A man dressed in pitch black walked toward him and passed by Sera Masumi, his expression indifferent throughout the whole process.
But Seriang's eyes widened and he stood there stunned.
This man seems to be...
Time goes back to four years ago, when Masumi Sera was still in junior high school and met her eldest brother, Shuichi Akai, by chance on the street.
Because Brother Xiu was probably still in the United States at that time, Serang was very curious about why his elder brother appeared in Japan, so he followed him behind.
As a result, when we tracked him to the station platform, he was discovered as expected.
After Brother Xiu scolded him, he went to the ticket office to help him buy a return ticket.
Just when Sera stayed in place and couldn't move around, the man with Brother Xiu took out the guitar in his backpack and taught Sera how to play.
Of course, this process only lasted 10 minutes, and Sera only learned to play some of the most basic scales.
But Seriang also remembered the gentle elder brother who was walking with Brother Xiu at that time.
At that time, I remember that there was a dark-skinned blond man who also came to look for Brother Xiu and Brother Guitar...
Although they haven't seen each other for many years, and his appearance has changed a lot since then, the man who passed by him is definitely his guitar brother back then.
I didn't expect to meet you here...
Is Brother Xiu also on this train?
Thinking of this, Seriang suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where the man left.
But there was no man in the dining car behind him.
Seriang frowned and pushed forward slightly with one side of his body, trying to catch up.
But she suddenly remembered the look in the man's eyes just now, which was completely indifferent and ignored her.
Maybe you have completely forgotten me long ago...
Sera smiled, shook his head, put aside his childish thoughts, and turned towards his original destination.
…
Car No. 6, Room D.
In the room at this time, there were Dr. Agasa and all the members of the Young Detective Team except Conan, as well as Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.
"Xiao Ai, your forehead seems a little hot?"
Mao Lilan squatted in front of Haiyuan Ai, lifted the broken hair from her forehead, and put her forehead against Haiyuan Ai's forehead.
Upon hearing this, Ayumi frowned and asked, "Xiao Ai, do you have a cold?"
Mitsuhiko also showed a worried expression, "Haihara-san, why don't you lie down and take a rest?"
At this time, Hui Yuan Ai was sitting on the seat, his eyes staring blankly, and his two small hands nervously holding together.
In her mind, all she could think of was the scene in the carriage just now.
Among those people, there are definitely members of the organization.
what to do?
If the organization wanted to catch me, they would have already sneaked into the train...
"I remember there is cold medicine in my backpack. Wait for me to take it out..."
Dr. Ali went back to look for Haihara Ai's small schoolbag and pulled out a plastic pill box.
Open the medicine box, and there are six compartments inside, which treat common diseases in life, such as colds, stomach bloating, vertigo, etc.
However, in one of the compartments, there is a medicine that can only be used by those who have become smaller.
Yuanzi looked at the dozens of pills in the medicine box and sighed, "Why does this child always pack so many pills?"
Mao Lilan smiled and said, "It must have been pretended by Dr. Chengshi..."
Just when everyone else's attention was focused on the medicine, Haiyuan Ai's cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated.
Hui Yuan Ai's body trembled, he took out his phone and checked it.
This is a text message from an unknown number, the content is...
【Are you ready to wake up?——Vermouth】
The moment she saw this text message, Haiyuan Ai's pupils immediately widened, and she was so nervous that she almost dropped her phone on the ground.
Vermouth is the codename of the woman in the organization.
Belmode!
Sure enough, it was her, she was on this train!
And it’s for me!
"Xiao Ai? You look so scary, what's wrong?"
"You take medicine..."
Mao Lilan brought a cold medicine to Haiyuan Ai and a glass of warm water.
Haiyuan Ai sat on the chair and did not respond, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at the medicine in the medicine box.
If he was killed here, the other people in the carriage would definitely be silenced as well.
Also, if the identity of this body is completely exposed, everyone who had a relationship with him in the past will definitely be silenced one by one.
No, you must not implicate other people...
Hui Yuan Ai made up his mind to leave this place and face his own destiny.
Originally, I was the one who deserved to die. If that magical drug hadn't accidentally shrunk my body, how would I have had the chance to enjoy this period of life?
Therefore, I should be satisfied.
Bye now……
Haihara Ai did not take the cold medicine from Mao Lilan, but went directly to get the medicine box placed on the table.
"I have to go to the toilet."
"Eh?" Mao Lilan was stunned, "Are you going to the toilet to take medicine?"
Haihara Ai did not answer, but jumped off the seat and walked straight towards the door.
But just as she walked to the door, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Benefit, Benefit...
The short knock on the door is like the god of death ringing the bell, playing the final song of life.
Hui Yuan Ai was frightened and took half a step back, staring at the door in disbelief.
Why did it come so fast!
I haven’t had time to stay away from everyone yet!
"Eh? Someone's coming..."
Mao Lilan stood up and was about to open the door, but before her hand could touch the door handle, Haiyuan Ai stopped her with a sharp shout.
"Don't open the door!"
"Ah?" Mao Lilan looked down at Haiyuan Ai in confusion, "Xiao Ai, what's wrong?"
"Anyway, don't open the door!" Hui Yuan Ai repeated sharply.
"But……"
Mao Lilan and others in the room were even more confused, especially Dr. A Li.
"Xiao Ai, what's wrong with you?"
"There are enemies on the other side of the door..." Haiyuan Ai murmured at the corner of his mouth.
"What?"
Hui Yuan Ai's voice was as thin as the sound of a mosquito, and others did not hear it clearly.
At this time, Haiyuan Ai's brain was thinking about how to save the lives of other people in the room.
Now Belmode and other members of the organization must be waiting at the door with guns drawn.
As long as the door is opened, everyone will die!
But if you don't open the door, the other party will force his way in sooner or later, and the result will be the same.
It's over, dead end...
Unless you plead with Belmode before the other party shoots, and ask the other party to let the others go.
Thinking of this, Haiyuan Ai cleared his throat, hoping to remove the timidity in his voice as much as possible and increase his negotiating leverage with the other party.
There were other passengers and the detective in the car, and they probably didn't want to make too much noise.
Just when Haihara Ai had already formulated the negotiation policy in his heart, an urgent voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Hey, Xiaolan!"
"I am Sera Majun, are you in there?"
Before Haiyuan Ai could stop him, Mao Lilan opened his mouth and replied, "We are inside..."
"Then open the door. I'm at the door now. I have important things to discuss with you."
"Yes, I'll open the door right now..."
Mao Lilan responded and reached out to open the door.
Hui Yuan Ai wanted to stop it, but it was too late. The door handle had been pressed down enough that it could be pulled open from the outside.
Too bad!
Belmode can change her voice, so this must be the voice she conjured!
The gap in the door became wider and wider, and Hui Yuan Ai's pupils dilated in horror.
But when the door was fully opened, Sera Masumi stood alone at the door.
"Really, why did it take so long to open the door?"
"yes……"
Mao Lilan glanced at Haiyuan Ai at a lower position and did not choose to tell the reason.
Sera Masumi walked into the room, took out her mobile phone, and explained the purpose of her visit.
Hearing that they could help solve the case, the three little ones sat in a row and watched the recorded running video with Seriang's mobile phone.
While waiting, Seriang turned around and asked Mao Lilan why he didn't open the door just now.
Mao Lilan explained: "It's Xiao Ai who has a cold. We were feeding her medicine just now..."
"Do you have a cold?"
Sera was startled and looked down at Haihara Ai, who was also staring at him. He naturally reached out to touch his cousin's forehead.
But Hui Yuan Ai subconsciously took half a step back and looked at her with vigilant eyes.
This small movement was very harmful, and Seriang could only smile awkwardly and take back his hand.
At this time, Dr. Ali asked about the investigation progress of the case.
Masumi Sera replied: "Conan and Uncle Mouri are still investigating, but we can basically identify the culprit as a passenger in Car No. 8."
"oh."
Dr. Ali nodded clearly. As long as the scope of the murderer is determined, according to the past rhythm, it is only a matter of time to find the murderer.
Haiyuan Ai, who was lower down, heard about the progress of the investigation and became aware of the current situation.
Judging from the palpitating feeling just now, Belmode must be someone in the No. 8 carriage.
The case is still under investigation and she can't get away for the time being, so she can only send herself a warning via text message.
In other words, as long as you take the initiative to leave everyone before the investigation of the case is completed.
Hui Yuan Ai looked around at everyone in the room, but her mood of saying goodbye was extremely heavy.
Never before have I looked forward to Conan taking a longer time to solve the case...
longer...
…
In Car No. 8, Kogoro Mouri and Conan are waiting for Masumi Sera to bring back the identification of the three little ones.
Although the three little ones only saw their backs and cannot be used as decisive evidence, they can also provide reference for the investigation of the case.
At this time, news also came from the conductor.
Originally, a murder had occurred, and the train should have stopped at the nearest station for the police to investigate.
However, due to Suzuki Jirokichi's operation, the train stopped at Nagoya Station instead. He wanted to see for himself what the murderer who defiled the Suzuki train looked like.
Conan drooped his eyelids and complained helplessly: How much power does that uncle have?
"Since we still have a lot of time, why don't we recreate the scene of the train passing through the tunnel?"
"Maybe we can find something..."
Mouri Kogoro turned to look at Noto who was speaking. Although he was reluctant to accept a suspect's proposal, he still said: "That's okay."
So, everyone went back to their rooms and rehearsed the incident from the beginning.
First, the call bell sounded in the corridor. The conductor subconsciously judged that it was the call bell pressed by Mr. Noto in Room A...
Conan held his chin up, looking at Noto who was talking to the conductor at the door, and sorting out his thoughts in his mind.
"About this time, the door of Room B opened, and Mr. Murohashi poked his head out with a phone in his hand..."
"The train was in the tunnel at that time, and the corridor was relatively dark, but I must have read it correctly."
Qin Zhibo, who was demonstrating the process, seemed to be adding details of the process, but in fact he was reminding Conan.
Hearing these words, Conan suddenly had an idea in his mind and realized something.
yes!
The train was in the tunnel and the deceased was on the phone, so the signal would definitely be bad.
At this time, the deceased may have opened the door to meet directly with the person he was talking to.
And the person who was on the phone with the deceased at that time was the murderer!
Conan quickly ran to the door of Room B, opened the door to 90°, and then looked at it from the side.
really……
The width of this door can almost cover the corridor. As long as the prisoner enters Room B when the deceased opens the door, the conductor and Mr. Noto on the other side will not be able to see it.
In this way, the only possibility is that the murderer is someone from rooms C, D, and E.
But who is it?
And why did the suspicious figure last seen by the conductor appear at the head of the carriage?
Qin Zhibo here saw Conan's expression suddenly relaxed for a moment, and knew that this boy understood his prompt.
The next step is to figure out how the murderer left Room B without anyone noticing.
At this time, Ms. Deha in Room E pressed the call bell, and the conductor rushed over to deal with it.
The two parties struggled for half a minute about the strange noise. At this time, Anton from Room C came out of the room to check.
"At this time, Sister Xiaolan and I happened to pass by the corner of the corridor!"
Conan also told the trajectory of his actions and added the last link.
However, after watching the whole process, Mouri Kogoro still didn't understand what was going on.
Qin Zhibo, who was standing at the door, heard Conan's voice and smiled knowingly.
He already knows who the murderer is.
Originally, the murderer could only be one of Debo or Anton.
Since Idebo was talking to the conductor in Room E at the time, the murderer was obviously Anton.
He used some kind of trick to get out of Room B without being discovered, and he also created a false figure to frame himself.
I had never poked my head out of Room A at that time, but the conductor saw a suspicious figure at this distance.
Plus, the corridor was very dark at that time, so it might be a good opportunity to use ‘that’...
"Okay, everyone, come out."
At this time, Mouri Kogoro called everyone out in the corridor.
All suspects reunited.
But before Mouri Kogoro could say anything to summarize what had just happened, Qin Zhibo took the lead and spoke.
"The answer is obvious."
"The murderer took advantage of Mr. Murohashi's door opening and entered the room from the other side of the corridor, so the murderer can only be the people in rooms C, D, and E."
"However, Miss Deha in Room E quickly pressed the call bell and talked to the conductor at the door of Room E, so the murderer cannot be Miss Deha."
"And Ms. Xiao Li and her maid in Room D have never left the room from beginning to end. The possibility of the two of them committing a crime together is relatively small..."
