Chapter 880: Dark Express Train (Platform)
Of course, the "we" that Suzuki Sonoko mentioned does not refer to everyone, but to her and the Mori father and daughter.
Originally, Yu was going to be taken to car No. 8 by Suzuki Sonoko, but Yu didn't want to be separated from Miyano Shiho, so he went to the ordinary car with Miyano Shiho and the little kids from the Junior Detective League.
Originally, the first-class carriage had been booked early in the morning, but under the constant persuasion of Suzuki Sonoko, Suzuki Jirokichi, who loved his niece very much, had to use some privileges to move the unlucky guy to another carriage.
Of course, Suzuki Sonoko didn't have to sit in the first-class carriage. There was only one reason why she was so persistent this time, and that was for someone.
Suzuki Sonoko excitedly said to Mao Lilan: "This time when the train departed, Uncle Jiroji specially displayed the noble ruby in the first-class carriage of the train, just to attract Mr. Kidd to show up!"
"I will take advantage of this opportunity and sneakily put my confession letter of endless love to Mr. Kidd together with the gem, so that Mr. Kidd can see my letter first!"
"Xiaolan, what do you think of my plan?"
Unlike the excited Suzuki Sonoko, Mouri Ran looked at her best friend speechlessly and helplessly.
"What do you mean... Have you forgotten that Kidd has been tricked by you so many times? Will he really read the letter you wrote? And if you do this, aren't you afraid that Mr. Kyogoku will be angry?"
Suzuki Sonoko didn't care at all and explained with a smile: "My love for Kidd-sama is different from my love for Zhen!"
To Kidd-sama, she is just an idol. But Jin is...
Suzuki Sonoko shook her head to get rid of the embarrassing thought, then turned to look at Yuya expectantly: "Yuya, you have to help me this time too!"
Yuya showed a speechless expression and nodded helplessly.
If Kidd were here, he would probably shout - You two have teamed up to cheat me so many times, please let me go!
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind Mao Lilan and others.
"For me, I am more interested in the mystery puzzles that are always carried out on the train than that thief~"
When Mao Lilan and others turned around, they found that it was Sera Masumi.
Suzuki Sonoko asked in surprise: "Sera-san, why are you here?"
Sera Masumi replied as a matter of course: "I'm a detective. I heard that there are some great mystery activities on this train, so of course I will take this train, don't you think Kamiya-san?"
Yuya raised his eyebrows in surprise. Hasn't this guy always been interested in Conan? Why did he go out of his way to talk to him today?
Out of politeness, he replied, "You mean the reasoning activity in which after the train departs, the criminal and the victim will be randomly selected from the passengers, and the other guests will play the role of detectives and find the criminal before the train reaches the destination, right?"
Sera Masumi nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Kamiya-san is indeed the one who knows everything!"
Youye smiled faintly, he also saw the information on the Internet.
The reasoning activities of the Suzuki Express are a must-have program for every drive. There is very detailed information on the Internet, including reasoning puzzles from previous years and the corresponding answers.
Masumi Sera looked around and said, "Come to think of it, isn't Detective Mori here?" She pretended to be looking for Kogoro Mori, but in fact she was secretly looking at Shiho Miyano.
This person is the one my mother asked me to investigate, and the antidote might have been made by her.
But it's not easy to do. She is Kamiya's lover. If I investigate her myself, I will be discovered if I'm not careful. I have to think carefully before doing it.
Mao Lilan turned around and found that her old father had disappeared without a trace. She showed a confused expression: "Strange, he was here just now?"
Youya looked around and found that there were quite a few people in the station today. Passengers kept entering the station and getting on the train. I guess Uncle Kogoro saw a beautiful girl again and secretly ran over to chat with her?
At the door of the carriage, the conductor who was in charge of receiving passengers extended his hand enthusiastically to the passenger in front of him: "Isn't this Mr. Anton? Long time no see, do you want me to help you with your luggage?"
Apparently, this bespectacled man with a mustache is a frequent passenger on the train; even the conductor knows him.
But the man did not hand over his luggage.
He explained that this was an important item given to him by the client.
The conductor nodded in understanding. Since it belonged to the client, it would not be easy to give it to other people.
The man smiled and said, "It's called a painting, but it's actually a fake. I've already authenticated it and will return it to the client after the train arrives in Nagoya."
Hearing this, the conductor was stunned: "Strange, the final destination of this train is clearly not announced, how do you know it?"
Just as Anton was about to explain, a man and a woman with beards and gold jewelry walked over.
The bearded man said, "Mr. Conductor, you have known us for many years. You can find out about this with just a simple investigation, right? Don't you agree, Miss Izumi?"
The woman wearing gold jewelry, who was called Izumi, smiled and continued, "That's right."
"Is that so?" The conductor was embarrassed.
Just then, a middle-aged woman with a slightly stout build came over from the other side, pushing a wheelchair.
The old lady in the wheelchair wore a purple round hat with a black tulle hanging from the brim. She spoke slowly, "The only thing that can arouse our curiosity and interest is the reasoning puzzles held in the car. Isn't that right, Ms. Sumitomo?"
The middle-aged woman called Sumitomo looked a little aloof and said expressionlessly, "Yes, ma'am."
From what she said, it seemed like she was the old lady's maid? But judging by her figure, maybe she was also a bodyguard?
The conductor smiled helplessly, thinking he could keep the question a secret, but he didn't expect that the other party knew the answer right from the start. He could only admire and say, "You are really keen on reasoning!"
At this time, a fat man came running over.
As soon as he got on the train, he loudly asked the conductor: "Hey! What's going on? I clearly reserved the No. 8 car, so why did it become No. 7?"
The conductor quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry. Regarding this matter, it's just like what I told you a few days ago. Due to an unknown system malfunction, there was a duplicate reservation. Since you made the reservation later, I can only change you to carriage number seven..."
The man got even angrier after hearing this: "Damn it! I've always liked that room, so I always book it as soon as it's open for reservations every year. Who on earth took my spot?"
The conductor narrowed his eyes and smiled, not daring to tell the real reason.
That's because the room was taken by the train owner, Suzuki Jirokichi, and given to his niece.
No matter how fast your hands are, can you grab the train's owner faster than him?
Anyway, you can't see the system background, so how can it be said that it is not our freedom?
