Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 878

"bang bang..."

As the train passed the embankment bridge, the maid in room D glanced out the window, and suddenly her ears moved slightly, and she vaguely heard the voices of several people outside.

"It's really unlucky," Kidd said in a loud voice, "to meet these guys being involved in a murder case again."

Uncle Terai, dressed as an old lady, said, "It shouldn't matter, right? As long as we don't expose ourselves..."

"Don't underestimate them," the maid said angrily, "these people have always had good noses."

"Then, should we go to Master Kido first..."

"Really, maybe I owe that guy a favor again."

"Already, do you know who the murderer is?" At the door of Room C of Car No. 8, Shiliang Zhenchun stared at Gao Cheng, "Are you telling the truth? And about the secret room technique..."

"It's not a secret room at all," Gao Cheng interrupted, "Indeed, when you arrived in Room B, the room was put on an anti-theft chain, but is this sure that it is a secret room?"

"Of course!" Shiliang said with his hands on his hips, "At that time, Conan and I broke the anti-theft chain with our own hands to get in! There is absolutely no room for manipulation!"

"Did you really not do anything?" Gao Cheng smiled, "Why do you think that you can only enter if you break the anti-theft chain?"

"Please, what's the matter..."

Sera Masumi blinked suddenly, and the rest of the words were blocked back.

"Difficult, is there any other way?"

"I checked it just now," Gao Cheng took out the photo he took with his mobile phone, "the number of anti-theft chains in Room B is 6, but there are only 5 in other rooms, the problem lies in the extra 1 .”

Mori Kogoro said in a daze, "It's just an extra chain, what's the problem?"

"Under normal circumstances, the length of the anti-theft chain is designed so that after hanging it, it is absolutely impossible to hang or take it off even if you put your hand inside the door. Put your finger in the crack of the door and put on the anti-theft chain." Gao Cheng explained.

"However, even if it's not a secret room, someone doing such a thing at the door of Room B will be discovered by the captain?" The man with glasses hurriedly said, "Didn't the captain be in the corridor all the time?"

"That's why the prisoner made additional preparations." Gao Cheng turned his gaze to the man with glasses, "Mr. the driver started to run left and right just as he was about to enter the tunnel. First, he ran to the door of Room A because there was no calling bell on the lights, because only A The light in the room is broken...

"When Mr. Commander and Mr. Noto in Room A were arguing, Mr. Murohashi of Room B opened the door to check the situation. The prisoner took this opportunity to enter Room B. The corridor of the train is narrow, which can basically block the view of the train commander... …

"The prisoner should have called Mr. Murohashi before entering the tunnel. When the train captain was arguing, he asked him to go out to see what happened. He went out and approached room B. When the train entered the tunnel, he excused that there was no signal. Go to Mr. Murohashi's room to continue the conversation...

"As for the content of the conversation, it is probably the reasoning puzzle on this train, because the prisoner in front used his forged instruction card to let Mr. Murohashi play the victim, and changed the room to room B of No. 8 car."

Gao Cheng got two instruction cards from Conan.

"I didn't need to be so troublesome, but this time Mr. Murohashi didn't make an appointment to Room B of Car No. 8 like before, which means that the crime scene must be in Room B of this car. The anti-theft chain, and the broken A-room light...

"Of course, the most important thing is that the prisoner himself is in this carriage."

"So," Mori Kogoro snorted, "who is that prisoner? Even if you can't see it when you go in, you will always be seen by the captain when you come out, right? The captain couldn't enter Room E on the other side... "

"The prisoner has already considered this point, that's why the captain saw the opening of the door of Room A." Gao Cheng pointed to the black bag behind the man with glasses, "I think the key evidence should be in that inexplicable heavy painting." in."

"That," the man with glasses said dryly, "Didn't I say it? It's heavy because..."

"Because the picture frame is made of pure gold, right?" Gao Cheng continued, "Indeed, you said that you specifically told everyone at the station...

"So, what kind of consignor would specially hand over the collection with a pure gold frame to you for appraisal and safekeeping, instead of asking you to go to the scene for appraisal, and also requiring you to send it to Nagoya alone?"

Gao Cheng has sharp eyes.

"This..." The man with glasses was sweating profusely.

"The reason why I thought it was weird at that time," Gao Cheng said lightly, "is because of such a valuable thing, even if the painting is a fake, your attitude is too strange. Generally, no one will specifically explain the pure gold frame. The chaotic place at the station... can you tell me? Who is that client..."

"It's a mirror!" Shiliang Zhenchun removed the frame, opened the inside of the painting, and found 3 large rectangular mirrors by accident, "And the frame is not pure gold at all!"

Sera Masumi took out the mirrors one by one, and looked at the man with glasses solemnly: "I see, you brought 3 mirrors that could cover a door when you stacked them up. At that time, you opened the door of your room, and the mirror that was pasted on the inside beforehand Reflecting, Mr. Captain saw a suspicious figure peeping behind the door of Room A, but it was Mr. Captain himself who was at the door of Room E at that time..."

"That's not right," Mori Kogoro questioned, "If it's a reflection, the house number of Room E should appear, right?"

"Because the place where the house number will be reflected is painted with the same paint as the door." Sera Masumi looked directly at the man in glasses with piercing eyes, "After leaving Room B, you first use the alarm watch to attract the attention of the driver. , and then closed the door of his room C, pretending to have just left the room, as for the props to open the door of room C in room B, he must have already dealt with it on the way.

"Of course, you also prepared the alarm watch to attract attention. It should be a remote alarm."

Shiliang Zhenchun smiled and looked at Gao Cheng with a small canine tooth: "Is that right, Kido-senpai?"

"I'll let you finish talking..."

Gao Cheng and Conan stood beside him, paused, and asked seriously to the depressed man in glasses: "Then, is the motive related to that fire? I remember that you were killed together with Mr. Murohashi 5 years ago." Rescue..."

"Because that fire was Murohashi's masterpiece," the man with glasses said hoarsely, "The painting that was supposed to be burned in that fire appeared at the auction two years ago. After I tracked it down, I found Murohashi. It was him who wanted to hide his crime of theft, which was admitted by Murohashi himself before his death...

"I originally planned to persuade him to surrender, especially when I learned that room B of car No. 8 was robbed by a famous detective, I thought maybe God was stopping me...

"However, even though so many people were killed, Murohashi didn't feel guilty at all. He smiled and blushed and said that it's good to be alive. Obviously, my wife was also killed in that fire!!"

Looking at the man in glasses who was emotionally outburst, Gao Cheng didn't continue to ask questions.

Perhaps when he was on the platform, he felt the sadness hidden by this man.

There is indeed too much sadness in this world, but no matter how sad it is, killing is always killing, let alone involving other innocent people.

"Really," Mori Kogoro looked at the man with glasses who pleaded guilty, but he didn't think too much about it, he just said depressedly, "Why doesn't practicing Poirot work? I thought I could solve the case beautifully this time." ...

"Sure enough, Sleeping Kogoro is going to go out."
