Conan: The Mechanic

"Kazuo, where are you? What happened all day today—" Before Hattori Heiji could finish his question, he was interrupted by the apparently altered voice from the opposite side.

"This girl is in my hands now," the voice on the other side was a little muffled, but in terms of timbre, it should be a male voice. "In an hour and a half, go to the Yulong Temple in Mount Anma alone. If you dare to call the police, she will be dead!" Before Hattori Heiji could ask what happened, the other party hung up the phone. (Author: The distance from Fuguang Temple to Mount Anma is about 15-16 kilometers. This distance is about 40 minutes by car, but the problem is that after arriving at Mount Anma, you still need to find the old site of Yulong Temple, so if Hattori Heiji started at To the south of Fuguang Temple, or if you encounter traffic jams, one hour is not enough, so a reasonable time requirement should be one and a half hours or even two hours.)

……

"..." Qian Yu finished listening to the whole process with a gloomy face, and then took out her mobile phone.

"What are you doing?" Conan asked curiously.

"Let's tell Brother Heiji about this first. Maybe he has some new discoveries that can match our speculation." With that said, Chiba called Hattori Heiji on his mobile phone.

However, what Chiba didn't expect was that it was not Hattori Heiji who answered the phone.

"What?" Qian Yu was stunned.

"Yes," Mao Lilan's anxious voice entered Chiyu's mind from the auxiliary unit and both sides of her ears at the same time. "Hatto was informed by the kidnappers that He Ye was kidnapped, and they asked Hattori to rush to Mount Kurama within an hour and a half."

"Mt. Kurama? We are in Mt. Kurama now," Chiba turned around and showed her expression to Conan and Fujiwara who didn't understand what was going on. "Sister Xiaolan, are you saying that you and Sister Ye were kidnapped to Yulong Temple in Mount Anma?"

"Jade Dragon Temple?" After repeating the name, Conan exchanged glances with Fujiwara, who was also unclear, and then asked the cleaning staff next to him. When Qianyu hung up the phone, Conan immediately told him the exact location of the Jade Dragon Temple - although it was an abandoned temple, it used to be very popular, so there was a fairly complete road from the foot of the nearby mountain. Climb up.

"If that is the location of Yulong Temple, I am familiar with that road," Conan said. "When we were chasing the attacker, we followed all the way from there. We were not thrown away until he cut down the suspension bridge. Now it seems that the suspension bridge should be no more than 200 meters away from Yulong Temple."

"Yes, so there is a problem now," Chiba looked at Conan. "The other party asked Hattori Heiji himself to come, but the lord obviously can't come now, what should we do?"

…………

One hour and 20 minutes later, the ruins of Yulong Temple—although according to the locals, it has been abandoned, it can be seen that it is not like a temple that has been abandoned for more than five years as they say. It is a well maintained base.

"Da-da--" In the sound of such slow footsteps, Hattori Heiji unhurriedly walked up the steps.

"Who are they?" Suddenly, two people wearing hideous Noh masks flashed out from behind the trees on both sides, and the iron swords in their hands emitted a chilling light.

"Tell your master," Hattori Heiji just said lightly. "Heiji Hattori is here."

"Hatto Heiji?" The two of them obviously knew what he was coming, and one of them immediately turned around and ran up, leaving only one person on the lowest level of vigilance against Hattori Heiji.

What Heiji thought was different from what Heiji Hattori thought was that the man just ran about 20 meters before he stopped and started shouting instead. "Heiji Hattori is here!"

A few seconds later, words of similar content also sounded farther away. "Heiji Hattori is here!"

They shouted five times in total—if they all followed this arrangement, the other party would have at least 10 subordinates, and this place was at least 100 meters away from the temple.

It has a very deep configuration. Once you get in, it is not so easy to get out. But there is no way, we still need to go in, otherwise there will only be one fate for the hostages.

But then again, even if you go in by yourself, is there only one end to the hostage?

But even so, you still need to try it—otherwise it's not justified.

Accompanied by the gradually approaching instructions, which were also quickly delivered by shouting at close range, the person who started shouting at the top signaled Heiji Hattori to come with him.

…………

When Hattori Heiji slowly walked into this dimly-lit, but well-prepared temple, the first thing he saw was the attacker wearing an old man's mask and Toyama Kazuha, who was under his control, standing in front of the main hall.

"You're finally here, Hattori Heiji," Lao Neng said in a voice that Fujiwara felt somewhat familiar. "I thought you were going to run away like a coward."

"Obviously I wouldn't do such a stupid thing, what do you think?" Hattori asked rhetorically. "Okay, what did you want to do when you called me here?"

"The crystal bead you used to find your first love before," said Lao Neng. "Give me that thing—it's valuable after all, and I need it."

"What do you need is that crystal bead, or is it just money?" Hattori Heiji frowned slightly. "I think since you know I have that thing~www.readwn.com~ you should also know that it means a lot to me."

"Besides that, do you have anything valuable?" Lao Neng raised his head slightly and asked back. "If you still have something you can easily monetize, I don't mind changing your target. But the question is, do you really have any viable alternatives?"

"Of course I have," Hattori Heiji nodded. "High-quality diamonds are portable and valuable. I wonder if you are interested in accepting them and leaving us safely?"

"Diamonds?" Yuan Shan and Ye had shocked expressions on their faces.

"Diamonds?" The old man's voice became serious. "Did you bring it? If not, I think it's hard for me to believe that you didn't intend to take the opportunity to escape."

"Of course I took it," said so, Hattori Heiji took out a small black box from his pocket. "Here are two large, high-quality diamonds of priceless value, estimated at more than 5 million yen."

"I need to inspect the goods first," the old man said. "Put the box on the ground and have my people check it."

"You let him go first," Hattori Heiji refused to let him go. "Otherwise, you took the diamond and didn't let us go, what would you do?"

"Also," the old man replied. "I can return this lady to you first, but I want to make a gentleman's agreement in exchange for it - we two have a very pleasant transaction, so I don't think you have any reason to lie to me, do you?"

"Have you found the location of the Buddha statue? If so, please let me know."
