Conan: The Mechanic

Just as they were chatting here, Officer Shiratori's cell phone suddenly rang.

"I'm Shiratori, Officer Mumu, you—" When Officer Shiratori said this, he suddenly showed a somewhat surprised expression. "We're in Cupido-cho 4-chome...what, a suspected arsonist? Okay, please tell me the characteristics... Okay, I understand, we'll go to support right away!"

Although Sergeant Shiratori didn't tell everyone what he heard, the telephone communication was no secret to Chiba.

In Shinagawa-cho 6-chome, a suspected arsonist was found. The other party took the initiative to escape when the patrol police came forward to investigate, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

When Conan seemed to think of something that puzzled him and frowned slightly, Officer Shiratori was already sitting in the car and looked at Officer Takagi, who seemed to be looking for something with dissatisfaction. "What are you doing, still so dawdling?"

"I, I seem to have forgotten to put the handcuffs on," Officer Takagi raised his head and said in a rather embarrassed tone. "But I think it doesn't matter, you still have handcuffs anyway, and... the divination in the magazine yesterday said that I have good luck today, so it should be no problem, that's all, let's go!"

Just when he said this, Chiba suddenly saw that Sato seemed to be stunned, and just stared in the direction of Officer Takagi.

"Takagi, wait a minute!" Just as Officer Shiratori and the others were about to drive away, Officer Sato stopped them and took out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket. "This, my handcuffs, you take it first."

"Huh?" Officer Takagi's face turned red in an instant, and he held the handcuffs that Officer Sato handed over with both hands, not knowing what to say. However, there is no need to think about this anymore, because without any warning, Officer Shiratori suddenly started the car and took Officer Takagi away with the roar of the engine that surprised everyone— - Chiba could see clearly, the expression on Officer Shiratori's face just now was extremely bad.

"Police Officer Sato, why are Officer Shiratori and the others responsible for hunting down the arsonist?" Conan suddenly asked Officer Sato, who was standing on the road with a rather subtle expression. "Isn't this kind of thing usually handled by the people who searched by the seven-series fire criminals, how could it be the police officer Takagi who asked the murderer to search?"

"Because it's dead," Officer Sato shrugged. "There were three cases of arson yesterday, in one case, a murdered body was found near the scene. According to the judgment, it may have been at the scene of the arson and the gangsters were on a narrow road, and he was eventually killed. In the other case, because The body was also burned next to the car that was set on fire, so there is not much information available at the moment, but we think it is very likely that this arson case is linked to the other two."

Just as they were discussing this, Ayumi suddenly looked at the place where Sato was before. "Look, it seems that someone else has come to offer flowers?"

"Ah?" Officer Sato was taken aback, and immediately looked in the direction Ayumi pointed - four middle-aged men, three men and one woman, were beside the bouquet of flowers placed by Officer Sato, and one of the middle-aged men's hands Li also held a bouquet of flowers and was bending down, ready to place the bouquet next to Sato's bouquet.

"They seem to be..." Officer Sato showed a look of nostalgia. "My father's classmates in high school, although they went to work or study in different places, they all played baseball together until... eighteen years ago. Wait for me here now, I'll go and meet They say hi."

Having said that, she walked in the direction of those people and started chatting with them.

"By the way, if it was the arson case last night, and the body was still burned next to the car that was set on fire," Qian Yu suddenly said to Conan. "Have you ever thought of something that is so coincidental no matter how you look at it?"

"I may have thought of something," Conan nodded. "So let's ask her when Officer Sato comes back later."

……

"So, that case didn't end with the conclusion that she committed suicide due to her mental breakdown after learning about rabies?" Chiba said angrily while sitting in the car. "I don't even understand why the Gregory guy insisted on throwing me home. He was the one who invited me to that party."

"But if that's the case, doesn't it matter the ingredients prepared for Xiao Ai?" Ayumi said to Qianyu with some worry. "Won't it break?"

"It's not a big problem. The bags they send will have dry ice ready to cool down. In contrast, it would be a more tactical choice to accompany you to the scene to see it, and after all, you have an extra pair of eyes."

"But if I take you with me, if the prisoner is there, it will be a little more dangerous." Officer Sato glanced at Chiba through the rearview mirror. "Follow me later and don't move."

"Although it is true that the other party may kill people, but... I don't think he will continue to haunt the place where the fire was lit once before?" Qian Yu shrugged. "So at least in the place he went to just the day before, there should be no need to worry about meeting him on a narrow road."

……

About an hour and a half later, in a tavern called "Nanko" near Shinagawa Station~www.readwn.com~ Really, this guy..." Officer Takagi walked into a tavern with his head down. The escaped suspect notified by Officer Mu has been caught, but unfortunately, that person is not an arsonist, but just a thief who broke through the door. In this case, everything has to be Start over.

"Boss, here's a pot of sake." He greeted like this, and then sat down in front of a seat.

"I suffered a lot during the three years I spent in Italy." While he was waiting, the voice from the table next to him caught his attention. "But fortunately, it's all worth it. My shop was on TV a few days ago, and business has been booming in recent days!"

"Yeah, Luye, isn't it because the four of us have good news that we came here for a drink to celebrate?" The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded, but her expression darkened. "Unfortunately, today happens to be Captain Sato's death anniversary... How should I put it, this is a shit..."

"But fortunately, his daughter, Miwako, has inherited his father's business. I believe the captain should also feel relieved, right?" Lu Ye, who was talking just now, also had a complicated expression. "No, I thought about it carefully. Maybe he will be furious? After all, you should all remember, didn't he often complain about the workload..."

Listening to their voices, the expression on Officer Takagi's face gradually became subtle. He took out the police manual from his arms, wrote and drew something on it, and finally stood up suddenly, holding the police manual and hurried out. go.

Mr. Shikano unconsciously glanced at Takagi who was leaving, but his eyes finally stopped on the police manual that he hadn't had time to put away.
