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, what do you think?"
"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 himself.
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 walked into 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 find 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, in 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, Maori Ran, 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.
"We're 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, Yuanzi reached out and pulled 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 fully opened.
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 lot of blood bleeding from his temple. He looked like he was dead..."
"I guess it must be another mystery game puzzle?"
Sonoko didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, but when Conan and Sera Masun 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 said, the fat passenger was sitting on the sofa chair, his right temple was bleeding, and he was holding a silenced pistol in his right hand.
However, Conan, who had 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 men 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 frightened 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-hotlink protection, it was indeed installed just now.
In other words, this is completely a secret room murder incident.
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 came 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, the hygienic man who came to check on the corridor, and the conductor.
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 Yuan Ai looked helplessly at the left and right sides, where tall figures were slowly approaching her.
Unknowingly, I was surrounded by so many strangers!
Nervousness, uneasiness, fear and other emotions were intertwined, constantly attacking that fragile little heart.
At this time, Mao Lilan was concentrating on looking at the tragic corpses in the room, and suddenly the hem of his clothes tightened.
Turning his head to look down, he saw Haiyuan Ai standing timidly behind him, his eyes widened, and his two small hands tightly grasping his clothes.
"Xiao Ai, what's wrong?" Mao Lilan asked softly.
But Hui Yuan Ai just stared, waiting for his next fate like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Hey, why is it so noisy?"
"What happened?"
The man in Room A walked out of the room, closed the door behind his back, and came over to ask Mao Lilan and others.
The people on the other side also walked over and asked if the reasoning puzzle this time had begun.
At this time Seriang walked out of the room and told him that the man in the room was completely dead.
"What?!"
Several passengers in Car No. 8 stood at the door and took a look, and found that the man was indeed lying on the seat, very dead.
"Murohashi!"
"What's going on?!"
Just as the man with the beard was about to step into the room, he was stopped by Conan who was standing next to the corpse.
"Don't even come in!"
"This is a crime scene now, no one can come in!"
Conan subconsciously protected the scene, like a puppy guarding its food, which frightened several people at the door.
But of course Conan knew that he could not 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 all the passengers in Car No. 8 had met Mouri Kogoro before getting on the train, so by showing Mouri Kogoro's name, he could definitely calm these people.
But Mao Lilan was a little hesitant at this time, because Hui Yuan Ai was still holding the corner of her clothes. "Xiao Ai, are you feeling unwell?"
"How about I send you back to your room to rest first?"
However, Hui Yuan Ai still stared, not daring to say a word.
At this moment, she didn't even dare to make a small movement like raising her head, for fear that if she raised her head just a little bit, she would meet the eyes of those vultures surrounding her.
That’s the look from the organization members!
Members of the organization are nearby!
It's in this carriage!
"Little girl, why don't you send this little girl back to her room to rest, and I'll go find Detective Maori."
Mao Lilan turned around and saw that the person speaking was a burly man who had just come out of Room A.
"But……"
Mao Lilan looked a little embarrassed, but the man opened his mouth to dispel her concerns.
"Actually, I saw that Mr. Detective in the dining car just now. I guess he is still there..."
Hearing this, Mao Lilan could only nod.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
The man turned and left.
And Hui Yuan Ai looked nervously at the man's leaving figure, his eyes full of vigilance.
Anyone who takes the initiative to chat at this time may be a member of the organization.
He took the initiative to find Kogoro Mori. Was he trying to attract me?
The dining car on this train is in the middle of the train, between carriages 4 and 5.
If I were to return to Dr. Ali's room in Car No. 6 at this time, I would inevitably overlap with this man's movement route.
Maybe he's lying in wait in the hallway ahead...
Thinking of this, Huiyuan Ai grabbed Mao Lilan's clothes tightly, not wanting to let him pass.
But Mao Lilan suddenly bent down and hugged Hui Yuan Ai into his arms.
"Eh?"
While Haiyuan Ai felt the warmth, her face could not help but be startled.
Mao Lilan smiled and said: "Are you too tired to walk? I'll take you back to your room to rest..."
Mao Lilan misunderstood what Haiyuan Ai meant, and thought that the latter grabbed her tightly because he wanted her to hold her, but she was shy in nature and was embarrassed to ask.
In Mao Lilan's arms, Haihara Ai came to the No. 7 carriage next door.
There was no one in the carriage.
However, Car No. 6 is still ahead and needs to pass through a corner car connection.
The man just now may be ambushing at the connection ahead...
Thinking of this, Haiyuan Ai clenched his hands in front of his chest, as nervous as a kitten that had been frightened and had a stress reaction.
But when Mao Lilan carried her to the connection between the carriages, there was no one there.
Car No. 6 in front was also empty.
Eh?
Huiyuan Ai was stunned and looked around in confusion.
At this time, Mao Lilan knocked on the car door of Room D, and Dr. Ali opened the door to greet him.
Dr. Ali thought it was the children who had come back from solving the puzzle, but he saw Mao Lilan holding Haibara Ai.
"Xiaolan, what's going on?"
"This child seems to be tired from running just now, so I brought her back to rest."
"Oh..." Dr. A Li stepped aside and asked, "What about the others?"
"A murder just occurred in Car No. 8, and Conan and the others are still in Car No. 8..."
Mao Lilan explained while carrying Haihara Ai into the room.
Bang.
The car door was closed and there was no more sound in the corridor.
And at the connection between Car No. 6 and Car No. 5, a figure was standing leaning against the wall. It was the burly man who just took the initiative to find Kogoro Mori.
And his true identity is actually Qin Zhibo after changing his appearance.
After confirming that Hui Yuan Ai was sent back to the room, Qin Zhibo felt relieved.
He saw that Haiyuan Ai had a stress reaction because of the atmosphere just now, so he kindly asked Mao Lilan to send her back to the room.
As a result, even I was recognized as a person with evil intentions...
Qin Zhibo shook his head helplessly, turned around and continued walking towards the dining car.
Passing through Car No. 5 is the dining car between Cars No. 4 and 5.
There were not many people in the dining car at this time. Qin Zhibo glanced around and saw Kogoro Mori sitting in the corner, tasting red wine alone.
Mouri Kogoro has an exaggerated spiral mustache under his nose, and he seems to be cosplaying Detective Poirot in Agatha Christie's novel.
Qin Zhibo walked to his side and said calmly: "Mr. Maoli, your daughter asked me to send you a message..."
"Ah? Xiaolan?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment and put down the red wine glass in his hand.
Qin Zhibo leaned into his ear and told him about the murder in the carriage.
"What?"
"Take me there quickly!"
…
In Car No. 8, the people gathered in the corridor have not left.
The conductor reported the incident to the superiors and made an announcement throughout the train, telling all passengers not to leave their rooms unless necessary.
Conan took advantage of Mouri Kogoro's arrival and quickly surveyed the scene to avoid being kicked out later.
This time Qin Zhibo is not here, but no one will provide him with shelter...
After a short autopsy, Conan determined that this was definitely a homicide.
Although the pistol was in the hand of the deceased, and the temple was located where suicides often shoot.
However, there were no burn marks on the temple, indicating that the muzzle of the gun was not fired against the skin.
This pistol has a silencer barrel and a longer barrel.
If the silenced barrel is deliberately kept away from the skin, the posture of holding the gun will be more strenuous, which is not necessary for a suicidal person.
There was also a bullet hole on the sofa seat opposite the body.
This bullet hole was obviously made deliberately so that the cuffs of the corpse would be stained with gunpowder smoke.
But how did the murderer set up this room as a secret room?
The anti-theft chain on the door is obviously hung up...
Conan was thinking with his chin raised when a head suddenly came up next to him.
"Conan, what do you think?"
Feeling the gentle breeze blowing by his ears, Conan subconsciously shrank his neck and quickly turned his head to look to the side.
"Sister Sera...what do you think?"
"It's a case. What do you think?"
"I……"
An innocent smile suddenly appeared on Conan's lips, "I'll see with my eyes~"
Upon hearing this answer, Seriang's eyelids instantly drooped and he pursed his lips, looking very dissatisfied.
Conan could only continue to giggle and thought to himself: What answer does this guy want to get 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 great detective Mori Poirot will definitely reveal the truth about the Suzuki Express murder case brilliantly!"
