Conan: The Mechanic

Chapter 583: ——Reconnaissance (End of Hokkaido chapter)

"Is that Hollywood agent who came to contact Natsuki Sakai..." Conan asked, dumbfounded.

"Yes," Takamori Sadaji looked at Conan in front of him and nodded. "The rumors are true. There are indeed people from Hollywood who came to contact Makiri, but the reason is not because they want to poach Makiri from her agent, Ms. Yaguchi Masashiro, but because she wants to get her royal makeup from her. The teacher dug the past. However, as you think, although Miss Makitori once agreed when she signed with Miss Natsuki Sakai, she would give her the green light when she went to Hollywood to develop her contract, but in the end she broke the contract , insisted that only the full termination fee in the contract can be paid. And in the subsequent conversation, Makuri reiterated to Sakai Natsuki that he would not let her go."

"Is the termination fee very high?" Haibara asked sadly. "It should be rare for this kind of contract to not be able to pay the termination fee, right?"

"Fifteen years, the salary has increased by 5% every year," Takamori Sadaji said after taking a glass of water from the water dispenser next to him and taking a sip. "Then the contract has just been executed for the third year, and then if she wants to terminate the contract, she needs to pay compensation for 5 years according to the agreed terms, and it is still the salary for the last 5 years of the contract under the salary increment payment model. She can't pay it now. This fee. And because the whole contract also covers a series of long-term contracts including housing, these contracts have favorable rental prices, but the termination terms are very harsh. It means that if she intends to forcibly terminate the contract, she still needs to pay these There was a huge break-up payment, including the house and car, which she couldn't repay even with the loan. So the negotiations broke down."

"Are there so many compensation items?" Qian Yu's mouth twitched. "This... it should be regarded as an overlord contract that exploits loopholes?"

"Yeah, it's a typical clause that exploits legal loopholes, and the name signer of these contracts itself is the sponsor of Mushroom Tree, which means that even if a lawsuit is filed, it is almost impossible to lift these clauses. What's more, even if it can be lifted through a lawsuit It was too late, because the actress had already returned to the United States before the performance of Princess Josephine - which is why Miss Natsuki Sakai finally lost her mind and blatantly chose to murder."

"What should I say..." Haiyuan sighed. "Who told her to foolishly sign a 15-year contract, and she hasn't formulated relevant clauses to protect her rights? Anything that asks Mushuli to give up all relevant compensation clauses if she goes to Hollywood to develop, it's okay, big deal. Show the contract to the agent, and then force the breach of contract directly—the chances of success in the follow-up negotiation will not be completely lost, and as long as the media exposes it, it should be more certain.”

"The key is to prove that these contracts are related, and then to prove that the termination clause is too large." Conan sighed. "There are indeed precedents in this situation, but in the absence of a way to prove the relevance of these contracts, the existing precedents are in fact still in a state of uncertainty, and these precedents have little impact on the judge's ruling. It will be particularly big.” (Although Japan is a civil law system, it has accepted the influence of the United States after World War II, and is also a country that pays attention to precedents. However, precedents are divided into strong cases with more occurrences, sufficient Supreme Court reasons, and fewer disputes. Precedents and weak precedents, which are extremely rare, and whose views are not unified within the Supreme Court, the former is a strong model for new cases, but the latter is difficult to say.)

"Let's not talk about that, what happened to the plane?" Conan suddenly remembered something related to them. "What happened to the plane?"

"The No. 2 engine fell off. The explosion I heard for the first time was probably the sound of the No. 2 engine knocking down," Takamori Sadaji shrugged. "When I was on the plane, I saw the maintenance record of the plane. The fan blade of the No. 2 engine was damaged once before. I guess there may be some problems in that maintenance, such as the maintenance method. Something like that, and then it hasn't been checked out, causing the engine to go to work after maintenance - although there is no way to determine what happened, at least the location of our plane when it exploded can be determined, if careful planning may be There is also the possibility of finding a fallen aircraft engine from the continental shelf."

"The reason for the hydraulic failure of the aircraft?" Chiba asked.

"There is something wrong with the design of the hydraulic pipeline," Takamori Sadaji's mouth twitched. "I actually guessed this at the time - the three sets of hydraulic pipelines would pass under the No. 2 engine in a concentrated manner, so after the No. 2 engine exploded, all the three sets of hydraulic pipelines were broken, causing all the hydraulic oil to leak. By the way, when the No. 2 engine exploded, it also damaged the tail, which caused the tail to be damaged before our first attempt to land~www.readwn.com~ So the plane yaw suddenly before the first attempt to land."

"By the way, how's the plane?" Haibara Ai suddenly thought that until they left, the nose of the plane was still smoking, and the interior of the cabin was also filled with smoke. "There was still smoke in the cabin when we got off the plane. Did the fuel tank burn?"

"Uh..." Qian Yu blinked and said nothing.

"If the fuel tank had caught fire, we would have all died in the explosion," Takamori Sadaji said in a sullen voice. "It's just that the insulating pad between the inner and outer shells of the nose burned up, and then the smoke poured in through the gap. The smoke was so big only because the No. 2 engine exploded and a hole was opened in the tail of the plane. , and then created a convection effect, which sucked the smoke into the cabin."

"My only hope now is to be able to go back safely," Conan sighed suddenly. "It's just been exhausting during this time."

"Yes," Qianyu also showed a somewhat helpless expression. "From the time we arrived in Osaka to now, we have been spinning almost all the time - we did have a day or two of rest when we got back from the airship, but the problem is that the jet lag task has killed most of the time."

"Anyway, I'll have a good night's sleep at home in the next time," Conan moved his neck. "Don't call me if you go out, I just want to sleep at home for a few days."

"We're about the same," Qian Yu nodded with a wry smile. "Anyway, in the next few days, I should be-"

"Have a good stroll in Tokyo," Ai Haibara suddenly took over. "According to my statistics, it seems that when you are not Edogawa, we will live very comfortably, and where you are there will always be full of disasters."
