When Conan came to the bathroom at the connection between carriages two and three, he saw two people already standing in front of the bathroom door.
One of the men was older and wearing a uniform. He could tell at a glance that he was the conductor on this train.
The other person is a woman who is dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing a mask, and her hair is pulled into a baseball cap on her head, giving people a capable impression.
"Conan!"
Hearing the movement behind her, the woman looked back. Her eyes first glanced at Conan and Mao Lilan, and finally stopped at Takagi Wataru.
"Are you a policeman?" She looked at Takagi Wataru and asked.
"Yes."
After nodding, Takagi Wataru stepped forward, took out his police ID, and asked at the same time, "Who are you?"
"A detective who happened to be passing by."
[He is Caucasian. 】
Although the woman was wearing a mask, Conan was able to identify her Caucasian identity from the female detective's eyes and blond hair that were different from those of Asians.
"I was resting in Car No. 5. The conductor brought me over after hearing the news. Officer Takagi, you were the first person to discover the scene, right? Can you tell me about the situation at that time? "
The female detective seemed to be eager to solve the case. She simply explained the reason why she appeared here, and then directly asked about the situation at that time.
While saying this, she also reached out and opened the bathroom door. Seeing this, Conan quickly stepped forward and took a look.
【How could it be her? 】
On the toilet in the bathroom, a woman was sitting against the wall. She was holding a small pistol in her hand. Blood was slowly flowing from her temple down her cheek. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she must be dead. .
This woman is Freya.
"Conan!" Mao Lilan saw this and quickly pulled Conan back.
[The dead person...is Freya? 】
Although he was a little confused by the appearance of the female detective, Takagi Wataru still explained:
"The deceased first left Car No. 3 and went to the bathroom. Not long after, I heard gunshots at the door. When I opened the door and saw what was happening now..."
"Does it sound like the deceased committed suicide?"
The female detective glanced at Freya in the bathroom. Just when she wanted to go in to check the situation, several passengers came over.
"Hey, what's going on here? Can we go to the toilet?"
Upon seeing this, the female detective reached out and closed the bathroom door.
"Ah, it's okay. It's just that the toilet is a bit clogged. Our staff is repairing it. Don't be nervous. If you need to go to the toilet, you can go to the toilet in Car No. 1 first. I'm very sorry for causing trouble to everyone..."
The train conductor was obviously very experienced in handling this situation, and he persuaded all these passengers to leave with just a few words.
"Conan, let's go back first? Just leave it to Officer Takagi and the others..." Mao Lilan, who seemed to be shocked by Freya's death scene, grabbed Conan's shoulders and suggested.
"But here..."
"The little Maori sister is right, it's better for children not to stay in a place like this."
Just as Conan was about to say something, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Akiko Qingshui.
Qingshui Qiuzi stepped forward, raised her hand and rubbed Conan's head, and at the same time smiled and asked Takagi Wataru:
"Police officer, do Japanese police have a tradition of needing children to help solve crimes?"
"Uh, that's not true..." When she asked, Takagi Wataru replied with some embarrassment.
"Look."
After getting his answer, Qingshui Qiuzi looked down at Conan again and said with a smile: "The police officer said that children cannot be left in such a dangerous place. Just leave this place to the police uncle. Go back with your sister quickly. Bar."
"Can……"
"Um?"
Just when Conan was about to retort, he saw Qingshui Qiuzi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a bone-chilling chill instantly swept through his body, making him tremble subconsciously, and he couldn't say anything in defense.
【what happened? This woman...]
"Okay, go back quickly." The invisible chill dissipated instantly, and the kind and gentle smile appeared on his face again, Qingshui Qiuzi said again.
This time, Conan didn't say any more unnecessary words. He took a deep look at Qingshui Qiuzi and followed Mao Lilan out of here obediently.
Watching the two people leave, Qingshui Qiuzi looked at Takagi Wataru again and said, "I'm very sorry, those two children have caused trouble to you."
"Ah, it doesn't matter, but you are..."
"Qingshui Akiko is a friend of Mr. Mori. Mr. Mori may have been busy with work these two days and fell asleep on the train.
If it is not necessary, I hope the police officer will not disturb him. After all, I think the police are not at a point where they cannot solve the case without the help of detectives, right? "
Putting aside these words, Qingshui Qiuzi glanced at the female detective standing at the door of the bathroom, turned and left.
"Haha, she is really a sharp-tongued woman..." At this time, Takagi Wataru raised his hand and touched his head, and replied with some embarrassment.
He actually wanted to refute Qingshui Qiuzi's last sentence, but he couldn't find the right words to refute, and he didn't have enough confidence...
"Conductor!"
At this moment, a conductor suddenly ran over and shouted in a panic:
"Oops! A passenger just reported that a bomb was found in the bathroom of Car No. 1!"
"What?! Bomb?! Is it a terrorist attack?"
Upon hearing these words, the female detective turned around and ran towards Car No. 1 without hesitation.
"Wait! I'm going too!" Behind her, Takagi Sheba and the train conductor hurriedly chased after her.
The three of them ran back and forth through Car No. 2 and came to the bathroom at the junction of Car No. 1 and Car No. 2.
The female detective carefully opened the bathroom door. There was no one inside, except for a shining time bomb tied to the side of the toilet tank.
"It's really a bomb?!"
Upon seeing this, Takagi Wataru looked solemn and quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the Metropolitan Police Department.
The matter has become serious. Now this is no longer a problem that he can solve alone. He must report the situation to the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Do we need to stop the train first?" the conductor asked worriedly.
The female detective did not answer him. She stepped forward cautiously and carefully observed the time bomb.
However, after just observing it, her eyebrows wrinkled, and without hesitation, she reached out and pulled off the bomb.
"Uh-huh!" This move scared Takagi Wataru and the conductor behind her half to death.
"This bomb is a fake, a plastic toy." The female detective said, looking at the fake toy in her hand.
"Huh? Fake?"
Takagi Wataru, who had already made the call, was stunned.
"Why would someone put a fake toy here?"
[Yeah, why would someone put a fake toy here? 】
It's bait!
Looking at the two people behind her who looked confused, the female detective suddenly thought of a possibility.
At this time, the train's announcement also rang very cooperatively.
"The train is about to arrive at Shin-Yokohama Station. Passengers getting off the train, please be prepared..."
