Ke Xue: I got two Kaleidoscopes at the beginning

Chapter 475 Civilized people don’t use dirty words, but I’m not one of them.

"It looks like they've put a lot of effort into it to prevent people from thinking it's a mirror. If they hadn't taken the trouble, the letter E on the door of Room E would have been reflected in the mirror." Amuro Toru said, and he took the picture frame apart.

Ye Yu leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "Okay, Mr. Anton, you have to give us an explanation about these three mirrors." After that, his eyes were fixed on Anton Yu, waiting for his answer.

Conan stood aside, his lemonade almost empty. His voice was lighthearted. "Don't tell me these mechanisms were set up by someone else, or that you didn't know there was something wrong with the painting. If that's not the case, I can go find the client who commissioned you to authenticate the painting. Of course, that client really exists."

Seeing that Anton Yu didn't respond, Noto Taisaku spoke up to defend him, "Mr. Detective, this kid's reasoning sounds a bit far-fetched, doesn't it? Besides, if the light bulb in Miss Izumi's room hadn't been broken, the conductor wouldn't have knocked on her door."

"You mlgb, wuwu~" Ye Yu had just spoken when Xiaoai covered his mouth.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Ai said quickly.

Izumi Mari also joined the discussion, her voice filled with resignation: "If I hadn't heard my watch beep, I wouldn't have asked the conductor to come over."

Ye Yu turned to the commander and continued to ask: "Mr. Commander, you mentioned earlier that there was one uniform missing, right?"

The conductor nodded, his tone simple and direct: "Yes, yes."

"I guess that uniform must have been stolen by Mr. Anton? As long as he put on that uniform and blended into the pre-departure inspection work, he could have processed the door chain in advance and replaced the light bulb of the call light outside Mr. Noto's door. There would also be a way to secretly put the watch in Mr. Izumi's room." Conan continued.

"Then, when Miss Chubo goes to complain to the conductor, he just needs to take the opportunity to use the remote control to make the alarm on his watch sound, distracting Miss Chubo and the others. In this way, Mr. Anton, who has sneaked into Room B, can secretly use the fishing line to open the door of Room C with the mirror on it. The conductor will not find out that the door with the mirror can hide him." Ye Yu said.

"After he hangs the chain on Room B's door, he pretends to be coming out of his own room, and after closing the door of Room C, he finds an opportunity to get close to Miss Izumi and others. In this way, he can successfully create a perfect escape method where even if the captain is in the corridor, he will not be able to witness any suspicious people entering or leaving the crime scene." Xiao Ai said.

"However, unfortunately, before the mirrored door opened, Ms. Komino Natsue and the maid, Ms. Sumitomo Hiruka, happened to pass through the corridor. It is very likely that they discovered the fishing line mechanism at that time, but no one noticed it because the carriage was dark as they passed through the tunnel. Could it be that they didn't want to have anything to do with the incident at all, so they pretended that they didn't see it at all?" Conan continued.

"Don't bother highlighting the key points at a time like this!" Kaito grumbled softly.

Ms. Izumami frowned, her tone filled with confusion, "But why would Mr. Anton take such action against Mr. Murohashi?"

Noto Taisaku also continued, his tone revealing a hint of inquiry: "I remember the fire five years ago. Weren't you two partners who experienced life and death together and were rescued?"

Anton Yu took a deep breath, as if recalling the past: "Yes, I always thought so until two years ago when I accidentally found a painting in the art auction market that should have been reduced to ashes in a fire. This shocked me."

He paused and continued, "The appearance of this painting made me feel that something was amiss, so I began to trace its origin. After some investigation, I discovered that the owner of this painting was Mr. Murohashi."

As Amuro Toru listened to Anton Yu's words, he gradually understood the whole story: "So, Mr. Murohashi stole the painting before the fire, and then to cover up his crime, he set fire to the entire house, but he didn't expect so many people would be harmed."

Anton Yu nodded, his expression solemn. "Indeed, Mr. Murohashi, like the rest of us, rides this train every year to commemorate those who tragically lost their lives in the fire. While his actions were wrong, his heart is filled with grief for the lives lost. I intend to persuade him to surrender and face his past."

Everyone present was silent, and everyone's heart was filled with complicated emotions.

"But when he played the victim in the mystery game and I played the criminal, and we were waiting for the children who were in charge of playing the detectives to appear, I didn't expect that man to say this..."

"He said: This kind of thing is really exciting, as if you are still alive. Don't you think it will remind people of the memories of being rescued from the fire and surviving with great difficulty?" Anton Yu imitated Mr. Murohashi's tone, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice. Everyone present could feel his inner anger and dissatisfaction.

Mr. Murohashi's words seemed to have touched a sensitive spot in Anton Yu, and his emotions began to fluctuate. "I didn't expect that man to be so excited! He said such things with such a happy face!"

Anton Yu's voice became louder and he became emotional. "In that fire, my wife also died in the thick smoke..." His voice began to choke, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back and slid down his cheeks.

Anton Yu's tears dripped onto the table, and he broke down. He covered his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling slightly, trying to control his emotions, but sadness and anger surged like a tide, making it difficult for him to control himself.

Everyone else present was silent. They looked at Anton Yu with sympathy and understanding in their hearts.

"Mr. Anton... Let's leave it to the police from now on..." Conan walked out, patted Anton Yu's shoulder and said.

"No, brother, how can you hand it over to the police when the person is dead? Just hand it over to me." Ye Yu also came out, patted Conan on the back and said.

Conan: ...

"You said they're already dead, how can you expect me to hand it over to you?" Conan complained speechlessly.

"You don't have to worry about this. I can't count the sheep talismans, Zanpakuto, Manekon Banners, and so on. In short, the mountain man has his own clever plan. You'd better wake up Uncle Mori and let him look after Mr. Anton." With that, Ye Yu pulled Xiao Ai up and ran away without looking back.
