Chapter 66 Different People
"Is that so?" A bright-eyed woman asked with great interest, "You solved the case in that family. The murderer was the youngest son, a violinist. He had an illicit love affair with his stepmother, so he had to leave sadly ten years ago. I thought that I could break up with her, but who would have known that ten years later, I would hear the news of her death..."
Maori Kogoro proudly narrated loudly: "Yes, on a snowy night ten years later, he returned from abroad in the wind and snow, carrying only his beloved old violin, and began his journey of revenge. Then the sad and beautiful sound of killing resounded throughout this isolated old house..."
Conan Edogawa listened with a twitch on his face. He could guarantee that in the few years he had been with this man, such a strange case had never happened before. Rather than reality, it is more like a sentimental literature filled with melodramatic love stories, with just a few elements of reasoning added in at most. He would never admit that this would also be a mystery work.
The train was running quietly on the tracks. They are now in the private room next to each other. The long-haired beauty is a guest who is also from Japan. She calls herself "Xiaojuzi". She is a star who has just started her acting career. She has three works so far, and at the latest one will be released next year. Next to her was a gentleman wearing glasses. He called himself Yuyi Haixiu and was the agent of this Miss Xiaojuzi.
Because they are all Japanese, and Xiaojuzi is really beautiful, Maori Kogoro took the initiative to get close to her, so now they are having a very pleasant conversation. Maori's reputation as the "Sleeping Detective" is apparently still well-known in this foreign country.
The sky darkened, and Conan was still thinking about the piece of clothing he saw during the day. Some people are ready to take a break, while others are still doing their own things. Because of Xiaojuzi's insistence, Kogoro stayed for a few more hours. When it was finally time to leave, the young female star finally woke up from her sad love story and wanted to see them off.
It was said to be a farewell, but they just opened the carriage door. The car lights outside were bright, a transparent white. As soon as they went out, they saw their guests coming into another carriage. This is also a very beautiful lady. She has makeup on, a white fur scarf that looks very expensive, a wide-brimmed hat on her head, and a string of crystal pearls around her neck. Two very tall men were carrying several boxes of luggage for her. Judging from their demeanor, they seemed to be specially hired bodyguards.
Hearing the voices from this side, the foreign lady with short permed and dyed hair glanced at them indifferently, without saying a word, and walked directly into the box.
Kogoro's eyes lit up: "What a beautiful and arrogant lady."
Xiaolan, who was already very tired, couldn't help but say, "Dad!"
Kogoro coughed and said quickly: "Ahahaha, let's go to rest, it's already late haha."
Conan did not look away, he continued to look over there. In a private room at the back, a shallow gap opened. As if noticing his gaze, the person in the dark was startled and immediately closed the door tightly.
"Hey," Conan pulled Kogoro's sleeve: "Uncle, do you remember who lives in that carriage?" He pointed his finger there.
"Who is it?" Kogoro looked up and recalled: "There were a lot of people coming up yesterday, and I was paying attention to Miss Xiaojuzi at that time..."
Okay, I knew you were unreliable, Conan lowered his arms weakly.
Nothing should happen, right? The lady came up later.
Conan was troubled and had several dreams in one night. In his dream, he saw Gin, and this time, he pushed him into a desperate situation... He sat up suddenly, with cold sweat on his forehead.
There was a voice outside the door, and Conan quickly went to open it. It was Xiaolan and Suzuki Sonoko. When they heard the voice, they turned around and looked. "Little boy," Yuanzi said, putting her hands on her hips and coming closer, "It's almost noon and you just got up. You've already missed breakfast!"
Conan touched his stomach and found that it felt empty and uncomfortable. He smiled and said, "I was too tired yesterday, driving and changing buses." He said coquettishly, "I didn't mean to skip dinner."
Xiaolan was indeed very considerate of him and said she would take him to the restaurant right away. "Where's Uncle Maori?" Conan looked around.
"Probably in the billiard room." Xiaolan thought: "It seems that he met a master who played billiards very well, and Dad didn't want to admit defeat, so he and him had a stalemate."
The scenery outside the car window passed by, and Conan asked again: "Where are we now?"
"I think his name was Meng Jiaguo." Yuanzi looked as if he was having a hard time recalling the past.
"It's called Bangladesh," Xiaolan corrected her. "Specifically, we haven't arrived yet. We are still in a border city in another country."
Do you have to run so far? Conan couldn't help but wonder why he was here.
"So excited!" Sonoko stamped her feet. "I heard that these countries are completely different from Japan, and their people live in completely different ways."
"It would be better to stop in China for a while," Conan complained, "there are so many places there."
"But I've been to China and never been here," said Sonoko.
Xiaolan said, "There's nothing we can do about it. The starting point of this train is not there. Let's go together again if we have the chance."
Accompanied by the conversation between Xiaolan and Sonoko, they went to the restaurant together. As soon as I walked in, a warm breeze blew towards me. The restaurant was very quiet and several people had already taken their seats.
"What's going on?" Conan was secretly alert in his heart: "The atmosphere here." He looked around, and there were two people in black sitting in the innermost room. The Miss Orange whom he had met yesterday and her agent were sitting in a window seat at the back. There were two or three people he didn't know who were talking in a low voice. When they saw someone come in, they glanced over coldly.
"Mr. Kazematsu!" As if she had met someone she knew, Xiaolan happily greeted the people at the nearest table.
Conan looked carefully and saw that it was the person he met when getting on the bus, also a Japanese. Judging from his appearance, he should be sent here on official business.
"Ah, it's Ms. Maori," Kazamatsuri Nomi was also a little surprised, "Hello, we meet again."
"I haven't thanked you for helping me find my scarf this morning," Xiaolan said embarrassedly, "It was also because I was impatient that I dropped it."
Feng Jinye shook his head: "It's nothing, just be careful next time. It's fate to meet someone from the same country on the bus..."
Yes, there seem to be too many Japanese on this bus. Conan thought.
"So that's how it is. You came to take this cross-border train because you were invited by a client who is also a friend," said Kazamatsuri Nomi, with a hint of envy in his tone. "You are much better off than us. We are here to discuss business for the company. A VVIP client didn't want to interrupt his planned trip, so we were sent to this train to sign an agreement with him."
Xiaolan opened her eyes wide: "Ah, is it still possible to do this?"
"Yes," said Kazejō Nomi bitterly, "We can't understand the thoughts of rich people either."
But soon, he smiled and said, "But this is also a good thing for us, isn't it? At least we saved a lot of travel expenses. It's not impossible to do this more often in the future."
Xiaolan immediately laughed as well: "Yes, that's true."
Conan's eyes stopped on the other person. He had been sitting still, but his senses seemed sharp. He noticed his gaze, turned his head, looked at him, and when he saw it was a child, he looked away. "Senior," his voice seemed to be filled with laughter, he said, "Thank you for taking me in, otherwise, this time it would definitely not be my turn."
Feng Jin Ye Jian sighed: "I can't help it. I wrote your recommendation letter for employment. If I don't take you with me, who will take care of you?"
"Eat more," he said. "The cost is included in the ticket. You won't have the opportunity to taste the cooking of a star chef again."
The conversation with these two was also very easy, and the weird atmosphere from before seemed to no longer surround them. Xiaolan took a menu from the train waiter, and Yuanzi familiarly named a few dishes. It was obvious that she was very familiar with them.
Let’s eat first. Conan was so hungry that he couldn't do anything about it. He grunted and swallowed a small dessert. He curled his eyes happily.
In the distant sky, dark clouds were rolling in from even farther away. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning are hidden within it, making a muffled rumbling sound.
"What a great skill!" Maori Kogoro's loud voice echoed in the driveway. He changed into a blue suit, touched his head and praised loudly: "I have never seen a young man who plays billiards as well as you in my country. Let's have a chance to compete with each other. When we return home, I will introduce you to a few people who are also good at this!"
Walking beside him was a tall and handsome young man. He was wearing a black coat and a knitted hat on his head. A few strands of black hair jumped out from the edge of the hat. His eye sockets were deep and the lines of his face were deep and clear. The collar in front was open, and his straight legs took firm and powerful steps. He whispered, "There will definitely be opportunities in the future."
The man who was about to enter the passage suddenly heard it, and he quickly dodged to the side and hid himself in a private room. He observed quietly through the gap until the two people walked away, then he walked out of the room silently.
"It's this guy!" Hatred surged uncontrollably in his heart. He clenched his fists and his teeth chattered.
He knew what was going to happen on this train, he just didn't understand why this man who had once betrayed the organization was here. A premonition suddenly occurred in his mind. "No," he immediately tore this guess to pieces: "What I have done will definitely be punished."
"Akai Shuichi," he said secretly in his heart, "You who killed him must go to hell!"
The train was speeding along the track, and there was a sparse forest in front of it. After leaving the inhabited city, it will next head towards a wilderness where no one lives within hundreds or thousands of kilometers. The terrain there is complex and the roads are rugged, making it a good place to enjoy the natural scenery. But no one knows that a shocking change is about to happen.
