Chapter 338 Conan: Yin Jiu Hasn't Caught Chris Yet
"If you don't want to receive strange gifts from the ghosts of this mountain, you'd better not wander around alone when it snows." Mrs. Yuasa thought for a while after hearing Conan's question, and said something meaningful.
"A strange gift?!" Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran didn't expect that they would hear a supernatural story while making chocolates at the resort, so they immediately stood closer.
"It's chocolate."
Eryuan Jiagui, who was wearing a baseball cap, was a tourist who came earlier. When he saw Yin Jiu and the others, he stepped forward to greet them. "The mountain road is very winding and people often get killed here. The strangest thing is that every year at this time of year, chocolates will suddenly be placed next to the victims."
"Local residents believe that it might be the girls who came here to make chocolates who got lost on the way and died, so they ran out to cause trouble. Some people also say that it is the masterpiece of the snow woman."
"Snow, Snow Girl?!" Mao Lilan was so scared that she squeezed between Yin Jiu and Suzuki Sonoko. When she moved over, she hadn't put down the suitcase in her hand yet, and the handle had been pinched and deformed.
"Don't worry, unscientific things like the Snow Girl will definitely not appear." Yin Jiu accidentally harvested a small wave of indirect emotional points, and took the luggage rod that was almost broken in Mao Lilan's hand soothingly, and began to comfort the two emotion makers.
"The chocolates that appeared beside the victims may have been dropped by the victims because they were searching their backpacks for chocolates in order to replenish their energy."
"Yes, the police also guessed so." Eryuan Jiagui looked at Yin Jiu with appreciation, and then sorted out the equipment on his body, "Okay, I have to go to work too, before it gets dark..."
"You'd better be careful and don't get lost in the woods." The two girls following Eryuan heard the noise outside, packed up their things, and walked to the hall to see them off. "If you get bewitched by the Snow Girl..."
"Don't worry, if the Snow Girl gives me chocolate, I will definitely tell her that I already have a girlfriend named Ako." Eryuan kissed the short-haired girl who was closer to him behind him, then waved and left without looking back.
"Excuse me, what kind of job is that big brother just talking about?" Conan subconsciously thought that everyone who came to the resort at this time was there to make chocolate. He didn't expect that on such a day when the road was blocked by heavy snow, a man would go out alone with a backpack on his back.
"He is a reporter. In order to prove that the matter he is investigating is true, he took a camera to the forest to see if he could capture any relevant evidence." Amariko, Nigaki Yoshiki's girlfriend, bent down and explained to Conan patiently.
Another long-haired girl also half-knelt down, "Yes, I work as a photographer, and I went with him at first. Because he really saw it in the forest..."
"Snow Girl?" Maori Ran trembled.
"How is that possible?" The long-haired girl immediately smiled and shook her head in denial. "He is looking for an animal that actually exists in the world. But if you look at it from the perspective of illusion, it seems to be no different from the Snow Girl."
"Yes, that's the species that has been hunted to almost extinction since 1905 - the Japanese wolf." A middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's hat and holding a shotgun walked into the hall at some point.
"In that case, you still want to hunt them, isn't that not good?" Maori Kogoro obviously saw the hunting rifle on the man's back, and complained with his hands in his pockets.
"This rifle is just to scare them." The middle-aged man explained, subconsciously looking away, "Only in this way will those beasts fall into the trap and it will be easier for us to capture them alive."
"I see." Kogoro Mouri smiled awkwardly.
Yin Jiu and Conan looked over at the same time.
This is not a fake gun. Yin Jiu silently kept in mind the abnormal people carrying weapons.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man on the other end did not stay for long. He booked a twin room and left in a hurry.
Only Mao Lilan and a few others were left in the hall.
"When do we start making chocolate?" Only Suzuki Sonoko did not forget her original intention. While everyone else was paying attention to greeting the residents of the B&B, she took out the materials from the box.
"The kitchen is over here. Today I will teach you how to make chocolate." Gan Liyazi stretched out her hand to indicate the location, then reacted and began to help move the ingredients to the table.
"Huh? Are we the only ones here? I thought there would be a lot of girls coming." Suzuki Sonoko recalled the photos in the magazine and wondered, "And wasn't it taught by Grandma Yuasa herself?"
"It was like this before." Gan Liyako shook her head regretfully, her eyes secretly paying attention to Grandma Yuasa who had already opened the door and was about to go out, and waited for a while.
It wasn't until the door was completely closed that Ayako's voice came over. "But after Grandma Yuasa's husband passed away, she would go to her husband's grave to keep vigil at this time. So the two of us were responsible for teaching tourists how to make chocolate. This is also a way to thank the old lady for taking care of us all the time."
"So that's how it is." Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki didn't really care who would teach.
However, her husband, with whom she had a good relationship, passed away and her business took a sharp turn for the worse. Seeing young girls making chocolates here every year to give to their lovers, it is no wonder that Granny Yuasa had to hide away to commemorate her late husband.
There was more sympathy on both of their faces, and the atmosphere became a little silent.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to make chocolate. Soon several people cut the chocolate into small pieces, then heated and stirred it to fix it into the shape of a heart.
Conan and Kogoro Mouri naturally did not participate in this event. They both sat on the big sofa.
Yin Jiu, on the other hand, was very good at mixing things up, stirring the chocolate with one hand while slowly placing several molds on the chopping board with the other hand.
"Xiaojiu, are you going to make so many chocolates?" Suzuki Sonoko's attention was attracted by Yin Jiu, because each mold used by Yin Jiu was not very large, the largest one was only the size of a thumb.
And the shapes are all kinds of strange, from five-pointed stars to apples, and even bananas.
"Yes, because I have a lot of friends I want to give them as gifts." Yin Jiu nodded and poured the hot chocolate in the spoon into the mold little by little.
Conan heard the noise and came over. Then he saw the largest heart-shaped chocolate among all the strange shapes. He felt something was wrong. "Brother Yin Jiu, who are you going to give this heart-shaped chocolate to?"
"For Chris Wynyard." Yin Jiu raised the corner of his mouth. It would be strange to give this kind of chocolate with special meaning to Gin or Vodka.
That gentleman couldn't do it either, as he had never seen the other person's true face, and this seemed a bit hasty.
And by sending the present Shirley, he is suspected of being a pedophile.
Vermouth is just right, and she can also confuse other people. I believe Vermouth will understand his hint when she receives the chocolate.
Yin Jiu, who felt that he had made all the arrangements, happily poured the chocolate into the heart-shaped mold, clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly that the FBI would take the bait as soon as possible.
Conan saw Yin Jiu was so happy, but he couldn't bear to look at her and turned his gaze away.
The more he observed, the more he felt that the relationship between Yin Jiu and Chris Wynyard was unusual and did not seem to be a spur of the moment event.
But Chrissie Wynyard is the organizer!
Conan was so worried that his hair turned white.
After listening to Yin Jiu's words, Suzuki Sonoko saw the only heart-shaped chocolate on Yin Jiu's desk, and her gossiping eyes almost turned into crescents. "Xiao Jiu, are you and Chris in love? But in Japan's Chocolate Festival in March, girls make chocolates for boys, and boys wait until April to return the favor."
"But... if two people can be together in the end, then why does it matter who takes the first step?" Yin Jiu did not directly answer Suzuki Sonoko's words, but carefully poured out a few more shapes.
Conan behind him immediately understood what was said and had a complicated look in his eyes.
Is this the one that Yin Jiu hasn’t caught up with yet?
Playing with the feelings of underage high school students is something that organization would do.
