In a certain compartment of Car No. 5, Sera Masumi stared blankly at the stranger riding with her in front of her.

The other person wears a pair of round-framed glasses, has a gentle temperament, and has long black hair hanging behind his back.

This woman...

Apart from her hair color, she looks very similar to Elena?

Masumi Sera once saw "Elena" in Mary's mouth in that abandoned manor in England, so she still remembered Elena's appearance at that time.

"Um...did I get something on my face?"

the woman asked timidly.

Shiliang quickly shook his head, smiled and scratched his head, "I'm sorry, you look a bit similar to someone I know, so I was a little confused..."

"Oh...really?"

Opposite me, Rumi Wakasa tilted her head slightly toward the window, with only one lens of her round glasses reflecting light.

Seriang also retracted his thoughts and sat on the long row of seats opposite the woman, waiting for the train to leave.

While waiting, Seriang couldn't help but think.

Why didn’t Qin Zhibo go with everyone?

She originally thought that after Keito Hotta was killed two days ago, Qin Zhibo would definitely come to Haibara Ai, who had been in the organization, to ask for information about the murderer.

And this trip is a perfect opportunity to ask questions.

But Qin Zhibo did not come with these people.

Could it be that the inquiry has been made within the past two days?

…

beep--

As the staff on the platform outside the window blew whistles and waved flags, the Suzuki Express train made a dull sound of mechanical transmission.

After a few seconds, the train started slowly.

The three little ones were lying by the window, looking at the scenery gradually moving away from the window, and they were inexplicably excited.

"The train has started!"

"Leaving the station!"

"It's great! The station and the scenery are flying backwards!"

"I heard this train won't stop until it reaches the terminal!"

The three little ones were chattering and discussing, and Dr. Ali, who was sitting aside, also joined the discussion.

"But so far, where the terminal is is still a mystery."

"That's Nagoya."

Conan put his hands in his pockets and reasoned calmly: "As long as you check today's train timetable on the Internet, you can deduce the terminal station of this train..."

Dr. A Li looked at Conan who was standing low and complained in his heart silently.

Even if you talk about Xiao Ai, don’t you just say things that destroy other people’s dreams?

However, Conan did not notice Dr. Agasa's little thoughts and continued: "What concerns me more is what kind of reasoning puzzles this train will present while it is traveling."

"Ah, I thought you would say that Kaitou Kidd is the one you care about the most..." Haibara Ai, who was standing next to him, crossed his arms and said something neutral.

"Oh……"

Conan grinned slightly and thought to himself: Why should I care about someone who I can meet anytime I want?

Conan has not told anyone else about his background with the Kuroba family and his blood relationship with Kaitou Kidd.

After all, this kind of thing is so shocking. If Kudo Yusaku hadn't admitted it himself, even if Kuroba Kaito came over with proof of blood relationship and said he was his cousin, he would never have believed it.

But during this time, he also made some insidious inquiries about Dr. Ali.

Although Dr. Agasa is an old acquaintance with Kudo Yusaku, he doesn’t know much about Kudo Yusaku’s family situation.

When he was young, Dr. Ari once knew Kudo Yusaku's mother, who was Conan's grandmother.

Dr. Ari bought a house next door to Kudo's house, and received a warm invitation from Grandma Conan.

This situation shocked Conan.

Because he has never seen his grandfather or grandmother since he can remember. His parents and himself are all family members.

Yes.

There are no seven aunts or eight aunts in Conan's family, not even a photo.

The young Conan once asked Kudo Yusaku why there were no other relatives in his family.

Kudo Yusaku just said that they separated a long time ago and they were far apart, so they stopped interacting with each other for a long time.

It is indeed true that Conan and Kuroba Kaito's lineage have never interacted before.

If it hadn't been for this London incident, it would have been possible for two people to fight each other on the street because they had the wrong girlfriend.

According to Dr. Ali, Grandma Kudo is a very gentle woman, a typical good wife and mother.

What’s even more rare is that Grandma Kudo is a scientist, focusing on the field of biology.

But unlike Dr. Agasa, a wild inventor, Grandma Kudo is a researcher with a serious unit.

The two met at a certain foreign science conference. At that time, Dr. Ali was participating in such an event for the first time and was a newborn calf.

At that time, Grandma Kudo was already an industry giant who could give speeches on stage.

Since both of them are Japanese, they had a good conversation when they first met.

But ever since Dr. Ari and Grandma Kudo met, Grandma Kudo has been living alone with her children.

So Dr. Agasa has never met Conan's grandfather.

This is quite similar to what Kudo Yusaku said.

When my grandparents divorced, my grandfather took away the Black Feather lineage, and my own lineage was taken away by my grandmother.

What I have inherited now is actually my grandma’s surname.

If I were not divorced, I should be called...

Kuroba Shinichi?

Um, that's a bit hard to pronounce.

While several people in the car were passing the time, there was a knock on the door.

Tuk tuk…

Everyone in the room turned their heads and looked in the direction of the car door.

"What's the matter?"

As the only adult in the car, Dr. Ali stood up, walked to the door, and pushed it open.

But several pairs of eyes looked at the door, but there was no one at the door.

"Eh?"

Dr. A Li was confused and stretched his head to look to the left and right sides of the corridor. There was not even a single figure in the corridor.

"There's no one there..."

At this time, Conan stepped forward with his hands in his pockets, and still relied on his advantage of perspective to find a letter on the ground at the door.

Conan took the letter back to his room and opened it in front of everyone.

"Congratulations on being selected to play the role of detective. In 10 minutes, an incident will occur in Room B of Car No. 7, and the search must be carried out with all efforts..."

The signature on the lower right corner of the letter is "Bell Tree Express", which is the English name for the Suzuki express train.

Haihara Ai looked at the contents of the letter and analyzed: "This should be the reasoning activity on the train."

"I heard on the Internet that the method of reasoning is to randomly select the person who plays the prisoner and the person who plays the victim from among the passengers..."

"When the incident occurs, all other passengers will automatically act as detectives. As long as the culprit is found before the train reaches the destination, it will be considered a victory."

"oh?"

When Conan next to him heard this, he was a little surprised that Haihara Ai was so concerned about this kind of thing and even collected information on the Internet in advance.

Of course, it was not that he was not interested in this matter, but that he felt that searching for information in advance was a bit cheating.

And also lost some of the freshness of facing it for the first time.

After all, this time it is a large-scale scenario play + reasoning game, and I can finally do the reasoning easily and happily.

"But it seems like this letter was only given to us~"

Ayumi pointed to the content on the letter, "Does the organizer already know that we are a juvenile detective team?"

When Yuantai heard this, he immediately nodded with satisfaction, "Yes! It must be like this!"
