Conan Rick's Investigator

So she deliberately picked up the card and waited for Conan to come over and let him see it.

"What? How boring..."

Sonoko shook her head helplessly, then turned and angrily shouted at Conan: "The card said that we should exchange rooms with the passengers of the victim in car No. 7 to make the mystery more interesting, so here we are!"

"I didn't expect you to see through me so quickly!"

Sera smiled and explained, "I happened to see them swapping rooms while visiting, so I joined in..."

Conan looked at Sonoko, who was furious after her trick was exposed, and his mouth twitched helplessly.

Haha, I got even angrier when I was told that...

Next, several people exchanged some details about the reasoning puzzle.

The cards that Sonoko and the others received invited them to act as accomplices and hide the fact that they had exchanged rooms.

Kogoro Mori was asked to wait in the dining car alone, and he was the one who explained the whole incident in the end.

Conan grinned, thinking to himself: I have to explain it later, what a hassle...

At this moment, Sera glanced at the children in the lower area and noticed the brown-haired loli at the back of the crowd.

This is a good opportunity to say hello to my cousin~

"By the way, this is our first official meeting, right?"

"I've been wanting to find a chance to get to know you guys properly. I heard you guys formed... the Boy Detective Team?"

When I heard the keyword "Junior Detective Team"

The three little ones immediately became excited and gathered together to pose.

"That's right! We are the Junior Detective Team!"

"My name is Kojima Genta!"

"My name is Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya!"

"My name is Yoshida Ayumi!"

"Edogawa Conan..."

Looking at the cute appearance of the three little ones, especially Conan's listless look, Sera sneered and turned her head to Haibara Ai at the back.

"What about this little girl?"

Ayumi immediately turned around and introduced, "This is Ai! She's also a member of our Junior Detective Team!"

"Oh? Then please give me your guidance from now on~"

"Ai~"

Masumi Sera bent down, her eyes were level with Haibara Ai, and she stretched out her hand in front of Haibara Ai.

But when Haibara Ai looked at the familiar Sera Masumi in front of her, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She subconsciously shrank her body behind Conan, which was also a disguised rejection of Sera Masumi's handshake.

Conan glanced at Haibara Ai behind him, not understanding why she suddenly became so shy, but he still helped her out.

"Sorry, she's quite shy~"

"Ah..." Sera was stunned and could only withdraw his hand awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Masumi Sera straightened up and looked at her palms in confusion, wondering if she was too enthusiastic and scared her cousin.

I just want to get to know you...

……

After solving the reasoning puzzle, everyone went to the rear of the carriage and planned to tell the conductor about the situation.

However, when the conductor took the two envelope cards with reasoning puzzles, he looked puzzled.

"Hmm... this is indeed the same design as the instruction card I used before..."

"But the content here is completely different from the tricks I heard before."

As he said this, the conductor returned the two cards to Sonoko and Conan.

Sonoko stared at the card in her hand, puzzled, "What on earth is going on?"

Conan thought seriously.

The conductor had said before that the puzzle would not start until an hour later, and he thought that the conductor had said that in order to trick Sonoko and the others.

Now it seems that it was probably a "misunderstanding".

As for what exactly this "misunderstanding" is, we can only go first...

"At this point, all we can do is go to car 8 and ask the passenger who played the victim."

"What do you say, Conan?"

Sera looked at Conan who was standing lower than her, with a meaningful smile on her face.

Conan looked at Sera with some confusion and could only nod and say "hmm".

In this way, everyone bypassed the connection between the carriages and headed towards carriage No. 8.

At this moment, the train just entered the tunnel, and it suddenly became dark outside the window, leaving only the dim light on the arched ceiling of the corridor.

In Room A of Carriage No. 8, Qin Zhibo was carefully taking off the human skin mask to let some fresh air into the skin on his face.

The human skin mask on the table was full of wrinkles, and the beard under the chin and nose was quite thick.

Since all the tickets for the mysterious train had been sold out long ago, Qin Zhibo had to start from those who already had tickets.

After some research, he found a user who shared his mystery train rides on his blog every year.

Let Hiroki Sawada hack into this person's blog and obtain his IP

He is a former Self-Defense Force officer and his hobby is kendo.

Since his body shape and height were similar to his own, Qin Zhibo chose him as his disguise target.

This morning, he ambushed Noto Taisaku in the parking lot as he was about to drive to the train station. After knocking him unconscious, he took his place and went to the station.

But when he arrived at the station, he realized something was wrong.

It turns out that this man was not alone in the mysterious train;

Every year I ride the Mystery Train with the same people.

That is, the other passengers in carriage 8.

Shortly after the train started, these people gathered in the dining car.

Fortunately, the connections between these people were not too deep. It seemed that they were survivors of a fire and gathered together to mourn the dead.

Qin Zhibo sat on a chair, took out his laptop, and searched for information related to the fire on the computer.

Since several people had just talked in the dining car about the fire happening in April five years ago at a certain wealthy family's villa, it was easy to find out.

5年前的4月17日22时40分，位于静冈县的某资产家别墅在举行生日宴的中途发生火灾。

It took five days to completely put out the fire, and the 5-square-meter villa was burned down.

The incident resulted in the death toll of 12 people, including the entire family of the wealthy man and some guests attending the banquet.

There were a total of 6 survivors.

Qin Zhibo calculated that there were a total of five compartments in this first-class carriage, one of which was shared by the old lady with limited mobility and the maid.

There is one survivor in each of the other rooms.

However, the man named Murohashi was arranged through the backdoor by the organizer this time and was unable to get a room in carriage No. 8.

And the target that he chose for disguise happened to be one of them.

This strange configuration, plus the fact that Conan is also on this train, could this be a sign of a crime?

Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking, there was a sudden hurried knock on the door.

"Mr. Noto!"

"Mr. Noto!"

Qin Zhibo quickly put away the laptop and put the human skin mask back on his head.

He pushed open the door and found that the person standing at the door was the conductor of this carriage.

"What are you doing? I didn't ask you to come here!"

Qin Zhibo imitated Noto Taisaku's usual tone and yelled at the conductor in front of him.

The conductor was stunned, "But then, the bell rang..."

The bell means that each car is equipped with a pager, which can be used to call the conductor in the corridor at any time.

However, Qin Zhibo clearly remembered that he did not press the pager.

"What does this have to do with me? I didn't press the button. You came here to disturb my rest when you had nothing to do..."

At the same time, the door of a room not far away was opened, half of a head was exposed, looking out, with a phone in hand.

However, Qin Zhibo did not care too much, but quickly closed the door to prevent the human skin mask he hastily put on from revealing any flaws.

Just as Qin Zhibo's door was closed, the call bell rang again in the dim corridor.

Chapter 1394: The Dark Mysterious Train (Case)

“Here it comes! Here it comes!”

The bespectacled conductor glanced at the indicator lights on each room and immediately confirmed that the room being called was Room E at the end of the carriage.

He quickly ran from the front to the back of the car, turned off the indicator light first, and then knocked on the door.

"Miss Izumami?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in the room opened the door and came up and angrily said to the conductor, "Can't you think of a solution?"

"Thinking about what?"

"It's a sound!"

The woman named "Izubo" pinched her waist, raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "I have been hearing strange noises in my room!"

"A sound? But I didn't hear it..."

The conductor tried to talk back, but the woman only responded with an even more arrogant rebuke. "There were strange noises just now. Do you think I'm lying?"

"No, there is absolutely no such thing..." The conductor quickly stepped back and tried to defend himself.

At this moment, a "beeping" sound was heard in the room. Although it was faint, it was indeed worth discussing.

"Did you hear it this time? It's that voice!"

"Indeed... I think someone might have left a phone or something in the room?"

As he was speaking, the conductor was about to walk into the room to check.

But Izuku immediately pushed him out the door, "Don't come in here casually, I'll find it myself!"

"And what I want to say is, why didn't I notice someone left a phone in my room before I left?"

“Well, I’m so sorry…”

The conductor could only scratch his head and apologize.

At the same time, a man with glasses and a moustache walked out of a room in the middle of the train and asked, "Um... what exactly happened?"

At the corner of carriage A, Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Li Ran and Sera also happened to walk over.

In the dim corridor, Yuanzi glanced at the other people in the corridor, then went straight to Room B and knocked on the door.

"Here we are, this is our room."

Yuanzi knocked on the door and said, "Hey, uncle, the trap you set has been solved..."

"Come out quickly and explain it to everyone!"

However, no one answered in the room.
