Chapter 958: My knife is... Please give me a monthly ticketヽ(〃〃)~
The next second, it seemed to echo Kudo Yusaku's reasoning.
The door of the control room was pushed open from the outside.
Officer Takagi ran in quickly. "Mr. Kudo, we did a simple light-sensitive reaction and fingerprint investigation on the short knife you mentioned. There is indeed blood on the knife, and it is the same blood type as the deceased. So it seems that the knife on the bronze statue is very likely the murder weapon. The fingerprints on the knife are consistent with the fingerprints of President Sindora extracted from the microphone."
Sindora's heart tightened, and he cast a murderous look at Kudo Yusaku.
However, as a hero who had experienced many ups and downs, Sindora was very different from those prisoners who would immediately kneel down and cry when physical evidence was pointed out.
He sneered calmly, "What can my fingerprints prove? - I asked someone to move those bronze statues from my home to decorate this press conference. I often play with my collections on weekdays, and I think that's when I got them.
"As for the blood on the knife... the murderer must have taken it away from the scene and poured it on the knife to frame me - when people stand at a certain height, whether they like it or not, they will always attract all kinds of enemies."
At this point, he sighed and shook his head secretly: "It seems that the enemy this time is particularly thoughtful and actually wants to frame me as a murderer."
Inspector Megure got angry when he heard this kind of sophistry.
Just when he was thinking about how to expose it, at this moment, Kudo Yusaku, who was standing next to him, nodded slightly to Takagi Wataru as if he was commanding his younger brother.
Officer Takagi obediently reached behind his back and pulled out a laptop.
He turned on the computer and showed everyone what was on the screen:
"This is the video footage we retrieved from the banquet hall. There happened to be a surveillance camera facing those bronze statues. I heard from the staff that because this is President Sindorah's personal collection, they are worried about damage or theft, so they specially set up surveillance. Unfortunately, these surveillance cameras do not have night vision functions and cannot capture everything in the dark. But they captured some strong evidence--"
Sindora frowned and turned back, glancing at the surveillance time on the lower right.
He suddenly realized something, and his hawk-like eyes shrank slightly.
…
at this time.
Due to the delayed playback of the black AI behind the scenes, the screen in the control room was still showing the scene of the train conductor gathering the passengers. On the other side, Suzuki Sonoko was holding her skirt and following Moriarty stiffly towards a nearby coffee shop.
But in fact, in the current game, Suzuki Sonoko has begun to sleep soundly at the table, and the plot of "hunting down Jack the Ripper" on the train has also progressed to the final scene.
…
Jack the Ripper's identity was revealed, and after a smoke bomb was thrown in the carriage, everyone in the car disappeared except Conan and "Hideki Moroboshi".
"…Where are the people?"
Conan looked around in confusion and suddenly realized something.
He turned and ran to the front of the car, pushed the door open with force, and walked all the way to the power room at the front.
Coal was burning in the stove, but the driver who was supposed to be there was missing.
Conan checked the carriage and turned pale:
"The brake system was damaged beforehand..."
The train was moving forward at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour, and it was still accelerating. Jumping off the train at this time would be tantamount to suicide. But even if they didn't jump off, in ten minutes at most, they would run into the terminal at high speed with the train and crash into the station, and eventually all of them would die.
I'm afraid Noah wouldn't be so kind as to count "mutual destruction" as passing a level.
And if no player completes the dungeon, the out-of-control AI will electrocute all fifty people.
Conan: "..." At this point, after much thought, the only way to survive from this train that is destined to destroy everyone is to disconnect the connection between the locomotive and the carriages, allowing the locomotive, which serves as the power source, to accelerate and sprint on its own, while they stay in the carriages and slowly stop.
But it is impossible to accomplish this task with just the strength of two elementary school students.
Conan murmured in a low voice: "No wonder..."
…No wonder the cunning Noah wiped out all the passengers in the car.
"Hey, glasses boy, stop daydreaming!"
The panicked voice of "Hideki Moroboshi" interrupted him: "You look like it's not a big deal, what should we do now? Where is Jack the Ripper?"
Conan glanced at the child and sighed inwardly, thinking that he should not allow the mood of despair to spread among the few remaining people and affect their already bad situation.
So he avoided the topic of the train and focused on the solution: "Jack the Ripper shouldn't disappear out of thin air. Sister Xiaolan is a player like us, so there is no reason for her to suddenly disappear - we have to find her first."
…
At this point, Conan suddenly remembered something and glanced at the iron ladder outside the carriage.
Then he ran over quickly, braving the strong wind, and climbed up to the roof of the car.
On the carriage, a young man was standing facing the wind, holding a long rope in his hand. The other end of the rope was connected to the fallen Mao Lilan.
——Ran Maoli, who disappeared with "Jack the Ripper", had been tied up like a dumpling and was lying steadily on the top of the train.
…
Noticing that someone else had climbed onto the roof of the car, Jinpei Matsuda turned around and looked at Conan and "Hideki Moroboshi".
He tightened his grip on the rope slightly, feeling a little complicated.
——According to the script Noah gave, now, "Jack the Ripper" should burst into laughter, and then arrogantly threaten the two first-grade children, saying, "I tied her and I together with a rope! If I fall off the car, she will fall too, so think carefully before you do anything!"
"..." However, Jinpei Matsuda's desire to survive told him that this "clever plan" would, on the contrary, mean that if Ran Mouri fell, he would fall with her.
But on second thought, ghosts don't seem to need the will to live. And the psychic master is urging me. My current opponent is just a kid with glasses, and a cute kid who always encounters cases and murderous intent...
Just add some water.
…
Thinking of this, Matsuda Jinpei gave up thinking. He raised his hand and tied the other end of the rope tightly around his waist.
Then he half-knelt down, twisted the short knife in his hand, pressed the blade down, pointed it at the side of Mao Lilan's neck, and sneered:
"You are not ordinary people since you have been able to track us all the way here. But no matter what means you have, I suggest you do not act rashly. Your companion and I are now firmly connected by ropes. If I fall off the car, she will die as well."
Conan didn't expect that "Jack the Ripper" could actually subdue Xiaolan in an instant.
He thought of his concerns just now, looked at the short knife hanging next to Mao Lilan, which seemed to be able to cut off her neck with a little force, and tried to persuade her: "You have already killed the person you wanted to kill, there is no need to keep insisting on killing!"
