Click, click....click, click... A large amount of coal was filled into the furnace and burned fiercely. Soon, the water in the boiler was boiled and a huge amount of steam gushed out, pushing the piston. The train shook and began to move slowly.
Box 8—c.
The old woman wearing a black veil was pushed into the carriage in a wheelchair by the servant. After entering the room, the old woman actually stood up, sat by the window, took out a box of Seven Star cigarettes from her arms, took out a cigarette and lit it.
The square-faced maid who pushed her in had two eyes the size of green beans and her eyebrows were as stubbled as Zhang Fei. She was not surprised at all when she saw the old woman's actions, but joined her in smoking a cigarette.
"What are you doing?"
The old woman frowned when she saw the maid's actions:
"Mouri Kogoro is in the 8-b box next door, hurry up and get to work!"
"oh...."
The square-faced maid, whose jaw was wider than her forehead, stubbed out her cigarette sullenly, bent down and took out a package from under the wheelchair, which contained a complete set of eavesdropping tools.
After installing the power supply, the maid attached the bug to the wooden wall and analyzed the sound source through vibration to eavesdrop on the conversation next door.
"Mr. Kyogoku's body is really strong! What do you think, Masumi?"
"What's the use of just having big muscles? Skill and speed are what matter most!"
"Do you really want to eat an orange? Open your mouth, ah~~~"
A slightly noisy female voice came from the loudspeaker. The maid kept adjusting the equipment. Slowly, the sound became clearer and its source could be identified.
"This voice seems to be Suzuki Sonoko...The one who just spoke seems to be Mao Lilan..."
The maid eavesdropped and analyzed:
"Brother, Maori Kogoro probably doesn't know Akai Tsutomu. The box next door is Suzuki Sonoko's VIP room. There is a high probability that no one else will sneak into their group."
"It's always better to be careful."
The old woman exhaled a puff of thick white smoke and looked out at the green fields in the distance:
"Normally, the organization has records of people who often appear around Maori Kogoro. Don't worry about Suzuki Sonoko, Maori Ran, and that tomboy. Akai Wuwu is not that short or thin, unless his legs are sawed off..."
"The one whose identity is still unclear is the dark-skinned kid who appeared in the back. He is about the same height as Akai Tsutomu, so he is a big suspect."
"He..."
The maid said in a rough voice:
"I've checked his information. His name is Kyogoku Makoto. His father is the captain of the SAT Special Assault Team. He's the All-Japan Karate Champion. He's quite impressive. He's Suzuki Sonoko's boyfriend."
Given the nature of the Black Organization, they would definitely investigate the information around the target before taking action. The core point of this train is Mouri Kogoro, and Bourbon and Sakaki Makoto are following him. In Gin's eyes, it is entirely possible that Akai Tsumugi could disguise himself as someone else and blend into Mouri Kogoro's team. In this way... wouldn't Akai Tsumugi be able to monitor Bourbon and Sakaki Makoto secretly?
Therefore, you must be highly alert to strangers who suddenly appear next to Kogoro Mori, such as Kyogoku Makoto who has just returned to Japan.
"Which box are Vermouth and the others in?"
"Vermouth is at 8-a, Rum is at 8-d, Curacao is at 8-e, and Suze is at 8-f."
The maid Vodka took out her cell phone, looked at the room allocation, and said with a smile:
"Brother, we killed those detectives who were going to take the mysterious train, replaced their identities, and surrounded the 8-b group where Maori Kogoro was. If Akai Mutake dares to show up, he will be dead!"
Gin, who was dressed as an old woman, didn't say anything. He just held a cigarette in his mouth and looked out the window quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
They really set a dragnet.
Bourbon and Makoto Sakaki both got on the car and lay in ambush around. To be on the safe side, Gin also arranged Bourbon in car No. 9, Chianti and Cohen in car No. 7, and they were responsible for observing the situation outside car No. 8 to avoid being surrounded without knowing it.
But somehow... Gin is always worried, as if there is a circle of coldness lingering around his neck, and he feels that danger is around him.
Amaranth
Boom boom boom!
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Vodka and Gin stood up at the same time, took out pistols from their arms, and were extremely alert.
The tacit understanding cultivated over the years meant that they didn't need to talk at all. With just a glance, Vodka stood up, walked to the door with the gun in his hand, held the gun against the door with his right hand, held the door handle with his left hand, and turned it to open the door.
Creak... There was no one outside the door. Outside the smooth and transparent glass was a green mountain range. On the red carpet outside the door, there was a red-painted letter.
Leaning his head to look at both sides, Vodka discovered that it was not just him. In front of the door of each of the other boxes, there was a letter. Vermouth, Rum, Sakaki Makoto, Curacao, and Maori Ran all had a confused expression... Wait a minute, it seems that some strange Astro Boy has sneaked in, but it doesn't matter.
"Brother, someone sent a letter."
After closing the door, Vodka put away the pistol and handed the envelope to Gin.
Gin tore off the sealing wax, pulled out a piece of white paper from the envelope, opened it and saw... "Nothing, it's a detective game organized by the organizer."
Gin threw the letter on the table, showing no interest at all:
"Asking passengers to play the role of murderer, detective or victim is just children playing house. Don't pay attention to it."
"oh."
Vodka nodded and continued to eavesdrop on Kogoro Mouri's room.
After a while... Gin's body shook violently, he grabbed the letter paper on the table like lightning, his eyes lit up.
"What's wrong, bro?"
Vodka was startled by his sudden action:
"Could it be that this letter was poisoned?"
"....If the letter had been poisoned, I would have died long ago!"
Gin glared at him:
"I thought of something."
"Mouri Kogoro is staying in his room and not coming out. There is no need for Akai Tsutomu to reveal his whereabouts. How long will it take to continue like this?"
"In that case, why don't we use this detective game to force Akai Tsutomu out?"
"Brother is wise!"
Vodka came forward to look at the letter and said with a silly smile:
"Should we install a bomb on the car? I just happened to get a batch of good stuff recently, cyclotrimethylene trinitramine, and I brought it with me this time. Big brother, just tell me, who to kill?"
"......"
Gin moved his lips twice, looking like he wanted to curse:
"Idiot! Did your brain get squeezed by the door? What did you bring the RDX for? Planting a bomb on the train, trying to kill us?!"
"It's unfair, big brother!"
Vodka said depressedly:
"Rum asked me to bring the RDX, so I brought this myself..."
As he spoke, Vodka unbuttoned his suit, revealing a circle of C4 plastic bombs wrapped around his waist and several detonators stuck in his chest.
