Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Phantom of the Train

Suddenly I remembered that the White Nights magazine, which serialized "Memories of Murder", seemed to have been published only last month. At that time, the author serialized "Memories of Murder" to the most critical part and stopped, and the follow-up part will be released in the next issue.

If the guy named Kogoro Mori is really involved in the murder, then it is very likely that he will write some important clues related to the case into the magazine published this month.

I quickly asked the owner of the drifting book bar if he sold the White Nights magazine published this month. The owner of the shop, an enthusiastic Northeast woman, chatted to me about the history of the drifting book bar while flipping through a thick pile of magazines.

After searching for a long time, I finally found the last "White Nights" magazine that was issued this month, and the issue was exactly the next issue in my hand.

It is said that this magazine is only distributed in Z City because it is not selling well, because the owner of the store was originally from Z City, and he had been reading this magazine before, so he ordered it at this drifting book bar.

Some things really depend on fate.

As soon as the payment was made, the train arrived.

It was the peak tourist season, and the small carriage was packed with travelers, and it took me a long time to find my seat.

The seats were crowded all around, and next to me sat a young couple who looked to be in their early twenties.

It was late at night, and the other passengers were resting with their eyes closed, but the couple next to me didn't seem so peaceful.

The husband had yellow hair, and from time to time he put his hand into his wife's clothes or pants and scratched at random.

And the wife was wearing a breastless suspender suit, wearing a mask, and her behavior was very open. While catering to her husband, she showed a very satisfied expression, and from time to time she made that kind of soft humming sound.

I don't know how weird this couple is, but it's making me uncomfortable to blatantly do this kind of thing on the train.

I don't know if the other passengers saw me, but I sat next to them, and it was hard not to see them, and I felt uncomfortable.

"Hey, brother, it's not good!"

"Grass mud horse, let you beep in vain, if you can't stand it, get out!"

I don't know where this yellow hair got the confidence to dare to be so arrogant. Seeing that the scale of these two guys is getting bigger and bigger, that yellow hair is about to put his face into the woman's clothes, if I teach him a lesson now, maybe it will leave a shadow on him for the rest of his life.

In the spirit of humanitarianism, I thought that this time it would be better to let him go for the time being, and then come back when they are done to teach him the principles of life.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I left my seat, the yellow hair quickly occupied my place, and muttered scolding.

"What are you pretending to be a stinky dick, can't you just can't help but go to the toilet to help yourself? I don't have a girlfriend when I'm old, I really deserve it! ”

I ignored the yellow hair, but pretended not to hear and walked away. Lu Wei's murder and Lin Xiaoxue's matter have made it impossible for me to spare more energy to deal with this kind of scum.

After leaving the carriage, I found a small space next to the toilet as a temporary resting place.

calmed down a bit, and then opened the newly bought magazine in his hand, and soon found the suspense section.

Surprisingly, the author, Kogoro Mori, did not have a serialization of murderous memories in this issue of the magazine.

Under the pretext that the plot needs to be revised, he temporarily replaced it with another new reasoning article called The Phantom of the Train.

Does the plot need to be revised? Is it because I'm afraid that I will be suspicious of the police by writing too much about the case, or is this guy named "Mori Kogoro" already aware of my movements?

It's come to this point.,If you want to know more.,I can only go to Z City and ask the author of this in person.。

Since I was bored on the train, I simply read this new reasoning article.

The style and narrative of the Phantom of the Train are extremely similar to "Memories of Murder", and it can be seen that this should be an article written by the same person.

Originally, I was worried that this author had heard something, so I was ready to run away, but seeing this, I can rest assured.

The Phantom of the Train is also presented from the first-person perspective of a detective, presenting a murder case. It's roughly about Detective G who wants to go to a distant place to investigate something, and then gets on a train that is about to depart.

During this time on the train, it was originally uneventful. But suddenly, a young man in society deliberately got into an argument with Detective G.

Detective G was very upset and ignored the young people in society, so he left alone. However, an hour later, the young man was found tragically dead in the carriage.

The police quickly arrived at the train where the incident occurred, and after forensic examination, it was found that the young man had died of potassium cyanide poisoning, and the time of death was within 20 to 30 minutes of leaving with Detective G.

Toxic cyanide has not been detected in the water that young people have drunk or eaten before their deaths.

And because only Detective G had an argument with him before his death, the police quickly put the direction of suspicion on Detective G.

There is no follow-up to the article here, and the rest of the revealing process will not be known until the next issue.

As with the memory of death, the only thing readers can know is that the protagonist of the text, Detective G, is not a murderer. As for the specific process, it is up to the readers to reason for themselves.

After reading this Phantom of the Train, my heart is extremely confused.

Generally, the serialization in this kind of magazine, in the case of one article is not serialized, it is unlikely to directly use another article on top, which is a taboo in literary serialization, and it is very likely to cause a large number of complaint letters and the loss of readers.

But the author called "Maori Kogoro" did just that, and the chapters in the murder memories he dropped were related to Lu Wei's murder.

I don't believe it's just a coincidence, too many coincidences add up to make it no longer a coincidence.

Behind this article, there must be something hidden that cannot be seen in the dark. There was also the author called "Maori Kogoro", and I became more and more curious about his true identity.

It seems that my trip to Z City this time may be more difficult than I imagined.

At this moment, the train carriage suddenly became very noisy, and the passengers who had been sleeping woke up one after another, as if something serious had happened there.

I got up and followed, listening to the movement, coming from where I had just been.

When I went out to look, I found that I was surrounded by a large group of passengers around my seat.

"Brother, what's going on over there? It's a big night, why is there such a big movement? ”

"Something is wrong, I heard that there are dead people, and the death is miserable, it's too scary!"

Dead! A bad premonition came to my heart, and I quickly squeezed through the crowd, looked towards the seats, and suddenly found that the yellow hair before had fallen so that row of seats.

His eyes were wide open, his face was blood-red, and the area around his seat was covered with blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.

The shirt he was wearing was torn open, and most of his chest was exposed, with several small red dots near his left chest and some striking scratches, which were probably caused by the struggle before he died.

The fingers and wrists of the deceased were already very stiff, and the situation was not as simple as a simple corpse. I leaned over and noticed that the smell of bitter almonds was overflowing from Huang Mao's mouth. Combined with the above symptoms, Huang Mao is an acute death caused by cyanide poisoning!

Cyanide, poisoning, social youth, detectives!

Suddenly, the plot in the phantom of the train was really staged in the carriage I was in, and both the cause of death and the specific details of the scene were not much different from those described.

Unexpectedly, the second reasoning written by Maori Kogoro turned out to be staged in reality again. I also witnessed this homicide from the protagonist's first-person perspective.

Who is that author? Could it be that he could predict the future?

Before I could figure it out, there was movement in the back of the train.
