Conan: The Mechanic

"It's impossible!" Mr. Kouenji said categorically—they had just received a letter from the kidnappers, if the hostage died, what would be the benefit to the kidnappers?

"?" Officer Megumi glanced at Mr. Kouenji's firm expression in surprise, and then exchanged glances with Gregory.

"Excuse me," Gregory asked. "Is Miss Kouenji Keiko the only daughter of your family?"

"Yes," Mr. Kouenji nodded. "What's wrong?"

"Five months ago, your daughter suffered a serious meniscus injury from a volleyball injury. So she underwent a new experimental operation at Rice Flower Central Hospital with technology provided by the United States and manpower provided by Japan, right?" Gregory continued. asked. "During that operation, the hospital replaced a titanium meniscus for your daughter."

"How did you know?" Mr. Kouenji asked in surprise.

"I am the patent holder of the new formulation of the titanium alloy used in the artificial meniscus," replied Gregory. "I also came to Japan to observe the operation on site."

"So, what do you want to say?" Mr. Kouenji asked again.

"We found this artificial meniscus on that body," Gregory replied. "The number above matches your daughter's number."

Having said that, Gregory took out a transparent plastic bag from his clothes pocket - inside was a titanium alloy that could be said to be brand new. "This is your daughter's meniscus. Do you still think the deceased was not Miss Keiko Koenji?"

"What..." Mr. Koenji began to doubt his previous thoughts. "This……"

"Well—" At this moment, Gregory seemed to have found something, wrote a note and handed it to Officer Mumu. "You didn't get an email from someone claiming to be a kidnapper, and then you got a little toe from your daughter?"

"What?" Mr. Kouenji was taken aback. "How did you know?"

"The corpse is missing a little toe," Gregory pointed to the trash can not far away. "Considering that there is an envelope with no sender written in it, and considering the residue on the table..."

Saying that, Gregor used his fingernails to push on the table, so that everyone could see a flesh-colored object on the table - it was a tiny bit of skin.

"Keiko is really dead?" After Mr. Koenji confirmed from the information provided by Gregory that Keiko was really dead, he suddenly became depressed. "how so?"

At this moment, a policeman standing at the entrance of the entrance suddenly said. "There are several letters from the recipient 'Tachibana Chiba'! There is also a schoolbag for a child!"

"I thought the backpack at the door and the umbrella on the side looked familiar," Gregory curled his lips. "Do you mind letting him come out and chat with me now?"

"Then," Officer Mumu said solemnly. "Mr. Koenji, can you tell us what happened?"

"Okay..." Mr. Kouenji sighed and said slowly. "Keiko disappeared the night before, and she went back to the house after dinner that night. We found out that she was missing because she didn't go downstairs for breakfast the next day."

"Is it possible for her to sneak out to a party or something?" Officer Mumu asked.

"No!" Mr. Kouenji shook his head. "Otherwise she'll tell us and say goodbye - she's not a child and we'll never stop her if she tells us."

"Excuse me, can you take us to see Miss Keiko's room?" Gregory asked.

"OK."

……

On the second floor, Kouenji Keiko's room.

"There seems to be no trace of blood here." The policeman with an ultraviolet flashlight reported. "The possibility of direct killing here can be ruled out."

"There is no sign of resistance either. It looks like it should have been handed in his sleep." Gregory looked at the floor-to-ceiling window. "Wait a minute, is there a balcony here?"

"Yes." Mr. Kouenji nodded. "Keiko's room is the best, with an independent balcony."

"And a fire escape..." Gregory pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows, walked into the balcony, and raised his eyebrows.

"All bedrooms on the second floor are equipped with fire escapes."

"It looks like how your daughter was taken away can be confirmed," Gregory said. "And at least two people joined forces."

"Are you sure, Mr. Gregory?" Inspector Mumu asked.

"Go down alone with Keiko," Gregory replied. "And at this point, someone needs to stabilize the fire escape."

"Mr. Koenji," At this moment, Chiba walked in while moving her arms and legs. "Are you reorganizing your family?"

"?" Everyone looked at Mr. Kouenji.

"Yes," Mr. Kouenji nodded. "How did you know?"

"When you imprisoned me in your bedroom, I saw your wedding photos, and the wedding photos showed that neither you nor your wife had a hairline of Mt. Fuji, but the photo of Miss Keiko on your bedside table showed that she was of Mt. Fuji. Hairline." Qian Yu explained. "Mt. Fuji hairline is a dominant gene, so Keiko has this feature shows that before the current Miss Koenji ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ there is a lady who provided Ms. Keiko with the dominant gene of the Mount Fuji hairline Genetic inheritance."

"Yes," Mr. Kouenji sighed. "It is for this reason that Keiko has a very bad attitude towards his wife."

"Excuse me," Gregory asked suddenly. "Do you know a man named Mauricio?"

"He's the Spanish teacher we hired for Keiko," Mr. Kouenji replied. "Did something happen?"

"We have to talk to him," Gregory replied. "After all, judging from the diary, this is the last thing she intends to do. Besides, officer, I intend to go back - researching the corpse is more my strength than researching the layout here. Also, Chiba, you also follow I'll go back to Rice Flower Central Hospital."

……

Originally, Mihua Central Hospital was only a temporary identification base for the Forensic Criminal Investigation Center of the Metropolitan Police Department before the renovation was completed. However, because Gregory and the Metropolitan Police Department signed an equal cooperation agreement, the Forensic Criminal Investigation Center has now suspended the renovation and put everything into place. The equipment was transported to the abandoned old building of Mihua Central Hospital, which was directly used as a new forensic criminal investigation center.

"Why are there only skeletons left?" Qianyu asked, looking at the skeleton in front of her. "If he disappeared the night before yesterday, how could he be turned into bones so quickly?"

"She was soaked in lye after her death, which made her remains very depleted," Gregory replied.

"Lye?" Qianyu raised her eyebrows because he thought of something.

"Yeah," Gregory said what Qianyu was aware of. "If there's no way to bury a carcass deep enough, but you want to keep animals from digging up the carcass too soon, then you need to cover it with lye - typical gangster practice. "
