Chapter 21: Haibara Ai's Mysterious Black Railway Train (21)

Shiliang seemed particularly interested in this first-class carriage. She blinked and asked, "Excuse me, what is the difference between this first-class carriage?"

The flight attendant asked, a little confused, "What's the difference?"

Shira further explained: "I heard that this carriage, from compartment A to compartment E, is reserved by the same guests every year?"

The attendant nodded and said, "This Suzuki Express was only completed five years ago. But I heard that the first-class carriage was tailor-made by consultant Jiro Suzuki at the request of his wealthy friend."

Shira's curiosity was aroused, and she asked, "Tailor-made? Why is that?"

The attendant smiled and explained, "Because the wealthy family is the number one fan of the Orient Express, in order to allow the family to take this train leisurely, only the rooms in this carriage have been specially expanded."

Maori Kogoro suddenly realized something. He widened his eyes, slapped his thigh and said, "So those passengers just now are all the family members of that wealthy man!"

The flight attendant shook his head and corrected him with a smile: "No."

"Ah?" Maori Kogoro was a little surprised. He scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Then what's going on?"

The attendant patiently explained: "That family died in a fire one month after the first departure. Among these passengers, only one is from that family."

"Who is that person?" Kogoro Mouri seemed to have grasped the key.

The flight attendant smiled and replied, "It's Ms. Xiaosu who is in Cabin D. As far as I can remember, she seems to be a relative of the deceased bourgeois family."

Shira quickly swiped the screen on her phone, looking for relevant information, then she looked up and said to Maori Kogoro and Conan: "There are also reports of that incident on the Internet."

Maori Kogoro widened his eyes and asked curiously: "Oh? What does it say?"

Shiliang read the news he had searched: "On the day of the capitalist's birthday party, a fire broke out. The capitalist and several guests died, a total of 12 people."

Shira continued, "The text also says that the survivors who were rescued from the fire were the lady who just spoke, her servant, and four guests."

Maori Kogoro's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He suddenly caught the key information and said excitedly: "Could it be that those four guests are the passengers just now?"

Shira nodded and continued reading the information in his hand: "The cause of the fire was determined to be a power system failure. But the detailed cause seems to have not been found out yet."

Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and fell into deep thought: "If this murder case is a revenge drama caused by a previous fire, then doesn't it look more and more like... the Orient Express murder case?"

Conan also frowned and raised a question: "Speaking of electricity, why didn't you replace the light bulb in Room A with a new one when you knew it was broken?"

The attendant bent down and explained, "Behind the first-class carriage is the freight carriage. Spare bulbs were supposed to be prepared in advance, but they couldn't be found no matter how hard we looked."

Conan raised his head, looked at the conductor, and asked, "So before departure, the person in charge of checking the train is you, conductor?"

The flight attendant nodded and replied, "Yes, we will have two or three people to check all the equipment in the room together."

At this point, the flight attendant seemed to remember something: "Oh, by the way, it seems that we are also missing one uniform for flight attendants like us."
