Mouri Kogoro walked quietly from one side of the corridor and made the opening remarks in a tone full of justice.
When the conductor heard this, he was as excited as if he had received an amnesty and said, "Great! Then I'll leave everything to you!"
Upon hearing the compliment, Mouri Kogoro burst into laughter and showed the Venom-like expression of sticking out his tongue.
Seeing this, Conan, Sera Masaki, and Qin Zhibo, who were in disguise, gave him a half-moon eye in perfect agreement.
Sera Masumi knew Conan's true identity, so he roughly guessed that "Sleeping Mouri Kogoro" should be "sleeping" in the true sense.
A few seconds later, Kogoro Mouri returned to his normal serious expression and asked the conductor what happened.
Taking advantage of this time, Qin Zhibo stood at the door of Room B at the crime scene and glanced into the room.
Since the body cannot be moved before the police arrive, the body inside cannot be removed, and my current identity is inconvenient to enter, so I cannot investigate the body, and therefore cannot trigger the prompt for the side mission.
But it doesn't matter, since I can't reason and solve the case now anyway.
Qin Zhibo just glanced at the scene and quickly clarified his thoughts.
This was a homicide case, but the murderer's idea was to disguise the homicide as suicide.
And I had just seen the deceased in the dining car, and he was also one of the survivors of the fire five years ago.
Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that the murderer should also be one of the survivors.
Among the six survivors, besides himself and the deceased, there are four left.
It would be impossible for the old lady and the maid with limited mobility to commit the crime, so the only two murderers left.
Qin Zhibo's eyes glanced at the man with glasses and the arrogant woman standing in front without leaving any trace.
Although the murderer has been identified, the traces and evidence after the crime have been disposed of by the murderer.
The smoke reaction can be washed away, and other tools used in committing crimes can also be thrown out of the window of a speeding train.
Moreover, while he was talking to the conductor, the deceased in the next room seemed to open the door and take a look, still holding the phone in his hand.
This shows that he was still alive at that time, but died soon after.
The person who had the opportunity to commit the crime at that time was...
While Qin Zhibo was thinking, Mouri Kogoro, who had learned about the incident from the conductor, came over.
"Mr. Noto, I have something to ask you about the case..."
"What were you doing in the room when the train entered the tunnel?"
"Oh, this..." Qin Zhibo straightened his back and said with the voice changed by the collar-type voice changer: "I was resting in the room at that time, and I heard the sound of Murohashi coming from the next room, and I was scared.
It’s a jump.”
Mouri Kogoro nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Since the call bell in your room rang, why did you lie to the conductor that you didn't ring the bell?"
Qin Zhibo knew that with Mouri Kogoro's detective skills, he might use this incident as a reason to suspect that he was the murderer, so he immediately refuted it.
"I told you all! I didn't call him at all, he came to find me without permission..."
Conan, who was standing behind, watched Qin Zhibo's performance and felt that the man in front of him was not lying, so he turned to ask the conductor, "But as long as you press the call bell, the light at the door will light up, so Mr. conductor must be right."
Bar?"
"Well..." the conductor muttered, "Actually, in this carriage, only the call light in compartment A is broken and will not light up."
"So if the call rang suddenly and none of the call lights came on, I would instinctively think it was Mr. Noto's room ringing the bell, so I would run to knock on his door."
Qin Zhibo had not noticed what the conductor said before, because he had not used this service since getting on the train.
However, in such a distinguished first-class carriage, normally there should be no equipment failure, which has not been checked before departure.
"In other words, someone should have deliberately broken the call light in my room in order to attract the train conductor to me with just the sound of the bell without me ringing the bell."
"Eh?"
Mouri Kogoro was confused and didn't know what it meant.
But Conan and Sera standing behind immediately understood, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Seriang crossed his arms and said with a smile: "It seems that it was a little trick by the murderer to lure the conductor to this side of the corridor. The purpose was to prevent the conductor from noticing that he had entered the deceased's room."
"Judging from the location of the rooms in this carriage, the only people who need to do this are the passengers in rooms C, D, and E..."
"In addition, the false reasoning puzzle was set up so that the deceased could return to his original room."
"Because if it weren't for Yuanzi's arrangement this time, the deceased should have been a passenger in Room B of Car No. 8..."
Seeing that Sera said everything he thought in one breath, Conan felt very happy.
Save yourself the trouble of beating around the bush and remind Mouri Kogoro.
However, just from the fact that the call light is broken, it can be judged that it is a trick of the murderer to "leave the tiger away from the mountain". The uncle in front of him is not simple either.
Conan carefully looked at the appearance of the burly man in front of him. His appearance was very rough, and his voice occasionally revealed impatience. He did not look like a person with such a thoughtful mind.
It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance...
Only after Qin Zhibo's prompts and Sera Masumi's supplementary explanation did Mouri Kogoro roughly understand the principle.
He turned to look at the passengers in rooms C, D, and E, just as he looked at the prisoners.
This made Miss Deha in Room E very unhappy, and she immediately scolded: "Hey! What kind of look is that? I'm not a murderer!"
When Mouri Kogoro saw someone taking the initiative to challenge him, he asked directly: "Just now, after the conductor said that the matter in room A was handled, your room was called immediately?"
"yes!"
Ms. Deba hugged her shoulders and looked arrogant, "I called the conductor over because there was a strange noise in my room, so I called him over to ask how this car was inspected?
He would actually leave other people's belongings in the room..."
Seriang took the initiative and asked: "Have you found the object that made the sound?"
"Well, it's a watch stuck in the gap of the sofa. That strange sound is made by the alarm clock of the watch..."
Miss Deha's words made Sera and Conan think.
If you think about it from the perspective of "moving the tiger away from the mountain", this should also be the trick used by the murderer.
But what is the specific purpose of doing this?
And how did the murderer achieve the secret room murder?
"ah!"
Suddenly, the conductor screamed and raised a finger, "I remembered!"
"While I was talking to Miss Deha, I saw a suspicious figure peeking out from behind the door."
"What!"
Mouri Kogoro's expression immediately became serious. He stood in front of the conductor and asked, "Who is that person?"
The conductor scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I only saw a figure... but the distance between the door and the door makes it look like it's at the front end of the carriage."
"Head end?"
Mouri Kogoro glanced at the five rooms in the corridor, and finally settled on Room A.
"Is this Mr. Noto from Room A?"
Everyone's suspicious eyes turned to Noto again, that is, Qin Zhibo.
This also confused Qin Zhibo. He had just removed the suspicion, why did it turn back to him?
"Hey! I had never opened the door at that time, let alone looked outside!"
However, Mouri Kogoro seemed to have decided on the murderer at this time. He pinched his waist with confidence and said, "It is absolutely impossible for the conductor to see it wrong, and your room is right next to the deceased's room. Maybe two
There are secret passages between rooms or something like that..."
"As for you breaking the call light and using the same ringtone to attract the conductor, is it actually to transfer the suspicion to other people as you just said?"
"But as you can see, I, Maori Bollang, will not be fooled so easily!"
"Hahaha~~"
Moori Kogoro, who seemed to be sure of victory, laughed out loud.
Qin Zhibo looked at the complacent Mouri Kogoro and was speechless in his heart.
This gross profit elimination method is really powerful. The first one to exclude is myself...
However, this gross profit exclusion method is an unspoken rule that only those who have been in the field for a long time know. For these new faces, they do not understand these rules.
At this moment, several other people in the carriage had shocked expressions and looked at themselves.
Anton: "Mr. Noto, are you really..."
Izuku: "But why?"
Compared with others who believed in Mouri Kogoro so much, Conan did not believe it immediately.
Although he had no conclusive evidence to deny Mouri Kogoro's point of view, he always felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, the maid pushing the wheelchair suddenly said: "Mr. Detective, my wife and I have never opened the door, pressed the call bell, or gone out during that time."
"And our room is in Room D, which is not next to Mr. Murohashi's Room B..."
"So this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us. Can we go back to our rooms?"
Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro turned to look at the conductor and asked if it was what she said.
The conductor nodded and replied: "During that time, I really never saw the door of room D open..."
"Okay then." Mouri Kogoro nodded in agreement.
"You can go back to your room and stay there, but if you have nothing to do, don't move around for the time being..."
The maid did not respond, but slowly pushed the wheelchair and took the old lady in the wheelchair back to Room D.
Qin Zhibo took a deep look at the two people leaving, then turned to look at Conan, who was still holding his chin and concentrating on thinking. He also knew that this kid wouldn't be of use in a short time.
It seems that I can only solve the case myself and clear my name.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo's lips slightly raised a smile and he said calmly.
"There are definitely no secret passages or anything like that in my room."
"Until the formal search warrant from the police arrives, I will not be able to cooperate with your request to enter the room and search."
Upon hearing these merciless words, Mouri Kogoro was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
However, Conan next to him looked at the rugged man in front of him and felt that his temperament had suddenly changed.
It's like a different person...
Qin Zhibo smiled, not caring about the consequences of annoying Mouri Kogoro, and continued.
"But I just heard the descriptions of those children. It seems that a false reasoning puzzle occurred, which allowed Mr. Murohashi to switch to car B, right?"
"And the child also saw a prisoner who shot and ran away?"
"I guess the prisoner the children saw shooting was the murderer of Mr. Murohashi himself."
"I can ask you to take a video of the running from behind, and then show it to the children for confirmation, so that you can confirm who is the murderer..."
Qin Zhibo's proposal made Mouri Kogoro, who felt unhappy, subconsciously want to deny it.
But Seriang walked forward with a smile on his face and said: "It sounds very reasonable...then just do what you said, uncle."
"I think I just want to take a running video from behind. Passengers in other rooms should also agree, right?"
Sera turned to look at Miss Deha and Mr. Anton who were still in the corridor. The two could only nod hesitantly.
As a result, a section of the corridor soon became vacant.
Qin Zhibo's disguised Noto, Anton in Room C, and Dehao in Room E respectively started from the door of Room B and ran into the corner of the corridor.
Seriang acted as a photographer and took separate videos of the three people running with his mobile phone.
Conan stood behind Sera, watching the three of them running while holding his chin in memory.
To be honest, because I had already concluded that the murder was staged, I didn't pay much attention to the prisoner's escaping posture.
However, the running postures of these three people were slightly different from the "prisoners" in my memory at that time.
This is normal. After all, the murderer himself knows that this is to identify who the original "prisoner" was, and he will definitely change his running posture deliberately.
Seriang finished shooting three videos, then turned to Conan and asked, "Conan, which of the three of them do you think is more similar to the 'prisoner'?"
"Um..." Conan said in a long voice, then shook his head, "Sorry, I can't see..."
Seriang smiled slightly and said nothing. Instead, he stood up and said, "Then I will take the video and show it to other children."
"Oh..." Mouri Kogoro responded.
After passing through the car connection, Sera Masumi continued walking to Car No. 7.
She was walking with her cell phone in hand, her chin raised as she thought about the case.
Indeed, as Kogoro Mouri said, the uncle in Room A is very suspicious because his room is next to the room of the deceased, and his own reasoning and IQ do not seem to be ordinary people.
But I always felt like that uncle didn't look like he was capable of killing people.
Besides, a murderer would take the initiative to propose this method of identifying the murderer?
Sera thought while walking, and unknowingly forgot to pass through several carriages.
When she came to her senses, she found that she had arrived at the dining car.
not good!
It's gone too far!
Seriang quickly turned around and planned to walk back, but saw a man walking towards him.
The man has a straight figure, is dressed in black, and walks with wind.
Eh?
When he saw that face, Seriang's eyes were stunned for a moment.
