Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

Winnet frowned when she heard this, this was different from what she expected.

Could it be that this person really wanted to die, and after killing Izumo Keitaro, he jumped out of the car and committed suicide?

While she was doubting, Nishimura and Kogoro had already rushed out of the train and headed straight for the murderer's body in the tunnel; the body was placed on a cardboard. It was a man in his thirties or forties, wearing sunglasses and wrapped tightly.

Winnet had seen this look before when he got on the bus. On second thought, it seemed that she had only seen him once since he got on the bus.

At least, he did not eat and did not show up in the lounge car, otherwise other passengers would definitely have had a big impression.

Winnet stood in front of the train exit, watching from afar. Yukiko was also there. She seemed to be particularly concerned about this matter, but because she didn't want to reveal her identity, she didn't take the initiative to talk to her. In addition to the two of them, the witnesses who were in the rest car got off the train with Nishimura to identify the dead man.

"Is this the man you saw at that time?"

"Yes, I think it's him."

Nishimura nodded and looked at the body.

Soon, he discovered that the corpse's beard was bent diagonally upwards. After a little probing, he found that it was a fake beard glued on. Not only the beard, but even the hair was fake.

After the disguise was removed, even Nishimura, who had been calm all along, was shocked:

"This guy is! Asama Yasuji!"

"Please, this guy Asama Anji is not the same as before—"

Kogoro was speechless.

"Yes, he is the professional robber who attacked the Tokyo jewelry store not long ago but escaped without stealing anything."

Nishimura, who knows him well, added:

"I remember that he used to work with three people. After one of their partners died of poisoning, he disappeared from the scene. I thought he hadn't been out for too long and his methods were not good enough. I didn't expect to see him in this place..."

"Please wait a moment! The person shot dead in the train was the owner of the jewelry store that was attacked by Asama Yasuji not long ago."

The slightly plump police officer who followed him reminded him.

"What!?"

Nishimura was shocked again.

Combining this information, Kogoro asserted: "It seems that this matter is indeed a bit strange!"

"No matter what, since the person is already dead, we must protect the murderer's body." Nishimura instructed the police officer beside him, "Go and tell the conductor to let this train resume normal operation."

"it is good."

As the police officer ran past her, Winnett gave Yukiko a brief reminder before leaving:

"Bolo means horse manure."

Yukiko let out a nasal laugh.

After discovering the small flaw in her acting skills, she did not feel disappointed at all, but instead thought -

He is worthy of being her son.

As he passed the carriage, he saw Toru Amuro leaning against the transfer door. He said quietly, "I didn't expect it to be that Asama Yasuji. It is said that he hasn't appeared to commit a crime in several years. Maybe this incident is related to another accomplice of his."

"Isn't the case closed?"

Winnett had no idea what he wanted to say, and he had been watching from a distance since the beginning.

"It looks like that, but the key is what the guy said when he robbed the jewelry store." He smiled and said, "It's different from what we agreed... I don't know if it was the clerk or Izumo Keitaro who colluded with him, but he is definitely not the mastermind."

Amuro Toru's words were very certain.

"Why are you telling me this? Shouldn't you tell the police?"

Winnet asked back with a sigh of relief.

"Because... both you and that woman seem to have guessed this, so they are not surprised at the current situation. Now, I am becoming more and more curious about you."

Winette almost shuddered.

Could it be some kind of "interesting woman" development? It's really chilling.

……

407 Mother and Son Reunited

Just as Winnet expected.

As soon as the train started, Conan found Yukiko and was ready to list the mistakes she made in compiling the reason for the trip. As he was thinking about this, Yukiko confessed that she was proud of him.

Conan had a strange expression on his face when he heard this, he was really confused.

Yukiko's mood brightened when she saw his surprised look; the little girl was just as Sharon described, smart and sharp, and she saw through her omissions and her son's intentions in just a few words, which made her think that maybe she was aware of Shinichi's true identity, which was why she gave this private reminder. She took off her sunglasses and snorted:

"You saw through me after all! Shinichi, you are indeed amazing."

"Since you know what bolo means, why did you deliberately give the wrong answer? Aren't you always proud of your acting skills?"

Conan saw Yukiko's true appearance and laughed dryly:

"If it was someone else, it would be a different story, but don't think you can fool your son by changing your lipstick and hairstyle."

Yukiko touched her bangs and said unhappily that this hairstyle took her a lot of effort. Then she raised a finger and kept it a secret, saying that someone specifically told her that bolo is horse manure.

"Did he tell you?"

He was referring to Kudo Yusaku. Conan looked left and right, and recalled the people he had met, but there didn't seem to be anyone who matched the person.

Yukiko said with a smile:

"It seems that even you, Shinichi, have unexpected things happen to you! In fact, it was Winnet who told me. I think she has a good relationship with Xiaolan and you!"

"Little Winette?"

Conan felt a little strange about her address. Although she would occasionally call him Shin-chan, she would never use such an intimate address for a stranger. His mouth trembled, and he asked stiffly:

"You know her?"

"Of course! I will never forget such a cute girl once I have seen her." Yukiko put her hands on her hips, as if she was saying something she was proud of. "She was born to be an actress. It's such a pity, it's all because of those eyes..."

"Speak the key."

"She is the daughter of your Aunt Sharon's friend. Sharon always told me that little Winnet was like her own daughter."

Yukiko moves out of Sharon.

This name is not unfamiliar to Conan. A year ago, he and Xiaolan went to the United States for a trip. At that time, Yukiko took them to Broadway to watch an opera performance, where they met this person. But he didn't know her very well. He only knew that she was a very famous actress and was a good friend of Yukiko.

He frowned. Isn't Winnet British?

However, now is not the time to pursue such a small matter, so he asked:

"So that's how it is... Tell me, what was your purpose in sneaking into this train with such a disguise?"

Yukiko pouted when she heard that.

"Come on, of course I have to pretend! I'm a big celebrity in Japan!" she said sullenly, "Besides, can't I come all the way to see you?"

"That was hundreds of years ago..."

Conan complained embarrassedly that now when people mention Fujimine Yukiko, probably only his uncle Mori's generation knows her.

Showa out-of-date actress!

"You're so long-winded!"

"You don't know that I took this train, how could you have come here just to see me..." Conan changed the direction of his complaint.

"Well, the reason I took this train was because I saw a news report about Japan in Los Angeles. The report said that the robbers in the jewelry store left a very strange message and ran away without stealing anything. It was very strange!"

"Don't you think it's wrong?"

"Yes, Yusaku said so too. A professional robber would not be so careless. Also, the unbelievable sentence that the robber blurted out at the scene, 'This is completely different from what we agreed on,' is exactly the same as the plot of Yusaku's unpublished mystery novel 10 years ago. The only difference is that the store that was robbed in the novel was not a jewelry store, but a large ancient art store."

Yukiko told the story that she took the train back to her country just for this matter.

Conan had noticed earlier that this was very similar to a novel he had read, so he was not too surprised.

"And then, what else did Dad say?"

"Of course, we called the jewelry store right away. We wanted to know if the store manager would take a long tunnel trip by train in the near future. The owner of the art store in the novel was shot and killed by gangsters on the train. We didn't expect that he would actually take the Big Dipper train six days later."

This is exactly the same as the development of the novel. Conan seriously asked: "Then why didn't you stop it?"

"There's nothing I can do..." Yukiko was shocked by Conan's attitude and explained a little aggrievedly, "How could I have known that this murder would happen while I was in the toilet?"

"In that case, you could at least discuss it with me!"

Yukiko said sourly:

"But who told you to always stick with Xiaolan?"

"That's true, but we can always find a way."

Conan turned his head and did not deny it.

He still acts like a child now. Once he leaves without permission, Xiaolan will come running to look for him. After a few times, he has gradually gotten used to it.

Yukiko could tell that he was blaming her, and she felt even more wronged. She squatted down in front of him, staring at him with her big tearful eyes, and said in a sobbing voice:

"So what you mean is that the reason why that person was killed was all because of my fault!"

Being stared at by Yukiko with a pitiful look on her face, Conan gritted his teeth, shifted his gaze, and quickly took two steps to the side.

"No, I didn't say that!"

He was afraid that Yukiko would start crying like a little girl. Not only did he feel ashamed, but he also felt completely helpless.

He really has no idea what to do with women!

After taking two steps, Conan turned back and changed the main point of the conversation.

"Then where is the author who wrote this article to cause trouble for others now?"

"He has already taken the previous Hokutosei train to Sapporo." Yukiko explained about Yusaku's whereabouts, "Because we called the jewelry store, the clerks refused to tell us which train their boss would take, which only runs three times a day. That's why Yusaku and I took two trains each."

There are three trains in total, trains 1 and 3 will pass through the tunnel in the evening, and train 5 will pass through in the morning.

If the criminal really committed the crime according to the contents of the novel, he would definitely choose to do it at night when most passengers are resting and the lights are dim.

Conan understood this instantly.

"So, what method did you use? Dad should have told you, right?"

"Well..."

Yukiko felt a little embarrassed, but under Conan's scorching gaze, she still said she didn't know.

That novel was written by Yusaku Kudo 10 years ago. It was only half completed and had never been published. The only copy was also stolen, so even he himself didn't know about it.

"The novel was stolen?"

Conan was shocked.

"Yes, he gave the manuscript to someone in the editorial department for safekeeping. Later, that person encountered a bank robber, and it is said that the manuscript and the suitcase were stolen by the robber."

Robbers...

Conan immediately connected the whole incident to it.

"In that case, could it be that the robber is..."

"Yes, that's right. There are three robbers in total. The leader's name is Asama Yasuji, the man who was found in the tunnel just now."

"But this isn't right, is it? This robber boss stole the novel, so why did he have to commit crimes according to the contents of the novel?"

Especially when it comes to something as risky as jumping out of a window.

His questions were not resolved by Yukiko.

Just as he was thinking, Xiaolan suddenly came. His occasional disappearance had become her main worry, second only to the "missing Kudo Shinichi". Little did she know that there was no difference between the two.

"What are you doing here?"

In response to Xiaolan's questioning, Conan stammered like a mute.

He couldn't find a good excuse at the moment, so he had to make up a half-truth. He explained: "I, I was with this aunt——"

Aunt!

This keyword triggered Yukiko's resentment. She hated being called like that by ignorant children the most.
