Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 112 Big Dipper

"It's nice to meet you in person. Mr. Maori, Xiaolan, and Conan, how are you doing recently?"

"The Beidouxing train tickets I promised you have already been purchased and mailed. I'm sure you're already enjoying your luxurious train ride when you read this letter, right?"

"We have too much to say. Let's talk about it after you arrive in Hokkaido. We'll be waiting for you here."

Mao Lilan folded the letter and carefully put it back into the envelope.

"This is all the content of the letter." She said to Conan and Maori Kogoro beside her, and then said with anticipation, "I really hope to meet Miss Xiajiang soon."

Conan looked around the spacious royal suite and didn't feel like he was on a moving train at all.

Of course, the tickets for the Hokutosei sightseeing train could not have been bought by them themselves, but were given to them by a rich girl named Ryūmoto Natsue, just as what Xiaolan had just read said.

"The fact that I can take this luxurious Beidousei this time is entirely thanks to me, the 'Sleeping Kogoro'." Uncle Maori was feeling smug, walking around the suite, looking here, touching there, and was obviously very satisfied.

Conan laughed in his heart.

It was obviously the efforts of the man behind the "Sleeping Kogoro" that solved the case of the Ryūmoto Foundation.
"It's getting late, let's go to the dining car." Kogoro Mouri pulled up his suit sleeves, looked at his watch, and then said with a beaming face.

The uncle is also very much looking forward to the meals on this luxurious trip.

As soon as he went out, he was bumped into by someone in the corridor.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?"

The man was wearing a beret, glasses and a mask, and looked extremely suspicious.

Conan took notice and memorized this person's characteristics.

"Oh, sorry." Kogoro Mouri touched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"You are..." The masked man seemed to recognize him, and his eyes became a little surprised and uncertain.

"Humph!"

Before Kogoro Mori could react, the man pushed him away and walked towards the back of the carriage.

"What happened?" Mao Lilan came out of the room, heard the noise just now, and asked with some confusion.

"I don't know." Kogoro Mori was also very confused.

But he was an open-minded person and quickly put this unpleasantness behind him.

"Forget it, let's go eat. I heard they serve French food here."

"Really?" Mao Lilan was surprised.

Conan followed the two of them silently.

Ever since the dream the day before yesterday, Kudo Shinichi has never appeared in his mind again. Conan suspected that his dissociative disorder had healed itself without any medicine.

But his mood didn't seem to get better. Instead, a strong sense of "abnormality" filled his heart, as if a cocoon had formed, separating him from the outside world.

He could vaguely feel that he was becoming "dull", as if his detective intuition had failed, and sometimes he even doubted whether he had lost his detective talent that he was so proud of.

After that day, he never dreamed of that strange space again, nor did he see the mysterious "Mr. A" again.

So much so that Conan wanted to confront him and ask him if he had done anything wrong, but there was nothing he could do.

He even thought about trying to pronounce the strange language, but when he recalled the strange scene after he accidentally uttered a few syllables, he gave up this option. If Kudo Shinichi had not disappeared, he could still have a confrontation with him in his mind to distract himself. Now that his mind was silent, he had to face the terrible fact that his thinking had become dull.

This is an unspeakable torment.

"Conan!"

Before he knew it, Conan had fallen far behind the other two. It was only when Mouri Ran turned around and noticed this that he was awakened from his thoughts.

"Really? Why do I keep getting distracted lately?" Mao Lilan complained a little, "It would be bad if I got lost."

Then she held his hand.

As it was getting close to dinner time, there were quite a few people in the dining car. Maori and his group found an empty table and sat down, then began to order food from the menus.

Meals are also included in the ticket price, so they don't have to pay extra.

The exquisitely presented dishes were quickly served on the table.

"It's so cool!" Maori Kogoro laughed, sticking out his tongue. "The room is luxurious, the food is delicious, and most importantly, I don't have to spend any money. It's simply heaven!"

“I wish there were more opportunities like this!”

The chef team on board must be extraordinary, and the food tasted very good. Conan couldn't help but temporarily forget his recent depression and started to eat with relish.

"What are you doing?" A high-pitched roar suddenly came from behind, interrupting the three people's meal.

"How can we live in that crappy room with poor shock absorption and sound insulation!" A long-faced middle-aged man who looked like a successful man slammed the table, stood up, and yelled at the thin man with glasses in front of him.

"Humph, living in the same room with a guy like you is simply an insult to me!"

Conan pricked up his ears carefully and listened for a while before he knew their identities from their scattered conversations.

The man who was cursing was called Keitaro Izumo, and he owned a fairly large jewelry store.

The man who was scolded was the manager of the jewelry store, named Jia Yue Li Ze.

"He said, 'I don't want anyone to know that I'm traveling and staying in a room like this.' My wife has already hidden in the room and dared not come out!"

Izumo Keitaro also realized that the noise he made earlier was too loud and attracted attention, so he calmed down a little, but there was still impatience in his eyes.

"That's why I suggested you take a plane." Jiayueli defended himself humbly.

"Shut up!" Izumo Keitaro shouted mercilessly, leaving him no room for decency, "I'm taking this bus to attend the gem auction tomorrow!"

Kogoro Mouri looked up at the scene, stuffing food into his mouth with relish, and then suddenly made a "hmm" sound.

Just then he met Izumo Keitaro's gaze and asked, "Excuse me, have we met somewhere before?"

He always felt that this man looked familiar.

"Probably on TV or in the media." It was the scolded Jia Yueli who answered him. "Our jewelry store had a robbery last week, so the boss gave a lot of interviews."

"Oh!" Hearing him say that, Maori Kogoro remembered, "Isn't it the case of the so-called independent expulsion of the robbers?"

"Humph." Izumo Keitaro's expression eased a little, but he was still a little angry, so his tone was a little stiff, "It's no big deal."

"Those useless shop assistants were so scared when they saw the gun that they couldn't be relied upon, so I stepped in to drive the criminal away. I just pressed the alarm and he fled."
