"Five years ago?"

At this time, Mouri Kogoro had not yet found out the relationship between the people in Car No. 8. He only thought that they were "comrades" who had ridden this mysterious train together all year round.

Miss Deha next to her looked startled, "Are you talking about the fire five years ago?"

"Yes..." Anton lowered his head and nodded.

"What kind of fire?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.

At this time, Anton had completely seen through the method of committing the crime, and there was no need to reserve the motive for the crime, so he took the initiative to explain it.

"Actually, all of us are survivors of a villa fire five years ago."

"That villa belongs to a capitalist. The capitalist held a birthday party in the villa that day and invited us to attend."

"My wife and I were at a party that night, but I was the only one who escaped the fire alive."

"Originally I thought it was just an unfortunate accident, but it wasn't until two years ago that I was at an art auction and saw that the painting that was supposed to be burned in the fire was actually being sold."

"I thought it was very strange, so I secretly investigated the person behind the painting, and the name I finally found out turned out to be Murohashi..."

Hearing this, other people in Car No. 8 showed surprised expressions.

Only Qin Zhibo had already guessed that the fire incident five years ago must be the motive, so he was not surprised.

Anton continued to state: "Murohashi stole paintings from the villa, and then in order to cover up his theft, he set fire to the capitalist's collection room."

"Unexpectedly, the fire got bigger and bigger, killing many innocent people..."

"I originally thought that the man, like us, had always wanted to mourn the people who died in the fire incident, so he would take the first-class carriage specially built by the Suzuki consortium for the capitalist every year, so I wanted to persuade him to surrender."

"But when he played the victim in the mystery game and I played the kid waiting to find the clues together with the prisoner, the guy said..."

"Playing the victim made him very excited and gave him a feeling that he was still alive... It also reminded him of the precious memory of being rescued from the fire and finally surviving."

"I didn't expect that man to say those words with a happy face!"

"Obviously even my wife died in the thick smoke..."

Having said this, Anton sobbed and shed two lines of tears.

Qin Zhibo looked at Anton expressionlessly and understood that he should be prepared.

If Murohashi had a good attitude towards confessing and surrendered to the police, he would not have killed anyone.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to kill his enemies with his own hands.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro said seriously: "For the rest, just wait until the train stops and talk to the police."

In order to prevent Anton from escaping or committing suicide, Mouri Kogoro decided to lock him in his compartment and wait for the train to stop before handing him over to the police.

Just as Mouri Kogoro was escorting people to Room C, Sera Masumi ran over from the end of the corridor and brought the identification results of the three little ones.

"Those videos are useless! Those children said..."

Masumi Sera ran over and saw Anton walking into Room C with tears on his face, and instantly realized something.

"Has the murderer been found?"

"yes……"

As soon as Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, the conductor next to him immediately began to flatter him.

"As expected of Mr. Kogoro Mori, the famous detective! What a wonderful reasoning!"

Upon hearing this compliment, Mouri Kogoro, whose vanity was satisfied, immediately scratched his head and laughed: "Haha~ As long as I, Mouri Boro, take action in a case of this level, it will be a piece of cake!"

However, Sera Masumi turned her head meaningfully and looked at Conan who was standing low.

Only this little "magician" could solve the case in such a short period of time...

Conan did not notice Sera's pure eyes, but kept reviewing the reasoning process of the case just now.

Although Mouri Kogoro completed the reasoning under his own prompting, this time even he was dragged along by someone.

The man should really be the first to solve the case...

Conan turned to look at Mr. Noto in Room A, one of the passengers in Car No. 8 standing aside.

Although the passengers in this carriage came to mourn the victims of the fire, they were also fans of reasoning and must have certain reasoning abilities.

But with such outstanding reasoning ability, he is no longer an ordinary reasoning fan.

He was the first to use the elimination method to identify the murderer, and he was also the first to discover that there was something wrong with the paintings carried by the murderer and take the initiative to bring the topic to it.

That seemed to be Mouri Kogoro's own reasoning, but it was actually made under his guidance.

Also, when he planned to help Kogoro Moori to rescue him, this man directly handed him a rope to demonstrate the murderer's technique of opening the door.

There is even an extra iron ring on the broken anti-theft chain. This person can see through it at a glance without entering the scene, and can see from it the manufacturing method of the secret room.

Such terrifying reasoning and observation abilities...

Who is this man?

Conan's eyes were fixed on the man in front of him, and suddenly he saw that the man did not have a train pass ring on his hand.

Although the ring is a pass for boarding the train, it does not belong to the passengers and must be returned to the organizer after getting off the train.

Most people are afraid of losing their rings during the ride, so they choose to wear them on their hands, including their own.

But the man didn't wear the ring.

why is that?

Suddenly, Conan's eyes changed, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

The reason why I don't wear a ring is probably because the size of the ring doesn't fit the thickness of my finger. I'm afraid that others will notice this, so I just don't wear it.

However, before the organizer distributes the rings, it will collect data on the thickness of the passengers’ fingers and then distribute rings of appropriate sizes.

And the size of the "Noto" ring in front of me is not suitable for the thickness of the finger, which can only mean...

The person in front of me is not the real Noto!

Apart from Belmod, there is only that person in the world who has such superb disguise and voice-changing skills!

Thinking of this, Conan quietly came to "Noto"'s feet and spoke quietly with his little hands behind his back.

"Didn't you say you would never look at gems again?"

Qin Zhibo, who was thinking about something, looked down and saw a dwarf with drooped eyelids, looking up at him with helpless eyes.

"Kid, what are you talking about?"

"Stop pretending..."

In order to avoid being discovered by others, Conan turned around and said calmly: "You are not wearing that ring because the thickness of the ring does not fit your finger, right?"

"Didn't I make a good point on the plane before? I will never take action against gems again..."

Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Conan recognized him as Kaitou Kidd.

Forehead……

Sure enough, my performance just now was a bit "smart".

But this is not his fault. After all, Conan's speed in solving the case is a bit slow. Qin Zhibo is afraid that someone will not be able to wait, and Mouri Kogoro suspects himself, so he can only help him speed up.

There are only three paths in front of him right now.

The first is to admit that he is Kaitou Kidd.

However, Conan will definitely go to Kuroba Kaito afterwards and teach his cousin not to stretch out his hands, otherwise he will be caught.

Kuroba Kaito became Kuroba Kaito.

The second is to acknowledge "I am your father" - Qin Zhibo.

However, Conan would definitely ask on the spot why he was disguised like this, and then learn about the hunting plan on the train.

The reason why I chose not to "play" with Conan this time is because Toru Amuro didn't want his undercover identity to be known to more people.

For undercover agents, it is common sense that the fewer people who know the details of the identity card, the safer they will be.

The third is to pretend to be stupid and continue to act like "Noto".

Just when Qin Zhibo was making a decision in his heart, a scream suddenly came from the D room of Car No. 8.

"ah--!"

Mouri Kogoro, who was receiving compliments, heard the sound and hurried to the door of Room D.

Just as he was about to raise his fist and knock on the door, a pair of figures rushed out.

It's the old woman in the wheelchair in Room D, and the sturdy maid accompanying her.

"Hey! What's going on?" Mouri Kogoro asked, grabbing the strong maid's arm.

"Fire!"

"There's a fire in the room!"

Mouri Kogoro turned his head and looked into the room. The thick smoke billowing in the room blocked his view. The smell was very choking, making it impossible to go in and check.
