After entering the compartment on the Beidou Star train, Conan opened his backpack, took out the book he carried and read through it.
Although he was already familiar with the contents of the book, he heard that the actual purpose of the inn owner was to show off his collection in front of a group of fans. In order to prevent the book from being taken away, the test he gave would be very difficult.
Therefore, Conan decided to review it again, trying to memorize even the punctuation marks, so that no matter how difficult the innkeeper was, he could get the treasured book.
…
Soon it was late at night, and the ticket included a late-night snack.
Shiraishi and Haihara Ai tidied up the room, passed by the closed box doors, and headed to the dining car.
The light in the corridor is darker than that in the dining car.
When he was approaching the end of the corridor, Hui Yuan Ai suddenly stopped.
Then she raised her hand and grabbed Bai Shi.
Baishi stopped, glanced down at her, and then followed her line of sight. When his eyes fell on a certain dining table, he understood.
——Conan was sitting on the dining table with his back to them. Next to him was Maori Lan, and opposite him was Maori Kogoro. None of the three of them noticed this.
Hui Yuan Ai pressed her forehead and took a slow breath: "Let's eat instant noodles tonight, I remember you brought them."
"Huh?" Shiraishi secretly stuffed a few packets of instant noodles into his luggage. He thought Haibara Ai didn't know, "Didn't you say that is unhealthy?"
"It's acceptable to eat about once a week. I'll prepare healthy food for you when we get to the place." Haibara Ai was very determined, "Don't get close to him. If you don't get enough rest today because of all the messy things, you won't have enough energy tomorrow."
Sightseeing.”
Shiraishi treats instant noodles and late-night snacks equally, and he can eat whatever he likes. Anyway, he brings enough hot sauce packets.
After the two reached an agreement, they planned to go back to the room. When they turned around, they almost bumped into a woman.
The man was slender, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses at night, and the lower half of his face was delicate and beautiful.
When these factors were combined, if she hadn't been wearing a pink skirt, Shiraishi would have almost thought that a member of some organization had gotten into the car.
The woman glanced at them with interest, nodded towards them, and walked past them to the dining car.
Hui Yuan Ai looked at her in shock for a while. It wasn't until the woman sat down at the dining table that she came back to her senses and returned to the box thoughtfully.
She looked quite abnormal.
When Bai Shi came back after receiving the boiled water, he saw that she was still thinking and asked casually: "Do you know that person?"
If it is a character related to the main plot, maybe I can also think of the relevant plot.
Yes, although Shiraishi did not discriminate against Conan's trouble-making physique, he never questioned Conan's ability to bring cases - on this latter point alone, he and Haibara Ai reached a consensus.
When Hui Yuan Ai heard his words, she raised her head in confusion:
"You don't know her? I thought everyone of your generation knew her. Her name was Fujimine Yukiko. She was a movie star that my deceased sister liked very much. But she got married and retired, and now her name is..."
At the mention of that surname, Haihara Ai's forehead jumped twice, and he didn't want to admit it and said: "...Now my name is Kudo Yukiko." That is Kudo Shinichi's mother.
This is a rare opportunity. Haibara Ai actually wants an autograph so that when he returns to Tokyo, he will burn it for his sister.
It's just that I haven't been able to find my sister's body so far, and I don't know where to burn it... I'd better wait to sell a few more patents and save enough money to buy her a tomb.
However, names cannot be engraved, otherwise if someone from the organization sees it when they go to the cemetery, they will inevitably become suspicious.
But having said that, she actually didn't remember her sister's name. Knowing that her sister's surname was Miyano, she inferred it from her original name, "Miyano Shiho".
Before taking the medicine, Hui Yuan Ai was already in a daze and couldn't remember much about her sister. But at that time, she felt that it was just the brain's self-protection mechanism that allowed her to avoid related matters.
But now, so much time has passed, and she still can't remember...it must be APTX4869's fault.
The detective's brain was damaged by the medicine, and she forgot about her sister.
Could the side effect of this drug be that it destroys the most cherished things in the brain?
It's really scary.
Also, the detective clearly showed that he liked Xiaolan so much, but under the side effects of APTX4869, he could still remember Mao Lilan so clearly... Oh, this scumbag.
Shiraishi didn't notice Haibara's uncontrollably changing expression. He was thinking about "Yukiko" - isn't that Conan's fucking name?
Conan, his mother, and this train called Big Dipper...
The puzzle is complete and Shiraishi's memory is revived - no wonder this route sounds familiar.
When Haibara Ai found the instant noodles and turned around to heat water inside, Shiraishi glanced at the task bar.
There is really one more task in it.
[Rescue the playful wife who took risks]
"..." This wording suggests that you have secretly read some strange book.
Anyway, from the perspective of "fun", this really seems to be referring to Kudo Yukiko.
Coupled with "taking risks"... Shiraishi was even more impressed.
——Ten years ago, Kudo Yusaku lost an unpublished mystery novel manuscript.
The manuscript was actually not finished yet, but Yusaku Kudo was too lazy to restore it, so he stopped writing the story.
The manuscript eventually fell into the hands of a criminal. Ten years later, the criminal imitated the method in the novel and committed a murder on the "Big Dipper" train.
After the case occurred, Conan finally figured out the modus operandi through hard reasoning, but he had no evidence.
In order to expose the other party, Conan thought of a clever trick.
He planned to pretend to notice important clues first, and then deliberately be vague in front of the police, only telling half of the story and saying that he would have to wait for a while to remember the rest.
Afterwards, the criminal will probably be tempted to silence him, and then he can be caught in one fell swoop.
But just when Conan showed a confident smile for this idea, a few narrations suddenly flashed in his mind.
That was what he read when he was a child, the contents of that lost manuscript——
"The young man wearing black-rimmed glasses showed a boastful smile,
At this time, he did not know that he would fall into the fate of being murdered because of his pride and underestimation of the enemy..."
The joy of victory has not yet come over me.
I was heartbroken by these two narrations.
The smile on Conan's face suddenly solidified.
After a moment of silence, he approached Yukiko Kudo, who suddenly returned to China and took the same train with him, and asked if there was a gay young man in the manuscript.
"Yes." Yukiko Kudo remembered something, and she told Conan in a cheerful tone, "It was a proud passer-by who claimed to be a detective. Because he was too pushy, he was pushed under the wheel of the murderer while waiting for a bus.
