Conan: The Mechanic

Drinking coffee, Chiba sat on the sofa and looked at the thin man in front of him—if the certificate he showed was genuine, this was the Nishimura Police Department of the Criminal Investigation Division, Criminal Division, Hokkaido Police Headquarters.

"How is it?" Haibara asked sadly, who was sitting beside him.

"Are you referring to this case or..." Qian Yu asked tentatively.

"You yourself," Ai Haibara glanced at the coffee cup in Chiba's hand. "Although you may not be very sleepy, your body probably needs a lot of rest."

It was past four in the morning when Haibara Ai was woken up by Chiba, which meant that Chiba, who had been monitoring Keitaro Izumo's side, had not closed her eyes for more than a day since 6:00 the previous morning. This is quite a burden for a small child - in fact, Chiba relied entirely on the auxiliary unit to stay awake before, and the stimulation function of the auxiliary unit and the coffee he is drinking can suppress the sleepy signal, but However, it cannot solve the physiological fatigue behind the sleepiness.

"I know," Qian Yu sighed. "I will go to rest after this case is over. Anyway, we should be more than seven hours' drive away from Sapporo. As long as the case is resolved here, I should have a chance to catch up."

Just as they were talking about it, Conan suddenly led Officer Nishimura towards them, and then passed them by, apparently going to the cabin where the man might have jumped out of the car.

…

Car No. 9.

"That is to say, you were suppressed by the prisoner's shooting at the time, so you were forced to hide, so you couldn't confirm with your own eyes that the prisoner really entered this carriage?" Police Officer Nishimura asked.

"Yes," Conan nodded. At least I can't be 100% sure that the prisoner actually got into the car - but again, the door of the car did suddenly close just as we were about to run over, so I judge the possibility of the prisoner jumping is high, at least more than More likely to stay in the car. But you are right. It cannot be ruled out that the murderer did not jump from the car, but just created these illusions by some means, making us think that he jumped from the car. "

"Really?" Officer Nishimura nodded. "In any case, I have asked the police in this state to cooperate with us to complete the blockade of both ends of the entire Seikan Tunnel. It is impossible for prisoners to escape."

"So the question is why did the prisoner choose to jump in the Seikan Tunnel?" Conan frowned. "We entered the Honshu end of the Seikan Tunnel at 4:52am, and the prisoner shot Mr. Keitaro Izumo at 4:53am. Eventually jumped off the train before 4:55am. Although it was only after Three minutes, but at the speed of this Big Dipper 3, the place where he jumped was at least 2 kilometers away from the exit of the Seikan Tunnel on the Honshu side, which means that as long as the police can block the end of the tunnel within 10 minutes , he has no way to escape. If I were the prisoner, I would definitely choose to commit the crime before entering the Seikan Tunnel or immediately exit the Seikan Tunnel, and then escape directly from the open railway."

(The derivation of the time during this period made me almost autistic... Kogoro Mori himself said that it was already four o'clock, so I originally planned to set the time to 4 o'clock... However, Yukiko himself indicated the train in the schedule given in the original book. Entered the Seikan Tunnel Honshu entrance at 4:52 and left at 5:44, so I set the time closer to 5:00.)

"And if he falls and hurts, even if the police come over, they can catch him alive." Chiba and Haibara Ai also walked over from the other side of the carriage. "As long as he falls in the wrong position and breaks the bones in his leg, he may not be able to leave the tunnel even if he is given an hour."

"Are these two little devils your friends?" The Nishimura Police Department frowned.

"Yes," Conan nodded. "They're all my friends, and they're all very smart people."

"..." Officer Nishimura raised his eyebrows and finally said. "Well, let's go ahead and see if the cops in this state have anything to gain. Before that—"

"Let's take a look at the passengers in the other cars first," Conan said. "From the fact that the passengers in these carriages didn't react at all, they probably didn't know what was going on."

"It makes sense," Officer Nishimura glanced at the carriage next to him. "If it is said to be a trick, pretending to jump from the car and actually hiding in the box here, then it should be a better choice to investigate all these passengers."

Saying that, he rang the cabin marked B7 next to it. "Hey, anyone?"

After knocking for a long time, the door was opened, and a woman with a rather unhappy expression suddenly opened the door. "Who is it? Do you know what time it is?"

"I'm very sorry, I'm the Hokkaido Prefectural Police Officer Nishimura," Officer Nishimura said calmly. "It bothered you so early because there was a case on the train just now."

"Case?" The woman was stunned. "what happened?"

At this moment, Qianyu caught the sound of another door being pulled open—just ahead, UU reading www.uukanshu. com and quite close.

The design of the B-class single-person carriages of the Big Dipper train is quite interesting, with 2 uppers and 2 lowers—all the boxes are divided into one or two floors, which are evenly distributed in such a way as 12211221. Box 7 where this woman is located is the box on the first floor, while boxes 8 and 9 are the two closest boxes on the second floor, leading to the ground through a staircase.

Undoubtedly, the sound of the door opening came from one of the two boxes.

"Excuse me, did something happen?" A sleepy-looking man appeared at the entrance of the stairs a few seconds later—this was the secretary who was reprimanded by Ketaro Izumo whom Chiha and the others had seen before.

"..." Qianyu frowned slightly—because according to the simulation results of his auxiliary unit, the knock on the door of the Nishimura police officer just now should be enough to wake up the lady who was sleeping in the No. 7 box, but this kind of knock on the door is right. The sound is unlikely to wake someone sleeping in a box a few meters away.

In other words, either the secretary slept lightly, or he just woke up.

"Uncle," Conan said to the secretary. "Which is your boss's cabin?"

"He's in cabin 8, which is next door to mine," the secretary replied. "It's up there too."

"So, do you know this aunt?" Conan nodded and asked the woman again.

"He is our boss's wife." The secretary replied again.

"What happened?" The woman seemed to have lost her patience. "If it doesn't matter to me, I'll go to bed!"

"Just now, someone was shot," Conan said suddenly, his eyes beating repeatedly on the woman and the secretary. "The one who was killed was Mr. Keitaro Izumo."
