"His accomplice should be an employee of that jewelry store. What's that guy's name?" Edogawa Ranpo looked at the corpse in front of him and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested in knowing anyway. Anyway, the person who killed him was also the same Employee, but the one who hangs him here is probably the guy who calls himself the Hell Puppet Master."

"Wait, wait a minute, I can't sort it out." A policeman on the side quickly waved his hand. Although he had watched the whole process, he was a little bit unable to recover now, his whole mind was in a mess, and he knocked hard. Knocking on the forehead, he finally said: "In short, let's go through one by one first. First of all, what is a puppet master in hell?"

"A commission from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department." Fukuzawa Yukichi was much more prepared than Edogawa Ranpo, and he took out a commission letter from his pocket and handed it over.

The policeman opened it to take a look, and found that it was a threatening letter, the content of which roughly meant that a bomb would be planted on this sleeping train.

He reached out and pressed his temple, "This puppeteer from hell or something, could it be the guy in the smoke just now?"

"If there is no accident, it should be him." Osamu Dazai nodded and said, "Exaggerated attire, the way of appearing on stage as if deliberately attracting our attention, and smoke bombs everywhere."

"Then, that person is not a ghost, but a living person...?" Mao Lilan asked with some relief.

"Yes, but if you don't let go, your father will turn into a ghost." Osamu Dazai looked sideways and showed a gentle smile at the girl, as if to comfort him.

"Wow, Dad!" Mao Lilan let go of her hand quickly. She just hugged her father habitually because she was scared, but she almost strangled her father to death.

Conan turned his head to look at Kogoro Mori, whose face was turning blue, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"The puppet master in hell has nothing to do with the shooting just now or the death of this person." Ranpo Edogawa looked at the situation next door after watching the scene, and said with certainty, "The puppet master in hell Just letting those two incidents happen and taking advantage of them."

"Use it? What does he want to do?" The policeman couldn't help showing an incomprehensible look on his face, "Also, how are you sure that the deceased must have died at the hands of that jewelry store employee? "

"You only need to look at this kind of thing to know?" The detective clasped his hands.

"But you..." But you didn't even see it!The little policeman is full of bad things, he just feels like he has a stomach full of bad things to vomit.

"Does that kind of thing require a detective to go to the scene in person?" Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help but look at him with disdain, but still sighed helplessly, and led the police to the place that had just been inspected. Boxes with broken windows.

"You guys, don't stop the inspection work!" When the policeman followed him, he saw that the other side had completely stopped working, and instead came to watch the excitement of the fantasy magic troupe and the other side who were checking their luggage. The policeman, with veins popping out of his forehead, couldn't help but yelled loudly.

"Ah, yes." The policemen who had been scolded continued to go to Jin Xing's inspection work obediently.

Because the windows behind the wide-open box doors over there had been completely broken, the previous smoke had also dispersed long ago.The cold wind was still blowing in, making people flustered.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't take off his glasses, and after casually glanced at the scratches on the wall, he pointed to the policeman beside him and said, "Did you see it? The strangulation marks caused by this fishing line, the prisoner used fishing line Hang the dead body just now behind the broken window, then pretend to break the window, and then do something casually so that the nearby witnesses can't look directly at the prisoner temporarily, so he shoots at the witnesses ? Finally, he closed the door and hid in the next stairs, pretending to be hiding in the room, and then cut the fishing line and recovered it.”

"Hey?" Obviously this person didn't see anything, but why can he say it as if he witnessed it with his own eyes?On the one hand, the policeman was shocked by the reasoning ability of the other party, but on the other hand, he also had some doubts about the words of the person in front of him.

Edogawa Ranpo is already used to the reaction of these policemen. He pointed to the bullet holes on the carpet in the corridor, and then pointed to the strangle marks caused by the fishing line at the corner, and finally said: "That policeman There are strangle marks on the waist of the corpse caused by tying the fishing line for a long time, since you are the police, can you check it a little more carefully?"

After hearing his words, the policeman shut his mouth immediately, and finally could only ask with difficulty: "Then do you have any evidence?"

The three Maori on the side felt that there was something wrong with this development. Generally speaking, shouldn't it be the prisoner who asked this question?

But Conan spoke quickly, "Uncle Police Department, among all the luggage, only Mr. Kagoshi Rize has fishing gear in his luggage."

"Idiot, such a thing can't be used as evidence at all, right?" the police department couldn't help but angrily said.

"This technique seems powerful at first glance, but there is actually a problem that cannot be avoided at all. There is absolutely no way to hide the tools used by this person for disguise." Edogawa shook his head in disorder, "It's really stupid, as long as If you go to check his luggage carefully..."

Before they finished speaking, they heard a scream not far away from the crowd who finally started to carry on their luggage.

A group of people ran over quickly, and saw a person tied up in the room of the head of the mountain god. The dress of that person was exactly the same as that of Mori Kogoro and the others, except that his head was lowered and motionless, but his body was Securely strapped to it was what was clearly a bomb.

Following the exclamation of these people, the person over there who had been hanging his head finally woke up staggeringly, and following his movements, the timer in front of him suddenly beeped, and the 5-minute interval began. countdown.

"Ahhh..." The people outside immediately screamed, they backed away in shock, and the man gradually came to his senses, he looked at the person in front of him with some doubts, and then shook habitually , Just when he was about to say something, he also noticed those people who were staying away from him.

What's the matter with these people?Why stay away from me?Where am I?I……

Gayue Lize tried to struggle a bit, but other than letting him fall on the bed, he didn't break free from the rope on his wrist. Not to mention, he also saw that his body was tied firmly, not to mention, There was something hanging on his body, he lowered his head, and saw the LCD screen that was counting down rapidly.

Gayue Lize was stunned, and immediately realized what it was. He wanted to scream on the spot, but found that his mouth was tied up, and he couldn't even shout. Wearing a fake beard and skewed sunglasses, they all revealed an air of despair.

Oda Sakunosuke immediately wanted to go up to defuse the bomb, but was grabbed by Osamu Dazai, "Oda Saku, don't go there, have you forgotten? What happened just now."

Oda Sakunosuke was taken aback for a moment, and immediately remembered that when he saw the corpse of the head of the mountain god, his supernatural power had already been activated seamlessly. What he saw in the supernatural power scene at that time was not that simple, but it actually appeared In front of him, except for the disappearance of the corpse, everything else was more like a farce.

"Have you finally realized it? The puppet master from hell may have information about you." Osamu Dazai showed a dangerous smile on his face, "This is a trap for you. The bomb, probably not only timed, but also It can be operated manually, as long as you go forward, not only will you not be able to save him, but you will also be killed together with him.”

Oda Sakunosuke frowned, "But even so, you can't let people die in front of you like this."

"I'll try it." Osamu Dazai pushed him back and was about to step forward, "I can untie his rope faster than you, and I had an idea before, maybe I can try it."

"Hey Dazai..." Before Oda Sakunosuke could finish his words, there was a flash of lightning, and a figure rushed over, cutting the tightly tied ropes of the man with lightning speed. In the blink of an electric light, the bomb was directly thrown out of the broken window.

Just a few seconds after the bomb flew out of the car, accompanied by a huge roar, the flames of the explosion shot out instantly, and the splashing flames directly shook the train, and the tunnel beside it was shaken so that countless dust fell down.

"President!" Osamu Dazai and Sakunosuke Oda looked over there, and saw Fukuzawa Yukichi, who still had a faint thunder on his body, looking at them calmly.

Edogawa Ranpo rushed to Fukuzawa Yukichi's side first, and pulled him to look carefully, "President, are you alright?"

"It's nothing..." Fukuzawa Yukichi patted the boy's head lightly, then turned his head and said to the policeman and flight attendant over there, "In any case, the vehicle needs to drive out of the tunnel first. It's really troublesome."

Although no one thought that the bomb in the prisoner's hand could blow up the tunnel, if something went wrong, all of them would be stuck in the tunnel if they were not careful.

"Damn it, can the car still drive in this case?" The policeman on the side quickly asked the flight attendant beside him.

The flight attendant felt a little pain from being caught by him, but he still said, "I'll contact the driver right now..."

"Wow ah ah ah." As they spoke, a loud howl sounded from behind, "Mom, I want to go home!"

Edogawa Ranbu's expression finally became dignified, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the group of people over there, his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to penetrate all the fog, and even gave people a feeling of showing their sharpness .

That look, as cold as a sharp knife, made Conan Edogawa shiver uncontrollably.

What he saw today was beyond his common sense. If the famous detective Edogawa Ranpo could decipher the method of shooting and murdering people with a single glance, then every time the door was opened and closed, He really didn't understand the method of disappearing a corpse.

There was also Yasuji Asama who was inexplicably hung in the bathroom next door, and Rize Kagoshi who was so frightened that he was about to pee in front of him now.

What made him even more suspicious was the real lightning-fast figure just now. No, I heard that President Fukuzawa was a top swordsman in a famous town before he became a detective, so he was able to reach such a speed. Not surprising, right...

Yes, not surprising at all!

When Conan was still comforting himself like this, he saw Edogawa Ranbu suddenly strode towards a person who seemed to be submissive, and said, "Are you the puppet master from hell?"

"Huh?" The whole group looked at that person in shock. That person was Gao Yuanyaoyi, the manager of the fantasy magic troupe. They all look very gentle, and because of his role as the manager of this weird magic group, he looks very weak, and often gives people a feeling of submissiveness, even when he just checked the luggage, he was also He was the first one to go to the police to check him. During the check, he kept asking when the train would reopen, which annoyed the police who checked him.

So when Edogawa ranpo said that sentence to him, everyone showed expressions of disbelief, the policeman over there was even more unbelievable, this weak young man could be so cruel Prisoner, this is impossible, isn't it?and……

"What are you talking about? We were all together just now? You said Gao Yuan was the murderer, so how did he do it?" The members of the Fantasy Magic Troupe first disagreed. I really don't have much respect, and I don't care about a small agent, but if I don't care about it, it doesn't mean that I can let others talk nonsense!

Edogawa Ranpo asked very calmly: "You said you have been together, are you really sure?"

The magician was stared at by him and felt a little bit wrong. He felt that all the secrets in his body seemed to be seen through in that glance. He stammered and didn't dare to lie, "I didn't notice this, maybe, seem……"

As he talked, he himself was a little uncertain. So many things happened just now, and he couldn't bear to watch the excitement. How could he notice the situation of a manager?

Edogawa Ranpo said very firmly: "The head of the magic troupe just now has only one head over there, and his body should be tied up with balloons. When the explosion just happened, the other party took advantage of the chaos to recover The head and clothing, the rest will naturally disappear in the explosion. And the head of the regiment leader is now in your bag."

As soon as these words came out, even Osamu Dazai couldn't help showing a slightly surprised expression.

Edogawa Ranpo continued without waiting for other people's reaction: "You are a very good magician, so when dealing with the head's affairs, you can obviously blow up the people at the door, but you only choose the last one. Take away the leader's head and burn his clothes in a way similar to the curtain call."

"Ah, so if someone sees through the magician's tricks, the curtain will immediately come to an end." Gao Yuanyao took off the glasses he was wearing on his face as soon as he said that, his whole person's aura changed instantly, and his originally harmless aura suddenly disappeared. Sweeping away, it became like a dagger out of its sheath, "It's a pity, I thought that bomb could do something, it was beyond my expectation."

"No matter who it is, it is unforgivable to want to hurt the president." Edogawa Ranpo said very seriously.

"Sure enough, he is indeed a famous detective in the legend..." Gao Yuanyao put his glasses back into the pocket of his suit jacket indifferently, looked at him with interest and said, "I was looking forward to the Maori detective over there, but in the end It seems that he is not as famous as he is, is there someone behind his back to help him?"

As soon as Gao Yuanyao said, he threw the shoulder bag he had been carrying on the ground casually, and even said to the police next to him: "Go and see for yourself, there is indeed the head of the head of the mountain god inside."

Mori Kogoro over there originally wanted to say something, but suddenly he couldn't say anything in front of this man who became murderous in a second, and was even quite terrifying.

Edogawa Conan beside him bit his lip tightly and dared not make a sound.

It is obvious that Gao Yuanyao is a criminal, and judging from his actions, it fully explains the status quo of his confession, but why, why his momentum was completely suppressed.

The policemen were also taken aback. A young policeman stepped forward tremblingly, and opened the travel bag that had been checked before. There was an extra human head coming out, and this discovery made the young policeman feel a little panicked.

"Mr. Ranpo, do you want me to contact Chief Farming?" Osamu Dazai leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

"No, there's no need." Edogawa Ranpo shook his head, and then said a word to the man in front of him, "Are you from Jungle?"

Gao Yuanyao nodded with a smile, without any intention of denying it. He stepped forward, and his strong momentum even made the police who were approaching take a step back. When he came in front of the two, he took out his mobile phone, They directly clicked on a green a, and after the page of a opened, they jumped directly to a task.

Both Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo could see clearly that Gaoyuan Yaoyi's a showed his nickname and level, which was actually second only to the highest level u level! On the page that jumps out, it shows a task he is performing - "clearing members of the armed detective agency in Yokohama". There are detailed instructions in that task, including the abilities and An explanation of how many points you get for killing a person.

Seeing this task, Edogawa Ranpo and Osamu Dazai were shocked at the same time. Once Gao Yuanyao confirmed that they had seen it clearly, he smiled and pointed to "Give up". In the next second, the points under his nickname began to be counted. Crazy deduction, from the original U-level personnel all the way down to E-level in a blink of an eye, almost falling below the E-level and being expelled from the Jungle A.

"You guy, did you have such a plan before?" Osamu Dazai said, looking at the man in front of him.

"Yeah, after all, in my opinion, that kind of boring kid game is so stupid that it makes people laugh." Gao Yuanyao deleted all the a's of the jungle in front of them, and he raised his hand and talked, " I hope that everyone in the world can have power... Unrealistic dreams, and this kind of arrogance that puts one's own will above everyone else's will really make me wonder if this guy is just in the second grade of middle school this year. And these more and more nonsense missions and the rules that if you fail the mission, you will be deducted a lot of points, really, hanging out with this group of brats will make me feel stupid."

"It's you, why don't you think about when you provoked this person and let him post something like this." Gao Yuanyao smiled and threw his mobile phone directly to the unknown policeman, "Okay, we let's go."

His calm attitude was a little too much, which made the three of Conan Edogawa on the side feel inexplicably shocked, and Kogoro Mori swallowed in a panic.

"Hey, you guys, why don't you hurry up and arrest him?" The members of the fantasy magic troupe over there finally couldn't help but said loudly.

Gao Yuanyao turned his head abruptly, and his sharp eyes swept across the people over there, making their angry look immediately become fearful, and then a dangerous smile appeared on Gao Yuan's face, "Well, In fact, I don’t need to deal with the rest of the matter, you just look forward to it to your heart’s content, looking forward to the grand performance called death that will befall you.”

This obvious threat made everyone startled except the members of the Armed Detective Agency, especially Edogawa Conan, who almost wanted to rush forward to ask what the person in front of him meant. He had seen the arrogant prisoner before. But it was the first time he had seen the criminal who was identified and even about to be arrested so arrogant.

"Goodck, a detective." When Gao Yuanyao was handcuffed by the police, he could still calmly say to the team of the Armed Detective Agency, "Well, I still hope not to see you again, although I I really want to be Moriarty, but I don’t want to fight against G yet, it’s too much trouble. The opponent I’m looking forward to, it’s best to be on a parallel line with me, and it’s a pity that I didn’t find it here.”

After finishing speaking, Gao Yuanyao followed the police and left. His back still looked like Shi Shiran, as if he was going to a high-end hotel instead of a prison at all.

Edogawa Ranpo took off the glasses on his face, and said in a steady tone: "That guy can't be locked up in prison, he will definitely come out."

"Yeah..." Osamu Dazai, who also didn't think that Gao Yuanyao would stay in prison honestly for a while, said the same, "But what that guy said really needs attention."

"Jungle...?" For a moment, the expressions on the faces of these two smart people became surprisingly consistent.
