Chapter 376: Surrounded by Horrible Things (Combined Chapter)
Soon, Asama Yasuji, who was wearing a wig, a mask and tinted glasses to cover his face and a large windbreaker to cover his body, opened the door.
He glanced at Jiayueli Ze, took a step back, and let this apparent accomplice who "had something important to discuss with him" in.
Although Kagoshi Rinori had already fallen out with Asama Yasuji in his heart, he was never a person who showed his emotions, and he never showed any resentment in front of Asama Yasuji. When he broke up with Asama Yasuji, he just used the excuse that "I had no intention of robbing after my girlfriend died and just wanted to find a stable job."
And this time, after Asama Yasuji's robbery failed, Gayoshi Riza provided him with camouflage clothes and escape tickets - in the three-person robber team, Gayoshi Riza was a think tank, and Asama Yasuji was used to following his advice and didn't doubt it too much.
...Therefore, the process in which Kayoshi Rize entered the room and hit the former boss on the head with a club, causing Asama Yasuji to faint on the spot, was smooth and logical without any twists and turns.
Asama Yasuji fell to the ground without a word.
Jia Yueli thought of his dead girlfriend, snorted coldly, and kicked the person on the ground.
Then he quickly broke the window of the box, tied a fishing line to Asama Yasuji's belt, hung him outside the window, and made a mechanism - pulling the other end of the fishing line tied to Asama Yasuji out of the door, along the stairs, and into Kagetsu Rinori's own box on the second floor, and fixed the fishing line.
In this way, as long as the fishing line is cut at the right time, Asama Yasuji will "jump out of the car" at the right time.
After completing these fancy and complicated preparations, Gayle put on the same disguise as Asama Yasuji - a wig, fake beard, sunglasses, mask and windbreaker.
Finally, he went to the social car with a gun, ready to kill the Izumo boss who was waiting there.
He then "jumped off the train and committed suicide" when being chased by the conductor.
…
The tightly concealed figure of "Asama Yasuji" disappeared at the end of the carriage.
Not far away, a box door slowly opened.
Jiang Xia glanced in the direction where Jia Yuelize left and walked into the empty corridor.
He walked straight to the box where Yasuji Asama had just died, stopped at the door, and knocked on it intentionally.
Of course no one responded.
Two seconds later, Jiang Xia gently opened the door and slipped into someone else's box.
The door closed again behind him.
The fishing line mechanism stuck in the door gap will not be triggered by opening the door. From the outside, there is nothing unusual about this box.
However, the interior of the box was already in a mess - strong winds rushed in wildly from the broken window, and the sundries and fast food garbage in the room were shaking and rolling like weeds blown by the sea water.
Jiang Xia straightened his coat that was blown askew by the wind and estimated the time it would take for Jia Yueli to return.
He took out the baton and unfolded it in his hand.
…
Jiayueli was wearing Asama Yasuji's clothes, holding a loaded gun in his pocket, and walked all the way to the social carriage.
There are three or four tables of people sitting here.
Izumo Keitaro was also among them.
He sat alone on the sofa by the window, staring impatiently at the watch on his wrist - the transaction time notified to him by the "anonymous threat actor" was four o'clock in the morning.
But now, the watch has shown 4:10.
How dare he be late... Was he deliberately leaving him alone to teach him a lesson?
Izumo Keitaro was filled with anger and gritted his teeth, thinking that once he found out the man's true identity, he would find someone to give this guy who dared to threaten him an "accidental death."
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
There was a sudden itch on the back of his head - something touched his hair.
Boss Izumo was startled and turned back as if he sensed something.
The moment he saw the scene behind him clearly, the impatience in his eyes suddenly turned into confusion and fear - there was a tightly shielded man standing behind him, with a gun against the back of his head.
...Why does this person look familiar?
The thought had just flashed through his mind, and before he could identify more, the "mysterious man" suddenly pulled the trigger.
Bang--
Following this loud noise without a silencer, a group of people in the social car turned around in confusion and looked in the direction of the sound.
When they saw Keitaro Izumo lying on the table with blood exploding on his head, and the gunman behind him, the people in the car suddenly burst into screams one after another.
Kayoshi Rize glanced around and found that many people saw the murderer "Asama Yasuji" and a sneer of success appeared on his lips.
After waiting for a few seconds, until he saw several train attendants standing up and chasing after him, Kagetsu Rinori strode towards the door and rushed towards the direction of Asama Yasuji's box.
As he ran, he recalled the murder plan of his idol Kudo Yusaku, and his hands trembled slightly with excitement.
——Next, he would rush to the door of Asama Yasuji's compartment, open it, and under the watchful eyes of the pursuing conductor, fire several shots inside, pretending that he had broken the window.
After that, he fired in the direction of the pursuers - light and bullets basically move in a straight line, so in the narrow and straight corridor, when the pursuers were dodging bullets, Jiayueli would definitely be able to avoid their sight.
During this brief period when no one was watching, he would pretend to go into the house, but in fact he would walk up the stairs leading to the box on the second floor.
——This staircase is right next to Asama Yasuji’s box door, and it is easy to get in.
Afterwards, as long as he cut the fishing line that was connected to his room in advance, he could make Asama Yasuji, who was hanging outside the car window, fall out of the car, and let the fishing line mechanism close the door of the box, creating the illusion that "Asama Yasuji fled into the box after killing someone, broke the car window and tried to jump out of the car to escape, but unfortunately fell to his death."
…
A few minutes ago, in the Maori family's box.
Kogoro Mouri woke up in the early morning and found that neither of the two young men next to him was asleep.
——Ran Mouri was looking at the dark scenery outside the window, while Conan was facing the window, thinking about gin and vodka, and recalling the robbery.
Kogoro Mori tried to send the two men to bed, but failed.
He yawned listlessly, not wanting to bother with it anymore, and decided to turn over and continue sleeping.
Just then, a strange and noisy noise was faintly heard in the distance.
The sound is drowned out by the rumbling noise of the train and is easily ignored.
But Mao Lilan's ears moved, and she suddenly looked to the side and said hesitantly: "Listen, it seems like someone is screaming."
“… scream?”
Maori Kogoro had not been involved in many murder cases recently, so he was not very sensitive to such noises. After his daughter said this, he vaguely felt that it was a bit similar, and got up from the bed cautiously.
Conan heard those voices as well.
At the same time, a switch seemed to be triggered in his mind, and he uttered a low voice-over line:
[Gunshots and screams echo through the rumble of the tunnel...
The man ran through the dark corridor like a hungry beast...]
"?" Conan knocked his head, confused by the inexplicable lines.
But the “dark corridor”…
He walked to the door subconsciously and opened it hesitantly.
The next second, a disguised figure, holding up his cap, ran past their door. In a sleeper car at around 4 a.m., this behavior was particularly suspicious.
The three people in the room were startled at the same time and were a little confused.
The door at the end of the carriage was opened, and two breathless attendants leaned against the door frame and gasped. They saw Maori Kogoro sticking his head out of the door, and immediately pointed at "Asama Yasuji" who ran over and shouted, "There's a murder! That man just shot a passenger in public in the social car!"
"What?!" Kogoro Mouri turned around in shock and wanted to chase after him.
…
Although there were a few more onlookers for unknown reasons, Jia Yueli was not panicked - everything had gone as his idol had expected.
Next, he only needed to break the window and shoot at a few pursuers, forcing them to dodge in a hurry. Then he could easily pin the blame of the murder on his enemy, Asama Yasuji...
While thinking, Kayelize opened the door of Asama Yasuji's box with a "clatter".
He was about to fire two shots into the shattered car window.
But as he raised his hand, he saw the scene in the box clearly and was suddenly stunned.
…In the room that should have been empty, there was actually someone standing there.
In an instant, Kayoshi Rinori's blood pressure soared to the critical line, and his first reaction was - Asama Yasuji was not dead!
Only then did he realize that the person standing in the room was not Asama Yasuji, but the high school detective who once made him a little afraid.
...Wait, this doesn't seem to be much better.
Anyway, why is this detective here?!
As a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Jia Yueli suddenly raised the muzzle of his gun, gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger at Jiang Xia.
——It’s not a big problem. With one more Jiangxia, “Asama Yasuji” will only kill one more person during his escape, and it will have nothing to do with him, Kayoshi Rize.
However, for some reason, the gun, which should have been easily fired with the bending of his fingers, seemed to be filled with extremely sticky glue. The simple and quick action of "shooting" was slowed down countless times by some huge resistance in the gun.
——In the inhuman vision, Kayoshi Rinari’s gun was already filled with puppet clay that appeared out of thin air.
But Jiayueli himself could not see the scene and did not know the inside story.
Therefore, when he failed to pull the trigger for the first time, he naively thought that perhaps he had not used a gun for too long and that he accidentally touched the safety while running.
He immediately adjusted his gun in confusion and nervousness, wanting to pull the trigger a second time.
But it was obviously too late.
——The detective in the room took a look at his calves and smiled at him kindly and friendly.
At the same time as that strange smile appeared, there was a black shadow that drew an arc in the air.
Jia Yueli was startled. The next moment, the baton that came from nowhere, with a heavy sound of wind, hit him heavily on the head with a bang.
A muffled sound escaped from his throat, and it seemed as if a string of fireworks exploded in front of his eyes, and he fell backwards.
As he fell flat on the ground, Kayoshi Rinori lost his grip on the gun in his hand, and the pistol, with half of the bullets left, slid to the ground and was accidentally kicked by Kogoro Mouri, who had just run into the corridor and wanted to rush over to help.
Then he slid back along the ground like an ice hockey puck.
Jiayueli, who had a higher resistance to attacks on the head because of the wig he was wearing, brightened up.
He tried his best to ignore the terrifying shadow cast by Jiang Xia on him, raised his hand and aimed it in the direction where the gun was sliding, trying to catch it - as long as he had the gun, he could kill all those who blocked his way in time and leave only one alive, then he would still be the winner!
Click.
The door of the side box suddenly opened.
One foot landed and firmly stepped on the gun that had slid halfway.
Gin looked down at the gun, then turned his head and looked at the situation on both sides.
He actually didn't sleep just now. As a person who has been using guns for many years and has shot and killed many people on the train, Gin recognized the gunshot mixed in with the noisy noise earlier than others.
Later he heard a lot of chaos in the corridor, as if there were a lot of people there, so Gin opened the door to check.
——He still remembered his previous plan: first hand over the target of this "chance encounter" to Wu Zuo to deal with. If Wu Zuo failed, he would have to personally come out and kill the target and the people who saw the truth, or even kill Wu Zuo himself depending on the situation.
However, it now appears that things have not developed to that serious a point.
At least judging from Uzo's seemingly calm but actually happy expression, everything was developing as he expected.
In addition, as soon as he opened the door, Gin saw the gun sliding on the ground.
Considering that Uzo didn't have a gun, this couldn't be his weapon, so Gin stepped on it.
In such a narrow place, he really didn't want to see anyone other than himself holding a gun - Vodka didn't count, he could only be considered a tool who could shoot wherever he pointed, but he wasn't very accurate.
After intercepting the weapon of the unknown person, Gin turned his head, gave a sinister sneer to Gayueli lying on the ground, and crushed him hard with his feet out of habit.
The gun made a slight clicking sound as it hit the ground.
But it was not trampled.
...Of course, that's not the point.
The key point is that such an accident suddenly happened on the way, and it could no longer slide to Jiayueli Ze.
Jia Yueli lost his most powerful weapon and wanted to stand up and fight, but Jiang Xia stepped forward and stepped on him skillfully.
He flopped on the ground, looking at the approaching conductor, the enthusiastic passengers, the scary tall man in black, and Jiang Xia who was standing in Asama Yasuji's room for some reason, and suddenly raised his hand and hammered the ground.
Then, following the process, I shed tears of unwillingness.
…
There was a shooting and the tragic death of a rich man. With so many things happening, it was impossible for the train to continue to reach its destination as if nothing had happened.
After the crew called the police, the Beidouxing train stopped midway and a group of police officers got on.
The police easily found the body of Keitaro Izumo. In addition, they also found the body of Yasuji Asama hanging outside the window.
"I heard a strange shattering noise in the middle of the night, and out of curiosity, I got up to check what was going on."
Jiang Xia sat opposite the police, holding a teacup, recalling his false mental journey this morning while recounting what he had just seen and heard:
"After entering the corridor, I felt that the wind was much louder than before - although this may also be because everyone is asleep at night and the surroundings are relatively quiet, which makes the noise louder, but I still feel that something is not right."
