Seeing Ran Mouri and Conan running away one after another, Kogoro Mouri, who hurriedly took over the fallen luggage, twitched his mouth, knowing that he was determined to write a statement this time, which would take a lot of time - it didn't matter, there was no commission anyway.

However, soon, a scream was heard.

Kogoro Mouri's body shook, he put the suitcase aside and ran over there quickly.

Wow————

The sleeping detective opened the door of the last carriage and the last thing he saw was a corpse.

A body dressed in black, lying on the ground, shot to death!

Inspector Megure, who was following behind, frowned and looked at Kudo Yusaku next to him, while Kudo Yusaku sighed.

"It seems that the bait is indeed deadly."

Chapter 219 I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it (1/5)

The alarm on my cell phone rang before the Hokutosei No. 3 train arrived at its final destination.

Mae Otsuari opened his eyes, stood up immediately, took the black coat next to him and put it on, then took out the second pistol that he assembled in the room at four in the morning - this pistol was actually not his own.

It was the pistol of his girlfriend, the last member of the group that had participated in the bank robbery ten years ago.

Yes, he and his girlfriend, Yasuji Asama, were wanted by the Hokkaido police as part of a gang of repeat robbers who had committed armed robberies in banks and jewelry stores many times. That was why he had calluses on his palms from shooting training.

However, I'm afraid no one will ever know his true identity——

Because, Izumo Keitaro and Asama Yasuji are both dead. Now all he needs to do is kill the black-clad detective who threatened him last night and the black-clad man who bullied him because he didn't have a gun and looked arrogant, and everything will be solved!

Wow————

Mae Yueli quietly pushed the door open, then closed it, walked down the stairs step by step, and came to the first floor.

Because it was still night, the lights in the aisle of the carriage were not on, which also made his movements convenient. After all, he had already walked through it in the dark in the early morning, and now it was just another walk.

Tick, tick, tick.

He walked step by step towards his destination - the room of the young detective in black.

Originally, Maekoshi Rishinori admired Kudo Yusaku and his novel manuscripts very much. Faced with this detective who was exactly the same as the description in the novel, he should kill the detective in the same way as in the novel.

But because of the man in black who appeared last night and was as dangerous as a ghost, he chose to solve the hidden danger in his own way. After all, the manuscript of the novel was carried by the editor, and no one could say whether there would be other copies.

What if the detective got a copy and knew the contents of the novel manuscript, and did this on purpose to lure him into a trap?

Mae Otsu Rinori's gaze fell on the door lock of the room in front of him. Such a door lock would be difficult for others, but not for him.

As a former bank robber, lock picking is one of his specialties. This kind of door lock that can protect against gentlemen but not villains cannot stop him at all. He is one of those who can easily pick the door.

He was about to use wire to open the lock when he suddenly saw a figure standing at the aisle door of another carriage.

Only half of the face was reflected in the moonlight coming through the window, and it looked particularly creepy on the oval glass above the aisle door. Mae Yuri just took a glance and almost dropped the wire he was holding.

————Why is this thing as scary as a ghost?

The figure disappeared in the aisle of another carriage. Mae Otsu Risuke put the wire into his pocket without saying a word, then pulled out the gun from his arms, pushed the door open, and chased after the figure.

Even though it looked creepy and it was just a fleeting glimpse, he could still be sure of it.

That figure was the young detective who had just left the local police headquarters early this morning and threatened him to surrender himself. If he didn't, he would tell the police the whole truth and he would not even have the chance to have his sentence reduced!

Mae Otsuki trotted along following the shadow of the figure.

But he didn't notice that, although he was already jogging forward, the figure was still walking forward as if taking a leisurely stroll, but his speed was much faster than his——

crunch————

The door of the last carriage of the Beidouxing No. 3 train, which was also the last public carriage, was pushed open.

The figure in black just stood there, watching the things passing quickly outside the train, with his back to him, as if he didn't care about Mae Oshino and the gun in Mae Oshino's hand, and didn't seem to be afraid at all.

"I didn't expect you to know I was going to kill you and hide in advance!"

Mae Yueli raised his pistol, pulled the safety, and pointed it at the back of the black-clad man's head. He said with some pride.

"However, I have cornered you now. Before I kill you, I want to ask you a question—have you read the manuscript of the novel written by Kudo Yusaku?"

The man in black spoke calmly without even turning his head.

"Of course not. I just heard it from Kudo Yusaku."

He turned his head and looked at Mae Etsu Rishinori, and this bold move made Mae Etsu Rishinori's heart skip a beat. His finger was on the trigger, ready to shoot the man in black in front of him at any time, but the other party seemed to be really fearless, even in this situation!

"How could you possibly know Kudo Yusaku? Who is he? Who are you? Are you worthy?"

"If it were Kudo Yusaku, I would never have pushed you into this situation! However, in my opinion, you're pretty good among those detectives. But your career as a detective ends here!"

Mae Otsu Risuke said loudly.

This is a public carriage. There is the noise of the train running and the sound insulation between different carriages. Unless there is a gunshot, people in other carriages will not hear just talking.

"I hate having a gun pointed at my head, but that's what everyone who wants to kill me does."

"Maekoshi Rinori, it seems you've made up your mind to kill. Well then, let's play a game. It's simple, but also dangerous—let's bet on whether you have bullets in your pistol."

The man in black spoke calmly.

Facing the muzzle of Mae Yuelinori's gun, he did not retreat or avoid, but walked towards Mae Yuelinori step by step.

You know, every step he took forward, the probability of being shot by a pistol increased. Such a reckless behavior made Maekoshi Toshinori's eyelids twitch, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what the man in black was planning.

"I'll bet on this five-yen coin."

The man in black opened his palm, and the five-yen coin that was only used when praying to gods in the shrine appeared in Maekoshi Rinori's sight. Although he didn't know what kind of mysterious trick this was, Maekoshi Rinori's pistol with a silencer.

At this moment, the trigger had been pulled and several shots were fired at the man in black's head!

call out----

pat.

The five-yen coin bounced off the black-clad man's fingertips and flew into the air.

The next moment, the coin fell into a pool of blood.

Mae Otsuki lay on the ground, his face full of disbelief.

There was a bullet hole on his forehead, and brain matter mixed with blood was flowing out. The five-yen coin he won fell near his head, soaked in blood and somewhat inconspicuous.

"Maekoshi Rinori, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

Yan Shuangying let go of his hand, and the pistol with a silencer still in his hand fell to the ground, as if it were a piece of insignificant trash.

He sighed and said.

"In this world, good people don't die, and bad people don't die either. The only people who die are those of one kind."

The figure of the man in black disappeared in the last train car, leaving behind only the sound of four words.

"Foolish man."

Chapter 220 The Return of the Urban Legend (2/5)

Maekoshi Rinori is dead. The real murderer of the Hokutosei No. 3 murder case died inexplicably in the last carriage.

This situation was beyond Conan's expectations. Although Kudo Yusaku had mentioned to him before that some baits could be deadly, Conan did not expect that the young detective used as bait this time would be so deadly.

That is not an exaggerated metaphor, but a real description!

"The person who tried to kill someone was killed by the person he wanted to kill?"

Conan whispered, and behind him, Kogoro Mouri pulled open the door of the public carriage, and behind him, a large group of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department led by Inspector Megure also rushed to the scene.

"Move aside, Maori brother, let me go in and take a look at the situation first."

Inspector Megure originally wanted to squeeze past Mouri Kogoro, but his body size did not allow him to do so, so he could only awkwardly pat Mouri Kogoro's shoulder and ask him to move aside.

Kogoro Mouri was relieved to confirm that Ran Mouri was fine, and that she was just screaming after seeing the corpse as usual.

————It’s better to make a fuss than to have a real problem.

As soon as he made way, Inspector Megure and Kudo Yusaku entered the last carriage one after another. Takagi Wataru, who was doing case records on a daily basis, followed closely behind them. However, Takagi Wataru seemed to have a bad look on his face, and no one knew why.

"A pistol with a silencer? That's not something you can easily get..."

Inspector Megure frowned and looked at the murder weapon on the ground that killed Maekoshi Rinori——

Even in Beika Town, it is not easy to get one. Generally speaking, only one out of ten cases involves the use of a silenced pistol. After all, most Beika Town criminals prefer to use bombs, which are simple and crude.

"Mr. Yusaku, is this deceased the young detective you were talking about?"

He looked down at the dead man's face.

Although it was covered in blood, he didn't look very young, and it didn't match the appearance that Kudo Yusaku told him. He looked more like a man around 35 to 40 years old, a middle-aged type?

"No, the deceased is the real culprit of the previous Beidouxing No. 3 incident, Maekoshi Toshinori."

Kudo Yusaku pushed up his glasses and spoke in a calm voice.

However, Kudo Yusaku's voice was calm, but Inspector Megure and Takagi Wataru's voices were not calm. The two police officers who came from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department widened their eyes and exclaimed in unison.

"What did you say? The murderer actually became the third victim of Beidouxing No. 3? Who killed the murderer?"

Although the two cried out in shock, they immediately guessed who had done it.

There were only two passengers who were not in their rooms. One was the murderer Maekoshi Toshinori, and the other was the young detective who pointed out that there was a real murderer in the case. Now Maekoshi Toshinori is dead here, and the young detective is nowhere to be found.

If the young detective's body had not been found, the only possibility would be that the young detective killed Mae Oshirō.

"Hiss——this young man is incredible."

Inspector Megure twitched his lips, feeling a little helpless. He had no impression of any famous detective who would kill people.

Although this situation is most likely a case of self-defense and he probably won't even be convicted of excessive self-defense, it will still give him a headache, because once the detective in the case fires a gun, he will have to add several more stacks of reports.

"Anyway, let's have the crew notify the detective who committed the counterattack to come out. This case should be closed."

"I believe that once the detective knows he won't be convicted of the murder, he'll be willing to go back with me and take a statement, right? The train can't be blocked forever. Two minutes have passed, and it's almost time."

Before the fat inspector could finish his words, he heard a strange sound.

"I don't think that detective will appear inside this train again."

This is the voice of Kudo Yusaku.
