Conan: The Mechanic

Under such an impact, the planks of the compartment on the top floor were quickly pushed open, revealing a gap. "Three, two, one!" With such a low roar, Conan was thrown into the top floor compartment by Hattori Heiji through the gap.

"Have you found anything?" Heiji Hattori asked below.

"Hmm..." The dark space of the compartment was driven by the faint light from Conan's watch, and Conan's voice came from above. "I think... I saw the Buddha statue we were looking for. I remember, it should be called Yakushi Tathagata, right?"

"Well, is the Buddha statue in good condition?" Heiji quickly asked again.

"It can't be said to be complete," Conan's feedback made Heiji and Chiyu's faces a little ugly. "Missing pekoe."

"Pakko? What is that?" Hattori Heiji was stunned.

"Don't you know that transparent spot on the forehead?" Conan's head stuck out from the gap. "Probably a hexagonal crystal."

"Six prism?" Heiji was surprised. "Is it a standard hexagonal prism made of transparent crystal?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Conan noticed Heiji's anomaly.

"Wait, let me think about it," Hattori Heiji didn't answer him, but lowered his head, his eyes were quite complicated, and it took a long time before he answered. "Well, I thought... maybe that thing wasn't 'her thing'."

"You mean your first..." Conan immediately reacted.

"Are you talking about the token of that first love?" Qianyu asked suddenly.

"Do you also know about this?" Hattori Heiji looked at Chiba in surprise. "Really... why are the children now so interested in this kind of thing?"

"Uh..." Qian Yu showed a rather embarrassed expression - of course, he didn't know about this kind of thing himself, but he heard her talk about it when he was chatting with Hai Yuan the night before. Where did you find this kind of gossip.

As for the specific content of the gossip... It is probably that Heiji went to Kyoto to play when he was a child, and then met a girl he liked very much in a temple, and then the other party dropped a crystal bead when he left, so Heiji took this thing as a custom Love token. Some time ago, he mentioned this incident in an interview, and this incident also appeared in the news media's reporting window.

(Author: In fact, it was Jiroyoshi Suzuki's pot - the last batch of books, magazines and newspapers loaded on the Pearl Tree airship before takeoff contained Hattori Heiji's search for his first love.)

"All in all," Hattori Heiji finally took a deep breath. "I'll find a ladder, let's get the Buddha statue down and talk about it."

……

"Well, that's what it looks like." He pressed the crystal beads into the groove on the forehead of the Buddha statue, and Heiji nodded thoughtfully, his expression slightly darkened. "This thing is really white..."

If that's the case, you've really wasted too much time and opportunities on this. Even if the girl really saw the news she left, but knew that she didn't have any words for Bai Hao, then she might really have to pass by that girl forever.

However, there may still be a chance: if his hunch is correct, maybe he has one last chance to find the girl who has always wanted to meet again.

"Let's take that Buddha statue back first, and then I plan to go to Sakuraya again tomorrow morning." Hattori Heiji nodded as if to convince himself.

"Do you think your first love is Miss Qianhe Ling?" Conan asked.

"I think it should be," Hattori Heiji nodded. "Her singing rhythm is almost the same as I remembered at the beginning, plus the same age, so I think it is very likely that she is."

……

"..." Fujiwara opened his eyes slightly, but the pain in his body immediately made him let out a low moan. "Uh……"

"Are you awake?" Takeda's voice rang out - he had been sitting beside Fujiwara's bed like this, and he was the first to react.

"Where's Hotaru?" After Fujiwara glanced at Takeda, he immediately glanced in the opposite direction, but he didn't see the person he expected.

"In the bed next to you," Hotaru's slightly weak voice came through a curtain pulled up behind Takeda's back. "It was nothing serious, but on the way back, they found that I had injuries on my body. In addition, I had mild malnutrition and anemia, so they arranged for me to stay here for one night to observe, infuse some fluids, and accompany me by the way. Accompany you."

(In fact, Hotaru finally told them that Fujiwara was a boyfriend who had had many, many relationships with him, so he was able to be in the same ward with him.)

"Probably a side effect of exhaustion? Since the two of you are here... What about Okazaki-san?" Fujiwara asked again. "Is it by your bedside?"

"Yeah..." Yuma's helpless voice also sounded. "This kind of thing is too risky... The other party is a master who is proficient in kendo! You were almost killed by him."

"It is indeed underestimated, but there is no other good way." Fujiwara sighed. "According to the original plan, we only need to persist for two or three minutes - I thought this was not too troublesome, but I didn't expect that Saijo Taihe would have such a high level of fighting skills, and he even took medicine, just one day. It was smashed when it came up.”

"But if he didn't take drugs, psychological tactics wouldn't necessarily work, wouldn't they?" Ying asked rhetorically. "There are two sides to this kind of thing, at least we win, don't we?"

"That's right..." Fujiwara said here~www.readwn.com~ and suddenly remembered something. "Takeda, aren't you two planning to spend the night here?"

"Huh?" Takeda was stunned for a moment. "Uh... Yuma might go back, but I'll probably stay..."

"It's not very necessary, it's not very comfortable to sleep here." Ying's voice came. "If only Fujiwara was here, I could do whatever I wanted, but if you were here, I would have a lot of unnecessary worries."

"!!!" Takeda's face turned red all of a sudden, and Fujiwara, who saw this, immediately guessed that Yuma on Hotaru's side probably had the same expression.

Hmm... Maybe Hotaru is thinking now that she may have seen Takeda's red face?

"Then that...then let's go now?" Takeda stammered.

"No problem," came Ying's smiling voice. "Also, please pull back the curtains. Fujiwara and I have already met frankly, so there is no need for any shyness."

……

After Takeda dragged Yuma away in a hurry, Hotaru suddenly asked a question.

"You look like this, can you still go to the Suijima?"

"I remember it should be about ten days later, right? Probably, why do you ask this?"

"It's a rare opportunity. If you can't go, it'll be a pity." Hotaru's tone seemed a little hesitant. "Right, let me ask a question."

"Huh?" Fujiwara seemed to realize that the next question would be very important, turned his head slightly and looked at Hotaru.

"If there is no conflict of interest with your friends, will you assist me in my work?"

"..." Fujiwara frowned slightly—but not because the question was difficult to answer.

"No problem, but... what exactly are you facing?"
