Conan: The Mechanic

"There is no doubt that the two deceased belonged to the same group," Fujiwara said to Gregory, who was sitting on the chair anxiously and hitting the ground with his stick, putting down his ruler. "Although this deceased was not bitten through the abdomen by a rat like the previous male deceased (author: Cohen), we found the same special marks in her as the previous deceased - that is, in the remaining skin. Stretch marks of a specific width and residues on the skin suggest that they were all bound by similar kraft tape."

"Then, was there anything in the body of the dead man (Cohen)?"

"It seems that when some rodents gnawed on No. 1's flesh, they left a part of the residue in the mouth when the mice were grinding their teeth in the bone and the like. We extracted from the ribs... a kind of containing Paint with very low lead content, I think it should be foreign paint." Hotaru replied. "But even knowing this, it's hard to figure out where exactly it came from."

(In 1996, the Japan Paint Industry Association issued a declaration on reducing the risk of lead-containing paint. Before that, there was no relevant requirement to reduce lead content. In contrast, the United States set the lead content index at 600ppm in 1978)

"I didn't get anything here either. They checked some fragments of sound-absorbing material from the silverfish found on the dead body of No. 1, but even if combined with foreign paint, this is obviously not enough." Fujiwara sighed.

"Okay, maybe there's some lack of inspiration on your side for a while, but I might find out why they're doing it on my side—if that's what I think they're doing, they're pretty interesting." A copy of the pages of the book was thrown in front of Fujiwara and the others. "According to some documents, this was a fairly common practice, at least in ancient India and Rome, and it was also said to have been in Brazil ten years ago (a military dictatorship from 1964-1985) However, if it is a specific branch, according to which he is not using Nero's iron basin, nor the iron pants like ancient India, it should be inherited from the torture mode adopted by Diederik Sonay during the Spanish Habsburg Dynasty: the cage Put it on a person's stomach and heat it with charcoal to force the rat to burrow into the human body."

"Torture, that is to say, this is torture to extract a confession?" Fujiwara responded quickly. "Then he ended up dying with such a neat fracture of the spine... Was it because the executioners already had the information they needed?"

"It's very possible, so... to us—" When he said this, Gregory suddenly noticed Hotaru. "It's okay to count you as one of our own, right? In short, for us, we need to assume that the other party may already know a lot of things that No. 1 may know, so the next one is busy. And... the missing one may be If she becomes No. 3, she might get the same treatment."

"But then again, what exactly is the other party going to do? Wasn't it because he beat them up at the aquarium some time ago, so he took revenge like crazy?"

"Let's take a look first. After all, there are rumors that the relationship between the two is not very pure, so it may be an organizational matter that remains to be considered." Having said this, Gregory focused his attention on Chianti's on grandmother. "The question now is, what happened to the No. 2 deceased, who appeared in front of the murderer with her child, so he was killed together?"

"In this case, we have also observed the same situation as No. 1. After a long period of chronic torture, one blow is fatal. However, the way this old woman was tortured seems to be different. The chronic torture she suffered does not seem to be rat torture, but The exposed bones were repeatedly beaten with a hammer or the like, causing extensive bone fractures and fractures throughout the body, and the murderer finally cut an artery from the throat, killing him with one blow," Fujiwara replied.

"This gap is a bit too big. Could it be that the executioner was tired of playing with mice on No. 1 before, and now he wants to try something new?" Gregory frowned. "Forget it, you guys...you can find out if No. 2 has any other information that can confirm the place where they were detained and tortured during their lifetime. I don't believe that he changed the torture method and the ending method, and he can still change the execution location. Replace it too."

"I suddenly wanted to ask a question," Ying suddenly interrupted them. "If this series of events is related to you, was the bomb sent to my house also caused by you? They guessed that it might have been done by the Kazuto Kyousuke, but at noon I heard that it seemed that the wind was blowing. Tokyosuke said that my affairs have nothing to do with her."

"It may have something to do with us, but..." Gregory nodded, but shook his head again. "Seriously, the way this case is committed is very strange, the murderer seems to lack a torture paradigm - if the tape is probably the same person ~www.NovelMTL.com~ then how does the torturer look twice It's not like they were written by the same person. Maybe we're dealing with a very sophisticated criminal gang... No, isn't it a little strange that we say the other party is a criminal gang?"

"What's strange," Fujiwara said with a natural expression on his face. "We are all decent people in the upper class, good citizens. Of course those who tried to kill us were criminal gangs."

"Oh, yes!" Ying woke up from a dream.

……

That night, in a hotel.

"Hmm... it should be this room, right?" He wore a coat that completely covered his body, and a mask with sunglasses that covered his face (the one near chapters 730-735, who had an appointment with Fujiwara and the others, also Remember) looking at a puppy pendant hanging on the house number, swiping the door with the key card - the room was dark, but there was a fluorescent doll sitting quietly where she could see On the ground, it was expressed that there were indeed people waiting here.

Today, this customer is really generous. He actually gave so much in advance, and he promised to give more afterwards... Wait a minute, he didn't call a lot of people, and he planned to spend me alone in a group?

Suddenly thinking of such a thing, Nami was a little worried-she had not heard of someone who offered a high price to a group to tempt some girls to go happily, and then suffered a turn of events, although the money was earned. There are quite a few, but that kind of bad work experience is really something that many girls don't want to face. "Hey, Mr. X, let me ask, you should come alone, right? If it is a multi-person service, I think it should be in advance..."

Her words were interrupted by the sound of electricity. "!!!"
