Conan: The Mechanic

"Mr. Mori," Watanabe Police Department Bu, who had seen him before, saw Kogoro Mori rushing over, and immediately came forward to meet him. "No, the police we just went to look for Yamao told us that in the early hours of the morning, a mysterious person called the front desk of the hotel where Yamao lived and asked them to tell a person named [Shanwei] that he was at 8:00 in the morning. Meet at location A. Just a few minutes later, Yamao showed up there dressed as an expedition and got this from them. Then he disappeared, no word yet - we tried calling Contacted him, but also got no response!"

"Yamao went out for an unknown person?" Kogoro Mouri was taken aback. "Can you tell if the other party is male or female?"

"Male," Watanabe replied immediately. "It's a male voice!"

"..." Kogoro Mouri felt that things were not very good. "This... have you tried to contact other people? Especially that Muto."

"Everyone else can be reached, but Muto is missing," Watanabe's expression was a little annoyed. "We were going to contact him last night to ask about something, but we couldn't get in touch with him by then."

"Have you tried to find him directly at his workplace on the mountain?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

"We..." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Watanabe's face. "To be honest, our current manpower is concentrated on the transportation of the bodies they found on the snow-capped mountains before - everything that has happened so far has not yet reached the criminal category, so we can only focus on the existing , and two corpses that have been lying in the wilderness for more than a day. So... in fact, this is the reason why I want to come to you."

Having said this, he looked at Mouri Kogoro with a somewhat embarrassed look.

"What do you mean?" Mouri Kogoro asked with a slightly uneasy look, realizing that Watanabe might want to ask for something strange.

"Well, can I ask you to go to the hut where Takeda lives?" After speaking, Watanabe looked at Kogoro Mouri tentatively, with a slightly uneasy expression.

"..." Kogoro Mori sighed and nodded in resignation. "Okay... For the sake of being a criminal police officer myself, I'll help you once - in the future, you can solve this trivial problem by yourself."

Having said that, Mouri Kogoro didn't pay much attention to Watanabe's emotions, turned around and left on his own.

What did these stinky boys think? It actually entrusted private people to face potential risks in such a critical situation. Mu Mu sometimes asks himself to do things, all because of the friendship between brothers to help each other, but he is not familiar with this kid at all.

But... the other party has already spoken, and it is not appropriate for me not to help, so let's do it.

But before I go there, I must bring Yingri and two good-headed little devils with me... Although it is unlikely that anything particularly outrageous happens, but according to the information currently available to the police, Yamao has a shotgun license, and If he disappeared, the shotgun he was holding could be acquired by someone else.

……

"So far?" Chiyu frowned after hearing the police news from Kogoro Mouri, and hearing Kogoro Mouri's request that they could accompany him to Muto's side to investigate. "This...a trip back and forth will take at least three hours, right?"

"We can drive there," Kudo Shinichi reminded. "Actually, the hill where Muto lives is far away in a straight line, but the mountain has a highway that directly connects to the road out of Kitazawa Village, so it's fine to drive there."

"Is there a road?" Chiba's first reaction was that she felt a little strange. "The deceased glacier...wasn't he found on a mountain between the village and Muto's studio? In other words, he walked back and forth? It's illogical!"

"It's also possible that I drove there, but because I was attacked, I couldn't drive, so I could only escape into the dense forest and try to walk back to the village." Kudo Shin spread his hands. "You reminded me, if this case is really related to Muto, we should be able to find the car that Yamao and Bingshan took when they returned to Kitanosawa Village near his residence."

"..." Qianyu thought for a moment. "That... In fact, the two of you will be able to deal with the dangers you may encounter, right? I have a guess now, and I want to study it. It is different from yours."

"..." Mori Kogoro frowned slightly, and glanced at Qianyu somewhat unexpectedly - this child is not the kind of temperament that likes to run away, if he does not choose to participate at this time, it is probably because he has another kind of heart. He is more convinced of the possibility, and does not think that Kogoro himself can achieve any meaningful investigation results.

If that's the case, let him go, maybe the one he prefers is the truth?

……

10 minutes later, in another hotel.

After swiping the room card in the identification slot, Qian Yu, who had put on shoe covers~www.readwn.com~ and gloves, pushed open the door.

This is the room where Yamao, who is currently missing, lives. It is right next to the room of Mr. Hikawa, who has been found dead. Chiba is here to check if there is anything strange in his room.

After Kogoro Mouri told him his destination, he already believed that there must be nothing there.

The reason is very simple: the distance from there to here is no more than 10 kilometers, and his 2G signal network can completely cover this distance. On that mountain bag, the base station of the auxiliary unit did not retrieve any working mobile phone at all.

And after confirming another news with the police just now, Chiyu's conjecture was confirmed.

The police told Chiyu Muto's mobile phone number, which Chiyu had seen before: on the morning when Mr. Glacier's body was found by them, the phone was in the dense forest next to the body. And even now, it's still in place.

If it doesn't mean that Mr. Muto lost his mobile phone at night and was unaware, it can only be another explanation - he died like Mr. Hikawa, and he died in a jungle like that A place where no one can find it at all.

At present, there are three people involved in this matter, but the glacier is dead, and Muto does not seem to be alive. Under such circumstances, the most likely thing to control the whole situation is naturally...

The moment he pushed open the door of the room where Yamao lived, Chiba's brows furrowed: his auxiliary unit had issued a detection warning for [2,4-dinitrotoluene].

In other words, there used to be TNT here.

As expected of an ex-prisoner who hit and killed someone... He played such a big game as soon as he shot.
