Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Minowa Shohei paused for a moment, then continued, "The person who passed away was a stuntman who was a good friend of mine. I was actually there at the time."

"Wait a minute, Minowa." A helpless voice came from the side.

When Minowa Shohei turned around, he saw it was the director and called out, "Director Oyama!"

Director Oyama said helplessly, "It's best not to let too many people know about the passing of Jiro Mizukami."

“What are you saying…” Minowa Shohei approached his director with a smile: “Don’t you yourself make movies based on your dead friends?”

“Hey, hey…” Director Dashan’s eyes widened: “You’re not right to say that. I made this film to commemorate him.”

As the words fell, a young male voice followed: "What's wrong with that? People who have passed away can't come back to settle scores with us. As long as we write 'Dedicated to Jiro Mizukami' at the end of the film, we might be able to evoke some tears from the audience. If the movie is a big hit, that would be even better. Let's make this film with gratitude towards Mizukami-senpai!"

"Sanbao!!" Director Dashan frowned, and his voice involuntarily rose a little, but it was filled with more helplessness.

Sanbao shrugged and decisively shut his mouth.

"In short, Sanbao, you need to be careful. Don't forget that you have to take over the stunt double job for the deceased water character. And remember not to be tempted by the Snow Woman." It was a woman's voice. The group turned around and saw a mature woman with short hair.

Miho looked at the woman in front of him and said with a wry smile, "Yes, yes, Miss Tateishi, you are right."

Director Oyama said wistfully, "Even now, I still don't understand why someone would abandon such a beautiful fiancée like you on the water and end their own life..."

“Who knows…” Li Shi murmured, a look of pain and desolation flashing in his eyes.

"Because that wasn't suicide, it was murder. He was killed by one of you and then made to look like a suicide."

The sudden words startled the group.

Then they saw a man with a cigarette in his mouth, a full beard, wearing a coat and a hat, standing next to them.

Sanbao Rourou frowned and said, "It's you again, Detective Pianpin."

Minowa Shohei said calmly, "No, it seems he has already resigned."

Pianpin looked at everyone and said, "Yes, it's because I got too involved in this case in another county that I was fired. Now I'm just a junior detective."

Minowa Shohei tugged at his collar, turned and walked away without looking back, saying, "It's so cold, we should go eat hot pot. You guys keep chatting. Goodbye, friend..."

Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori, who heard this from a distance, were taken aback.

Because of that last sentence, I always felt like it had a strange meaning.

Chapter 0045: The Professional Chef's Nose

Just when everyone thought the topic was over.

The detective ignored Minowa Shohei's departure and continued speaking:

"Four years ago, a man sitting alone on the ski lift at this ski resort was found dead on the spot after being shot in the head while descending the mountain. He was holding a gun in his right hand, and there was still gunpowder residue on his hand. To most people, it would seem like a suicide by gunshot. But there was one suspicious point: the bag next to him was filled with snow when opened..."

Director Oyama sighed, "So it was something he put in himself based on the legend of the Snow Woman that circulates on this mountain."

“How could that be!” Pianpin retorted immediately: “I’ve known that guy since I was a child. He has never been interested in those kinds of ghost stories. Besides, even if he put it there himself, only he knows what he meant by doing so. It couldn’t be some nonsense snow woman legend.”

Miho said calmly, "But if this is really a murder case, it seems that no one could have done it this way. If someone really killed Mizukami-senpai, then it can only be the Yuki-onna in this snow mountain."

"Don't be silly!!" x2

Two voices rang out in unison, causing Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori to exchange a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

The people around them looked at the two teenagers with surprise, wondering why they were reacting so strongly.

Shinichi Kudo thought for a moment and nodded to Heiji Hattori.

Hattori Heiji understood and continued, "It's because it's done by a human that it's a crime. Besides, many bizarre methods are just smoke and mirrors. Idiot!"

Pian Pin glanced at the two boys with approval, shook his head with a smile, and turned to leave the cafeteria.

Director Dashan and the others smiled together, and left the cafeteria with heavy thoughts on their minds.

the other side.

Shiraishi Osamu's table.

Junhui smiled gently and said, "Heye, your childhood friend is really interesting."

Ayako smiled and said, "Yes, he's a pretty nice guy."

Kazuha blushed with embarrassment: "Stop teasing me. That's just how he is. Sometimes he says silly things."

Sonoko said in a serious tone, "Actually, I think it's okay, it's just a little too chuunibyou."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan desperately covered her mouth, struggling to hold it in.

Kazuha became even more embarrassed and secretly glanced at Shiraishi Osamu beside her. When she found that he was also looking at her, she immediately turned her head away.

Shiraishi Osamu said nonchalantly, "You don't need to worry, I won't make fun of you, because I have a high threshold for laughter."

"Hahaha..." x4

Upon hearing his words, the four girls could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, while Kazuha lowered her head.

Shiraishi Osamu touched his chin, puzzled. He seemed to have said nothing wrong. What were they laughing at? It was really strange.

After lunch.

After resting for a while.

It was already 2 p.m.

On the ski slope, they came to the slope near the cable car control room because there was a small slope there that was just right for Shiraishi to practice skiing.

With a pained expression, Shiraishi Osamu asked, "Is there really no one left who is willing to teach me anymore?"

Xiao Lan and the others all shook their heads.

Shiraishi Osamu's learning ability had already left them helpless, and they were afraid of being hugged and rolled around in a ball again, which was really embarrassing.

Sonoko really wanted to do that, after all, it would be fun to be hugged and rolled around in the snow with a handsome guy, but unfortunately there were too many people around, and her older sister was also there, so she didn't dare to be so unrestrained.

Kazuha sat on the steps below the cable car control room and shouted to Shiraishi Osamu, "Osamu, do your best! You can do it!"

"it is good."

Shiraishi Xiu responded, took a deep breath, and was just about to paddle down the small slope when suddenly a figure flashed before his eyes and rushed out, then stopped a short distance away.

Shiraishi Osamu's hard-won courage dissipated again. He glanced at the figure from before with annoyance and realized it was the stuntman, Miho.

The other person was panting and had a little sweat on their face, indicating that they had exerted themselves quite vigorously when they slid down.

"I'm not playing anymore, you guys play!"

Shiraishi Osamu said something to Ran and the others, then walked over and sat down next to Kazuha, chatting with her.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

The sky overhead darkened.

A blizzard arrived shortly afterward.

Shiraishi and the others had no choice but to hide together in the cable car's control room.

"Huff..." Sonoko gasped for breath, looking at the heavy snow and dark sky outside, and said helplessly, "We're doomed. I don't know how long it'll keep snowing, or how much longer we'll have to wait here."

Ayako comforted her, "It's okay, it's fine here. We can take shelter from this heavy snow."

The words had just fallen.

The door to the control room was pushed open, and a group of Taoist figures rushed in in a disheveled state.

They are Director Ichiyama, Mr. Miho, Ms. Tateishi, Detective Katahama, Shinichi Kudo, Heiji Hattori...

"saved!"

"Excuse me, let's hide together for a bit."

"Sorry to bother you, sorry to bother you."

Shiraishi and the others didn't say anything. Anyway, the space was quite spacious, and more importantly, it wasn't their place.

Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori saw Osamu Shiraishi and the others, hesitated for a moment, and then came over.

"Heiji, I didn't expect you to be skiing around here too."

"Shinichi, where's Auntie?"

"Hmm." Hattori Heiji simply responded to Kazuha's words.

Shinichi Kudo said to Ran, "They're probably up there. I just came down skiing; I didn't expect it to snow so heavily."

Shiraishi Osamu glanced at the group of people, then suddenly couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, sniffed lightly, and looked at Mr. Miho's hand.

He possesses the skills of a professional chef and is extremely professional in the field of cooking.

At that moment, he could smell the fishy smell on Sanbao's hands and the hot pot smell on his body. Most importantly, the smell seemed to be coming from inside the thick clothes on his right hand, which puzzled him.

Although the smell was practically undetectable, for someone with his professional culinary skills, the aromas of these dishes were crystal clear to him.

He also noticed a small cut on the other person's right index finger.

Miho seemed to notice Shiraishi Osamu's gaze, but without paying any attention, he calmly raised his hand, blew on it, and then put on gloves.

Chapter 0046: Methods for Judging Ingredients

The blizzard didn't last long.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the gloomy sky had disappeared and returned to a clear sky. The ski slopes were covered with another layer of snow, making them even more pleasing to the eye.

Shiraishi and the others walked out of the cable car control room one by one, taking a deep breath of the somewhat cold air, and at the same time, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If it snows all day long, they don't know how long they'll be stuck here.

And at this time—

Screams erupted from the accommodation area above the ski slope, and soon it became noisy.

"Something's happened!!" x2

Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori shouted in unison and rushed toward the cable car in the distance.

"new……"

"flat"

Xiaolan and He Ye tried to call out to each other, but the two had already boarded the cable car and didn't even glance at them.

A hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the two girls, but they quickly regained their composure and put on forced smiles.
