Conan: The Mechanic

"This is it," Hattori Heiji pointed to the station ahead. "As long as you enter the station from here, you can go back by car."

"Well, thank you." Fujiwara nodded, and then led everyone towards the station.

"That person attacked Edogawa and the others?" Haibara Ai and Chiba confirmed the situation.

"It should be like this," Qianyu nodded. "At least that's what they said, and what we've seen is basically consistent with their description, so that's what it should be."

"If their purpose is to assassinate the two of them, maybe it's better for us to stay away from them as much as possible." Haibara Ai frowned slightly. "Although it is basically safe to return to Tokyo's Edogawa River, they are still in danger until then."

"The target is Hattori Heiji," Chiba shook her head. "I've asked before and he's only here today, so it's almost certain that he was ready to kill him before he got here from Osaka - but that's a little weird, if it's coming from Osaka. If so, why did the other party not attack Hattori Heiji in Osaka, and how did he ensure that Hattori Heiji could always track his whereabouts during the process from Osaka to Kyoto? And how did it go smoothly without being discovered by Hattori Heiji? Finished tracking?"

"Maybe it's because that person has a partner?" Haibara replied after thinking for a moment. "If there are enough partners in this way, it may be possible to successfully lock the target, but the efficiency itself is still low."

"I think the other party should know that Hattori Heiji will go to that place," Chiba nodded. "After all, the weapon used by the opponent is a bow and arrow. This weapon may not be very conspicuous in the deep mountains of Kurama Temple, but in the city, it is definitely a living target. Anyone will look at him more, and it is impossible to complete concealment. Using this kind of weapon is definitely a living target. As for weapons, the only explanation is probably that the other party knew that Hattori Heiji would go to Kurama Temple and set up an ambush ahead of time."

"So the question is how did Hattori Heiji come up with such an idea?" Haibara Ai looked at Chiba, originally wanting to see his reaction, but she was a little surprised to find a confused expression on Chiba's face.

"That one seems to be..." Qianyu pointed hesitantly not far away. "I am not wrong, right?"

……

"..." Hattori Heiji was walking on the street shrouded in darkness, wondering what he was thinking. And at this moment, at the corner of the street in front of him, the man in the driver's uniform who had attacked him before appeared ghostly-in his hands, it was the one that was suspected to have been discarded before. Longbow at the scene of Kurama Temple.

I don't know if it was the man who made the sound or if Hattori Heiji got the blessing of some god. Before opening the bow, Hattori Heiji raised his head, and finally looked at the man at a distance of about 30 meters - at this distance , the bow and arrow can't hit a hundred hits for a moving target (the initial speed of the bow and arrow is about 40-60 meters per second, if you prepare in advance, you can avoid it)

Especially if the other party can't even see clearly?

The man slightly narrowed his eyes hidden in the helmet - the sky was already very dark now, and the view that could be seen after passing through the plastic plate of the helmet was very bleak, almost entirely dependent on the light-colored clothes on Heiji's body.

But now, Hattori Heiji threw his clothes on the ground and completely disappeared into the night.

If you want to continue to see clearly, then I am afraid that the man will have to take off the motorcycle helmet - and in the case of not foreseeing this in advance, this means that the man who probably did not prepare the second layer of cover will be Forced to expose his appearance to Hattori Heiji, or...

The opponent obviously didn't intend to let Hattori Heiji see his appearance, so he gave up even the tentative attack, turned his head and ran away with the bow and arrow.

"Don't try to run!" Hattori Heiji yelled loudly, and also chased after him.

[Damn...I didn't ride a bike in order to take those guys to the station, otherwise it would be very easy to just ride a bike to catch up with him in this situation. 】

In order to practice kendo and become a better detective, Hattori Heiji has seriously exercised his body, but to his surprise, he does not have more equipment than the previous one. It stands to reason that he should run better than himself. How much faster the struggling man is, which shows that the other party is definitely not an ordinary person.

Of course, in addition to not having much advantage in speed, another point is also quite important - the only reason the opponent didn't attack him with a bow and arrow was because it was too dark here, so he couldn't see clearly.

If I accidentally ran into a lighted place when chasing him, I am afraid that I would be very dangerous: no matter how dark the skin and clothes are, it is impossible to hide their body shape in a place with a certain amount of light. In order to avoid turning around the corner and discovering that the opponent is already fully loaded with bows ready to attack him~www.readwn.com~ he must be very careful when turning.

During such a chase, Hattori Heiji realized that the other party seemed to have introduced him into a park: the park didn't seem to have many lights from the outside, and his body shape should not be easily exposed, so it didn't seem to be too risky to enter.

However, the opponent's figure is also likely to be hidden in the dark, so you must be cautious when chasing the opponent in it.

But no matter how cautious you are, the premise is to keep chasing one step at a time - this time the other party failed to solve him by surprise, but will he have such good luck next time?

For his own safety, and to get to the bottom of the whole case, he must try his best to catch the other party this time, and then send it to the police.

Anyway... Compared with yourself, it should be the other person who is troubled, right? You can at least see a vague shadow here, but the other party shouldn't be able to see anything after wearing such a helmet—or is this also in the other party's plan?

Did the opponent wear a helmet or even a night vision goggle at all, so in this case, is there a very strong attack force?

With such concerns, Hattori Heiji slowed down slightly, but almost in an instant, the other party suddenly showed incredible agility and disappeared into the suddenly dense jungle.

"Cut!" Hattori Heiji cursed secretly, stopped and observed the surrounding environment.

There was no very violent footsteps, the other party should be very close to you, because the other party definitely did not leave here by running.

Just as he was thinking, along with the sound of the bowstring being released, a sharp arrow just swiped in front of Hattori Heiji.
