Chapter 150: Reversal of the Express, the Silver Star on the road to destruction (1)
—————May 3rd, 10:03 pm——————
—————Silver Star train, entrance to the third carriage——————
"Oh, really, why is the first departure time scheduled at 10 pm?"
"How can a normal train depart at this time? How strange."
Xiang Yuanguang said somewhat listlessly, for the hedgehog-headed guy.
Although getting in the car didn't take much effort, the night was enough to make him feel listless.
"Hey, Xiang Yuan, I think you don't understand at all."
Arita Ryosuke seemed to be in high spirits, not affected at all by the night time.
He pulled the flyer for the Silver Star's first run from his small bag and unfolded it.
"You see, the first run of the Silver Star train means Sunrise Trip."
"It takes about nine hours to drive from Tokyo to Shikoku, so if we leave at ten..."
“We can enjoy the beautiful sunrise while arriving at the final stop, Shikoku Station.”
A strange voice sounded beside the two of them, instantly scaring Arita Ryosuke.
The hedgehog-haired guy was also quite speechless as he looked at this young man in a flight attendant uniform who appeared out of nowhere.
"Please, Mr. Flight Attendant, could you not show up so suddenly?"
"Even though it doesn't scare me, it wouldn't be a good idea to scare other people."
The young flight attendant touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said apologetically.
"Sorry, sorry, I just heard this gentleman talking about the purpose of this opening, and I subconsciously interrupted him."
"Please forget this unpleasant moment during the rest of your journey."
"As the crew member of this Silver Star train, Rick."
"I can assure you that the sunrise at Shikoku Station will be absolutely brilliant and glorious!"
What sunrise can be so bright and brilliant? You are not trying to tell me that it is the light of an explosion.
Xiang Yuanguang's eyes became suspicious.
He remembered that Conan was also going to be a passenger on this train, so, according to the laws of science.
Any tall buildings that Conan has touched will probably be blown up, and any trains that he has ridden will probably be blown up as well.
This so-called dream train, the Silver Star, wouldn't explode with a loud bang in the middle of the journey.
(Oops, I feel like I'm on a pirate ship.)
(The train has already departed. Is it too late for me to ask to get off now?)
Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin thoughtfully.
However, Arita Ryosuke had no idea what the hedgehog-headed wizard next to him was thinking.
He raised his hand and asked seriously.
"Okay, okay, please take us to see where our seats are."
"It would take a lot of energy to squeeze through the crowd."
Flight attendant Rick nodded and turned around without thinking.
Then, he pushed open the door next to him and led the way to the passage next to him.
The moment Hedgehog Head walked into the passage, he subconsciously opened his eyes wide.
I originally thought that the seats were just for lying down, but I didn’t expect that they were actually small rooms?
The doors of the rooms next to us all have house numbers written on them. They don't look like seats on a train, but more like small rooms in a hotel.
"You shouldn't be surprised. Although the Silver Star has a retro look, the interior is different."
“It’s not like a normal train with just seats.”
Flight attendant Rick seemed to notice Xiang Yuanguang's surprise, and he explained with a smile.
Then, he picked up Arita Ryosuke's ticket, took a look at it, and led the two of them to a small room.
Crunch——————
When the door of the room was opened, there were two benches facing each other connected to the walls of the room, and next to them was a retractable table that could be pulled out and retracted into the wall. It was obvious that no one was planning to sleep here.
However, according to the crew member Rick, this trip is for watching the sunrise, so there is no need to prepare sleeping rooms, only normal sitting and standing space is needed.
"These are the seats you and this gentleman will take on this Silver Star train."
"If you need anything, you can contact me at any time..."
Suddenly a familiar voice came from the corner.
When I stuck my head out towards Genkou, I immediately saw Officer Sato and Officer Takagi talking by the window.
And, Officer Takagi seemed to have failed in his attempt to strike up a conversation, and walked over here with his head down. "Oh, really... I feel like the way Inspector Megure taught me to strike up a conversation is totally useless..."
Takagi Wataru walked towards his room dejectedly.
When he thought that this opportunity was created for him by Inspector Megure, he immediately felt like crying.
Damn it, how can I woo a girl?
A hand reached out from the next room and grabbed Officer Takagi by the back of his collar.
Originally, Takagi Shigeru was leaning forward, but after being pulled by this hand, he stood at attention.
Can't move forward at all.
"So you are also on the Silver Star train. What a coincidence."
"Are you here on the train for vacation with Ms. Sato this time?"
The hedgehog-haired boy was gossiping about Officer Takagi with a grin on his face.
When he heard Xiang Yuanguang's voice, Takagi Wataru was startled.
He turned around and looked around, and at a glance he saw Mukai Genkou, Arita Ryosuke, and the flight attendant Rick next to them.
Officer Takagi swallowed immediately and spoke in disbelief.
"Master Xiang, Master Xiang Yuan, why are you also on the Silver Star train?"
"According to past practice, if you were on the train, wouldn't I have to work overtime?"
"...?"
What do you mean you have to work overtime just because I'm on the train? I'm not a death god elementary school student.
Shouldn’t it be said that Uncle Maori and Conan are on the train, so are you going to work overtime again?
Xiang Yuanguang was very upset, but then he remembered that Officer Takagi might not even know about this, so he felt relieved.
Forget it, ignorance is not a crime, that’s how it is.
He glanced at Officer Sato outside and said curiously.
"Don't you know that Inspector Megure is pursued by a girl?"
Detective Takagi suddenly realized that this was the case.
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan actually knows all this, so you must also know how to pursue girls?"
"..."
I'm thinking, I'm kindly telling you that Inspector Megure's method won't work, why are you poking my nose in the guts?
He waved to Yuan Guang, sat back in his seat, and was alone and gloomy.
Seeing this scene, Takagi Wataru reacted, touched the back of his head, and smiled embarrassedly.
Ah, this, he had forgotten that Lawyer Xiang Yuan was almost always alone when he appeared at the crime scene.
I guess he can’t chase girls just like him, no wonder he is a wind magician.
Rick, the flight attendant who had been listening to the conversation nearby, finally spoke at this time.
There was visible surprise on his face.
"My dear passenger, do you mean to say that this gentleman is the famous lawyer in Tokyo... Xiang Yuanguang?"
call out.
He raised his head to Yuan Guang, somewhat confused.
How come Yusaku Kudo, a local who just returned to China, has never heard of me?
How come you, a foreigner working here, have heard of my name?
"Yes, I am. What's wrong?"
Flight attendant Rick shook his head, smiled and left, saying something before leaving.
"The master of the family respects lawyers like you who speak out for justice."
"If you need anything, you can always come to me and I will provide the best help I can."
"Then I will withdraw first."
Looking at the flight attendant's figure disappearing around the corner, Takagi Wataru's eyes revealed some confusion.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that these flight attendants seemed to have received some training.
Looks like he graduated from a police academy or a military school... um, maybe it's an illusion?
Without saying much, Takagi Shigeru turned around and said goodbye. He was going back to his room to rethink his next strategy.
