Chapter 211: Still as gullible as ever
"Really? Why did Conan take so long to go to the bathroom? Dad, I'll go find him."
In carriage number two, Ran Mouri, who noticed that Conan had not returned for a long time, became a little anxious. She got up from her seat and walked towards carriage number three next to it.
"Huh? Oh, okay..."
Kogoro Mouri replied absentmindedly, then turned around and continued happily chatting with Shimizu Akiko beside him.
"Haha! That was the situation at that time, and the murderer..."
"As expected of you, Mr. Maori. So that's what you were thinking at the time..."
While dealing with Kogoro Mouri, Akiko Shimizu glanced at Ran Mouri who had already left the carriage, raised her hand and took out two cans of coffee from the handbag beside her, and handed one of them to Kogoro Mouri.
"Mr. Maori, if you're thirsty, would you like something to drink?"
"Ah? How can I feel so embarrassed..." Faced with the beautiful woman's invitation, Kogoro Mouri did not immediately reach out to accept it.
Although he did like beautiful women, even he would feel embarrassed to take other people's things for no reason.
"That's it..."
The expression on Shimizu Akiko's face suddenly became gloomy. She smiled helplessly and silently retracted her outstretched hand.
"I thought you would like it, but it turns out that Mr. Maori hates coffee? Sorry, I wasted my time. You don't have to mind it..."
This knife was a critical hit.
"That's not the case! I love drinking coffee the most!"
His heart suddenly ached, and Kogoro Maori quickly took the can of coffee from Shimizu Akiko's hand, pulled the pull ring, tilted his head back and gulped it down.
After drinking, he gave Shimizu Akiko a very satisfied smile.
"It tastes really good, Ms. Shimizu!"
"As long as you like it." Akiko Shimizu replied with a smile on her face.
"Oh, yes, the case we were talking about just now..."
Not noticing anything unusual, Kogoro Mouri continued to talk about his previous brilliant reasoning.
However, this time, only half a minute had passed before he suddenly felt a little dizzy.
"Strange, why do I... seem a little sleepy?"
Subconsciously raising his hand to touch his forehead, Kogoro Maori felt his eyelids were extremely heavy and his thinking became sluggish.
The effect of the drug came on very quickly. Before he realized what was happening, his eyes rolled back, he fell backwards, and fainted in the seat.
"You are as gullible as ever, great detective..."
Beside her, Akiko Shimizu opened another can of coffee in her hand and took a sip.
"Well, then, the only thing left is the child..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Ran Mouri holding Conan's hand and returning to the carriage.
"Really, Conan, you can't cause trouble for Officer Takagi anymore, got it?"
"Yes, yes, I get it, Sister Xiaolan..." Conan responded helplessly.
What do you mean by causing trouble? He is doing a big favor, okay?
"Eh? Dad..."
When she walked to her seat, Maori Ran noticed that Maori Kogoro had fallen asleep.
"Mr. Maori just said that he was a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap first." Shimizu Akiko replied at the right time.
"Really..."
Mao Lilan glared at her father with a headache, sighed softly, and said to Shimizu Akiko apologetically:
"I'm sorry Miss Shimizu, Dad has caused you trouble."
"No, Mr. Maori is a very interesting person."
"Thank you for your understanding."
After a brief exchange, the two didn't say anything else. Ran Mouri and Conan sat back in their seats, and the moving train carriage became quiet for a while.
However, this train journey was destined to be extraordinary.
It was quiet for only a short while before another passenger walked into the carriage.
Looking at this passenger, Conan's pupils contracted.
[It's him?! ]
The person who came in was the tall black man who had been following Freya and was suspected to be a bodyguard. He walked into carriage No. 2 with an expressionless face, and then went straight to carriage No. 1 opposite.
【What was he doing in Car No. 1? 】
Looking at the black man, Conan looked puzzled.
If he wanted to go to the toilet, there was one at the connection between carriages 2 and 3. There should be no need for him to run to carriage 1, right?
Just when Conan was hesitating whether to follow, another person came into the carriage. It was Takagi Wataru.
"Officer Takagi?"
"Shh!"
As he walked past Mao Li Ran and the others, Takagi Shigeru made a hushing gesture, then followed the black man and quickly walked towards carriage number one.
[Yeah, I almost forgot about Officer Takagi...]
The two men left one after another, and not long after, the black man was seen returning from carriage No. 1, walking through carriage No. 2, and returning to carriage No. 3 where he was originally.
Behind him, Takagi Shigeru also tiptoed back to carriage No. 3.
"I always feel that Officer Takagi's behavior is a little strange..." Ran Mouri, who was watching the whole scene, couldn't help but complain.
"Haha, he should be on a mission..." Conan was also a little helpless.
I'm following you, but could you please not be so obvious, Officer Takagi...
Conan couldn't help but doubt again, is it really okay for him to not help?
No, he still has to go and see...
Thinking of this, Conan looked up at Mao Lilan beside him.
"Hey, Sister Xiaolan, I..."
"No."
Before he could finish, Mao Lilan directly refused.
"Eh? Well, I..."
"I said no."
Glancing at Conan, Mao Lilan added calmly: "Don't cause trouble for Officer Takagi, understand?"
"I, I just want to go to the bathroom..." Conan replied embarrassedly.
"Huh?!" Mao Lilan turned her head and glared at him.
"Yes..." Conan lowered his head.
The car fell silent again. Akiko Shimizu looked down at the time on her cell phone, put down the coffee can in her hand, and put the laptop on her lap back into her bag.
"It's almost time. If you're any later you won't be able to catch up..."
She muttered something in a low voice, and before she finished her words, Takagi Wataru, who was originally in carriage number three, suddenly ran over.
"Detective Maori! Something happened! Someone was murdered in the restroom of carriage number three!"
【What? ! 】
Conan was startled and jumped up from his seat and ran towards carriage number three.
"Wait, Conan!"
Worried about him, Mori Ran also quickly got up and followed. Behind the two of them, Mori Kogoro was still leaning back in his seat and sleeping. Takagi Wataru's shouting just now didn't seem to wake him up.
Akiko Shimizu also stood up, walked around Kogoro Mori, and slowly walked towards carriage number three.
Try hard and see if it can be stable in the future
Chapter 212 Freya is dead?
When Conan arrived at the restroom at the connection between carriages 2 and 3, he saw two people standing in front of the restroom door.
One of the men was older and in uniform, and it was obvious that he was the conductor of this train.
The other person was a woman who was dressed casually, wearing a mask, and her hair was all tied up in a baseball cap on her head, giving people a capable impression.
"Conan!"
Hearing the noise behind her, the woman looked back and her eyes first swept over Conan and Mouri Ran, and finally stopped on Takagi Wataru.
"Are you a policeman?" She looked at Takagi Shigeru and asked.
"Yes."
Nodding, Takagi Wataru walked forward, took out his police ID, and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"A detective who happened to be passing by."
[He is a Caucasian.]
Although the woman was wearing a mask, Conan was able to tell that the female detective was white from her eyes and golden hair, which were different from those of Asians.
"I was originally resting in carriage number five, and the conductor brought me here after hearing the news. Officer Takagi, you were the first person to discover the scene, right? Can you tell me about the situation at the time?"
The female detective seemed to be in a hurry to solve the case. She simply explained the reason why she was there and then directly asked about the situation at that time.
As she said this, she reached out and opened the bathroom door. Seeing this, Conan quickly leaned forward to take a look.
【How could it be her? 】
On the toilet in the bathroom, a woman was sitting against the wall, holding a small pistol in her hand. Blood was slowly flowing from her temple down her cheek. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was definitely dead.
