Conan: The Mechanic

"Well, it should be this," Chiyu took out a video cassette box from a box. "Well, the label on the bottom of this box is the '仮面バイヤ' you want."

"Show me, I'll see if there's anything special she left me here - maybe I was too young, so I didn't pay attention to the messages she left me." Officer Chiba couldn't wait to reach out his hand , waiting for Chiba to hand him the videotape.

"Well, here it is." Qianyu handed the videotape to Police Officer Chiba, but just as he handed it out, he suddenly fixed his gaze on the outer side of the box of the videotape, showing a rather subtle expression. "Uh……"

But he didn't say anything, just watched Officer Chiba put the videotape into the CD-ROM drive above the TV.

After some inspections, Officer Chiba sighed. "It seems... that's what's left here, and there's nothing in front of it."

At this time, a very cute girl appeared on the screen.

"Thank you, 仮面バイヤ!" She waved her hand like this and said in a rather happy tone. But then, the picture ends and becomes a snowflake with no information.

"So cute!" Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Genta all showed quite excited expressions, while Chiba showed a thoughtful expression after being surprised.

"Hey, you..." Haibara Ai squeezed Chiyu's hand slightly dissatisfied. "Did something happen?"

"This face looks familiar to me, and... I always feel that Officer Chiba has made a lot of money this time, and even made a profit -- maybe it will become a lesson in search... No, the happiest young man in the Metropolitan Police Department. Single male police officer." Qian Yu glanced at him, and seemed to be helpless with Haibara Ai's jealousy, and described it with a subtle expression.

"How do you say this?" Not only Haibara Ai was stunned, but even Police Officer Chiba was equally surprised.

"I saw her answer," Qianyu walked to the TV and took out the videotape. "Although it is very hidden, if you look carefully, you can still see it..."

Saying so, he turned the videotape upside down. "Here, you can see very light handwriting, right? 'Private も 好き... followed by a color group I don't know what it is' [Author: Is that one?]"

Then Qianyu received blank stares from everyone - although he could see the remaining color spots that he couldn't distinguish under the mark of the auxiliary unit, it definitely didn't mean that other people could do the same thing. In other words, if even the auxiliary unit can only distinguish the stars and dots in the handwriting left 13 years ago, and then confirm that the other party may have written such a line of words through the method of matching the content of the text, others can read it. Clear what?

"I can't see clearly," Haibara Ai looked at it with a rather embarrassed expression, but she knew that her eyesight couldn't be compared with someone with electronic assistance like Chiba, so even if she couldn't see clearly, she didn't deny Chiba the opinion of. "You...can confirm, right?"

"I can't see anything," even Conan said with a helpless expression after fiddling with his glasses. "Even if there is really anything left, it has already reached the point where it is completely unrecognizable."

"Then, take this videotape and go find him when the time comes." Qian Yu suddenly raised his head. "Officer Chiba, didn't you say before that the other party will come? Take this opportunity to find her and tell her that the videotape was destroyed once, so he failed to receive this message, so if she wants, I hope she can What she wanted to say at that time was imprinted on you in a more direct way."

"Or you can call her directly and ask her. After she called you, you should have saved it..." When he said this, Conan suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly. "Wait a minute, Officer Chiba, when that classmate of yours called you a few days ago, what kind of call did you make, a mobile phone or a landline?"

"Mobile phone, what's wrong?" Officer Chiba obviously failed to understand what Conan's focus was.

"Mobile phone, that is to say, something she didn't have when she said goodbye to you. That is to say, she deliberately asked someone for your phone number, and then came to contact you." Qianyu understood it very well. "This... If I don't feel you, I don't think it's possible that I haven't participated in the class reunion for more than ten years, and then I specially attended a class reunion and then called you specifically to ask if you were going?"

"So, what do you mean... I should go over and talk straight to her?" Officer Chiba obviously felt a little reckless for such an extremely radical plan. "Is this...isn't it too abrupt and rude? In case we misunderstand..."

"It's better than saying nothing~www.NovelMTL.com~ And looking at this situation, the probability of your bet winning is at least 90%, and the remaining 10%... It will not be worse than it is now - you You must understand that now, the two of you are two parallel lines that will never meet, nothing can be worse than this." Haibara glanced at Qianyu's direction sadly - this made Qianyu a little baffled. "Don't think about things like the relationship between the two may be embarrassing after the confession. At most, it is just to wake up your dream after the confession fails. And if that's the case, it's just a matter of putting things that are always true. Exposing it in front of you will not let you sink into false illusions."

"When is the class reunion?" Conan asked. "If it's still too late..."

"Tonight, it's definitely too late..." Police Officer Chiba was still a little hesitant.

"Let's go then, make it all clear, and look carefully—let me ask, where is the location of your alumni reunion?" Qianyu suddenly asked with a rather subtle expression.

Haibara Ai seemed to realize Chiyu's thoughts, and looked at him with the expression of watching a play.

In the original book, Miike Miaozi wrote something on the videotape box with a water-based pen, and then kept it for 13 years, but...

Someone did a test on Zhihu. The handwriting of the water-based pen was written on the paper. After three years of storage in a windless + subtropical area, some styles of water-based pens began to fade, so I think... Sanchi Miaozi was easy to use at that time. It should be very difficult for a water-based pen that is easily blurred to be preserved for 13 years on a videotape box that is difficult to preserve handwriting, and it is even more impossible for Conan to paste the handwriting directly with water, so I Modified directly.
