Conan: The Mechanic

At Daimon Station on the Asakusa Line (the name of this station is Daimon Station, about half a kilometer east of Shiba Park), Yusaku Kudo walked out of the station following Kazuki Mokami.

If you follow this direction, Kazuki Motogami should be planning to go to Shiba Park - but is it too early to start now? There should be a lot of people in Shiba Park now. If we do it now, the security will be too bad...

At this moment, Ben Shang and Shu suddenly turned into a hotel on the side of the road.

"!" Kudo Yusaku was stunned—turned into the hotel? Did he find out that he was following him, or did he really plan to go to the hotel to rest?

Unprepared, Yusaku Kudo could only walk past the hotel, and then stopped at a book stand in front of a used bookstore, pretending to pick out books, while paying attention to the hotel's entrance.

Wouldn't he really plan to stay in this hotel? It's too much trouble to keep track of...

"Are you also a fan of Mr. Kudo Yusaku?" At this moment, a person next to him suddenly said to Kudo Yusaku.

"Huh?" Kudo Yusaku was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was now in a disguised state, not the face of a great mystery novelist familiar to Japanese mystery fans. "Sorry, what did you say?"

"Are you a fan of Mr. Kudo Yusaku's book?" Pointing to the book in Kudo Yusaku's hand, the man asked again.

"Uh..." Only then did Yusaku Kudo realize that what he was holding in his hand happened to be the reasoning book he published ten years ago. "Hmm—barely, right? I know a little bit about Yusaku Kudo's work."

"Which book by Mr. Kudo Yusaku is your favorite?" the man continued to ask.

"Hmm—" Kudo Yusaku thought for a while and chose a very common answer. "Probably the "Night Baron" series, right?"

"Okay," the man nodded. "This should be one of the most natural answers."

"Which one do you like?" Yusaku Kudo asked.

"About ten years ago. Mr. Yusaku Kudo once wrote a very wonderful novel and sent it to our editorial department." Saying this, the man showed an intoxicated expression. "I... I once got paid to see it, but unfortunately the manuscript disappeared later."

"Ten years ago?" Kudo Yusaku looked thoughtful. "The manuscript is gone? Did you see the manuscript?"

"Yeah!" The man nodded vigorously. "That's a very good novel!"

Yusaku Kudo still remembers the novel that was sent to a certain editorial office ten years ago and could not be released because the manuscript was lost, but it is limited to remembering the existence of this book, but not the details. .

At that time, it seemed that the editorial department lost the manuscript, and there were actually 12 manuscripts sent at that time, so the editorial department did not force Yusaku Kudo, who received the remuneration through buyout in advance. The lost manuscripts were rewritten, but only 11 manuscripts that were not lost were serialized. (Yusaku Kudo is in an advantageous position in this contractual relationship, so the editorial department does not dare to do anything to this great god)

At this moment, Yusaku Kudo's cell phone suddenly rang - from Conan Edogawa.

"Hello?" Kudo Yusaku answered the phone. "What's wrong?"

"Where are you now, Dad?" Conan asked.

"200 meters east of Shiba Park, how about you? What's wrong?" Yusaku Kudo replied.

"I was on a street near Tokyo Tower. By the way, I saw someone in Tokyo Tower who appeared here is completely reasonable and unexpected." Conan said this on the other side of the phone.

At this moment, Conan was standing in front of the window of an electrical store, looking at the things in the window.

In the shop window, a TV is playing the footage of the Tanabata Festival repeatedly.

Mizuna Rina was smiling and presiding over the Tanabata festival under the Tokyo Tower. Behind her, Matsumoto Kiyocho, who was wearing casual clothes, but the inconspicuous scar on his face betrayed his identity, passed the picture.

A few seconds later, the picture started from the beginning again, and Matsumoto Kiyotaka's figure reappeared on the screen.

"Yes," Conan nodded when he heard the question on the other side of the phone. "I don't know how long ago, he entered the Tokyo Tower."

"Then you want to go and live with him?" Yuu Kudo asked in American English, who was acting very fast. "I'm following Kazuki Motomo here, so it's true that it's very close to Tokyo Tower, but I can't get away for the time being."

"I know," Conan nodded. "Anyway, neither the book nor the tree appeared. Matsumoto Kiyosaka appeared in the Tokyo Tower mostly just looking for a needle in a haystack that couldn't find the direction. I'm only a little distance from the Tokyo Tower. Just follow him and see what progress they have. By the way, if there is any movement over there, remember to tell me."

"Of course I know," Yusaku Kudo replied. "But this guy is temporarily hiding in a hotel, so I can't follow him, I can only watch from the outside. Maybe he will wait here for a few hours before he comes out."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Dad." With that said, Conan hung up the phone.

"This guy," Kudo Yusaku smiled and put the phone back in his pocket, then suddenly thought of something.

Wait a minute, today is Tanabata, so if the case is to improve the atmosphere of this case~www.readwn.com~ The events of Tanabata two years ago will of course be closed on Tanabata.

It's already past ten o'clock, and it's less than two hours before the Tanabata Festival. Why does he still want to stay in a hotel?

Suddenly there was a trace of worry, Kudo Yusaku put down the book in his hand, walked past the hotel door again, and glanced in the direction of the front desk.

He didn't see Ben Shang and the tree.

Frowning, Kudo Yusaku walked over to the counter and asked the front desk clerk who was looking at him in a nonchalant tone.

"Where did Ben go?"

"This?" The front desk clerk was stunned. "Hello, who are you looking for?"

She doesn't know who she is? Didn't he use his real name when he registered just now? Wait a minute, it doesn't seem like it's weird not to have a real name at a time like this?

"It's the dead face paralyzed who came in just now." Kudo Yusaku continued to use the way he addressed friends he knew very well to convince them that he was indeed Kazuki's friend.

"He just asked me if there is a back door here," the waiter spread his hands. "I guess it went around the alley from the back door?"

"Back door?" Kudo Yusaku was stunned. "Where is your back door?"

"Over there," the waiter pointed to a corridor next to him. "The end of the staff passage is the back door."

Kudo Yusaku hurried to the end of the corridor and saw a wide open back door.

Watching Yusaku Kudo leave through the back door, the waiter raised his eyebrows.

At this moment, Kazuki Motoka walked out of the men's toilet door on the staff passage, and quickly left the main entrance.

"What kind of person would follow you?" the waiter murmured.

After speaking, she glanced at the mystery novel in her hand.
