Conan: The Mechanic

"It is said that the police have been searching for more than a day since yesterday and have not been able to find Tomoyoshi Tanaka," Mitsuhiko said to the rest of the boy detective team as he walked out of the department store. "I don't know where he escaped to."

"He obviously escaped with the corpse. There's no reason to escape the search." Conan was also helpless. (Conan can't find the truth. The only condition for him to find the truth is to see the corpse that is still sleeping. But the corpse has been put away after Chiba left.)

"Ah!" Yuan Tai suddenly flipped through his schoolbag in a panic, "It's over! My Masked Superman autograph!"

"Masquerade?" Qian Yu was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted. "In the masked superman stage play you watched on the top floor, the autograph given to you by the masked superman actor??"

"Yes," Conan glanced at Yuan Tai. "You were buying books at the time, so I didn't know."

"This is 555555 that I want to keep as a treasure for a lifetime—" Yuan Tai said dejectedly.

"You didn't come downstairs with your signature. When I saw you, you only took a hot dog." Qian Yu's mouth twitched. "So it should be on the top floor, right?"

"I remember, Mrs. Yuan, you bought a hot dog with your autograph?" Conan looked at Mrs. Yuan. "Did it get lost in the hot dog shop?"

"Ah! Yes!" Yuan Tai suddenly remembered. "I just left it there! I have to get the treasure back!"

"It closes at six, it's five forty-eight now, are you serious?" Qian Yu glanced at her watch and asked.

"Twelve minutes is enough! Treasure is treasure, I have to bring it back!" After Yuan Tai finished speaking, she ran towards the department store.

"Are we going?" Qianyu looked at the others.

"Ms. Yuan has gone, of course we are going too!" After Mitsuhiko finished speaking, he followed.

"..." Qian Yu watched as the others followed one by one, and sighed while holding her forehead. "Alright alright..."

. . .

"Twelve minutes, is it enough?" Seeing that the anti-theft shutter door was completely closed, Qian Yu frowned and asked Yuan Tai in a bad tone.

"No... I'm sorry..." Yuan Tai scratched his head guiltily.

"Then what should we do now? Do we have to wait until tomorrow morning to go out?" Mitsuhiko asked in distress.

"Let's talk to the security room, he should let us out." Conan pointed to the diagram next to it, which stated that the security room was on the second basement floor.

When the group walked towards the stairs, Chiha's eyes swept over the public phone, and then focused on the underside of the public phone—although the light coming in from the window was not too strong, but at least one could see the phones connected under the three public phones. The lines seem to be broken.

A certain nerve of Qianyu was immediately tense, and the traceless umbrella that was originally placed in the side pocket of the schoolbag was immediately taken out and held in her hand. The telephone lines of the three public telephones were all disconnected naturally. This is absolutely a very small probability event, so small that it can be directly considered that this is man-made.

"Keep your footsteps softer, stay alert," Qianyu said to the others in a low voice after thinking of this. "It looks like the public phone lines have all been cut, something's not quite right."

"Phone line?" Conan was stunned, looked at the stairs in front of him, and then thought about it. "Ayumi Mitsuhiko Yuanta, you guys are waiting here now. If there are footsteps coming from below, come over quietly and tell us, don't make any noise! ​​Qianyu, come and see with me." (If the footsteps are from below If it comes from the other side, then Conan can hear it himself, without their reminder.)

Chiyu and Conan tiptoed to the phone and found that not only these three phones, but all six public phones had their phone lines cut off.

"The cross section is very smooth." Qianyu touched the port of the telephone line with her hand, and her tone was solemn.

"Artificial," Conan frowned and looked around. "I also feel something is not right."

"The question now is, why did they do this... oh yes, let them find a place to hide first, just in case." Qian Yu thought about it, but suddenly remembered that the focus should be on protecting others, rather than discussing what happened.

"You also hide first," Conan touched his watch. "Take care of them, please."

Conan really attaches great importance to Qianyu—just like Qianyu thinks Conan is the person who can communicate with him the most; after living on campus these few days, Conan also feels that Qianyu is the only person who can resonate with him. Mature and steady, not nearly naive like other little guys. During this tragic time when she became small, Qianyu was definitely her best spiritual partner.

"Can your self-defense weapon still be used?" Qian Yu glanced at the phone line cutout again. "If there are outlaws, they have at least knives to cut telephone lines. Once we are surrounded, we have little chance of winning."

Qianyu knows that Conan has some weapons that can be used to fight against adults, such as the anesthesia needle on the watch that Conan used yesterday to make Akira, who kept trying to escape along the way and almost grabbed Yuanta's clothes, fall asleep; There is also a pair of ingenious shoes that can kick the football used in physical education from the equipment room to the class field dozens of meters away in one breath. These two items are said to have been invented by the great inventor, Dr. Akasa, with the combat power that can definitely deal with one or two adults. But it is still unknown whether there are additional anesthesia needles in the watch or in Conan's hands, UU reading www.uukanshu. Second, since that pair of shoes has such a powerful ability, it must consume a lot of energy, so can the energy stored in these shoes allow Conan to fight against possible outlaws?

"I can still use the shoes twice, and there is still an anesthesia needle in the watch. Even if I am found, I can return the whole body." Conan greeted Qianyu and returned to Yuantai together. "Mita, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, listen carefully to me..."

. . .

On the first floor, a clothing store.

There are four rows of shelves for hanging clothes in the store, one of which is embedded in the wall. In the shadow of the clothes and the wall, a figure was looking out.

Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko had already hid in the fitting room inside the store, and Chiba was watching every move outside.

—— Chiba's thoughts returned to a few minutes ago.

"We need to find an absolutely safe place to put you all first." Conan brought Qianyu and the others to this clothes store and told Qianyu. "I understand that this store is an old employee of more than ten years. The people are very good, and there is little possibility of complicity, so this is definitely not a hidden place chosen by uninvited guests. Uninvited guests attack this place just for profit, and greed for profit. The best choice is the jewelry and gold and silver upstairs, so this kind of clothing store is definitely not the point that the robbers will investigate, you take them to hide here, and I will do the investigation after I have finished investigating the specific situation."

——Thinking back to the present.

"But then again," Qian Yu murmured. "Actually, these may just be my own unfounded worries... If it's just a false alarm, it will be very embarrassing."

A short figure appeared in Qianyu's line of sight, and Conan was walking in Qianyu's line of sight, pointing his left hand to the ceiling and his right pointing down to the right.
