Conan: The Mechanic

But although Hotaru seems to have fooled Sato Mikazu as a batter, it is clear that the other party is not so forgetful.

[My name is Miwako Sato. I think I may remember who you are. We may need to talk about what happened that day and see if you can provide more relevant details. I hope you can cooperate, because I know your school, I think you shouldn't want those things you do to be known by your classmates, right? I live in the Green Terrace Park Building, so how about we meet at 9:30 tonight at the 2nd staircase in the basement car park? 】

"..." Frowning, Ying raised her head and looked ahead - there was the stairway of the underground parking lot of the Green Terrace Park Building.

If the last time she had a head-to-head encounter with the other party, it should have been a year ago, right?

……

One summer morning a year ago.

"Really, why doesn't this old pervert react at all?" Yingying, dressed in a casual summer dress, stood in front of the electronic door lock of the apartment building, looking at her phone angrily. "Obviously he asked me to go to his side, but so far there is no response at all, what is it!"

Just yesterday, she had just received a doctor from the Dongdu Affiliated Hospital, first eating out, and then taking her home. But not long after taking her home, the drunk guy suddenly told her that he was not feeling well today and could not enjoy her according to the agreed transaction content, so he expelled her after paying part of the deposit and asked She came back to accompany him during the day the next day (the weekend).

"If it weren't for the convenience of paying, and I buckled the clothes I bought with me yesterday, I would just pigeon off you." Muttering like this, Ying continued to call the other party in dissatisfaction, trying to call the other party up. , but finally slipped in when a young woman entered.

But in the process of going up the stairs, Hotaru felt a little uneasy - the doctor's apartment was on the top floor, and the woman was on the same path as herself when she was about to go up to the top floor... Out of professional habit , Ying stopped immediately, made the appearance of reading a text message, and asked the other party to go home first, leaving a private space for himself to visit customers alone. After about thirty seconds, she came out of the stairs, and after confirming that the other party had returned home, she walked to the apartment where the doctor lived.

"..." Still with a somewhat guilty expression, Ying looked around before opening the door of the apartment that the doctor had not closed - probably because she had fallen asleep after drinking too much, so she opened the door for him in advance. Is it open?

But just as she opened the door, she took off a shoe at the entrance while closing the door, ready to put on slippers...

She found that the professional woman who was on the same road with her was standing in the dining room in front of the entrance, looking at her in astonishment.

"Huh?" Ying showed a surprised expression.

"Who are you and why are you here?" the other party asked immediately.

"I... I came to visit a friend, and I came in when I saw the door was open, and now it looks like I walked into the wrong room—" He explained with a bit of embarrassment and reasons that even he could not convince himself, While wearing shoes on one foot and socks on the other, Ying walked to the front of the shoe cabinet, looked in the direction of the living room in the room through the shoe cabinet that was not too high, and confirmed whether she was real through the impressive living room setting. Wrong room - she remembered there should be a picture of the doctor in the living room when he was doing his Ph.D.

But after taking two steps to the side, she saw that the middle-aged doctor who was taking advantage of her yesterday with her eyes and salty pig hands was lying on her stomach in front of the professional woman, and the floor in the abdomen was full of blood. . The professional woman's hands were also full of blood, and there was a fruit knife under her feet.

"Ah..." Ying stared blankly at the middle-aged doctor's corpse, and then took a ghostly glance at the face of a professional woman. "You... it's you..."

"Ah?" Only then did the professional woman realize what Hina was thinking. "Wait a minute, I didn't kill people—"

But such words obviously had the opposite effect. Hotaru hurriedly put on the shoes that he had taken off before, while holding his backpack, he was about to open the door. "I didn't see anything, I I I I went home first!"

"Hey, don't go, listen to me!" The professional woman walked over quickly. "Who are you and why are you here?"

Ying ignored her and just wanted to leave here quickly, but just as she was about to unlock the door, a professional woman grabbed her hand. "You let me go!"

"Who are you and why are you here!" The professional woman's strength was stronger than the thin Yingying, so she used brute force to pull Yingying back. "Don't get me wrong, I didn't kill people, I was his sister!"

……

About fifteen minutes later.

"Officer Megumi asked me to help here, what happened?" Officer Sato looked at the helpless male policeman standing at the door of the apartment.

"There's a little girl here, she's not very cooperative... Then I'm not very good at starting..." The other side said embarrassingly.

"Little girl?" Officer Sato looked inside the house, but saw a young woman sitting in a chair in a relaxed manner. "That...isn't that little girl?"

"It's not me, it's the one I'm looking at—she tried to escape several times just now."

"I obviously don't know anything, why don't you let me go!" With the clothes bag the doctor bought for her, Yingying sat on the sofa by the wall resentfully. "He was fine when I left yesterday. He was drinking alone. I came a little later than his sister this morning. What can I have to do with this case?"

"..." Sato frowned as he looked at the bag in Hotaru's hand - it was a clothes bag. From her description, it seemed that it might be the clothes that were deposited with this man yesterday. Considering the value of this dress, it doesn't seem like a girl of this age can afford it. Could it be that...

"What's your relationship with the deceased?" Sato asked ~www.NovelMTL.com~ um... it's like meeting a new friend," Ying replied after thinking about it. "I still have something to do, if you have any questions, How about we just finish talking here? I don't want to go that far from the Metropolitan Police Department. "

"..." Sato sighed. "how old are you?"

"Eighteen years old," Ying added her age by one without changing her face, making her the legal age. "Ask me what do these do?"

"Because, if you leave something here, we will treat you as a criminal suspect no matter what, so even if you don't cooperate, we have every right to take you back as a criminal suspect for interrogation." Sato first declared his power, and then began to persuade. "I heard just now that the deceased was a doctor. You can say that you came here to consult the deceased's medical affairs when you took the record! As for what you are doing, it doesn't really matter. After all, he is already dead. We can't sue him, let alone do anything to you."

"..." Yingying bit her lip, and finally nodded. "Okay, but can you get me a pair of sunglasses and a mask? I don't really want to be seen."

……

"That kind of hell, I don't want to go to a second time," Ying muttered in a low voice as he walked down the stairs. "It would be embarrassing to meet my brother..."

Saying so, she rounded the corner of the stairs and entered the last flight of stairs leading to the underground parking lot.

Then he saw a young man collapsed outside the stairwell door, with blood all over his back - this was obviously not an accident, but a murder.

And she was called here by text message, I'm afraid it wasn't an accident, but a blame.
