After passing through Car No. 6, Conan and the three children arrived at Car No. 7. They wanted to open the door of Room A in Car No. 7, but were stopped by a middle-aged man walking from the direction of Car No. 6.
"What are you doing at the door of my room?" The burly middle-aged man looked at the four children with doubtful eyes, opened the door in front of him, and walked into the room muttering, "I just went to the dining car.
How come there are so many children gathering at the door during this trip..."
The ghost Koizumi Anko looked confused, "Isn't this Room A of Car No. 7? It's the room originally booked by the Son of Nature, but it was later given to these children to arrange. How could this man say that this is his room?"
Conan was also a little confused, and quickly stopped the man who was about to close the door, "Wait, wait, uncle! Isn't this Room A of Car No. 7?"
"No, this is Car No. 8, Room A, No. 8! If you get lost, go find the conductor!"
The middle-aged man closed the door with a speechless expression.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki turned to look at the conductor at the end of the aisle. He was startled for a moment and frowned in confusion. "There is a conductor in each car here sitting on the chair at the end of the aisle, right? I remember that this conductor is indeed 8
The conductor in Car No. 8, when we got to Car No. 8, he was sitting at the end of the aisle..."
Conan also saw the conductor at the end of the aisle, and was stunned for a moment. He quickly looked at the door next to him, walked forward and opened the door.
In the room, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were sitting on the sofa, pouring tea, and Sera Masumi stood in front of the sofa opposite them, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be happily chatting.
The door suddenly opened, causing the three girls in the room to turn their heads and look at the door, with confused expressions on their faces.
"Huh?"
"Conan?"
After Suzuki Sonoko came to her senses, she even reminded with a dissatisfied look on her face, "Knock on the door before entering a girl's room!"
Conan looked at the three people in the room, then at the steaming teapot in Mao Lilan's hand, and walked in without giving up to confirm, "This is Car No. 7, right?"
They came from Car No. 5, where the doctor and Haiyuan were, and only passed one car in between, so this should be Car No. 7!
"This is carriage No. 8." Mao Lilan said with a smile.
"Room B, Car No. 8," Suzuki Sonoko glanced at Conan with half-moon eyes, "This is the room that Xiaolan's father successfully booked!"
"Didn't I tell you before?" Sera Masaki said with a smile, "We will have a tea party here in Room B of Car No. 8. You and the doctor go to Room A of Car No. 7..."
"Okay, kid, get out of here right now," Suzuki Sonoko kicked Conan out of the door. "We still have secrets between girls that we want to share. You kid, don't even think about eavesdropping!"
"Bang."
The room door was closed.
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko stood beside Conan, staring blankly at the closed door in front of them like Conan.
After staying for a moment, Yuan Taicai said with a confused look, "This should be Car No. 7, right? Why does everyone say this is Car No. 8?"
"Is it possible... has Car No. 7 disappeared?" Mitsuhiko's face turned pale as he imagined ghost trains, ghost legends and other horror stories in his mind.
Conan frowned, turned around and walked to the car in front, "Let's try again!"
Koizumi Hongzi was a little confused, "What on earth is going on? Isn't this Car No. 7? Where did Car No. 7 go?"
Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at Room B in front of him, thought for a moment, and walked into the room, "It must be a prank. The moment the garden closed, I saw..."
In the room, Suzuki Sonoko leaned against the door and laughed out loud, "Hahaha... those brats have left. I don't think the brat with glasses is that good either. Didn't he get fooled this time too?"
"Our acting skills are so good, it's hard for them not to be fooled," Sera Masumi also had a happy smile on her face, as if the plot was successful, "Before, I was worried that Xiaolan couldn't bear to deceive the children, and thus exposed her flaws, but I didn't expect
Xiaolan acted so well!"
"People who like reasoning are adventurers. They can get unimaginable happiness from overcoming difficulties and solving puzzles," Mao Lilan said with a smile. "The more difficult the puzzle, the more sense of accomplishment they will have after solving it, right? I
Of course you have to go all out!"
"That's true, but people who like reasoning are adventurers..." Sera Masumi joked, "This should be said by Kudo, right?"
Koizumi Anko poked her head into the room, looked at the joyful atmosphere in the room, and vaguely guessed the truth. When she saw Koshizui Nanatsuki returning to the corridor, she tried to find Koshimizu Nanatsuki to confirm, "What on earth is this..."
"This is the mystery puzzle on the Suzuki Express train. The title may be 'The Disappeared Car No. 7', but it is actually a scam to bribe others to help with the acting." Koshimizu Nanatsuki started to walk to the rear car. "Someone reminded me through the card
, let the children act as detectives and go to Room B of Car No. 7 in ten minutes. Conan and the others went to see the doctor before. Xiao Ai said this, you must have heard it, right?"
Koizumi nodded, "I heard it all."
"I remember that the person who booked cabin B on train No. 7 was a fat uncle. I thought that after the children arrived on time, the uncle might have been attacked, or he might not be in the room, and there were signs of kidnapping in the room.
In short, the children must have got some clues. In order to investigate, they went out to look for witnesses and clues in other places," Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with a smile, "When the children left Car No. 7, the uncle who was originally in Room A of Car No. 8 came
According to the card instructions he received, he moved to Room A of Car No. 7. Xiaolan, Sonoko and Sera who were originally in Room B of Car No. 8 should have also received the cards. According to the card instructions, they moved to Room B of Car No. 7.
Passengers exchanged rooms, which means that Car No. 7 did not disappear, this is Car No. 7, but the passengers in Car No. 8 A and B were moved to Car No. 7 according to the instructions."
While talking, the ghost group arrived in front of the door connecting the carriages.
Koizumi Hongzi looked at the conductor sitting next to the door, "Even the conductor made the exchange according to the card prompts, right?"
Feimo Shota saw Koshizui Nanatsuki's body passing through the door in front, and Wuming followed with his head above his head, "So many people are involved, it's like a prank."
As expected, behind that door was not the freight car behind Car No. 8, but the first-class carriage carrying passengers.
"This is the real No. 8 carriage. Just look at whether the passenger in compartment B of compartment 8 is the fat uncle, and you can confirm that they have made an exchange." Koshimizu Nanatsuki took the lead and walked to the door of compartment B, projecting
His body passed through the door and went directly to room B, "It can also prove that my reasoning... is correct..."
In the room, the person sitting on the sofa was indeed the fat middle-aged man, but at this moment, the man was being pointed at a gun, and he had his hands on his body with a look of fear on his face.
"No, don't be impulsive. I will do as you say... There must be some misunderstanding between us..."
Just when Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Anko Koizumi, and Shota Feimo entered the room and saw the man's situation clearly, the man with the gun pulled the trigger mercilessly.
"call out!"
The pistol was equipped with a silencer, so the gunshot was not harsh and was muffled by the sound of the moving train.
A bullet was fired from the pistol on the man's side, hit the man's temple, and then passed directly through his head and entered the wall of the car.
As soon as they entered the door, they witnessed the murder scene, which made Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Koizumi Anko froze on the spot.
Feimo Zhengtai was also stunned for a moment, looking at the gunman, "I remember him, the skinny man who booked room C next door..."
After the skinny man committed the murder, he took two deep breaths, softened his ferocious and frightened expression, and quickly stuffed the pistol into the deceased's right hand.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Koizumi Anko turned to look at each other, and they both saw the same surprise in each other's eyes. What was really surprising was not the skinny man's behavior, but what Chi Feichi said to them when he left Fifteen Nights City the day before yesterday.
Before leaving Fifteen Nights City, Chi Feichi entered multiple action plans into the Ark, which could help them deal with various situations.
One of the preset conditions for the action plan is that Chi Feichi is not on the train and is inconvenient to talk.
Since the switch of the space formation was at Chi Fei Chi's place, they needed Wuming to be Chi Fei Chi's eyes so that Chi Fei Chi could see the situation here and activate the space formation to save people at the critical moment.
In this action plan, there are also some "trigger regulations" that Chi Feichi has set in advance.
for example……
[If a murder occurs in Car No. 8, they will split up. One team must keep an eye on Xiao Ai, and the other team is free to choose key figures to follow and monitor, or go out to investigate]
Because Chi Feichi had preset many 'ifs', they did not think that a murder would definitely happen on the train at the time, and did not pay special attention to it. It was not until the case happened in front of them that they instantly understood what this 'triggering regulation' meant.
prophet!
Someone predicted the murder that happened on the train today as early as two days ago, and even told the specific location of 'Car No. 8'.
"Although he predicted that Xiao Ai would be in danger, I also know that his ability to predict is very strong, and he may be able to predict more scenes than a crystal ball." Koizumi Hongzi was surprised and murmured unconsciously, "But I didn't expect that
He is actually able to predict the specific location two days in advance. I am afraid he can see a lot more scenes than I imagined..."
"Those of you who can predict are scary," Nanatsuki Koshizui complained in a low voice. He ignored the murderer who was cleaning up the scene in the room, turned around and walked out, his expression became more serious, and he grabbed the nameless person from the head of Fei Moshota.
, hugged her in her arms, "Anyway, we will split up immediately according to the plan. I will go to Xiao Ai's side!"
The grouping was also arranged by Chi Feichi in advance.
Wu Ming and Fei Mo both have eye patterns imprinted on their bodies, which can be remotely activated by Chi Fei Chi to act as the eyes that Chi Fei Chi placed on the ghost train. Therefore, once they are grouped together, it is best to have Wu Ming and Fei Mo in different groups and let Chi
Fei Chi can see the situation on both sides.
Considering Koizumi Anko's lack of experience in observation and reasoning, the grouping plan is - Koshimizu Nanatsuki is in a group with Wuming, and Koizumi Anko is in a group with Feimo Shota.
After the group operation began, Koshimizu Nanatsuki carried Wuming to Room E of Car No. 5 and stayed by Haibara Ai's side.
Koizumi Anko and Feimo Shota discussed it and originally wanted to go to Car No. 6 to see what happened to Amuro Tohru, but they saw Akai Shuichi with a scarred face walking towards him in the corridor, so they followed him decisively.
On the other side, Chi Feichi, who was far away in Nagoya, used the eye projection in front of Wuming to see that Haihara Ai was fine. He estimated that nothing would happen to Haihara Ai for a while, so he disconnected his left eye from Wuming.
The ability to see objects is connected to the non-Mo Shota side.
He can only link to one imprint at a time, and can only view one group, not two groups at the same time. This is a small flaw of this metaphysical remote communicator.
But as long as he seizes the opportunity to switch, he can also monitor the situation on both sides.
