Conan: The Mechanic

"Huh? Who are you?" A doubtful voice came from behind Chiba, who was concentrating on thinking.

"Huh?" Qianyu turned her head in confusion, only to see the fat police officer in orange walking in. "I remember, you are... Officer Mumu, right?"

"Ah, are you a friend brought by Conan and the others? I remember your name is... Tachibana Chiha?"

"Yes." Qianyu nodded. "Excuse me, shall I continue reading the dossier?"

"Actually, I don't think the serial kidnapping case during this period was the first case," Mu Mu walked to the side and took down another file. "Look at this file, and be careful not to—ah, you're wearing gloves, when I didn't say it."

"I wore it before I read the dossier, brand new plastic gloves," Qianyu moved her fingers. "Never deface the dossier."

After speaking, Qianyu closed the file of the recent kidnapping case, put the notebook aside, and opened the file handed over by Officer Mumu.

On December 10, 1993, three kidnappers were surrounded by police after planning a bank robbery. The police promised to prepare a car for them and let them leave with a hostage on the condition that they would not harm or take other hostages.

The police chose to go back on their word and installed four micro-dynamites under the seat of the car. The power of the explosives was controlled to a dose that could only kill the person directly above the seat. Explosives under the seat, rescue the hostages.

Unfortunately, only one robber was killed by the explosives in the end - all three robbers were wearing full body armor, if not for one of the robbers, it may have been because of the wrong sitting position, which caused the bomb to go into the bulletproof. The dead corner of the clothes may not even kill the robber.

In the early morning of December 11, 1993, a package of minced meat containing the hostages was found in front of the Metropolitan Police Hall, with a letter attached to it.

"Huh?" Qianyu swept halfway through ten lines at a time, and was suddenly attracted by a line of dazzling words.

"Although family members trust the police, they are just a pile of patina!" (copper has two meanings, one is copper, and the other is slang, referring to sliver)

"This..." Qian Yu frowned, then closed the file and reopened the file for the past few days.

"Just call the police, they're just a pile of rust anyway!"

"Call the police if you want, anyway, the police are just a pile of rust!"

"You can call the police or whatever, anyway, the police are just a pile of rust!"

These three sentences were directly recorded in the dossier. They were recorded by the police around the family members who had already called the police with a tape recorder. The authenticity was 100%.

"So, Mr. Police Department, do you suspect that this is the beginning of all this?" Qianyu Mingwu asked Mumu.

"Well, after all, the letter from a few months ago is a top secret, and most people have no way of knowing it. Oh, by the way, we should close the dossier room at ten o'clock, so hurry up and leave."

"Can you give me some more time?" Qian Yu glanced at her watch and found that it was half past nine, so she asked quickly. "Human life is really a matter of life!"

"..." Mu Mu pondered for a moment, then walked to the file room administrator on the side. "Zoff, what time can you leave today at the latest? Oh, at half past ten, then you can leave on time. I'll take over at that time, and give me the key when the time comes. What if I open the door tomorrow? It doesn't matter, I It'll be open here at six o'clock."

Seeing that Megumi should have acquiesced to her behavior, Qianyu began to infer her original thinking again.

The candidates, the time, and the kidnapping process have all been listed, and now I can't come up with anything new with the new clues provided by the police officer Mumu. Then, a consideration that should be considered in itself and is also guided by various non-mainstream behaviors of the kidnappers is the location!

"Officer, do you have a map?" Qianyu raised her head and asked the file manager. "Mihua Town and surrounding areas, especially the northern border of Mihua Town!"

"On the shelf over there, the paper Map of Rice Flower Town." The administrator pointed to the shelf next to it, and there were several maps that seemed to be read by many people.

If you want to use the location related to the case to convey the information of the kidnapper, consider the possibility that the kidnapper intends to use only the location notified to the family on the phone to express the information, or intends to use the location that the police can know to express the information.

1. The three points of the kidnapping site - the ransom payment site - the corpse dumping site for each event are connected.

2. All events are in chronological order, connecting the place of kidnapping - the place where the ransom is paid - the place where the body is thrown.

3. Connect the kidnapping locations of all events, the ransom delivery locations, and the corpse dumping locations.

4. The place where the ransom is paid for each event - the place where the corpse is thrown is connected at two points

5. All events connect the place where the ransom is paid and the place where the body is thrown in chronological order

6. Connect the ransom delivery locations of all events and the corpse throwing locations

Just researching the first possibility has already yielded results.

The connection line in the first case is a greater-than sign, the connection line in the second case is a less-than sign, and the connection line in the third case is a straight line. What's more interesting is that the three connecting lines are on the same straight line as if they were written on the manuscript paper! Moreover, the turning points of greater than and less than signs are actually connected! (That is, the three lines are like this: XI)

This is obviously the message the robber wanted to leave, but the question is, what does this message mean?

"The name of the robber who was killed by the bombing is..." Qian Yu opened the old file again, and her eyes full of hope were full of helplessness again. "Hirata Hidetake...has nothing to do with xi..."

"xi, xi, shi-ne (to die)?" Qianyu tried to spell out the possible pronunciation of xi. "But if you want to pronounce the sound of ne, the ending sound can't be made by connecting three dots... Neither nI or ne will work."

"Huh?" A voice came from the door of the dossier room. "Zoff, this is it?"

"The Mumu police department specially approved it to let him read the files of the serial kidnapping cases."

"Is that so? Then also show him the autopsy report I just made?" The man who was obviously a forensic doctor walked up to Qianyu and asked.

"Show me, it may be useful." After Chiyu finished speaking, she took the autopsy report from the forensic doctor.

When Chiba read the column of time of death, her pupils shrank suddenly.

The third victim was found at 5:53 in the morning at a garbage disposal site in Sanchome. The post-mortem time was 6:18, and the results of the post-mortem were very subtle. The body parts were placed in strict accordance with the order of the human body. The body temperature was close to normal body temperature, and the relatively intact left thigh had no stiffness at all. A large amount of evidence showed that the third victim was victimized between 5:40 and 5:53.

The third victim's file was reopened to the testimony section.

Two residents who were awake before 5:30, who lived next to the place where the body was thrown, said they did not hear the sound of any engine.

So, how did the corpse get here?

Motorcycles and cars are both engine driven and will definitely be heard.

For bicycles, if you want to carry a body of nearly 20 kilograms, you must use a bag. But in that case, the order of the corpses would be completely confused. Could it be possible to rearrange these corpses in just 15 minutes? What's more, the murderer didn't even get a single limb wrong when splicing the corpse! Even the almost identical thighs, calves and other parts are completely spliced ​​correctly! The reason why the forensic doctor submitted the autopsy report at night is to check whether there is really not even a splicing error that is upside-down. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

How could such a reorganization be completed within 15 minutes, in a place where there could be no precise inspection instruments like the place where the corpse was thrown?

The first possibility is that the murderer did not put the corpse in the package, but brought the corpse intact, such as on a tablet.

If the corpse was directly shredded at the kidnapper's residence, then placed on a flat plate, and transported carefully, it would definitely need to be put down from the flat plate, and then assembled in sequence, which would also take a lot of time. Relative to the second possibility, labor is thankless.

The second possibility is that the murderer brought the girl to the scene where the corpse was thrown, and the corpse was shredded on the spot!

Qianyu continued to read the autopsy report sent by the forensic doctor, and became more convinced of the second situation.

The first reason is that large doses of sedative drugs and sleeping pills are extracted from the muscle tissue, which is obviously to prevent the girl from resisting. (A piece of rag is enough to prevent making a sound. Only when you need to take a living girl out, you need to prevent her from resisting)

The second reason is that the garbage disposal point of 3-chome is more than 1,000 meters away from both exits of 3-chome. For the girl who died at 5:40, it is impossible for the girl who died at 5:40 to cross 1,000 meters with only human power, and then put the body slowly and completely. . Even if dry ice is used as a backing plate, and the dry ice is allowed to sublime naturally at room temperature and then disappear, it is impossible to sublime cleanly at 5:53, and such a large amount of dry ice cannot be easily moved by one person. (The dry ice solid plate that can hold girls weighs about 45 kg)

Then, Chiyu's top priority now is obvious, stop the kidnappers before they bring Ayumi to the place where the murderers and corpses are thrown!
