Conan: The Mechanic

Having no time to think about it any further, Chiba said something in English in Haibara Ai's ear before returning to the room.

Since it is possible that Doyle did not hide himself, but someone hid Doyle, there are obviously many more places to be searched, especially when it was previously set to [Doyle lost himself] places excluded below.

But when Doyle left, everyone was at the door, and it was impossible to capture Doyle manually—in other words, maybe someone used something similar to an organ to capture Doyle?

But then, who could have such an understanding of Doyle that he could use Doyle's characteristics to design such a trap?

Ghana's photo? But he didn't look like an insider just now, and as the legitimate owner of Doyle, he didn't have any need to do so.

Then, if the other three guests did such a thing, their purpose was obviously for Doyle, a dog worth one million yuan, so they had to find a way to take Doyle away from here quietly.

And the best way to do this is to smuggle Doyle out with the belongings picked from Garner's house, taking advantage of the good news of Garner's property.

so…

Chiba came back to the living room and looked around.

First of all, it is Miss Lianzi's speaker. The price of the speaker itself is not high, and the outer frame of the speaker has a lot of space. If the internal parts are removed, theoretically, Doyle can be locked inside.

But... Qianyu, who has had a large furniture relocation, knows that it is impossible for such a large set of speakers to be brought back by a car, and only a furniture moving company can perform this kind of work-in terms of their efficiency, Doyle is sending the speakers back. When it arrives, there is a high probability that it has become a corpse with zero value.

It would be better to use an incinerator to directly lock Doyle, so that it would be more convenient to light a fire.

Thinking like this, Qianyu stood in front of the speaker, temporarily giving up her plan to check the speaker, and turned to look at the other labeled furniture that could fit Doyle and could be easily taken away today.

Oh, yes, the place also has to be spacious enough to install the next trap that would attract Doyle, who was going to eat dessert as he was accustomed to.

What kind of signal can produce more silently than that bell—

Chiba suddenly thought of a possibility. If someone prepares a bell that can ring elsewhere, prepares the same pile of cushions, and even prepares the same dessert as Garner's Teriyaki, it may indeed challenge the appeal of Japanese rooms. …

Qianyu stood up, walked out of the living room, and walked quickly towards the Japanese room.

If he remembered correctly, the bell of the Japanese room has been specially adjusted. If he walked to the lake at twelve o'clock in the evening, the bell would not ring...

Opening the door of the Japanese room, Chiba looked at the wall clock in the Japanese room.

Compared with the time reported by Chiba's auxiliary unit, the time of the wall clock is a little slower, but for a household wall clock, this kind of error in the early part of a minute is not very serious.

It is now, 13:17:27, clock time... 13:19

Looking at the clock that had just turned one notch, Chiba, who was standing on the moved stool, took a deep breath, and then directly moved the clock's hands back to eleven fifty-nine.

Then, wait.

At this moment, the voices of Ayumi and the others appeared at the door of the Japanese room behind Qianyu.

"Arthur," Ayumi took a pillow and placed it in front of Arthur's nose. "Come on, try it out."

"What are you going to do?" Qianyu asked, looking at Ayumi's movements. "This guy shouldn't be a search dog or something?"

"But Brother Garner said that Arthur was trained by his parents before, so maybe he can do this!" Mitsuhiko said excitedly. "See if Arthur can find anything!"

Saying this, Arthur sniffed the pillow in front of him, ran into the Japanese room, stopped in front of the pile of cushions, and took out a blue cushion.

"Does it really matter to you guys—" Qianyu frowned suddenly and looked at the pile of cushions.

After one blue cushion was drawn out, there were still two blue cushions and five brown cushions left in the pile of cushions.

But at about twelve o'clock, when everyone brought dessert to the Japanese room to find Doyle, the entire pile of cushions seemed to have only two blues and five coffees, and only seven cushions.

Where did the eighth pad come from? Or - is this the cushion that was used to attract Doyle before, and was just brought back by the real murderer?

Qianyu frowned and looked at the cushion Doyle was holding~www.NovelMTL.com~ At this moment, Qianyu suddenly realized something and looked at the clock.

The clock time was already twelve o'clock, but no bells rang.

"Oh!" Qianyu raised her eyebrows. "This……"

This bell was really adjusted so that it wouldn't ring, so that bell just now came from—

At this moment, Ayumi and others, under the guidance of Teruya Garner, asked Arthur to give up the pad used by Doyle and go to find the next source of scent related to Doyle. Chiba also jumped off the stool and marched to the living room with the detective team and others and Arthur.

"Wow—" Arthur stopped for a moment at the door of the living room, and finally walked to the door. Chiba, who planned to go to the living room to see if there were any clues, just glanced at Arthur and walked into the living room. Behind him, the detective team and others walked towards the entrance.

At this moment, Qianyu suddenly found something under her feet. "?"

Leaning down, Qianyu picked up the things on the ground and scrutinized them carefully.

A sponge-like substance that feels like...

Qianyu put the sponge-like thing in her hand and felt it carefully.

This is a basic material that he is very familiar with. Although the quality is not high enough to be part of his equipment materials, the improved version of this material is a frequent visitor to Chiba's designs.

This is a substitute designed by Germany who cut off the supply of natural raw materials during the First World War. Because of its excellent sound insulation and heat insulation properties, as soon as countries know it, they are rushing to imitate production.

Its name is glass wool, and it is a common industrial material, especially the one commonly found in this room...

Chiba turned her attention to the direction of the speaker.
