Conan: The Mechanic

"What's the matter?" Officer Sato got out of the car and asked Officer Takagi who also got off the other side to check the tires.

"It seems that the tire blew directly?" Officer Takagi crouched down and looked at the wreckage of the tire that had almost been peeled off from the wheel hub in confusion. "It's really... efficient..."

"Efficient?" Sato was stunned and walked to Takagi's side.

"Yeah," Takagi said, pointing to the tire. "Look at the damaged part here... Compared with normal flat tires, the damage marks are very regular... Could it be that our car ran over something that could puncture the tire?"

"Huh?" Sato looked at the place where the tire punctured just now. "Unlikely, right? There must have been a car just passing through our driveway. Why didn't they have a flat tire?"

"But anyway, we can't move on," Takagi sighed. "There's only one tire in the back of the car, but we've blown two tires now."

"I can only call the headquarters first," Sato took out his mobile phone. "You call Xintang's landline and tell her to stay at home."

"Yeah," Takagi nodded and dialed the landline of Shindo's house. "Um... Xintang didn't answer the phone, what should I do?"

"Didn't answer the phone?" Sato frowned. "This……"

At this moment, Sato realized that something was wrong.

"Boom!" At this moment, the sound of the engine of the sports car attracted Sato's attention, and on the bridge they had just passed through the bridge hole, a sports car had just started and was accelerating at this time. leave.

"?" Sato frowned slightly.

Their car just had a flat tire, and it is obviously not a common thing for a police car to have a flat tire on the highway. It is very rare to not stop to watch the fun at this time. just run...

"Sato," Takagi said at this time, having already stopped a car. "I borrowed a spare tire from this car, let's just replace the broken tire and rush over!"

"Okay," Sato called the Metropolitan Police Department. At the same time, he came to the trunk, took out the jack, and handed it to Takagi. "Hey, I'm Sato, look for Officer Megumi."

…………

At the front entrance of an apartment, a Porsche 356A stopped.

"Brother, shall we go in directly?" Vodka stopped the car and asked Gin.

"Wait a second..." Gin frowned and stopped Vodka.

It is now 3:30 in the afternoon. If the information provided by the logistics team is correct, now is the time for Xintang Lei to paint. He should be painting in the painting room on the second floor with the natural light outside the window... But now, The curtains of the drawing room on the second floor are drawn.

Holding the pistol in his coat pocket tightly, Gin opened the car door. "Come with me and get ready for battle."

If it goes well, maybe the list can be successfully recovered here. Thinking like this, Gin brought vodka to the front door of Xintangyu's house, but found that the glass door of Xintangyu's single-family villa was open, and the security door leading to the house was only falsely closed. That's it.

"Brother, this?" Vodka also realized something was wrong and turned to look at Gin.

"Prepare to fight," Gin walked in with a sullen face, while his pistol had been taken out of his coat. "When you meet someone, you just break your hands and feet and take them back."

Gin Jiu's left hand without a gun had already pulled out a swing stick from his sleeve, and after throwing out an iron stick, he took it in his hand, walked to the door, and gently opened the half-closed forehead door with his foot. .

There was no movement.

After waiting for half a second, Gin rushed into the room with the stick in front of him and the pistol on his waist.

There was no one in the room.

"..." Gin narrowed his eyes. "Let's go to the second floor."

"Big brother," At this moment, Vodka suddenly stopped Gin. "Come and see!"

"Huh?" Gin thought for a while, but went back to the door and looked at the keyhole that Vodka was pointing at. "What's wrong--!?"

Gin found that there were a lot of scratches caused by violent unlocking on the keyhole of the security door.

"Let's go up quickly!" Jin Jiu immediately realized that what he was most worried about had happened, and waved. "hurry up!"

Half a minute later, on the second floor, Gin and Vodka stood at the door of the painting room with the door wide open. In front of them, the painting room was a mess.

"Brother, this?" Vodka asked in surprise.

"We're a step late," Gin said after walking to the center of the painting room after glancing around. "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, withdraw!"

"Okay!" Vodka nodded, and then went out again with the gin.

Just on the floor where the vodka had just stepped on, a piece of white bread that was almost flattened was stuck to the ground, and the pattern pressed by the sole of the shoe was clearly visible.

———————————— (Breadcrumbs are painting supplies, which can make sketches, especially charcoal sketches, softer)

"What?" Matsumoto Kiyocho, who was waiting for the latest news with the others, asked in surprise. "No one's here? Are you sure it's not an ordinary outing?"

"I confirm," Sato stood at the door of the painting room and said solemnly ~www.readwn.com~ The house was in a mess, and it was obvious that someone had fought here. I think it may be that the murderer was already lurking here, and he suddenly attacked after Shindou came to the drawing room, and subdued Shindou after the fight. (Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the curtains of the painting room were not opened. If they were opened, the murderer should have broken into the painting room and attacked Xintang who was painting.)

"I see," Matsumoto Kiyotaka nodded. "I will immediately order the arrest of Xintangyu. Please search nearby for any witnesses who saw the murderer. Others will arrive there in about 20 minutes to assist you in your investigation."

"Okay!" After Sato finished speaking, she put away her phone after hearing a busy tone from the other side. Just when she was about to leave the scene, she found a piece of flattened bread under her feet. "?"

This is a pair of leather shoes, the pattern is relatively shallow, the pattern is geese...

"..." Sato frowned as he looked at the other traces of fighting in the house.

Right next to the easel, there is also a flattened piece of bread, and the shoe patterns displayed on it are dense parallel lines.

And on the ground between the easel and the door, a tube of paint without the lid was poured on the ground, and the paint inside was squeezed out by someone unknown, and the paint that flowed out was separated by a sheet of paint that fell to the ground. The drawing paper was stepped on. Since the paint below was not dry at the time, the footprint of this foot has been rubbed on the paper stuck to the paint in a modeling way.

The pattern on this is a square pattern, and it should be the pattern on the heel position from the width - completely different from the other two shoe patterns, and it is impossible to appear on the same shoe at all.

Besides the murderer, has anyone else been here? Who is this person?
