Conan: The Mechanic

"There was no sound," Officer Mumu said. "Mr. Hojima, can you explain how anyone can get out of this apartment quickly without making any noise?"

"I don't know, I...I..." Hojima said incoherently. "But that's not what I did!"

"If I remember the location, I can't make any noise." Qian Yu frowned. "If you don't believe me..."

With that said, Chiyu glanced at the route from where he was to the door. "You can close the door and turn off the lights. I'll show you that it works."

After thinking about it, Officer Mumu walked to the door and turned off the light. "You try it."

As the lights went out, the corners of Qianyu's mouth twitched slightly—a mere path memory of this level was not worth mentioning to him.

The path code stored in the memory area is "R2Z6C2E3Y5S3", which means. . .

First, R2. . .

Chiba's retina flashed a one-third circle with 9 arrows evenly marked on it - U, V, W, X, A, B, C, D, E

Chiba turned her head to the left, and the letters on the circle began to rotate to the right in sync. Every time he turned a certain amount, one letter on the right disappeared and another appeared on the left.

The E disappears, and the T appears on the far left of the third circle.

D disappeared and S appeared.

This is one of the functions of the auxiliary unit - the path compass, this compass will evenly distribute the twenty-four letters from A to X on the 360-degree bearing, so that one letter bit can be used to effectively represent the bearing, and the letter The following numbers refer to the length of a few standard steps.

For example, R2 is the length of two standard steps in the left direction.

Using this recording method, Chiba walked over to the switch after about 10 seconds——

"Ah!" Qianyu, who was halfway there, suddenly bumped into a wall of flesh without warning, and took a few steps back to stabilize her figure.

"Qianyu?" Officer Mumu's voice came. "You... you actually came over?"

"Officer Mumu, why are you still in the same place..." Chiba, who was hit and lost her sense of direction, finally calculated the change in her angle during the retreat through the recording results of the auxiliary unit, and turned to face the light switch again. direction. "I thought you would definitely dodge to the side."

"I'm sorry," Officer Mumu turned on the light. "That--"

"Wait a minute!" Qian Yu exclaimed with a strange look just before the lights came on. "Officer Mumu, please turn off the lights again!"

"What?" Officer Mumu was stunned, and quickly turned off the light again.

Chiba looked solemnly at the angle that she had turned during the process of turning towards the switch after being hit just now.

Although it was very dim, just now he seemed to have seen a faint green light streaking across the green line from the viewing angle - the record of the auxiliary unit also proved this.

Darkness came again.

"..." Qianyu was silent in the darkness, but suddenly let out a light laugh. "Ah..."

"What's wrong?" Officer Mumu asked strangely.

"I saw something interesting..." Qianyu took a step forward, half kneeling on the ground, looking straight ahead.

In his eyes, there is nothing in front of him.

However, the auxiliary unit has already given a judgment that there is a faint green light there. The reason why Chiyu can't see it is only because the brain regards this weak color difference as a normal error, and the auxiliary unit knows that the place where the green light is located should be a pure black. The CD storage box, under normal circumstances, cannot have green color anyway.

As long as the viewing angle is shifted, the peripheral vision, which has a lower resolution but better recognition ability, should be able to be captured. . .

When Chiba looked higher, a faint green light appeared in the lower part of her field of vision—two vertical green lines about three centimeters apart.

"Can you see?" Chiba pressed her index and middle fingers above and below the two green lines to lock the positions of the two bright lines. "Green light..."

If there is such a green line, it should be possible to walk in the dark. . . Well, in theory this area should be—

Qianyu looked around, and the auxiliary unit marked more than ten places with green fluorescence.

This is very interesting. . .

"I didn't see it." However, at this moment, most of the others gave answers that he did not expect.

Of course, someone can still see it.

"Fluorescent tape! This is fluorescent tape!" Hoijima exclaimed in surprise. "How come there is fluorescent tape in my apartment!?"

"Fluorescent tape?" Mumu asked curiously. "You mean, there's fluorescent tape here? But why don't we see the light from the fluorescent tape?"

"Turn on the lights." Chiba continued to lock the position of the bright line.

The light was turned on again, and the tip of Chiba's fingers saw a piece of black tape.

"It's... the edge of the black tape..." Chiba said halfway through and suddenly found something. "Wait a minute, this is..."

The tip of the nail exerted a little force on the edge of the black tape, and then a layer of black epidermis was removed, revealing the fluorescent tape underneath.

"In order to conceal it, most of the light-emitting parts were covered with black tape~www.readwn.com~, and in order to improve the concealment, it was specially attached to the surface of the black object." Chiba picked up the CD storage disc. "Obviously, some people have ulterior motives."

"Could it be..." Hojima pondered. "Mr. Negami? He's the developer in the darkroom, and he uses this a lot!"

At this moment, Officer Mumu's cell phone rang.

"I'm Mumu, what's the matter with you? What? Are you serious? Okay, got it."

During the entire conversation, Officer Mumu's expression was very exciting, and he actually walked to the window and glanced out the window - there was the direction of the East Metropolis Development Institute.

"Let's do this today." Finally, Officer Mumu put down the phone and looked at everyone. "The killer is locked, Mr. Negami - who was seen entering the apartment and hurried out afterward."

"?" Qianyu suddenly thought of something, then walked to the same window and looked outside.

The black Chevrolet was still parked where it was.

These guys, no. . . People from the Metropolitan Police Department, right?

Wait a minute, if they were the ones who followed him and Haibara Ai, and had something to do with the Metropolitan Police Department. . . Police Department?

Thinking of the voice of the traitor he heard when he was at the police station, Chi Yu's face showed obvious anger, and then he suppressed it again.

No, it's still not certain that they are the spy sent to follow them. . . And even if they came to follow them, Hui Yuan was still here. . . Can't risk attacking them. . . You need to get her and the little guys out of here first.

Hmm, if it's about escaping, there seems to be someone who can help. . .
