Conan: The Mechanic

Chapter 19: - Did I kill them?

"Have you met a gangster?" The next morning, when Chiba heard Ayumi and the others' narration, she pretended to be stunned. "That curator hid the drugs and was all robbed?"

"Well," Conan said solemnly. "If I hadn't taken them to hide, our lives would have been lost."

"How many people died?" Qian Yu frowned. In his impression, people on the dark web should be out around the clock and try to avoid acting when there are people. How could it be this time?

"No one died, just us in the library." Mitsuhiko said speechlessly.

"Just a few of you?" Qian Yu was surprised.

"It was night," Conan explained. "We were looking for hidden bodies in the library."

"The corpse... where is it?"

"It's at the top of the elevator in the library. Wait, did you realize it?" Conan was halfway through, and suddenly realized the hidden meaning in Chiba's words.

"There is a stench," Qianyu nodded. "Especially when the elevator is going up, so I guess the body is bound to the elevator, especially maybe on top of the elevator, otherwise I should have smelled a bit stronger when the elevator was coming down. taste."

"Okay..." Conan was speechless. "You're really a dog nose..."

"Everyone," Mitsuhiko looked at the calendar on the wall and suddenly said expectantly. "You guys look at the calendar, it looks like there's going to be a great vacation!"

"Ah?" Qianyu and Conan were stunned for a moment, then looked at the May calendar that Mitsuhiko had turned to - today is April 28, and it has already appeared on the May calendar.

Ah, it seems like it's Golden Week!

Sure enough, after school, the teacher announced the school's next holiday plan.

April 29, Showa Day, is a holiday.

May 3, Constitution Day, holiday.

May 4th Green Day, holiday.

May 5 Children's Day, holiday.

Saturday, May 7th, holiday.

May 8, holiday.

The Japanese constitution stipulates that two festivals that are one day apart or adjacent to each other need to make up one day in the middle or before and after, so there is still a make up holiday between these four holidays.

April 30th to make up the holiday 1.

May 1st to make up vacation 2.

May 2 to make up the holiday 3.

May 6 to make up the holiday 4.

In this way, the 10 days from April 29 to May 8 are all holidays. This holiday is definitely the longest in these years.

. . .

"Going out to play?" Qian Yu raised her eyebrows. "this holiday?"

"Well," Mitsuhiko said excitedly. "Dr. Akasa has a friend who works as an engineer at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. This year is the 15th year since the No. 2 reactor he was in charge of, so they decided to hold a party on May 1 and invited Dr. Akasa, so Dr. Li took the five of us there too."

"Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant?" Chiba hesitated. "But I have something to do this holiday..."

"What's the matter?" Ayumi looked like "If you don't go, I will cry and show you".

"I need to find a retired agency expert to ask some questions about the agency." Qian Yu looked helpless.

"A master of organs?" Yuan was too curious. "Is it some kind of powerful god?"

"It's not a god, but it's almost there," Qian Yu chuckled lightly. "Ifukube Nohisa, a senior government official who lived in seclusion 20 years ago, he was given the nickname "Yoshiemon""

"Where is that expert, can't we stop by?" Conan asked.

"A small town, it should be in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture..."

"Tochigi Prefecture?" Conan was speechless. "Then it's a little bit south of Fukushima, and it's completely easy to cut along the way!"

"Oh, is that so... Qianyu is really not familiar with this kind of detailed geography. "Then I'll go with you, but leave me a day to go to that town!" "

"It should be fine," Mitsuhiko suddenly remembered something. "I suddenly remembered, it seems that it will be the very famous Goddess Chaiji festival in Ashikaga City soon!"

"Cha Yiji?" Yuan Tai was stunned. "what is that?"

"Hmm—" Mitsuhiko thought for a while and replied. "Yesterday's storybook about myths and legends mentioned the goddess Chaiji, who is said to be the local protector of Ashikaga. Her predecessor was... um, her predecessor was..."

"The predecessor was a girl who wandered here. She protected this place with the power that the gods appreciated her and gave her. After successfully protecting the place, she died and was worshipped as a **** by the local residents." Conan added.

"Well, is there eel rice at the festival?" Yuan Tai's sudden question distorted the topic of discussion.

"Uh, there shouldn't be any..." Mitsuhiko had a black line on his face.

"Maybe..." Conan hesitated. "If I remember correctly, Ashikaga City believes in Shaiji, so many shops will bring their favorite works to the festival."

"It's probably like this... Ah, you all go back first, I'll dodge first." Qian Yu said halfway, suddenly remembered something, and said quickly.

"What's the matter," Mitsuhiko looked unhappy. "Why don't you always go to the same place with us, Chiba!"

"I can't do anything about it," Qianyu said, pointing to a furniture store not far away. "I ordered a piece of furniture here. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com wants them to be delivered to my house. We made an appointment to lead the way today."

. . .

"Huh?" When Qianyu walked into the furniture store, she immediately felt something was wrong.

"Children," behind the counter, a middle-aged man was kind. "Who are you looking for?"

"Where's your store manager?" Qian Yu asked with a frown. "I ordered a special wooden cabinet from him two months ago and he told me to come here and pick it up today."

"Hiraro he..." The middle-aged man's kind expression instantly froze, and then he sighed. "Let's not talk about that. If you have a special wooden cabinet, please state your item number. However, did you really order it? Is your child the 'Mr. Tachibana' who ordered it..."

"Item No. 729, this is the bill of lading, my name is Tachibana Chiyu, what happened to the store manager?" Chiyu felt that something was wrong, slapped the bill of lading on the counter, and asked.

"729! Oh, 729...So you ordered it..." The middle-aged man was very excited at first, but at the end he muttered sullenly. The voice began to speak.

"Twenty days ago, when Hirao and his wife retrieved Your Excellency's No. 729 cargo, an imported wooden cabinet from the port, and drove back in a car," the middle-aged man tried his best to keep his voice steady, But Chiba could still hear the sadness in it. "Crushed by a big drunk driving truck."

Qianyu blankly listened to the middle-aged man's narration, then stretched out her hands and stared blankly at her palms.

Did I hurt them? Although subjectively this is not my responsibility, objectively I am indeed their murderer. Did I kill innocent people?

In a trance, the palm of his hand seemed to be full of blood.
