Chapter 1137 The True and False Princess: Appearance (Additional update 23 for the leader Ji Ya)

The conductor glanced at the clock hanging on the platform and prepared to put away the metal pedals for passengers to board the train. At this moment, a small figure suddenly emerged from the platform and rushed straight towards him.

It took the conductor a few seconds to react and hurriedly stopped him: "Little brother, you can't get on, the train is about to leave!"

Conan didn't say a word, he just showed his ring, and the conductor had no choice but to let him get on the train. But while he was finishing his work, he was wondering whose child was running around without an adult watching him.

Without any pause, Conan ran all the way from where he got on the car to Dr. Agasa's car. He wanted to confirm whether Dr. Agasa and Asano Haibara Ai had left here as he suggested.

In a daze, Conan's peripheral vision suddenly caught a figure passing by.

orchid? !

Conan suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the figure. However, there was only an empty corridor in that carriage, the doors of all the rooms were closed, and there was no one there.

Maybe he saw it wrong just now. After all, Xiaolan should stay with Mouri Kogoro now.

When Conan's footsteps gradually faded away, in the box separated from him by only a wooden wall, a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting by the window. There was a smile in her clear eyes. After she looked away from the door, she kept focusing on the laptop screen.

"Are these people related to the organization?" A light circle popped up in the upper right corner of the screen, and then Hiroki's voice sounded again.

The girl shook her head gently: "It doesn't matter."

Hiroki heard this and was puzzled: "Then why did you ask me to investigate them?"

"Because they have stories." The girl smiled, "And stories best reflect human nature. What kind of interesting things do you think this story can prompt them to do?"

Hiroki was silent, feeling a chill.

The girl seemed not to notice Hiroki's abnormality, and said to herself: "Noto Taisei, located in Room A of the eighth carriage, was a former Self-Defense Forces officer, and was a friend of a certain capitalist who died four years ago.

"Murohashi Etsuto has been booking eight-car room B for several years. This year Suzuki Sonoko was forced to change to seven-car room B because Suzuki Sonoko took the back door. The capitalist had sold off precious paintings many times after his death and seemed to be a collector.

"An Dongyu, a painting connoisseur, is located in Room C of the eighth carriage.

"Xiao Hainai and her female worker Sumitomo Hiuka live in room D of the eighth carriage.

"The guest in Room E, the last room in the eight carriages, is thirty-three-year-old Deha Moli." The girl read out their situations one by one, and then added, "All six of them are related to the capitalist who was killed in the fire four years ago. Related, and they are all survivors of that accident.”

Hiroki couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jingguang, is this the story you told?"

The girl, to be precise, Mao Lilan in the disguise of Nobuhiro, calmly closed the laptop: "Don't you think the situation in Car No. 8 is very similar to the Murder on the Orient Express? Because of the causes sown in the past, we reap the consequences of being judged collectively. , very reasonable, but also full of drama.”

Hongshu was confused: "Aren't we here for Xiao Ai today?"

"Yes, it's for her." Nobushige made the final adjustments to his disguise, "But before the main event, we always have some appetizers."

He didn't want to watch a living person die in front of him, even if that person had committed an unforgivable crime.

Besides, who knows how much impact the prisoner's revenge will have on his plan. It would be best to nip it in the bud.

As for how to find the person who wanted to take action on the mysterious train, Nobuhiro decided to go to the eighth carriage to take a look.

He was wearing the same blue sweater and army green pants that Mao Lilan wore when he went out today. Even the backpack he was carrying was the one Mao Lilan had just bought recently.

Nobuhiro didn't want to hide it from Conan, he just wanted to disrupt Belmode's plan.

Before reaching the eighth carriage, a loud conversation suddenly came from the front.

When Nobushige walked in, the two parties he was talking to came into view - the little Kainae sitting in a wheelchair, the female worker who took care of her, and Noto Taisaku, who was carrying a long black bag.

"You still have that thing with you." Xiao Xiajiang lowered her head slightly, making it difficult for people to see the expression on her face.

Noto Taisei subconsciously tightened the strap of the bag and pretended to be calm: "There is no difference between us, right? Otherwise, no one would come here every year."

Xiao Yuxiajiang sneered slightly and signaled Sumitomo Hiuka to push her to the dining car.

As they passed the junction between the eight carriages and the seven carriages, Xiaoyu Xiajiang and Nobushige met head-on.

Xinfan clearly saw that Xiao Xiajiang's face suddenly became much more solemn, with a strong sense of vigilance.

He politely stepped aside and gave the passage to Xiao Xiajiang, who had limited mobility.

Noto Tesawa also noticed Nobushige. He turned around and was about to go back to the room, but was stopped the next second.

"Mr. Noto, you must be the famous kendo player Mr. Noto Tesawa, right?" Nobushige showed an expression of respect at the right time, took a few steps forward, and stopped Noto Tesawa.

Noto Taize had no choice but to turn around and look at him, and smiled awkwardly: "Little girl, you are exaggerating. I'm not a professional player, it's just a personal hobby."

"So, this is the bamboo sword you are carrying on your back, right?" Nobuhiro looked expectant, "Can you let me see it?"

"I……"

Noto Taisei didn't have time to refuse, and his bag fell into Nobushige's hands. Fortunately, this seemingly reckless girl was not reckless. She seemed to know how to protect the bamboo sword. After reading it, she put it back into the bag and handed it back to him.

"What a good sword." Nobuhiro praised.

After hearing these words, Noto Taize's expression softened a lot, and he explained: "I haven't participated in a formal kendo competition for a long time. Although I don't know where you heard my name from, thank you anyway. .”

Nobushige kept smiling and looked at Noto Taisei.

Noto Taize must have really loved kendo, and the only thing that could have made him give up kendo was the fire four years ago.

Suddenly, with the sound of the door opening, Suzuki Sonoko poked her head out of Room B.

"Xiaolan, it's you! I heard your voice in the room!" Suzuki Sonoko came over in surprise and hugged Nobushige's arm affectionately, "Didn't you go to see the client with Uncle Maori? You came here suddenly? And you didn’t go to the box to find me immediately. That’s too much.”

Nobuhiro silently distanced himself from Suzuki Sonoko. After all, he was very different from Mao Lilan in all aspects of body and height. Close contact would most likely make people notice abnormalities.

"Because I met Mr. Noto Tesawa, he is a very powerful kendo player." Nobushige explained to Suzuki Sonoko while returning to the box with her.
