[A classic locked-room murder, except not really. The fact that it's a whole train notwithstanding, there's no telling at what point the food was poisoned... Because of course he's heard about the "how" by now. What with Rinne being so loud about it, even when he refuses to say it to HiMERU's face.]
Then assuming he had been targeted, the culprit would have to be someone on the train at the time of the murder, someone previously on the train or otherwise in contact with the conductor or his belongings, or the conductor himself. Naturally, the last is the least likely, but not impossible.
They say that upwards of 75% of murders are committed by someone acquainted with the victim. By tentatively ruling out that this was a random crime, suicide, or a freak accident, there should be a motive.
If, by killing the conductor one had thought the passengers might be rescued from their undue fates — Well. HiMERU certainly does not need to explain how well that went.
If not that, then... perhaps an act of revenge. Punishment executed for his transgressions, whether or not they pertained to his role in bringing you here.
