Conan Rick's Investigator

"Just don't open the door!" Haibara Ai repeated sternly.

"But……"

Ran Mouri and everyone else in the room were even more confused, especially Professor Agasa.

"Ai, what's wrong with you?"

"There's an enemy...on the other side of the door..." Haibara Ai murmured.

"What?"

Haibara Ai's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and no one else could hear it clearly.

At this time, Haibara Ai was thinking about how to save the lives of other people in the room.

Now Vermouth and other members of the organization must be waiting at the door with guns.

As long as the door is opened, everyone will die!

But if you don't open the door, the other party will break in sooner or later, and the result will be the same.

It's over, dead end...

Unless you plead with Vermouth to let the others go before the other party opens fire.

Thinking of this, Haibara Ai cleared her throat, hoping to remove the timidity from her voice as much as possible and increase her bargaining chips with the other party.

There were other passengers and a famous detective in the car, so the other party probably didn't want to make too much noise.

Just when Haibara Ai had already formulated a negotiation strategy in her mind, an urgent voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Hey, Ran!"

"I'm Sera Masumi, are you guys in there?"

Before Haibara Ai could stop her, Mao Lilan answered, "We are inside..."

"Then open the door. I'm standing at the door now. I have something important to discuss with you."

"Yes, I'll open the door right away..."

Mao Lilan responded and reached out to open the door.

Haibara Ai wanted to stop it, but it was too late. The door handle had been pressed down to the point where it could be pulled open directly from the outside.

Oops!

Vermouth can change her voice, this must be the voice she made!

The gap in the doorway grew bigger and bigger, and Haibara Ai's pupils dilated in horror.

But when the door was completely opened, Sera Masumi was standing there alone.

"Really? What took you so long to open the door?"

"Yes……"

Mao Lilan glanced at Haibara Ai who was standing lower than her and chose not to tell the reason.

Masumi Sera walked into the room, took out his cell phone, and explained why he was there.

Hearing that they could contribute to solving the case, the three little ones sat obediently in a row and watched the recorded running video with Sera's mobile phone.

While waiting, Sera turned around and asked Mouri Ran why she didn't open the door just now.

Mao Lilan explained: "It's Xiao Ai who has a cold. We were feeding her medicine just now..."

"Have you caught a cold?"

Sera was startled and looked down at Haibara Ai who was also staring at her, and very naturally wanted to reach out and touch her cousin's forehead.

But Haibara Ai subconsciously took a half step back and looked at her with a vigilant look.

This small action was very hurtful, and Sera could only smile awkwardly and withdrew his hand awkwardly.

At this time, Dr. Agasa asked about the progress of the investigation into the case.

Sera Masumi replied: "Conan and Mr. Mori are still investigating, but we can basically identify the culprit as a passenger in car 8."

"oh."

Dr. Agasa nodded in understanding. As long as the murderer's range was determined, it would only be a matter of time to find the murderer based on the previous pace.

Meanwhile, Haibara Ai, who was standing lower down, heard about the progress of the investigation and also understood the current situation.

Judging from the palpitating feeling just now, Vermouth should be someone in car number 8.

The case is still under investigation and she cannot get away for the time being, so she can only send a warning to herself via text message.

In other words, as long as you take the initiative to leave us before the investigation is completed, it will be fine.

Haibara Ai looked around at everyone in the room, feeling extremely heavy at the thought of saying goodbye.

There has never been a time when I was so eager for Conan to take longer to solve the case...

A little longer...

……

In carriage No. 8, Kogoro Mouri and Conan are waiting for Masumi Sera to bring back the identification information of the three little ones.

Although the three little ones only saw the back, which cannot be used as decisive evidence, it can still provide a reference for solving the case.

At this time, news also came from the conductor.

Since a murder had occurred, the train should have stopped at the nearest station to allow the police to come up and investigate.

However, thanks to the operation of Suzuki Jirokichi, the train was changed to stop at Nagoya Station. He wanted to see for himself what the murderer who defiled the Suzuki train looked like.

Conan drooped his eyelids and complained helplessly in his heart: How much power does that uncle have?

"Since we still have plenty of time, why don't we recreate the scene of the train passing through the tunnel?"

"Maybe we'll find something..."

Maori Kogoro turned to look at Noto who was speaking, and although he was reluctant to accept the suggestion of a suspect, he still said, "That's fine."

Then, everyone returned to their rooms and rehearsed the incident from the beginning.

First, a call bell sounded in the corridor, and the conductor subconsciously judged that it was Mr. Noto in Room A who pressed the call bell...

Conan held his chin up, watching Noto talking to the conductor at the door, while sorting out his thoughts in his mind.

"Around this time, the door to Room B opened, and Mr. Murohashi poked his head out, phone in hand..."

"The train was in a tunnel at the time, and the corridor was dim, but I think I was right."

Qin Zhibo, who was demonstrating the process, seemed to be adding details to the process, but in fact he was reminding Conan.

Hearing this, Conan's mind suddenly lit up.

, realized something.

Yup!

The train was in a tunnel at the time and the deceased was making a phone call, so the signal must have been bad.

At this time, the deceased may have opened the door in order to meet directly with the person he was talking to.

And the person who was talking on the phone with the deceased at that time was the murderer!

Conan quickly ran to the door of Room B, opened it to 90 degrees, and then looked from the side.

really……

The width of this door almost covers the corridor. As long as the criminal enters room B when the deceased opens the door, the conductor and Mr. Noto on the other side will not be able to see him.

In this case, the murderer can only be someone in room C, D, or E.

But who is it?

Also, why did the suspicious figure that the conductor saw last appear at the head of the carriage?

Qin Zhibo on this side saw Conan's expression suddenly relaxed for a moment, and knew that this boy understood his hint.

The next step is to figure out how the murderer left room B without being noticed.

At this time, Miss Izumi in Room E pressed the call bell and the conductor hurried over to deal with it.

The two sides argued about the strange noise for half a minute. At this time, Anton from Room C came out to check.

"At this time, Xiaolan-nee and I and the others just happened to be walking around the corner of that corridor!"

Conan also told the trajectory of his own actions, adding the final link.

However, after watching the whole process, Kogoro Mori still didn't understand what was going on.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing at the door, heard Conan's voice and smiled knowingly.

He already knew who the murderer was.

Originally, the murderer could only be one of Izubo or Anton.

Since Izumi was talking to the conductor in Room E at the time, the murderer was obviously Anton.

He used some kind of trick to walk out of room B without being discovered, and also created a false figure to frame himself.

I definitely didn't stick my head out of Room A at that time, but the conductor saw a suspicious figure at this distance.

Plus, the corridor was very dark at that time, so it should be a good opportunity to use "that"...

"Alright, everyone, come out."

At this time, Kogoro Mori called out to everyone in the corridor.

All suspects regrouped.

But before Kogoro Mori could start to summarize what had just happened, Qin Zhibo took the lead and spoke.

"The answer is obvious."

"The murderer took advantage of Mr. Murohashi opening the door and entered the room from the other side of the corridor. Therefore, the murderer can only be someone in Rooms C, D, or E."

"However, Miss Izumi in Compartment E quickly pressed the call bell and spoke to the conductor at the door of Compartment E. Therefore, Miss Izumi couldn't have been the murderer."

"And Miss Mino and her maid in Room D never left the room from beginning to end. The possibility of them committing the crime together is relatively small..."

"So the murderer can only be you, Mr. Anton."

Chapter 1397: The Dark Mysterious Train (Technique)

Carriage 6, Room D.

"I finished looking, but I didn't find that person..."

The three little ones returned the phone to Sera Masumi, all of them were in very low spirits.

Because after repeated identification by the three little ones, they did not find any passenger whose back was the same as the "criminal" who escaped at that time.

"is it?"

Shiliang took the phone and could only smile and comfort the three little ones, "It doesn't matter, even if we can't recognize it, Detective Maori will definitely be able to find out who the murderer is!"

"That's it for now. I'll go back and tell Mr. Maori and the others..."

After saying that, Shira left in a hurry.

After Sera Masumi left, Haibara Ai also jumped down from her seat and walked towards the door.

Mao Lilan saw it and asked hurriedly: "Xiao Ai, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the bathroom and take some medicine..."

Huibara Ai's voice was very cold, and after she finished speaking, she opened the door and left.

Mao Lilan wanted to follow him worriedly, but Suzuki Sonoko beside her hugged her shoulders and said calmly: "That child is different from ordinary kids. Even if you follow him now, you will only be hated."

"But……"

"It's okay, just sit here and wait for a while. Isn't the murderer suspected in car 8? This means that the other cars are absolutely safe."

After Sonoko's explanation, Mao Lilan felt a little relieved and did not chase after her.
