Conan: The Mechanic

At 9:40 a.m. on July 5, the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Huh?" When Qianyu and Haibara Ai were led by a police officer to a room with a closed-circuit television that was turned on, they saw Conan and Maurilan who were just as surprised as they were. "Why are you here?"

"Mr. Mori brought them here." Before Conan and the others answered, the police officer had already given the answer. "It seems that the Matsumoto manager heard that Conan's child has a very keen observation, so he asked Mr. Mouri to bring him with him - Miss Moliran is here to take care of Conan."

"Are you also called by the manager of Matsumoto?" Conan asked Qianyu.

"Uh..." Qian Yu raised her eyebrows. "I don't think...it's probably not because of this—Haihara and I found a part of a body missing from a corpse yesterday at Dr. Akasa's house... Wait a minute, didn't Dr. Akasa tell you?"

"Limbs?" Conan was stunned. "I was watching the World Cup last night (July '94 was the US World Cup, Conan was watching Ireland 0:2 Holland and the United States 0:1 Brazil in the round of 16), so I was at home and didn't have a chance to meet the doctor. Then today I was directly pulled over by the uncle in the morning. Forget it, related matters should be mentioned in the meeting later, right?"

"I don't think so," Qianyu shook her head. "It might be another case today."

"Do you know what's going on?" Conan asked quickly. "Tell me?"

"You'll find out later," Qianyu spread her hands. "Why should I spoil the show?"

...at 10:05, the meeting recorded on CCTV started on time. Kogoro Mori and Officer Shiratori were sitting on chairs in front of a blackboard with several photos, while on the other side of the conference room, Officer Matsumoto and Officer Meguro sat in front of a blank drawing board. In front of them, police officers from all over the world sat at wooden tables two by two, ready to listen to their reports.

"The case we are discussing today is a serial case code-named 'Avid Gambler'," Officer Shiratori picked up his notebook and stood up. "In addition to the five cases that we've reported to each other before, there was a car accident on the expressway in Odawara yesterday, and our officers found at the scene of the accident a photo with the same location as the previous five cases. Mahjong tiles, so it can be concluded that this car accident is also part of a chain of cases. However, considering that the sixth case has a special method of crime, and the investigation has not been completed due to time constraints, we will discuss the first five cases first. "

"First of all, except for the sixth case, the other five cases have the same way of committing the crime. According to the investigation, they should all have been knocked out by a stun gun, brought to the place where the body was found, and then used a large knife in the right hand to stun. The deceased was stabbed in the back. At present, the main question we have about this is why the murderer must use a stun gun to stun and then move the unconscious victims to the dumping site before committing the murder? In addition, these six cases The picture of the mahjong tiles in the case is on the blackboard behind me—six seven-pie tiles painted red in different circles, with the backs separated by a vertical line, with A, E, A, The upside-down L, H and Z symbols are currently unknown."

"Besides, after identification, these deceased people have also lost and only lost one thing that they usually carry. The specifics are mentioned in the information paper we sent to all of you, please everyone. read."

Of course, it was impossible to provide these information to Chiyu and the others, but Chiyu still managed to learn about these things—he saw what the six victims had lost through CCTV footage collected near the blackboard—necklace pendants, wallets, Body bag, motorcycle key ring, cosmetic box, mascot doll.

From a statistical point of view, if everyone loses and only loses one thing they often carry, the possibility of this phenomenon is a non-human random result is very small, and it is very likely that the murderer did it on purpose. But the question is, for what purpose did the murderer take these things?

At this moment, the door to the room was opened - Gregory walked in.

"Have you seen this?" Gregory said after taking a look at the TV. "There is nothing nutritious in the back, Qianyu, you and your girlfriend come out, the Matsumoto manager is looking for you."

"Administrator?" Qian Yu was stunned, and looked at Kiyoshi Matsumoto, who was still sitting upright on the CCTV.

"This CCTV has a long delay, and now the manager has come out," Gregor tapped the ground with his cane. "Come with me, don't make the manager wait too long."

…

Manager Matsumoto didn't ask Chiba and Haibara Ai too many questions, but just asked them to recall the scene at that time, and then gave them a detailed summary of the two sets of serial murder cases, vaguely expressing the hope that they could Look for the clues hidden in it, and once you find it, contact him directly through his mobile phone.

But when they walked out of the recording room together, they encountered something very interesting.

"Matsumoto police officer!" Maurilan, who was originally standing in front of the beverage machine to buy drinks with Conan, saw Matsumoto Kiyotaka and Chiba walking out together, and hurriedly said hello to Matsumoto Kiyotaka. "Long time no see, is Teacher Sayuri okay?"

"You are..." Matsumoto Kiyotaka's face flashed a trace of confusion, and then he showed an expression of sudden realization. "Oh, you're from the Maori family... Sayuri is still the same, that's all."

At this moment, a singing voice from a very unsuitable voice entered their ears.

"Crow—why sing? Because it's on that high mountain?" A police officer with a funny expression came over to them while singing the nursery rhyme called "Seven Crows".

To be honest, although his voice is not suitable for singing, singing this funny song has a different sense of matching.

But where Chiyu's eyes didn't cover, someone's expression changed instantly.

"Officer Yamamura, where did you hear the song just now?" Conan ran to the police officer and asked.

"Huh?" The man known as Yamamura was obviously a little upset, and then he opened the document half of which was in his chest pocket and showed the information page to Conan. "Maybe you still know something, I've-"

Having said that, he tapped the prominent word "Police Department" on the information page.

"Yamamura Police Department, why are you singing this song?" Conan's mouth twitched, and then he changed his name to Yamamura.

"Because I heard a keyboard dial sound similar to this song when I was in the bathroom just now," Yamamura explained. "Almost the same key sound as "Seven Crows"."
