Car No. 6, Room D.

"After reading it, I didn't find that person..."

The three children returned the mobile phone to Sera Masumi, and they were all in a very low mood.

Because after repeated identification by the three little ones, no passenger's back was found to be the same as the "prisoner" who escaped at that time.

"Yeah?"

Seriang took the phone and could only smile and comfort the three little ones, "It doesn't matter, even if you can't recognize it, Detective Maori will definitely be able to find out who the murderer is!"

"Then let's do this for now. I'll go back and tell Mr. Maoli and them..."

After saying that, Seriang left in a hurry.

After Sera Masumi left, Haibara Ai also jumped down from her seat and walked towards the door.

Mao Lilan saw it and asked quickly: "Xiao Ai, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the toilet and taking some medicine..."

Hui Yuan Ai's voice was very cold, and after speaking, he opened the door and left.

Mao Lilan wanted to follow him worriedly, but Suzuki Sonoko on the side hugged her shoulders and said calmly: "That child is different from ordinary brats. Even if you follow him now, you will only be hated."

"But……"

"It doesn't matter, just sit here and wait for a while. Isn't the murder suspect in the No. 8 carriage? This means that the other carriages are absolutely safe."

After Yuanzi explained this, Mao Lilan felt a little more relieved and did not chase her out.

…

Car No. 8.

"So the murderer can only be you, Mr. Anton."

Upon hearing Qin Zhibo's verdict, An Dongyu's body trembled violently, with an incredible expression on his face.

"W-what are you talking about? Mr. Noto..."

"I just came out to check on the quarrel in the corridor. How could I be the murderer?"

"And the suspicious figure the conductor saw at that time appeared in the location of your room..."

An Dongyu continued to quibble, and even framed the other party.

But Qin Zhibo was not in a hurry and chuckled softly.

"Hmph, if you didn't tell me that I forgot about that figure, you must have designed that figure too, right?"

"As for what method to use, I think you just need to check the items you carry with you."

"What do you think? Detective Mori?"

Qin Zhibo left the decision-making power to Mouri Kogoro. After all, he couldn't perform too well and arouse Conan's suspicion.

Since Qin Zhibo used the simplest elimination method and it was also the correct use of the elimination method, Mouri Kogoro also understood the logic and turned to look at Anton Yu.

"Mr. Anton, can we go in and check your room?"

"Forehead……"

Anton glanced at everyone's suspicious eyes, knowing that if he refused at this time, he would be in a more passive position, so he could only nod and accept.

"All right……"

Anton led everyone to his room. There was only a huge rectangular package in the clean and tidy room, lying across the sofa seat like a blackboard.

"What is that?" Mouri Kogoro asked, pointing at the thing.

"It's an appraisal painting that I plan to send to Nagoya to return to the client."

"Can I open it and take a look?"

"Well, okay."

After receiving the consent, Mouri Kogoro opened the package and took out a painting in a golden frame.

"This painting is quite heavy..."

"Well, after all, this is a frame made of pure gold."

At this time, Qin Zhibo, who was standing at the door, suddenly said: "Mr. Anton, I remember you said before that this painting is a fake, right?"

"Yeah." Anton nodded, confused.

"But why is a fake painting decorated with a pure gold frame? Isn't this a little unreasonable?"

Hearing this, Anton's expression was stunned, and two drops of cold sweat flowed from his temples.

"...This is a way to deceive the appraiser. Using more expensive decorations can easily make the appraiser take it lightly..."

"So you didn't let down your guard?" Qin Zhibo continued to ask with a smile.

"Well, after all, I am a professional..."

The short Conan was listening to the conversation between Noto and Anton, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Although Anton's explanation sounds reasonable at first, if this picture frame is really pure gold, it would be worth at least 1 billion yen.

To make a fake look real, decorate it with a 1 billion yen solid gold frame?

Moreover, even the frame is worth 1 billion, so the value of the painting itself should be even greater, and most appraisers will conduct appraisals more carefully.

Isn't that picture frame made of pure gold?

The reason why it is said to be pure gold is to cover up its unreasonable weight?

Thinking of this, Conan raised his legs and ran into the room. While Kogoro Mori, who was looking at the painting, wasn't paying attention, he directly pressed his little hand on the painting.

This small movement was seen by Mouri Kogoro and he was immediately shocked.

"Ouch! What are you doing, little brat?"

Fortunately, this painting is a fake. Otherwise, if the touch just now left traces that cannot be cleaned, even if Conan's child support is paid to the other party, he will not be able to afford it.

Before Kogoro Mouri could catch Conan and teach him a lesson, Conan quickly pointed at the painting and shouted: "The painting feels weird when you press it down, as if there is something stuck in it!"

"What?"

Mouri Kogoro looked puzzled, turned around and gently pressed the surface of the painting with his fingers. Sure enough, it was not soft, as if there was something hard underneath the painting.

However, looking at the combined thickness of the painting and the frame, the gap in the middle should feel hollow.

Mouri Kogoro pointed at the painting and asked Anton behind him: "Mr. Anton, is there anything else in this painting?"

"Ah?" Anton hesitated and replied, "It's to protect the paintings..."

However, Mouri Kogoro was not that slow, and judging from his uneasy reaction, it seemed that there was something else going on.

"Do you mind if I take it apart and take a look?"

"dismantle……"

Before Anton could agree, Mouri Kogoro took apart the back panel of the solid gold picture frame.

A glass mirror is inserted into the gap between the back panel and the painting.

But there is not just one mirror, but three.

"Mirror?"

"Mr. Anton, please explain what is going on?"

"this……"

Seeing that the important crime tool was discovered, Anton could only continue to speak harshly, "I just said it was to protect the painting from being crushed..."

"But didn't you just say that this painting was a fake?"

"...Although it is a fake, it must be delivered to the customer intact..."

"is that so?"

Mouri Kogoro's eyes were doubtful, but he couldn't find a better reason to doubt it for a while.

But Conan looked at three mirrors of the same size, then turned to look at the door behind him, and his mind exploded with a bang.

I understand!

I see!

A confident smile appeared on Conan's lips, but he seemed to be obediently exiting the room on his own initiative, but in fact he came to the door, pointed at the door and shouted.

"How interesting! The area of ​​this door seems to be almost the same as the three mirrors put together!"

"What?"

Mouri Kogoro suddenly turned around, looked at the door pointed by Conan, and then looked at the three mirrors placed on the table.

These three mirrors have no frames and have the same specifications. There is adhesive on the back. If there is a flat surface, they can be easily put together.

There is also a red paint block in the middle of one of the mirrors.
