The Grammatical Investigator in Conan
Chapter 1396 The Dark Mysterious Train (Case)
"Coming! Coming!"
The bespectacled conductor glanced at the indicator lights on each room and immediately confirmed that the room being called was Room E at the end of the carriage.
He quickly ran from the front of the car to the back, first turned off the indicator light, and then knocked on the door.
"Miss Deha?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in the room opened the door, came up and said angrily to the conductor: "I said you can't think of something?"
"Think about what?"
"It's a voice!"
The woman named "Debo" pinched her waist, raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "There are strange noises in my room all the time!"
"Sound? But I didn't hear it..."
The conductor tried to talk back, but the woman scolded her even more arrogantly, "There were strange noises just now. Do you think I'm lying?"
"No, there is absolutely no such thing..." The conductor quickly backed away to defend.
At this moment, a "beep" sound sounded in the room. Although it was weak, it was indeed quite debatable.
"Did you hear it this time? That's the sound!"
"Indeed... I think someone may have left a phone or something in the room?"
While talking, the conductor was about to enter the room to check.
But Debo immediately pushed him out of the door, "Don't come in casually, I will find it myself!"
"And what I'm trying to say is why didn't I notice someone left the phone in my room before departure?"
"Well, I'm really sorry..."
The conductor could only scratch his head and apologize.
At the same time, from a room in the middle of the carriage, a man with glasses and a beard came out and asked, "Um...what happened?"
At the corner of compartment A, Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan, and Sera just walked over.
In the dim corridor, Yuanzi glanced at the other people in the corridor, then went straight to Room B and knocked on the door.
"Come here, this is our room."
Yuanzi knocked on the door and said, "Hey, uncle, the trap you set has been solved..."
"Hurry up and explain to everyone!"
However, no one in the room answered.
Yuanzi lowered his eyelids and complained: "I hate it. Could it be that he fell asleep in our room?"
With that said, Sonoko reached for the door handle.
The door was not locked, but as soon as the 10cm gap was opened, the door suddenly stopped.
It turned out that the door was still tied with an anti-theft chain and could not be opened completely.
Yuanzi cast his gaze at the crack in the door and scolded the fat man sitting on the seat unhappily, "Uncle, don't sleep there!"
"Hurry up and unlock the door and return the room to us!"
Xiaolan, who was behind, saw this and asked what was going on.
Yuanzi replied nonchalantly: "I saw that uncle sitting on the sofa and falling asleep. There was a bunch of blood bleeding from his temple. He looked like he was dead..."
"I guess it must be another mystery game puzzle, right?"
Sonoko did not realize the seriousness of the problem, but when Conan and Sera Majun heard this, their expressions immediately became startled, and their eyes became serious.
The two of them immediately rushed to the front of the garden and looked at the situation inside the carriage.
Sure enough, as Sonoko had said, the fat passenger was sitting on the sofa chair, his right temple bleeding, and he was holding a silenced pistol in his right hand.
However, Conan, who has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke in the room.
If it were acting, it wouldn't be like this.
"Something's wrong! Open the door quickly!"
Conan shouted seriously, and Sera immediately understood.
The two of them went up and down, counting down to three counts and then exerting force at the same time.
Bang!
The anti-theft chain snapped, and the two rushed into the room one after the other.
Taking advantage of his height, Seriang felt the pulse on his neck, then opened his eyelids and looked at the condition of his pupils.
"No, he is really dead..."
"What?!"
Hearing this, the Young Detective Team, Mao Yuan and others at the door were startled and took half a step back.
Conan checked the status of the pistol and found that it was a real gun, the safety bolt was open, and the model was a Makarov pistol.
Looking back at the status of the anti-theft chain, it was indeed installed just now.
In other words, this was entirely a secret room murder.
Standing at the door, Hui Yuan Ai looked at the corpses in the room and was already used to it.
Just when she was about to ask if she could call the police, she suddenly felt a gaze staring at her.
This sudden heart palpitation caused cold sweat to break out on her forehead, and her head subconsciously turned to the direction of her vision.
But at this moment, the train just pulled out of the tunnel.
Bright natural light shines in from the car window, instantly lighting up the dark corridor.
Huihara Ai only saw a sudden white light in his field of vision.
When my eyes gradually adapted to the brightness, there were still a few people standing in the corridor.
Several people walked over together, including Debo who just vented his dissatisfaction, as well as the hygienic man and the conductor who came to the corridor to check.
There was also an old lady and a maid who happened to open the door to check on the situation.
At the same time, on the other side of Haihara Ai, a burly man with a beard also walked out of Car Room A next door.
Hui Yuarai looked helplessly at the left and right sides, where tall figures were slowly approaching her.
Unknowingly, I was caught between so many strangers!
Tension, anxiety, fear and other emotions intertwined, constantly attacking the fragile little heart.
At this time, Mao Lilan was concentrating on watching the tragic state of the corpse in the room, and suddenly the hem of her clothes tightened.
Turning her head and looking down, she saw Huiyuan Ai standing timidly behind her, her eyes wide open, and her two little hands tightly grasping her clothes.
"Xiao Ai, what's wrong?" Mao Lilan asked softly.
But Huiyuan Ai just stared, waiting for the next fate like a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Hey, why is it so noisy?"
"Did something happen?"
The man in Room A walked out of the room, closed the door with his backhand, and came over to ask Mao Lilan and others.
The people on the other side also came over together, asking if this reasoning puzzle had begun.
At this time, Shiliang walked out of the room and said that the man in the room was completely dead.
"What?!"
Several passengers in the No. 8 carriage stood at the door and saw that the man was indeed lying on the seat, deader than dead.
"Murohashi!"
"What's going on?!"
The man with the moustache was about to step into the room when Conan, who was standing next to the corpse, shouted at him.
"Don't come in!"
"This is the crime scene now, no one can come in!"
Conan subconsciously protected the scene, like a puppy protecting its food, and frightened the people at the door.
But Conan knew that he couldn't protect the scene by himself, so he turned to Mao Lilan and said, "Sister Xiaolan, go find Uncle Mao Li and ask him to come here quickly..."
Conan knew that the passengers in the No. 8 carriage had seen Mao Li Kogoro before getting on the train, so he could definitely scare these people by showing Mao Li Kogoro's name.
But Mao Lilan was a little hesitant at this time, because Haibara Ai was still holding the corner of her clothes.
"Xiao Ai, are you feeling unwell?"
"However, I will take you back to your room to rest first?"
However, Haibara Ai still stared with her eyes wide open, not daring to say a word.
At this moment, she didn't even dare to raise her head, for fear that if she raised her head a little, she would meet the eyes of the vultures circling her.
Those were the eyes of the organization members!
The members of the organization were nearby!
In this car!
"Little girl, why don't you send this little girl back to the room to rest, I'll go find Detective Maori."
Maori Ran turned her head and found that the person who spoke was a burly man who had just come out of Room A.
"But..."
Maori Ran's face was still a little embarrassed, but the man spoke to dispel her concerns.
"Actually, I saw the detective in the dining car just now, and I guess he is still there now..."
Hearing this, Maori Ran could only nod.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
The man turned and left.
And Huiyuan Ai looked at the man's back nervously, her eyes full of vigilance.
Anyone who came to talk to him at this time might be a member of the organization.
He took the initiative to ask to find Maori Kogoro, is he trying to attract me over?
The dining car of this train is in the middle of the train, that is, between carriages 4 and 5.
If I want to go back to Dr. Agasa's room in carriage 6 at this time, I will inevitably overlap with the man's moving route.
Maybe he is lying in ambush in the corridor in front...
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai grabbed the corner of Mao Lilan's clothes tightly, not wanting her to pass.
But Mao Lilan suddenly bent down and hugged Haibara Ai into her arms.
"Eh?"
When Haibara Ai felt the warmth, her face was also startled.
Mao Lilan smiled and said, "You are too tired to walk, right? I will carry you back to the room to rest..."
Mao Lilan misunderstood Haibara Ai's meaning, and thought that the latter was holding her tightly, wanting her to hold her, but she was shy and embarrassed to ask.
In Mao Lilan's arms, Haibara Ai came to the next carriage 7.
There was no one in the carriage.
However, carriage 6 was still in front, and it was necessary to pass through a corner of the carriage connection.
The man just now might be lying in ambush at the connection ahead...
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai clenched her hands in front of her chest, as nervous as a kitten that was frightened and had a stress response.
But when Mao Lilan carried her to the connection between the carriages, there was no one here.
The No. 6 carriage in front was also empty.
Eh?
Haibara Ai was stunned and looked around in confusion.
At this time, Mao Lilan knocked on the door of the carriage D, and Dr. Agasa opened the door to greet her.
Dr. Agasa thought that the children had come back after solving the puzzle, but he saw Mao Lilan holding Haibara Ai.
"Xiaolan, what's wrong?"
"This child seems to be tired from running just now, so I brought her back to rest."
"Oh..." Dr. Agasa asked as he moved aside, "Where are the others?"
"A murder just happened in the No. 8 carriage, Conan and the others are still staying in the No. 8 carriage..."
While explaining, Mao Lilan carried Haibara Ai into the room.
Bang.
The door was closed, and there was no sound in the corridor.
At the junction of Carriage 6 and Carriage 5, a figure was standing against the wall. It was the burly man who had volunteered to look for Maori Kogoro.
His real identity was actually Qin Zhibo in disguise.
After confirming that Haibara Ai was sent back to her room, Qin Zhibo was relieved.
He saw that Haibara Ai was frightened by the atmosphere just now and had a stress reaction, so he kindly asked Mao Lilan to send her back to her room.
As a result, even he was regarded as a person with bad intentions...
Qin Zhibo shook his head helplessly and turned to continue walking towards the dining car.
After passing through the No. 5 carriage, it was the dining car between the No. 4 and No. 5 carriages.
There were not many people in the dining car at this time. Qin Zhibo glanced and saw Mao Li Kogoro sitting in the corner and tasting red wine alone.
Mao Li Kogoro had an exaggerated spiral mustache under his nose, as if he was cosplaying the detective Poirot written by Agatha Christie.
Qin Zhibo walked to his side and said lightly: "Mr. Mao Li, your daughter asked me to pass a message to you..."
"Ah? Xiaolan?" Mao Li Kogoro was stunned for a moment and put down the red wine glass in his hand.
Qin Zhibo leaned close to his ear and told him about the murder in the carriage.
"What?"
"Take me there!"
...
In the No. 8 carriage, the people gathered in the corridor still did not leave.
The conductor reported the incident to the higher-ups and notified the whole train that all passengers were not allowed to leave the room unless necessary.
Conan took advantage of the arrival of Maori Kogoro to quickly inspect the scene to avoid being kicked out later.
Qin Zhibo was not there this time, so no one could provide him with shelter...
After a short autopsy, Conan determined that this was definitely a homicide case.
Although the pistol was in the hands of the deceased, and the temple was where suicides often fired.
But there were no burn marks on the temple, indicating that the muzzle was not against the skin.
And this pistol was equipped with a silencer barrel, and the gun body was relatively long.
If the silencer barrel was deliberately kept away from the skin, the posture of holding the gun would be more laborious, which was unnecessary for a suicide.
There was also a bullet hole on the sofa seat opposite the body.
This bullet hole was obviously made by firing a gun to make the cuffs of the body stained with gunpowder.
But how did the murderer set up this room as a secret room?
The anti-theft chain on the door was clearly in the state of hanging...
Conan was holding his chin up and thinking, and a head suddenly came up next to him.
"Conan, what do you think?"
Feeling the breeze blowing in his ears, Conan subconsciously shrank his neck and quickly turned his head to look to the side.
"Sister Sera... What do you mean by how do you think?"
"It's just a case, how do you think?"
"I..."
Conan's mouth suddenly showed an innocent smile, "I see with my eyes~"
Hearing this answer, Sera's eyelids drooped instantly, pouting and looking very dissatisfied.
Conan could only continue to smile foolishly, thinking in his heart: What answer does this guy want from me?
At this moment, a man's confident voice came from the corner of the corridor.
"You don't need to worry at all..."
"My famous detective Maori Bolang will definitely reveal the truth of this Suzuki Express train murder case in a gorgeous way!"
