Conan: The Mechanic

"The car..." Following Qianyu's murmur, the group quickly reacted, waving their hands on the side of the road, attracting the car's attention. The off-road vehicle really saw them and stopped slowly beside them. This is an off-road vehicle with two rows of seats and a trunk, with the words "Kubo Ryokan" written on the side.

"Ryokan Kubo?" Chiba raised her eyebrows. There are words like this, indicating that the car is the hotel's vehicle. The presence of the hotel car here clearly indicates that the Kubo Hotel is likely to be located at the end of the road.

"Need help?" A thin man rolled down the car window and looked at the few people on the side of the road. "Um... old gentleman, your feet?"

"Our car broke down because the fuel ran out, so we walked forward together to find out if anyone could stay overnight or refuel, but he sprained his foot," Qianyu explained.

"As for oil, I don't have oil pumping equipment here, and I don't have oil reserves, so I can't provide it. But... stay overnight?" The man got out of the car and came to Dr. A Li's side. "Then take my car. There is a Kubo hotel a few kilometers ahead. The service is very good. How about taking my car and taking a rest there?"

"Yes," Qianyu agreed directly—if she disagrees, there is a possibility that the other side will refuse to carry her. "However, can you help us get the Doctor into the car!"

"Okay." The man nodded, put Dr. A Li's hand around the back of his neck, and lifted Dr. A Li up. "Everyone, put your things in the trunk."

"I think..." After putting her belongings in the trunk, Qianyu frowned as she looked at Dr. Li who was struggling to move forward with support. "This is not the way, I'm afraid it needs to be bandaged."

"No conditions," Conan shook his head. "There are no strips here, and we can't wrap it up. Leaving the doctor's feet in the air is probably the best thing we can do right now."

"This car is not too big, there is no room for the doctor's feet to hang in the air..." Qian Yu spread her hands. "Oh yes, maybe if the doctor is half-recumbent on the seat... we can sit directly in the storage area at the back."

"There is enough space in the storage area, but there are still more than ten minutes to the hotel. Can you hold on?" The man was a little embarrassed.

"Yes!" Then, the children's unanimous shouts answered him.

. . .

On the dirt road, the off-road vehicle was speeding.

"Thank you for your help—" Conan was about to thank him, but suddenly remembered something. "Brother, what's your name?"

"Umesaki Tadao, 26 years old... By the way," the man asked curiously while introducing himself. "Why did you come here? It's not a convenient place to travel in all directions? Why did you drive here?"

"We originally came from Tokyo to catch stag beetles from the mountains here," Conan explained helplessly. "I don't know why, but I drove here when I came back."

"To catch stag beetles?" The man was stunned for a while, then said after thinking about it. "Then you're going the other way... This is a small mountain village... If you go back to Tokyo, you should take another route."

"Brother, what is your occupation?" Qianyu asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Tadao was stunned. "What's wrong?"

"Isn't Brother Tadao a staff member of the Kubo Hotel?" Mitsuhiko asked in surprise.

"The staff of the Kubo Hotel? Haha..." Tadao's words paused slightly, and then laughed. "No! My job is actually a treasure hunter!"

"I see..." Under Conan's slightly stunned gaze, Qianyu calmly put a small cylinder with a metallic head and red body back into a sack in the storage area - if he wasn't a treasure hunter If this kind of occupation usually applies for a shotgun license, I am afraid that the two of them will sound the red alarm for Tadao at the first time. Because this small cylinder is actually a standard shotgun shell, the metallic color is actually the warhead part, and the red is the shell.

"Here," Tadao reminded everyone to look at him. "Heiyuan Village Hot Spring Village."

In the sight of everyone, a village with buildings standing on both sides of the road appeared.

Ghost town, this is the first impression that appeared in Qianyu's heart, just like Pripyat (the town next to Chernobyl, can be understood as the family city of Chernobyl workers, Chernobyl Soon after the nuclear accident, it was completely evacuated by the Soviet military), a ghost town full of buildings but deserted. Because although the buildings in this village are row upon row, there is not a single person in sight. . .

Wait a moment. . . Pripyat. . . Chiba's expression was a little subtle. If it says there. . .

. . . Memories. . .

On December 28, 1993, at a checkpoint near Pripyat ~www.readwn.com~ Chiba in black three-proof suit thanked him in English through the walkie-talkie on the chemical suit, while taking two rolls of US dollars. Handed it to the two Ukrainian soldiers in front of me - after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the complementary economic systems of the various republics were destroyed, and the economy fell into a serious recession. At a time like this, a wad of $10,000 bills is everything to impoverished Ukrainian soldiers.

"Good-luck." A Ukrainian soldier congratulated after kissing the banknotes. The military personnel who are patrolling here and may appear at any time will definitely make the infiltrator in front of him drink a pot.

"Let's go." Qianyu walked out of the checkpoint and said to another man wearing a full three-proof suit.

"Finally done..." The man moved his muscles and bones and sighed with emotion to Qianyu who came out. "I'm in the city, I'm in the city, I'm going to play here!"

"Come on," Qian Yu frowned. "Our supplies are not abundant, we only have two days of drinking water. Hurry up and finish the task!"

"I know," the man put away his playful tone and said solemnly. "Our mission this time is to investigate the buildings here, right?"

"Not only the buildings here, but also the underground civil air defense project and the coffin." Qian Yu replied. "You and I have radiation reading meters on me. Just walk around here and you can measure and record nuclear radiation data."

"Is your mission to measure the nuclear-proof capabilities of various buildings?" The man asked with raised eyebrows.

"Hello..." Qianyu's tone became very serious. "The task needs to be kept secret. Although it's no big deal to tell you in theory, if I tell you something in person, then I'll be derelict. So, don't bring up this kind of issue."

"Champs Elysees."
