" For a moment, even Xue No, the newbie transcendent, could feel the sudden fluctuation of Xia Yan's aura at this moment.

Then she quickly leaned close to Xia Yan's ear, lowered her voice, and asked in a low voice almost biting his ear.

"No, nothing...Okay, I admit, I have a dirty mind."

Xia Yan, whose circle collapsed due to lack of concentration, couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his face with a little shame, but he still reopened the circle and continued to pay attention to the situation in the house.

This time, I finally saw a serious situation.

Miss Asanuma jumped onto a dry persimmon tree outside the window, and then climbed up to the roof with her nimble body.

What happened after that was too far away to be seen due to Xia Yanyuan's coverage, but...

Xia Yan felt that Miss Asanuma's situation seemed a little different from what he had imagined. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to wait and see what she was going to do next.

After a while.

Xia Yan saw as he wished what Asanuma Yoko was planning to do.

Because at this time, Miss "Kinoshita Akiko" wearing a little blue dress also returned to the hotel.

"Cough cough~"

She was also wearing a blue windshield and goggles, and her face couldn't be seen at all. She coughed twice, then asked the Maori family in the living room with a slightly hoarse voice, "Everyone, have you seen Yoko come back?"

"She just came back too, and should be in the room now."

As soon as Xiaolan finished her answer, Kinoshita Akiko nodded to express her gratitude, then covered her mouth and prepared to leave... and then she ran into Xia Yan and the other person in the corridor.

At this time, Xia Yan looked at the "little blue man" in front of him with a little speechlessness.

Not to mention what he just sensed with the circle, if he couldn't realize face to face that the Miss Asanuma just now and the current "Akiko Kinoshita" were the same person, then his perception ability could really be used to feed dogs.

Miss Asanuma is the stand-in for the female star Akiko Kinoshita. The two have similar body shapes, and after spending a long time together, she should be able to imitate her voice pretty well. In addition, she is now pretending to have a cold and cough, so naturally no one would suspect that she is playing two roles.

Just now, Miss Asanuma was in the room. She must have changed into Akiko Kinoshita's ski suit and mask, climbed onto the roof, made a circle, and then returned to the hotel, pretending that Akiko Kinoshita had just returned.

And the reason why she went to so much trouble to do this was probably because...

"Ms. Asanuma, could it be that you've already killed Akiko Kinoshita and are planning to disguise her suicide and then return disguised as her to obfuscate the time of her death and create an alibi for yourself?"

Xia Yan recalled Miss Asanuma's previous remarks about "Kinoshita Akiko being unwell", and then looked at a short and fat man who rushed out of the living room in a hurry after hearing their conversation.

He finally realized that this "weird Miss Asanuma" might have nothing to do with the Snow Woman at all, but was simply because of the power of a certain elementary school student who was a god of death, which made her want to kill someone.

Xia Yan has watched 1000 episodes of Conan, but he doesn't have a good memory to remember all the cases. However, he can still infer based on Conan's criminal experience:

almond flavor, cyanide;

Fishing line, murder in a closed room;

Whoever the murderer is, he must be either handsome or pretty;

Death by suicide is definitely homicide;

Fake alibi, the murderer must be him/her;

The least suspicious one, so the murderer must be him/her...

He picked out a few similar experiences and shared them, and the result was -

"You! What are you talking about all of a sudden? Something about suicide? I can't understand what you're saying at all!"

After a moment of panic after hearing this, Miss Asanuma wanted to forcefully push away Xia Yan's blocking body and leave here quickly before saying: "Get out of the way! I'm feeling a little unwell and I don't feel like wasting time with you here!"

"Feel the same."

Xia Yan naturally would not be pushed away by her "weak and powerless" hand. He didn't even have the mood to waste words with her. He took off her hood at a speed that she couldn't react at all.

Then she cried out "Ah!" and wanted to raise her hands to cover her face at the figure with short hair that fell past her shoulders.

Xia Yan gave a calm conclusion: "What a farce!"

Chapter 111: Three years of killing and five years of simulation, the plan collapsed at the beginning

"It's really Miss Asanuma!"

Hearing the quarrel between Xia Yan and the others, Uncle Maori ran out from the living room and asked Asanuma Yoko: "Where is Miss Akiko? Why did you disguise yourself as her? Where is she now? Did you really kill her?!"

"Say something, Miss Asanuma!"

Xia Yan looked at Yoko Asanuma, who was sitting on the ground in a duck-like position but still subconsciously half-covering her face. He didn't think that she was going to fight to the death.

Looking at her dazed expression, it was more like, "Three years of killing and five years of simulations, and the plan completely collapsed right at the start and was violently exposed. What should I do? Waiting online, urgent!"

——That is to say, she might not have reacted to this sudden change of situation for a while.

"Snow Girl..."

Just as Uncle Maori began to shake Asanuma Yoko's shoulders violently, trying to get her to tell him the whereabouts of Kinoshita Akiko, Conan, who was standing next to him, lowered his head, his glasses reflecting the light, and suddenly muttered to himself:

"If Ms. Asanuma really intended to disguise Kinoshita Akiko's suicide and disguise herself as her to confuse the time of death, then she might not have killed Kinoshita Akiko directly!"

"Firstly, killing someone yourself might leave flaws and traces. Secondly, even though it's winter and snowy, doing so could still lead to a significant deviation in the time of death, which would raise unnecessary suspicions with the police."

After finishing his reasoning, Conan immediately turned his head and looked at Xiaolan beside him anxiously, "Sister Xiaolan, if the snow woman you saw yesterday was Miss Asanuma preparing for the crime, then that place might be her pre-planned crime scene. We should hurry over and search, maybe we can save Miss Kinoshita Akiko!"

"Yes, that's right, I thought so too!"

"I'll call the police right away!"

The Mori father and daughter agreed and took action one after another, and when Asanuma Yoko heard this, she seemed to finally react and her face turned pale.

Then there was another round of chaos. After the local police arrived, Uncle Maori temporarily took over the command of the scene with his prestige as a famous detective and used this hotel as a temporary base.

A group of police officers were responsible for organizing some villagers who were willing to help and went to the place mentioned by Detective Mori (Conan) to search for the trace of Kinoshita Akiko;

Another group of police officers kept Yoko Asanuma under guard while searching her room to see if they could find more clues or evidence of her crime.

Soon, in the room where Yoko Asanuma was guarding, a patrolman wearing a black police uniform and an extra coat on the outside, came into the room excitedly, almost rushing into the room with a letter with the word "suicide note" written on the cover.

At the same time, his excited and high-pitched voice rang out: "Detective Maori, we found a new clue!"

"Let me see!"

"I don't want to be plagued by illness like my father and eventually die of pneumonia. I will end my life like the Snow Woman—that's roughly what I meant. However, now that there is a strong suspicion of homicide, we should consider the possibility that this suicide note was forged."

Uncle Maori quickly scanned the contents of the suicide note, then patted it with the back of his hand. He sternly questioned Asanuma Yoko, who was sitting alone in a wooden chair in the nearly empty room. "After all, it's not difficult for someone familiar with the handwriting to imitate it. Miss Asanuma, do you have anything to say about this?"

“…Plop! I’m so sorry!”

Yoko Asanuma suddenly fell to her knees with her hands covering her face, and her movements were so violent that she even knocked over the chair behind her.

Just when Xia Yan thought she was about to start the traditional art of Conan's criminals: crying, kneeling, and then confessing, she said, "In fact, I already knew that Mingzi was going to commit suicide. She asked me to help her complete this suicide ritual similar to the snow woman's withering, so that her departure would be more meaningful!"

"That's why I came back disguised as her. It was to reveal the truth to the media afterwards, so that the world could remember [Kinoshita Akiko], the once-famous snow-woman star, through her glorious departure. I'm truly sorry for causing you all any trouble!"

"...Are you kidding me?! Do you think we're all fools?!"

After a brief silence at the scene, not only did Uncle Maori roar angrily, but even Xia Yan couldn't help but frowned.

It was obvious that after some time, Yoko Asanuma had finally recovered from her brain crash. Then, probably as a last resort, she made up a reason to try to exonerate herself.

After all, one planned to kill someone, and the other helped someone commit suicide, which is not even considered incitement. Just thinking about the difference in sentencing between the two can be seen.

And no matter how ridiculous Asanuma Yoko's reasons were, the biggest problem now was that there was no evidence to dispel her lies. Even if they wanted to find evidence, everything would have to wait until they found Kinoshita Akiko's whereabouts, but by then...

I’m afraid Akiko Kinoshita can even sing a song called “Liang Liang”.

"Onie-san (sister), since you said you were helping Sister Akiko commit suicide, then you must also know where she committed suicide, right?"

While the people in the room were still thinking about how to expose Yoko Asanuma's lies, Conan had quietly approached Yoko Asanuma, showing a cute and smiling face, and continued to speak along with her words.

This also made Xia Yan's eyes involuntarily stare at the short figure in front of him - that's right, the most important thing now is not how to prove Asanuma Yoko's guilt, but to try to save Kinoshita Akiko's life.

No matter what, human life is the most important thing, which is indeed the style of detectives like Conan.

Just as Xia Yan nodded in approval, Asanuma Yoko did not respond to Conan's expectations. She avoided Conan's gaze and said, "I'm sorry, Akiko didn't tell me where she committed suicide."

Faced with Yoko Asanuma's stubborn resistance, even Conan had no good solution for a while.

The scene was at a stalemate. At this moment, Xue No, who had been watching calmly and also thinking of a solution, suddenly frowned and then pulled the corner of Xia Yan's clothes.

After Xia Yan turned slightly sideways in confusion and moved closer to her, she leaned close to Xia Yan's ear as usual and whispered something that made his eyes light up.

……

……

Finally, when they found Akiko Kinoshita, it was already early in the morning.

The county criminal police arrived at the scene early the next morning.

Generally speaking, if the human body is hypothermic for more than three hours, it will lose its vital signs.

Considering Akiko Kinoshita's condition and clothing, as well as the current temperature and snowy weather, this survival time may be much shorter.

“So I’ll just state my conclusion first…”

Chapter 112 Conan: How can there be a snow woman in this world?

"Let me state the conclusion first."

Officer Kawada, who led the team from the county, brought several people related to the incident, along with the murderer Yoko Asanuma, to the crime scene, which was also the place where Akiko Kinoshita was found - a coniferous forest with branches and leaves covered with white snow.

By this time, the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed and the snow had stopped falling.

In this snowy forest, the police officer flipped through his notes and said solemnly, "After a period of emergency treatment, Ms. Kinoshita Akiko is no longer in danger of death and will likely have no sequelae. She is just in a coma for the time being."

"How can this be!"

As soon as Officer Kawada finished his conclusion, Asanuma Yoko couldn't help but scream, but she quickly realized, "No, I mean..."

Just after she looked around and talked about other things for two seconds, her body suddenly stiffened and her shoulders drooped.

She obviously realized that as long as Akiko Kinoshita woke up and came to correct her in person, then whether she tricked Akiko into drinking a drink with sleeping pills or she forged the suicide note, it would become decisive evidence, and no matter how much she argued, she would probably have little chance of getting away with it.

But in the end, Asanuma Yoko looked at the police officer in front of her, but she still had some hope, or perhaps she still had a bit of a fluke mentality that "Akiko is actually dead, and the police officer is just trying to trick me into confessing." She asked: "Can I ask how Akiko survived?"

"Well, about that..."

Hearing this question, Officer Kawada looked a little embarrassed for a moment. Then he rubbed his hat with the pen in his hand, looking a little troubled. "To be honest, we don't know what's going on."

"Let me first describe the specific situation when we found Ms. Kinoshita Akiko. First, her body was lying in a snow pit that was clearly dug by humans, and it was probably snowing at the time."

Officer Kawada flipped through his handbook and read the report. "So, we speculate that Miss Asanuma intended to have Kinoshita Akiko, who had taken the sleeping pills and was completely unconscious, buried in the falling snow, where she would gradually freeze to death, thus faking it as suicide. This is likely the method of death mentioned in Miss Asanuma's forged suicide note: 'End your life like a snow woman.'"

"Buried in the snow? That makes her look like a snow woman."

Uncle Maori and others present nodded when they heard this, indicating that the situations did correspond one by one.

"Secondly, when we found Akiko Kinoshita..."

Officer Kawada then continued, looking up at Asanuma Yoko. "I saw that a layer of ice and snow, like an oval-shaped snow house, had been erected above the snow pit where she lay. This is probably how she survived. I don't think you were so kind as to build her a snow house specifically to protect her from the wind and snow and keep her warm, right?"
