The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Tokyo Metropolitan Central Station, platform.

"Wow! That's great!"

"This is my first time seeing a steam engine train!"

"It's really courageous..."

The three little ones looked at the dark old-fashioned steam locomotive in front of them and couldn't help but praise it.

Even Conan put his hands in his pockets and looked at the "huge iron block" in front of him with great interest.

After all, for most men, locomotives hold a special allure...not in human form, of course.

Only Haiyuan Ai, who was standing at the back, closed his eyes slightly and said: "Only the appearance is SL type..."

"It is said that this train is actually equipped with the latest diesel engine inside."

When the third child heard what Hui Yuan Ai said, his eyes that were originally full of interest also lost some color.

Genta: "What? I thought I could experience the feeling of riding a steam locomotive..."

Ayumi: "In this case, wouldn't it be the same as taking an ordinary train?"

Seeing the three little ones losing interest, Conan glanced at Haiyuan Ai helplessly, then whispered in her ear, "Hey, can't you be so straightforward when you speak?"

Hui Yuan Ai's eyelids drooped, but he said in a very serious tone: "If you don't have high expectations long ago, you won't be too disappointed when you actually get on the ride, right?"

well……

Conan sighed helplessly in his heart. This guy had his own reasons every time, and he really couldn't defeat her.

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko from the back was also a little embarrassed and said: "Little devils, although the engine is not steam-driven, the riding experience inside is definitely the first-class sightseeing train in Japan~"

"This is all thanks to the Suzuki Foundation, the owner of the Suzuki train~ I have specially prepared a good seat for you!"

"But our location is completely different from yours. We want to travel in a luxurious and sparkling first-class carriage!"

"Okay!" The three little ones agreed in unison.

Yuanzi squinted his eyes slightly, and actually thought to himself: Haha, the kid is so easy to fool...

The "we" that Sonoko refers to refers to her, Xiaolan, and Mouri Kogoro.

Since there were so many people riding the mysterious train this time, it had to be accommodated in two carriages.

Especially first-class cars, even Suzuki's two thousand gold car is very difficult to get.

After all, other first-class passengers are either rich or expensive, so they cannot easily cancel their reserved seats and lose the credibility of the Suzuki Consortium.

Under Suzuki Sonoko's persuasion, Suzuki Jirokichi, who originally planned to take the train, instead waited for the train to arrive at Nagoya Station and gave up the first-class compartment to Sonoko.

As for why Yuanzi insists on the first-class carriage this time, it is not to show her identity and status.

But...

"This time, Uncle Jiroji deliberately displayed noble rubies in the first-class carriage of the train just to attract Kidd-sama to show up!"

"So this time I plan to take advantage of the opportunity of being near the water platform to secretly hide my confession letter expressing my endless love to Lord Kidd in the train in advance!"

"Xiaolan, what do you think of my courtship plan?!"

When mentioning Kaitou Kidd, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes turned into heart shapes, and the girl covered her hands with joy.

In contrast, Mao Lilan showed her beady eyes and looked at her best friend speechlessly.

"What about..."

"I don't think Kidd has time to steal the letters you wrote, right?"

"And if you do this, Mr. Kyogoku will really be angry..."

Faced with her best friend's warning, Sonoko didn't care at all and turned around to defend herself, "My love for Kidd-sama is a different kind of love!"

But at this moment, the short Conan said quietly, "But I don't think Kidd will show up this time."

"Ah?" Yuanzi pinched his waist and asked Conan angrily, "Kid, what did you say?"

Conan was not afraid at all and said calmly: "Because every time Kidd shows up, it always happens on a moonlit night. This train is in the daytime the whole time, so Kidd will most likely not show up."

"Ah?" Yuanzi was stunned and tapped his chin with his fingertips, "Is that so?"

"After you, the brat, said it, it seems to be true..."

Conan put his hands in his pockets and looked very confident in his reasoning.

In fact, he could guess that Kidd would not focus on this gem. In addition to the pattern of Kidd's crimes every time, he also knew about his cousin.

Kuroba Kaito has completed his purpose of finding his father, so there is no need to risk being caught to steal gems.

Kaitou Kidd will become a thing of the past...

"For me, I am more interested in the mystery puzzle game that I play every time in the train than the thief~"

At this time, a neutral voice came from behind Mao Lilan and others.

Mao Lilan and others turned around and found that it was Sera Masumi.

"Zhenchun! Why are you here?"

Sera Masaki narrowed his eyes and smiled, and explained: "I heard on the phone, Xiaolan, that the mysterious train you mentioned seemed very interesting, so I came here..."

"By the way, are you the only ones?"

Mao Lilan shook his head, "No, there is still my father...but he was still here just now, and I don't know where he went now."

"oh……"

Sera nodded clearly and glanced at the people gathered here at Mao Lilan. Although most of them were unfamiliar faces, some of them were familiar.

For example, Conan.

Ever since she learned the truth from Qin Zhibo, she also knew that Conan was a smaller version of Kudo Shinichi.

"Conan, hello~"

Conan's eyes were surprised when Sera said hello to him specifically, "Hello..."

At this time, Yuanzi also asked Mao Lilan doubtfully, "Who is this person?"

Before Mao Lilan could speak, Sera took the initiative to introduce: "My name is Sera Masumi. I am 17 years old and I am a detective."

"I met Xiaolan, Conan, Uncle Maori, and Dr. Ali in London before, and spent some time together..."

"I just returned to Japan a few days ago. Please give me your advice in the future~"

Saying that, Seriang took the initiative to extend his hand to Sonoko.

Sonoko looked at Sera Masumi in front of her. Although she wore a tough style of brown jacket and jeans, her appearance was particularly delicate, especially her smile had a hint of sweetness.

This one also feels good...

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were slightly stunned, and she stretched out her right hand blankly and held it with Sera Masumi's hand.

"My name is Suzuki Sonoko...please give me some advice..."

The short Conan saw that Sonoko was acting like a nymphomaniac again, so he reminded her without any trace: "Sister Sera! Are you here alone?"

"Yes, I am alone..."

Before Seriang finished speaking, the garden next to him, including the three little ones at the lower end, shouted in surprise: "Sister!"

"That's right." Conan turned around and explained, "Sister Sera is a girl, so of course I have to call her sister..."

Everyone: Uh...

Sera scratched her head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Haha~ It's true Conan, I originally wanted to maintain a sense of mystery..."

While everyone was chatting, in another carriage not far away, several passengers were preparing to get on.

"Isn't this Mr. Anton?"

"Long time no see, let me help you carry your luggage?"

Just as he said this, the conductor at the door of the carriage reached out to pick up the luggage of the man opposite.

But instead of handing him the giant board slung over his shoulder, the man with glasses and a mustache said.

"No, no need to trouble you."

"This is an important item entrusted to me by the client for safekeeping. Because the frame inside is made of pure gold, it is very heavy..."

"It's a pity that the painting itself is just an ordinary fake. After the appraisal, I have to take it back to Nagoya and return it to the client."

Hearing this, the conductor was stunned.

"It's strange that the terminal station of this train has not been officially announced to everyone. Why does Mr. Anton know about it?"

Just when Anton was about to explain, another pair of figures walked up not far away.

"With a little investigation, we should be able to understand this kind of thing, right?"

The speaker was a burly man with a Chinese character face, a rough beard on his chin, and a long black backpack behind his back.

Beside the man is a woman with slanted eyes wearing a sun hat and gold jewelry on her ears and neck.

The woman said calmly: "Of all the trains today, only the train to Nagoya has been temporarily changed..."

The conductor looked at the two of them and recognized them.

"It turns out it's Mr. Noto and Miss Deha. You two are here to ride the mysterious train again this year..."

At this moment, an old voice came from the other side of the conductor.

"Although we come every year, the only thing that can arouse our curiosity and interest are the reasoning puzzles held in the car..."

The old woman in the wheelchair wore a hat with a dim veil hanging down, like the veil that widowed women in Europe use to cover their faces at funerals.

The old woman looked back at the woman pushing the wheelchair behind her and asked, "Are you right? Sumitomo?"

"Yes, ma'am."

The conductor looked at the people in front of him and immediately stood respectfully.

"As expected of all of you who are keen on reasoning, I am blind to the truth..."

At this time, a fat man ran up from not far away and came over to question the conductor.

"Hey! What's going on?"

"I have been booking first-class cabin No. 8 for a long time. Why did it become No. 7 this time?"

The conductor immediately apologized, "I'm really sorry. This matter is the same as what I contacted you a few days ago..."

"Due to a system error, your first reservation was unsuccessful. When I made your second reservation, I could only change the location of your room, Mr. Murohashi."

The man named "Murohashi" became even more angry when he heard this.

"Damn it! I have always liked that location, so I make a reservation as soon as possible every year when reservations open!"

"Who on earth stepped in and took my position!"

The conductor narrowed his eyes and smiled, not embarrassed to tell the real reason why the reservation failed.

In fact, the real reason is that the carriage was booked by Suzuki Jirokichi.

No matter how fast you are, can you beat the organizer?

However, it is said that Suzuki Jiroyoshi will not be riding this train, but will be given to another important member of the Suzuki Consortium.

But just when the conductor was about to fool him and wait for the other party to calm down, a voice came from not far away.

"That's me..."

I saw a middle-aged man in a blue suit walking over while stroking his beard under his nose.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, because my daughter is friends with the owner of this train, so I cut in line..."

"But you can rest assured, as long as I'm on this train, no matter what strange things happen in the train, I, the famous detective Maori Bolang, will make all the truth come to light!"

After the voice fell, this "Mauri Bolang" also winked playfully and lit a cigarette.

Of course, "Mauri Bolang" is not his real name, Maori Kogoro is.

The people present recognized Maori Kogoro's identity, and their faces were shocked at the same time, and they were shocked and speechless.

But at this moment, Maori Ran's voice came from behind.

"Dad! What are you doing here?"

Maori Kogoro, who was holding a cigarette, was stunned, "I was just saying hello to the other passengers in the No. 8 carriage..."

"Really, you can't smoke here!"

Maori Ran snatched the cigarette from Maori Kogoro's mouth and stuffed it into the ashtray he carried with him.

"Come with me now. We have to take a group photo in front of Car No. 6 before departure. You are the only one missing."

"Oh, so that's it..."

Just like that, Maori Kogoro, who was pretending to be cool, was forcibly pushed away by Maori Ran.

However, Conan, who was worried that Maori Kogoro's pretense would be exposed, looked at the passengers in Car No. 8 standing there, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Why is the atmosphere suddenly tense?

Is it because of the reaction after knowing that his uncle is a detective?

...

Mauri Kogoro returned to the team, and the whole team gathered.

The Maori family of three, plus Dr. Agasa, Haibara Ai, the three little ones, Sonoko and Sera, a total of 10 people.

Among them, Maori Kogoro, Maori Ran, and Sonoko got on the car No. 8, which is the luxury car.

This is the closest to the gem that Kaito Kid might take, and it is also a good position to get the moon first.

Dr. Agasa and all the members of the Junior Detective Team boarded the train in Car No. 6, which was one car away.

Sera was the only passenger in Car No. 5, so she had to board the train alone.

"Bye~"

"I'll visit your car after the train leaves!"

Sera waved to the people in other cars, and then showed the ring pass on her finger to the conductor.

"Welcome to this mysterious train."

The conductor bowed slightly and invited Sera to board the train.

She walked a few meters forward in the car and soon found her own compartment.

Since Masumi Sera got the news of the mysterious train late, she didn't get a ticket for a single compartment and had to share a compartment with others.

When she pushed the door and entered, the stranger who was traveling with her was already sitting on the chair.

"Hello, my name is Masumi Sera~"

Sera took the initiative to greet the stranger.

The stranger also raised his head and smiled politely in return.

"Hello, my name is Wakasa..."

"Wakasa Rumi."
