On Friday evening, the Silver Meteor No. 1 train, a fast train passing through Hakodate and Asahikawa to Hokkaido's Dead Bone Marsh, slowly departed from Tokyo.

Gao Cheng took Gray Yuan to find the narrow sleeper car, stared at the sleepers distributed side by side on both sides of the aisle, and slept on his No. 3 lower berth with his face down.

"Sleep in a place like this where you can't even stretch your legs...... Just know what free travel is not reliable. ”

"Originally, the ticket was included," Gray Yuan climbed to the top bunk, quite satisfied, "and this time it was because I got 200 points that I got the opportunity to travel this time." ”

When it comes to scores, Gao Cheng's heart is full of complaints: "If you watch a magic show, Tokyo also has it, do you need to go to Hokkaido?" ”

"I heard that the fantasy magic troupe that performed magic this time is very famous abroad, and I go back to Japan to perform once a year," said Gray Yuan, closing the curtain, "You can bear with it and get some sleep." ”

"Hmm."

Gao Cheng curled up on the lower bunk, helping the little girl find her father for the past few days, but in the end not only did he not make any money, but he also made a sum upside down, and now he is indeed very tired.

When the body is tired, the heart is even more tired.

Next time, if there is such a commission again, you must refuse it with all your heart......

"Please accept this blood-red rose." Suddenly, a strange man wearing a mask appeared in the aisle, his body was wrapped tightly in a long robe, and only his eyes were exposed from the top and bottom of his body, and his voice was strange, which startled Gao Cheng.

"What?"

"The rose is for you, please accept it." The strange man held a card in his gloved left hand and reached out in front of Gao Cheng, turning his hand to conjure a bouquet of roses.

"Magic?" Gao Cheng took the rose in a daze, and watched the strange man perform rose magic to the passengers on both sides of the aisle one by one.

Although I knew it was a deceptive thing, I couldn't see the weird man's tricks at all......

"That's great," the passengers were pleasantly surprised, "he's definitely from the Fantasy Magic Troupe." ”

"I've heard that there are professional magicians performing magic tricks in the carriage on this train, but I didn't think it was true."

"The railway company specially invited it to attract customers, after all, it is not in a recession everywhere now."

The stranger suddenly turned around and snapped his fingers, and the roses in everyone's hands automatically snapped off and fell to the ground, leaving only the flower branches in their hands.

The passengers were stunned and applauded in amazement.

"Magic train?"

Gao Cheng silently stared at the back of the stranger leaving on the curtain call.

What's going on? There was a bad feeling when the trip first started......

The next day, Gao Cheng was woken up by a commotion, only to find that he had arrived in Hokkaido, and he could see a vast field and herdsmen busy in the pastures outside the window.

Yawned, and went to the dining car for breakfast with Gray Yuan.

"I didn't sleep well all night, and I was woken up in the morning, it's really ......"

"Huh?" Officer Twilight and Takagi sat by the window on the right side to eat, and stood up suspiciously when they heard the voice, "Brother Joto! Why are you here too? ”

"Officer Twilight?" Gao Cheng saw Twilight and Takagi, and instantly woke up, and subconsciously looked around, "There was no case, right?" It's okay with me this time......"

"What are you talking about, Brother Joto?"

Twilight wiped her sweat and pulled Gao Cheng to sit down opposite, "Takagi and I only came to investigate because we received a threatening letter. ”

"Threatening letters?"

"This is it."

Takagi pulled out a photo, a photo of a marionette with twisted joints that looked a little oozing, and a photo of threatening letters.

"Next weekend on the 28th, the train to Hokkaido's Dead Bone Marsh will be enchanted, allowing you to enjoy the magic of death and horror...... Hell Puppeteer ......"

"This puppet was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department in a box with a threatening letter," Twilight said in a deep voice, "Outside the box, thank you for the threatening letter, whether it was a prank or not, just in case I came over." ”

Gao Cheng looked at the photo for a while, and then said, "Dusk Police Department, did you see a person performing magic tricks in the sleeper yesterday?" Not only did he hide his body, but even his voice seemed to have been processed through the transformer......"

Twilight shook her head regretfully, "We investigated it afterwards, and no one knew who he was. ”

"That's right," Gao Cheng put down the photo, touched his hungry stomach and said, "Let's eat first, it's quite luxurious to get a dining car here, and it has to compete with the dining car of the Big Dipper." ”

"Oh?" Twilight was surprised, "Brother Chenghu has also sat on the Big Dipper?" ”

"Yes, I sat in Hokkaido with Uncle Maori last time."

Gao Cheng secretly smiled bitterly.

It was as if something happened to him every time he took the train.

If Japan specializes in making a summary of train incidents, he should be the detective who solves the most cases, right?

I looked down at the menu prices.

"Well, is Officer Twilight a treat this time?"

"Huh?" Twilight froze for a few seconds, and laughed, "You can order whatever you want, I haven't thanked you much for the last Twin Towers skyscraper incident......

"What's so embarrassing about that?" Gao Cheng scratched the back of his head, "Just the most expensive ......"

Twilight's face twitched: Like Maori, I'm still worried about the bonus.

A food truck waiter came up with a plate, "Is this Mr. Twilight?" This is the rose salad you just ordered. ”

"Huh?" Twilight watched inexplicably as the waiter put down the plate, "I haven't ordered this, how do you eat this?" ”

"Is this really edible?" Gao Cheng tried to poke a bouquet of roses on the salad, and almost got a finger stab.

As he spoke, a strange man in an overcoat and a captain's hat walked into the dining car: "Everyone, sorry to disturb your meal, Robert said he wanted to say good morning to all the passengers......"

Gao Cheng stopped caring about the rose salad and looked up at the comer.

The coat is fat and loose and completely covers the head and neck, and it is impossible to see the appearance at all, but it looks very much like the train conductor in the old animation.

The strange man stopped at the Gao Cheng table and stretched out his hand, and suddenly a little puppet boy poked his head out of his pocket and greeted happily: "Good morning, how did you sleep?" ”

"Oh!" Twilight's eyes widen in amazement, looking at the lifelike puppet boy.

"How did you do that?"

Gao Cheng got closer to see how the puppet was manipulated, but the weirdo directly retracted his hand and took off his hat.

"Sorry to bother you," a young short-haired girl appeared from her loose coat and smiled softly at Gao Cheng, "Next, the members of our Fantasy Magic Troupe will perform a magic trick for everyone, so please enjoy the ......"

Twilight watched the girl turn away, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really not easy for this kid to enter a first-class magic troupe at such a young age." ”

"Isn't it magic?" Gao Cheng propped up his chin, "Actually, I will too, a unique magic ......"

"Really, Brother Joto?" Twilight exclaimed in surprise, "I've never seen that before." ”

Ash Yuan drank the juice and glanced at Gao Cheng lightly: "The magic you said shouldn't be a broken baseball machine, right?" Indeed, no one else would. ”

"I said it was an accident......
