Saturday, April 3rd, morning, Chinai Station, Chinai Town, Kamiiso-gun, Hokkaido, Hokuto No. 3, Car No. 3 Dormitory.

Mori, Hattori, Kazuba, Ran, and Sonoko left after eating their breakfast, and Fujiki Hideko came in to remove the tableware of Mori and the others, and put on French cuisine based on Ishigoshi beef, and then asked, "By the way, Miss Midaiko, I heard that the investigation will take a while, may I ask, do you need to transfer a locomotive to take this carriage of yours to leave first?"

"Huh?" said Maidiko looked at Yamazaki.

"Thanks, no need. "It's in the afternoon, so we're not in a hurry. ”

"Yes, I see. Hideko Fujiki said.

Yamazaki asked, "By the way, do you know the status of the investigation in the fourth car, can you tell me about it?"

"Yes, sir. Hideko Fujiki said, and then explained the status of the investigation in the fourth car.

"Fishing gear?" said Yamazaki.

"Is there any problem?" asked Midako, "is the prisoner Mr. Gaviet Richter?"

"It's very likely," Yamazaki said, "You see, first of all, he was the one who booked the ticket for Mr. Izumo, and although the fourth car is all luxury single first-class cars, it is also different due to the different locations, so although it is three tickets, choose one of the three, but which room he will stay in is actually determined at the time of booking." ”

"Well," said Midako after a moment's thought, "that's true. ”

"Secondly, I heard that Mr. Izumo was talking about business, and I guess it was noon, so I took the Hokuto train with a bedroom. Yamazaki said.

"Why is that?" asked Midaiko.

"Because of the state," Yamazaki said, "you can get a good night's sleep and refresh yourself by taking the Big Dipper, and if you fly by plane, you can fly in the morning." ”

"Then just fly in a day early. Mei Daiko said.

"How's that going to work? Yamazaki smiled, "That way, you will lose the upper hand and talk to people about business." Those who wait for others are often in a passive position. Coming from Tokyo to Hokkaido to negotiate business is already passive, and if you wait for another day, there will be no momentum. It's different when you take the Big Dipper, it's a sightseeing train, as long as you get to the venue at the right time, the momentum is suddenly different, as if to say, 'I'm just here to play, talk about business, this is just a ride', so you can get back the way. ”

"Ha, it's like a violent group negotiation on TV. Midaiko smiled and then asked, "Then why is Izumo-san still at the dining car so late?"

"I guess Mr. Katsu said to Mr. Izumo that someone stuffed a note or told him that he was going to tell Mr. Izumo who the ghost was in the jewelry store, and that Mr. Izumo should wait in the dining car and not leave, and that person would go and meet Mr. Izumo at the right time. "This matter is more important than business in a way, so Mr. Katsu stayed in the dining car and waited until the early hours of the morning." ”

"It makes sense. Mei Daiko said.

In fact, Mr. Katsu also booked a ticket for Mr. Asama, and said something similar to him, Mr. Izumo asked him to get on the Hokuto train, and would go to him at night to talk about the inner ghost, and would pay a large sum of money to make him wait, and would also provide a name. Yamazaki said.

"As a result, Mr. Asama was waiting for Mr. Katsu. Mei Daiko said.

"Not bad. Yamazaki said, " After Mr. Katsu knocked Mr. Asama down, he took off his clothes and set up the scene, which was that Mr. Asama was pierced by the fishing line around his waist, and was suspended from the car window with the fixed furnishings of his bedroom as the fulcrum, and both ends of the fishing line were in Mr. Katsu's room, and he used the fishing rod to send one end of the fishing line to Mr. Asama's bedroom, and then went to arrange it, and then sent the fishing line back to his bedroom with a fishing rod, and then tied the end of the line, and then went to Mr. Asama's bedroom, made a live buckle with another fishing line and attached it to the door, attached to the fishing line that would be cut, and then pretended to be Mr. Ka-etsu and went to the dining car to commit murder, and then came back and closed the door, the illusion of jumping out of the car to escape. ”

"I see, he must have taken the opportunity to go back to his room and cut the fishing line, and then the fishing line was taken away by Mr. Asama. Mei Daiko said.

"That's right, but he only cut one of the looped lines, huh?" Yamazaki said with a frown.

"What's wrong, brother, is there anything wrong?" asked Midaiko.

Yamazaki said to Hideko Fujiki, "Miss Fujiki, please immediately find someone to take a look under the fourth carriage and make sure that there is no problem with the wheels." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away. Hideko Fujiki walked away quickly.

"Why is that?" asked Midako, and then said in surprise, "By the way, those threads may be tangled in the wheels." ”

"yes, it's dangerous. Yamazaki shook his head and sighed. ……

On the other side, car No. 4, outside Asama's bedroom.

The police brought in the names of the people from the Hokkaido Railway, and the Nishimura Police Department asked the police officers to verify the personnel in groups, and the names of the people who booked the tickets were correct. Asama Yasuji's registered name is Asai Kishichi, and some people did not take out their ID cards, such as Miss Akechi, that is, Yukiko, and the Nishimura Police Department had no choice but to let the police take pictures of these people and leave fingerprints. Yukiko was also photographed, taking off her sunglasses and hat.

After that, the car palm said to the Nishimura police department: "Officer, can you leave the bus now?" The passengers are already very dissatisfied. ”

"This," Nishimura Police Department scratched their heads, "Okay, you can go." Then he looked around at the passengers in car No. 4 around him, as well as the passengers who came to see the excitement, including the six Maori people, and said loudly, "If you think of anything, no matter what it is, as long as it is a strange thing that you found before and after the crime, please notify the police as soon as possible." ”

"Oh, if so, after the incident, shortly after the gunshot," said Miss Wise, "I could see through the window that there was one outside the train, and it wasn't one, this ......."

"What is it?" the Nishimura Police Department immediately asked.

"Well," said Miss Wise after a moment's thought, "I don't know what to say for a while, but it's outside the window, and I'm just glancing at it, and when I look again, it's gone." ”

"Hey, you're not kidding me, are you?" asked the Nishimura Police Department angrily.

"How is that possible. "Anyway, it's a lot of slender things." ”

"Forget it," said the Nishimura police department, "if you remember, call me." As he spoke, he took a business card and handed it to Miss Wise. ……

Car No. 2.

Looking out the window, Conan found a problem, a big problem, the fish in his mind, Kagoshi Ritoshi and Mrs. Izumo were going to get off the train and leave with the police, while he was on the train and was about to go to Hakodate City. In desperation, Conan excused himself to go to the bathroom, left the Maori Five, and slipped away to Miss Wise's bedroom again.

Car No. 4, Miss Wise's bedroom.

Listening to what Conan said, Yukiko smiled a little gloatingly: "Okay, the bait was spilled, but the fish ran away." ”

"Stop laughing, call that guy and tell him to keep an eye on him. Conan said angrily.

"Don't be stupid, he's almost in Sapporo now. "Yukiko said so, but he still called with a mobile phone, but he didn't get through, and he wasn't in the service area.

"Forget it, there's no evidence anyway, it's useless to keep an eye on him, I'll go back first. Conan said helplessly. Then he came out of the dormitory, and then he ran into Hattori and was taken aback, "Why are you here?"

"Is there anything you want to say?" Hattori asked with a smile, "What news did you hear?"

"Huh?" Conan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and understood that Hattori did not suspect Miss Akechi's identity, so he said, "Let's go back to the room." ”……

Moments later, compartment 3 and bedroom 4.

Conan briefly explained his reasoning, and Hattori nodded and said, "It's the same as I thought, so Miss Wise should have seen the fishing line being recycled." ”

What do you see, it would be nice to see it, Conan thought to himself, and then suddenly thought of a question, and immediately his face changed greatly, "No, it's not good, I can't start." So saying, he ran out.

"What is this for!" Hattori was taken aback, then reacted, his face changed dramatically, and chased him out. For the strength and speed of the train, when the wheels rotate at high speed, the fishing line may not have a big impact on it, but when it stops and starts again, then God knows what the situation is, and it will affect the wheels to get the wheels off the track, and then let the train derail, and they are in danger of being on the train.

Conan ran all the way to the No. 1 bedroom, "Yamazaki, you hurry up and let the column ......" Speaking of this, Conan suddenly found that in addition to Yamazaki and Mei Daiko in the bedroom, there was also a person eating steak, a handsome middle-aged man with black-framed glasses and a mustache, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his finger when he pointed at the man's mouth.

"Yamazaki, ...... on wheels" Hattori ran in, and before he could finish speaking, he saw a large ball of fishing line on the table, so he stopped.

"Hi! good morning. The man greeted the two with a smile and went on to his own business, eating steak.

"Conan, do you know if you want to use honorifics, call your brother?" Midaiko admonished.

"Oh, oh. Conan raised his triangular eyes and stared at the snickering middle-aged man.

"What's going on?" Hattori asked Yamazaki, "who is this gentleman?"

"Novelist Mr. Yusaku Kudo. Yamazaki laughed.

"Kudo?" Hattori glanced at Conan and confirmed to Yamazaki, "Could it be that he ......"

"Yes, he's Shinichi Kudo's father. Yamazaki laughed.

"Oh, it turned out to be my uncle, fortunately, fortunately. Hattori smiled, "I'm Hattori Heiji, please advise." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Yusaku laughed.

"Now, what is this?" asked Conan, looking at the fishing line.

"These fishing lines were discovered by Uncle Kudo. Mei Daiko smiled. "My brother asked Miss Fujiki to look at the wheels of the fourth car, and when they arrived, they happened to meet Uncle Kudo. ”

"I happened to be nearby, and after hearing about the incident, I thought that I might go and check it out. Yusaku laughed.

"So, you've deduced it too?" Hattori asked Yamazaki.

"Yes, after hearing that there is fishing tackle. Yamazaki said.

Hattori said, "You took pictures of the lines before you took them off, right? ”

"I've asked Miss Fujiki to take the photo and notify the police of the person who stayed in the car. Yamazaki smiled, "In the name of the Hokkaido Railway." ”

"Well, I'll go back first. Hattori finished and left.

After a while, Yusaku Kudo finished his late breakfast and took his leave, saying that he had seen a friend, went to say hello, and borrowed Conan under the pretext of leading the way.

Moments later, Hideko Fujiki came with the police and took the fishing line.

Soon after, Hideko Fujiki came in again and reported that the Big Dipper III had been inspected and was ready to go.

"Let's go, then. Yamazaki said. ……
