"Dut...... Honk...... The phone number you dialed may not be available due to the radio waves or the power is not turned on, so please call it again later......"

While Yuichi and Conan and the others were studying Asama's body in the tunnel, Yukiko Kudo, who was incarnated as Akeshi Fumiyo in the carriage room on the other side, was anxiously dialing the mobile phone in her hand, but it was obvious that the person she hoped to contact did not receive her call.

"It's really unreliable at all, it seems that this time I have to rely on Shinichi and Yuichi's stinky boy! They were going to have a husband and wife detective with that bastard to solve the headlines of the mega shooting! What a ......."

"Dangdang!"

"Who!"

After hearing the knock on the door, Yukiko put down her phone and carefully opened the door of the room, and then a familiar short figure appeared in front of her.

"Auntie! You've just lied! And I have the evidence! Need me to talk to you about it? ”

Looking at Conan, who looked like he was holding a Zhizhu in front of him, Yukiko couldn't help but squat down and pinch his round face and laughed.

"Really, is it still exposed? It's really Shinichi! ”

Looking at Conan, who was desperate to break free from his teasing, Yukiko sighed helplessly after taking off the sunglasses on her face.

"Cut! I knew it was you, no wonder when Officer Nishimura questioned the suspect, it was your turn to not even listen! Really, why did you go to all the trouble of getting here? ”

After seeing that this suspicious wise Wendai was really the person he was thinking about, Conan, who felt a punch in the air, asked a little depressedly.

"Me? Isn't that obvious? You know, I'm a celebrity in the island country! Of course you have to cross-dress when you come back here, otherwise what if you are blocked by a bunch of fans to sign autographs? I'm here on a mission! ”

"Huh! Also celebrities? A fan of someone? That was a few years ago, right? ”

"You don't talk too much! Really, the good ones don't learn, the bad ones learn! My new one is not as cute as it is now, it must have been instigated by Yuichi's little ghost, does he want to take revenge? It's a shame that I took such good care of him when I was a child! ”

Arikiko, who heard Conan's complaint, immediately exploded like the cat who had been angered, and muttered with anger on her face.

"Huh! Take care! Forget it, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the mission of returning to the island country in disguise! ”

Looking at Yukiko, who was full of anger accusing Yuichi of taking revenge, Conan, who remembered Yuiko's care for Yuichi in those years, smiled and cut the topic directly to the point.

"Ahh That's right! Task! I took this bus because I saw a report in a newspaper in an island country in the United States, saying that the robber of a jewelry store left a strange sentence and fled without robbing anything! And the rough actions of the professional robber and the riddle he left down at the scene are exactly the same as the beginning of the reasoning that your father wrote ten years ago! It's just that the antique art items that were robbed were in this case, but this case is a jewelry store! ”

"Is that really the case? It's exactly the same as Yuichi's guess! The murderer is imitating the plot of my dad to commit the crime, but it's a pity that I was too young at the time and can't remember the content clearly, otherwise I wouldn't have let Yuichi run rampant alone this time! By the way, and then what? With this strange question, Mom, you and Dad won't leave anything alone, right? ”

Conan, whose last bit of mystery had finally been confirmed, touched his chin and pondered for a while, then looked up and continued to ask Yukiko about their experiences, hoping to find some clues from them.

"Of course I won't care, after all, the murderer may be committing a crime with your father's plot, and if we don't want anyone to be hurt because of this, we went to check the phone number of the jewelry store and called it, and asked them if the owner was scheduled to take a long-distance train that would pass through a long tunnel, because the owner of the antique art store was shot in the train!"

As a result, I was shocked by their answer, their boss would really take this Big Dipper train for a long trip six days later, and I immediately dissuaded the other party when I felt that something was wrong, but they thought I was crazy and hung up the phone directly! I had no choice but to return to the island country and buy a ticket for this bus to prevent this murder from happening. ”

"Then why didn't you stop it?" Conan, who heard Kiko's explanation, thought of Keitaro Izumo, who was still being identified by the forensic staff in the chess and card room, and couldn't help but ask helplessly.

Arikiko, who heard Conan's inquiry, suddenly stopped talking just now, and suddenly lowered her head in embarrassment and muttered quietly.

"I followed and protected him for a day, and who knew that when I couldn't help but go to the bathroom, the murderer attacked him!"

"Huh? Then you should at least talk to us about it! Don't tell me you didn't see us in the dining car, but I paid attention to you then! ”

"But at that time, you, Yuichi, Xiaolan, and Judy had always stood with Maori Kogoro, and I wasn't sure if there would be a murder!" The little caution in my heart was embarrassed to tell my son, and Yukiko explained it after an embarrassed smile.

"But there should still be something that can be done, right?"

Conan, the virgin who couldn't accept a person being killed in front of his eyes, couldn't help but continue to complain, and his repeated blame tone finally made Yukiko, who was already a little guilty in her heart, angry.

"Shinichi? What do you mean? Am I responsible for the murder? Or did I kill that bastard who didn't listen to advice? ”

"I didn't say that...... By the way, what about the author himself who wrote this troublesome book? Conan, who saw Yukiko's outburst, immediately coaxed, and hurriedly threw the pot at a certain back-handed man with a roll of his eyes.

"Him! I should have already taken the previous Hokuto Star and arrived in Sapporo! After all, when we called the jewelry store at that time, we only asked Mr. Izumo about the date of the ride, but I didn't expect that the Big Dipper had three flights a day, and there was no way for me and your father to take it separately, your father took the Big Dipper One, and we took the third trip, and the next five according to the distance is to cross this tunnel during the day, if the murderer is according to the killing, he will not choose that trip. ”

"Oh? So this is a good trick for the evening? So what exactly is the trick? Have you asked Dad? I'm about to reach my destination, although I'm very unwilling, but this time it's better to save some trouble! After all, the most important thing is to catch the prisoner! ”

"Haha! That's a specific trick! Looking at Conan, who was full of unwillingness but firm in his eyes, Yukiko whispered a few words to Conan after a dry laugh, and then Conan's face slowly stiffened.

"What do you say? Forgot what trick to use? Feed! Mom! Did he write it himself? ”

"Of course! But after all, it was written ten years ago! And the one that was snatched was only written in the first half......"

"Robbed?" Conan, who heard Yukiko's explanation, immediately grasped the point of Yukiko's words.

"Yes! When the editor who was in charge of keeping the manuscript went to the bank, he happened to encounter a bank robbery, and the robber, who had not grabbed much money from the bank, set his sights on the customer who was in the bank at the time, so he handed over the briefcase containing the manuscript to the robber in order to save his life. By the way, the leader of that gang of robbers is called Asama Yasuji, and I heard a few days ago that he went out again to rob jewelry stores! ”

"Huh? What the? The robber who robbed his father's original manuscript was the Asama Yasuji gang? ”

Conan, who heard the news, immediately set off a storm in his heart, maybe he understood something.
