Conan: The Mechanic

It's a rather shabby house, with quite a few pots and pans in it, and a lot of messy dirt shoe prints elsewhere, so you can tell someone has been here for a while.

But why are there shoe prints here? The footprints all over the house, although messy, had apparently been around for a while - if anyone was resting here, the traces of lying down would likely destroy these dried shoe prints.

Using the auxiliary processing power provided by the auxiliary unit, Chiba searched for clues that might be valuable in the blurred picture.

Besides homophony, is there anything unreasonable?

After his eyes swept around, he stopped at the window beside him.

On the windowsill, there are quite large and thick dirt prints. If the thickness can be explained, the largeness itself almost means that someone stepped on it repeatedly and printed dirt on it many times.

Someone wants to climb up from here? Why?

Raising her head, Chiba looked at the ceiling above, and retrieved the results of her previous observation of this room from the outside.

"Officer Otaki," Chiba said. "You guys, have you checked this? If a house with a sloping roof like this has a loft, right?"

"You mean, above?" Officer Otaki pointed the flashlight in his hand upwards. "Are you sure there's room up there?"

"Look at the traces here," Qianyu pointed to the footprints he had just discovered. "This footprint shows that someone wants to climb up, so obviously there may be a place to rest on it."

"..." Officer Otaki thought about the possibility of this theory, and then chose to accept it. "So, where do you think the entrance to this attic will be?"

"If you jump from this..." Chiba estimated the jumping power of a normal person. "You can also jump to the nearest crossbar."

Saying so, he focused his gaze on the ceiling above the beam.

The auxiliary unit told him that the planks of the ceiling above the beams had tiny cracks that were barely noticeable.

"It's just above," Chiba pointed to the fault location that the auxiliary unit told him. "The attic entrance should be there."

Saying so, Chiyu put away the traceless umbrella in her hand, and after calculating the trajectory, she threw it upwards.

The Wuhen Umbrella accurately tapped the spot where Qianyu discovered something abnormal just now, and everyone immediately saw that a gap had suddenly appeared in the ceiling that had been tightly seamed—a piece of wood was briefly pushed up by the Wuwei umbrella.

Although the planks were immediately reunited with the ceiling under the force of gravity, the location of the entrance to the attic was completely exposed to everyone.

"Let's leave it to us next, little brother," Officer Otaki's expression became serious. "You are very good, but the Osaka police are by no means an ordinary person!"

Chiba took Haibara Ai a few steps and came to the door of the house—if Officer Otaki accidentally missed and let the people above escape, his position would not be raided. If he still stayed in the position just now, the opponent would just fall from the sky when he jumped out, and there was almost no time and space to deal with. (It is also difficult to resist the force of the opponent falling from the sky.)

Although Officer Otaki looks fat, his body is actually very flexible. With a groaning sound, he has already stood firmly on the beam, pulled out his gun and looked at the door of the attic. "You're ready to take cover."

Saying so, he pushed open the secret door of the attic.

Except for the sound of metal crashing, there was no other movement.

But this kind of metal collision sound is very abrupt here - if the sound of metal collision metal... Officer Otaki's first reaction is...

Frowning, he stuck his head into the attic, and Officer Otaki turned his flashlight into the attic.

"Uh..." A painful voice came from inside the attic, and I saw a thin man with one hand tied to a fixed iron ring, while the other hand covered his eyes.

"Numabuchi Kiichiro?" Officer Otaki asked tentatively. "is it you?"

"Who are you..." A weak voice came from Numabuchi Kiichiro's mouth. "hungry……"

"What?" Officer Otaki was stunned. "What did you say?"

"Give me something to eat... I'm so hungry..." Saying this, Numbuchi Kiichiro shook his hand that was bound by the handcuffs anxiously, and the handcuffs and the iron ring made a metal collision sound.

It turned out to be this voice... No wonder I heard such a strange voice.

"Who locked you here?" Officer Otaki asked as he approached Kiichiro Numbuchi.

"It's a police officer..." Numbuchi Kiichiro said weakly. "Rice...give me food..."

"Officer? A police officer imprisoned you here?" Officer Otaki was stunned.

"He's telling the truth," Chiyu said from below. "Let's take Kiichiro Numbuchi down first. He used to have two bentos a day, but today's bento is only one, which means he didn't eat enough food today."

"He's handcuffed here, so I need to find a way to bring him down." Officer Otaki said this, and began to try to undo the handcuffs. "It looks like the handcuffs are fastened to the iron ring, so the iron ring needs to be removed before..."

Saying so~www.readwn.com~ the gunshots rang out.

"Okay, the iron ring has been removed. Come on, I'll help you get up, I'll find someone to arrange something to eat for you, and you can eat slowly after returning to the police headquarters."

"Thank you, sir..." Numbuchi Kiichiro swayed and tried to stand up.

"It was made by that Sakata, right?" Haibara asked sadly, listening to the voice from above.

"It should be," Qianyu nodded. "He imprisoned Numabuchi Kiichiro here, and is going to push him out as a scapegoat when the time comes."

In front of them, Numbuchi Kiichiro's frail figure appeared at the entrance of the attic.

"As expected, this guy is still like this. He doesn't look like a ghost or a ghost." Haibara Ai looked at Kiichiro Numabuchi's face and described it. "I don't know what happened to him."

Right in front of them, the incomparably weak Kiichiro Numbuchi jumped directly from the entrance of the attic, and then fell to the ground in front of Chiba and Ai Haibara! It can be considered that his life is big, if he deviates a little bit, he will fall on the junk pile of water bottles and bottles and cans next to him.

"Hey!" Chiba was taken aback by Kiichiro Numabuchi who fell to the ground.

"Hey, are you alright?" Officer Otaki was also surprised.

"It's only a few meters," Hui Yuan said sadly. "If this could hurt him, he wouldn't be alive now."

"But he fell right next to these household appliances..." Qian Yu was speechless. "If he fell a little off, he might be knocked down by the pile of debris..."

At this moment, Qianyu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, Numbuchi Kiichiro's weak appearance before was swept away, he grabbed a knife like lightning from the pile of debris, and then turned to look at Chiba and the others.
