Invitation to the Labyrinth Train?!

According to the Tome of Mirages, there's a Makoto Jewel around here.

I can't wait to ride the boat!

I can't wait to see inside the castle!

The food at the hotel we're staying at is supposed to be really good, right?

Yeah. Dinner is a luxury buffet full of local ingredients.

The head chef is super talented!

-Wow! -Sounds great!

And the public bath is natural hot spring water!

They say if you bathe in it, it'll make your skin plump and smooth!

Plump!

Smooth!

You know so much! No wonder you're the trip leader!

I went all-out researching it!

The guidebook I gave everyone is a fraction of what I know!

-Wow! -Look at all the work you did!

This is a big event! The only overnight school trip we'll have in junior high.

I want everyone to have the best time ever.

So I made sure to be perfectly prepared!

Let's make it a special experience we'll never forget!

Yeah!

Hello! Snacks for sale!

Oh, glamorous snack cart.

-Look, a UFO! -What?!

-Where? -A UFO!

There!

That's a bird!

Maybe it's a bird-shaped UFO!

-I don't see it. -Maybe it flew away.

What?

Huh?

My guidebook is gone!

Why? Where did it go?

-Could that be... -Yeah!

Yumi, don't worry!

We detectives will find it for you!

So it is you, Goemon!

Give back Yumi's guidebook!

Would a thief give something back just because he's asked?

No.

No, but give it back!

No.

Give it back!

No.

Why won't you?

Because I'm a Phantom Thief.

Grrr...

Goemon.

You can't escape. This train is like a locked room.

Locked room?

It's too dangerous to jump off a moving train.

Meaning, nobody can leave this train until the next stop in 30 minutes!

-Of course, that's part of my plan! -What?

All I have to do is keep escaping for 30 minutes, right?

Come forth, trick maze!

Whoa!

-What? -What's happening?

You're invited to Goemon's Labyrinth Train.

Labyrinth Train?

Can you solve all the cases before we arrive at the next station

and get this guidebook back?

-Give it back! -Oops!

Unfortunately, you need a ticket to ride the Labyrinth Train.

Now, choose the real ticket from the ones here!

Three tickets...

That's easy! We just choose the one that's the same as Goemon's.

Yeah.

Um...

Glance.

That's the real one.

They're all the same shape and size.

The words are the same, too.

Only one is the real one...

Huh?

Why's there a bit missing?

That's a punch hole.

Punch hole?

Staff punch holes at stations that don't have automatic ticket gates.

There are many different hole punch shapes.

That's it, Mikuru.

All the punch holes are different.

They are!

Conductor Goemon! Show me that ticket again!

Fine. Just once, though.

Too short!

Okay, give me your answer.

The ticket that's the same as yours...

It's this one!

Correct. You're pretty good at this.

Go ahead, all aboard.

The real game starts now!

-We won't let you escape! -Let's go!

Whoa! A restaurant in the train?

It's a luxury train dining car.

This situation comes up a lot in detective movies and novels.

We've entered a tunnel.

The lights came on!

Are you okay?

What happened?

My, my food has disappeared!

Your food?

It was first-rate raw octopus with truffle and foie gras demiglace sauce.

Truffle and foie gras!

Those are super fancy ingredients!

Do they taste good?

I don't know. I've never had them.

But they're fancy!

Nice! Fancy!

Even better if it tastes good!

We have to start the investigation!

Yeah!

The food disappeared when we entered the tunnel and it got dark.

It was just a few seconds.

It's impossible to eat a whole octopus in such a short time.

So the culprit must have hidden the octopus somewhere.

Other than the victim, there are three people in the dining car.

One of them is the culprit.

Oh my, something wrong?

Where would this person hide an octopus?

Could you show me that bottle?

Here.

A squishy octopus could squeeze into this bottle.

It's empty.

May I look inside your bag?

Go ahead.

If this person were to hide an octopus, this bag is the only spot.

I found something! An octopus?

A squid?

I just love squid jerky.

Only the waiter left...

Can I be of assistance?

Please lift up this cloche and show me what's inside.

Certainly. Here.

Nothing!

But how? Who did it?

Oh, no! My sleeve is stuck to the table!

Stuck...

-I've got it. -Huh?

The culprit is you!

Why me?

Show me the inside of the cloche again.

Okay.

See? Nothing here.

No, not there.

Show me the inside of the cloche.

Please.

You used the suction cups of the fresh octopus to stick it to the cloche.

Even if you lift it up, you can't see it.

Correct.

-We did it, Mikuru! -Yeah!

You two really know how to entertain!

But how about the next one?

-Let's go! -Yeah!

Gone, gone! It's nowhere to be found!

What's wrong?

While I was napping, my pocket watch went missing.

I had it in my breast pocket.

Someone must have stolen it while you were sleeping.

Yes.

Did I see any suspicious people?

Let me think...

Now that you mention it, three people came near while he was sleeping.

One of those three could be the culprit!

Let's investigate!

Yes, I passed by a man who was sleeping peacefully.

I thought it must be bright, so I shut the curtain for him.
