Conan: The Mechanic

An hour later, in the living room of the Orange House.

Hoshino Kaede sat on a chair and glanced at the dumpling rice in front of him. "not bad..."

"What's your business with us?" Qianyu asked while sitting on the main seat.

"First of all, I need you to remain calm." Hoshino Kaede's hand groped in his pocket, and then quickly dropped to a place where Chiba and Haibara Ai couldn't see. "Secondly, I want to re-introduce myself."

"My code name is Champs-Élysées," Hoshino Kaede said with his other hand hanging on the back of the chair, looking at Haibara Ai. "Miss Sherry."

"!!" A look of consternation appeared on Hai Yuanai's face.

"Don't move," Hoshino Kaede raised the hand holding the gun under the table before Ai Haibara made a move. . "I'm not Icewine, and if you're going to do anything, I don't guarantee your life."

"And my friend," Hoshino Kaede looked at Chiba, who never returned to her senses. "I can finally see you again in this capacity."

Seeing Qianyu's still astonished look, Hoshino Kaede tilted her head and reacted. "Why, don't you fit my face?"

Hoshino Kaede put his hand hanging on the back of the chair into his pocket, took out a human skin mask, and put it on his face.

The face of the Champs-Élysées appeared in front of Qianyu—this was the face of the Champs-Élysées that Qianyu was most familiar with, neither ugly nor ordinary.

"It's really you?" Qian Yu said softly—his voice trembled a little.

"Are you here to catch us back?" Ai Haihara said suddenly.

"?" Chiba and Hoshino Kaede both turned their heads and looked at Haibara Ai.

"I haven't said anything yet, but you brought it up," Hoshino Kaede's mouth twitched slightly. "You're pretty good at making things up, Miss History Inventor."

"..." Haibara pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Inventor of history?" Chiba looked back at Kaede Hoshino.

"Miss Sherry told you that her identity was basically made up - that's why I'm here, and I'm afraid you'll be deceived by her words, so I'm here to tell you. I was arrested by the inspectorate because of the strike," Hoshino Kaede glanced at Haibara Ai's gradually pale face, and said leisurely. "But that very night, Miss Sherry disappeared from the makeshift cell where she was being held."

"Strike?" Qian Yu was stunned.

"Her sister betrayed the organization during one of the organization's missions, swallowed one billion yuan, and was executed by Gin."

"You promised my sister that as long as the mission is completed, the two of us will be allowed to leave the organization, right?" Haibara Ai spoke up—her voice was neither tense nor hesitant, just a desperate decision. . "You perfidious bastards!"

"Your sister is a liar," Hoshino Feng sneered. "She didn't complete the mission at all!"

"Wait a minute, one billion yuan?" Qian Yu suddenly thought of something. "I remember..."

—————— (Chapter 58)

"One billion?" Looking at the newspaper, Qianyu raised her eyebrows. "It's not a small appetite."

The news said that just at noon the day before yesterday, a bank was robbed of 1 billion yuan in banknotes. There were four prisoners in total. Two of the robbers and a bank security guard were shot and killed by the fourth robber the night before. , while the fourth robber committed suicide at the dock yesterday afternoon. The key to the safe containing 1 billion yuan of banknotes on her body has been seized by the police, and the 1 billion yuan has been safely returned to the bank.

————————

"Did the billion yen you seized come from the bank?" Chiba asked suddenly. "I remember that there was a bank robbery just before Hai Yuan got here, right? But it seems that the last billion yen was recovered."

"Yeah, after her sister stole one billion yen, she actually sent the money back." Hoshino Kaede shrugged. "If it wasn't for Gin who wrote a report to explain why they purged Akemi Miyano, I don't know if they actually did something as inefficient as robbing a bank - there's a computer team in the organization that is said to be working on what technology They claim it is likely to be worth more than $10 billion.”

"Ten billion... dollars?" Qian Yu was stunned. "This... Where did they find such a terrifying fortune? If the civil engineering team was going to steal gold from the U.S. treasury from the ground, I would understand, but it's the computer team..."

"I also asked," Hoshino Kaede shrugged. "But they don't say it..."

"Speaking of the computer team, I remembered," Qian Yu suddenly thought of something and said sternly. "You wouldn't have installed eavesdropping equipment in my house, would you? How else would you know we were going to cook dumpling rice?"

"It's not wrong for me to settle down - after all, I just planned to observe from a distance and didn't want to confess to you." Hoshino Kaede nodded. "But you didn't think about it, I'm not the only one who installed a bug in you!"

"What?" Qian Yu frowned. "Has anyone else installed it?"

"You have a monitor installed by this Miss Sherry in your workshop. UU reading www.uukanshu.com." Hoshino Kaede looked at Qianyu with the eyes of a fool. "How do you think she'd be right behind you when you were comparing her fingerprints? Of course it's because she's looking at your screen through the monitor, so she knows what you're doing. . . . Give me some time and I'll take out all the electronic surveillance equipment in your house."

. . .

Ten minutes later, Qianyu felt that her home was like a sieve.

"I won't talk about those bugs," Chiba complained with the equipment Hoshino Kaede took out from all corners of the room. "But what's the matter with this camera and this black box? The size of these two is not the same size as those bugs, right? How did you and that guy hide such a big thing - wait a minute, no Did you do something to the main structure of my house and stuff this big guy inside?"

"Do you remember that your new handmade computer was custom made on the dark web? That's what I did—although the publisher ID on the dark web is modified, a person's ID doesn't change after modification. , so I can recognize you. You posted the extra task of transporting the computer to your house there, so I can find your address." Hoshino Kaede spread his hands. "This black box was hidden in the computer case by me, and it is impossible for you to find it, and the monitor itself can run smoothly with the 800V voltage provided by the eight fire wire power supply required by this manual computer. As I said, the normal voltage of neon is 100V, and some electrical appliances use 200V voltage for connecting two live wires)”

"As for the camera, this lady put it on the top of the bookcase, because she used a book to cover up the camera with a ghillie suit, so you didn't find it."
