Conan: The Mechanic

Fifteen minutes later, Conan and the others, the old lady who was **** with five flowers, and the gardener who was ritually bound by a rope (the rope was tied by himself) were all waiting outside the portrait of the removed master.

With the sound of stepping on the railing, Qianyu appeared at the entrance of the secret passage in the portrait with a complex face.

"Is there a problem with the treasure inside?" Haibara Ai looked at Qian Yu's strange expression and asked quickly.

"..." Qianyu looked at Haibara Ai and sighed. "It's nothing...just a little sad..."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.

"The end of the secret passage inside is a wall brick that can be opened to the outside - you can see the whole manor when you look out. There is also such a passage engraved on the wall brick..."

"I will give this castle and this beautiful scenery-that is, my most cherished wealth to the first person who comes here."

"What..." The old lady wilted as if her mental support had been broken in an instant. "This is impossible..."

"You don't deserve this treasure, because you are too far away from the eldest master," Qian Yu said lightly, leaning against the wall. "Your miserable mind corrupted by money is simply not qualified to accept this gift."

"What the **** am I doing this for..." The old lady covered her face and cried bitterly. "I have worked hard here for more than ten years, and I have turned my face into this unremarkable appearance..."

Qianyu closed her eyes slightly and shook her head.

Pain for its grief, hate for its greed.

At this moment, the first rays of sunshine appeared in the east.

. . .

The refilled Beetle drove smoothly on the highway.

Chiba pressed the stop watch in her hand, then opened her eyes. "is acceptable..."

The stopwatch showed 29 seconds2.

They were playing a game of stopping the watch for 30 seconds—a game in which they closed their eyes and made an estimate to see who could time the 30 seconds more accurately.

"Here you are." Qianyu gave the stopwatch to Conan beside him.

"It's my turn," Conan took the stopwatch and started the game. "...28, 29, 30!"

"..." Qianyu shrugged. "not bad."

"27 seconds..." Conan pouted. "It's a lot worse than you and Hai Yuanai's grades..."

Ayumi, who was sitting next to Conan and next to the car door, also took the stop watch and started counting blindly.

"Are we going to the Twin Towers of Nishitama?" Conan asked Dr. Agasa.

"Yes," Dr. Agsa replied. "This just-built building is the No. 1 twin towers in Japan! It's a big loss if you don't look at it!"

"30!" With a shout, Ayumi pressed the stop meter and opened her eyes, followed by a surprise cheer. "what!"

"!!!" Chiba and Conan were dumbfounded when they saw the time on the stop watch.

30:00! Every second is not bad! ! !

"Scary..." A rare expression of surprise appeared on Haibara Ai's face. "Is it that accurate?"

"It's like having a supernatural ability..." Mitsuhiko also praised after seeing the stop watch.

"Where is it..." Ayumi smiled shyly.

. . .

Under the Nishitama Twin Towers.

"It's so tall!" Yuan Tai exclaimed.

"You can't see the top floor at all!" Mitsuhiko said in surprise.

"These two buildings are really too high..." Qianyu raised her eyebrows.

"If there is a fire, it's impossible to escape safely in such a place..." Haibara frowned. "Compared to its height, the building is too skinny and likely not sufficiently resistant to disasters."

"Resistance?" Ayumi asked, tilting her head.

"..." Haibara Ai gave Qianyu a wink.

"Resistance in various aspects," Chiba explained. "For example, for such a tall building, the limit of an ordinary fire truck's ability to reach 20 floors is the limit, and there is no way to deal with the higher floors, so the building can only design water storage equipment such as high-rise water storage tanks. To put out the fire - the water at the bottom cannot be pumped up because it is too high. In addition, when the fire escapes, the floor is too high and it takes a long time to escape. During this period, the stairs are easily occupied by flames, resulting in There is no way for the living to escape... let alone whether such a slender body can survive a massive earthquake..."

Just then, a taxi stopped beside them. When Conan saw the person in the car window, he showed a strange expression. "Big... uncle?"

Mori Kogoro, Mori Ran, and Suzuki Sonoko are getting out of the taxi.

"Conan?" Mao Lilan asked in amazement after seeing the confused Conan. "How will you be here?"

"Why are you brats here?" Kogoro Mouri asked in surprise.

"We came here to see after we went to Hakone to soak in the hot springs," Conan replied. "How about you guys?"

"Uh... The owner of this building, Ms. Tokiwa Mio of the Tokiwa Foundation, was my junior in college, so I specially invited me to experience it before the inauguration ceremony next week!"

"I've never heard about it from my uncle before!" Conan was surprised.

"Even I don't know!" Mao Lilan spread his hands. "In the end, I still think it's very strange. I forced my father to know about this!"

"That's why ~www.readwn.com~ Conan said. "Did Sister Xiaolan come here to monitor Uncle? "

"Yes, yes!" Suzuki Sonoko nodded. "Because Miss Tokiwa Mio is the daughter and chairman of the Tokiwa Foundation. Not only is she beautiful and has a prominent position, but she is still single now! For Lan whose parents are separated, it's normal to be worried, right?"

While they were chatting, a young woman came over. "Is Mr. Kogoro Mouri there?"

"Ah?" Kogoro Mori was stunned for a while before he reacted. "I'm Maori Kogoro."

"I am the secretary of Chairman Tokiwa. My name is Zekou. Because the chairman is receiving guests, the chairman asked me to show you here."

. . .

A group of people took the elevator and moved up.

"Is the second floor a display area..." Qian Yu murmured while looking at the sign on the second floor. "Is it all stuff from the Tokiwa Foundation?"

"Yes!" Zeguchi explained. "Although only the parts below the 30th floor are leased to companies in need at high prices, the second and third floors were deliberately reserved by the Tokiwa Consortium, and they are full of various exhibits."

"I remember that the Tokiwa Consortium was mainly involved in computers?" Mitsuhiko suddenly remembered something.

"Yes," Qianyu nodded. "It seems that part of the hardware optimization in the previous 'Cocoon' game was outsourced to the Tokiwa Consortium."

At this moment, the second floor arrived.

"..." The two people standing in the exhibition area who were chatting in low voices looked towards this side together - one of them even set his eyes on Qianyu.

"!!!" Chiba's expression was as if he had seen a ghost—because he was looking at him, Hoshino Kaede, whose expression also looked like he had seen a ghost!
