The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 1400 The Dark Mysterious Train (Fire)

"Five years ago?"

At this time, Mouri Kogoro has not yet found out the relationship between the people in Car No. 8, and only thinks that they are "comrades" who have ridden this mysterious train together all year round.

Miss Deha next to her looked startled, "Are you talking about the fire five years ago?"

"Yes..." Anton lowered his head and nodded.

"What fire?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.

At this time, Anton had completely seen through the method of committing the crime, and there was no need to reserve the motive for the crime, so he took the initiative to explain it.

"Actually, all of us are survivors of a villa fire five years ago."

"That villa belongs to a capitalist. The capitalist held a birthday party in the villa that day and invited us to attend."

"My wife and I were at a party that night, but I was the only one who made it out of the fire alive."

"Originally I thought it was just an unfortunate accident, but it wasn't until two years ago that I saw the painting that was supposed to be burned in the fire being sold at an art auction."

"I thought it was very strange, so I secretly investigated the person behind the painting, and the name I finally found out turned out to be Murohashi..."

Hearing this, other people in Car No. 8 showed surprised expressions.

Only Qin Zhibo had already guessed that the fire incident five years ago must be the motive, so he was not surprised.

Anton continued to state: "Murohashi stole paintings from the villa, and then in order to cover up his theft, he set fire to the capitalist's collection room."

"Unexpectedly, the fire got bigger and bigger, killing many innocent people..."

"I originally thought that the man, like us, had always wanted to mourn the people who died in the fire incident, so he would take the first-class carriage specially built by the Suzuki Consortium for the capitalist every year, so I wanted to persuade him to surrender."

"But when he played the victim in the mystery game and I played the kid who was waiting to find the clues together with the prisoner, the guy said..."

"Playing the victim made him very excited, and it gave him a feeling that he was still alive... It also reminded him of the precious memories of being rescued from the fire and finally surviving."

"I didn't expect that man to say those words with a happy face!"

"Obviously even my wife died in the thick smoke..."

Having said this, Anton sobbed and shed two lines of tears.

Qin Zhibo looked at Anton expressionlessly and understood that he should be prepared.

If Murohashi had a good attitude towards confessing and surrendered to the police, he would not have killed anyone.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to kill his enemies with his own hands.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro said seriously: "For the rest, just wait until the train stops and talk to the police."

In order to prevent Anton from escaping or committing suicide, Maori Kogoro decided to lock him in his own compartment and wait for the train to stop before handing him over to the police.

Just as Mouri Kogoro was escorting people to Room C, Sera Masumi ran over from the end of the corridor and brought the identification results of the three little ones.

"Those videos are useless! Those children said..."

Sera Masumi ran over and saw Anton walking into Room C with tears on his face, and he instantly realized something.

"Has the murderer been found?"

"yes……"

As soon as Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, the conductor next to him immediately began to flatter him.

"As expected of the famous detective Mr. Kogoro Mori! What a wonderful reasoning!"

Upon hearing this compliment, Mouri Kogoro, whose vanity was satisfied, immediately scratched his head and laughed and said: "Haha~ As long as I, Mouri Boro, take action in a case of this level, it will be a piece of cake!"

However, Sera Masumi turned her head meaningfully to look at Conan who was standing low.

Only this little "magician" could solve the case in such a short period of time...

Conan didn't notice Sera's pure eyes, but kept reviewing the reasoning process of the case just now.

Although Mouri Kogoro completed the reasoning under his own prompts, this time even he was dragged along by someone.

The man should really be the first to solve the case...

Conan turned to look at one of the passengers in Car No. 8, Mr. Noto in Room A, who was standing aside.

Although the passengers in this carriage came to mourn the victims of the fire, they were also fans of reasoning and must have certain reasoning abilities.

But with such outstanding reasoning ability, he is no longer an ordinary reasoning fan.

He was the first to use the elimination method to identify the murderer, and he was also the first to discover that there was something wrong with the paintings carried by the murderer and take the initiative to bring the topic to it.

That seemed to be Mouri Kogoro's own reasoning, but it was actually made under his guidance.

Also, when he was planning to help Kogoro Moori to rescue him, this man directly handed him a rope to demonstrate the murderer's technique of opening the door.

There is even an extra iron ring on the broken anti-theft chain. This person can see through it at a glance without entering the scene, and can see from it the manufacturing method of the secret room.

Such terrifying reasoning and observation abilities...

Who is this man?

Conan's eyes were fixed on the man in front of him, and suddenly he saw that the man did not have a train pass ring on his hand.

Although the ring was a pass for boarding the train, it did not belong to the passengers and had to be returned to the organizer after getting off the train.

Most people are afraid of losing their rings during the ride, so they choose to wear them on their hands, including their own.

But the man didn't wear the ring.

why is that?

Suddenly, Conan's eyes changed, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

The reason why I don't wear a ring is probably because the size of the ring doesn't fit the thickness of my finger. I'm afraid that others will notice this, so I just don't wear it.

However, before the organizer distributes the rings, it will collect data on the thickness of the passengers’ fingers and then distribute rings of appropriate sizes.

And the size of the "Noto" ring in front of me is not suitable for the thickness of the finger, which can only mean...

The person in front of me is not the real Noto!

Apart from Belmod, there is only that person in the world who has such superb disguise and voice-changing skills!

Thinking of this, Conan quietly came to "Noto"'s feet and spoke lightly with his little hands behind his back.

"Didn't you say you would never look at gems again?"

Qin Zhibo, who was thinking about something, looked down and saw a dwarf with drooped eyelids, looking up at him with helpless eyes.

"Kid, what are you talking about?"

"Stop pretending..."

In order to avoid being discovered by others, Conan turned around and said calmly: "You are not wearing that ring because the thickness of the ring does not fit your finger, right?"

"Didn't I make a good point on the plane before? I will never take action against gems again..."

Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Conan recognized him as Kaitou Kidd.

Forehead……

Sure enough, his performance just now was a bit "smart".

But I can't blame myself for this. After all, Conan's speed in solving the case is a bit slow. Qin Zhibo is afraid that someone can't wait, and Mouri Kogoro suspects himself, so he can only help him speed up.

There are only three paths in front of him right now.

One is to admit that he is Kaitou Kidd.

But Conan will definitely go to Kuroba Kaito afterwards and teach his cousin not to stretch out his hands, otherwise he will be caught.

Kuroba Kaito became Kuroba Kaito.

The second is to acknowledge "I am your father" - Qin Zhibo.

However, Conan would definitely ask on the spot why he was disguised like this, and then learn about the hunting plan on the train.

The reason why he chose not to "play" with Conan this time was because Toru Amuro didn't want his undercover identity to be known to more people.

For undercover agents, it is common sense that the fewer people who know the details of the identity card, the safer they will be.

The third is to pretend to be stupid and continue to act like "Noto".

Just when Qin Zhibo was making a decision in his heart, a scream suddenly came from the D room of Car No. 8.

"ah--!"

Mouri Kogoro, who was receiving compliments, heard the sound and hurried to the door of Room D.

Just as he was about to raise his fist and knock on the door, a pair of figures rushed out.

It was the old woman in the wheelchair in Room D, and the muscular maid who accompanied her.

"Hey! What's going on?" Mouri Kogoro asked, grabbing the strong maid's arm.

"Fire!"

"There's a fire in the room!"

Mouri Kogoro turned his head and looked into the room. The thick smoke in the room blocked his view, and the smell was very choking, making it impossible to go in and check.

"on fire?!"

"How can it catch fire if it's so good!"

Mouri Kogoro looked surprised and confused when the passengers in Car No. 8 had already screamed in unison and ran towards Car No. 7.

When Qin Zhibo saw this, he immediately showed a frightened expression and fled with the large army.

"ah--!"

"Hello!"

When Conan saw his "cousin" screaming and running away, he wanted to chase him, but as soon as his long legs started running, he quickly disappeared.

Here, Mouri Kogoro took off his suit and wanted to rush into room D to put out the flames, but at this moment, thick smoke billowed out of the last car at the end of the train.

The conductor opened the door and took a look, but was choked by the thick smoke.

"Ahem..."

"No! The baggage workshop is also on fire!"

Sera and Conan hurried over and said anxiously: "Uncle Maori, there is no way to put it out, so we should conduct an emergency evacuation first!"

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri could only ask the conductor to quickly notify the fire situation via radio.

Car No. 6, Room D.

"Emergency notice! A fire accident occurred in Car No. 8 of this train. For safety reasons, passengers in Car No. 7 and No. 6 are asked to get up as soon as possible and go to the car in front to take refuge!"

"Repeat it again..."

Mao Lilan and others in Car No. 6 were resting in the car when they suddenly heard the conductor's urgent voice coming from the speaker on the ceiling.

"Fire?"

"I remember we are in carriage No. 6, right?"

"Um……"

"Then we have to evacuate quickly!"

The three little ones looked at each other and came to the same conclusion.

Suzuki Sonoko showed a surprised expression, and then sighed: "It can't be so unlucky, right? Why does this happen every time?"

As the host of the event, what worries Sonoko is not that his train has turned into a "real train", but why do we always encounter this kind of thing?

The last time I took the Aphrodite, the ship sank.

This time I took the Suzuki Express train and the train caught fire.

What a coincidence!

In fact, what Sonoko didn't know was that the probability of her taking transportation with Conan and others and encountering an unexpected incident was almost equal to the probability of meeting a scumbag during her early "blind date".

That’s almost 100%!

Just 10 seconds after the notification was sent, there was a "whirring" sound of running in the corridor of the carriage.

Mao Lilan opened the door and saw that the corridor was full of passengers fleeing to the front car.

After all, fire and water are ruthless, and it is urgent to escape.

"Doctor and Sonoko, take the children to the front car to take refuge first!"

"Xiaolan, what about you?"

As a good best friend, Yuanzi heard something strange in Xiaolan's words.

"I'm going to the toilet to find Xiao Ai..."

"Don't worry, I'll meet you when I find her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaolan ran back against the flow of people.

Dr. Ali and Sonoko looked at Xiaolan's retreating figure and knew that there was no way to stop her, so they could only quickly protect the three little ones and move to the car in front.

At the same time, Huihara Ai, who was still in the toilet, also heard the fire notice announced outside.

here we go……

Hui Yuan Ai looked at half of his face reflected in the mirror, and finally made up his mind.

In her right hand she held a red and white capsule, which was the temporary antidote to APTX-4869.

As long as you take this antidote, you can transform back into an adult within 30 seconds.

After turning into an adult, he took the initiative to find Belmod and tried to discuss with him whether he could die in exchange for letting the other person let go of those around him.

Although there is no guarantee that Belmode will agree to his request, this is the only way.

Hui Yuan Ai held the medicine in her right hand and slowly put it into her mouth.

Sister Narumi, Dr. Agasa, Edogawa Conan, Mao Lilan, Ayumi...

Many familiar people and faces flashed through my mind uncontrollably.

There is also a sore feeling in the eyes, as if some bitter liquid is flowing out of the corners of the eyes.

Sorry, Mom, I still don't understand...

Only this medicine cannot be made...

Hui Yuan Ai raised the capsule and was about to put it into his mouth when the toilet door next to him exploded with a bang.

Hui Yuan Ai was startled and turned around like a frightened kitten.

I saw Mao Lilan holding the door frame with both hands, breathing heavily.

"Huh...huh..."

"Xiao Ai, come with me quickly!"

The background behind Mao Lilan is the spreading thick smoke, and the fire seems to have spread to this carriage.

Before Hui Yuan Ai understood what was going on, Mao Lilan took her out of the toilet and forcibly carried her forward.

In Mao Lilan's strong embrace, Hui Yuan Ai could not make any struggling movements and could only let him control her.

"You...how did you find me?"

"I asked the conductor and said that a girl asked for a blanket and then entered the toilet in Car No. 7..."

Mao Lilan ran forward while answering Haihara Ai's question.

Only then did Haihara Ai remember that in order to prevent herself from dying in an ugly and half-clothed manner when she grew older, she asked the conductor in advance for a blanket to wrap her body around.

Now that blanket has also been left in the toilet.

It seems like I can’t go back and get it…
