Chapter 111: The Dark Mysterious Train - Reasoning

"Wait a minute, you can't do that. How can you just look at the passenger list casually?"

Vermouth looked at him, "Excuse me, because I found someone I know in the car and I want to know about him."

"If that's the case, just ask me directly."

"excuse me."

Vermouth left with a smile, the smoke machine under the stool.

"Indeed, there are six chains. The chains in other rooms only have five chains. Only the chain in the secret room has six chains."

Amuro Toru nodded, "This way we have solved the problem of the locked room."

"But if a passenger secretly tampered with the door, the conductor would probably notice it."

"Yeah, isn't he always in the corridor?"

The reckless conductor scratched his head and said, "I saw a strange guy peeking at me through the door."

"Hey, who is that weird guy?"

"I didn't see the other person clearly. It was very dark near the tunnel when I entered."

Mr. Anton looked at him and said, "So the murderer is that man, and he has already escaped to other carriages."

"Maybe the murderer is really someone from another car. The conductor of this car not only knows us, but has also been in the corridor."

"It's unlikely that anyone would risk committing a crime in this first-class carriage."

Maori Kogoro, "The possibility you mentioned can be completely ruled out just by this sound."

"what?"

“That’s the sound of the call bell.”

"But who is it?"

Conan popped up and said, "This is me. I pressed the B-type call bell before, and then recorded it with my phone."

"Replay it for everyone. The conductor heard the sound, but found that there were no lights on in any room."

"That's why I went to room A and knocked on the door. Yes, because the light bulb in room A was broken, I thought it was Mr. Noto in room A who rang the door to ask for me."

"At that time, Mr. Noto and the conductor were arguing at the door of Room A, so Mr. Murohashi from Room B went to Room A to check the situation."

"Yes, yes, he is talking on the phone to someone." The conductor nodded frantically.

Amuro Toru tilted his head, "I see. The murderer entered room B at that time."

"The corridors of this train are designed to be quite narrow. Just open the door of Room B."

"It is impossible for the conductor, who was standing at the door of Room A, to see the murderer walk into Room B from the opposite side of the door."

Maori, "Yes, the criminal probably told Mr. Murohashi on the phone that there seemed to be a lot of noise outside the room. What happened?"

"And the train just happened to enter the tunnel. As long as the criminal calls Mr. Murohashi before the train enters the tunnel."

"Even if the criminal suddenly goes to Room B in person, he can pretend that he entered Room B because of the poor reception in the tunnel. This should be what I said."

"What on earth did the criminal want to discuss in Mr. Murohashi's room?"

"They want to talk about Guan Yu's reasoning puzzles in the mysterious train,"

"The criminal used a forged card and asked Mr. Murohashi to play the victim, while the criminal himself played the criminal."

"Yes, pretending to make my daughter think that they were chosen to play the role of accomplices and asked them to cooperate in completing the mystery of the disappearance of the body."

"Let Mr. Murohashi and my daughter exchange rooms naturally. Of course, room B in this first-class carriage had already been reserved by Mr. Murohashi in advance."

"This fake instruction card is prepared just in case of emergency."

"For safety reasons, please let the children be the detectives. Whichever child plays the detective role should go to Room B in Carriage 7 to investigate."

"My daughters, who are acting as accomplices, must temporarily stay in compartment B of carriage 7 and cannot go anywhere else.

"The ruse was immediately uncovered, and my daughter and her friends and the children planned to return to the first-class carriage B room where the murder took place. …

"and then?"

"I know that the criminal used the track of the reasoning game to successfully move Mr. Murohashi to room B to meet him, but how did he get out?"

"If the criminal entered City B with Mr. Murohashi and killed him and left, then the conductor at the door of Room A should have seen the criminal, right?"

"But the conductor didn't see it. So, it should be the strange man who the conductor claimed he saw peeking through the door."

"Which door is it? It's the door at the end of the corridor. Since I saw the strange man in front of Room E, I think it's Room A where Mr. Noto is."

"Hey, you're talking too much now."

Maori Kogoro, "I know who that strange man really is?"

"That person is you, Mr. Captain."

"I, I am the suspicious person. Am I the criminal?"

Amuro closed his eyes and said, "No, Captain, what you saw was the door of Room E and yourself standing in front of it."

“It’s a mirror, right?”

Toru Amuro opened his eyes, his purple-gray eyes were so beautiful.

Maori Kogoro: "That's right."

"The prisoner had covered the inside of his room door with mirrors in advance. When the conductor was called to the door of Room E by Miss Izumi."

"The prisoner opened his mirrored door in order to prevent anyone from seeing him coming out of Room B."

"But if the prisoner was in room B at the time, how could he open the door of his room?"

"He tied the fishing line to the door handle and passed it through the railings of the corridor window. He only needed to pull the fishing line to room B, calculate the timing, pull the fishing line, and the door would open."

"Yes, if you want to use this trick, the mirror must be placed too far or too close, and it will be exposed."

"So, among the five rooms a, b, c, and de on the train, there is only one passenger in room C, which is in the middle. Mr. Anton, you are the only one who can do this."

"A mirror, huh? Tell me, how am I going to get a mirror big enough to cover the entire door into the car?"

"It's the painting that the guest asked you to appraise. If you put three or so mirrors between the canvases of the painting, wouldn't it be enough to cover the entire door?"

"And isn't that a heavy painting?"

"That's because the frame is made of pure gold," Mr. Anton argued.

Toru Amuro took the frame and unpacked it, "But the frame is made of gilded wood."

“What’s really important is the painting. The inside of the painting is exactly as the teacher said.”

"These three mirrors, the first mirror has a part that is deliberately painted the same color as the door, apparently to prevent people from thinking it is a mirror. It took a lot of effort."

"If you don't take care of it, the letter E on the door will also be reflected in the mirror."

Mao Li, "Okay, Mr. Anton, would you like to explain what these three mirrors are?"

"Don't argue that these mechanisms were already in place before the client gave you the appraisal, and don't say that you didn't find any reason why this painting was abnormal."

"Otherwise, I can also directly ask the client who entrusted you to authenticate this painting."

"But that assumes that the client you're talking about actually exists."

"Isn't your reasoning a bit too far-fetched?"

"It's not easy to tamper with the chain gun on the door and add a chain."

"If the light bulb in the call light in my room wasn't broken, the conductor wouldn't have come knocking on my door, right?"

"The reason I asked the conductor to come here was because of my room. I don't know who forgot to take the watch and it suddenly rang."

"Captain, I remember you once said that."

"You said the captain seemed to be missing an item of his uniform."

"Ah, um, yes."

"I guess Mr. Anton must have stolen the uniform."

"If he puts on that uniform and sneaks into the pre-departure inspection, he can fix the door chain in advance."

"You can also replace the light bulb on the call light outside Mr. Noto's door. There is also a way to secretly place the watch in Miss Izumi's room."

"Next, while Miss Izuba is complaining to the conductor, he can use the remote control to set the alarm on his watch to sound, thus distracting Miss Izuba and the others."

"This way, Mr. Anton, who sneaked into Room B, could secretly use the fishing line to open the door of Room C, which was covered with a mirror, without the conductor discovering the door with the mirror."

"After being able to cover himself, let him hang the chain on the door of Room B."

"Then pretend that he came out of his room and closed the door of Room C, then find an opportunity to get close to Miss Izumi and the others."

"We can successfully create a perfect escape plan. Even if the conductor is in the corridor, he won't be able to see any suspicious people entering or leaving the crime scene."

"Unfortunately, Ms. Kozue and the maid happened to pass through the corridor before the mirrored door opened, and there was a high possibility that they would have discovered the fishing line trap at that time."

"It happened that we just passed through the tunnel and the carriage was dark, so no one noticed. It couldn't be that they didn't want to be associated with the incident at all, so they pretended that they didn't see it at all."

"But why did Mr. Anton give Mr. Ichihashi to..."

"Weren't you guys rescued together from the fire years ago?"

"Yes, I thought so two years ago, until I found out in the auction market that paintings that should have been burned were actually being sold."

"what?"

"I find it very strange that when I was asked to investigate the owner of the painting, the name I found out was Murohashi."

Amuro Toru looked up, "I see, Mr. Murohashi, he stole the painting from the house. In order to cover up the theft, he set the whole house on fire. As a result, many innocent people were involved."

"Yes, that man is just like us. He always wants to remember those who died in the fire, and those who died in the fire. That's why he takes this train every year."

"I was planning to persuade him to turn himself in, but when he played the victim in the mystery game and I played the criminal, we were both waiting for the kid who played the detective to show up."

"I didn't expect that man to say that. This kind of thing is really exciting. It's like making you feel like you're still alive."

"Don't you think it will remind people of the memory of being rescued from the fire and finally coming back to life?"

"I didn't expect the man to be so excited and say such things with such a happy look on his face."

"In that fire, my wife also died in the thick smoke."

Mr. Anton couldn't help crying.
