Conan: The Mechanic

At the same time, the police headquarters

[Have you heard from President Azhiba? ] - Kudo Shinichi

[I received it, so you also received it? 】--Hattori Heiji

"He also received it." Standing beside Kudo Shinichi, Qianyu pouted. "So, President Azhibo called the three of us at the same time?"

"Yes, I just don't know if I have contacted anyone else." Kudo Shinichi withdrew from Hattori Heiji's news and turned to the previous one.

[About the death of Toshiya Yajima and others, I hope to be able to talk frankly with you all—I will have no reservations, and I will guarantee that you will be absolutely satisfied with the truth. Therefore, I also hope that you will arrive at Satsuki-do in Achiha Athletic Park at 3 pm. ] - Kensuke Achiha

This kind of tone is really very concerning, because the previous President Achiha's tone is now...want to plead guilty?

[Then let's go find him now? ] - Kudo Shinichi

[Come quickly, I'm already here. When you arrive, come to me first, and then we will meet together] - Hattori Heiji

"Huh?" Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. "Ah... So that's the case. Then again, Xiaolan should be there too, right?"

"Yeah, after all, today is the Gaoyue Cup match, they must be watching the match there." The corners of Qianyu's mouth twitched. "Then... shall we go too?"

"Um."

……

At 1:45 in the afternoon, Achiha Athletic Park, outside the pond below where Satsukido hangs.

"..." Looking at the Satsuki-do, which stands tall in the pond and rests on the side of the cliff, Qianyu's expression was a little uneasy.

Like Kudo Shinichi, he received a text message, but unlike Kudo Shinichi, the content of the text message he received was completely different.

[Dear Mr. Tachibana Chiba, after the recommendation of Momiji, I hope to get a chance to talk with you in detail. Please arrive at Satsukido an hour before the others - I hope you can be reserved with your companions] - Kensuke Achiha

Therefore, while Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji were still at the game, waiting for the news that Kazuha won the 8-in-4 game, Chiba came to Satsukido alone.

In the pond, there is a wooden boat, and a person sits quietly on the boat - that person wears a hat that hides his face, but Chiba still knows him.

"President Azhiba," addressing the other party like this, Qianyu stepped forward. "It's an honor to see you again."

"I'm here, I'm glad to see you alone," President Azhiba just waved his hand and motioned for Qianyu to get on the boat. "Sit down, I have something to talk to you over there."

"Okay..." Using the auxiliary unit to scan President Achiha's body, after confirming that he did not have any obvious traces of weapons, Chiba got on the boat. "To be honest, they found out that I came here alone to see you. It took me a lot of effort to get them to restrain their movements, and they didn't come with me."

In this way, Qianyu gave herself a layer of protection—even if President Achiha wanted to kill him here, it would be impossible to prevent her identity from being exposed.

He may be a little suspicious, but... even someone like Qianyu who has a seamless umbrella and a bulletproof vest is definitely not a madman who is not afraid of death, and he will still worry about his own safety after all.

However, President Achiba didn't seem to care about the meaning at all, just smiled like a generous elder, and then slashed the wood pulp tied to the stern. "Be careful, we're setting sail now."

Chiba sat down on the bow seat, looked at Achiha's hands who were operating the oars, and said nothing.

"My insurance company told me that the insurance program of the Satsuki card has been frozen, and we still need to wait for the next stage of the investigation of the police headquarters to complete before continuing." President Azhiba said casually. "Although they are speaking in very formal Mandarin, but... I think your actions should be indispensable, right?"

"Uh..." Qian Yu was a little embarrassed.

"Don't be too shy, you are detectives, and the purpose is to find out the truth." President Achiha's voice was slightly smiling. "I will tell you a lot of things today, and I will talk about a lot of things that you can't deduce the results by yourself. So, at least for now, you can forget your identity as a detective, and let me have a drink with you, and drink a lot. Drunk, I said a few words after drinking, you should just laugh when you hear it.

"Besides, you don't have to worry that I will escape the law or something. Today, I will give an explanation to Yajima and the others for their deaths, and shoulder the responsibilities that I should bear."

In this way, the boat moved slowly in the lake, approaching the pier directly below the tower where Satsukido is located in the center of the lake.

……

Twenty minutes later, Achiha Athletic Park, conference room.

"President..." A staff member is calling out Ooka Hongye who is standing in front of the window in a soft voice~www.readwn.com~ Although it is a bit offensive, let me remind you at the scene that it should be the president of previous years. Time to go to the venue to watch the battle. President Achiha gave way to you today, and you have caused the chairperson to be absent for too long. It would be rude to drag it on. "

"Well, I see." Ooka Hongye nodded lightly. "I'll be there right away, so they don't have to worry too much."

"Understood." The staff gave a salute and then left the room.

"..." Ooka Hongye pursed her lips and looked at the Azhibo Club outside the window, her eyes a little uneasy.

She is not a seasoned manager, and she is qualitatively different from someone like President Achiha who founded Achiha Real Estate from scratch. She is not an otherworldly wise man, and she is far from a master decision-making master like Qianyu who can often remain rational even when she is most impulsive.

She is just an ordinary rich girl who can play some songs and has a little money at home.

But now, she is forced to take on such a difficult responsibility, and a slight negligence may cause irreparable damage to the existing achievements of the Satsuki Society brought by President Achiha.

It would be great if there was someone who could help me... Although those seniors can, too, but as the president, I can't always respectfully ask them for guidance. The person who can ask for help should preferably be someone who is smarter than himself, and has sufficient experience... At the same time, it is best that everyone is about the same age, and they will not be like those seniors who are seniors. See yourself as a child—in short, a friend who can talk to you on an equal footing and give solid advice.

When thinking of this, a figure flashed in his mind for no reason, but then disappeared.
