Yukiko Kudo has also heard of the name of Hell Puppet Master. Yusaku Kudo has been paying attention to him since he knew that there was such a special criminal in Japan.According to Yusaku Kudo's discovery, many traps and tracks arranged by the hell puppet master are really difficult to deal with. The other party always has a terrifying imagination far beyond ordinary people and the ability to transform this imagination into reality, just like The case that deflated Conan, even though the logic of reasoning was clear and reasonable, still had to be retreated due to lack of evidence.

Such a case, even if he comes in person, if he can't catch the current one, there is nothing he can do.

More importantly, the hell puppet master is like the crime professor Moriarty in the novel. He provides the crime plan and even the place to commit the crime, but he doesn't do it himself, he just watches from the sidelines. Only when the pawns caused the criminal plan to fail due to their own reasons, he would clean up the useless pawns.

It is precisely because of this that although the hell puppet master can be seen occasionally, but more often, everyone can only see a pile of headless cases where no clues can be found.

Not only Edogawa Conan, Hattori Heiji in Kansai also encountered this hell puppet master before, and even keenly cracked a case hosted by the hell puppet master.

But the hell puppet master never set foot in Yokohama, because even such a terrible criminal mastermind never thought of provoking Edogawa Ranpo head-on.

So when he saw the envelope, Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "How dare this guy come to provoke us?"

"Mr. Nakaya, open it and have a look." Ryunosuke Akutagawa said seriously.

"Hmm..." Zhong Yuanzhong also opened the envelope casually, and a piece of letter paper fell out from it. On the letter paper, it was written in standard print, "This is a banquet, you are welcome to join."

Zhong Yuanzhong also saw this inexplicable sentence and was a bit confused, but considering that Gao Yuan Yaoyi's crimes have always been "artistic", there is almost no plot to kill unrelated people--attacking a detective is not called killing unrelated people-so he He didn't take it too seriously, he casually put the letter paper on the table, "Does Miss Xizi want to see it?"

"Okay..." Kudo Yukiko was very satisfied with his address, no woman would like to be called old, let alone a beautiful woman like Kudo Yukiko who didn't look old at all.

Kudo Yukiko was curious while looking at the letter, "Chuya-kun, you seem very confident."

"Miss Youxizi, do you mean to solve the case? I'm not very confident in this aspect." Zhong also said honestly, "Although for Mr. Ranpo, Gao Yuanyao is not worthy of his attention, but for us It's a different story for a plain-headed investigator."

"Ah, you two are so humble." Kudo Yukiko couldn't help but looked at the two graduates from prestigious universities and said with a smile.

"This is on the train." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said calmly, "The train itself is a huge mobile secret room. Even if the murderer committed crimes on the train, it would be difficult to escape. Even if he stops at the station, as long as he investigates carefully, he should There's nothing wrong with that."

"It's not wrong to say that." Yukiko Kudo carefully put the letter back into the envelope, "However, if the puppet master from hell appears or something, we should call the police first, right?"

"Well, that's true. By the way, and, Miss Yukiko, hurry up and talk to Conan-kun about this matter. Maybe you will have to rely on his wisdom to sort out the case." Zhong also took out his phone as he spoke. , "Outside the circle?"

Big Cat Yuji also took out his mobile phone. It also saw that his mobile phone showed no signal, and the whole group frowned. Although it is true that the signal base stations in some places are not very good, this time the route is from Tokyo to Nagoya. The signal should not be so bad on the road.Moreover, they had just placed an order with their mobile phones before, why did they suddenly lose signal all of a sudden?

The three of them and one cat sensed something was wrong at the same time, and went out together to find the conductor of this train.

"Huh? No signal?" The driver also took out his mobile phone with some doubts, and sure enough, he saw that his mobile phone was also outside the circle, and immediately showed a puzzled look. He stood up and pulled I opened the chair I was sitting on before, reached out and groped for a while, and opened a hidden compartment. In this hidden compartment, there is a landline phone and some retro things. Obviously Jiroji Suzuki came up with it, but I have to say, In the current situation, this kind of antique telephone is more than just decoration.

"Hey, this is carriage No. [-]. The passenger reported that he has received a warning letter from a dangerous person in the carriage, and there is no signal inside the carriage." The captain quickly reported the situation, and then turned to look at the people in front of him. "I've already contacted the train conductor. These landlines are all internal lines, and I can't make outside calls. I have also reported the situation you reported to the other side. The train conductor should report it to Mr. Suzuki immediately, and then call the police. Yes."

"I think that if it was Suzuki Jirokichi, he would probably want to drive the car to Nagoya without stopping all the way, and let the police check one by one, so that he can catch the hell puppet master in one fell swoop." Nakahara couldn't help but try Substituting Suzuki Jirokichi's position for a while, but thinking back and thinking about it for some reason, his mind was full of "hahaha", he stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead with some headaches, "Forget it, Miss Yukiko, hurry up Go to Conan first, and remember to remind him to pay attention to safety."

"Okay—" Yukiko Kudo hurriedly ran towards the direction Conan and the others were chasing.

However, what is more helpless is that at this time, Conan and the others are in the opposite direction. They were deceived by Mao Lilan and other female high school students, and they mistakenly thought that a section of the train had disappeared. Now they are running back and forth with a headache, wanting to Find out what's going on here.

Kudo Yukiko ran back for a while without seeing a child, and immediately knew that she was going in the wrong direction, so she quickly turned around and returned, and then almost bumped into a pair of master and servant who came out to breathe, and the maid was pushing and sitting in a wheelchair The old woman walked over and almost collided with the woman who turned around quickly.

"I'm really sorry." Kudo Yukiko was also relieved when she found out that she almost bumped into him, and quickly said sorry to the person, and without waiting for any reaction from the other person, she continued to rush to look for it and went by herself.

"Master..." Seeing the woman leave in a hurry, the "old lady" in the wheelchair spoke.

"Ah, I know." Some elderly "maids" also uttered a clear male voice that should not belong to a maid at all, "The person who should be the relevant person of the little detective, it seems that the problem has been discovered. Anyway, let's start Walk around and check the signal blocking situation, this train still accommodates a lot of passengers, especially the large carriages at the back, if the rear is also blocked by the signal, some passengers will get angry, right?"

Kaitou Kidd pushed his assistant and walked forward unhurriedly. Terai Konosuke, who was dressed as an old woman with bad legs, picked up the phone from the wheelchair and looked at it. It was still in the circle. Outside, "Master, do you know who is doing such a thing?"

"I can't guess it, but it will block the signal to cover such a large area. What is that guy trying to do?" Kaito Kidd also has a bad feeling. Signal blocking devices are usually used in prisons, examination rooms and other places. The purpose of placing this kind of thing on the car is also obvious, it is clearly to avoid being disturbed in the first place for doing bad things.

When they came to the back compartment, the signal appeared, but it was weaker than normal, maybe it was affected by the signal jammer, but for ordinary guests, they would only think that it was caused by the vehicle entering the mountain. signal is weakened.

"Master..." Terai Konosuke called his young master's name softly.

"I know..." Kidd turned the wheelchair around and pushed it on the way back.

With the little detective around and such a weird situation happening again, there is a high probability that something will happen on this train.Kaitou Kidd couldn't help sighing inwardly, and this happened to him again, did he really have a bad temper with that little detective?

On the other side, Nakahara Chuya, who had been waiting by the conductor for a while, heard the fixed phone behind the conductor ring again. The answer he had expected before.

"Mr. Consultant is very angry, and expressed the hope that we will speed up at full speed and rush to Nagoya Station without stopping at any station in the middle." The train conductor's voice was also a little weak, "He will notify the police and arrange enough manpower to go to Nagoya Station. At the station, when the time comes, check each face for makeup, and try to catch that hell puppeteer."

"As for the others..." the other party obviously hesitated, "Because nothing happened at all, so even if we know that there will be no good things if we have a relationship with the hell puppet master, we can't do anything now. "

Zhong Yuanzhong was also aware of the embarrassment of the other party. He reached out and patted the captain on the shoulder, signaling him to relax, "Leave the rest to us investigators of the detective agency. You should do your own work well first. Is there a signal from the train conductor?"

"Well, the train conductor asked, and it seems that there is no signal in the luxury private room area." The train conductor is also a little confused, but there is no such thing as a signal jammer on the train, so it can only be said that most of the luxury private room area is fortunate. They are all elderly guests, and most of them are not so addicted to mobile phones. Even if they need room service, they use the old method - ring the doorbell at the door.

"I see. If there is any problem with the room, please inform me in time. Do you know our room?" Zhong Yuan also pointed to his box, and the driver quickly stood up straight and nodded.

"Akutagawa, let's investigate separately. Mr. Yukichi, follow me." Chuya said, looking back at the person and cat behind him.

"No problem..." Ryunosuke Akutagawa knew very well that on such a train, it would be safer for Yukichi to go anywhere than to follow Nakahara Chuya. He nodded, and quickly separated from the other party and then walked towards the other side of the train. walked over.

Chuya Nakahara had only walked a few steps when he met Conan and his party walking from the front. It was obvious that these children hadn't figured out why there was a section missing in the carriage, and Kojima Motota was the first to surrender, "We Go to the victim and ask directly what's going on!"

"That's right, that's right." Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko on the side also echoed in agreement.

"How is it, Edogawa-kun?" Haibara Ai looked at them coolly with a little smile, and added a little more pressure to Conan by the way.

"Whispering..." Edogawa Conan curled his lips. When he heard Genta's words just now, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he understood the truth of the matter almost in the fastest time. Go to sister Xiaolan and ask them."

As he said that, he wanted to turn his head, but he saw Nakahara Chuya and the others walking this way.

"Conan Conan, the big brother in front is so handsome." Ayumi was the first to discover Chuya. As a straightforward girl who controls the face, she naturally couldn't move her feet when she saw such a handsome big brother.

Conan twitched the corner of his mouth, and felt a sour taste in his heart again. Damn it, even a little girl would fall so easily under the opposite Yan Dun.He hurried forward and asked Zhong Ye pretending to be cute: "Brother Zhong Yuan, what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just something for adults." Nakahara Zhong also has a better temper than ordinary people for children, even if they pretend to be children, he said to the two, "By the way, some people who saw such a sign something?"

He said, took out his mobile phone, and showed a few people a picture that looked like a clown.

"No..." Mitsuhiko looked at the clown a little strangely, "Isn't this a reasoning train? How could there be a circus mark?"

"Yeah, is this a clown?" Yuan Tai was also a little puzzled.

Conan immediately realized that this was not a clown, but the mark of the puppeteer from hell, and that guy actually came here?Subconsciously, he wanted to get out of the phone and ask Dr. Ali, but when he took out the phone, he found that the signal was gone.

"Ayumi has seen it before." Unexpectedly, the only real girl among the few raised her hand and said, "It's in our box."

"Where?" Conan turned his head abruptly. Compared with the mischievous performance just now, the seriousness of the matter this time was completely incomparable. He asked loudly, which startled the little girl.

"That's right, it's in our box." Yoshida Ayumi said weakly, "I'll take you there."

Zhongya Nakahara immediately realized that something was wrong. Although he took out the picture of the clown of the hell puppet master, after all, the hand was to remind Conan that the real hell puppet master would not leave himself on anything. As far as clues are concerned, even if he wants to watch closely, he will only choose an unobtrusive identity, disguise himself and mix in the crowd, or directly learn about the situation through surveillance.

He is a spider behind the scenes, not a magician in front of the stage, so he doesn't need to be too ostentatious.So... Did Gao Yuanyao really do what happened this time?

Even though they thought this way, they quickly came to the box of the Boy Detective Team. Yoshida Ayumi pointed to something on the ceiling and said, "That's right there."

Zhong also didn't talk nonsense, he jumped onto the sofa directly, stretched out his hand to push the partition on the ceiling, and then he saw what was placed there, a thing wrapped in black plastic cloth.

"Mr. Yukichi!" Zhongya yelled, the big cat Yuji quickly stretched out its claws, opened the window of the box, and Zhongya grabbed the black bag. Suddenly, he decisively threw the thing outside.

Under the unnatural flight arc, the package just flew higher and higher, and there was no intention of falling. However, when the package was thrown a certain distance, the thing suddenly exploded in midair. Can be heard clearly from a distance.

"How...is it possible?" Conan was a little surprised at the parabola that was flying higher and higher, but when the explosion sounded, all those doubts were immediately left behind by him. He looked up and looked outside. The flames of the explosion And the smoke still stays in the mid-air outside.

"So that's why the signal is blocked because of this?" Zhong also immediately reacted, "Hey, let me borrow this brat, and the others just stay in the room honestly and don't wander around, understand? "

"Hey, wait a minute, Conan..." Ayumi wanted to say something else, but Dr. Ari and Haibara Ai, who saw the scene just now, stepped forward decisively to stop them, "Don't go over, it's already been said, right?"

When Big Cat Yuji went out, he didn't forget to leave a few candies on the table, and then hurriedly followed.

"What is this..." Conan asked uncomfortably, being held in Zhongya Zhongya's hand.

"The current situation is unknown." Nakahara Chuya's answer was also straightforward, "We received this when we were chatting with your mother in the box." He said, and took out the envelope with "Hell Puppet Master" written on it. Show it to Conan.

"My mother?" Conan almost immediately thought of the woman pretending to be a boss he met in the corridor earlier, and veins suddenly appeared on his forehead.

"Stop pretending, the people in the agency basically know your identity, do you think your acting skills are concealed from Mr. Ranpo? Besides, I have seen you before when you were young." Zhong also Politely interrupted Conan who was about to say something, "Now that you have the time to think about disguising a child in front of me, it's better to think about what to do first. Now the signal in the luxury box area is blocked, but the bomb It’s hard to say which rooms are there and which ones aren’t. Also, where is your friend’s room, take me there quickly.”

Conan almost didn't react to what he said on the phone, and then he realized that what the other party said was right. If he had time to pretend to be a child, he might as well get down to business. He quickly pointed to the front and said: "The carriage in front, they should She was chosen by the campaign party to be the perjurer, and Shiliang's reasoning ability is also very good, so you can call her along."

There was an explosion outside the car just now. It was impossible to hide such a huge movement. Many people were already looking outside curiously.

"What's the matter?" Shiliang Zhenchun looked at the fire in the distance, full of doubts.

"Sister Lan, Sister Yuanzi, Sister Shiliang, come out quickly." The door of the box was opened again, and there were three people standing at the door, Conan hurriedly called the people inside to come out.

"What's the matter?" Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko who were confused hadn't reacted yet, Sera Masumi had already realized that there might be danger lurking here, and quickly pulled them out together.

Yuji the big cat ran over immediately, sniffed left and right, and pointed to the wooden texture behind the wall of the sofa.Nakaya stepped forward immediately, and when he reached out to touch it, he found an abnormal feel. He raised his hand and tore off the wallpaper that should have been a wooden wall, and took out a black package that was the same as before.

"Bomb, bomb?" Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko also reacted immediately because they are people who have experienced many things.

Suzuki Sonoko couldn't believe it even more, "Someone put something like this in this car?" This is the property of their Suzuki family, and they are still running fast. If there is a sudden explosion, people on this train will be killed. They might all be blown up to the sky.

"Miss Sonoko, you and Miss Maori go to the conductor's room to get in touch with the outside world. Remember to ask the conductors to appease the disturbed guests, otherwise the stampede will happen before the explosion causes any problems. By the way Don't forget to call the police." Chuya threw the thing out as usual and turned to the people around him, "And Miss Shiliang, please come with them, and remember to see if there are any suspicious people along the way."

"Okay, leave it to me." Shiliang Zhenchun was unambiguous, and immediately understood the meaning of his words. He wanted to see for himself whether the people in the conductor's room were trustworthy.

"Let's split up, hurry!" Chuya finished his orders, and immediately called Conan. He took out the vehicle introduction picture he got before getting in the car from his pocket, "If there are bombs in the future, what do you think is the most important thing?" Where might it be?"

When Sera Masumi left with the two female high school students, she happened to look back and see the people over there looking for clues to the map and an envelope. She also knew very well that in such a situation, At times, this was the best way to do it. She turned her head and took a last look at the three people who were looking for a possible location on the picture, and immediately ran forward resolutely.

On the other end, Ryunosuke Akutagawa was also moving forward rapidly. He could hear various sounds along the way. Because of two explosions outside suddenly one after another, the passengers began to panic, and the bells calling for the captain came one after another. Yukiko Kudo hurried over, "Akutagawa-kun, where are Conan and the others?"
