Conan: The Mechanic

"..." Qianyu unfolded the traceless umbrella and walked into the ruined hotel with the others.

As soon as you entered, you could see a mess—in the middle of the lobby floor, a large crystal chandelier that should have been suspended from the ceiling had fallen and shattered.

"Is it a natural factor?" Conan glanced at the trace. "Or was it vandalized like this?"

"Was it vandalized?" Mouri Kogoro first glanced at all the internal passages leading to the lobby, and then relaxed a little and teased. "This kind of chandelier falls to the ground, and it is often deliberately destroyed - if anyone's crystal chandelier can be of such poor quality, then their family should have closed down long ago."

"I don't even rule out the possibility of performance art," Chiba shrugged. "After all, think about it, [ruin hotel], right?"

"But then again, this place is really shabby," Kudo Shin glanced at the other decorations around him. "The door panels have fallen off several times, and the wall skin has been torn off a lot... If it was abandoned naturally, it would have been abandoned for a long time. And if it is performance art... I don't know which wealthy family has such a thing. Leisurely, I purposely built such a place where no one but the homeless would live in."

Qianyu was about to say something casually, but his expression suddenly froze. Instead, he leaned over slightly and assumed a standard fighting stance. At the same time, along with a very direct kicking action, the Umbrella without traces was also turned to the direction of an inconspicuous door not far away.

No doubt, there are people there!

"Who is it!?" Kudo Shinichi was also taken aback and asked sharply in the direction Qianyu was facing.

However, the comer is not the enemy

"It's not a coincidence that you came here," a homeless man in very sloppy clothes pulled a small suitcase and walked out from behind the door listlessly, as if he didn't care about Qianyu and the others. "This place is about to be closed down and demolished, so no one can live here..."

After saying this, the tramp really gave them a look, showing a somewhat surprised expression.

"You are obviously dressed so well, why did you come here to take refuge..." He swept around several people. "Could it be that he was kicked out of the house by his wife? If that's the case, you can stay here for one night and go back tomorrow to apologize... In short, I wish you good luck, living here is definitely not as pleasant as at home. , it's nothing more than a little bit better than sleeping in the wind."

"Uh..." Mouri Kogoro felt as if he had been insulted, and his expression distorted. "you are not!"

"Excuse me, how long have you lived here?" Looking at the suitcase, Kudo Shinichi suddenly asked.

"About two years?" The homeless man stopped and answered Kudo Shinichi's question. "I've been living here since the hotel closed due to mismanagement two years ago."

Two years... so long?

"Then, please ask again!" Kudo Shinichi couldn't hide the joy in his tone. "Has anything big ever happened here?"

"Uh..." The tramp seemed to remember something immediately. "On April 4th, my birthday, someone with a lot of background seemed to have parked the car in the yard, and someone who claimed to be a real estate agent came over and opened the door of an underground room that used to be a mechanical room. It was blocked, and I also warned a few comrades who were alive at the time, including me, not to think about going in. To be honest, I don’t think they are any kind of upright people, and they might have done something wrong in it. After that, out of the idea of ​​avoiding potential risks, I also thought about escaping here, but... I am a homeless, if I don't live here, where can I go? Only now, It's going to be demolished soon, so it's impossible for me to continue living here."

"Anyway... If you are interested, the door over there is in the direction of the basement, and the mechanical room is where you go down." After saying this, the homeless said goodbye to them, and went to the direction of the door on his own. go.

After he left, the three of them looked at each other and nodded.

It seems that what the client wants them to look for should be related to the mechanical room that was sealed off on April 4th, right?

"You kid, you should be able to open the lock, right?" Kogoro Mori glanced at Qianyu.

"Ordinary locks are fine, I brought the unlocking cube." Chi Yu's expression was reluctant. "If it's a particularly troublesome kind, or if it's a double-keyhole design, maybe it's easier to remove the door."

"Let's take a look first," Kudo Shin nodded. "Hurry up, it's already half past eleven. Although I don't know how far the case has progressed, at this critical juncture, the sooner the better."

As if Kudo reminded everyone about the time limit, Chiba and Mouri Kogoro showed some worried expressions on their faces.

"Then... let's hurry up!"

……

"Click!" The door lock made an unlocking sound, followed by...

"..." Chiyu made a gesture to Kudo and Mouri Kogoro, who had been hiding to the side, and then kicked the door, using this force to dodge to the side.

"Bang!" With the dull kicking sound and the crisp sound of the door colliding with the wall, the door of the mechanical room was opened.

There are no traps or traps.

"Okay, it should be safe." Holding an open flashlight, Qianyu walked into the mechanical room with a very cautious attitude. "Good guy...Is this place cleaned up?"

When Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Kogoro walked into the machine room together~www.wuxiaspot.com~ they felt similar to Chiba.

This place is really a mechanical room, not some Sanguang sweeping the scene?

"Check it carefully. If you really loot everything, you don't need to lock the door." Chiba said what Mouri and Kudo wanted to say, and she picked a random cabinet and started searching.

He really chose a cabinet at random, but he found that the problem lies in this cabinet. "Well, this is..."

A tote bag lay quietly at the bottom of the cabinet, and Chiba's auxiliary unit read the traces of gunpowder the moment she opened the cabinet door.

"I think, I may have found it!" When Chiba gently opened the handbag and glanced at the contents, she said this while calling for Kogoro Mori and Shinichi Kudo to come.

Gloves, headgear, red protective clothing... But the most conspicuous one is the one stacked on top of these things...

"COLT, GOVERNMENTMODEL, AUTOMATICCALIBER.45" Chiba read out the words on it.

There is no doubt that this is a government special version of Colt's MKIV pistol, caliber .45 (11.43 mm).

"What are you talking about, what did you find?" Kogoro Mouri didn't quite understand.

"Pistol," Qianyu said softly. "And I don't think it's a model. And if you think about it in combination with the things next to it...

"No one robbed the bank, right?"

(It should be this one... The details of the .38-caliber government hammer on Baidu are not the same as in the original book. In contrast, the .45 government type drawn on Colt's official website is more like )
