Conan: The Mechanic

Fifteen minutes later, a secluded cafe.

"Then, let's start our meeting here," Hotaru asked Fujimura Shinichi, choosing a seat in a remote corner that could accommodate four people. "Please sit down first."

"Ah, okay." Fujimura Shinichi immediately chose a double bench on one side and sat in the middle. But something unexpected happened - Hotaru didn't sit across from him like normal interview work, but sat down directly here and squeezed gently beside Fujimura Shinichi.

"Ah..." Fujimura Shinichi was taken aback.

"What's wrong?" Hotaru turned her head and looked at Fujimura Shinichi with big watery eyes. "Teacher Shinichi, can we start consulting on related matters?"

"Ah... It's possible, but... I thought you would sit..." When he said this, Fujimura Shinichi couldn't go on. Because in a sense, he still enjoys the state of being crowded with a beautiful girl in this way.

"Ah, wouldn't it be easier to hear clearly if you sit closer to you, and you can also check what I have recorded, right?" Ying asked with a smile. "So it's fine for me to just sit here!"

"Oh..." Fujimura Shinichi's response was a little stiff. "Then... let's start then?"

"So, Mr. Shinichi, the five of you should have gone together, right?" Hotaru took out a notebook and a piece of memo paper, and placed the tip of the pen not far away.

"Yes... yes." Fujimura Shinichi's answer was rather stiff, as if he was still a little distracted by the friction with the body of Hotaru, who moved his right arm from time to time as he started to write.

"..." Hotaru, who was about to write something, suddenly stopped and looked at Fujimura Shinichi with a rather playful expression. "Um... Mr. Shinichi, is it my illusion? You seem to be a little nervous!"

"Ah..." Before Fujimura Shinichi could answer, Hotaru put down his pen and started to take off his coat! "!?"

But... it seems to be a little hot, otherwise why would I feel a little dry?

"In this case, do I need to ask some easy questions to help you adjust to a state where you can accept an interview as soon as possible?" Taking off his shirt, revealing the low-cut V-neck shirt inside, Hotaru pretended to be almost completely to Fujimura Shinichi. The greedy eyes that can be materialized are completely ignorant, but continue to ask. "Mr. Shinichi, what do you think?"

……

"Well, yes, there were five of us at the time." Fujimura Shinichi was already a little overwhelmed at this time, with an unexplained smile on his face, and his speech completely lost the steadiness that a scholar should have. "But then again, haven't you read the entire book, do you want to ask these questions again?"

"Well, after all, I am the reader, and Mr. Shinichi, you are the author, so it is obviously a better way for you to confirm it again. And you also understand that you always have to go through the complete procedure." Ying replied very sweetly smiled, and at the same time, the tip of the pen crossed the first few lines, ready to start writing about the case.

As for the number of lines that crossed? It's all a way to let Fujimura Shinichi relax completely and open up the conversation to him.

Educational background, favorite food, love experience, the three questions range from simple to complex, moderate to personal privacy, and in this way, Fujimura Shinichi's reserved line of defense is gradually opened.

Fujimura Shinichi, 44 years old, became famous when he discovered the bodies of members of the Franklin Expedition 130 years ago after traveling to Canada with Henry Ito 20 years ago.

But if this identity is excluded, he is just an ordinary middle-aged diaosi - or, maybe many people with bright identities are just diaosi when they don't need or are not pretending to be themselves?

Of course, there is a reason for such a bad slander flashed in Hotaru's mind - of course, in a sense, this is also considered despicable by her initiative to seduce: when she sees Fujimura Shinichi giving every appearance counts When good female students sign messages, they use "enthusiasm", while for girls and boys with average appearance, they use "steadfast" and "patient" as the subject before their names, and they also peek at it from time to time. When looking at places that shouldn't be seen, she knew that the other party was someone who could use evil ways to further break through.

So in such a position, her complaints are a bit like a bitch.

"Mr. Henry Ito is 51 years old, Mr. Fujimura Shinichi you are 24 years old, the expedition guide Yoshiko Kamada is 24 years old, Mr. Ito's assistant Mr. Moritomo Masao is 29 years old, and then there is the intern Gregory Asker brought by Henry Ito 21 years old, look at these names and ages, right?" Hotaru asked as she pushed the notebook gently in front of Fujimura Shinichi, and gently touched Fujimura Shinichi with the side of her body.

"Yes," Fujimura Shin nodded. "We were the only ones at the base at the time. The helicopter pilot arrived on the last day, and he had been missing for a day at that time, so obviously it had nothing to do with him."

"Okay, then the next question is..." When Ying said this, she suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. "This……"

Fujimura Shinichi seemed to realize something and looked at the memo form in Hotaru's hand.

The question written in neat and hard handwriting, obviously from a man, was: [Why did you ask the helicopter to leave without finding the missing Henry Ito? 】

"Ah, yes, it was I who gave up the search for Ito at that time," said Fujimura Shinichi after pondering for a moment~www.readwn.com~. "But... there's no other way. There was a storm coming soon. If we don't leave, we all have to die here."

"Okay, then, may I ask, was there a place like a high platform in your camp at that time?" After making a shorthand with exquisite handwriting, Hotaru asked the next question in the order of the memo. "At least ten meters or more."

"I don't think so, why are you asking this?" Fujimura Shinichi shook his head after thinking about it.

"Because... our analysis shows that Mr. Ito fell from a very high place during his lifetime, but the place where he was found was a very shallow crevice in the ice that seemed to be only over a meter deep - that's exactly what happened. , they can find Mr. Ito's feet seen through the frozen surface."

"..." Fujimura Shinichi pondered for a moment, then motioned to Hotaru to take his memories. "Give me the book, I remember as if it said on it."

"Huh?" Yingying was taken aback. "Have it?"

Although she can't say that she never forgets it, at least it is definitely a strong memory. It's hard to imagine that if there was a record of this in the book, she would ignore it.

"Sketch, I wrote a sketch on one page..." Fujimura Shinichi quickly turned the page. "By the way, it's here - you see, there are a lot of natural high terrain on the island, and a lot of dangerous rift valleys that are particularly deep. If you fall in there, fish out, and freeze to a shallower ...No, if global warming causes the glaciers to melt and then become shorter, making the deeper glaciers melt into what they are now, it will have the same effect! That's why you haven't found a way to make Ito from a high place. The ice platform that fell down, because of that big deep ditch...I mean the cracks in the ice, most of it has melted away."
