Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 304 Conan: This is fundamentally different from what was agreed!
The woman threw down a few words without thinking, and then canceled the seat in the dining car she had reserved.

Conan looked at the woman's slender back and vaguely felt a sense of familiarity, so he hurriedly picked up the dishes on the two dinner plates that were obviously inferior to Matsumoto Ryohei's craftsmanship.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm full!"

"I'm going to play somewhere else first!"

Without waiting for Mao Lilan's answer, Conan jumped off his seat and rushed towards the direction where the woman left.

"Conan! Really."

As soon as Mao Lilan put down the knife and fork in his hand and was about to chase out, Mao Li Kogoro on the opposite side said indifferently: "Anyway, the train is such a big place, so let's go with that brat."

Mao Lilan thought about it carefully, but it was true.

And Conan's personality is not that of a bear child, which is quite reassuring for her.

Conan quickly caught up with the woman, and accosted the woman with an immature face, "Auntie?"

Conan's first greeting triggered the woman's taboo keyword.

The woman squatted down, raised a finger and said solemnly to Conan: "To address a woman like me, you should call her sister, not aunt."

"Got it? Conan?"

The woman pinched Conan's face as soon as she raised her hand, not treating herself as an outsider at all.

And she is indeed not an outsider.

Just now when he was a "tail-walking idiot" in the corridor and carefully observed his walking posture, Conan vaguely guessed who this person was.

"Ha ha"

"It's really you."

Conan laughed awkwardly, put his hands in his pockets, and looked familiar, "It's a different story if it's someone else, but don't think that changing your lipstick and hairstyle can fool your son's eyes."

"Ah?" Yukiko Kudo stood up, holding her playful bangs with her fingers, "But it took me a lot of effort just to get this hair~"

Conan showed half-moon eyes, and asked helplessly: "Tell me, what is the purpose of you sneaking into this train with such painstaking efforts?"

Kudo Yukiko glanced at the corridor of the carriage vigilantly, took Conan into her box, and then slowly explained the reason why she appeared here.

"Because I saw a news report in Los Angeles about a robber in a gem shop who left a strange remark in Japan and ran away without stealing anything."

"Yusaku thinks this incident is very strange. It is exactly the same as the plot of the mystery novel that he was robbed by bank robbers before he published it 10 years ago. The only difference is that in that novel, the robbed is an ancient art exhibition hall."

Conan frowned, and continued to ask, "What happened next? What else did Dad say?"

Kudo Yukiko said sternly: "Of course, call the jewelry store immediately and ask the owner of the jewelry store if he has any plans to take a train for a long-distance tunnel journey in the near future."

"Because the curator of the art gallery in the novel was shot and killed by gangsters in the next train."

"I didn't expect the owner of this jewelry store to really have a plan to take the Big Dipper train in 6 days."

Conan paced back and forth in the box with his chin in his hand, thinking about the ins and outs of all this.

No wonder I felt the phrase "This is fundamentally different from what I said" a little familiar just now, so I saw it in my father's novel.

"So the author who wrote this article to cause trouble for others is the man in the corridor with the newspaper covering his face?"

Kudo Yukiko waved her hand, "Where are you talking about? Yusaku is not on this train at all."

"Ah?" Conan looked surprised, so what happened to the man who had been secretly monitoring the corridor?

"We didn't know which train the jewelry store owner was going to take, so Yusaku and I took two separate trains."

Conan showed his half-moon eyes in disgust, as if he had matched himself with a "pig teammate" during the random matching of the dungeon.

"And the novel? Have you brought it?"

Kudo Yukiko shook her head, "No."

"What about the method and the murderer? Do you remember?"

Kudo Yukiko shook her head again, "I don't remember"

Conan was deflated continuously, as if he finally had a reference answer to the case this time, and it turned out that [Answer: Omit] was written on it.

It's really real in the world!
Do not!It's the crumbs of the world!
No way, Conan could only rely on his own memory to try to recall, and finally thought of some details.

"I remember that there is a description in the novel about the time when the case happened. Did it happen when the train passed through the tunnel?"

"Combining the time and the length of the tunnel, only four o'clock in the morning when the train passes through the Seikan Tunnel is the most likely time for the murderer to strike."

"There are still about 9 hours until four o'clock in the morning. Let's investigate and see if there are any enemies of the jewelry store owner on the train."

In the following time, Conan turned into a little prince and asked questions around the owner of the jewelry store.

Thanks to the blessing of the "Answer All Questions" buff, Conan also concluded some suspicious candidates.

First of all, the mayor of Stone Hammer City who confronted the owner of the jewelry store in the dining car. Because of the mayor's election, he and the owner of the jewelry store are veritable competitors.

Secondly, Jia Yueli, the employee of the jewelry store owner, is also motivated. After all, the boss has always spoken to him in a high-spirited tone, and it is inevitable that there is a greater friction behind it.

Finally, there is the jewelry store robber who is stopped by the jewelry store owner.

If the robber was also on the train, he was the most likely candidate for the potential murder.

As for the candidate for the robber, Conan felt that the man who had been covering his head with a newspaper in the corridor of the train was the most suspicious.

But when Conan was about to explore this man's reality, he was no longer seen in the corridor of the train.

Time passed by, and until four o'clock in the morning when he was about to enter the Seikan Tunnel, Conan was still not sure who the murderer who wanted to kill the owner of the jewelry store was.

Conan, who lied about going to the toilet, sneaked back to the dining car, just in time to see the owner of the jewelry store sitting alone at the table with a cigar in his mouth.

Behind him, a masked man in a dark gray windbreaker approached quietly, and took out a pistol from his pocket without saying a word.

Conan, who happened to see this scene, and Yukiko Kudo, who was on the other side of the dining car, immediately reminded them.

"careful!"

However, the sound was not as fast as the bullet after all, and a fresh life disappeared before Conan's eyes in an instant.

——The gunshots and screams were drowned out by the loud rumble in the tunnel——

—the man ran like a hungry beast toward the dark train corridor—

——However, after a few minutes, the man disappeared—

——Only the noisy melody played by the sound of the wind and the train at this time——

His father's voice echoed in his ears, and Conan began to predict the murderer's next move through his memory of the novel.

He was going to escape into the darkened train corridor!

At this time, Conan happened to be standing in the direction where the murderer was going to escape, so without saying a word, Conan snapped off the cover of the watch-shaped anesthetic needle and started aiming.

Then, when Conan was waiting for the murderer to get closer so that he could aim more accurately, something unexpected happened.

The passengers surrounded by the dining car did not panic or scream at all, but all rushed towards the murderer desperately.

The murderer looked around in surprise, and before he had time to react, the passengers in the dining car collectively subdued him by stacking arhats.

At this time, a voice sounded from another section of the carriage.

"Phantom Thief Kidd is shooting!"

"Catch Kaito Kidd! Don't let him get away!"

Conan looked in surprise at the person who appeared in the opposite carriage, it was actually Police Officer Nakamori!

Conan: This is completely different from what was agreed!
