Chapter 2 What the Pangolin Said
Chapter 2 What the Pangolin Said
Without the gem exhibition, there would be no appearance of Kaito Kidd.
This train will not stop until it reaches its destination.
Although there is no exact announcement, if you search today's travel conditions on the Internet, you will know that the train's final destination is Nagoya.
At this moment, a card was stuffed through the crack in the door.
It's very similar to the plot of some hotels.
Out of curiosity, Qinghai Chuantang walked over, picked up the card and checked the contents on it.
At the crime scene, a man was lying on the ground with a slicing knife stuck in his back and a “chi” character written in blood next to his hand. The scene was also in a mess, and the curry rice on the plate was barely eaten, but no food residue was detected in the deceased’s stomach. Q: What did the pangolin say?
Qinghai Chuantang was silent for a moment. Who was the genius who came up with this question?
After thinking about it, she put the card on the table and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.
When some commotion is about to occur, it may be the climax of the story.
"That must be the room, right?"
"According to the instructions on the card, this should be the right place."
"Well, let's go in now and get the clue for the next puzzle!"
"Wait Yuantai, let's knock first--"
Before he could finish his words, Yuantai had already taken action.
When he opened the door, he saw a woman with long black hair sitting on a seat with many snacks on the small table in front of her.
She was holding a matcha stick in her hand, and it seemed that the other party's sudden interruption disrupted her original plan.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Qinghai Chuantang asked with some curiosity.
"Big sister, did you receive a card? The card with some words written on it."
She did receive it.
"Is this it?"
As he spoke, Qinghai Chuantang handed them the cards on the table.
"I don't know who put it in there. There are some incomprehensible words written inside."
The three of them looked at the card, seemingly unable to understand it at all.
"What exactly does this mean?"
Genta handed the card to the boy behind him, "Conan, can you understand what's on it?"
After taking it, Conan looked at it carefully, and went from serious to speechless.
This content is totally irrelevant.
But this card is consistent with the ones they received before, which means that this is indeed the clue given by the mysterious train.
But what does this mean?
What did the pangolin say, and what is its inevitable connection with the puzzle?
Conan stroked his chin in thought, lost in thought.
"If you like this card, just take it. If you stay here all the time and can't find you, your parents will be worried."
Qinghai Chuantang hinted at them subtly.
After all, they are still a group of children, and words that are too explicit might bring disaster.
Many deaths in the Conan world are like this, because of overly harsh words, or being too impatient towards others, they fell into an eternal sleep.
"Okay, thank you, big sister. Goodbye, big sister!"
Ayumi waved at her and smiled.
When he reached the door, he said to someone, "Xiao Ai, let's hurry to the next target point!"
When Ayumi was walking past the door with Huiyuan Ai, Qing Haichuantang's eyes met hers. The other person's eyes revealed surprise and confusion, indicating that he recognized her.
After all, I have met her several times in the organization. Although she was still young at that time, only about three or four years old, she should have some impression of her.
"The big sister next door" should be how Shiho describes herself.
Although Shiho was born into the organization, she did not come into contact with anything related to the organization when she was young.
In order to prevent her from discovering anything, the organization could choose a more secluded place and rent a house there.
However, this does not mean that she can live the life of an ordinary child. After all, she has to be under long-term and close surveillance.
Those eyes were staring at her in the dark.
Perhaps only Qinghai Chuantang, who was not afraid of death at that time, would approach her openly to play games.
Qinghai Chuantang walked out of the door and closed it gently.
After all, eating snacks alone is not enough to fill her stomach.
The mysterious train belonging to the Suzuki Group, I think the food on it should be pretty good.
But I didn't expect to meet Kogoro Mouri in the dining car.
Opposite him sat two women, staring at each other with admiration.
"I never thought that I would meet the famous Maori Kogoro here."
"No, no. I was just invited as a special guest."
Qinghai Chuantang sat in an empty seat on the other side and ordered a balanced bento with thirty varieties.
A very long and slightly tongue-twisting name.
As the name suggests, it is a bento made with thirty different ingredients, including fish, meat and vegetables.
Moreover, it looks very pleasing to the eye and makes people's appetite increase.
Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks, an anxious figure came over and whispered something in Kogoro Mouri's ear.
Kogoro Mori quickly put on a serious face, made an excuse, and left with his daughter.
The corners of Qinghai Chuantang's mouth curved up.
[Seven people fainted in a carriage at the same time, and one of the passengers died]
The carriage can naturally accommodate so many passengers.
But it happened that all seven of them were in the same carriage and fell into a coma at the same time, which seemed a little unbelievable.
If by chance, the people don't actually know each other, then things become even more interesting.
But now, she doesn't want to get involved in this case and arouse unnecessary suspicion.
As long as the person who turns into Haibara Ai can escape this disaster, that will be enough.
The organization is not stupid.
If Gin saw her while surfing the Internet one day, he would realize something even if he had faked his death before.
After all, Gin knows what Haibara Ai looked like when she was a child.
The organization also has her files and information, which are still well preserved.
There is nothing that cannot be found, it’s just that you don’t want to find it.
This is also part of the organization's plan, but many people are kept in the dark. After all, only in this way will it appear more real.
When Qinghai Chuantang returned to his box, he suddenly realized something.
Who could tell her when someone had done something here?
She reached under the table and found something black.
After looking at it for a while, he crushed it with force.
"All passengers, please note that there has been an emergency on board. Please stay in your own compartments and do not move around."
The murder case was called an emergency, which is true, but the latter obviously would not cause much panic.
If you can create panic when you are about to reach the destination, it will be a good choice whether the organization wants to get rid of someone or someone wants to escape in the chaos.
Once encountering any danger, people will instinctively move forward.
If Haibara Ai doesn't want to implicate her companions, she will definitely choose to go to the end independently after taking the medicine.
There is no doubt that she would not want to die as a child.
Qinghai Chuantang tapped the table with his fingers and looked outside, as if hesitating about something.
In the end, she sighed, used illusion to leave the box, and began to actively look for Haibara Ai.
At this moment, Haibara Ai happened to walk out of the room, leaving her alone.
If it was Qinghai Chuantang who made the arrangement, he would definitely tell her: You just need to hold Xiaolan tightly, because if that's the case, Vermouth will definitely not do anything to you.
The child might not agree to this kind of exploitation.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." After spending a long time with that group of people, she also learned the meaning of "justice."
Qinghai Chuantang used illusion to guide her, making her mistakenly believe that she was heading to her desired destination.
Even when Conan passed by her, she didn't feel anything.
The illusion was not lifted until she entered the room.
Huiyuan Ai was shocked. Wasn't she going to the toilet to take medicine? And she clearly remembered the place she had walked to before. But why did she appear here?
She had a mask on her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Qinghai Chuantang was sitting in his seat, and seemed to have heard some noise, so he turned and looked at her.
He showed a puzzled expression: "You seem to be with that group of kids. Are you lost?"
She has been acting all the time since she was a child, and now her acting skills are very natural and there is no doubt about anything.
"Sorry, I may have taken the wrong path by accident."
Although I felt strange, this was not the most important thing at the moment.
If I stay any longer and get discovered, it would be more dangerous.
After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave.
"The broadcast was saying that there was an emergency. Why don't you stay here for a while. When we get to the terminal, I'll take you to meet your friends."
Qinghai Chuantang looked kind and didn't seem to know the seriousness of the matter.
"If I stay here, you will die."
Huihara Ai said softly.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely find these words a little strange.
"Eh? What are you talking about?"
Qinghai Chuantang pretended not to hear clearly, then smiled and said, "I just feel that you look like a girl from my former neighbor's house, so I want to talk to you."
"You may actually be her child, or a relative. After all, I left early and didn't have time to say goodbye to her."
She reached for the door handle, seemingly unmoved by the words.
After all, becoming smaller by taking medicine is such a fantastic thing that few people would believe it if they have never experienced it.
The most important thing, of course, is that we don’t want to implicate innocent people.
But when she turned the doorknob, she suddenly discovered something.
That is, the door handle seems to be broken.
This means that they are now locked in this secret room.
"Oh, is the door handle broken?"
Qinghai Chuantang pretended to be surprised and said, "What a coincidence."
"There's something going on on the train now. Even if we ring the doorbell, no one will come. It seems we have to wait until the train reaches the end and someone finds us."
After saying this, she spread her hands, her face full of helplessness.
So, what did the pangolin say?
