Conan Rick's Investigator

“What’s going on…”

"I don't think Kidd has the time to steal your letters, right?"

"And if you do that, Kyogoku-san will really get mad..."

Facing her best friend's warning, Sonoko didn't care at all. She turned around and defended herself, "My love for Kidd-sama is different!"

But at this moment, Conan, who was standing low, said faintly, "But I don't think Kidd will show up this time."

"Huh?" Sonoko pinched her waist and asked Conan angrily, "What did you say, kid?"

Conan was not afraid at all and said calmly: "Because Kidd always appears on moonlit nights, and this train is in daytime the entire journey, so Kidd will most likely not show up."

"Huh?" Sonoko was stunned, tapping her chin with her fingertips, "Is that so?"

"After hearing what you said, it seems to be true..."

Conan put his hands in his pockets, looking very confident in his reasoning.

In fact, he could guess that Kidd would not target the gem. This was not only because of the pattern in Kidd's crimes, but also because of his understanding of his cousin.

Kuroba Kaito had already accomplished his goal of finding his father, so there was naturally no need for him to risk being caught by stealing the gems.

Kaito Kidd will completely become a thing of the past...

"For me, I'm more interested in the mystery game that happens every time on the train, compared to that thief~"

At this time, a neutral voice came from behind Mao Lilan and others.

When Mao Lilan and others turned around, they found that it was Sera Masumi.

"Majun! Why are you here?"

Sera Masumi narrowed her eyes and smiled, explaining, "I heard you talk about the mysterious train on the phone, Ran, and it seemed interesting, so I came here..."

"By the way, are these the only ones you have?"

Mao Lilan shook her head. "No, there's also my father... but he was here just now, and I don't know where he went now."

"Oh……"

Sera nodded in understanding and glanced at the people gathered here with Mao Lilan. Although most of them were strangers, there were some familiar faces among them.

For example, Conan.

Ever since she learned the truth from Qin Zhibo, she also knew that Conan was a smaller version of Kudo Shinichi.

"Hello, Conan~"

Conan was surprised that Sera specifically greeted him, "Hello..."

At this time, Sonoko also asked Mao Lilan in confusion, "Who is this person?"

Before Mao Lilan could speak, Sera took the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Sera Masumi, I'm 17 years old, and I'm a detective."

"I met Ran, Conan, Uncle Mori, and Professor Agasa in London before, and we spent some time together..."

"I just returned to Japan a few days ago, so please be kind and keep me company from now on~"

As he spoke, Sera took the initiative to extend his hand to Sonoko.

Sonoko looked at Sera Masumi in front of her. Although she was wearing a tough style of brown jacket and jeans, her appearance was exceptionally pretty, especially when she smiled, which had a hint of sweetness.

This one feels pretty good too...

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were slightly stunned, and she stretched out her right hand blankly and held Sera Masumi's hand.

"My name is Suzuki Sonoko... Please give me your guidance..."

Conan, who was standing low, saw that Sonoko was infatuated with him again, and reminded her subtly, "Sister Sera! Are you here alone?"

"Yeah, I'm alone..."

Before Shiliang finished speaking, the three children in the garden nearby, including the three children in the lower position, shouted in surprise, "Sister!"

"That's right." Conan turned his head and explained, "Sera-sister is a girl, so of course I have to call her sister..."

Everyone: Uh...

Sera scratched his head sheepishly and laughed, "Haha~ Conan, really, I wanted to maintain a sense of mystery..."

While everyone was chatting, in another carriage not far away, several passengers were preparing to board the train.

"Isn't this Mr. Anton?"

"Long time no see, can I help you with your luggage?"

As he was speaking, the conductor at the door of the carriage was about to reach out to take the luggage of the man opposite.

But instead of handing him the giant board slung over his shoulder, the bespectacled, moustachioed man said.

"No, don't bother."

"This is an important item that the client entrusted to me for safekeeping.

The frame inside is made of pure gold, so it’s very heavy…”

"Unfortunately, the painting itself is just an ordinary fake. After the authentication, I have to take it back to Nagoya and return it to the client."

Hearing this, the conductor was stunned.

"Strange, the train's final destination hasn't been officially announced yet, so how did Mr. Anton know about it?"

Just as Anton was about to explain, a pair of figures approached from a distance.

"With just a little research, you should be able to understand this kind of thing, right?"

The speaker was a burly man with a square face, a thick beard and a long black backpack on his back.

Next to the man was a woman with slanted eyes wearing a sunhat and gold jewelry on her ears and neck.

The woman said indifferently, "Of all the trains today, only the one heading to Nagoya has had its schedule changed..."

The conductor looked at the two of them and recognized them.

"So it's Noto-san and Izumami-san. You two are riding the Mystery Train again this year..."

Just then, an old voice came from the other side of the conductor.

"We come here every year, but the only thing that piques our curiosity and interest is the mystery puzzles held inside the car..."

The old woman in the wheelchair had a dark veil hanging from her hat, like the veils that widowed women in Europe wear at funerals.

The old woman turned around and looked at the woman pushing the wheelchair behind her and asked, "Isn't that right, Sumitomo?"

"Yes, ma'am."

The conductor looked at the people in front of him and immediately stood up respectfully.

"As expected of you all, you're all passionate about deduction. It's my fault for not recognizing the most important person..."

At this time, a fat man came running from not far away and questioned the conductor.

"Hey! What the hell is going on?"

"I've been booking first-class carriage number eight for a long time, so why did it become carriage number seven this time?"

The conductor immediately apologized, "I'm truly sorry. This matter is the same as what I contacted you about a few days ago..."

"Due to a system error, your first reservation was unsuccessful. The second time I made your reservation, I could only change your room's location, Mr. Murohashi."

The man named "Murohashi" became even angrier when he heard this.

"Damn it! I've always loved that spot, so I always make a reservation as soon as it opens every year!"

"Who the hell is trying to take my place?!"

The conductor narrowed his eyes and smiled, not daring to reveal the real reason why the reservation failed.

In fact, the real reason was that the carriage was reserved by Suzuki Jirokichi.

No matter how fast your hands are, can you grab it faster than the organizer?

However, it is said that Jiro Suzuki will not take this train, but will give it to another important member of the Suzuki Group.

But just when the conductor was planning to fool the other party and force them to calm down, a voice came from not far away.

“That’s me…”

I saw a middle-aged man in a blue suit walking towards me, stroking his mustache.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, but my daughter is friends with the owner of this train, so I cut in line..."

"But everyone, rest assured, as long as I'm on this train, no matter what strange incidents occur, I, the famous detective Maori Bolang, will be able to get to the bottom of everything!"

After he finished speaking, the "Maori Boer Lang" playfully inkled it and lit a cigarette.

Of course, "Mori Boro" is not his real name, but Mori Kogoro.

The people present recognized the identity of Kogoro Mori, and they were all shocked at the same time, and were so shocked that they were speechless.

But at this moment,

Mao Lilan's voice came from the other side.

"Dad! What are you doing here?"

Maori Kogoro, cigarette in hand, was taken aback. "I was just saying hello to the other passengers in carriage 8..."

"Seriously, no smoking here!"

Mao Lilan snatched the cigarette from Mao Li Kogoro's mouth and put it into the ashtray she carried with her.

"Come with me now. We need to take a group photo in front of car number 6 before departure, and you're the only one missing."

“Oh, I see…”

Just like that, Kogoro Mouri, who was pretending to be cool, was forcibly pushed away by Ran Mouri.

However, Conan, who had just come to check out the situation because he was worried that Kogoro Mouri's trick had been exposed, had a bad feeling when he saw the passengers in car number 8 standing still.

Why is the atmosphere suddenly tense?

Was it because of his reaction after knowing that his uncle was a detective?

……

Kogoro Mori returned to the team, and the whole team gathered together.

The Mori family of three, plus Professor Agasa, Haibara Ai, the three little ones, Sonoko and Sera, a total of 10 people.

Among them, Kogoro Mori, Ran Mori, and Sonoko got on the train in carriage No. 8, which is the luxury carriage.

This place is closest to the gems that Kaito Kid might take, and it is also a good location to get the upper hand.

Professor Agasa and all the members of the Junior Detective League got on the train in car No. 6, which was one car away.

Sera was the only passenger in car No. 5, so he had to get on the train alone.

"Bye~"

"I'll come visit you in your carriage after the train leaves!"

Sera waved to the people in other carriages, then showed the ring pass on her finger to the conductor.

"Welcome aboard this mysterious train."

The conductor bowed slightly and invited Shiliang onto the train.

She walked a few meters forward in the carriage and soon found her own compartment.

Since Masumi Sera received the news about the mysterious train late, she didn't get a ticket for a separate compartment and had to share a compartment with others.

When she pushed the door open and entered, the stranger who was traveling with her was already sitting down in the chair.

"Hello, my name is Sera Masumi~"

Shira took the initiative to greet the stranger.

The stranger also raised his head and smiled politely in return.

"Hello, my name is Wakasa..."

"Wakasa Rumi."
