Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

"so annoying."

In a compartment where only the sound of the train could be heard, a young man wearing a white outer garment with purple inner garments and a black hat on his head put down his cell phone with an unhappy look on his face and complained rather dissatisfiedly.

Sitting opposite the tea table, the girl with the hairpin who had heard everything the young man said on the phone before fiddled with the camera in her hand while soothing him:

"Your grandfather is also worried about your safety. After all, it has only been a few days and two vicious cases have occurred."

In particular, the murderer in one of the cases was their companion.

Hojo Shuya pursed his lips tightly, his face showing a growing dissatisfaction:

"Humph."

Seeing that the dissatisfaction on Hojo Shuya's face grew, he even turned his head to one side, stretched out his hands, and lay down on the tea table in the middle of the tatami.

The Ji-haired girl who spoke to comfort him kept moving her hands, but she tactfully did not mention the matter again and asked about something else instead:

"Then will you still participate in the upcoming treasure hunt in Osaka?"

"He definitely won't miss it. That's a precious ancient book that contains clues to the Red Leaf Treasure. If he really misses it, Shuichiro will definitely regret it in his dreams at night."

Hearing this, before Hojo Shuya could speak, the young man with a crew cut who was sitting on the tatami not far opposite him and studying the treasure map in his hand carefully raised his head and made a timely joke.

The Ji-haired girl smiled when she heard the voice, stopped what she was doing, and immediately echoed:

"Maybe it's not that I regret it in my dreams at night, but that I regret so much that I can't sleep."

Hojo Shuya, who had turned his head to the inside, turned his head to the other side silently upon hearing this. He looked at the two companions in the box who were looking at him with a smile on their faces, and muttered seriously:

"Of course."

He finally took this opportunity to meet with these like-minded friends offline.

Of course he would not be happy to be asked to go back halfway.

"In that case, then stop lying there with a droopy face and come over here to study the puzzle on this treasure map."

The young man with a crew cut spoke actively.

"Even if your family really comes to find you and wants to take you back, before we go back, we should try our best to solve the puzzle above, so that it will not be a waste of our gathering this time."

"Yes, so hurry up, Shuichiro."

Encouraged, Hojo Shuya sat up, walked to the young man with a crew cut and sat down, and began to study their group's parchment treasure map carefully.

The girl with the Jifa hairpin, who had finished fiddling with her camera, followed and sat down.

The three of them, plus the repentant man who was arrested by the Fukuoka police for murdering his girlfriend, are a group of good friends who came together on the Internet because of their interest in the red leaf treasure and have known each other for many years and have similar interests.

This time, it was the first time that they gathered together offline, truly and neatly, to participate in a treasure hunt related to the Red Leaf Treasure.

In the past, the four of them communicated and discussed on the Internet. It was only after meeting this time that they knew each other's appearance and name.

Among them, it was because several people knew that the girlfriend of the man who confessed happened to participate in this event.

The two teams gathered in the same compartment and were bumped into by Asaka, who was disguised as a train waiter at the time.

But before that, Hojo Shuya really disliked the strong smell of cigarettes coming from a messy-haired man in another team in that carriage.

So I only stayed for a while and then went back to my own box.

Therefore, when Chaoxiang followed the clues and used her disguise to observe the people in the box, she only saw seven people.

Although this meeting was the first offline gathering of friends of many years, they also formed a team to participate in the red leaf treasure hunt activity that they were very interested in.

But when Hojo Shuya was traveling, he was always fully alert and cautious.

Whether it was on the Internet or this offline gathering.

Hojo Shuya did not reveal his true identity, even his name was Haga Shuichiro.

Even his companions could tell from Hojo Shuya's behavior and temperament that he should come from a good family and was very much loved by his family.

But no one expected that Hojo Shuya's background would be so prominent.

Of course, what Hojo Shuya himself did not expect was that the repentant man who was so intimate with his girlfriend on the first day would actually kill his girlfriend with a knife that night.

Then he calmly returned to the room, and chatted and laughed with them the next morning, discussing what to do in the next free activity.

However, Hojo Shuya did not tell his family about this.

Therefore, Hojo Yoshihito, who cared about his son, only knew that several cases occurred in the treasure hunt activity his son participated in, and he did not know that the murderer of one of the murders was a friend who was in the same team with his son.

Including Hojo Yoshimune, no one knows this news yet.

The people sent by the public security department were concerned about the attack on Conan and his friends, and were also concerned about the case in which A Mian was attacked and disappeared before.

A case in which the murderer has been caught, the truth of the case has been solved, and the case can be closed once the suspect is sentenced by the court and sent to prison is not within the scope of public security attention.

Even the Fukuoka police who are investigating this case will not pay attention to who the suspect's friends are or which friends he has in his team in this treasure hunt competition.

However, it won't be long before Hojo Yoshimune knows this news.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was clearly hanging overhead.

As we approach Osaka, the temperature is highest in the afternoon.

There were almost no people in the train corridor except for the occasional train attendant walking by.

The guests either stayed in the train compartment or took photos of the beautiful autumn fields illuminated by the light outside the window.

Or, you can take this opportunity to take a short break and gather your energy for the upcoming treasure hunt in Osaka.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Conan, one of the exceptions, raised his small wooden sword, pushed open the door of the compartment energetically, then wiped the hem of the gun-wielding conductor who had tea in his hand and ran over happily.

Then he suddenly ran back, his eyes sparkling, and with an expectant look on his face, he grabbed the hem of the gun-wielding conductor's clothes and pleaded:

"Uncle, when I was playing football in the last carriage, I accidentally lost a ceramic cat on me.

Could you help me get it back before I get off the bus?

I was afraid that my uncles would scold me, so I didn’t dare to tell them.”

The armed conductor holding the tray did not refuse and replied:

"Okay, little one, I'll get it for you once I've delivered the tea in my hand."

"Then uncle, I'm going to play for a while, and then I'll find you there."

As he spoke, Conan danced with the small wooden sword in his hand and happily disappeared between the carriages, behind the long hanging door curtains.

In the box separated by a door,

At noon, they took the excuse of taking a walk to digest their food and visited every carriage of the red leaf special train. After determining the location for the action, Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran stared at the glasses left by Conan.

A red dot representing the location of the bug appeared on the lens of Conan's glasses. It paused for a moment and then slowly moved towards the storage workshop at the end of the carriage.

When the red dot was only a little distance away from the storage workshop, Kogoro Mori and Mari Kyogoku adjusted their clothes, pushed open the door of the compartment, and walked towards the rear end of the compartment with a clear goal.

On the way, the sliding door of a box was not closed tightly.

Amuro Toru frowned slightly as he took advantage of the small gap to clearly see the armed conductor, Kogoro Mori, and Makoto Kyogoku walking towards the rear of the carriage one after another.

But my heart was filled with joy.

It seems that Mr. Maori and his companions also discovered that there was something wrong with the waiter with a gun and were planning to take action against him.

Now, he doesn’t have to think about how to make the arrest plan fail.

Yes, even though the plan to capture the armed train conductor was proposed by Toru Amuro, in fact, he most hoped that the capture plan would fail.

If the person who discovered that there was something wrong with this armed conductor was not Kiku Masamune, but Amuro Toru.

He would definitely pretend not to see it and then secretly reveal the news to Conan and the others.

But if this condition is not met, Bourbon, as an intelligence expert, certainly would not easily let go of this armed conductor who obviously has a secret.

Toru Amuro had already planned to play the role of a hard-working Bourbon who was conscientious and dedicated in this mission, and who would do his utmost to ensure the success of the organization's mission.

Try your best to distance yourself from the anger and rage from your superiors caused by the failure of the mission.

Originally he was still thinking about how to manipulate this arrest operation, but after seeing Kogoro Mori and Makoto Kyogoku appearing behind the armed conductor, Toru Amuro was completely relieved.

With the fighting power of these two men, plus the intelligence of Conan and the others, this gun-wielding conductor will definitely not be their opponent.

Earlier, while going to the toilet, Toru Amuro learned from an email sent by Yuya Kazami that the case of Amien being attacked and missing has now been taken over by the police.

Therefore, Toru Amuro was very clear that the future destination of this armed train conductor who was about to fall into the hands of Conan and his men would definitely be a public security prison cell.

Therefore, what Toru Amuro has to do next is to discourage Asaka and Kikumasamune from carrying out the arrest plan that had been discussed previously.

So as not to interfere with the actions of Kogoro Mori and others.

Sitting by the window, Chaoxiang only heard footsteps outside the door, but could not see who was passing by the door. She looked at Bourbon's suddenly gloomy face in confusion and asked:

"what happened?"

"Someone has also set their sights on that target."

"Who?"

Asaka's brows also slightly frowned.

"Kogoro Mori and Heiji Hattori."

When answering, Toru Amuro deliberately omitted Kyogoku Makoto and instead pulled out Hattori Heiji.

He remembered that Asaka had participated in organizing the joint mission in Osaka to find Whiskey's lost munitions.

At the same time, during that operation, Asaka not only met Hattori Heiji, but she should also know that Hattori Heiji was the highest officer of the Osaka Prefectural Police and the only son of Superintendent Hattori Heizo.

The fact that the only son of a police inspector targeted an armed train conductor undoubtedly meant that the police were targeting this person.

Especially when the train is about to stop at Osaka.

Just as Toru Amuro thought, Asaka also realized this.

He not only remembered that Hattori Heiji was the only son of Hattori Heizo, the top official of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.

I still remember the girl named Toyama Kazuha who came with Hattori Heiji. She was the only daughter of Toyama Ginjiro, the director of the Criminal Department of Osaka Prefecture.

Hattori Heiji's targeting of the armed conductor was equivalent to the Osaka police targeting him.

As soon as the train stops, the Osaka police may be standing by, ready to arrest someone.

Thinking of this, Chaoxiang's face suddenly became unsightly, but she had no choice but to give up the plan to capture the armed train conductor.

Of course, Kiku Masamune had no objection.

Having obtained the expected result, Toru Amuro was looking forward to Kogoro Mori and his team successfully capturing the armed conductor.

At the same time, he discussed with Asaka in a serious manner how they should obtain new information after the arrest plan was aborted.

Outside the door, the armed conductor, who had walked along the long corridor of the carriage and passed through layers of long curtains, had now arrived at the last carriage where various sundries and cleaning tools were stored.

Of course, he did not diligently start looking for the cat ceramics that Conan mentioned, but stood leisurely beside a row of large upright cabinets placed against the wall of the carriage.

I planned to wait for Conan to come, then pretend to look for it, and then regretfully tell him that the thing might have accidentally rolled into the dark gap between the cabinets.

Or it may have been swept away by the cleaning staff. In any case, it can’t be found anymore and the person was tricked away.

However, he never expected that he did not wait for Conan as expected, but waited for Kogoro Mori and Makoto Kyogoku.

When there were still two layers of long curtains to the rear carriage, Maori Kogoro showed an angry attitude, opened the second to last layer of curtains and walked forward, while saying to Kyogoku Makoto beside him:

"That kid said he was going to the bathroom, so he must have sneaked in here to play again.

When I catch that brat, I will give him a good beating."

"Conan is still young. It is not advisable to educate a child with such violent means."

"Humph, if I don't give him a beating, that brat won't learn his lesson.

I told him that we were going to Osaka soon and asked him to stay in the box, but you see, the kid lied to me and said he wanted to go to the bathroom, and he didn’t come back for such a long time. "

The angry Kogoro Mori walked quickly through the penultimate carriage, cursing as he lifted the last layer of dark blue curtain embroidered with exquisite patterns.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen."

Seeing a man in a train attendant's uniform bowing to him behind the curtain, Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then asked:

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a black-haired kid here who is about seven or eight years old and this tall, wearing a black samurai costume?"

The armed conductor, who had heard clearly the conversation between Kogoro Mori and Makoto Kyogoku, was happy that he didn't have to pretend to coax the little kid.

He very respectfully told Kogoro Mouri and Makoto Kyogoku exactly how Conan had asked him to come over and help find something.
