People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 156: Reversal of the Express, the Silver Star on the road to destruction (7)

—————May 3, 11:15 p.m.——————

—————Silver Star train, third carriage corridor————————

"Well, I have something to tell you... that..."

Standing by the window of the third carriage, Takagi Shigeru was a little embarrassed to speak.

Miss Miwako Sato next to her was leaning quietly against the window, watching the scenery passing by quickly outside.

How should I put it... Takagi doesn't even dare to declare his pursuit openly, so it's hard to believe his sincerity.

Anyway, wait a little longer...?
"It's, it's..."

While Takagi Wataru was still hesitating, the next moment, the lights on the train suddenly dimmed.

There was no visible light in the entire carriage except the moonlight.

"W-what? What happened?"

Officer Takagi spoke in a panic.

Strange, very strange.

All the lights went out in an instant. Was there a power failure on the Silver Star?
No, the Silver Star is a private train that took a long time to plan and arrange, so this shouldn't have happened, right?
"I don't know, but it's obvious that something went wrong."

Officer Sato frowned.

She thought of the two gods of death and plague gathered together on the Silver Star train, Master Xiangyuan and Detective Maori.

And when these two get together, there is a high probability that a murder will occur...

I really suspect that it was their fate that took effect at this time, causing the Silver Star to lose power.

Shaking her head, getting rid of all the messy thoughts in her mind, Miwako Sato turned her head.

"Takagi, let's go find the train crew first. I hope we won't encounter any serious problems this time."

"For example, a bomb was installed on the train that would explode when it stopped, or robbers hijacked the train."

"Ah, bombs? Hijacking the train? No, that's impossible. This is just the first time the train has been opened..."

Takagi Shigeru retorted subconsciously, and then he thought of the duo of Death Gods on the Silver Star train.

For a moment, everyone was silent, because Detective Maori was really unlucky.

Although Attorney Xiang Yuan has never encountered similar incidents, complicated murders occur wherever he goes.

If these two people get together now, maybe something with such a small probability might really happen?

Subconsciously, Officer Takagi reached for the pistol at his waist, but found nothing.

He and Sato were on vacation, and it was obviously impossible for them to carry pistols in that situation.

"It seems that we can only go to the crew to confirm the current situation of the Silver Star."

"This is troublesome... Wait, speaking of the flight attendants, haven't you seen them in a while?"

Takagi Shigeru suddenly realized that he hadn't seen the Silver Star crew for a long time.

Shouldn't train crew generally provide comfort when there's a power outage?

Why didn’t any crew member notice the power outage after such a long time?
Boom, boom, boom.

The roar of the train still did not stop.

In the darkness, a flash of light suddenly appeared.

Officer Takagi and Officer Sato turned to look out the window at the same time.

I saw a faint flame looming in the darkness, moving in sync with the train.

The next moment, the flame went out, making people feel inexplicably fearful.

"Isn't this... a will-o'-the-wisp?"

"This world has a great magician like Yuan Guang, so it's not surprising that ghosts exist...?"

Takagi Wataru murmured subconsciously.

But before Sato Miwako, who was standing next to Takagi Wataru, could refute, the train began to shake violently. It was as if it had encountered some special situation and stopped suddenly!
If the sudden power outage before might have been just a malfunction of the Silver Star, the emergency stop now is definitely an accident!

Takagi and Sato looked at each other and immediately set off to go to the locomotive to check on the conductor's condition.

However, at this moment, the lights suddenly lit up as if they had suddenly gone out.

Officer Takagi and Officer Sato, who were originally moving forward, now subconsciously retreated.

Because, it was the flight attendants who walked out from the corner of the stairs.

However, the crew members of the Silver Star were holding miniature submachine guns in their hands!
"Submachine gun!? Is this true? How could this thing appear in our country?"

"No, that's not right. How did it end up in the hands of the Silver Star train crew?"

Officer Takagi exclaimed.

The flight attendants seemed to have heard Officer Takagi's words and separated to both sides.

The person who walked out was a figure that was very familiar to both Officer Takagi and Officer Sato.

It’s the death row prisoner who will be transferred back to the country from the United States today—Harbury Liebnand!

This silver-haired middle-aged man, wearing luxurious clothes and a top hat, looked intimidating without even being angry.

He still had shackles on his wrists with broken chains.

Combining the other party's identity and current attire, it is not difficult to know that this guy escaped from prison!

"Nice to meet you. I am Habri Libnand, the owner of the Silver Star."

"Now, the Silver Star has been occupied by me. Please return to your own carriage and do not go out."

"I want to ensure that you will arrive at Shikoku Station safe and sound at sunrise."

"No one will get hurt on this trip. I can promise you both."

Habri Libnand said so.

He walked past two criminal police officers, and the flight attendant next to him also acted as a guard to protect Libnand.

It was difficult for Takagi Shigeru and Sato Miwako to take action under such circumstances.

After all, no matter how good your kung fu is, you can't stop a bullet, not to mention that these guys are holding submachine guns.

After a burst of bullets, even the most powerful masters would find it difficult to maintain their ability to move...

Before entering the room, the flight attendant took away the two people's mobile phones to prevent them from communicating.

Then, Takagi and Sato looked at each other, and then Sato Miwako suddenly said.

"I don't want to be with this guy, he's always harassing me!"

"Even if I have to stay in the room, I don't want to stay in the same room or carriage with him!"

Takagi Wataru said sadly.

"But, I'm pursuing you so much, why don't you agree with my pursuit?"

Helpless about the situation, the two flight attendants holding submachine guns looked at each other.

The female flight attendant Regina immediately reached out to stop Takagi Wataru and said righteously.

"Sir, please stop your harassment. Madam, I'll take you to another room."

"Don't worry, we will be patrolling outside during this time, and no one will disturb you."

Is there anyone patrolling?
Miwako Sato frowned slightly.

This is a difficult situation. We can only hope that the patrol density is not too high.

Otherwise, it would be too difficult to deal with a well-prepared hostage-taker who is armed with a submachine gun.

"Okay, thank you very much, Miss Regina."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

However, few of them were unaware that there was a Gin whose blood pressure suddenly soared in the crack of the ceiling.
