he three papers with the circle, cross, and triangle patterns on them stood out the most.
"In that case, let's start with the Acting Director's paper," Katsuki Doito said, about to turn over the circled paper.
"Wait!"
Hamano Toshiya stopped him, closing his eyes. "Before you open them, let me predict what names are written on the back of these papers."
"Prediction?"
Everyone looked at Hamano Toshiya in surprise.
"If my sixth sense is correct..."
Hamano Toshiya closed his eyes, placed his index finger on his forehead, and pondered for a moment. After a moment, he opened his eyes and pointed at Kuroda Naoko and said, "Ms. Kuroda Naoko, you will be the acting director."
"How is that possible?!"
Upon hearing this, Kuroda Naoko walked to the table and flipped over the paper with the circle drawn on it.
"No way!" Sure enough , the word "Kuroda" was written on the paper, which meant Kuroda Naoko.
"You really got it right!"
Yoshinori Ara who was standing next to him, was quite surprised. He thought Hamano Toshiya was just joking, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"The next person in charge of boiling the bath water..."
Hamano Toshiya pointed at Tanaka Kikue and said, "That's you, Ms. Tanaka."
Tanaka Kikue said in surprise, "Me?"
Suzuki Sonoko walked to the table and flipped over the paper with the triangle pattern drawn on it. As expected, the word "Tanaka" was written on it.
"Is it really me?"
Tanaka Kikue took the paper from Suzuki Sonoko and looked at Hamano Toshiya. "I say, you didn't switch it somewhere, did you?"
Hamano Toshiya raised his hands and said, "As you can see, I didn't touch the paper at all. As for the one who made the mark, it was Miss Sonoko who was blindfolded."
Tanaka Kikue looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who smiled awkwardly.
Seeing this, Tanaka Kikue could only say helplessly, "Okay, in that case, I'll go boil some water for the bath."
Seeing Tanaka Kikue leaving, Kiyohiro Sugama said, "Do you know where the firewood is?"
"Don't worry, I checked it when I came here,"
Tanaka Kikue said, and walked away.
"I think I should go with you and help you."
Kiyohiro Sugama said, following behind Tanaka Kikue, who didn't say anything to refuse.
Seeing this, Hamano Toshiya said, "Next up, it's you who'll be in charge of tonight's entertainment program, Doi Takashi." He pointed at Doi Takeshu.
"Me? That's terrible!"
Doi Takeshu, feeling somewhat helpless, walked towards the table.
"Let me take a look."
Yoshinori Ara picked up the paper on the table, glanced at it, and then looked at Hamano Toshiya in confusion. "The person in charge of the entertainment program should be you, Mr. Hamano." He pointed the last name on the paper at Hamano Toshiya, and sure enough, it was written "Hamano".
"Hey?"
Hamano Toshiya was startled, a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything. After taking the paper, he could only reluctantly walk upstairs.
Seeing this, Aizen said to the three women around him: "I say, since we are free, how about we go upstairs and play cards?"
Ran heard this and said: "That's not a good idea."
Yoshinori Ara said: "It's okay, I don't have anything to do now anyway. I will go to the room to call you when everything is ready."
"Thank you for your help."
Aizen thanked him.
Aizen and the other three went upstairs, and Conan naturally followed.
Time passed while Aizen and the other three played cards until Kuroda Naoko came to call them. Then they left the room and went downstairs with Kuroda Naoko.
When they came downstairs, there was already a lot of food on the table, but not everyone was there.
Ran Mouri asked, "Where are Mr. Ara and Mr. Hamano?"
Naoko Kuroda said, "Mr. Ara went to the wine cellar to get some wine, so he asked me to call you upstairs. As for Mr. Hamano, I think he is still in his room thinking about tonight's entertainment."
Kikue Tanaka smiled and said, "It seems that he is in trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about it for so long."
"Huh! It's so cold!"
As they were talking, Yoshinori Ara walked in with a glass of red wine.
"It seems the Escape King and Shadow Master won't be coming tonight," said Kuroda Naoko, noting that
Tanaka Kikue nodded and said, "It seems so, it's already so late."
Yoshinori Ara said, "I don't know about the others, but the Director, Escape King, will definitely be here soon. I even contacted him last night."
Katsuki Doito said, "Is that so? So he must have been delayed on the way."
Yoshinori Ara said to the crowd, "That should be. Let's ignore him for now and have something to eat and some wine to warm us up."
Tanaka Kikue said, "Should we call Mr. Hamano? If we can't think of any entertainment, then forget it. There's no need to force it."
Kuroda Naoko also said, "If that doesn't work, then we can have Mr. Aizen perform a magic trick for us."
Seeing that he was mentioned, Aizen shrugged and smiled, "If you don't mind my poor performance, I'd be happy to perform for you."
"Well, let's go up together and call him."
Kikue Tanakazawa did not object, but suggested that everyone go together to call Hamano Toshiya.
No one refused, so the group went upstairs together.
When they arrived outside Hamano Toshiya's room, Kikue Tanakazawa knocked on the door of Hamano Toshiya's room and called out. However, Kikue Tanakazawa called out several times, but there was no response from the room.
It was impossible for everyone to just leave like that, so Kikue Tanakazawa said he wanted to go in, opened the door, and everyone walked in. Hamano Toshiya was not in the room, but the window was open. Seeing this, everyone naturally walked towards the window and came to the balcony.
Standing on the balcony, everyone found Hamano Toshiya lying on the snow outside the villa. He did not respond when they called him. Everyone realized that something was wrong and immediately ran out of the room.
