Conan: The Mechanic

"..." Qianyu looked at the file about the mahjong serial murder case in her hand, thinking about the clues in it.

Considering the letters on the back, the murderer should be trying to use eight mahjong tiles to represent what words - in addition to the current upside-down L used to indicate the beginning of the [, there should be an upside-down L for to indicate the ] at the end of a word. A, A, E, H, Z and a certain letter on the remaining six mahjong tiles should form a word that expresses the murderer's appeal.

But unfortunately, the auxiliary unit does not have the ability to recognize words and languages, and there are no modern six-letter words in Chiba's impression that have such a strange match. (It's mainly because there are z and the first few words are too rare, the ones with z are more common in Old English)

Wait a minute, except that the letters behind may express demands, the murderer seems to have deliberately brought the body to the place where the body was found to be thrown after the murder...

So what do these locations represent?

Taking out a detailed map of Japan, Chiba began to mark one by one according to the location where the body was found on the file.

Considering that there is no regularity in these incident locations, it is basically certain that only by macro-connecting these points on a map at the level of the Kansai region can the correlation be found.

However, what is more troublesome is that the map of the Kansai region is only printed on a piece of paper, so its accuracy cannot support the behavior of directly marking the crime scene from the macro level. Therefore, Qianyu can only mark each county or even city-level map records one by one, and then calculate the result in the auxiliary unit through the longitude and latitude marked on the edge of the map.

Then, Chiyu found that the final result of these six points on the map was not regular, and they were not the six points to which any well-known seven-vertex pattern belonged, let alone—wait a minute?

Just after Qianyu searched all the patterns composed of seven vertices in his mind and confirmed that the relative positions of these six points did not match, the additional search function of the auxiliary unit directly found in the local resources of the auxiliary unit and these six points. A pattern with a matching degree of more than 90% of the points - and the main mismatch is due to the mismatch in the position of the details. If the six points are slightly corrected, the matching degree with this pattern is almost 1!

In fact, it is generally difficult to search for anything useful with the additional search function. After all, this is only a function of searching for the military-related supermini knowledge base preset inside the auxiliary unit, and these things are in the life that Qianyu can touch. There's almost nothing that can come in handy. But this time, the additional search function really found what Chiba was looking for, and the reason was very simple.

The matching results of the search results show that the positions of these six points are almost consistent with the relative positions of the North Star and the five of the Big Dipper, and the Big Dipper and the North Star are the main tools for judging the direction with the help of the starry sky - this will of course be included in the auxiliary unit Into the preset content, it will naturally be within the retrieval scope of the additional search function.

Then, the remaining two points that are not marked are where the next two cases may occur?

One of the approximate coordinates is near the Maritime Self-Defense Force Air Base (Atsugi Air Base) in Ayase City, and the other is near Shiba Park in Tokyo.

"..." Qianyu glanced at these two coordinates, and then remembered what Matsumoto Kiyotaka had told him before.

————

Manager Matsumoto didn't ask Chiba and Haibara Ai too many questions, but just asked them to recall the scene at that time, and then gave them a detailed summary of the two sets of serial murder cases, vaguely expressing the hope that they could Look for the clues hidden in it, and once you find it, contact him directly through his mobile phone.

…………

Right next to the Tachibana mansion, in the Kudo mansion.

"Huh?" A figure who was about to leave the front door with a book in his hand suddenly stopped, looked at his pocket, and took out a mobile phone from it---the logo on it was "Juice"

"The places of death of the six deceased with mahjong tiles by their side coincide with the five of the North Star and the Big Dipper, and there is reason to believe that the remaining two potential deceased will be killed in the remaining two locations."

"Oh?" Matsumoto Kiyocho - or Irish is more appropriate at this time - raised his eyebrows. "What can this guy do?"

If this is the case, it is possible to let the people of the organization make arrangements in advance. As long as the murderer who is dragging the body can be caught at any of the locations, they can follow the clues and get the token before the police.

However, it is not this matter that should be dealt with now, but...

Irish looked at the book in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

…………

In an office, Matsumoto Kiyocho put a piece of plaster on the scanner, and after reading the fingerprint scan results on it, he put the book on the scanner.

Just then, his cell phone rang again.

After seeing Gin's name on the phone, Matsumoto Kiyocho frowned slightly, then answered the phone. "Hey?"

"Where have you been?" Gin's cold voice came. "I haven't returned to my residence so far. This doesn't seem like something that can be explained without a legal reason, right?"

"Are you doubting me?" Matsumoto Kiyocho snorted coldly.

"Forget it," Gin didn't seem to doubt Irish's loyalty, and immediately changed the subject. "How's your case going?"

"There are some clues~www.readwn.com~ Looking at the computer whose fingerprints have been scanned by the scanner and are being compared in the computer, Matsumoto Kiyocho said perfunctorily. "Considering that the public security has already intervened, I may need to myself Human help, because the Metropolitan Police Department is no longer under my control. "

"What's going on?" Gin frowned.

"The public security took over our physical evidence identification work. It is said that there is an approval from the National Public Security Committee above."

"..." Gin on the other side of the phone was silent for a while before continuing. "I see, so what kind of help do you need?"

"The control was carried out in Shiba Park in Tokyo and Ayase Park in Kanagawa. We now suspect that the murderer may bring the victim there to throw the body there." When Matsumoto Kiyocho said this, he suddenly found that the computer's evaluation had come out.

【Match: 98%】

"Oh yes," Matsumoto Kiyotaka's mouth suddenly showed a smile. "Gin, do you remember Kudo Shinichi?"

"Who is that?" Gin asked.

"That high school detective, the one you killed with that drug," Matsumoto Kiyocho reminded.

"Killed by me with drugs?" Jin Jiu frowned slightly, then stretched out. "You should know, right? I never remember the names of people who died in my hands—I've killed so many people, I can't remember them even if I wanted to. Forget it, I'm dead, I'll put them down later. I'll give you the contact information of my subordinates, and you can give him an order directly. The password is 'Everest'."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, leaving only Irish who was still holding the phone. And on Irish's smiling face, the murderous intent was fierce.

"Should some people count the sins they've committed?" Irish murmured.

"Gin!"
