Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 171: The Dark Mysterious Train (Part 9)

Yukiko watched the two leave the room and chatted with the first mate and the sorcerer. "To be honest, even though you keep talking about experiments and life and death, you don't give the impression of being members of some dark organization. Instead, you feel like a family."

[First Mate: Should I say she's worthy of being a movie queen, to be able to spot the trickery?]

[Spellcaster: In terms of acting, only the likes of Memory Embers, who each have Best Actor or Best Actress acting skills, can compete with Yukiko.]

[Forward: Applause to Orpheus, the manor's top actor.]

[Postman: Quacking, quacking (applause).]

[novelist:......]

The first mate shrugged. "Well, although everyone joined the manor for different reasons, and now they're fighting each other due to disagreements, this doesn't stop us from chatting while carrying out missions or even fighting each other."

"Really? Then what was Mr. Jose's reason for joining the manor?" Yukiko suddenly started gossiping.

"He wants to find out the truth about the loss of his family's fleet and make his family great again." The sorcerer calmly revealed the first mate's shocking information.

The first mate immediately shot back, "She wants to resolve the blood curse on her body and get in touch with the gods she believes in."

The sorcerer continued, "But it's clear that our problem hasn't been solved yet. We've been working for the manor all this time."

The first mate held his forehead and said, "Speaking of which, Victor, oh, the one who just left, his wish was to receive a letter of his own as a postman, and then he was tricked by a letter into working at the manor."

Yukiko's eyes widened. "Huh? The first two reasons seemed reasonable, but isn't this third one too hasty?"

Subaru Okiya couldn't help but laugh: "Your organization is quite interesting. At least your people are quite humane."

"So you want to join? Naib recommended you in a letter last time." The first mate tried to recruit him.

"Forget it, I have my own work to do." Subaru Okiya refused.

The sorcerer brought the topic back to the plan: "Speaking of which, Jose, have you told Miss Michiko about your plan?"

Yukiko immediately realized, "Wait, you said that big star, Ms. Michiko, is also one of your members?"

The first mate nodded. "Ms. Michiko's situation is very complicated, so I can't elaborate further. Her codename is 'Red Butterfly', and she's a member of the Supervisors."

Subaru Okiya thought for a moment and said, "If the code names of the survivors are your respective professions, then the code names of the supervisors should be related to their respective experiences."

The first mate replied, "Yes, Miss Michiko was once an excellent dancer. She danced in red like a red butterfly. However, many things happened later, and she ended up at the manor."

The sorcerer added, "Some supervisors have very obvious inhuman traits, but apart from those who are inexperienced with worldly affairs, most of them pretend to be normal people. Miss Michiko is one of the more normal ones."

Subaru Okiya thought back to the supervisors he had met so far. Umbrella Soul and Night Watcher did look like normal people, but the others... especially the lizardman, were very different from normal people in terms of body shape.

In carriage No. 8, Kogoro Mouri and his group began a new round of questioning of the passengers. In order to verify his guess, Conan asked everyone to run in the corridor.

He explained, "We might have seen the prisoner's back as he escaped before. If we take a picture of his running posture, we can compare it."

"Then I'll use my camera to take pictures." The reporter took the initiative to raise his camera.

In Mr. Anton's room, Conan also checked the heavy picture frame.

When questioning Ms. Komino and Ms. Sumitomo, Conan deliberately asked Ms. Sumitomo to go jogging, and took the opportunity to talk to Ms. Komino, but Ms. Komino remained silent and even smoked. From this, Conan realized that the identities of these two people were not simple.

Finally, when they asked Miss Chubo, she had hung up the security chain in the room, so they could only observe the situation in the room through the crack in the door.

Conan noticed that when looking from outside this room, he could not see the sofa on the opposite side, but from Mr. Murohashi's room, which was also locked before, he could see the sofa on the opposite side.

After filming, the reporter handed the camera to Shiliang: "Remember to return it to me, this is my old partner."

Shiliang readily agreed: "No problem, then I will take these videos to show the children."

There were only four people left in the carriage: the reporter, the novelist, Conan and Maori Kogoro. Conan looked at the reflection in the glass and understood everything.

The reporter and novelist were chatting nearby.

Novelist: "Looking at this dim environment, I thought of the shadow puppet games my wife and I used to play. She was the nightingale and I was the raven. We used these shadows to make up stories one after another and then recorded them."

Reporter: "That sounds very heartwarming. You must love your wife very much."

"Yes, she was also a journalist, but unfortunately she disappeared in an accident."

"Really? I'm sorry to hear that."

"Nothing. Although many people have told me to give up, I don't believe she's dead. I'll keep looking. Do you understand this persistence, Ms. Lamb?"

The reporter nodded. "Everyone has their own inner obsessions, and I am no exception. Well, I wish you success, Mr. Orpheus."

Conan listened to the whole process, while Kogoro Mouri stared at the scenery outside the window with lack of interest.

[Composer: I have to say, you two performed quite well.]

[Novelist: That card has the melody of a nightingale's song on it.]

[Reporter: Yes, let Conan see it. After all, many of the traps in the manor are opened by music.]

[Violinist: That's really hard for this tone-deaf little detective.]

[Opera Singer: But he also has perfect pitch. What a contradiction.]

[Dancer: So, he can accurately identify each note, but when he sings them together, they are all out of tune?]

[Batter: That talent is a bit of a waste on him, since he can neither sing nor compose music.]

[composer:......]

[Opera Singer: ...]

In the corridor, Yukiko, who had already started to act, passed by Vermouth, who was made up as Scar Akai. Amuro Toru looked at Sera running through the corridor and sent a message to Vermouth.

The train entered the tunnel again, and Sera bumped into Vermouth in the corridor.

"who are you?"

Vermouth replied with a smile, using her disguised appearance and voice: "Hmph, you are still the same as before, so pure."

"Brother Xiu? Are you really Brother Xiu?" Shiliang was shocked. "But isn't Brother Xiu dead?"

The train drove out of the tunnel, and the dazzling light made Sera feel a little dazzled.

"That's exactly what I wanted to hear from you." Vermouth took the opportunity to shock Sera with an electric shock gun and sent a message to Toru Amuro.

In carriage number 8, Conan, who had figured everything out, gathered everyone in the corridor in the name of Kogoro Mouri.
