"Brother, are we going to follow the instructions in this letter, stay in the room and wait for the crime to happen before acting as detectives to solve it?"
On the steadily moving train, Vodka read the contents of the letter over and over again:
"Kogoro Mori next door, it seems they are going to play the role of the murderer's companion."
"Just follow their instructions."
Gin threw the cigarette butt out of the window and said lightly:
"We are just going with the flow and playing a game with them. However, our target is Kyogoku Makoto who is beside Maori Kogoro. Be smart and don't miss the trap."
"Got it, big brother."
Vodka nodded and sat obediently in the chair.
Soon, he heard the sound of a door opening next door. Kogoro Mouri went to the restaurant to wait, while the remaining Mouri Ran and others had to play the role of the prisoner's helpers and exchange rooms with the prisoner.
This will take some time, but fortunately the train has just started and it will take several hours to arrive in Nagoya, so there is plenty of time.
Originally... Gin was planning to play a game with Kogoro Mori according to the instructions on the letter, until 10 minutes later, there was a sudden knock on his door.
Boom boom boom!
"Who is it again..."
Vodka pulled out his pistol and carefully opened the door, only to see a plump middle-aged man wearing a white suit and a mustache standing outside.
"Ms. Sumitomo, can you let me in?"
The plump middle-aged man looked at Vodka with a smile.
Vodka frowned. He didn't know the other person, but from the other person's tone, it sounded like he knew them.
After looking back at Gin and getting a positive answer, Vodka made way and let the plump middle-aged man enter the room.
After entering the room, the round middle-aged man smiled even more. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the black ink on his chest and said softly:
"This reasoning activity is really exciting... Miss Sumitomo, Mrs. Komino, what do you think?"
Vodka and Gin looked at each other, having no idea why this guy was here.
"Mr. Maori is really too much. He actually took the room 8-b that originally belonged to me, forcing me to go to the ordinary carriage..."
Gin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly understood why.
That is to say, Box 8-B, which was supposed to belong to the plump middle-aged man in front of him, became Maori Kogoro's room, and the plump middle-aged man whose box was robbed naturally disappeared from the Black Organization's sight.
This led to a flaw in the Black Organization's plan.
"But it's nothing."
The plump middle-aged man smiled slightly, slowly pulled out a silenced pistol from his chest, and pointed it at Gin:
"Those who are destined to die will die. Since you already know what happened back then, don't blame me for taking the initiative..."
"?"
"?"
Gin and Vodka looked at the pistol of the plump middle-aged man and fell silent at the same time.
What the hell is going on?
I was sitting in the box doing nothing and someone came rushing in and committed a crime?
"Hello."
Gin sneered, ignored the gun, stared at the plump middle-aged man with a cold gaze, and said in a low voice:
Gu Tun
"You brought this upon yourself..."
"you..."
Hearing Gin's unfamiliar voice, the plump middle-aged man was startled:
"Are you a man?"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the plump middle-aged man felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, lost consciousness instantly, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Vodka wiped the bloody gun handle on him, kicked his pistol away, and asked:
"Brother, what should we do now? This kid is looking for death. Should we throw him off the train?"
"No...."
Gin rubbed his brows and pondered:
"The target he wants to kill is not us, but the two women whose places we replaced. It seems that there is a connection between them..."
"Since he used this reasoning game to commit the crime, we can do the opposite and use the real crime scene to lure out Akai Mutake!"
"But brother..."
After kicking the unconscious plump middle-aged man, Vodka said with embarrassment:
"I have already taken action. He has a wound on his head. With Maori Kogoro's ability, he should be able to find the murderer. If we are caught as criminals, it will be bad..."
"Wouldn't it be enough to shape the scene into a perfect murder?"
Gin took out a medicine box with a few red and white pills in it:
"The wound on his head proves that this is a murder, but as long as we give him aptx4869, no matter how powerful Maori Kogoro is, he won't be able to find the murderer!"
"Brother is wise!"
Vodka grinned:
"After taking aptx4869, there is no trace of anything left. It is no different from sudden death. Even if the body is sent for forensic examination, it is impossible to find any abnormality!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, give him the capsule, take a look at his invitation letter, and send the body back to the room."
"clear!"
Vodka squatted down, pried open the mouth of the plump middle-aged man, stuffed the red and white capsule into it, and after making sure it was swallowed, he reached into the other's suit, fumbled for a while, and found a wallet and two letters in the inner pocket.
"Brother, his name is Murohashi Etsuto, his room number is 7-b, and in this reasoning game... he plays the victim!"
"Didn't the envelope that Maori Kogoro received just now ask them to exchange rooms with the victim?"
"Yes, I heard it clearly. In order to increase the difficulty of the game, the organizer asked Mao Lilan and the others to exchange rooms with the victim. In other words, Murohashi Etsuto should have been killed by now and is staying in the 8-b box next door... It's just convenient for us!"
Vodka chuckled twice and stuffed the wallet and envelope back into the chest of the chubby middle-aged man. Just as he was about to send the body back to next door... the body suddenly trembled, opened its eyes abruptly, covered its throat, and lay on the ground struggling in pain.
The plump middle-aged man groaned and wailed, twisting his body violently with his eyes wide open, while Vodka and Gin watched coldly, as if they were appreciating the tragic death of a supporting character in a stage play.
However... after struggling for a while, the round middle-aged man's body began to shrink, and his rough skin became delicate, as if it was reorganized. Under the gaze of Gin and Vodka, he turned into the appearance of a middle school student.
“What is going on?!”
Vodka was dumbfounded and couldn't even speak clearly:
"He he he....he has turned into a child!"
