Conan: The Mechanic

[Really or not, in such a close place? 】

When Chiba locked the direction through the sound of gunfire, and analyzed the approximate range of the distance based on the performance of the shotgun, this was his real first reaction.

Hunting a bear is not so simple, because generally bears will not take the initiative to touch the bad head of people who are not panicked, so they often flee far away after discovering humans. In such a situation, it is difficult for a human who is not superior in observation to find an opportunity to bring the opponent closer to the shooting range without the opponent being aware of it.

Although Chiba has not played related professional sports, his teacher in college once went to Canada to hunt bears, so he once vividly described for them how difficult it is to hunt a black bear in mobile combat mode—— As a team led by professional hunters, they will more often choose to arrange ambush work on the bear's usual route of action.

Qianyu is now faced with such a somewhat delicate choice: should she put aside the task of finding Yuan Tai and go to watch the fun, or continue to search for Yuan Tai?

Although I am a little sorry for Yuan Tai, even if they delay the progress in this area a little, in the end they will be able to find Yuan Tai no matter what. And if you give up the job of watching hunters deal with bears this time, I am afraid it is really difficult to find a second chance to witness such a grand scene.

Forget it, let’s report it to Haiyuan first—For Conan’s side, let’s just let…

Until then, Chiba noticed a very serious thing: according to the direction finding analysis results of the auxiliary unit, Haibara Ai is now far closer to the location of the shooting than he and Conan were, and even close to before. The presumed distribution line of the hunting net drawn by the barbed wire of the hunting area that is occasionally seen. In other words, Haibara Ai is now unusually close to the barbed wire in the hunting area, and may even be trying to pass through.

This guy, didn't he confuse the direction, thinking that there is the direction of the safe zone? If that's the case, I'm afraid something bad will happen...

[Calling out - Haibara Ai] Chiba's will immediately sent to Haibara Ai's mobile phone through the base station of the auxiliary unit. However, no one answered... and at the same time, Chiba also found that the signal feedback from Haibara Ai's mobile phone seemed to remain stable, as if the other party hadn't moved at all.

【! ! ! ? ? ? 】Qianyu was really worried now, and hurriedly started to contact Conan. Even if Haibara Ai may not be able to answer the phone, maybe Mitsuhiko can still communicate through the armband, just use the phone to communicate with Conan, and then let him communicate with Mitsuhiko...

"Crack!" At this moment, the second shot rang out without warning.

If the first shot can be identified as bear hunting, the second shot is another matter, especially the second shot half a minute after the first shot.

If it was a bear hunt, the second shot after 30 seconds would be meaningless, because 30 seconds after hearing the gunshot, the bear would have fled far away, or the hunter would have been shot to death.

Unless... the target of the second shot and the first shot is not a bear, but a human. And if Haibara Ai's phone falls near there...

Chiyu's expression had completely changed, and she rushed towards the direction of the cell phone signal with the invisible umbrella that had been deployed into battle form.

At this moment, his mood was very tangled - because he didn't want to hear the gunshots continue to sound, but he also wanted to hear the gunshots continue to sound.

If the gunshots rang out, it meant that the shot just now missed, and Haibara was still safe. But the shot itself may hit her...

And just when he was about halfway through the distance, Conan's text message came back.

【could not be reached! ! ! ] - Conan

Haibara Ai's cell phone didn't answer, and Mitsuhiko's detective armband didn't respond either.

In the end what happened? ? ?

With such concerns, Chiba finally arrived at a place less than 5 meters away from Haibara Ai's mobile phone.

But he couldn't go any further, because he was already standing on the edge of the barbed wire -- Haibara Ai's phone fell on the ground on the side of the hunting area.

Without any hesitation, Qianyu adjusted the perception function of the auxiliary unit to the highest power (after the high-intensity running was over, it provided sufficient energy space for the perception of the highest power), and immediately began to climb up the space between the neutral zone and the hunting zone. Dividing barbed wire. And just halfway through the climb, the fully open auxiliary unit gave him the first ominous message.

He caught the smell molecules of blood.

……

Two minutes later.

"..." Qianyu silently looked at the corpse in front of her—it seemed that the smell of blood came from this thing.

It was the corpse of a bear cub lying on the ground before a mass of grass, with a rope cut in half around its neck - a rope hanging from a branch about two meters high directly above the bear From the stump, it seemed that the little bear was once hung by someone, but was later cut off and put down.

However, this is not the time to consider these first. If there are cubs here, it means that there should be a female bear, but the auxiliary unit has not detected any relevant information.

The little bear of this size is probably less than a year old, why didn't the mother bear accompany it?

With such confusion, Qianyu carefully turned the bear from the prone position to the lying position~www.readwn.com~ and looked at the bear's body to check if there were any clearly visible scars. Then he saw a shotgun bullet hole in the bear's abdomen, which was apparently the cause of the bear's death.

From this point of view, this little bear should play the role of a bait - the only purpose of the hanging little bear is to attract its mother and give hunters a chance to conduct an ambush attack. Of course, judging by the fact that no hunters were gleefully examining the shot female bear, it was a miss.

But the question is, why was this little bear put down? If Qianyu is a hunter, he can continue to ambush in another place. After all, the mother bear has a deep-rooted obsession with saving her children. As long as she has the body of the cub, the mother bear will eventually come back.

Just as Chiba was thinking about how this somewhat confused situation came to be, a meaningful message came from the auxiliary unit.

"!?" Qianyu turned around and looked in the direction the voice came from.

"Why are you here?" It was an elderly hunter who appeared to be over 60 years old, and while asking this, he walked in his direction with a shotgun on his back.

[It shouldn't be a bad person...] Chiyu has already made this conclusion in her heart: If the other party has malicious intentions, as long as he shoots himself at that distance, no matter how precise his auxiliary unit is, it cannot be in the background noise of the forest. The sound of preparation before firing was captured under interference.

[Maybe you can ask him, have you seen Haiyuan and the others? 】

With this thought in mind, Qianyu put down the corpse of the little bear by the grass and walked towards the old hunter.

But what he didn't know was that on the other side of the grass, the body of a man with a pierced abdomen was lying there.
