Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 876 The Mysterious Murder Incident

"Woo-!"

Accompanied by a long whistling sound, the Suzuki Express train spewed water vapor and slammed out of the station, but unlike ordinary steam trains, the train traveled very fast and very smoothly.

As an ornamental train, this car will not stop in the middle, until it reaches the mysterious end.

Except for the dining car, all the cars of the train are separate compartments. Gao Cheng's room is room B of the first-class car No. 8, but he did not stay in the private room after getting on the train, but found a window seat in the dining car. Enjoy dessert while reading a novel.

As for room B of car No. 8, it has already been occupied by a group of women...

Gao Cheng frowned and flipped through the novel.

Compared with a group of women's rooms, it's much quieter here, and reading novels feels more like it.

"I have been behind you...Dai, it turns out that this is light, and human beings can..."

"Transform!"

Sure enough, the special feature novel is the best, if it is made into a movie...

Gao Cheng's eyes were flushed, and he was moved to turn to the next page.

"To be continued..."

"It actually broke in such a place!!"

"Oh?" Toru Amuro sat down across from Gao Cheng, glanced at the novel in Gao Cheng's hand, and smiled, "It's a bit different for Kido Detective and Mori-sensei to be able to take the time to read like this. Teacher prefers to read newspapers."

"Mr. Anshi?" Gao Cheng froze and raised his head in surprise, "Did you come up too?"

"Yeah, after all, I'm also the chief disciple of Mr. Mori, and I just got a ticket online again." Toru Amuro scratched his hair and laughed, and asked Gaocheng suspiciously, "But aren't you interested in Detective Kido?"

"Eh?"

"It's the deduction puzzle announced during the train. I heard that every time passengers are randomly selected to act as the criminal and the victim, and then an incident occurs. The other passengers are detectives. Find the criminal before reaching the end..."

"Event?" Gao Cheng suddenly put away the novel, "Is there such an event in the car?"

So that's why the client said last time that he was a famous detective, so it must be more interesting.

"Heh heh heh," Kogoro Mori glued on the two upturned beards of the great detective Poirot, and walked into the dining car proudly, "Although everyone is a detective, but if you want to talk about the real protagonist, of course I, the famous detective Maori Pororang, no matter what happens in the car, I will solve the puzzle perfectly!"

"Mao, Maori Bororo?"

Gao Cheng's head was full of black lines, looking at the confident-looking uncle in front of him.

Thinking of myself as Poirot, do you want this train to become the "Orient Express"?

If the "Murder on the Orient Express" really happens, it will be troublesome...

"As expected of Mr. Mori," Toru Amuro looked at the uncle admiringly and said, "Have you got a clue now?"

"Hmph, of course."

Mori Kogoro sat down next to him with his head raised, one eye glimpsed the delicious food on the other side of the passenger table, and his mouth watered immediately.

"But before that, I'm reluctant to try the food here and the wine bar."

"Hello..."

……

"Congratulations, you have been selected to play the role of a detective. In 10 minutes, an incident will occur in room B of car No. 7. Let's start the investigation..."

In the train corridor, Conan was holding an instruction card, and Ayumi and the others walked to room B of car No. 7.

"Strange, didn't you say that all the passengers are detectives?"

He remembered that room B of car No. 7 seemed to be the person who was robbed of the first-class car by Gao Cheng.

"That, excuse me..."

Conan knocked on the door of Room B, opened it and shouted, "Excuse me..."

"Wow, idiot!" The fat man with a small goatee in the room panicked, "Don't come in!!"

"biubiu!"

Suddenly there were two small gunshots, and a man wearing a mask and holding a suppressed pistol fired two shots at the fat man. Before Conan could react, he rushed out of the door and fled in a hurry.

"Come on!"

"This one……"

Conan's eyelids folded and excited Ayumi chased after the suspicious man.

It's not so much a mysterious reasoning, but a ghost hunting game, right?

After a few people chased after a few carriages, the man was completely lost, because the carriages were full of rooms, and he didn't know which room he slipped into, and there was no one in the corridor.

The conductor noticed several children, and hurriedly approached and asked, "Is this your first time taking this train?"

"yes……"

"In this case, it's better to stay in the room. The broadcast in the room will soon release this reasoning puzzle." The captain suggested.

"Ah?" Conan was stunned, "Has the incident not happened yet?"

"Well, this time it should be an hour later..."

"what happened?"

After confirming with the driver, Conan's face changed, and he hurried back to the No. 7 car.

If it starts an hour later, then what just happened is...

In room B of car No. 7, Conan opened the door with a heavy expression, but the next moment he was stunned to find Xiaolan and the others inside.

Sonoko, Xiao Ai and even Shiliang Zhenchun are also there.

"This is……"

"Conan?"

Holding the teacup, Sonoko lowered his eyelids when he saw Conan walking in a hurry, "I said, remember to knock on the door before entering the lady's room!"

"But," Conan said in a daze, "isn't this car No. 7?"

"Aha? This is car No. 8!"

"That's right," Shiliang Zhenchun said with a smile, "I just came here to play..."

"Yes, is that so?"

Conan closed the door with a question mark on his face and left, then walked back in the corridor thinking.

"Strange, there shouldn't be a wrong number of carriages..."

"It can't be helped," Guang Yan comforted, "The number of the mysterious train car is only found on the outer body, and there is only one letter on the door of the room..."

"Click!" Just then, the door of Room D in the next compartment of No. 7 suddenly opened from the inside, and Dr. A Li stopped several people at the door.

"How? Is the deduction puzzle solved?"

Conan stopped completely in a daze: "Doctor, is this room our room in car No. 6?!"

"That's right," Dr. A Li was stunned, and stepped aside, "Look, the snacks you were eating just now are still on the table, what's wrong?"

"Hello..."

Conan turned pale.

"We only walked one car from the No. 8 car, right?"

"Car No. 7... Did Car No. 7 disappear while driving?!"

……

"Pfft! Did you see Conan's expression just now?"

On the other side, after Conan left, several women in the room smiled knowingly, only Xiao Ai still had a sleepy face.

"But I really didn't expect that these children would be selected as detectives. I actually want to punish the entire Kido-senpai." Sera Masumi folded his arms and smiled, turning his gaze to Xiao Ai, who barely made a sound, and said, " By the way, speaking of it, this is the first time we have met like this..."

Sera Masumi bent down and approached Xiao Ai: "Are you the kid named Haibara from Kido-senpai's family? I've always wanted to find a chance to talk to you, but you and Kido-senpai went back first when we were camping last time." It's..."

Xiao Ai shrinks back, Yuanzi pulls Xiao Ai and laughs: "Although this child talks like an adult, he is actually quite shy."

"is it?"

Shiliang Zhenchun looked thoughtfully at Xiao Ai who was hiding beside Yuanzi, when Conan ran back outside and knocked on the door.

"Huh?" Conan pulled the gate and saw the garden, and asked weakly with sweat, "This is really..."

"They say it's the No. 8 car!" Sonoko kicked Conan out of the room with his hips on his hips, "Go back to your room, little brat!!"

"What's going on here?" Mitsuhiko who was following Conan was also confused, looking at the sleepy conductor at the end of the corridor and asked in confusion, "Could it be that conductor made a mistake?"

"wrong……"

Conan held his chin and thought for a while, then opened the door again, before Yuanzi could get angry, he said first, "This room should be Room B of Car No. The people in this room temporarily exchange rooms with the person playing the victim, and don't let the detectives who come to investigate find out..."

"That's amazing!" Before Yuanzi could refute, Xiaolan couldn't help applauding, "As expected of Conan, I found out so soon! Someone knocked on the door just now, and then I saw a letter with an instruction card on the ground outside the door. , just like what Conan said."

"Yes yes yes!" Yuanzi said angrily, "It is said that the passenger who was selected as the victim is waiting in room B of car No. 7, and asked us to exchange rooms with him to make the deduction more lively!"

"When I came here to meet the person playing the victim, Shiliang happened to see..."

"That means the passenger who played the role of the victim is now going to Room B of Car No. 8..."

Conan sweated slightly on his forehead.

It turned out to be a game, probably the passenger's prank, I remember complaining about my room being robbed before getting on the bus...

"Where are Brother Kido and Uncle Kogoro?" Conan looked into the room and asked, "Aren't they here?"

"Senior Kido didn't know where he was going at the beginning, but," Xiaolan explained, "the passenger who played the role of the victim asked Dad to go to the dining car to stand by temporarily, saying that he wanted him to be the detective who finally solved the reasoning puzzle Woolen cloth."

"But it's weird, isn't it?" Mitsuhiko said, "It's clear that everyone will become a detective, and the driver said that it will start after an hour..."

"Anyway," Sera Masumi suggested, "tell the driver to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the corpse first, so that we will know what's going on."

"Aren't you going to tell Uncle Kogoro?"

"Whatever, he must be eating and drinking in the dining car anyway." Xiaolan got up and said.

Train restaurant.

Because the wine and food are provided for free, Mori Kogoro seems to have stepped into a new world. As long as it is free, this uncle has always been flocking to it, not to mention that the wine and food here are also very high-end.

"Oh, both the food and the wine are great!" The uncle said with a smile on his face, "It's like a dream!"

Gao Cheng rolled his eyelids and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a peeping gaze, but turned around but found nothing.

"And then, Mori-sensei," Toru Amuro asked Mori Kogoro, "What do you know?"

"I won't be able to tell you this until later. It's a very incredible mystery about the disappearance of the carriage! Hohoho!"

"is it?"

The train whizzed and hummed into a tunnel, the light dimmed, and the dining car and corridors were followed by soft lights.

Belmode in disguise hid in the corridor outside the dining car, his chest heaved and his eyes trembled violently.

Sure enough, it felt the same as that time...

Gao Cheng had a strange and dangerous aura on him, just like when he faced the masked man, especially the calm eyes that seemed to control everything.

Will it be the same person?
Although it usually looks very ordinary, there is nothing wrong with the inadvertent feeling, the feeling of fear in the bones, and there is also a strange sense of familiarity...

……

"Please note, passengers..."

After the train drove out of the long tunnel, I suddenly remembered a broadcast.

"Hesitantly, there was an accident in the train just now. This train has changed its original plan. It is expected to temporarily stop at the nearest station. After the stop, please stay in your room and wait until you receive instructions, and try to avoid going out. Thank you for your cooperation, sorry for the inconvenience caused...

"In addition, the deduction puzzles that were scheduled to be held will also be cancelled."

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro held the table knife in a daze, "Is it cancelled?"

"It seems that something happened," Toru Amuro stood up with a slight expression on his face, and suggested, "Let's go and have a look first."

Passengers left the dining car after discussing. At this time, the uncle also received a call from his daughter Xiaolan.

It was a homicide.

The scene is in Room B of Car No. 8...

Gao Cheng walked out through the corridor with the uncles, and suddenly noticed the familiar figure of Okiya Subaru passing by the crowd, and finally entered a private room.

He followed here unexpectedly, this guy asked for leave today, he didn't expect it to be in this car, and he wasn't afraid to run into Amuro Toru.

Was it him who peeped just now?

"What's wrong?" Toru Amuro asked doubtfully.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just seem to see an acquaintance."

The incident occurred in carriage No. 8. According to the request of the broadcast, most of the passengers returned to their rooms.

"That is to say," Gao Cheng saw Sera Masumi and Conan at the scene of No. 8 car, and understood, "Before the reasoning puzzle started, someone set up the game and asked the victim to change to room B of No. 8 car. Was the victim still alive at that time?"

"Yes," Conan nodded, "Sister Xiaolan said, after exchanging with them, the victim came to the No. 8 car. When we found out, this uncle became like this. Someone shot him through his temples...

"The problem is that the anti-theft chain was still hung in this room at that time, and we forcibly broke the chain to enter... Although the method of hanging the anti-theft chain is still a mystery, there is no burnt mark around the temple of the corpse, and the silencer is so long. Pistols, if you want to commit suicide, it is very difficult to leave no traces, and generally people who want to commit suicide will not use a silencer..."

"It's not just that," Sera Masumi continued, "The opposite sofa still has marks of being shot, probably to make the victim's hands or cuffs stained with firing debris, and pretend to be a suicide, so he held the deceased's hand and hid." fired a shot...

"Of course the criminal's hands and cuffs will also be stained with residue, but the hands can be washed off with water immediately, and the clothes have probably been thrown away...

"The only thing confirmed is that the criminal is still on this 80km/h train!"

"Well."

Gao Cheng followed to check the scene, and then looked at the passing scenery outside.

The time of the crime happened to be when passing through the tunnel, and the surroundings were dark, which was the best time to do it.

In other words, the other party tricked the uncle into the dining car because he was worried that the sleeping Kogoro would find out. It's a shame that the uncle believed it...

"What? You have to go to Nagoya to park?!" Sera Masumi asked the driver loudly, "Didn't you say to park at the nearest station?"

"This, this," the conductor said, wiping his sweat, "When I contacted the train owner Jirokichi Suzuki, he said that he would personally arrest the criminal at Nagoya Station..."

"Don't worry," Mori Kogoro interjected, pinching his mustache. "Before arriving in Nagoya, I, Mori Pororo, will perfectly solve the Suzuki Express murder case! Let's wait and see!"

Gao Cheng ignored the bragging uncle outside, and still stood in room B frowning.

Chamber murder...

Since someone specially designed to transfer the victim to this place, it means that there must be a reason for doing so.

In the past, the victims had indeed made reservations for room B of car No. 8, but this time they were snatched away by jumping in line.

In other words, it is likely to be a crime method that can only be used here.

Where is the problem...

Gao Cheng slowly exited the room, his eyes scanned every detail of the room, and then he looked at the entire corridor of carriage No. 8.

With his eyes tightened, Gao Cheng turned to the driver and asked, "Mr. Driver, did you see the victim, Mr. Murohashi, at that time?"
