Chapter 489: The Dark Mysterious Train (5)

"We were actually selected to participate in the event!" After reading the envelope left at the door, Suzuki Sonoko was very surprised.

This train holds a reasoning activity every year. The format is to randomly select a few passengers from the train to play the role of 'murderer', 'victim', etc., and perform a crime according to the techniques provided by the organizer, and then the passengers will

Reason the truth and find out the murderer hidden among the passengers.

Karasuma Shuryo did not express an opinion, but there was a playful look in his eyes.

Mouri Kogoro had a slightly sarcastic expression, thinking: If you, a young lady, come to take the train, of course the organizer will give you more sense of participation. The choice is not the key identity of 'murderer' or 'deceased', but

As an 'accomplice', you can play a big or small role, so you don't have to worry about your poor acting skills affecting the game experience of other passengers.

In addition to the card, there was also a handwritten note in the envelope: {We have long admired the famous detective Mouri Kogoro. We hope that you will reveal the final answer to the puzzle. During the game, please come to the dining car for a while.

wait.}

After Wuliantong finished reading the note, Mouri Kogoro pinched his beard proudly: "That's it! It turns out that he was intimidated by my reputation as Moori Kogoro, and was afraid that I could solve the puzzle by dividing five by three.

Why are you restricting my movements in this way?"

"I think Mr. Karasuma's reasoning level is better, but Mr. Karasuma's reputation is not as famous as your uncle." Suzuki Sonoko commented.

Mouri Kogoro did not refute Suzuki Sonoko's statement, but looked at Karasuma Shuryo and said with a heroic smile: "How about it? Brother Karasuma, in order to provide a gaming experience for ordinary people, why don't you go to the dining car with me for a while?

"

Karasuma Jiuruo followed his kindness and said: "Okay." He picked up the lotus seeds, packed his backpack, picked up the hat hanging behind the door, and looked back at Wu Liantong before walking out of the room: "Have fun."

Wu Liantong always felt that there was something in the BOSS's words.

"Okay, let's get ready to exchange rooms with the 'victim' in Car No. 7." Suzuki Sonoko's voice interrupted Wu Liantong's thoughts.

After the three girls walked out of the room, they met Masumi Sera in the corridor.

"Hey, I was just about to come and play with you. What are you going to do in a group?" Masumi Sera asked, "The bathroom on the train is very small, so we don't want to form a group."

"Hush!" Sonoko first let out an exaggerated hiss, then waved for Sera Masumi to come closer. He took out an envelope and showed off: "Don't make it public, we have been selected to play the role of the mystery game, as accomplices."

"There is an accomplice this time!" Masumi Sera was a little surprised. Generally speaking, there is only one criminal in mystery novels or puzzles. The appearance of an accomplice is beyond expectation when used well, but it is a taboo if used improperly.

.

On the other hand, Sera Masumi, who was spoiled before even seeing the puzzle, had no choice but to join in: "It's so fun, take me with you!"

"Humph." Suzuki Sonoko smiled proudly: "Follow me!"

After passing through the connection between carriages 7 and 8, I hid in front of the corridor and looked in the direction of room B. I saw a group of little ghosts.

"Are these those little gangsters?" Yuanzi suddenly said with half-moon eyes, "Could they be playing the role of the murderers?"

"Is it possible that I deduce that Queen Sonoko's rare career as an accomplice is to help those little gangsters? I think that would be a bit boring."

On the other side, Conan and five other children stood in front of the door of Room B of Carriage 7, knocked on the door, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Bang bang bang! Three gunshots were fired, and a man in black wearing a mask and sunglasses squeezed the child away, rushed out of the room and ran towards the sixth carriage.

"Awesome! It looks just like the real thing!"

"Hurry up and catch up!"

"Hurry up! Conan and Xiao Ai come too!"

The children chased the murderer with a roar.

"So they are not murderers, but detectives or witnesses or something like that?" Suzuki Sonoko mumbled and walked out towards Room B.

Wu Liantong was suddenly worried for no reason, fearing that this was a fake show and that the person playing the victim in the room had become the real victim.

So she took two quick steps and walked to the door of Room B ahead of Suzuki Sonoko and looked inside.

But Wu Liantong thought too much. In the room, a pot-bellied man was arranging his clothes and wiping the fake blood on them.

When he saw a girl standing outside the door, he said hello with ease: "Hello, I am a corpse that was shot to death. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wuliantong, who was standing at the door, was squeezed away by Yuanzi: "Understand, understand! We are accomplices!"

Then Suzuki Sonoko saw the man in the room clearly and was a little disappointed: "I just saw Sister Tong being so proactive. I thought she was a handsome guy."

'You and I are different...' Wu Liantong thought to himself.

The 'victim' located in Room B of Car No. 7 was a man about the same build as Dr. A Li. He was in his forties, had a triangular beard, and was dressed in a neat white suit.

"Hello, we are passengers in room B of carriage 8." Mao Lilan stepped forward and introduced himself: "We received a letter to act as accomplices and help the murderer and the victim exchange carriages."

"I understand." The 'victim' smiled: "I don't need to trouble you to 'carry' the body. I will go to Room B of Car 8 and wait for a while. Hey, fate is really wonderful."

The last sentence was muttered to himself in a low voice, but you can hear it if you pay close attention.

Destiny? After looking at the other person carefully, I remembered that this man was the one who had argued with the train members before departure, that is, Etsuto Murohashi, who was originally booked in compartment B of carriage 8.

He missed the room and entered that room again because of a reasoning game. Is this what he meant by fate?

"Please be careful and don't let us get into trouble," Suzuki Sonoko said rudely to the victim.

Murohashi Yoshito chuckled and responded: "Don't worry, little girl, I've been a player for five years, and I participated in the show last time, so I'm very experienced."

After saying that, he walked towards Car No. 8.

Suzuki Sonoko stuck her head out, greeted the conductor at the end of the corridor, ordered four more cups of black tea and cakes, and continued the tea party in this room.

"Sonoko, can you show me that letter?" Sera Masumi said.

Just when Sera Masumi was looking at the card in the envelope, the door was pushed open violently. Conan and several other children rushed in and took a few steps. Then they saw someone drinking.

The four young ladies who were having black tea and eating cake were collectively stunned.

"Huh? What's the matter with you little brats? You broke into the lady's carriage and you didn't know how to knock on the door?" Accomplice No. 1 Suzuki Sonoko looked a little angry.

Accomplice No. 2 Mao Lilan just looked at the children and smiled without saying a word.

"This, is this room B of carriage 7?" Conan asked uncertainly.

Behind Conan, Mitsuhiko said: "We are detectives in a mystery game. An incident just happened in Room B of Car 7."

Accomplice No. 3 Wu Liantong shook his head: "No, this is our room, Room B, Car 8. Did you go too far?"

Sera Masumi still held the card inviting Suzuki Sonoko to be an accomplice. When Conan came in, she had no time to put it away, so she held it openly, as if she was talking about a photo at a tea party.

Conan scratched his head and said with a smile: "Maybe we went too far..."

Suzuki Sonoko pretended to lose her temper at the children again, scaring them away with a snicker on her face.

"Speaking of which, their room happened to be in carriage B, right?" Masumi Sera already understood the fun of this method: "There was no sign about the carriage number inside the carriage. After they believed that this was carriage 8, they walked back one

Carriage 7, only to find that the room they thought was Carriage 7 B is their own room.”

Wu Liantong continued: "Because they are just playing a reasoning game, they will not knock on the doors of other rooms to disturb other passengers to confirm the carriage. In this way, they will think that carriage No. 7 has completely disappeared."

"Huh huh huh~ With those stupid little devils, they would have never imagined it." Suzuki Sonoko laughed triumphantly: "Under my superb acting skills as the Queen of Reasoning, the detective characters were deceived and became lame, and the game failed! Oh~

Hoho~hoho~!”

"By the way, is this reasoning activity like this?" Wu Liantong felt a little strange: "Even the detectives are specific candidates. I thought all the passengers were detectives."
