Conan: The Mechanic

If Kudo's new generation watch is one... Mouri Kogoro should be 5.

So who are 7, 4 and 3?

wait, 7? Nana? (The Japanese pronunciation of 7 is similar to Nana)

But 4 and 3 thousand feathers really don't know who they are.

Thinking like this, Qianyu followed everyone into the elevator and let the elevator take everyone to the ground.

It seems that Mr. Xu Shengyi is planning to discuss this matter with them. . .

. . .

"My God..." Nishina rushed out of the elevator in a panic - just now, he was quite frightened by the elevator viewing window that could see the underwater scene.

Qianyu raised her eyebrows, feeling that Nishina might suffer. Because the elevator is connected to a corridor, and the corridor itself is a semi-cylindrical corridor made of glass, all that comes into view is water. . .

However, Nishina was very calm.

"Mr. Nishina, you don't seem to have any discomfort..." Conan asked Qianyu's thought directly.

"Huh?" Mr. PeopleSoft apparently had not recovered from the shock in the elevator. "Oh... in that case, I'm actually mainly afraid of the water surface. If I go underwater like this, I can't see the water surface, so I'm fine now..."

The group walked through the corridor and came to a hall. There are many ornate tables and chairs placed inside, apparently to be built as an underwater restaurant. What surprised everyone even more was that a sports car stopped silently

"This looks like the main reception room..." Nana Koyama frowned. "What's the matter with that old guy Xu Shengyi? Don't you want to greet the guests?"

"Mr. Asahi won't be given by Murakami..." Officer Shiratori's face was ugly.

"Given by Murakami?" Shido Yongming's ears were sharp. "What's the meaning?"

"Uh..." Officer Mumu said after hesitating for a while. "We need to clarify this matter."

"The police department," said Inspector Shiratori. "I want to go inside and check."

"I'll go take a look too." Kogoro Mauri said solemnly.

"Pay attention to safety." Officer Mumu nodded.

When everyone was immersed in Officer Mumu's narration, Qianyu and Conan looked at each other and left quietly.

Haiyuan gave Qianyu a sad look, and after hesitating for a moment, she chose to continue listening to Officer Mumu tell the story she had already heard.

. . .

"Dong dong dong." Conan knocked on the door of the president's office - if Xu Shengyi was not actually attacked, but just forgot their arrival, then knocking on the door is a necessary etiquette.

no respond.

Chiyu and Conan sank and pushed the door open.

It was empty, not even a trace of anyone working there.

"There is no sign of a fight," Chiba said while checking. "The whole room is perfectly furnished, nothing out of the ordinary. The post-it notes haven't been used yet. I almost wonder if he's working here."

"But he has already been here..." Conan said after opening the storage cabinet under the water dispenser. "Maybe another person was received."

"What do you mean?" Qian Yu came around curiously.

Conan showed Qianyu the inside of the storage cabinet, only to see that there were paper cups inside.

"The number of paper cups is 58." Conan looked at Qianyu and said.

"58?" Qianyu frowned—because the number 58 was too uneven, and it didn't look like the number that a full paper cup should have. But if you add two. . .

"So, do you think he and the guest each used a paper cup?" Qian Yu asked.

"That's right," Conan nodded. "And, did you just say that it doesn't look like anyone has used it? In other words, there are no paper cups in the trash?"

"Not even a garbage bag." Qianyu shook her head. "According to the signs you found, it is probably the guest or Xu Shengyi who disposed of the bag himself."

"I don't think something is right," Conan said uneasily. "From Xu Shengyi here to brother Xinyi, 9 to 1 are all together."

"All right?" Qian Yu was surprised. "No 4 and 3!"

"The foreigner's name is Ford, four," Conan motioned for Chiba to leave the president's office with him. "Officer Shiratori's name is Shiratori Ren Saburo, San."

"That's true..." Qian Yu pouted. "I thought it was Xu Shengyi who found out that he was likely to be the next victim, so I summoned them to discuss the matter. But I suddenly felt that this was probably a trap."

"Well," Conan nodded. "But the problem is that I am very curious about how Murakami intends to attack. After all, from the previous attacks, it is obvious that the murderer used the name 1 to 13 to kill some people, and only lightly attacked others. "

"In other words, Murakami-sama is going to find a way to kill the targets he intends to kill here?" Qian Yu frowned. "But how is he going to kill those targets in the crowd? We have nearly 10 people here. Even if Murakami has cold weapons, he can't deal with us! Unless he brings hot weapons, he thinks he is sure to kill us."

"That's not in line with his previous crime style, and secondly, as a person who has just been released from prison after a ten-year sentence, the source of hot weapons he knew before must have been cut off, and he can't get guns."

"Hey..." Qianyu sighed. "Let's see the tricks..."

"Yeah." Conan said helplessly, and at the same time went to a room at the end of the corridor with Qianyu and opened the door.

However, the door did not open.

"Huh?" Conan frowned and twisted the doorknob again.

The door still didn't open because the handle wouldn't turn.

"Locked?" Conan frowned.

Chiba also frowned.

Only this door is locked, could it be that ~www.NovelMTL.com~ seems to be overthinking us," Conan said relieved, and pointed to the label on the door. "Look. "

【ワインセラー】——Wine Cellar

"Uh..." Qianyu also reacted instantly. "This kind of door must be locked...it's normal."

The wine that can be used for collection must be valuable, and the value of the wine in this wine cellar may even be comparable to a vault full of treasures. If this kind of place is not locked all the time, it is too easy to lose things.

The two exchanged and left the corridor.

After a while, the door handle of the locked wine cellar turned slightly, and the "click" of the lock was very clear.

A person came out.

"This guy can really give me trouble!" he said speechlessly.

Afterwards, he took out the door key, locked the door of the wine cellar again, and left here.
