Chapter 431 Journey to Kanmon Strait

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Kanmon Strait is a body of water connecting Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, on the west side of Honshu, and Moji District, Kyushu City, on the north side of Kyushu.

Because this is the western gateway to the Seto Inland Sea, it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

If she were personified, there is no doubt that "she" is a scumbag, wandering between the "handsome guy from Honshu" and the "handsome guy from Kyushu", but her indifference seems a bit subtle.

And here is the destination of Tang Ze and his party.

The four of them got together early in the morning and boarded the Shinkansen. Although it was a holiday, there were obviously not many people on the Shinkansen this time, so Karasawa sat in the empty seat next to Conan.

Mouri Kogoro is indeed a veteran drunkard. He brought beer with him. He started drinking it not long after getting in the car. He originally wanted to drag Karasawa with him, but he refused directly.

Listening to Mouri Kogoro bragging about his lottery winning deeds, Karasawa felt no fluctuation in his heart and even wanted to laugh a little.

If the lottery is just to trigger a case, then it’s hard to say whether this is luck or misfortune.

"What? The only option left for you now is suicide?"

"Then you should kill yourself quickly, hurry up, hurry up!"

Just when the train was about to arrive at Guanmen Station, an unpleasant voice suddenly sounded, and a man wearing sunglasses and a suit with dyed brown hair passed by several people holding a mobile phone.

"I have always survived in this way. I will not show mercy to those who are an eyesore, not to mention that being able to eradicate them quickly is just what I want!"

Listening to the man's words, several people couldn't help but focus on the other person, and finally watched the other person disappear in this section of the train.

Looking at the other person's back, Tang Ze touched his chin thoughtfully.

Since it is a "travel reasoning", according to "Ke Xue's Law", the case clearly started from the moment Tangze got on the train.

And there is a "little knowledge" in this, that is, before the crime starts, the deceased or the murderer will show up in front of them, reveal some information, and lead to the case incidentally.

It can be said that every moment experienced at this time may be important information or even key evidence in subsequent cases.

"Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at Shimonoseki Station. Please get off the train from the left door."

As the exit warning sounded at the station, the train slowly began to slow down.

"We're at the station, let's go." Standing up, Tang Ze woke up the three people who were still looking at the carriage door, and the group walked towards the carriage door.

After getting out of the car, Tangze became a transparent person who had opinions, and followed the three of them to the scenic spots without expressing any opinions.

After some discussion, everyone decided to take a look at the entire Kanmon Strait scenery first, and then went to the Strait Dream Tower.

This is the most iconic regional building in the Kanmon Strait, with a total height of 143 meters. It is the best observation tower.

"Conan, look, there is a huge spherical building up here." Looking up at the tall tower in front of her, Xiaolan pointed to the top and said happily.

“According to the introduction brochure, this is the first building in Neon with a spherical tower top!”

When Conan looked at his happy girlfriend, his expression softened and his voice sounded cute. Tang Ze, who was watching aside, rolled his eyes.

A group of people took the elevator to the top of the tower and used sightseeing binoculars in the observation hall to enjoy the beautiful scenery around them.

It is not unreasonable for this observatory to be the first neon to adopt a circular shape.

Because of its unique geographical location, it can be said that every angle here is a unique scenery.

Not only can you see the whole of Honshu Island, but you can also see Kyushu Island on the other side.

"Conan-kun, come and see!" Xiaolan waved while looking at the distant scenery with a sightseeing telescope, "You can see the entire Xiaguan panorama from here!"

"Indeed, the scenery is pretty good." Karasawa saw the small island in the distance and said, "The island in the middle should be Ganliu Island, right?"

"That's it." Conan nodded: "The legendary place where Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro dueled."

"If you see it with your own eyes, this island feels very small." Xiaolan sighed.

"Speaking of which, the Kanmon Strait is much smaller than expected."

Mouri Kogoro took the travel brochure and said: "The introduction above says that the narrowest point is only about 700 meters. If you run at full strength, you can reach Kyushu in about five minutes."

But after hearing what Mouri Kogoro said, Xiaolan said angrily: "Dad, have you forgotten that there is a sea in between? How are you going to run on the sea!"

When the conversation between the two ended, they found that the two men and two women standing next to them had their heads turned towards their group at the same time.

"Really..." Xiaolan said with some embarrassment: "Dad is always like this every time he comes out. He always gets embarrassed in some places..."

But at this moment, a man wearing an orange coat came over and said with a smile: "Actually, you can really run across the strait."

"Eh?" Conan was startled for a moment, then pointed to the bridge outside and said, "Uncle, are you talking about running across the Kanmon Bridge?"

"No." The man smiled and waved his hand and said, "That bridge is a dedicated lane for cars."

"We are talking about the bottom of Kanmon Bridge." The chubby boy next to the other party explained with a smile: "There is an undersea tunnel there specially for people to walk."

"Oh...it turns out there is such a place." Xiaolan thanked after hearing this: "Thank you, you are so familiar with this place!"

"That's because we are all locals living nearby." A short-haired girl wearing a pink coat walked over with a smile.

When the girl in a green coat next to her approached the crowd, she saw Mouri Kogoro in front of her and Karasawa beside her, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, "You two... are you from the "Famous Detective" Moori?"

Mr. Goro and Mr. Karasawa, the “famous criminal”!?”

"That's right, it's us." When Detective Maori saw that a female fan actually recognized him, a flush flashed across his old face, and his expression became rippled. Conan just rolled his eyes as he watched.

"I knew it!!"

The girl in green clothes looked at her three companions who were looking at her blankly and quickly explained: "It's the famous detective and the famous criminal from Tokyo! I also borrowed your Karazawa Criminal's works to show you before.

Woolen cloth!!"

Karasawa didn't expect that one day he would have the opportunity to brush his face, and it seemed that the other person was a fan of his books, so he smiled and said hello, "Hello, I'm Karasawa Genichi."

After hearing Tang Ze's words, the surprised people suddenly woke up. Remembering that they had not introduced themselves yet, they all announced their names one after another.
