"That was when I was at the door of Mr. Noto in Room A," explained the commander, "because the call bell rang, and I arrived at the door of Room A, only to be scolded by Mr. Noto for not calling me......

"Just then, the door to room B next door opened, and Mr. Murohashi looked over to see who he was talking to on the phone."

The train still weaves through the countryside at a high speed, leaving behind a long trail of white smoke, and in this particular crime arena, the prisoner is destined to be unable to escape, but first the mystery of the method needs to be solved, and then the reason why the victim Murohashi was killed in this car.

"Yes," said in room A of car No. 8, the horse-faced bearded man with deep eye sockets can climb to Taice, who was one of the people Gao Cheng had seen on the platform before, and said in the face of Gao Cheng and others' questions, "I also heard Mr. Murohashi's voice through the door at that time, because I didn't expect him to live in the room next to me, and I was also taken aback, because I heard that room B seemed to be cut in line by a detective......"

"Yes, yes?"

Mori Kogoro asked, "But why do you lie that you didn't ring the bell even though you rang it?" ”

"I really didn't press it, it was the captain himself who came over inexplicably......"

"Actually," explained the commander, "only the light in room A was broken, so when the bell rang, I knocked on Mr. Noto's door because none of the lights were on......

Gao Cheng looked up at the call light above the door.

If you ring the bell inside, the call light will come on, which is similar to that on an airplane, but it's ......

"Why is this lamp the only one broken? You should check it when you start out, right? ”

"Well," said the captain, too, distressed, "there is a wagon behind the first-class car, and there are usually spare light bulbs, but this time I didn't find them." ”

"Is Mr. Captain in charge of the various pre-departure inspections?"

"Yes, like the running water in the room, two or three conductors are responsible for checking it...... Speaking of which, it seems that the conductor's uniform is also missing. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Gao Cheng frowned as he thought about it.

That is, it is very likely that the prisoner pretended to be a conductor and did something......

According to the conductor, when the train passed through the tunnel, he first talked to Noto in Room A because of the call bell, and then the bell rang again after the doors of Room A and Room B were closed, this time in Room E, and the conductor immediately ran over when he saw the lights on.

Jasmine Izuba, who lives in room E, is a fashionable woman who appeared with the bearded man Noto before, wearing two big hoop earrings and eyelashes that are particularly drawn, but her personality is a little bad, in the words of the commander, she is a squeamish princess disease.

The reason why Izubo rang the bell was because he heard a strange sound in the room, and he looked for the commander but did not allow the captain to enter the room, and after complaining, he found an alarm watch in the gap of the sofa.

"I called him over to complain! I found it afterwards! Izuba Jasmine shouted at Gao Cheng who came to the door, "I can't stand others violating my domain!" ”

"Oh," Mori Kogoro concluded, "is that Mr. Captain alone in the hallway, but he never saw the suspicious person who entered Room B where the victim was?" ”

"So," said the captain, "when I heard Miss Bo's complaint, the farthest door of Room B had been opened, as if someone was peeping through the door......

"The farthest door should be Mr. Noto's room A, right?"

"Well, and before I saw that suspicious figure, the maid in room D happened to push Ms. Xiaoling out in a wheelchair to go out to the other end, maybe she will see something......"

"The door to Room A?"

Ms. Xiaorong is an old woman wearing a hat and veil, and her face under the veil looks faintly like that of an old witch.

"We didn't see a door open as we passed, and we certainly didn't see any suspicious people."

"Yes," said the maid, "only Miss Izuba's door was open. ”

"That's weird......"

Conan pondered: "Before we went to room B, we happened to pass by the grandmother at the entrance of car No. 8, and we didn't see the door of room A open, did Mr. Captain really see the door of room A?" ”

The commander said distressedly: "There should be nothing wrong, although the light was very dark at that time, by the way, before you came, Mr. Anton from Room C also came to see the situation, maybe he saw it." ”

"Mr. Anton?"

Gao Cheng met the glasses man at the station before in Room C, the clerk's glasses and the Hitler-like mustache under his nose were particularly eye-catching.

"Yes," Anton responded, "because Miss Izuba's roar came to my room, so I came out to take a look, and I thought something had happened, and I don't know if the door of room A was opened, because I didn't look that way, and the train was entering the tunnel at that time, and the light was very dim......"

Gao Chenghanmao stood up unexpectedly, his thinking suddenly accelerated as if he was stimulated, and when he left Room C, he looked back at the man with glasses.

Sometimes there is also this unique reaction towards the prisoner, indicating that he has sensed that there is something wrong with the man.

Actually, it was a little strange when I was still on the platform.

This man ......

Gao Cheng looked at Conan, who was thinking deeply: "When you came over, did you see Mr. Anton going out?" ”

"No," replied Conan, aking up, "he was already in the hallway at that time, but it seems that he had just closed the door to Room C......"

"That's right," Gao Cheng thought for a moment, stopped the captain and asked, "Mr. Captain, are these passengers regular customers?" ”

"Yes, they're the first to book this first-class car every year, and they book the same room every time."

"Why?"

"I said," the uncle stared at the captain suspiciously, "is that you?" Let the prisoner sneak into room B, although it is a secret room, in fact, there is a secret door to the next room and the like, so I will book the same room every time! ”

"Huh? There are no secret doors in the car?! ”

"That is, the passengers just now were all gathered in Room B, and everyone shot the victim! Right? ”

"That's, isn't it?" The commander exclaimed, "What the hell are you talking about?" ”

"That's what I wrote in my script!" The uncle scolded loudly, "Admit it honestly! ”

"You're talking about the script of the Orient Express murder case......"

Gao Cheng opened his eyelids and opened his uncle, and continued to ask the commander, "Is there any special reason for those people?" Every year. ”

"Yes, yes," the captain quickly explained, "This Suzuki Express was built five years ago, and I heard that the first-class car was specially made by a capitalist friend of Suzuki Jiroyoshi......

"Although it is a first-class car, it is actually only relatively spacious, because the capitalist is a big fan of the Orient Express murder, so he wants his family to experience this mysterious train with him."

"So, those guests just now......"

"A month before the first run of the train, almost all of the family died in a fire during the birthday party, and only Ms. Xiaoren, the maid and 4 guests were rescued. The commander added.

"Are those four guests just a few people?" Mori Kogoro said in a deep voice, "If this murder is revenge related to that fire, it will be more and more like the Orient Express murder, and I, Mori Polorolang, ......"

"Anyway," Gao Cheng interrupted, "let's investigate the fire again, the police at the place of the incident should still have information on the rescued people." ”

Before questioning the bearded man in room A, Gao Cheng returned to room B again.

Because of his relationship on the side of the dining car, his understanding of events is destined to be less intuitive than Conan.

But there is no doubt that the time of the crime and several seemingly unrelated situations are related to the case.

First there is room A, then room E......

From the beginning to the end, it was supposed to avoid the sight of the captain in the corridor, leading the captain to room A, because the door of room B blocked the view, and the prisoner could enter room B, and when the captain arrived in room E, the prisoner took the opportunity to leave room B.

Moreover, the prisoner should have known that Miss Izubo would not let the captain into the room, so he specially set up some kind of trick to deceive the captain's vision.

In general, the prisoner should be someone who regularly books the room in this carriage and is very familiar with the others.

Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

I'm afraid that at that time, it was the prisoner who was talking to the victim, the fat man with the goatee, calling the victim to open the door, and then directly entering room B to talk to the victim under the pretext that the tunnel signal was not good.

The only question is why the captain didn't see the prisoner leave Room B.

And then there's the mystery of the secret room in Room B, which is like magic......

Generally speaking, it is not possible to hang an anti-leeching chain on the outside, and even if you do have a hot-leash attached, your hand can still reach through the crack in the door.

Gao Cheng approached the door lock to check.

He had double-checked before, and there were no special signs of tools on the door.

As for doing things on the anti-leeching chain, for example, in fact, the chain is already broken, but it is just sticking in an inconspicuous place, which is not impossible, but it was Shira Masumi and Conan who forcibly pulled the anti-theft chain at that time, and if there is a problem, it should be immediately detected.

Unless......

Gao Cheng followed Conan with both hands.

Another possibility is to take advantage of preconceived notions.

The more common psychological traps in magic are all to take advantage of the audience's preconceived notions, and what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth.

Yes, in general, you can't put a hotlink on the outside...... This is generally the case, and this is changed if the hotlink is artificially lengthened.

On the surface, it doesn't look like much of a difference, but in fact, you can already put your finger in the crack of the door and hang the anti-leeching chain.

Room B has a total of 6 sections of anti-leeching including the torn part, while the other rooms ......

"The fire 5 years ago?" The bearded man in room A looked at the few people who came over again, and said stunned, "Does that have anything to do with me?" ”

"It's useless to play stupid," Mori Kogoro snorted, "We have just called the Shizuoka Prefecture police where the incident took place to confirm, and your name is on the list of fire survivors, right, Mr. Noto Taize, a former Self-Defense Force officer and a capitalist who died in the fire and a kendo friend?!" ”

The bearded man's face was sweating: "Yes, that's right, in fact, it's not deliberately hiding anything, the wound on my face is the ...... left at that time"

"Can you tell me what you brought with you?" The uncle asked, "I heard that you seemed to have something on your back when you came, did you arrange the props in the secret room or something?" ”

"It's just an ordinary bamboo knife in there!" The bearded man hurriedly turned around and took out the bag and argued, "Look, I made an appointment with my friend in Nagoya to try it out!" ”

"Verse 5." Gao Cheng bent down to check the door and said.

"Huh?" The uncle looked at Gao Cheng inexplicably, "What 5 knots?" ”

Gao Cheng didn't respond to the uncle, and looked at the remaining room with a frown: "Let's go, next is Room C." ”

"I said jodo boy, it's not over here yet...... Hey, hey! ”

"That's right," said the glasses man in Room C to Gao Cheng, who came to him, "I was saved with Mr. Murohashi in that fire, and I didn't say anything about it because no one asked me." ”

"Hmm," Mori Kogoro was very annoyed by Gao Cheng's unauthorized actions, and looked into Room C, "What's in that big black bag in your room?" ”

"If I was commissioned to do the appraisal, but unfortunately it was a fake......

"Can we check it out?"

"Yes, but ......"

"It's so heavy." Mori Kogoro took out the frame from his black bag and unexpectedly felt a little struggling.

"yes, because the frame is pure gold." The man with glasses explained.

"The ...... of Pure Gold"

Uncle's eyebrows jumped.

"By the way, what is your relationship with the capitalist who died in the fire?"

"Oh, that gentleman is a famous collector of paintings, and he once introduced me to many paintings, but most of them were destroyed in that fire......"

The man with glasses stood next to him, paused, and then asked, "Well, was Mr. Murohashi really killed?" Because it's a secret room......"

"Yes, although I don't know the method of the secret room, but it should be that he killed him," the uncle touched his beard and said, "It's possible that the victim deliberately set up a problem, it can't be said, it seems that you are all reasoning lovers, right?" ”

"Yes, everybody's interested in the Murder on the Orient Express."

"Oh......"

Conan looked at the man with glasses, and after checking the black bag, he said to Maori Kogoro, "Then it's Ms. Xiaoren......

According to his judgment, the current master and servant of Room D are likely not to be himself, but the strange thief Kidd and his assistant who came to step on the gem show in the future......

"Not anymore." Gao Cheng suddenly said after checking the anti-leeching chain in the room.

"Huh?" Conan was stunned.

"There is only one person who can complete this crime," Gao Cheng's gaze turned to the stunned man with glasses, "There is only one person." ”

……

"What's wrong?" In car No. 6, Amuro looked at the landscape and called out the window, "Why did you interrupt the plan?" ”

"It's true that the woman's daughter, Shuichi Akai's sister, is a good bait, but ......"

In another room, Belmode, who had been undisguised, closed his eyes.

"Hey, you shouldn't be scared, right?" Bourbon knew that Belmode was almost killed by Akai in New York, and frowned, "So didn't I say that?" All you have to do is dress up as Shuichi Akai and approach her, and I'll ......take care of the rest."

"I'm sorry," Belmode opened his watery green eyes, "not Akai. ”
