Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Chapter 280 Whispering Under the Strings (8)

The armed conductor who was eager to see Conan beaten up did not hide anything. After hearing the whole story, Maori Kogoro showed a look of suppressed anger and said with his back teeth clenched:

"I knew that kid would get into trouble secretly, and this time he actually lost something so expensive.

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

Kyogoku Shin, who was standing next to Maori Kogoro, showed a worried look at the right moment and said:

"Mr. Maori, calm down first.

Didn't Conan say that the item was lost here? Why don't we look for it first? "

As he said that, Kyogoku Makoto walked towards the depths of the carriage.

Kogoro Mouri let out a breath from his nose, but his eyes were looking around at the ground, obviously agreeing with Kyogoku Makoto's suggestion.

This is a carriage specially used for storing various items, so it is not separated into compartments like the passenger carriage in front.

Looking around, you can see row after row of tall shelves piled with all kinds of miscellaneous items.

The sunlight came in through the windows on both sides of the carriage, but was mostly blocked by the two rows of shelves that were packed tightly against the windows.

In addition, there were no lights on in the carriage during the day, and the environment was a little dim. As Kogoro Mori and Makoto Kyogoku walked between the shelves and into the depths of the carriage, they could soon only see a blurry back.

Only when a few spots of light shining through the gaps fell on the two people could one glimpse some of the patterns on their clothes.

Seeing the guests looking for things here, the armed conductor naturally couldn't just stand there and watch.

So he followed Kogoro Mori and Mamoru Kyogoku, walking deeper into the carriage, pretending to look for something.

As we approached the innermost shelf where many large items were piled, the already dim light became even dimmer.

When he was approaching the deepest part, Kyogoku Makoto naturally turned to the aisle on the other side of the shelf and stopped quietly amid the rumble of the train.

He looked calmly at the armed conductor who was following Kogoro Mouri and continuing to walk inside.

The armed conductor was completely unaware. At this moment, he just hoped that this troublesome customer who was cursing while looking for someone could find the ceramic cat quickly.

Or, lose your patience and go out and beat the kid. It would be best if the kid appears here the next second and ends this whole thing quickly.

"Hey, this seems to be the ceramic kitten that Conan lost."

As if he had heard the wish in the heart of the armed conductor, the next second, Kyogoku Makoto's voice rang out nearby.

The gun-wielding conductor, thinking that he could finally get rid of this grumpy old man, subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, and before he knew it, a happy expression appeared on his face.

At this time, Kogoro Mori, who was standing behind him, acted quickly, and the armed conductor, who was not on guard, was knocked to the ground by a knife attack from behind.

Seeing the armed conductor fall down, Kyogoku Makoto, who was responsible for attracting his attention, quickly put away the ceramic cat in his hand, picked up the hemp rope on the shelf behind him, stepped forward and tied the man up tightly.

Kogoro Mouri, an experienced criminal policeman, quickly searched the armed conductor from head to toe and found a bunch of prohibited weapons on him.

In addition to a silencer-equipped pistol, a sharp dagger and short knife, magazines and other items, he also removed a set of hidden arrows from the wrist of the armed conductor.

When he saw the short metal arrow that was flashing with cold light, had a faint pungent smell, and had patterns engraved on it, Kogoro Mori's face instantly became extremely ugly.

He still remembers clearly what happened last night.

Without hesitation, he classified the unconscious conductor and the perpetrator of the previous night as his accomplices. Suddenly, Kogoro Maori realized something and quickly looked at Kyogoku Makoto:

"Check his phone to see if there are any unusual messages or emails."

Kyogoku Makoto, who was holding the unconscious conductor's cell phone in his hand, understood and looked through the relevant information. However, just as he opened his email and read the latest read message, he heard footsteps suddenly coming from a distance.

The sound came from far away and was not noticeable amid the roar of the train, but it made Kogoro Mori's pupils widen instantly when he received the eye signal from Kyogoku Makoto.

He stood up slowly, and at the same time, he firmly held the pistol he had searched from the unconscious conductor in his hand.

Then he quickly walked to the corner of the shelf where the light was the darkest and hid himself, then stared intently at the dark blue curtain hanging at the other end of the carriage.

At the same time, Kyogoku Makoto immediately turned off the mobile phone belonging to the unconscious conductor and put it in his pocket, stuffed a rag he found everywhere into the mouth of the unconscious conductor, and then moved him to another place with little light.

Then he retreated to the shadow of a tall shelf and focused all his attention on the figure that stopped in front of the curtain.

The light from outside the window hit the curtain, making the tall figure behind it extremely clear.

But what Kogoro Mori and Makoto Kyogoku were looking at was not the tall figure of the man reflected on the thin curtain.

But it was the pair of legs that were not completely covered by the curtain.

On the Red Leaf Special Train, two long dark blue curtains embroidered with delicate patterns are hung between every two carriages.

It not only serves to separate the space, but also, to a certain extent, protects the privacy of the passengers in the carriage.

Although it is slightly longer than the usual door curtains, it does not completely reach the floor.

Therefore, taking advantage of their vision of seeing the light source from the dark, both Maori Kogoro and Kyogoku Makoto could clearly see the man's calves that were not covered by the door curtain.

Especially that pair of dark brown hard-soled tactical boots.

Even though he had not yet seen the man's face hidden behind the curtain, Kogoro Mori already had a very certain premonition.

The man behind the curtain was the man in short boots who had secretly attacked Xiaolan last night and had a fight with him.

New and old grudges surged in his heart, but Kogoro Mori held the gun in his hand, his eyes extremely calm and determined.

Today, he must catch the guy who hurt Xiaolan.

The man's figure on the curtain changed.

He pretended to take out his cell phone, then lowered his head as if to dial a number, and then put the phone to his ear.

However, the phone that had been turned off by Kyogoku Makoto would of course not make any sound.

So the man quickly put down his phone.

The next second, the hanging curtain was suddenly lifted by a hand, and then a tall man walked in slowly.

The hard-soled tactical boots made a crisp and rhythmic sound as they stepped on the wooden floor, which was not carpeted.

When he reached the middle, out of a warrior's keenness, the man in short boots stopped.

He looked around and although he didn't find anything unusual, he didn't go any deeper and even had the tendency to turn back.

Seeing the man in short boots turning around and about to walk out, he quickly searched all his pockets, but only found his own cell phone and the unconscious conductor's cell phone.

Kyogoku Makoto thought about the four things, the ceramic cat borrowed from Conan and the detective badge given by Conan, and threw his cell phone away.

The crisp sound of the cell phone hitting the wooden floor made the man in short boots, who had already turned around and taken two steps, quickly turn back and look at the source of the sound with vigilance.

"Who, come out."

The man in short boots whispered something, but received no response.

The man in short boots, who was confident of his strong strength, waited for two seconds, pulled out the pistol from his waist, and walked towards the source of the sound with clear steps.

As the sound got closer, Kogoro Mouri, who did not miss the scene of the man in short boots taking out his gun, also slowly raised the gun in his hand.

Quietly waiting for the opportunity to strike.

The man in short boots walked to the source of the sound and glanced at the ground. After recognizing that the object on the ground was a mobile phone, he immediately became more alert.

"Sorry, I dropped my phone by accident."

Kyogoku Makoto's sudden voice scared the man in short boots, and he immediately turned the gun in his hand towards Kyogoku Makoto.

But unexpectedly, the next second, a gunshot rang out from the side.

"boom!"

A bullet streaked across two spots of light at the rear of the carriage, grazed the wrist of the man in short boots holding the gun, and shot through the bag of rice on the shelf beside the man in short boots.

The man in short boots, whose wrist was severely scratched by the bullet, subconsciously let go of the gun in his hand. Along with the sound of the pistol falling to the ground, the rice bag with a hole in it beside him began to drop rice onto the ground continuously.

Seeing the opportunity, Kyogoku Makoto rushed out from the darkness quickly and kicked the man in short boots in the air, kicking the man in short boots who raised his hand to block directly flying several meters away.

And slid several more meters on the smooth wooden floor.

The sharp pain in his chest and the arm that seemed to have lost all feeling in an instant made the man in short boots stunned for a moment.

However, the subconscious response and strong adaptability cultivated through years of training allowed the man in short boots to quickly get up from the ground and avoid the side kick that followed from Kyogoku Makoto.

The young man in front of him was undoubtedly a top martial arts master, just as his companions had said last night.

After recognizing that Kyogoku Makoto was the man who had fought with his companions last night, the man in short boots realized that what his companions said was true, and used the shelf beside him to avoid Kyogoku Makoto's attack while retreating out of the car.

at the same time,

Kogoro Mouri walked out of the dark and came to the place where the man in short boots was kicked away before. He first turned off the safety of the pistol that the man in short boots dropped on the ground and picked it up.

Then he picked up the cell phone that Kyogoku Makoto had just thrown out as bait and put it in his pocket.

After doing all this, Kogoro Mouri ran quickly behind the man in short boots from the aisle on the other side of the shelf, successfully blocking the man in short boots' only escape route to another carriage.

Knowing that Kogoro Mouri was also quite skilled, the man in short boots became more and more serious.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The short arrows that appeared last night reappeared again. Maori Kogoro, who was prepared, just turned his head and dodged the two short arrows that were attacking his eyes.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the man in short boots looked fierce. After dodging the attack that Kyogoku Makoto took the opportunity to attack him, he quickly changed his breakout plan and ran through the shelves towards the nearest car window.

"He's going to jump out the window and escape."

Kogoro Mouri immediately pulled out the gun he had fired before, but was stopped by a shelf that was pushed down by the man in short boots.

When Kogoro Mori dodged the shelf and the pile of things that were falling from the shelf with a "ping-pong" sound, he heard a "crash" amid the rumble of the train.

Then a big hole suddenly appeared in one of the car windows.

Then the figure of the man in short boots disappeared.

Kyogoku Makoto, who was chasing the man in short boots, came to the window where many glass fragments were falling, but he did not look at the golden autumn fields outside the window.

Instead, he stepped directly onto the window frame and then flipped over to the top of the car.

The bright sunlight fell on the top of the train, and also clearly illuminated the man in short boots who was running towards the front of the carriage while talking on the phone.

The whistling wind made Kyogoku Makoto's samurai uniform rustle violently. The man in short boots turned around when he heard the sound and almost slipped and rolled under the train.

How come this damn evil star is still lingering around and even follows me here?

At this time, Kogoro Mouri had already reached the car window. Hearing the footsteps coming from the roof, he clung to the window frame but did not dare to put his feet on it for a long time. He climbed from the window to the roof like the man in short boots and Kyogoku Makoto.

On the roof of the car, the man in short boots had no intention of knocking Kyogoku Makoto off the roof at this moment. He just ran towards the car in front without looking back.

He had just taken advantage of those few seconds to finish a phone call with another companion, and his other companion would come to pick him up soon.

Then it will be his turn to attack.

There was a vicious flash in the eyes of the man in short boots.

Kyogoku Makoto, who was following behind, watched the man in short boots running forward. He slowed down his pace and took out the detective badge from his pocket, and informed Conan and the others on the other side of the badge:

"I'm on the roof. The target has just contacted his companions and has now run to the roof of the sixteenth carriage."

In one of the compartments in the eleventh carriage, Hattori Heiji, who stayed behind to protect Suzuki Sonoko and the others, stood up and said:

"I'm going to help."

Before the man in short boots entered the last carriage, Conan, who had already returned to the compartment, immediately replied:

"Wait, the most important thing now is the conductor who was captured by Uncle Maori and his gang in the last carriage. We must first ensure that he is not taken back by his accomplices."

"We can't just let Kyogoku-kun face that dangerous guy alone, and that dangerous guy has also contacted his companions."

Yuanshan Heye spoke.

"So, we have to split into two groups next."

Conan put his glasses back on and looked at Toyama Kazuha and the others seriously.

In a compartment at the back of carriage 13,

Kiku Masamune, who was sitting by the window with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said:

"There are footsteps on the roof."

Asaka, who only heard the "rumbling" sound of the train, did not doubt it for a second. He looked up at Bourbon on the side, and met the eyes of Amuro Toru, who suddenly smiled mysteriously.

Amuro Toru, who also heard the footsteps, instantly guessed what was going on. He looked at Asaka and Kikumasamune and said:

"Our chance has come."
