Conan: The Mechanic

"By the way, what does a stag beetle look like?" Chiba asked Conan when he got off the school bus.

"Huh?" Conan was a little surprised. "Haven't you caught stag beetles?"

"I haven't caught it, what's wrong?" Qian Yu frowned.

"You actually haven't caught stag beetles?" Yuan Tai's voice was also extremely surprised. "is that a lie?"

"Really?" Ayumi also joined the ranks of surprise.

"I'm not interested in bugs..." Qianyu was a little surprised by the reaction of Yuanta and Ayumi. "Any questions?"

"Forget it," Conan smiled and shook his head. "Then let us take you to see the wonderful world of insects!"

"Everyone~" Sumiko Kobayashi greeted everyone with a smile and started today's main content. "Stag beetle hunt, start!"

"Yo!!!" Everyone responded in unison except for Conan, Haibara Ai, and Chiha.

. . .

In the woods.

"Qianyu, give me the wine," Conan took the stockings that Ayumi gave him, and motioned to Qianyu to bring out the cheap wine. "I'll tell you how to catch stag beetles."

"Here..." Qianyu quickly took the wine out of her bag and handed it to Conan. "This is a bottle-cap type of plain wine, just unscrew the bottle cap directly."

"Well, okay." Conan unscrewed the lid of the wine and poured some into the stockings.

"Hello..." Qianyu was surprised when she saw Conan's actions. "It'll leak out—huh?"

"No," Conan replied with a smile. "These stockings are breathable and impermeable, and alcohol won't leak out."

"Your knowledge really seems to have a strange depth in strange aspects..." Qianyu raised her eyebrows.

"..." Conan squinted, then pulled the stockings open. "Cough... Let's continue to catch the stag beetles... Chiba, put the bananas aside and throw them into the socks. If you can, break the bananas into small pieces."

"Uh..." Qian Yu hesitated for a moment, then took out a tissue from her backpack and placed it on top of a grass. Then I took the banana out, pushed it aside, broke it with my hands, and put it into the stockings. "It feels disgusting..." After doing all this, Chiyu immediately wiped her hands with a tissue on the grass.

"Stag beetles are insects and naturally like sweets," Conan closed the stockings, and then used a dead knot to fasten the stockings to a lower branch. "Broken bananas have more sugar than normal bananas, and the wine itself is also rich in sugar. So this combination can be very effective in attracting insects. The reason for using stockings is also because this material does not make The wine flows out, and the flavors come out.”

"This way we can trap stag beetles?" Qianyu asked curiously, smelling the sweet smell.

"We'll find out after an hour or so." Conan looked at his masterpiece and said confidently. "Now, we can wait here first. I brought the cards, do you want to come and play?"

. . .

"Let's get another one..." Qianyu looked at the cards in her hand and said after thinking about it.

They are now playing blackjack with two decks (a point game. At first everyone will be dealt one up and one down, and then everyone can decide whether to draw or not. 10-K counts as 10 , A is recorded as 1 point or 11 points. The person with the most points and no more than 21 points wins.), and now, the two cards in Chiba's hand are 7 points and 9 points respectively.

Qianyu glanced at the third card she had drawn, but said nothing, just looked at Haibara Ai who was going to act next.

"No more." Haiyuan Ai glanced at his card and shook his head.

Next, Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Conan all made a choice about whether to draw cards. Until the end, everyone lost the idea of ​​drawing cards.

"I burst," Yuanta showed all his three cards, which were 10, 8 and K - his points were too large and burst. "How unlucky!"

"My points seem to be a little too small..." Mitsuhiko was ashamed and showed his four cards - 2, 4, 3, 5, there were only 14 points in total, and such cards were obviously not enough to win.

"My luck seems to be good," Ayumi showed her hand - 7, 3, K, a total of 20 points. "It's just a smidge away from 21 o'clock!"

"I'm not very good at playing this, because my luck has not been very good." Conan showed his 18-point hand with a wry smile.

"It seems that compared to the skill of arithmetic," Haibara Ai's voice was not lost, but it contained a little self-deprecation, showing all the cards in hand - 16 points composed of two 8s. "The most important thing in blackjack is luck. The whole deck is now a small hand, but it's still not small enough, so I don't dare to ask for any more cards."

"But calculation is also very important." Qianyu smiled and showed the two hidden cards in his hand - Qianyu had 7 and 9 at the beginning, and the third card he drew was a 5, so his The points are exactly 21 points. "Haihara, I'm not sure which card counting method you are using, but if you really memorize all the points accurately, then you will find that there is still a slight difference between card counting and card counting. "

"Have you memorized all the cards you've played?" Ai Haibara was a little surprised.

"Yeah," Qianyu nodded. "Although if you use card counting, you will often come to the conclusion that this is a slightly smaller deck. But if I guess correctly, you start with a 16-point card like me, and you can draw at most one. 5, right?"

"Yeah." Hai Yuanai nodded.

"General card counting methods define 2-6 as low cards~www.readwn.com~ to K as high cards. In the case of 16 points, A can also be defined as low cards. The cards just played are very special, Because all 8 6s have been drawn, and there is still a certain amount of ace, 2, 3, 4 and 5. In other words, the high and low cards of the whole deck do not accurately reflect the bust probability at this time. So I only Dare to play."

"Counting cards will make the whole game boring..." Conan pouted.

"Uh..." Qian Yu was slightly embarrassed, then shrugged. "All I can say is that card counting has become a habit of mine... a subconscious kind."

"Hello..." Mitsuhiko's attention was not focused on the game, but on the purpose of their coming here. "Stag beetle!"

Everyone turned their heads, and sure enough, they saw a few beetles with dark bodies and two long, pincer-like tentacles sticking out of their heads on the stockings.

"Is this the stag beetle?" Qianyu walked to the stockings and looked curiously at the insect she had never seen before.

"Yes," Conan said, taking a stag beetle off the stockings and placing it in front of Qianyu, only ten centimeters away from Qianyu. "Let's watch it~~"

"Ugh!" Qianyu's exclamation came from the jungle.

"Are you so timid?" Conan's mocking voice.

"I think so," said Haibara Ai's playful voice. "Actually, our Mr. Tachibana Chiha is not good at dealing with emergencies, right?"

Author: Well, in fact, Qianyu is used to thinking about everything, and once something unexpected happens, his psychological quality will be very poor. So he was more easily frightened than Conan and the others, and even more than the average child.
