Conan: The Mechanic - Chapter 1016

At 9:40, Kitanosawa Village, in front of the women’s toilet of the supermarket.

“You finally came out,” Chiba looked at Shiho, who had an uncomfortable expression. “I can understand that you are slow to go to the toilet, but why is it so slow to wear this…”

“There’s a queue inside,” Shibao gave Qianyu a blank look. “And to be honest, it doesn’t quite fit my hip shape, and it’s a little uncomfortable to wear. I’ll definitely throw it away when I get home.”

“So the conclusion is that when you come out next time, you must not take underwear just because you think you won’t need it,” Chiba sighed as they walked out with Shiho. “I really feel ashamed when I wake up in the morning…”

“Me too,” Shiho turned his gaze slightly to Chiba’s opposite direction. “I thought it wouldn’t happen during this time, so I didn’t post it, and it leaked out… But to be honest, it’s more pleasant to solve it in advance rather than expect it to be replaced at a later time?”

“Slut.”

“It’s each other, the **** animals that have already gotten on top of each other,” Shiho chuckled lightly. “I bet you are now looking forward to the moment when you get home tomorrow.”

“To be precise,” Qianyu also smiled and shook her head. “It’s the 24 or even 72 hour spree that begins the moment we arrive home – vendors of consumables will love us!”

Such a frivolous topic came to an abrupt end after turning a corner.

Time to do the right thing.

……

“I’m the police officer of the Criminal Division of the Niigata Prefectural Police Headquarters, and my surname is Watanabe.” The young man introduced himself as he looked at Chiba, who was accompanied by the local old patrol chief. “According to the instructions of the superior, come and take the two corpses you found together – lead the way, let’s hurry up and try to come back before the afternoon, so that we can send the corpses before the appraiser gets off work.”

“Go back? Now?” Chiba frowned and looked at the police officer in front of him – this was a young police officer from the police station in the central prefecture of Niigata. Judging from his age, it should be a new member who joined the headquarters as a professional group. In other words, his first few years may have been elsewhere, and he didn’t have the opportunity to do much practical knowledge of the natural climate here. (Of course, considering the threshold of the professional group, the basic theoretical foundation should still be there.)

“Yes,” Watanabe Police Department nodded. “If it was just one of the deceased murdered by this Miss Yonehara, you could wait a little longer, but now the second deceased has appeared, so we need to hurry up.”

“No, I can’t go up now,” Qianyu immediately shook her head. “It was a lot of snow yesterday, and the daytime highs were a bit high today, and the combination of the two can make that hillside very unstable – why do you think we came down so early? It’s 11.20am , the current temperature is 6 degrees higher than when we came down, and the snow layer is far less safe than when we came down the mountain in this environment, and there is a high possibility of wet avalanches with loose snow layers.”

“…” Watanabe glanced at the old inspector, and the other party nodded, indicating that Qianyu was right. “Okay… Since you said there is danger, let’s do some other investigations first – may I ask, when will the snow conditions here return to a level where it is safe to enter?”

“In the past, this kind of thing actually depends on the thoughts of the village,” the old inspector shook his head. “You should also know that the vibration generated by the propeller of the helicopter can trigger avalanches to a certain extent, so sometimes we will actively trigger small avalanches after planning to deal with potential hidden dangers. But this time… What you need is the corpse in the snow slope, and if you trigger it like this, it may cause the corpse to be wrapped up with the falling snow to a place where it cannot be found, so the gain is not worth the loss. If I want to say… If I remember correctly, Then there will be a cold wave tomorrow night, and there will be no new snow during this period, and the snow layer should be relatively stable by then – we climb from a relatively gentle place in the morning and should be able to bring the body back.”

“So, there’s no way to start a field search until tomorrow night, right?” Although it was an established fact that the investigation was delayed, Watanabe Police Bubu’s face could not see how frustrated he was. “Before that, we can only stay in the village?”

“Although it’s a little troublesome, that’s all it can do.” The inspector nodded.

“Okay, then I can only live here for two days. During this period, I should cooperate with the police station to complete the investigation of the missing persons and determine the possible identity of the body found.” At this point, Watanabe will The main energy is completely concentrated on the inspector. “Has this little brother made a record?”

“I did, but the documents are in the police station.”

“Then, let’s stop chatting outside, let’s talk at the police station.” Having said that, Watanabe looked at Chiba again. “This little brother, you can go back first, we will contact you if something happens.”

……

“I thought ~www.mtlnovel.com~ that you might have escaped from that evil constitution,” Kudo Shinichi laughed and teased, looking at Chiba who took a cup of fragrant coffee from Maurilan. “I didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect it. When I came there, I was crying in shock, and I ran into two cases.”

“You, a great detective with a long-standing reputation in the criminal investigation world, are not qualified to speak to me… But I’ll say one thing, I’ve had enough of this kind of thing,” Qian Yu’s mouth twitched slightly. “Honestly, it wasn’t because I was frightened – it was just a little tired.”

“Yeah, in the past six months or so, although we obeyed the law, we encountered more lives than before.” Shibao made a cup of black tea with a tea bag and said leisurely. “It’s hard for ordinary people to get tired of the [dead] thing like us.”

“Okay, let’s talk about the unnecessary gossip here.” Kudo Shinichi opened the small notebook on the table and showed one of the pages to Chiba. “You said earlier that you found the body of a man in his 30s, right? Although the police haven’t gone up yet, I think maybe your memories can match the person’s information.”

“Huh?” Qianyu fixed her gaze on a color photo above. “Oh, it should be this person… By the way, how do you have his information?”

After speaking, he looked at the data again.

Hikawa Shogo, 34 years old, currently working in Tokyo.

And behind such a simple introduction, a line of small words was supplemented with parentheses—the rest of the notes were formatted relatively loosely, and only here seemed like something was suddenly added, filling up the paper.
