Chapter 889: Dark Express Train (Mirror)
Car No. 8.
Although they knew the hidden identities of the passengers, it did not seem to be of much help in finding the murderer.
Conan has already identified the murderer, but he has no idea how the murderer entered and exited carriage B, or how he set up the secret room.
In this case, we have to find a way to get into his room and see if there are any clues.
But going directly to him would inevitably arouse suspicion, so Conan came up with a solution.
"By the way, before Mr. Shi Qiao changed rooms, we saw the person who played the role of the criminal who shot and escaped in Room B of Carriage No. 7."
"I guess that man is the murderer who killed Mr. Shi Qiao. Although I didn't see the murderer's appearance, I remember his back when he was running."
"If we could see the backs of those guests running, maybe we could identify who the murderer is."
Kogoro Mouri subconsciously wanted to refuse Conan's proposal.
However, Sera Masumi agreed with a smile: "That sounds reasonable. Even if Conan doesn't recognize it, I can still show the video to the other children and Kamiya-san."
"And I think they would agree if I just take a picture of my running back, right?"
Since even Sera Masumi said so, Mori Kogoro had no choice but to agree.
Faced with Kogoro Mori's repeated request, the passengers were a little impatient but had no choice but to agree.
After all, this may be one of the key clues that determine whether the murderer can be found, and they also want to find the murderer as soon as possible.
As a result, the corridor was soon empty.
Noto Taisaku in Room A, Anton Yu in Room C, Sumitomo Hiruka in Room D, and Izumi in Room E, they have to start from the door of Room B and then run into the corner of the corridor.
Masumi Sera acted as the photographer, using his mobile phone to capture their backs as they ran.
While everyone else's attention was not on him, Conan sneaked into carriage C.
He glanced around the room. There was nothing superfluous here except a huge rectangular package lying across the sofa seat like a blackboard.
"Is this, the fake painting?" Conan thought for a moment and walked over, reached out to open the package, revealing a painting with a golden frame.
Thinking back to what Anton Yu said on the platform - a fake painting with a pure gold frame, Conan felt a little bit of disobedience.
He reached out and touched it, his face changed, and then he pressed hard on the center part of the painting with his fingers - the feeling was very strange, there was a layer, and there was something hard inside!
I felt the edge of the painting and found that it was simply fixed with thumbtacks and could be easily removed.
Conan slowly unrolled the canvas, revealing something hidden in the painting. It turned out to be a mirror! There were three of them, overlapping and hidden in the middle of the painting.
Looking at the three mirrors, Conan's eyes fell on the door. The corners of his mouth curled up in a smug arc, revealing a smile that showed he saw through the truth.
"That's it, I understand."
After putting the painting back in place, Conan carefully opened the door and looked out through the crack.
At this time, it was the turn of Izumi Mari from Room E to run. She finished the course quickly and Masumi Sera successfully took a picture of her back.
Just at this moment, the train entered a tunnel again.
Seeing this, Conan hurriedly came out of the room while the corridor had just darkened and the others' vision had not yet adjusted, and then pretended to have been there all the time, standing calmly behind Sera Masumi.
The corners of Sera Masumi's mouth curled up for a second, then immediately withdrew, turned around and handed the phone to Conan: "Conan, come and take a look, which of them do you think is more like the criminal?"
"Uh..." Conan took the phone and pretended to look at it. After a while, he put the phone down and shook his head in confusion, "Sorry, I can't see it."
A cross appeared on Kogoro Maori's forehead - we put so much effort into it, and now you tell me you can't see it?
Seeing the iron fist about to fall on his head, Conan quickly hid behind Sera Masumi, poked his head out and shouted: "If I show it to Brother Yuya, he will definitely recognize it!"
Sera Masumi pretended to be surprised and took a step forward inconspicuously, just in time to block Maori Kogoro: "That makes sense, I'll go show the video to Kamiya-san!"
As he said that, he ran towards carriage number 6.
After being blocked for a moment, Kogoro Mouri snorted, and was too embarrassed to go over and hit Conan, so he had to cross his arms and wait for Masumi Sera to come back.
Conan then turned his gaze to carriage B.
···
Masumi Sera walked at a steady pace, thinking about the case as he walked.
After passing Room C of carriage No. 7, the door suddenly opened a crack, revealing half of Amuro Toru's face.
He took out two mobile phones, sent a message to each, and then closed the door silently.
A dull sound of footsteps was heard at the front of carriage No. 6.
A man wearing a knitted hat, with his hands in his pockets and his head slightly lowered, walked slowly towards the end of the carriage. When he passed carriage E, the toilet next door suddenly opened.
Yuya came out holding a thermos cup, and saw the man in a flash. The two looked at each other - and the next second they looked away as if they were strangers, and walked straight towards the D compartment.
Just as the two passed each other, Youya opened and closed his mouth and suddenly said a few words.
The man in the knitted hat suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously turned around to look at Youya.
But Youya just gave him the back of his head, as if he had not said anything just now, and directly opened the door of Room D and walked in.
The man in the knitted hat stared at the closed door.
"who are you?!"
Suddenly, a questioning voice sounded.
The man in the knitted hat turned around and saw Sera Masumi looking at him with a gloomy expression.
The man in the knitted hat did not answer. He lowered his head to cover his face with the brim of his hat and took a step forward to move forward.
Seeing this, Shira Masumi immediately became angry, stepped forward to block the man, and shouted angrily: "I'm asking you, who are you?!"
"Humph," the man in the knitted hat chuckled, raised his chin, revealing a burned face, and then said in a magnetic voice, "You are still the same as before, Zhenchun."
"Huh?" Sera Masumi was stunned, with the expression on his face showing three parts of shock, three parts of doubt, three parts of confusion and one part of surprise.
She said blankly: "Brother Xiu..."
"Woooooo~"
Accompanied by a flash of light, the train drove out of the tunnel.
Sera Masumi narrowed her eyes, and after getting used to the sudden light, she looked at the person in front of her again.
Although there were obvious burn marks on the face under the raised brim of the hat, Sera Masumi could see clearly that it was his brother whom he had not seen for many years - Akai Shuichi!
"Brother Xiu, are you really Brother Xiu?" Sera Masumi asked stupidly.
Akai Shuichi did not answer, but looked at her expressionlessly.
Masumi Sera stepped forward and grabbed Akai Shuichi's clothes, and asked anxiously: "Why, Xiu brother, aren't you dead? Why are you here?"
Akai Shuichi slowly spoke: "I am here, of course, for..."
With a "sizzle" sound, a flash of lightning passed by, and Sera Masumi's body softened and fell down. Akai Shuichi reached out and held her in his arms.
Looking at the unconscious Sera Masumi, Akai Shuichi raised a cold smile: "...I hear you say this."
Shuichi Akai took out his cell phone, edited a message and sent it out - the obstacle has been removed, and now he can proceed according to the plan.
Inside car D.
Mao Lilan looked towards the door with some confusion: "Hey, did I hear Sera's voice just now?"
Yuya pretended to listen for a while, then blinked at Mao Lilan: "No, did you hear it wrong?"
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in realization: "Maybe I heard it wrong."
"Where did Mio go?" Youya looked around the car and found that one person was missing.
Mao Lilan said puzzledly: "Mio-chan said she went to the bathroom, didn't you see her?"
Youye scratched his head and said, "Maybe we just missed each other. I'll go back and find her." After saying that, he opened the door and went out.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the door and said suspiciously, "Why does it feel weird?"
Mao Lilan quickly said: "No, it's your illusion! Let's continue playing games!"
