Chapter 42: Accomplices of the Organization?
"I'm sorry!" The two men's polite attitude towards the child reminded Conan Edogawa—no, it should be Shinichi Kudo—of the two men in black who had seen him standing at the train car door earlier.
He was strong, but the shorter of the two men in black waved his hand forcefully, rudely and fiercely driving him away, making him realize that he had been overthinking things.
If they were accomplices of those two, they should have treated me just as fiercely as that burly man. Were they probably talking about personal matters in the restroom? What kind of people are they?
What could possibly lead them to whisper in the bathroom? But I still feel that not only are they strikingly good-looking, but their mannerisms also give off a vibe of someone in a special profession…
As Conan stepped aside to clear the exit from the restroom, he secretly wondered what was going on between the two men. Despite his detective's curiosity, once back in his parking spot, he immediately focused his attention on the two men in black who had turned him into a child…
.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Hagi pretended to introduce the Shinkansen to Matsuda, and introduced it to Kaze Seisho: "Kaze-chan, Shinkansen trains usually have 8 or 12 cars, and most of them are double-decker cars."
The first floor is generally for passengers, while the second floor has some first-class carriages and some restaurants. The carriages are also divided into smoking and non-smoking carriages, and some luxury carriages are decorated like hotel rooms...
As Feng Xingshou listened to Hagiwara's introduction, he followed the two to a carriage door. Sensing resistance, he immediately gave them cigarettes as a signal.
At this moment, even though they all guessed that since there was resistance at this carriage door and Feng Xingshou could not leave, the probability that the other door was the boundary of the instance was probably over 90%, they still led Feng Xingshou in that direction.
When they reached the other carriage door and stepped through it, the two were somewhat surprised that they hadn't received any cigarettes. Just as they thought they had guessed wrong, they were surprised to receive a cigarette from Feng Xingshou at the door at the end of the next carriage.
Only then did they realize that the entire instance wasn't just one carriage, nor all the carriages, but two carriages. Referring to the bomb that exploded on the Ferris wheel yesterday, they suddenly understood that the destruction range of this instance was probably two carriages, and therefore the crisis of destruction should also be within those two carriages...
Thinking of this, Hagiwara lowered his voice: "Fū-chan, you go find the exit from the dungeon first. Jin and I will split up and search for the source of the dungeon's destruction crisis. Once you find it, come back and tell us the location, and then go collect resources freely! We'll meet up near the dungeon exit 10 minutes before the dungeon ends."
As he was talking, he suddenly glanced at Matsuda beside him.
“I’m leaving with you this time. After all, I don’t want to miss out on three years.” With the unspoken understanding of close friends, Matsuda knew what Hagiwara wanted to say just by looking into his eyes.
Hearing this, Hagiwara smiled and said, "It seems you'll be with us until we find the right road and the right time ratio to get back!"
"It's nothing, anyway, this game looks quite interesting." Matsuda stubbornly refused to admit that he actually wanted to spend more time with his close friend with whom he had gone through life and death, and wasn't as eager to go back as he claimed. On the contrary, Hagiwara's eagerness to send him back made him want to stop him...
.
Watching the interaction between the two, if Hagiwara hadn't kissed her first, making her realize that he was heterosexual, she would have really wanted to ask them if they were dating.
Now
I quickly wrote a note and slipped it to them before rushing off to find the exit: {OK! You guys go ahead with your work! I'll let you know if I find anything.}
"Alright, shall we start the investigation?" Hagiwara looked at the note in his pocket, took it out, and waved it at Matsuda.
Matsuda immediately nodded: "OK! Let's split up, you on the left and I on the right."
On the other side, after leaving, Feng Xing Shou carefully walked through both ends of the two carriages again, but still couldn't find the dungeon exit, which puzzled her greatly, since it was just two carriages of a Japanese bullet train and the space inside was not large.
The exit of the dungeon was another conspicuous bag, about two meters in diameter. With such an obvious shape, how could she not find it? Had she overlooked something? She wondered as she walked.
Just then, her gaze suddenly swept across the carriage and she noticed a staircase leading to it. Upon seeing this staircase, she suddenly remembered what Hagiwara had just told her about the Japanese Shinkansen bullet train.
He mentioned that Japanese bullet trains have a double-decker structure, with restaurants and special-class carriages on the second floor. Could it be that this dungeon isn't limited to the carriage on the first floor, but also includes the carriages directly connected to the second floor?
Thinking of this possibility, she quickly tried to climb the stairs. Sure enough, this time she was not blocked by the dungeon. After confirming her guess, she quickly entered the second-floor carriage to find the exit. This time it went very smoothly. She had just reached the second-floor carriage.
I discovered that one of the two carriages was a dining car, and the other had a no-smoking sign. The interior of the other carriage was significantly more spacious and luxurious than the carriage below, and the seats were not as cramped. It was probably the special-class carriage that Hagiwara had mentioned.
At the end of this carriage is the dungeon exit. Feng Xing Shou recalled Hagiwara's summary that dungeon exits always appear in places close to danger, which might be a rule of dungeons.
Only then did I realize that the real danger might be in this carriage, so I quickly left the carriage, went through the dining car downstairs to the two carriages below, intending to tell them what had happened as soon as possible...
Hagiwara and Matsuda had just finished searching the carriage twice without finding any dangerous people or unusual presences, and were having some trouble finding them when they saw the note that Kazesei-no-Kami had given them. They realized that they had overlooked the second-floor carriage, exchanged a glance, and immediately headed towards the second-floor carriage.
On the other side, Feng Xingshou followed the two of them and passed through the dining car again. Suddenly, he saw a figure and stopped in his tracks, looking at the other person in surprise. Then he noticed that there was someone else next to him.
She realized something when she looked at their clothes and thought she might have guessed wrong. She quickly wrote a note and handed it to Hagiwara, who was about to enter the first-class carriage.
Hagiwara felt a familiar touch in his breast pocket and immediately, without noticing, took out a small note. It read: "{I might have guessed wrong. The danger isn't with the people in the exit carriage, but with the two men in black at the middle table in the dining car.}"
Matsuda, who also saw the contents of the note, immediately turned around and looked behind him, where he saw a strong-looking man wearing a black suit, a black hat, and sunglasses.
A man wearing a black top hat, a long black coat, with silver hair that reached past his waist, broad shoulders, and a tall, upright posture, who looked to be a head taller than the burly man, sat facing each other at the dining table. There was a black file box on the table.
.
These two individuals definitely exuded a dangerous aura. Using their police instincts, the moment they noticed them, they sensed that one of them had more than one life on his hands. And yet, such dangerous people were traveling on the Shinkansen, carrying a black briefcase.
Second floor food cart?
Feng Jiang is right. The real danger might lie with them. We need to find a way to get to them, talk to them, find out their background, and take the opportunity to check if there are any dangerous items in that black briefcase...
Just as the two noticed the dangerous aura of the two men in black at the table in the food cart, the silver-haired man with his back to them seemed to sense their gaze and immediately turned his head, his sharp and cold gaze accurately directed in their direction.
Without a second thought, he stood up, lifted his long legs, and walked towards them. Even while seated at a table in the dining cart, his gloved left hand was now reaching into the pocket of his black coat...
The two realized after the silver-haired man stood up that he was at least 1.95 meters tall, possibly even taller than the class monitor who was 1.96 meters tall, and had a slender figure that was more attractive than a model.
Although the black hat covered most of his face, the two could still tell from the exposed part and his well-defined chin that he had fair skin and, if his appearance wasn't bad, he would definitely be a handsome Western man.
At the same time, when Feng Xingshou saw that the other party had noticed Hagiwara and the others and was walking this way, he hurriedly and helplessly took out a pen to write a note for Hagiwara, and touched it several times as he put it in his pocket to remind him to read it as soon as possible.
Even without saying it aloud, the impatient touch made Hagiwara immediately realize that Kaze-chan seemed very nervous. Nervous? Because that silver-haired man in black was walking over?
Thinking of this, he immediately pretended to reach for a cigarette, reached into his shirt pocket, and discreetly took out a small piece of paper to glance at it. To his surprise, he saw that the handwriting on it was even more messy than before:
Immediately take out your phone and call out my name at a volume loud enough for him to hear, pretending to call me. Say into the phone, "I think I see that animal analogy expert you mentioned." If he stops and goes back, neither of you should approach him.
I'll try to find out if he's in any danger. If he continues walking towards you, just use a tone that suggests you know me and improvise. The point is to smooth things over by making sure you're not watching him and don't arouse his suspicion.
Upon seeing the contents of the note, Hagiwara, with her keen intuition, almost immediately realized two things: first, Fuu-chan knew this dangerous man, and he knew her too; second, he seemed to be giving Fuu-chan some face and was unlikely to do anything unnecessary to someone she knew.
What is the relationship between the two? Why would Feng Jiang contact someone who looks like a killer who has killed many people? These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but his actions were not slow at all. He directly took out his dead phone.
In a position where the silver-haired man striding towards her wouldn't notice her phone screen wasn't lit, she pretended to make a call and spoke into the phone in a moderate voice: "Hey! Hoshimori-chan, I think I saw that animal analogy expert you were talking about!"
"..." Matsuda saw that his childhood friend had started acting out his own drama after receiving Fuu-chan's note, and immediately guessed that his actions must have come from Fuu-chan's intentions and had some deeper meaning.
As expected, upon hearing Hagiwara's voice on the phone, the silver-haired man who was striding over stopped in his tracks.
Just then, the burly man in black and sunglasses who was with him saw him leave and carefully followed, carrying his suitcase. When he stopped, the man immediately asked in a low voice, "Brother Gin, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing! Vodka, you go back and wait. I'll go say hello to the people Fatty knows." Gin said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, and then continued walking towards Hagiwara and the other two.
