Chapter 875: Mysterious Murder
"Woo——!"
With a long whistle, the Suzuki Limited Express train spewed water out of the station, but unlike a regular steam train, the train traveled very fast and smoothly.
As an ornamental train, the train will not stop in the middle until it reaches the mysterious end.
Except for the dining car, all the carriages of the train are separate compartments, and Gao Cheng's room is room B of the No. 8 first-class car, but he did not stay in the private room after getting on the train, but found a window position in the dining car and enjoyed dessert while enjoying dessert.
As for car 8 room B, it will already be occupied by a group of women......
Gao Cheng twisted his eyebrows and rolled them.
Compared to the room of a group of women, it is much quieter and more feeling.
"I've been behind you...... Generation, it turns out that this is the light, and human beings can ......"
"Transform!"
Sure enough, it's the best special effects drama, if it's made into a movie......
Gao Cheng's eyes were red, and he turned to the next page with emotion.
"To be continued......
"Actually, it's in such a place!!"
"Oh?" Amuro sat down opposite Gao Cheng, glanced at Gao Cheng's hand and said with a smile, "Being able to take time to read like this, Detective Joto is not the same as Mori Sensei, who prefers to read newspapers. ”
"Mr. Amuro?" Gao Cheng's body stiffened, and he raised his head in surprise, "Did you come up too?" ”
"Yes, after all, I'm also the chief disciple of Mr. Maori, and I just happened to grab a ticket on the Internet again," Amuro scratched his hair and smiled, and asked Gao Cheng suspiciously, "But aren't you interested in Detective Joto?" ”
"Huh?"
"It's a mystery puzzle that was announced during the train journey.,I've heard that every time a random passenger is selected to play the role of a prisoner and a victim.,And then an incident happens.,The other passengers are detectives.,Find the prisoner before you reach the end ......"
"Incident?" Gao Cheng suddenly put it away, "Is there still this kind of activity in the car?" ”
I see, so last time the client said that he was a detective, it would be more interesting.
"Hmph," Maori Kogoro glued two handfuls of the upturned beard of the great detective Poirot, and proudly walked into the dining car, "Although everyone is a detective, but to say that the real protagonist, of course, is still me, the famous detective Maori Pololang, no matter what happens in the car, I will solve the puzzle perfectly!" ”
"Mao, Maori Pololang?"
Gao Cheng looked at the confident uncle in front of him with black lines on his head.
Think of yourself as Poirot, do you want to make this train the "Orient Express"?
If the "Murder on the Orient Express" really happens, it will be in trouble......
"It's worthy of a Maori teacher," Amuro said with admiration as he looked at his uncle, "Do you already have a clue now?" ”
"Hmph, of course."
Kogoro Mori sat down next to him with his head tilted up, one eye catching a glimpse of the food on the passenger table on the other side, and his mouth watered.
"But until then, it's hard to try the food and the wine bar first."
"Hey, Hey, ......"
……
"Congratulations, you've been chosen to play the detective, and in 10 minutes, there will be an incident in room B of car 7, start investigating......"
In the train corridor, Conan took a card and walked with Ayumi to Room B of car 7.
"Strange, didn't you say that all the passengers were detectives?"
He remembered that Room B of car No. 7 seemed to be the one who was robbed of the first-class car by Gao Cheng.
"That's the ...... that bother"
Conan knocked on the door of Room B, pulled it open and shouted, "Excuse me......"
"Wow, stupid!" The fat man with a handful of goatees in the room panicked, "Don't come in!! ”
“biubiu!”
Suddenly, two small gunshots rang out, and a man wearing a mask with a silenced pistol fired two shots at the fat man, and before Conan could react, he rushed out of the door and fled in a hurry.
"Chase!"
"This ......"
Conan slumped his eyelids and an excited Ayumi chased after the suspicious man.
It's not so much a mystery mystery as it is a ghost catching game, right?
It took a few people to chase after a few carriages before the man was completely lost, because the carriages were all rooms, and they didn't know which room they slipped into, and there was no one in the corridor.
The conductor noticed a few children, and hurriedly approached and asked, "Is this your first time riding this train?" ”
"yes......"
"It's better to stay in the room in that case, because the announcement in the room is about to come out of this reasoning puzzle." The commander suggested.
"Huh?" Conan was stunned, "Hasn't the incident happened yet?" ”
"Well, this time it should be an hour later......"
"What's going on?"
After Conan confirmed with the commander, his face changed, and he hurriedly ran back to car No. 7.
If it starts an hour later, that's what you just did......
In room B of car No. 7, Conan opened the door with a heavy expression, but the next moment he was stunned to find that there were Xiaolan inside.
The garden, Xiao Wai, and even Shiliang are innocent.
"It's ......"
"Conan?"
Yuan Zi held the teacup, saw Conan in a hurry, lowered his eyelids and said, "I said, remember to knock on the door before entering the lady's room!" ”
"But," Conan said bewildered, "isn't this car number seven?" ”
"Aha? Here is car number 8! ”
"That's right," Shira said with a pure smile, "I just came over to play......"
"Yes, is that so?"
Conan closed the door with a question mark on his face and left, meditating back in the hallway.
"It's strange, I shouldn't have counted the wrong cars......"
"There's no way around it," Mitsuhiko comforted, "The number of the mysterious train car is only on the outer body, and there is only one letter on the door of the room......
"Click!" As he spoke, the door of Room D of the No. 7 carriage next to him suddenly opened from the inside, and Dr. Asa called a few people at the door.
"How? Is the mystery puzzle solved? ”
Conan stopped in complete confusion: "Doctor, is this room in our room in car number 6?!" ”
"yes," Dr. Asa said, stunned, and stepped aside, "Look, the snack you were eating is still on the table, what's wrong?" ”
"Hey, Hey, ......"
Conan's face turned pale.
"We came from car number 8 and only walked one car, right?"
"Car No. 7...... Did car number 7 disappear while driving?! ”
……
"Poof! Did you see Conan's expression? ”
On the other side, after Conan left, several women in the room showed knowing smiles, only Xiao Ai still had a face that did not wake up.
"But I really didn't expect that these children would be selected as detectives, and I actually want to be the whole city senior," Shira Zhenjun smiled with his arms crossed, and turned his gaze to the little mourner who barely made a sound, "By the way, speaking of which, this is the first time we have met like this......"
Shiliang Zhenchun bent down and approached Xiao Ai: "You are the child named Gray Yuan from the Chenghu senior's family, right?" I've always wanted to find a chance to talk to you, but you and Seniors Joto went back to the camp last time......"
Xiao Ai shrank back, and the garden pulled Xiao Ai and smiled: "Although this child talks like an adult, he is actually quite shy. ”
"Really?"
Sera Zhenchun looked thoughtfully at Xiao Ai, who was hiding next to the garden, and then Conan ran back outside and knocked on the door.
"Huh?" Conanra looked at the door and saw a few gardens, sweating weakly and asked, "Is this really ......?"
"It's the No. 8 car!" Sonoko threw Conan out of the room with his waist crossed, "Go back to your room and stay honestly, little kid!" ”
"What the hell is going on?" Mitsuhiko, who was following Conan, was also confused, and looked at the sleepy conductor at the end of the corridor and said confusedly, "Could it be that the conductor who made a mistake?" ”
"No...... right"
Conan held his chin and thought about it, opened the door again, and without waiting for the garden to get angry, he preemptively said: "This room should be room B of car 7, yes, Sister Yuanzi, you also got the instruction card, right?" The card presumably says that the person in this room temporarily swaps rooms with the person playing the victim, and that the detectives who come to investigate are not to be found out......"
"That's amazing!" Without waiting for Yuan Zi to refute, Xiaolan couldn't help but applaud, "It's worthy of Conan, you know it so soon!" There was a knock on the door, and then there was a letter with an instruction card on the outside of the door, just like Conan said. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yuan Zi said unhappily, "It is said that in room B of car 7, the passenger who was selected as the victim is waiting, and asked us to exchange rooms with him to make the reasoning more lively!" ”
"When I came here to meet the person who played the victim, Sera happened to see ......"
"In other words, the passenger who played 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.,I guess it's the passenger's prank.,Remember to complain about your room being robbed before getting on the bus......
"What about Brother Joto and Uncle Kogoro?" Conan looked into the room and asked, "Didn't they come?" ”
"Seniors didn't know where to go in the first place, but," Ran explained, "the passenger who played the victim asked Dad to pick up the food truck for the time being, saying that he wanted him to be the detective who solved the mystery at the end." ”
"But it's weird, isn't it?" Mitsuhiko said, "I said that everyone would become detectives, and the commander said that it would be an hour before ......"
"Anyway," suggested Shira Masumi, "tell the commander the mystery of the disappearance of the corpse first, so that you can know what is going on." ”
"Don't you 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 is like stepping into a new world, as long as it is free things, this uncle has always been eager to eat, not to mention that the wine and food here are still very high-end.
"Oh, it's great both food and wine!" The uncle smiled and said, "It's like a dream!" ”
Gao Cheng rolled his eyelids and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a peeping gaze, but when he turned around, he didn't find anything.
"And then, Mori-sensei," Amuro asked Mori-Kogoro, "what do you know?" ”
"I'll tell you this later, it's a mystery of the disappearance of the carriage! Hohoo! ”
"Really?"
The train roared into a tunnel, the light dimmed, and the dining car and the corridor were softly lit.
Belmode, disguised, hid in the hallway outside the dining car, his chest heaving and his eyes fluttering violently.
Sure enough, it was the same feeling as it was at that time......
There was a strange dangerous aura on Gao Cheng's body, as if he had been face-to-face with a human being, especially the calm eyes that seemed to be under control.
Could it be the same person?
Although it usually looks very ordinary, the feeling of inadvertentness, the feeling that makes people fear from the bones, is not wrong, and there is a strange sense of familiarity......
……
"Attention passengers......"
After the train left the long tunnel, a radio was suddenly remembered.
"I hesitate that there was an accident in the car just now, this train has changed the original plan, it is expected to be temporarily stopped at the nearest station, after the stop, please stay in your room before receiving instructions, try to avoid going out, thank you for your cooperation, we apologize for the inconvenience......
"In addition, the mystery puzzle that was scheduled to be held will also be canceled."
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro held the dinner knife in a daze, "Is it canceled?" ”
"Something seems to have happened," Amuro stood up with a slight look on his face and proposed, "Let's go check it out first." ”
The passengers left the dining car one after another, and at this time, the uncle also received a call from his daughter Xiaolan.
It's a homicide.
The scene is in room B of car 8......
Gao Cheng walked out of the corridor with his uncle, and suddenly noticed the crowd walking past the familiar figure of Okiya, and finally entered a private room.
Actually followed here, this guy asked for leave today, I didn't expect it to be in this car, and I wasn't afraid of colliding with Amuro.
Was it him who had the helmet just now?
"What's wrong?" Amuro asked, looking back, confused.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just like seeing an acquaintance."
The incident occurred in car No. 8, and according to the broadcast requirements, most of the passengers returned to their rooms.
"In other words," Gao Cheng saw Shira Zhenjun and Conan at the scene of car No. 8 and understood, "Before the reasoning puzzle began, someone set up a game and let the victim change to room B of car No. 8, was the victim still alive at that time?" ”
"Yes," Conan nodded, "Sister Xiaolan said that after exchanging with them, the victim came to car No. 8, and when we found out, this uncle became like this, and someone shot him through his temple......
"The problem was that there was still a burglar chain in this room at the time, and we forcibly broke the chain to get in...... Although the method of hanging the anti-leegh chain is still a mystery, there are no burn marks around the temples of the corpse, and with a pistol as long as a silencer, it is difficult to commit suicide without traces, and generally people who want to commit suicide do not use a silencer......"
"Not only that," Sera Masumi answered, "there are still traces of a bullet on the sofa opposite, probably to make the victim's hands or cuffs stained with the debris of the launch, disguised as suicide, so he held the hand of the deceased and dodged another shot......
"Of course, the criminal's hands and cuffs will also get debris, but the hands can be washed off immediately with water, and the clothes will probably be thrown away......
"The only thing that is confirmed is that the criminal is still on this train with a speed of 80 kilometers per hour!"
"Hmm."
Gao Cheng followed to check the scene, and then looked at the scenery that passed by in a flash.
The time of the crime happened to be through the tunnel, and the surroundings were dark, which was the best time to do it.
In this way, the other party was worried that the sleeping Kogoro would find out, so he specially tricked the uncle into going to the dining car, and it was really a shame that the uncle was stupid to believe it......
"What? You have to go to Nagoya to park?! Sera asked the captain in a loud voice, "Didn't you say stop at the nearest station?" ”
"This, this," the conductor said wiping his sweat, "when I contacted the advisor of the train owner, Jiroyoshi Suzuki, he said that he would personally arrest the prisoner at Nagoya Station......
"Don't worry," Mori Kogoro interjected, pinching his mustache, "Before we reach Nagoya, I, Mori Poloro, will solve this Suzuki Express murder perfectly!" Let's wait and see! ”
Gao Cheng ignored the uncle who was bragging outside, and still stood in room B with a frown.
Murder in a Closed Room......
Since there was a special design for the victim to be transferred to this place, it means that there is a reason why it must be done.
In the past, the victim did make an appointment for room B of this No. 8 car, but this time he was snatched away by the queue.
In other words, it is likely that it is a modus operandi that can only be used here.
What the hell is the problem......
Gao Cheng slowly exited the room, his eyes swept over every detail of the room, and then looked at the entire corridor of carriage 8.
His eyes tightened, Gao Cheng turned to the commander and asked, "Mr. Commander, have you ever seen the victim Mr. Murohashi at that time?" ”
