Ke Xue: An outlaw, a maniac who sets out to usurp the throne! Chapter 105

Seeing this, Conan didn’t continue to press…

“But you little brat… you didn’t follow us here to ski, did you?”

Sonoko Suzuki raised her chin towards Conan, suspiciously.

Sonoko Suzuki still remembered that Conan’s origins were unknown.

Now, he had appeared in front of her and Jiang Heng many times—

It was hard for Sonoko Suzuki not to suspect what this brat Conan was trying to do…

“Why would I follow you?” Conan’s mouth twitched.

However, if it was about following Jiang Heng, Conan would actually want to!

Unfortunately, it was difficult.

After all, Jiang Heng’s perception seemed to be very, very sharp.

Even if Conan wanted to secretly observe Jiang Heng, he would often be caught by Jiang Heng…- ..

“Who knows what you’re thinking!” Sonoko Suzuki crossed her arms directly.

It was Professor Agasa who awkwardly smoothed things over: “Well—”

“Actually, I brought Conan out to ski, but we had bad luck… we encountered heavy snow blocking the mountain.”

“Forget it, the villa is big enough—” Akira Yonehara waved his hand.

“It’s fine to stay for one night, it’s not good to really leave you in the snow for a night.”

With that, Akira Yonehara got up directly.

“Teacher Sugiyama doesn’t know if he can make it, I’ll go prepare dinner first.”

“I checked earlier, the ingredients and everything are ready…”

“I’ll help too!” Ran Mouri and Akemi Miyano stood up almost at the same time.

“Then I’ll trouble you.” Akira Yonehara nodded.

“There are indeed quite a few people, with your help, it will be easier.”

Akira Yonehara was clearly able to cook, and Ran Mouri and Akemi Miyano’s cooking skills were also good.

In less than an hour, dinner for so many people was ready…

At this time, the wind outside showed no signs of slowing down at all.

“Sigh—it looks like Teacher Sugiyama won’t be able to make it today.”

Kohei Shimoda subconsciously glanced out the window, saying with some regret.

“Yeah, it’s a pity about this big villa that Teacher Sugiyama booked.”

Ryuichi Sakai nodded, agreeing deeply.

Dinner was quite rich, and the cooking skills of Akira Yonehara and the other two were also good…

Perhaps to prevent affecting their appetite, the previous awkward atmosphere had also eased.

However, what everyone didn’t expect was—

As dinner was nearing its end, a sound similar to a knock on the door suddenly rang out.

“Thump—”

The sound was a bit loud, startling a few girls.

“What’s wrong?” Shiho Miyano looked worriedly in the direction of the back door.

Yes… that’s right, this time the sound came from the back door.

“Could it be that Teacher Sugiyama came up the mountain directly through the heavy snow?”

Akira Yonehara subconsciously got up, saying with some hesitation.

Now, the snow outside showed no signs of slowing down at all…

“No matter what, let’s go out and see.” Kohei Shimoda shrugged.

Then, Akira Yonehara led the way towards the back door.

As soon as the door was opened, they saw Teacher Sugiyama with his head bumped against the door frame.

“Teacher Sugiyama? Why are you sitting in the snow? Aren’t you cold!”

Akira Yonehara couldn’t help but frown, subconsciously stepping forward.

However, what everyone didn’t expect was—

As soon as Akira Yonehara’s hand touched Teacher Sugiyama’s shoulder, Teacher Sugiyama’s body, covered in snow on his shoulders and head, instantly tilted sideways and fell to the ground…

At this point, everyone clearly saw Teacher Sugiyama’s condition.

Teacher Sugiyama’s face was purple, and his eyes were wide open.

It looked like he was dead…

“Teacher Sugiyama—” Akira Yonehara’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink.

Conan subconsciously wanted to step forward to examine, but—

After thinking of Jiang Heng next to him, Conan’s footsteps couldn’t help but pause, forcibly suppressing the urge to go forward and examine the body.

However, he couldn’t help but look around the body.

Soon, Conan found something similar to a rubber band on a nearby handrail…

“The person is dead.”

Jiang Heng stepped forward to check Teacher Sugiyama’s pulse, shaking his head slightly.

“Ho… how could this be?” Akira Yonehara said in disbelief.

“Looking at the state of Teacher Sugiyama’s body, he’s been dead for at least an hour.”

Conan didn’t dare to touch Teacher Sugiyama’s body in front of Jiang Heng, but he didn’t forget to observe with his eyes.

From the state of rigor mortis, Teacher Sugiyama had definitely been dead for over an hour… (For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

However, the specific time was difficult to determine.

After all, the weather outside was very cold, which had a great impact on the judgment of the time of death.

“An… an hour?” Kohei Shimoda’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink.

He looked around in disbelief: “Then… who was knocking on the door just now?”

Thinking of the sound just now, Kohei Shimoda couldn’t help but shiver.

The most crucial thing was that on the snow next to Teacher Sugiyama’s body—

There were no footprints left.

Even if those footprints might have been covered by the falling heavy snow.

However, from hearing the knock to everyone coming out, it was only a short while.

No matter how you calculated it, the snow couldn’t have completely covered the footprints…

“No matter what, call the police first.” Jiang Heng shook his head.

Then, everyone went back into the house together.

As for Teacher Sugiyama’s body, it was left by the back door. []

…

This time, there were no problems with the phone lines in the villa.

However, although the alarm call was connected, the police couldn’t come…

Because of the blizzard, the mountain roads were all blocked.

It would be very dangerous to rush here overnight in the wind and snow.

Therefore, the police would not be able to arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Upon learning this news, everyone in the villa couldn’t help but sigh.

“Then… should everyone check the doors and windows of the villa first? At least lock them.”

Akira Yonehara sighed, his gaze fixed on everyone.

“Yes, what if the culprit who killed Teacher Sugiyama is still lurking outside—”

“If they break in again, we’ll be in danger too.” Ryuichi Sakai nodded in deep agreement.

Then, Jiang Heng and the others immediately began to check the villa in pairs.

In addition to locking the doors and windows, they also had to check for any signs of outsiders entering…

“Phew—thank goodness there are no signs of outsiders entering.” Kohei Shimoda couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“I think everyone is tired, why don’t we prepare to rest first?”

Akira Yonehara nodded, suggesting.

“Huh?” Shiho Miyano looked thoughtfully at Akira Yonehara.

At this time… shouldn’t everyone try to stay together as much as possible?

Probably guessing there would be doubts, Akira Yonehara immediately added.

“Just in case, everyone should try to stay in rooms in pairs…”.
