"Chiha," Dr. Asa asked, spreading his hands. "Although it was indeed you who answered this question in the end, I think it should be Gray Yuan who gave you the idea to answer it, right? Is it your problem or the Gray Plains—"

"He's out," Gray Plains replied. "I'm not very good at this kind of puzzle."

"I feel that after Dr. Asasa asked that kind of problem, my question was a little bad and perfunctory." Qian Yu thought for a moment and then said. "Let's say a policeman who lives in his rented house is standing in the kitchen and there's no ginger left, so he goes out. Just as he was riding the tram, he was suddenly surprised. Why is that? ”

"......," Gray Yuan frowned - because the question was obviously much more out of the way than Dr. Asasa had just solved. This kind of out-of-the-box question is much more difficult to complete than Dr. Asasa's.

"Don't use such a disgusted expression!" Chiba looked at Gray Yuan's mourning face and played with taste. "Come on, let's guess one by one."

"He remembered that he still had ginger at home?" Ayumi asked.

“No！” Qian Yu lowered his head so that everyone could not see his expression.

"Yuantai, you ask first, I'll ask next." Mitsuhiko motioned for Yuan Tai to ask first.

"He thought he could eat eel rice and didn't need to buy ginger at all?" Motota asked.

【emmmmmm…… It's worthy of the Yuan Tai......]

"No......" Qian Yu was obviously shocked by this answer, and even the tone of the answer was a little helpless.

"If you don't have ginger, wouldn't it be nice to buy it?" Mitsuhiko frowned. "Why take the tram?"

"Excuse me," Mitsuhiko asked suddenly. "Does he still have ginger at home?"

“Yes！” Chiba raised her head and glanced approvingly at Mitsuhiko.

"Huh?" Ayumi asked. "Then why ......"

"......" Qian Yu looked at her and didn't say anything, just shrugged her shoulders.

"Did he hear the words that you would normally expect on a train?" Conan asked.

“Yes。” Qian Yu tilted his head.

"Did he detect the words and deeds of anyone related to the murderer?" Gray Plains asked.

"......," Qian Yu pouted. No。 ”

"What the hell does that mean?" Ayumi said distressedly. "Didn't you say there was no ginger at home? How can there still be ginger? In that case, why is it wrong for him to remember that he still has ginger at home? And I don't understand what Conan and Ashbara-san's question means at all......"

"Can I tell me about that?" Mitsuhiko was about to speak, but looked at Chiba again. "About this."

"Okay," Chiba shrugged. "Otherwise, the brain circuits of a few of them and a few of you are not on the same level of progress."

"That, Ayumi," Mitsuhiko said after organizing the language. "Well, it's not that he found that there is no ginger anymore (no ginger: しょうがない), but that there is no way. (No way: しょうがない.) Compared with 仕方がない,This is more colloquial,And 仕方がない is written.). This is actually similar to the pun that the doctor played before. ”

"No way?" Ayumi's eyes widened. "Is that so? Wait a minute, so if the police have no choice, does it mean that the case is not going well? ”

"That's right," Mitsuhiko nodded. "That's why Conan and Gray Hara-san wonder if the officer heard something on the train that reminded him of the case."

"Wait a minute," Conan said with a sudden expression. "I'm going to ask a few questions in a row!"

“？” Qian Yu raised an eyebrow in some surprise - this means that Conan has already figured it out? Unlikely, right......

"Is he working on a serial killer case?" Conan asked.

“Yes！” Qian Yu nodded.

"He was surprised when he heard the announcement?" Conan was visibly glowing.

"Yes." A look of confusion appeared on Chiba's face.

"Did you use Komaeda Station on the Chichibu Railway's Chichibu Line as a material?" Conan's smile was even greater.

"Ahh "Found ......"

"When did you get this kind of mouth fetish from that guy?" Gray Yuan frowned slightly. "You're not going to learn from that woman in behavior, are you?" (She was referring to the water firefly.) ）

"Thinking too much." Thousand Feathers shrugged. "I don't have that hardware either."

"What the hell is going on?" Mitsuhiko was also stunned. "Komaeda Station?"

"yes," Conan nodded with a smile. "You imagine. When you're a cop investigating a serial murder case and you're sitting on the tram, you suddenly hear The next station is Omaeda, or ......"

Touching the bow with his hand, the corners of Conan's mouth slightly hooked.

"Next, it's you!" The eerie voice echoed in the ears of Qian Yu and the others.

"Yes." Chiba's support unit stopped his subconscious exclamation and intention to protect Gray Hara's actions in time, making him look calm—Ayumi and the others were clearly frightened. "Uh...... Everyone, calm down......"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Conan also realized that he seemed to have scared Ayumi and them. "But I guess that's what the officer heard, right?" Next stop Komaeda'" (The next stop is 次は, and the next time is also 次は.) Komaeda is pronounced the same as お前だ, which means "it's you". ）

"But it's not a perfunctory question by any means, is it?" Dr. Asasa stopped in the middle of his speech. "Wait a minute, isn't it ......"

"What you did before," Qian Yu said lightly. "I'm actually referring to my question as appropriate—it happens to be an upgraded version of your question, Doctor." (In Japanese, proper and perfunctory are the same word.) ）

And just like that, time passed in their game.

……

At the same time, the town of Rice Flower.

Kogoro Mori placed a large box on the Ford Mustang - a replacement for the Ford Mustang he had drawn from a party at the Seitami Twin Skyscrapers. Although the original car has been dismantled, the news of the skyscraper has sparked a frenzy of enthusiasm for the Ford Mustang throughout Japan, so Ford may have further stimulated the enthusiasm of Japan, so it announced a high-profile refurbishment of a Ford Mustang with the same performance for Mori Kogoro.

Today, Mori Kogoro and Mori Ran are going out in this car.

"But it's strange, Daddy," said Maolilan, sitting in the car, confused. "What a strange request they have."

"yes," Kogoro Mori said, taking the driver's seat. "Conan's mother's request is really weird, she asked us to bring the necessary documents and enough luggage to invite us on vacation......"
