Conan Rick's Investigator

Although there was such a situation in the previous case...

Just now, when Conan looked at the "criminal", he caught sight of the silenced pistol in his hand and recognized at a glance that the safety catch of the pistol was not even on.

Also, perhaps the organizers were worried that the passenger playing the detective would not be able to react quickly enough, so even the color of the bullet was black instead of the red color of blood.

……

The three little ones in front ran faster and soon left Conan and Haibara Ai behind for a distance.

However, the connecting passage between the carriages is blocked from view by the independent compartments inside the carriages.

In other words, it is impossible to directly see the situation in one compartment from another compartment.

As a result, when the three little ones chased forward to carriage No. 5, they realized that they had lost it.

"We lost the criminal..."

"These are all separate compartments. If he gets into one of them, we won't be able to find him..."

As Genta and Mitsuhiko were talking, Conan and Haibara Ai followed over.

When Conan saw this situation, he guessed that the puzzle was not that simple.

Just when he was about to do the analysis, the conductor at the rear of the train came over.

There is always a conductor in each passenger carriage of this train to provide service.

Just press the bell in the car

, the conductor outside will come over.

"Is this your first time on this train?"

"In that case, it would be best to return to your room immediately. We'll use the intercom to announce the details of this mystery puzzle to everyone."

Although the conductor said this, he actually just wanted to send these naughty children back to their rooms and stop them from running around in the corridor.

But when Conan heard this, he was stunned and asked quickly: "Hasn't anything happened so far?"

The conductor smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and glanced at his watch. "Yes, this mystery puzzle won't start until an hour later."

Upon hearing this, Conan's face was instantly confused.

What's the situation?

Could it be that the murder scene I just saw was real?

Thinking of this, Conan quickly ran back along the corridor.

Although the three little ones at the back didn't understand what was going on, they followed immediately.

And Haibara Ai sighed softly, lamenting that she would be involved in the incident again this time.

But just as she turned around and was about to catch up with the end of the team, she suddenly felt a palpitation.

It was as if a gaze from somewhere was staring at her like prey.

Haibara Ai felt a chill down her spine and quickly looked back warily.

However, there was not a single person in the front half of the corridor, and the doors of all the carriages were tightly closed.

"Let's go quickly, Ai."

Ayumi stopped, turned around and called Haibara Ai, which brought her back to her senses.

"Um……"

……

The Young Detectives walked through a carriage and returned to the door of Room B where the incident occurred.

Conan was serious this time. Without asking any questions, he opened the door.

But when the door opened, the fat man in the room disappeared.

Instead, there were Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko who were drinking tea, and Sera Masumi who was standing opposite them.

"Conan, what's wrong with you?" asked Xiaolan.

Suzuki Sonoko raised her eyebrows and lectured, "Hey, even if you're a kid, before entering a lady's room, you should at least knock on the door first, right?"

However, Conan ignored her and looked inside the room, muttering, "Um, this should be car number 7..."

"Ah?" Mao Li Ran was stunned.

Sera Masumi folded her arms and quickly took over the conversation, smiling at Conan who was standing lower down, "What are you talking about? This is clearly car number 8..."

"I just came into this room to play~"

Sera Masumi's eyes were slightly playful and amusing. Looking at Conan whose CPU was heating up, she was actually very excited inside.

Haha!

This Conan is so cute and adorable!

Chapter 1393: Dark Mysterious Train (Tunnel)

Conan led the Junior Detective Team out of the car with Xiaolan and others and walked back, intending to sort out the entire route to see if they had missed anything.

But when he walked to the corridor outside Room D, Dr. Agasa pushed the door open and poked his head out of the room.

"How's it going? Have you finished the mystery?"

Dr. Agasa still has confidence in Conan's ability to lead a team, so he did not follow the Junior Detective League.

But when the Junior Detective Team saw Professor Agasa, everyone looked shocked.

"Doctor, is this our room in carriage 6?"

Even Conan began to doubt his elementary school math ability.

But Dr. Agasa nodded and replied, "Yes... Look, the half-eaten snacks are still there in the room, aren't they?"

Conan came to the door and looked at the snacks. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his shrunken pupils showed surprise.

I was just in carriage No. 8 where Xiaolan and the others were. If I go back one carriage, it should be carriage No. 7.

But why did we return to Car No. 6?

Carriage No. 7 disappeared while driving?

After a moment, Conan came to his senses and looked around.

None of the cars on the Mystery Train are numbered.

If you want to ask for the carriage number, you can only ask the conductor sitting at the end of the carriage.

"Follow me!"

Conan and the Junior Detective Team immediately ran to the conductor at the end of the carriage and told him what had just happened.

"Car No. 7 disappeared?"

“Haha, how is this possible…”

The conductor had a relaxed smile on his face, obviously treating their words as a child's prank.

Yuantai quickly shouted again, "Just now we saw an uncle being shot in carriage 7!"

"The criminal escaped right after committing the crime! We chased him and accidentally lost him!"

Mitsuhiko continued, "When we returned, we discovered that carriage number 7 was gone!"

Hearing this, the conductor pretended to be surprised, but then smiled and said, "There's a pistol... Then why didn't you find the conductor in another car immediately?"

At this time, the indicator light of a compartment in the carriage lit up.

When the conductor saw this, he stood up and said to the Junior Detectives, "I think you should go ask another conductor like me."

"It's all because of the boss's arrangement. These carriages don't have numbers, which makes it harder for us conductors to guide them..."

The conductor came to the room where the indicator light was on, knocked on the door, provided service to the passengers inside, and no longer paid attention to Conan and the others.

Conan also felt that what the conductor said made sense. Why didn't he think of asking the conductor just now?

So Conan went to the next carriage and came to the end of the carriage, where he found the conductor who was sitting on a chair and yawning.

"Hello, may I know which car this is?"

"This is car number 7."

"Really?"

“Ah, um…”

Mitsuhiko was surprised and said, "What's going on! Car No. 7 revived on its own again!"

Ayumi: "What's going on?"

The three kids looked at Conan, the backbone, and waited for Conan to come up with an idea.

Conan raised his chin, thought for a moment, and decided to go back to Room B where the accident happened to take a look at the situation first.

But when they arrived at the door of Room B and opened it, they saw Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and Masumi Sera still inside.

"Um, is this really car number 8?"

As soon as Conan asked, Sonoko shouted impatiently, "Didn't I tell you this is car number 8?"

"I told you little brat to just go back to your room!"

Conan was scolded by Sonoko and kicked out of the room, and the door slammed shut with a bang.

The Young Detectives stood stupidly at the door, not knowing what to do next.

"Could it be that the conductor made a mistake?"

"Maybe, he looks sleepy..."

The three kids suspected the conductor at the end of the carriage and had no doubt that someone close to them might have deceived them.

However, Conan held his chin up, wondering why Sonoko reacted so strongly every time he knocked on the door.

It feels like I'm deliberately taking myself in another direction.

There is also Xiaolan's silent smile and Sera Masumi's meaningful smile...

correct!

Suddenly, Conan recalled the first time he knocked on the door, Xiaolan and Sonoko were both drinking tea with teacups, but Sera was the only one holding a card in his hand.

The style of that card seemed similar to the mystery puzzle letter he had received.

Thinking of this, Conan's mouth corners slowly rose, and the confused thoughts in his mind suddenly became clear.

He raised his hand and opened the door of Room B in front of him again.

"I'm talking to you!"

Sonoko saw Conan at the door appear again like an indestructible cockroach, and was about to scold a few people, but Conan interrupted her with a serious face.

"This room is undoubtedly Room B in Carriage 7, right?"

"I've already said it..."

Sonoko still wanted to struggle, but Conan just threw the evidence at her.

"Sonoko-nee, you guys got the letter too, right?"

“It’s similar to this one…”

As he said this, Conan took out the envelope from his trouser pocket and showed it.

"The card should say this is part of a mystery puzzle. It's asking you to temporarily switch rooms with the passenger playing the victim in this room, causing confusion among the detectives, leading to the current situation..."

Sera smiled and said, "Correct answer~"

"That's amazing, you're really Conan~" Ran Mouri clapped her hands with a smile.

Because she was not very good at lying and she was lying to people she knew, she did not say a word the whole time.

However, Sonoko thought it was a good opportunity and planned to take this opportunity to strike a blow against Conan's "arrogance".

But Sonoko didn't expect that instead of deceiving Conan, Sera felt it would be more interesting to give Conan some clues and let him solve the puzzle confidently.
