After the matter was settled, everything was fine.
Yuanzi blushed and gave the chocolate to Jing Jizhen. Jing Jizhen accepted it with embarrassment. The matter had come to an end.
But Jing Jizhen obviously had something to say to Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, have you also practiced martial arts?"
Jing Jizhen stared at Fangzheng with a serious expression. Although he already knew that Fangzheng was just praising him, the problem … was obviously not that.
"More or less, more or less. I know a little bit, a little bit."
Fangzheng took a sip of water and replied with a smile. Jing Jizhen looked at him.
"With all due respect, you just said during the fight that karate is flashy but not practical … I really can't agree with that."
"Huh? Mr. Fangzheng said such a thing? "
Upon hearing this, Xiaolan was alarmed as well. However, Fangzheng shrugged.
"That's the truth. As far as martial arts practitioners are concerned, karate is indeed flashy but not practical. It focuses on momentum and not strength. Frankly speaking, both you and Lan are mainly facing some weaklings who don't even have the strength to truss a chicken, or those who only know some basic martial arts. When you really meet someone who knows martial arts, it's just like this...."
As he said that, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and looked at Jing Jizhen with a smile.
"I can knock you down with one hand."
"…"
Jing Jizhen could not help but fall silent when he heard Fangzheng's words. Indeed, as Fangzheng said, he had used all his strength just now. And because of Fangzheng's "performance", Jing Jizhen was really angry at that time. He was many times wilder than when he was in the ring, but he was still fooled by Fangzheng. Even now, his face was swollen, but not a single hair of Fangzheng was hurt. This was enough to explain the problem.
"But no matter what, you shouldn't have beaten Zhen like this."
Yuanzi spoke up for her husband. This guy forgot his friends when he was in love.
"I didn't hit him."
Fangzheng raised his hands.
"I used a move called Revolving Star Transposition. Simply put, it's giving him a taste of his own medicine. No matter how much strength he used to hit me, I returned it all to him. That's why I didn't beat him up like this. He beat himself up like this. "
"Is there such a move?!"
Xiao Lan and Conan were both shocked to hear this.
"Of course, but with the quality of the two of you, it's enough if it's just for competitions and seeing injustice. I don't expect the murderer you'll meet along the way to be a peerless expert, so you don't have to be so nervous. "
"But I still can't beat you, right?"
Jing Jizhen stared at Fangzheng, and the latter laughed.
Nothing needed to be said.
Just as Jing Jizhen was about to say something, there was a knock on the door. Lan opened the door, and two women in coats walked in.
"Sorry, did you see Eryuan?"
"What happened to him?"
If Fangzheng remembered correctly, the Eryuan they were talking about was the photographer they met at the entrance of the hotel before. He said he was going to take a picture of Yuki Onna. The two women were the photographer's friends. They were also the ones who taught Lan and the others how to make chocolate.
"He hasn't come back."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, the short-haired woman answered uneasily.
"We saw that it was starting to snow, so we planned to look for him, but we couldn't find him. Now the snow is getting heavier …"
Hearing this, everyone looked out the window, only to find that the sky had gradually darkened, and there was a blizzard outside.
"Then let's go out and look for him."
Fangzheng stood up and quickly made a decision. The others also nodded, so everyone quickly got up and left the hotel, walking into the depths of the forest.
As for Fangzheng, he walked behind and stroked Conan's head.
"I think I won."
"What are you talking about?"
Hearing Fangzheng's sudden words, Conan was also taken aback.
"When the woman said that she couldn't find her boyfriend, although she was very anxious, she was very calm. She didn't show any nervousness or anxiety after the person she loved disappeared."
Speaking of this, Fangzheng sneered and looked at the short-haired woman who Fangzheng was calling her boyfriend's name.
"Usually, in this case, either she doesn't love the other party at all, or she knows where the other party is. You know very well that if a person knows the answer deep in her heart but pretends not to know, her behavior will be very contradictory. Next, we just need to find that person and see if he's cold or warm, then we'll be able to come to a conclusion. "
"So you mean …" Conan's face darkened slightly.
Hearing this, Conan's face sank slightly. He was not stupid. He naturally understood the meaning behind Fangzheng's words. If the cameraman's girlfriend knew where the cameraman was but pretended not to know and brought them out to look for him, then there was only one possibility ….
"That's why I said that I'll die if I come out with you, but you don't believe me."
"I …"
Conan almost fainted from anger.
If I wasn't a child, I would fight you right now … I don't think I can win!
I'm so angry!
In the end, they found the cameraman's body under a tree and a blood-stained wooden stick beside him. The truth was clear – this was a murder!
What was even more frightening was that there was a piece of chocolate on the corpse's leg, which they had made in the kitchen before!
In any case, they quickly chose to call the police, but … soon, news came from the foot of the mountain that there was an avalanche below, and the police could not go up the mountain for the time being, so they had to return to the hotel. Not only that, but they also guessed that with such heavy snow, it was unlikely that the criminal would continue to hide in the deep forest in this snowstorm. This meant that the criminal was most likely among them!
After returning to the hotel, they had no other choice. In the end, Lan and the long-haired woman went to wash the photos in Mr. Eryuan's camera to see if they could find any clues from them, while Fangzheng took Conan and the others to watch the videotapes they shot yesterday to see if they could find any clues.
In the end, after going through all four tapes, they did not find any clues. Instead, Lan, who was developing the photos, made a discovery. On the last negative of the camera, there was a photo stained with blood. The sky in the photo was still bright, so everyone concluded that the photographer had died before it started snowing.
After that, Conan and Lan stayed in the hall to continue watching the videotapes for clues, while Fangzheng looked a little bored, and Jing Jizhen stayed by Yuanzi's side. But at this moment … … …..
"Ahhh!"
Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream rang out. Hearing this scream, everyone was shocked. They hurriedly left the living room and ran towards the source of the scream. Then, they saw the short-haired woman and the long-haired woman standing at the door of their room in shock. They were dumbfounded as they looked into the room.
"What happened?"
Fangzheng walked over and asked. When she saw Fangzheng, the long-haired woman also hurriedly pointed to the room angrily.
"Come and be the judge! These two ran into someone else's room. I don't know what they're looking for! "
"What?"
Everyone looked up and found that there were two men in the short-haired woman's room. These two men were two hunters who had just arrived at the hotel today. Fangzheng and the others had met one of them when they were looking for the cameraman. Before returning to the hotel, they met up with the other person, so they had a little impression of these two people.
At this moment, they were also quite flustered in the room. Seeing the appearance of the crowd, the short and fat man also hurriedly raised his hand.
"We just want to find out if there are any clues that can solve the case …"
"Yes, yes."
The other tall man also nodded hurriedly.
"We didn't take anything."
As they spoke, the two walked towards the door, intending to slip away. But when they reached the door, Fangzheng blocked their way.
"Okay, you two. Breaking into someone else's room is suspected of theft. You've already broken the law. Give me your hands."
"What?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the two men's expressions suddenly changed.
"You're not a police officer. We just want to solve the case."
"Sorry, I really am."
Fangzheng silently took out his ID and waved it in front of the two men.
"I'm Fangzheng, a special consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department. Okay, you two, I'm now arresting you on suspicion of illegal intrusion and theft. Give me your hands."
"Woo …"
Seeing Fangzheng's ID, the two men's expressions changed slightly, then they obediently stretched out their hands. Then, Fangzheng took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed the two men.
"Granny, please prepare two empty rooms. I want to interrogate them separately."
"Understood."
Hearing Fangzheng's request, the old lady nodded and turned to get the key. Fangzheng also quickly gave orders to the others.
"Xiao Lan, come over and help me record the statement. Yuan Zi, you stay here with these two ladies. See if there's anything you need help with. Mr. Jing Ji, their safety is in your hands."
"Understood."
Jing Ji also knew that now was not the time to talk nonsense, so he didn't say much. He just nodded and stood behind Yuan Zi.
"Wait, what about me?"
At that moment, Mira couldn't sit still as she hurriedly asked. Fangzheng smiled in response.
"You're responsible for interrogating the other person."
"I'll do it?"
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Mira was somewhat surprised. She had only been a princess and a queen, not a police officer. How could she interrogate a criminal?
However, Fangzheng gave her a look, and Mira immediately understood and nodded.
"Leave it to me!"
