Back in the Bell Tree Train a panicked shout rang through out the train car.

"M- Murder?!?"

"Is this for real murder case?!?" Sonoko exclaims in panic.

"Yeah... Someone shot through this guys temple with a gun." Sera examines the dead murdered body.

"B-but this room was chained locked, you guys had to break through the lock to enter, right?" Ran asks not seeing how murder was possible. "Shouldn't it be a case of suicide?"

"It's still a mystery to us as how the door was locked." Sera continues with her examination. "But there's no burn marks surrounding the gun shot wound on the temple.... It's a proof the he was shot from a distance." Indicating to the head. "Since in order for you to shoot your own head, you have to point the gun closely against your head."

"But you know, perhaps he got scared at the last minuet, before shooting and moved it away from him." Sonoko reasoned.

Conan inspects the gun position and immediately shots down the idea. "I don't think that could have happened... Since there is a silencer at the tip of the gun." He explains further, taking the corpse' hand with a gun. He held it against his head. "Look this thing is quite long, so
it would be unfeasible for him to have moved it way from his head and fired?" He adds. "Plus, I don't think a person committing a suicide would put on a silencer...." Then he points toward the sofa across the corpse. "And look, on the sofa opposite
from him. There is some sort of a trace likely caused by a gunshot."

"Eh?" Ran surprised....

Sera gets near at the indicated sofa and inspects the trace. "It's likely in order to leave gunshot residue on the victim's hand and sleeves to make it look like a suicide... They posed the body to grasp the gun and fired an extra time!" Sera continues... "Of course the culprit's own hands and sleeves would also have gunshot residue on them, but.... What's left on their hands can easily be washed off and since the windows in the room can be opened, perhaps they already threw away their clothes....." Sera glances back at Ran. "But then again our culprits is no doubt still on the train." She smirks. "They can't get away!"

Then Conan's phone vibrates. He takes out his phone from his pocket and sees the contents. He quickly turns to the kids. "Anyway you guys go back to your room with Ran-neechan for the time being!"

Mitsuhiko complains. "Huh? But we want to help out with things too!"

Ayumi agrees. "So does Ayumi!"

Conan scolds. "Don't do anything uncalled for! Until I return, lock your room door and do not open it regardless of who comes visit!"

Haibara annoyed with the shrunken teen. "What's with you all of a sudden."

Genta comments. "You're freaking me out."
