Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

On Friday evening, the Silver Meteor No. 1 train, a fast train passing through Hakodate and Asahikawa to the Shikuhara Wetland in Hokkaido, slowly departed from Tokyo.

Gao Cheng took Hui Yuan to find the narrow sleeper compartment, stared at the sleepers side by side on both sides of the aisle, and slept on his lower berth No. 3 with a slumped face.

"If you want to sleep one night in a place where you can't even stretch your legs... you will know that free travel is not reliable."

"Originally, the ticket came with it." Huiyuan climbed up to the upper bunk with a small body, quite satisfied, "And this time I got the opportunity to travel because I got 200 points."

When it comes to the high score, Cheng is full of complaints: "To watch the magic show, Tokyo also has it. Is it necessary to go to Hokkaido?"

"I heard that the fantasy magic troupe that performed the magic this time is very famous abroad, and they only return to Japan to perform once a year," Haibara said as he closed the curtain.

"Well."

Gao Cheng curled up on the lower bunk, and spent the past few days helping the little girl find her father. In the end, not only did she not make any money, but she even paid a fortune. Now he is indeed very tired.

The body is tired, and the heart is even more tired.

Next time, if there is such an entrustment again, I must reject it with all my heart...

"Please accept this blood-red rose." Suddenly, a strange man wearing a mask appeared in the aisle, his body was tightly wrapped in long robes, only his eyes were exposed from his whole body, and he made a strange voice, which scared people High into a jump.

"what?"

"The rose is for you, please accept it." The weirdo held a card in his gloved left hand and stretched it out in front of Gao Cheng, flipping through his hands to conjure a bouquet of roses.

"Magic?" Gao Cheng took the rose in a daze, and watched the strange man perform rose magic to the passengers on both sides of the aisle one by one.

Although I know it's a deceitful thing, I can't see the strange man's method at all...

"Great," the passengers were all pleasantly surprised, "He must be a member of the Fantasy Magic Troupe."

"I heard that there are professional magicians performing magic tricks in the carriages on this train. I didn't expect it to be true."

"The railway company specially hired it to attract customers. After all, everything is in a recession right now."

While the passengers were discussing, the strange man suddenly turned around,

Just by snapping their fingers, the roses in everyone's hands broke off and fell to the ground, leaving only the flower branches in their hands.

The passengers were stunned, exclaimed and applauded again and again.

"Magic train?"

Gao Cheng silently stared at the back of the weirdo as he left the scene.

what happened? It's just a bad feeling to start traveling...

The next day, Gao Cheng was woken up by a loud noise, only to find that he had arrived in Hokkaido, and he could see a vast field outside the window, as well as herdsmen busy in the pasture.

After yawning, he went to the dining car with Hui Yuan to have breakfast in a daze.

"I didn't sleep well all night, and I was woken up again in the morning. It's really terrible..."

"Huh?" Police Officer Megure and Takagi were sitting by the window on the right to eat, and stood up suspiciously when they heard the voice, "Brother Kido! Why are you here too?"

"Officer Megure?" Gao Cheng woke up instantly when he saw Megure and Takagi, and subconsciously looked around, "There is no case, right? This time it has nothing to do with me..."

"What are you talking about, brother Kido?"

Mu Mu wiped off his sweat, and pulled Gao Cheng to sit opposite him: "Gao Mu and I only came to investigate because we received a threatening letter."

"Threatening letter?"

"This is it."

Takagi took out a photo, a photo of a marionette whose joints were twisted and looked a little creepy, and a photo of a threatening letter.

"Next weekend on the 28th, the train to the Shikuhara Marsh in Hokkaido will be enchanted, allowing you to enjoy the magic of death and terror...Hell Puppet Master..."

"This puppet was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department together with the threatening letter in a box," Mu Mu said in a deep voice, "There is a threatening letter directly outside the box, no matter if it is a prank or not, just in case I'm still coming over."

Gao Cheng looked at the photo for a while, and said, "Mumu Police Department, did you see a man performing magic in a sleeper yesterday? Not only did he hide his body, but even his voice seemed to be processed by a transforming device... ..."

Mu Mu shook his head regretfully: "We also investigated after the incident, and no one knows who he is at all."

"That's it," Gao Cheng put down the photo, touched his hungry stomach and said, "Let's eat first, the dining car here is quite luxurious, and it's comparable to the dining car on the Big Dipper."

"Oh?" Mu Mu asked in surprise, "Brother Cheng Hu has also been on the Big Dipper?"

"Yeah, last time I sat in Hokkaido with Uncle Mori."

Gao Cheng smiled wryly to himself.

It seemed that something happened to him every time he took the train.

If Japan made a special summary of train incidents, he should be the detective who solved the most cases, right?

He looked down at the menu prices.

"Um, is Officer Megure treating you this time?"

"Huh?" Mu Mu's fat face was stunned for a few seconds, and he laughed, "Just order what you want to eat. I haven't thanked you enough for the twin tower skyscraper incident last time..."

"Then what's the point?" Gao Cheng scratched the back of his head, "Just the most expensive one..."

Mu Mu's face twitched: Just like Mao Li, he was still thinking about the bonus.

A waiter in the dining car came with a plate: "Is this Mr. Megure? This is the rose salad you ordered just now."

"Ah?" Mumu watched the waiter put down the plate inexplicably, "I've never ordered this before, how do I eat this?"

"Is this really edible?" Gao Cheng tried to poke a bunch of roses on the salad, and almost got his finger pricked.

Just as he was talking, a strange man in a coat and a captain's hat walked into the dining car: "Everyone, I'm sorry to disturb your meal. Robert said he would like to say good morning to all the passengers..."

Gao Cheng stopped caring about the rose salad and looked up at the person who came.

The big and loose coat completely covered the head and neck, making it impossible to see his face clearly, just like the train conductor in the old animation.

The weirdo stopped at Gao Cheng's table and stretched out his hand, and suddenly a little puppet boy poked his head out of his pocket and greeted cheerfully, "Good morning, how did you sleep?"

"Oh!" Mu Mu also widened his eyes, looking at the lifelike puppet boy in amazement.

"How is this done?"

Gao Cheng moved closer to see how the puppet was manipulated, but the weirdo directly withdrew his hand and took off his hat.

"Sorry for disturbing everyone," a young girl with short hair showed her face from a loose coat and smiled softly at Gao Cheng. "Next, members of our Fantasy Magic Troupe will perform a magic trick for everyone. Please enjoy it..."

Mu Mu watched the girl turn and leave, and couldn't help sighing: "It's not easy for this child to be able to enter a first-class magic troupe at such a young age."

"Isn't it just magic?" Gao Cheng propped his chin, "Actually, I can do it too, unique magic..."

"Really, Brother Kido?" Mumu said in surprise, "I've never seen it before."

Huiyuan drank the juice, and glanced at Gao Cheng lightly: "The magic trick you're talking about isn't breaking a baseball machine, is it? No one else can do it."

"I said it was an accident..."
