Ke Xue: I got two Kaleidoscopes at the beginning

After listening to Maori Kogoro's reasoning, the conductor's eyes sparkled with admiration: "I see! Mr. Maori is indeed worthy of his reputation!"

Ye Yu patted Maori Kogoro on the back half-jokingly: "Uncle Maori is really amazing. If I commit any crime in the future, I will definitely ask you to investigate."

Maori Kogoro was immersed in his own reasoning and did not notice the joking meaning in Ye Yu's words. Instead, he said proudly: "Haha, please call me Bo Lang today!"

Sera Masumi was not convinced by Maori Kogoro's reasoning. She raised her own doubts: "But Mr. Murohashi was so excited to exchange rooms with Xiaolan and the others before. He was so excited to help solve the mystery. How could such a person suddenly commit suicide?"

Conan took the card out of his pocket: "And this instruction card for the reasoning puzzle is also fake." He handed the card to the conductor.

The conductor took the card, examined it carefully, and said, "Let me see... Yes, the paper material of this card is the same as what we usually use, but the content on it is different from what I heard. This is obviously not something on our train."

Ai calmly analyzed: "This means that someone deliberately made Mr. Murohashi move to the first-class carriage, perhaps intending to take advantage of his habit to commit a crime."

Conan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Mr. Murohashi always reserved Room B, but this time his uncle got there first. This seems like a crime that can only be committed in this compartment."

Ye Yu still found it a little unbelievable: "But if they always reserve this carriage, how did the murderer know in advance to prepare this kind of card? It feels like he knew it in advance."

Ai explained in her usual calm tone: "It's very simple. Mr. Murohashi made a reservation online and probably called to complain because he didn't get a room. That's when the murderer found out."

After hearing this, Ye Yu smiled a little awkwardly: "Oh...it seems that's the case." He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Sera Masumi asked the conductor her question: "Captain, is there any difference between this first-class carriage and the other carriages?"

The conductor looked a bit confused. "What's the difference?" Sera Masumi pressed on. "I heard that compartments A through E in this car are reserved by the same group of customers every year. Is that true?"

The conductor nodded and explained, "This Suzuki Express was built five years ago. The first-class carriage was specially customized at the request of a wealthy friend of Suzuki Jirokichi's advisor."

"The wealthy man is a big fan of the Orient Express and wants his family members to be able to travel comfortably on this train, so the rooms in this carriage are more spacious than the others," the conductor added.

Maori Kogoro asked in surprise: "So, those passengers just now are all members of that family?"

The conductor's expression grew serious. He slowly shook his head and said, "No, it's not. That family suffered a fire a month after the train's inaugural run, and the entire family was tragically killed. Only one of the passengers now is from that family."

Maori Kogoro did not miss any details and continued to ask: "Who is that person?"

The conductor took a deep breath and replied, "It's the passenger in compartment D, Ms. Xiao Minxiajiang. She's a distant relative of the deceased wealthy family."

Sera Masumi continued, "I found some information online. The report mentioned that at the wealthy man's birthday party, a sudden fire took the lives of the wealthy man's entire family and twelve guests."

Conan nodded and added, "The report also mentioned that only Ms. Komino Natsue, her maid, and four guests survived the fire."

Kogoro Mouri asked in shock: "Could it be that those four guests are the passengers just now?" There was a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"Well, the cause of the fire seems to be determined to be a system failure in the store, but the detailed cause has not been investigated." Sera Masumi continued.

"If this murder is a revenge drama caused by a previous fire, then doesn't it look more and more like the Orient Train murder case? In that case, let's go ask the passengers again!" said Kogoro Mouri.

Another round again?

"I say, speaking of the electricity problem. Why didn't you replace the light bulb in Room A with a new one in advance when you knew it was broken?" Conan asked in confusion.

"Behind this first-class carriage is the freight car. We should have prepared spare light bulbs in advance, but we can't find them..." said the conductor.

"So, is the person responsible for inspecting the train before departure Mr. Conductor?" Conan continued to ask.

"Yes, we will have two or three people to check all the equipment in the room. By the way, it seems that we are missing one of the conductor uniforms we are wearing." The conductor suddenly thought of it.

Noto Taisaku looked directly at Maori Kogoro and said, "Ah, you want to know what that fire has to do with me, right?"

Maori Kogoro continued, "Yes, you can't pretend you don't know. I just spoke with the Shizuoka Prefecture police to confirm the details of the incident. Your name appeared among the people rescued. Am I right? Mr. Noto Taisaku, a former Self-Defense Force officer and fellow swordsman of the wealthy who died in the fire."

Noto Taisaku admitted it frankly, pointing to the scar on his face and said, "That's right. The scar on my cheek was also injured in the fire. But I didn't hide it."

Maori Kogoro continued to ask, "Come to think of it, I remember when I first saw you, you had something on your shoulder? Could that bag contain some props that can create a secret room?"

Noto Taisaku explained: "That's just an ordinary bamboo sword! If you don't believe me, just look." As he said that, he opened the bag and showed it to everyone.

After seeing this, the group found that it was exactly as he said, so they didn't say anything more.

Noto Taisaku continued, "Because I've already made an appointment with my friends in Nagoya to spar with each other in swordsmanship. If you don't have anything else to do, I'd like to go back first..."

Conan interrupted him and said, "Uncle, can you run around in the corridor for a while?"

Noto Taisaku asked doubtfully, "Run?"

Conan smiled and said, "Well, since we might have seen the criminal running away after committing the crime, could you let me film the uncle running?"
