Although it is a sea train, it does not run directly on the sea surface on the waves, but is suspended more than ten meters above the sea surface. Except for the lack of guardrails on both sides, it is essentially not much different from a car driving on a cross-sea bridge.
But this more than ten-meter drop is quite fatal for Kogoro Mori who is afraid of heights.
I saw him sitting on a chair, bending his body as low as possible so as not to look at the scenery outside the window. His face was pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Feeling that he was a bit embarrassed, Kogoro Mouri secretly looked around, trying to confirm if anyone else had noticed him. He happened to catch a glimpse of Minoru Nishina who was in a similar state as him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Oh, so Mr. Nishina is just like me and is not used to such high altitudes?"
"Do not……"
Minoru Nishina shook his head with sweat all over his forehead, and his face, which had the temperament of a pianist, looked very serious.
“I’m a little tricky with water because I’m a landlubber.”
"Oh, so that's it... Occupy..."
Although he failed to make up for it, Kogoro Mori's expression still relaxed a lot.
How does the saying go? As long as everyone embarrasses themselves together, no one will be embarrassed.
Although it was not much, the physical discomfort was relieved, and Kogoro Mori also began to become more active.
He glanced at the person in front of him, who was sitting with Serabelle instead of with Kisaki, and couldn't help but snorted in dissatisfaction.
Due to his proud nature, Kogoro Mouri suppressed the apology in his heart deep in his heart and continued to wander his eyes in the carriage.
Then it moved to another beautiful figure in the carriage.
Yup!
Kogoro Mouri hit his palm as if he had found the answer. He was about to turn around and talk to Nana Koyamauchi who was refinishing her nail polish, but he suddenly noticed that one of Serabel's arms next to Eri Kissing was hanging out of the window from the elbow down, and he was stunned.
"Hey, is that dangerous?"
Knowing that Kogoro Mori was talking about her, Serabel glanced at her left hand hanging outside the car window and said "oh" lightly.
"Well, this is because..."
He paused, changed his tone and spoke out the car window.
"What do you mean, do you want me to pull you up?"
Huh?
An ominous premonition and a big question mark appeared in Kogoro Mori's mind at the same time. The next second, he heard a familiar voice coming from the outside of the sea train that made his blood pressure soar.
"Of course you need to pull me up quickly. You've been holding on to my collar for so long that my clothes are going to be torn!"
Then, as Serabelle raised her arm, a kid with glasses was pulled in from the train window.
"Conan!?"
Kogoro Mori's eyes almost popped out of his head.
Kisaki Eri was also stunned.
She had been sitting next to Serabelle since she got on the bus, and after several minutes she hadn't noticed anything unusual about the latter.
Regardless of whether it takes some amazing arm strength to hold a living person in your hands for such a long time, you guys are really brave to dare to play like this.
You have to know that the sea is just a dozen meters below, and the shore is at least several hundred meters away. Even if a seven-year-old elementary school student can swim, he can't swim that far. If he falls in, he will die!
Serabelle still looked calm: "Well, he insisted that I find a way to bring him in the car, so I had to do this."
Mouri Kogoro "..."
Fei Yingli "..."
Looking at the people in the car who either had unhappy faces or were astonished, Conan scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled.
"Well, since we're here anyway."
Chapter 245 Left-handed
All we can say is that since we are here, the train is running on the vast ocean. Even if Kogoro Mouri is furious, he can't throw Conan off halfway.
As for waiting until we reach the Ocean Crystal Pavilion, the final stop, and then turning back to pick the person up, that is simply nonsense. After all, a single trip takes nearly five minutes, and a round trip takes about ten minutes.
Kogoro Mouri couldn't bring himself to let such a large group of people wait for him on a key platform for ten minutes, so he could only threaten Conan fiercely and then let it go.
A moment later, the sea train carrying a carriage of people quickly drove into the station located in the main body of the Ocean Crystal Pavilion under the guidance of the track.
The way of entering the station is a bit like the feeling of Tony Stark wearing armor and flying from the top floor into the Avengers Building in the Marvel movie Iron Man. After entering the building, drive forward a little bit, and then slowly stop.
The door opened and a group of people got off the train in an orderly manner.
Kogoro Mori got off the train and looked around the train platform, which was decorated as exquisitely as that of a high-end hotel, and couldn't help but marvel at it.
"This is the interior of the Ocean Crystal Pavilion..."
"Hey~ Stop looking, Detective-san, everyone has to go down~"
However, before he could finish expressing his inner feelings, he heard Shishido Nagaaki's call from behind.
Turning his head, he saw that everyone else had come to the open door of the platform elevator after getting off the next train, ready to go in; he was the only one still standing there stupidly.
"Uh, coming right up!"
Kogoro Maori couldn't help but feel ashamed. He responded hastily and quickly followed.
This vertical elevator has only two floors for up and down floors. The upper floor is on the station platform, and the lower floor is at the top of the sea part of the Ocean Crystal Pavilion.
When the elevator door opened, the scenery inside the Crystal Pavilion instantly came into view.
The exploding crystal flowers are only the exterior of this huge ocean crystal pavilion, while the interior is well planned.
Looking down from the top, the criss-crossing escalators connect the upper and lower floors like a spider web, which is completely the layout of a commercial plaza.
And because the exterior is shaped like crystal, when you look out from the inside, you can see that the "shell" of the crystal pavilion is made up of pieces of transparent glass mounted between solid steel frames almost as far as the naked eye can see. You can see the blue sea and sky outside, as well as the magnificent Tokyo in the distance.
The afternoon sun shines into the commercial plaza through the glass, illuminating the huge space and making the rich vegetation inside lush and green.
"This is really incredible..."
Without too much time to marvel and explore, Serabelle and his companions went from the elevator entrance to the giant column located in the center of the crystal hall.
There is also an elevator there, and it looks familiar.
That’s right, it’s similar in style to the elevator that connected the upper and lower floors of the Suzuki airship at the time, except that one was square and this one is round.
Entering the pure white elevator all the way down, after passing through a downward passage, the deep and all-encompassing blue suddenly hits you in the face.
The dazzling sunlight above shines through the sea level into the water, refracting into soft light waves, and various schools of fish swim past right next to your face.
"This is……"
Mouri Kogoro was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.
It turns out that the elevator was pure white before because the downward passage of the elevator was pure white, while the elevator itself was completely transparent 360 degrees horizontally.
Now they have reached the underwater part, and the passage has become transparent.
No one expected that Xu Shengyi actually built an underwater observation elevator.
Everyone else couldn't help but look up at the sea view around them and above their heads, but Serabelle was the only one who came to the edge of the elevator and looked down at the deeper sea below.
It was a circular building built on the seabed, almost the same size as the buildings above the sea surface. It was also the destination of their trip.
"…This is the underwater restaurant of the Ocean Crystal Pavilion."
The elevator reached the bottom in a short while. Perhaps because they were overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery of the sea, as soon as the elevator door opened, everyone curiously stretched their necks to look around outside, for fear of missing out on any wonders.
But it is obvious that this expectation will be dashed.
All the shock was left at the moment when the underwater sightseeing elevator entered the water, and when we really arrived at the underwater restaurant, there was only relaxing tranquility and peace.
You can still see the scenery in the sea, but it is no longer a macro view that takes in everything, but a more detailed micro view.
In the circular restaurant, tables and chairs are placed against the wall, and the fish, coral reefs and seaweed on the seabed are separated from people only by a piece of glass.
There is also a red sports car on the platform in the middle of the restaurant.
Nana Oyamauchi, who loves racing, screamed at the first sight and ran over quickly.
"Great! It's a Ferrari F40, but how did they transport the car down here?"
However, no one answered her question and the whole restaurant was silent.
But it's normal. After all, this place has just been completed. Not to mention the official opening, even the trial operation has not started yet. To some extent, they are the first batch of trial operation customers.
But trial operation is trial operation, and no matter what, everyone is just a guest invited by the boss.
The guests have arrived, but the boss hasn’t arrived yet. Isn’t this too much?
"I don't think I've seen Mr. Xu... What? Has he not arrived yet?"
Serabell tapped the ground with her cane and said as she walked out of the elevator with Eri Kisaki.
After hearing this, Nana Koyama, who was still infatuated with the sports car, came to her senses and also asked curiously.
"Yes, where is Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi?"
"I don't know. I haven't received any notification."
Shishido Nagaaki put down his camera, took out his cell phone, glanced at the message, shook his head to indicate that he had not received anything, and turned to Nishina Minoru and Peter Ford.
"What about you two?"
"I do not have either."
"Nope."
Got the same answer.
Shiratori thought for a moment, his expression slightly tense, and he quickly came to Inspector Megure's side.
"Inspector, Mr. Asahi has probably been ..."
"Murakami? What Murakami?"
Shishido Nagaaki had sharp ears, and he caught the key words immediately when listening to the two people whispering.
At the same time, Koyamauchi Nana and foreigner Peter Ford also came closer.
"Yes, police department, didn't you seem to have something to say before, about this Murakami father-in-law?"
"Ah, it's about time I told you about this."
The Mumu Police Department randomly picked a dining table nearby, took out a photo from his clothes and put it on the table.
"This man is Murakami-jo..."
Serabelle had never known what Murakami looked like, but when she saw the photo, she leaned over to take a look.
The photo shows a thin man in a casino work uniform who is dealing cards. Although he looks a little shifty at first glance, the shirt and vest he wears, as well as the slight curve of his mouth, give him an inexplicable gambler temperament.
And... a left-handed person?
Chapter 246: Hug a Kiyori
Considering that even the most interesting story would turn into a chivalrous one if told too much, Serabelle left after taking a quick glance at the photo, leaving Inspector Megure alone in the hall to continue explaining the story of Murakami Takeshi to Shishido Nagaaki and others.
It is worth mentioning that Kogoro Mori and Inspector Shiratori had already known about Murakami Takeshi, so they left the hall before Serabelle and went to patrol elsewhere in the underwater restaurant.
Inspector Shiratori went to the kitchen, while Kogoro Mouri went to the office.
And Serabel went to the wine cellar, and he was accompanied by his target of protection this time, Kisaki Eri.
The wine cellar is located at the innermost side of the underwater restaurant.
Compared with the modern style of the lobby outside and the commercial plaza on the top, the decoration of the wine cellar still adopts the most retro style.
Simple cement and red bricks are piled up into thick walls to isolate the impact of the outside temperature. When you push open the rough-textured heavy wooden door, a faint aroma of wine hits you in the face.
Along with it came a chilly cold air that was almost enough to give one goosebumps.
"So~cold."
Serabelle casually pulled the cord on the side of the wine cellar door to turn on the light. Under the dim light from overhead, she looked at the room full of wine and complained calmly.
You have to know that it is not yet mid-October. Although the weather in Tokyo has eased slightly compared to the dog days, it is still basically around 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. A thin shirt is enough when you go out. The air conditioning in major shopping malls is also maintained at around 25 to 26 degrees.
But the temperature in this wine cellar was unexpectedly low.
