The hotel is located at the top of the slope at the end of the town, behind which are the snow capped mountains. It is quite famous in the nearby area and has been used as the stage of the reasoning activity "mysterious night" all the year round.

This year's "mysterious night" is more popular because of the participation of famous troupes, and reasoning fans all over the country are quite concerned.

Gao Cheng followed the garden into the magnificent hotel hall. When he opened the door, he heard a sound of Christmas bells.

Different from the cold snow outside, the hotel is especially lively, with many strange looking people gathered everywhere.

Diviners, psychics... And a lot of guys in deer hats and Sherlock Holmes.

The messy dress almost made people think they were at the masquerade party.

"That's great," said the garden pleasantly, "isn't that fat man dressed as a detective bolo? Even Sherlock Holmes has several costumes

"Is this Halloween or Christmas..."

Gao Cheng muttered to himself, but it caused the laughter of a teenager nearby.

"We are all guests of the mysterious night tonight," said Chao Gaocheng, wearing a black student uniform. "My name is Kojiro Sakata. I'm a detective from a high school student. Are you also the reasoning fans of the mysterious night? That's good. I thought all the participants were uncles this time. "

"Hello."

Gao Cheng glances at them. Indeed, only a few of them are of the same age in the hall.

Most of the people who will come all the way to participate in this reasoning activity at Christmas are rich and idle.

He and Yuanzi are special cases

"I happened to be back in Hokkaido, so I came to the mysterious night by the way," Kojiro Sakata said with a smile in front of Gao Cheng's puzzled eyes. "You two are not local, are you?"

"No, we're from Tokyo."

"I can see that although I have been studying abroad for a long time and have not been to Tokyo, many of my classmates are from Tokyo."

Sakata Kojiro is quite familiar with himself. He seems to see something he is interested in. He pats Takagi on the shoulder and leaves.

"Well, I'll see you in the evening when the mystery play is on."

"Strange guy..."

Gao Cheng shakes his head and goes to the front desk with Yuanzi.

There are still many people checking in. It took them a long time to line up. The room is 215 on the second floor. It's a double room.

"Is the third floor full?"

"Yes," the front desk staff nodded, "the third floor is full of police and troupe staff, and the only special room is also reserved by the young man just now..."

"The police?"

Gao Cheng frowned slightly.

How could there be a policeman here

"Don't worry too much," the front desk staff explained with a smile. "There was no case, just normal check-in."

"Oh..."

Gao Cheng takes the room card and Yu Guang looks at the stairs in the hall.

Two uniformed policemen are reporting something to a man with glasses.

It's the woman I met on the road before!

Gao Cheng looks at the old woman in surprise and vaguely hears the appellation of "police inspection".

Looking at a very general man, it seems that the identity of a woman is not small.

"Ann," Yuan Zi pulled up his sleeve, "it should be just the police who came to participate in the mysterious night. Ah Cheng, don't think too much about it. How could there be another homicide?"

Gao Cheng's identity is destined to be more sensitive than others.

Moreover, being involved in a homicide case is not a joke. Maybe he will be targeted by the murderer and his life will be in danger.

"Why?" Gao Cheng suddenly responds, "do we share a room?"

"I can't help it," the garden said cunningly. "There are too many people living in this room. Now I'm lucky enough to get the place."

"Is it that popular?"

Gao Cheng still doesn't quite understand. The room price is not cheap these days. Besides, the tickets for the performance are also an expense. There are also many other expenses such as travel and meals

"Of course," Yuanzi said triumphantly, "aprodi is a popular theater company now, but their tickets are hard to get! And this is their first time to participate in "murder night". Don't you know anything about ah Cheng? "

"I don't like theater performances."

Gao Cheng's mind goes back a long time ago to the murder in an opera house on an island.

That's probably the only stage play he's ever seen, and it's just a rehearsal

"Here is Room 215," the waiter told Gao Cheng, who took Gao Cheng to find the room. "In order to guard against theft, the data of all rooms will be updated every night at 12 o'clock, so remember to go to the front desk to replace the room card after 12 o'clock."

"All right."

The garden opens the door with a room card. The room is not very big. The right side of the door is the bathroom and toilet, and the left side is the desk cabinet. There is a TV in it. Beside the window are the bedside cabinet and telephone. Then there is a double bed and a pair of tables and chairs.

"Eh?" Yuan Zi's face turned red and said, "there's only one bed... Isn't a double room a double room?"“ Look, it doesn't look like it. " Gao Cheng's heart rate is accelerating. Tonight... Tokyo, racecourse. As the horse raced, the whole race hall was full of Shouts. The audience held up the coupons and screamed for their favorite horses. At last, they all stood up and looked ferocious. They wanted to run to the race hall to fight instead of the horse race. There is a unique figure in this group, shouting harder than others, holding a special horse racing newspaper in his hand, staring at his bloodshot eyes, his neck is blue, and he is still sweating in such a cold day“ Go! Surpass them“ Hurry up Conan covered his ears and shrunk on the seat to remind the gaffed Maori Kogoro: "you can't bet on the next game, uncle! If you spend all your money, sister LAN will scold me! " The dead old man can't save money at all. The commission fee he earns can't hold up for half a day, and his alimony has already been spent by the old man. I don't know. When I get paid for my job, I come here to gamble on horses. Thinking of Xiao Lan's advice, Conan sighs to himself“ I'm so wordy! I know! " Kogoro Maori was engrossed in his bet on the horse. At present, he still keeps the leading edge, and his vision is really good... "Here, here! Keep going Under Maori's excited gaze, the back No. 8 Racer suddenly began to sprint, gradually surpassing No. 2, and finally overtaking No. 1 to complete the counter attack“ Eh? no Again Maori put down his hands in a daze. Every time he bets on the back horse, the leading horse will win. He bets on the back horse, and the leading horse will win. How can there be such an evil thing“ All right, uncle, "Conan said," let's go back. "“ It's too early to go back now! " Maori said angrily, "either put the rest of the money into it, or spend money on wine... You help me choose one!" " Conan's eyelids are sinking. This old man is hopeless... "Uncle, do you forget how you swore in Singapore? It's just the past few days... "" well, of course I know. " Maori Kogoro is a bit frustrated. He admits that he can't do it... "What about the kid in Chenghu?" "When I passed by today, it seemed that his office was not open," he said“ Brother Chenghu has gone to Hokkaido. It seems that he is going to attend a gathering of reasoning fans. " Conan was not surprised. He thought Gao Cheng had gone out temporarily to avoid trouble“ How about going to a mystery party in winter“ I'm not sure. That's what sister Xiaolan said Maori Kogoro didn't know what to ask from Conan, so he had to make up his mind. Go to Hokkaido in addition to skiing is hot spring, no, maybe there are beautiful and charming ladies... "Really, there is such a good thing, actually don't tell us." Maori murmured. If he had gone to Hokkaido, he would not have lost money just now
