Chapter 29: Haibara Ai's Mysterious Black Railway Train (29)

Conan took a deep breath, adjusted his voice, and then imitated Maori Kogoro's tone and said: "They are going to talk about the mystery puzzle that will be held in the mysterious train."

When everyone heard this, they immediately showed a surprised expression: "What?"

Conan smiled and continued, "The criminal used forged instruction cards to let Mr. Murohashi play the victim, while he himself played the criminal. Then, he pretended to make my daughters think that they were chosen to play the role of accomplices and asked them to cooperate in completing the puzzle of the disappearance of the body."

"Mr. Murohashi and my daughter naturally exchanged rooms. All of this was to carry out the criminal's trick." Conan explained, "Originally, Room B in this first-class carriage had been reserved in advance by Mr. Murohashi. This fake instruction card was prepared just in case of emergency."

Conan continued, "For safety reasons, the criminals chose children to act as detectives. No matter which child plays the detective, as long as they go to Room B of Carriage 7 to investigate, my daughters who are acting as accomplices will have to stay there temporarily and cannot go anywhere."

"Unfortunately, the criminal's trick was quickly broken." Conan sighed, "My daughter and the children plan to go back to the first-class carriage B together."

Mr. Noto interrupted, “And then?”

Conan smiled slightly, and then analyzed: "I know that the criminal successfully moved Mr. Murohashi to Room B through the trick of the reasoning game. But the next question is, how did he get out?"

Ms. Izumi said in confusion, "Yes! If the criminal entered Room B with Mr. Murohashi and killed him and left, then the attendant at the door of Room A should have seen the criminal, right?"

Mr. Anton added, "But the flight attendant didn't see it. So it must be the weirdo who was peeking through the door that the flight attendant claimed he saw, right?"

Ms. Izumi asked the flight attendant, "Which door is it?"

The flight attendant replied nervously, "It's... the door at the end of the corridor."

He thought for a moment and continued, "Since I saw the strange man in front of Room E, I think it must be Room A where Mr. Noto is."

When Mr. Noto heard this, he was immediately displeased: "You are getting more and more excessive in your words now!"

Conan pretended to be Maori Kogoro and said calmly: "I know who the true identity of that strange man is."

He paused, then said, "That person is you, Mr. Flight Attendant..."

The flight attendant was shocked: "What?"

"I...I am the suspicious person? Am I the criminal?" There was a hint of trembling and fear in the attendant's voice.

Amuro Toru smiled and shook his head and said, "No. What you saw at that time, Mr. Flight Attendant, was the door to Room E and yourself standing in front of the door."

"It's a mirror, right?" Amuro Toru further explained, "What you saw was actually your own reflection in the mirror, not some strange person."

The flight attendant suddenly realized what was going on. Recalling the situation at that time, he did feel it was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

Conan pretending to be Mori's voice also sounded: "That's right. The criminal had covered the inside of the door of his room with mirrors in advance."

"When the steward was called to the door of Room E by Miss Izumi, the criminal opened the door which was covered with mirrors in order to prevent anyone from seeing him coming out of Room B." Conan continued to explain.

When Ms. Izumi heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "But...but, if the criminal was in Room B at the time, how could he open the door of his room?"

Conan smiled and revealed the answer: "He tied the handle of the carriage door with a fishing line and passed it through the railings of the corridor window. He just needs to pull the fishing line to room B, calculate the right time and pull the fishing line, and the door will open."

"That's right." Conan nodded. "If you want to use this trick, the mirror will be exposed if it is too far or too close. So among the five rooms on the train, Room C, which is in the middle, Mr. Anton, only you can do this."

When Mr. Anton heard this, his face turned pale.
