Conan Rick's Investigator

"I now suspect that the murderer of the Soul Detective is most likely Scotch whisky."

Hearing this, Toru Amuro's pupils suddenly dilated and his scalp felt numb.

Qin Zhibo paused for two seconds before continuing, "At the moment, I only suspect it was him. An elderly cleaner at the scene once saw the murderer, but can't remember his appearance."

"If there were any old photos of Morufushi Kagemitsu, perhaps they could help her recall."

At this time, Amuro Toru came back to his senses.

"I understand what you mean. I will have Kazami do this right away."

Yu Kazami is also a direct subordinate of Morobushi Kagemitsu. He was injured and stayed in the hospital for a while, but now he has officially returned to his post.

Just hearing that his childhood playmate might have killed someone again, Toru Amuro felt even more depressed.

If it is inevitable to take the lives of some targets during the undercover operation, it is allowed within the rules of public security.

But if not...

"It's getting late. I'm going back now."

Qin Zhibo stood up and was about to leave when Amuro Toru called him.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you too."

"It's about Shirley."

Shirley?

Qin Zhibo knew that he was actually talking about Haibara Ai, but because she was undercover in the organization, he was more accustomed to calling her by her code name.

Toru Amuro took the laptop and showed the contents to Qin Zhibo.

"A few days ago, Vermouth contacted me and asked me to investigate the whereabouts of everyone in the Mori Office, including Professor Agasa and the group of children called the "Junior Detective Team."

"At first, I didn't know Vermouth's intentions, so I could only take things one step at a time. I told her first that they were going to take the mysterious train on their day off this week."

"I just spoke to her on the phone and learned that she was trying to 'hunt' Shirley on this mysterious train."

What is displayed on the computer screen is the official event page of the Mysterious Train.

The main body of the webpage is dark red, with a photo of a vintage steam locomotive above it.

"I wonder if Vermouth has already known Shirley's true identity?"

Qin Zhibo looked at the introduction page of the mysterious train and of course knew why Conan and others participated in this event.

Because of the sinking of the "Aphrodite" last time, the host, Yuanzi, chose this event again to compensate several people.

I didn't expect this would be targeted...

"I think Vermouth knows Haibara Ai's true identity."

"But did she tell me how she planned to do it?"

In response to Qin Zhibo's question, Amuro Toru shook his head. "She hasn't told me the specific plan yet, but I also want to be involved, so she will tell me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo began to think silently.

Hunting on a moving train is Vermouth's style.

But on the other hand, this is also a good opportunity to arrest Vermouth...

No.

Qin Zhibo thought about it for a moment and felt that something was still wrong.

After all, this plan requires Bourbon's participation. Once something unexpected happens to Vermouth, Bourbon will be the first person to be suspected by the organization.

Although Vermouth knows the boss's secrets, she is also very loyal to the boss and it is difficult to get information from her easily.

It is not a good deal to sacrifice Bourbon, the most important undercover agent in the organization, for a piece of information that is uncertain whether it can be obtained.

"I thought Vermouth had given up on hunting down Haibara, but it seems she hasn't..."

"The only way to deal with it now is to carry out her plan while preventing her from succeeding."

Qin Zhibo groaned, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Vermouth's plan will be conveyed to you, and we will then develop a countermeasure against her plan."

"When does the Mystery Train depart?"

Upon hearing this question, Toru Amuro was obviously stunned.

What kind of kindergarten problem is this?

"It's the morning of the day after tomorrow..."

"I see. I understand."

With the help of Toru Amuro, Qin Zhibo confirmed the departure time of the train.

"Then let me know once Vermouth has given you the exact plan."

"Also, Soul Detective

I'll leave it to you to investigate that side..."

……

The next day, the hotel was sold.

A cleaning lady was pushing a cleaning cart in the corridor, cleaning each room one by one, when a tall, thin man wearing glasses walked up to her.

"Hello, my name is Yuya Kazami, and I'm a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department."

Yuya Kazami showed his ID, then put it back into his arms and took out a stack of photos.

"Regarding yesterday's murder of Kaito Hotta, I have a few photos I'd like you to identify."

"Please tell me who the suspicious man you saw yesterday is most likely to be..."

Yuya Kazami placed the photos one by one on the cleaning cart next to him.

There are a total of 7 half-length photos of men, and each of them meets at least one of the following criteria: medium-length black hair, delicate looks, and black clothes.

The cleaning lady squinted her eyes and looked back and forth among the photos. Suddenly, her gaze fixed on one of the photos, and her eyes lit up slightly.

"It looks like this person..." The cleaning lady pointed at the man in the photo.

"Are you sure he's the most similar to the suspicious man among them?"

The cleaning lady nodded affirmatively.

"Thank you for assisting us in our investigation..."

Yuya Kazami put away all the photos quickly and said.

"I'm from the Metropolitan Police Department's secret service. This matter concerns our important mission, so I ask that you please refrain from disclosing your identification of the photo to the ordinary police officers from yesterday."

"Otherwise, if it affects our mission, we have the right to pursue legal action against you."

Upon hearing this, the cleaning lady immediately nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Yuya Kazami nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left through the exit of the corridor.

As soon as he got back to the car, he immediately called Toru Amuro.

"We've already investigated it, Mr. Furuya."

"The cleaning lady identified the photo as Mr. Morobushi's, and she was very sure of it."

Hearing this, Toru Amuro on the other end of the phone felt depressed. After hesitating for a few seconds, his eyelids drooped slightly.

"I see……"

"Thank you, Kazami."

After hanging up the phone, Toru Amuro, who was serving dishes in the restaurant, stood there with a melancholy look in his eyes.

Jingguang, where are you now?

……

On the rooftop of a skyscraper.

A figure in a black windbreaker stood on the edge of the rooftop, leaning on the railing with both hands and staring into the distance.

The stubble made his originally handsome face look a little haggard, and his slightly confused eyes were no longer as sharp as they used to be.

Suddenly, the phone in my arms vibrated and buzzed.

He pulled out his phone and opened the text message.

[Get rid of that woman, cleanly and quickly! Scotch whisky]

When the man put away his phone, his confused eyes were once again filled with murderous intent.

Chapter 1391 The Dark Mysterious Train (Departure)

Tokyo Metropolitan Central Station, platform.

"Wow! That's awesome!"

"This is the first time I've seen a steam locomotive!"

"That's really bold..."

The three kids looked at the black old steam locomotive in front of them and couldn't help but express their admiration.

Even Conan put his hands in his pockets and looked at the "huge iron block" in front of him with great interest.

After all, for most men, locomotives have a special charm... Of course, not the kind in human form.

Only Haibara Ai, who was standing at the back, closed her eyes slightly and explained, "Only the appearance is SL type..."

"It is said that this train is actually equipped with the latest diesel engine."

When the three little ones heard what Haibara Ai said, their eyes, which were originally full of interest, lost some of their luster.

Genta: "What? I thought I could experience riding a steam locomotive..."

Ayumi: "Wouldn't it be the same as taking a normal train?"

Looking at the three little ones who had lost interest, Conan glanced at Huiyuan Ai helplessly and whispered in her ear, "Hey, can't you be so straightforward when you speak?"

Ai Haibara's eyelids drooped, but she spoke in a serious tone, "If you don't hold out too high expectations, you won't be too disappointed when you actually get on it, right?"

Ugh……

Conan sighed helplessly in his heart. This girl always had her own reasons and he really couldn't argue with her.

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing behind them, was also a little embarrassed and said, "Hey guys, even though the engine isn't steam-powered, the ride inside is definitely the best sightseeing train in Japan~"

"This is all thanks to the Suzuki Group, the owner of the Suzuki train. I've specially prepared a good seat for you!"

"But our position is completely different from yours. We will ride in the luxurious and shining first-class carriage!"

"Okay!" the three little ones agreed in unison.

Yuanzi narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking in his heart: Haha, little devils are easy to fool...

The "we" that Sonoko mentioned refers to her, Xiaolan, and Maori Kogoro.

Since there are so many people riding the mysterious train this time, two carriages are needed to accommodate them.

Especially the first-class carriage, which was very difficult even for Suzuki's second daughter.

After all, the passengers in other first-class carriages are either rich or noble, and we cannot easily cancel their reserved seats and damage the reputation of the Suzuki Group.

After much persuasion from Suzuki Sonoko, Suzuki Jirokichi, who had originally planned to take the train, decided to wait for the train to arrive at Nagoya Station and gave the first-class carriage seat to Sonoko.

As for why Sonoko was obsessed with the first-class carriage this time, it was not to show off her identity and status.

But...

"Uncle Jirokichi deliberately displayed the precious ruby in the first-class carriage of the train this time to attract Mr. Kidd to show up!"

"So this time, I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity and secretly hide a letter of my endless love for Kidd-sama inside the train!"

"Xiaolan, what do you think of my courtship plan?!"

When mentioning Kaito Kid, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes turned into heart shapes and the girl covered her hands with her hands in love.

In contrast, Mao Lilan smiled with small eyes and looked at her best friend speechlessly.
