Those years when I was a purchasing agent in Yokohama

Eight o'clock in the morning, Tokyo train station.

A black old-fashioned steam train was lying on the rails, and the black and heavy front was continuously spraying white steam.

A group of children around seven or eight years old were cheering and standing at the front of the train, looking up at the old-fashioned locomotive in amazement with their little heads up.

"It's the first time I've seen such an old-fashioned steam train."

A little girl combing her hair and wearing a pink headband looked amazed, and her big round eyes were shining brightly.

The teenagers standing next to her reacted similarly to hers. It was the first time they saw this product of the industrial revolution/revolutionary period, and they couldn't help feeling a little excited.

The tea-haired girl wearing a mask on the side looked calm, "It just looks like an old-fashioned steam train on the outside, and the locomotive with the latest diesel engine is equipped inside."

Her voice was a little hoarse, mixed with a strong nasal voice, and she coughed several times after saying this, as if she had a cold.

Ayumi looked at the girl with a pink headband worriedly, "Xiao Ai, is your cold still okay?"

"Yeah, I don't know which pathogen is so tenacious."

Hui Yuanai lowered his eyes and glanced at the bespectacled boy next to him meaningfully.

Conan laughed a little speechlessly, "So didn't I let you rest at the doctor's house?"

This limited express Suzuki runs only once a year.So as early as a month before the train runs, the online tickets are sold out. Most of the people who come to ride this train are railway fans from all over Japan, as well as some people who love reasoning games. During the driving process, a reasoning game will be played routinely, allowing the passengers in the car to participate in solving puzzles together.

There are still more than ten minutes before the departure of the train. Many passengers did not get on the train, but stopped at the front of the train to appreciate and praise. Some passengers even took out their mobile phones to take photos with the front of the train.

About one carriage away, a middle-aged man in a black suit was standing on the platform and quietly watching the group of teenagers standing beside the front of the train. A white woolen scarf was hung around the man's neck. He wore a black sheep felt hat, and the shadow cast by the brim of the hat covered more than half of his face.

He wears a black leather glove on each of his two hands, and holds a rosewood cane in his right hand. This classical and elegant appearance of a gentleman matches the steam locomotive in front of him very well.

The rosewood cane knocked on the ground of the platform, and there was a crisp echo. Hui Yuan Ai, who was talking with his friends, suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and his whole body reflexively entered a state of high tension.

She immediately turned her head to look in a certain direction, but in the crowded flow of people coming and going, she only had time to see a corner of a black suit.

However, it was such a small black corner of the clothes that successfully aroused the fear deep in her heart. She froze in place as if petrified, her delicate face was pale and ice blue. His eyes were a little out of focus, filled with unconcealable horror.

The shouts of the friends beside him seemed to come from far away, and there was only one thought left in the blank mind.

【Those people are also on this train】

……

In the interior of compartment A of No. 5, a middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman leaned the rosewood crutch in his hand at the corner of the compartment.

Although the interior of the carriage is also modified to imitate the steam locomotive of the 19th century, the interior of the carriage is obviously equipped with heating, and the interior of the carriage is very warm.

The man took off the black wool coat outside and hung it on the hanger in the compartment, and took off the wool felt hat on his head and the white wool scarf around his neck one by one and put them aside.

The train attendant knocked on the door of the carriage, put down the black tea and snacks provided by the train, and left the carriage again.

The man picked up a chocolate chip cookie and looked out of the window through a layer of transparent glass. The train would take a few minutes to leave, and there were still many passengers on the platform who wanted to take pictures and check in as souvenirs.

After thinking for a while, the man also took out his phone from his pocket, switched on the camera and switched to selfie mode.Then he started looking for various angles in the carriage, and after a while, when he finally found an angle he was satisfied with, he pouted at the camera and made a "v" by the way.

The man looked more and more satisfied with the photo he had taken, and then he sent the photo to the person who wrote "Lao Qin" in the notes on his phone, and he also added a sentence at the back: [Do you think I'm cute? ], and then click Send.

Three minutes passed, and the man's cell phone did not respond at all.

He raised his eyebrows, and quickly tapped the thumbs of both hands on the smooth phone keyboard.

[I saw Shirley, she is on this train. 】

This time, it hadn't been half a minute since the message was sent, and the other party replied, but the message that came back only had the word "good" and a period.

"It's so perfunctory."

The man gave a "tsk" in dissatisfaction, and when he opened his mouth, he had a gentle voice that did not match his majestic appearance. The voice and appearance were completely different.

This time Chu Shu pretended to be a middle-aged man who loves railway transportation. His task this time was mainly to fill in the gaps for Belmode and Bourbon.If the two of them accidentally let Shirley run away, it would be his turn to take action at that time.

However, he hasn't seen Belmode and Bourbon until now, but he first found the target of this mission - Shirley.

However, Gin had told him before to let him follow Belmode and Bourbon secretly, and not to be exposed until the critical moment. The executors of this mission are those two people, and he just needs to watch from the sidelines.

So, well, he should be a bystander for the time being, and it won't be too late for him to follow when Bourbon and Belmode take action.

……

The heater in the carriage was turned on a little bit, and Chu Shu felt a little stuffy after staying in it for a while. He looked down at the watch on his right wrist, and it was 3 minutes before the train left.

Chu Shu stood up from his seat, intending to go outside the carriage to get some air, and then stay inside. He was worried that he would fall asleep directly in the carriage later.

At any rate, he had promised Lao Qin earlier that he would help him with this.Moreover, Lao Qin lent him that Porsche to drive with special sincerity, so he had to show some sincerity.

As soon as Chu Shu opened the door of the car, he saw a group of flight attendants running past his car in a hurry. Chu Shu called out to one of the flight attendants, "What happened?"

The flight attendant thought that the noise caused by them had affected the passengers in the compartment, so he apologized sincerely to him, and then briefly explained the situation to him.

"We found a teenager on the train tracks who was about to commit suicide by lying on the tracks."

The teenager who committed suicide by lying on the rails?

The image of a certain black-haired boy immediately appeared in Chu Shu's mind.

But that boy is now in Yokohama, so he probably wouldn't just go to Tokyo to commit suicide by lying on the rails... right...

"Fortunately, it was discovered before departure."

The flight attendant looked terrified, "I have already contacted the nearby police to take him away."

Hearing that the matter had been resolved, Chu Shu didn't ask any further questions. The train was about to start, and there was only the captain sitting in the starting position of each car on standby in the aisle outside the car.

Chu Shu stood in front of the car window in the aisle, looked at the scenery outside the car window, and breathed the fresh air outside by the way.

At this time, the door of room B next to the compartment where Chu Shu was located was pulled open from the inside. Chu Shu glanced casually, and suddenly froze.

Walking out of Room B was a tall, thin man wearing a black jacket and a black fisherman hat. The man looked very handsome.

However, the right side of his face was left with a very serious burn, extending from the right forehead to the corner of the mouth.

Chu Shu just froze for a while, and soon returned to normal, looking as if he was just frightened by the serious scar on the man's face.

He looked away, and the man with burn marks on his face also passed by him to another carriage.

After the figure of the man completely disappeared in the No. 5 carriage, Chu Shu turned around from the window and stared thoughtfully at the direction in which the man left.

That person just now, he should have read it right, it was Akai Shuichi who should have died.

Shuichi Akai, who used to be a member of the organization, was given the code name of "Rye Whiskey" by the boss. Later, it was discovered that his real identity was actually an undercover agent sent by the FBI to the organization.

When Chu Shu was sent to Yokohama to investigate the leading war, he heard that he was killed by "Keir" in the organization. At that time, he was a pity for a long time. After all, in terms of handsomeness, rye whiskey is not inferior at all. Gin and bourbon.

The man who had died reappeared here now, still in such a blatant way, without any concealment at all, this approach was too deliberate, as if he was worried that others would not know that he Akai Shuichi was still alive in this world.

That must be Belmode or Bourbon pretending to be.

Chu Shu blinked, and reached out to touch the mustache stuck on his mouth.

Although I don't know what their purpose is to do this, but it seems that those two people have already started to act.

Then should he pack up and follow behind those two?

Just when Chu Shu was hesitating, the captain in charge of this carriage came over and said softly that there would be a reasoning game later, and hoped that Chu Shu could return to his room and wait for the crew to knock on the door to write a reminder The card was placed at his door.

Well, anyway, he hasn't seen Bourbon now, so let him make plans when both Bourbon and Belmode start to act.

Thinking of this, Chu Shu turned and went back to his room.

The train captain told Chu Shu that in about 10 minutes, the reasoning game in the train would begin.

But Chu Shu hadn't sat down for 2 minutes before he heard someone knock on the door of his room from outside.

Started so soon?

Chu Shu walked to the door with some doubts, and opened the door from the inside.

After the door was opened, Chu Shu saw a black-haired boy in a black suit standing outside the door.

The boy raised his head and showed him a harmless and cute smile.

"Can I go in?"
