Conan: The Mechanic

"What incident needs to be solved, can you please describe the incident in detail?" Kogoro Mouri asked, narrowing his eyes slightly because of the flashing image that suddenly appeared in the darkness.

However, the next moment, after hearing the client's reply, he widened his eyes again in surprise.

"No, no, you misunderstood. I won't tell you which case you need to investigate." The client said leisurely. "What the case itself refers to is also within the scope of your reasoning."

Kudo Shinichi frowned, while Chiha just stared at the person's sunglasses on the screen without saying a word.

"Let's deduce what kind of work we need to do?" Kogoro Mouri was a little dissatisfied. "With all due respect, a detective's job is to get as much information as possible from the client, and then to bring back enough information for the client - if you don't give us enough information, we are detectives, It's impossible to bring about enough results to satisfy you."

"Of course I will give you some hints. You can look for the case I entrusted you to investigate on this basis." The client continued.

"But before these tips, let's give a few detectives a very valuable warning - incompetent detectives are not qualified to live in this world."

"What does this mean?" Kogoro Mouri felt that things seemed to be worse than he thought. "Not qualified to live in this world?"

Qianyu briefly shifted her gaze from the screen to the one in her hand... Well, if you look closely, it's more like a watch than a bracelet ID.

"Of course it means literally, please look here." The client's unhurried voice made Qianyu raise her head again - along with the sound of snowflakes, the screen was switched to four cameras clearly placed in the same cell. image.

And in this cell, there is a person locked up.

"Aaron?" Mouri Kogoro murmured.

"Do you know him?" Kudo Shinichi asked quickly.

"Ah, his surname is Long, and he's a detective friend of mine..." Kogoro Mouri looked at the figure on the screen with concern. "he……"

"Hey!" It seemed that he felt the switching of the camera—perhaps he turned the camera to aim at Mr. Long before giving the picture, and made a sound. In any case, Detective Long felt the switch of the screen, stood up, waved his fists indignantly, stared at one of the cameras and said. "I have already handed over the investigation report to you, how long will I be detained?"

And when he waved his fist, Kudo Shinichi captured a detail - on his wrist, he also had the same ID bracelet as theirs.

"Detective Dragon," the client's voice sounded. "Unfortunately, you still failed to solve the case in the end..."

"What did you say—" The client continued to speak before Detective Long's angry voice stopped.

"An incompetent detective like you is not qualified to live."

A crisp and audible keyboard tapping sounded, but Qianyu did not capture any wireless signals.

But only half a second later, on the screen, the bracelet that Detective Long was wearing made a sound.

"What is this?" Detective Long looked at the bracelet on his hand in shock. "Why the countdown?"

"Farewell, Detective Long," said the client unwaveringly. "Don't worry, this will be a painless process and you will be relieved in an instant. When you get there, let's communicate your faults with the two detectives, Motegi and Gunda."

"No, please wait!" Detective Long was completely panicked. "Please don't do this, what kind of investigation results do you want, please tell me, I will be able to re-issue you a report you need! So please suspend this thing for now... Please wait a minute, please It's gone!"

Before he could finish speaking, the images of the four surveillance probes on the screen were all erased after a flash of light and turned into a snow screen.

"Aaron!" Kogoro Mori murmured, while Kudo Shinichi glanced at the secretary who had been standing beside the screen.

As if knowing that Detective Long had been shattered to pieces, the secretary's smile became even brighter.

A group of monsters, whether it is the client or the secretary, they are all monsters!

But... these are not strange enough, or there are even more strange places——this is the judgment of Chiba alone, but because he doesn't know why, he can only continue to observe.

The picture suddenly cuts back to the client's perspective.

"You see, this is the power of the C4 bomb - and now, such a thing has also been installed into the ID in your hands."

Mouri Kogoro's face immediately turned ashen, but he just glanced at the bracelet and didn't dare to act rashly.

Now that they have all been put on, if you choose to remove them here, what is the difference between doing it and doing it in front of the other side? Even if you really want to die, you can't choose such a stupid way to die.

A moment of silence.

"The time left for you is until ten o'clock tonight," the client said again. "If you still can't give me a satisfactory answer at that time, then I can only reluctantly ask you to follow in the footsteps of Detective Dragon.

"At the same time, I need to remind you that you all have the same explosives on your wristbands~www.NovelMTL.com~ and I can also remotely control them - don't try to run away thinking I see If you can't get there, then touch the bracelet, or I just need to press a button and you'll all die. At the same time, if you try to ask the police for help, there's only one way to go.

"As for those of you who are traveling with you, their bracelet settings are similar, but with an additional function - the outermost periphery of the fantasy park, from the walls to the outer jurisdictional waters, these parts have been installed by my assistants. Infrared sensing equipment. If they leave this area, they will be identified as [wanting to escape], and their wristbands will be directly detonated. I hope you can understand, after all, I don’t have many people.”

"Of course, you don't have to be too nervous - after you leave here, you will be told that they have the right to not leave the paradise before ten o'clock in the evening. At the same time, I have arranged ten rooms in the lounge until now. The capsule rest cabin at 10 o'clock in the evening is enough to meet everyone's rest needs. At the same time, as long as you can complete the task I explained, then in terms of commission, I can fully satisfy you as much as you want."

This guy... Rather than wanting the truth, it is better to say that he hopes to make them obey and give a truth that he likes?

"Okay, let's make a long story short, here's my tip for you: TAKA3-8. Well, you have about 12 hours left, so please go and unravel the events I want you to investigate - for you , but also for those children."

Accompanied by the client's half-talking, half-sighing, strange words, the screen went out.

Outside the room, the bell tower standing on the castle made ten sounds, repeatedly hitting Qianyu and the others' hearts.
