Conan: The Mechanic

"What is this?" On the flight from Athens back to Tokyo, Chiba looked at the invitation letter in her hand suspiciously.

"At 10 a.m. on June 1st," Hoshino Kaede replied, adding milk to Cointreau orange wine. "The Syndora Group will present an epoch-making revolution for the world at the Cornflower Municipal Building. I hope you can come to witness this epoch-making moment. After you get there, find me at the venue."

"Sindora?" Qianyu knows the Syndora Group very well - this company invented the five-sense stimulator that amazed the world three years ago by the genius boy Hiroki - it can stimulate the brain's brain through a small amount of current. In a way that makes people seem to actually see, hear, smell, taste, and touch computer simulations of things that don't exist. This invention was even listed among the top ten scientific breakthroughs in the world by Science magazine in 1991, topping the list! Chiba also had a special understanding of the Syndora Group. "Sindora's product launch... I'll be there on time."

"You will see the performance of God," Hoshino Kaede said with a smile, taking a sip of Cointreau. "It's a real miracle."

"I look forward to it."

. . .

"I'm back~" Dragging the box, Qianyu opened the door of her room. After looking around the brightly lit living room, he greeted him while changing his shoes.

No one answered.

"Are you asleep?" Qian Yu raised her eyebrows. "Are you busy with something?"

After thinking about it, Qianyu packed her luggage, took a shower, and changed her clothes. When he came out again, he found that Haibara Ai seemed to be still in his room and never came out.

"..." Qianyu was silent for a moment and decided to check the situation at home.

In the shoe cabinet, there are several pairs of Ai Haibara's shoes, and there is no change compared to a few days ago.

The arrangement on the coffee table is no different from the arrangement a few days ago.

"Is something wrong with this guy?" Qianyu frowned as she looked at the arrangement that hadn't moved for a few days—the whole villa seemed like no one had lived there at all, and there was almost no change from when she left.

After checking a few things, Chiyu finally felt relieved.

The stock of white bread is obviously low, and the production date of the bread in the refrigerator is after Chiba left.

The cooking meat that I didn't take out of the cupboard before was taken out and replaced the frying pan I used more often.

The plastic packaging of the sandwich appeared in the trash can-judging from the packaging, it should be a high-end product bought from an import store. When Chiba took it out, it was found to be the packaging of sandwiches filled with butter and blueberry jam, and there were more than one. "This guy has a pretty good life... eh?"

Just below the sandwich packaging, an empty shell of a tube of thermal paste lay quietly in a garbage bag.

"This..." Qianyu was a little surprised - the cooling paste is applied to the CPU of the computer to cool the CPU, why does Haibara Ai want it. . . Did she use my computer? wrong. . . My room was locked before leaving and she couldn't get in without a backup key. So. . . Did she buy a computer? ? ?

Wait a moment. . . I seem to be missing a sign of something not so good. . .

In the trash can? There is nothing in the trash to be concerned about.

in the fridge? The food is also very normal. I haven't seen the corresponding taboo food for white bread at home. It's nothing more than that white bread is purchased uniformly on Wednesday, and it is not absolutely fresh now.

On the coffee table? If there is no change, how could it be possible to observe an ominous omen?

Shoebox? The shoes are all neat, which is normal.

Could it be that you found something when you got home? Unlock the door, walk in, and open the door. . . ! ! ! ? ? ?

Qianyu quickly walked to the door of the villa, opened the door, and looked aside.

Two bottles of milk and two newspapers lay quietly beside the door, Qianyu's expression instantly turned pale, she hurriedly closed the door and ran to the second floor.

She left for five days, which means that Haibara Ai took three days' worth of milk and newspapers. This shows that she knows to get milk and newspapers. So, why didn't she take the milk and newspaper for these two days?

Thinking about it this way, if Haibara Ai bought white bread at a rate equal to her consumption, then her appetite would be too big. A more reasonable explanation is that Haibara Ai didn't eat bread at all these days. And the number of sandwiches tells the same thing.

Moreover, judging from the packaging status of garbage, combustible garbage and hazardous garbage have been packaged, but they have not been thrown away. This also shows that Haibara Ai did not throw away the garbage on the two garbage collection days on Thursday and today.

Why didn't you throw away the rubbish? Obviously not forgotten, then. . . I'm afraid it just can't be thrown away.

"Boom!" Qianyu came to the door of Haibara Ai's room and knocked on the door.

no respond.

"Excuse me?" After Chiyu said a word, she pressed Haibara Ai's door handle and opened the door.

Very dark. . . Facing the darkness in the whole room, Chiyu couldn't see anything for a moment. But after a while, Chiyu got used to the darkness and discovered a sudden light—and the scene next to the light.

The light was the screen of a computer placed on the desk~www.NovelMTL.com~ and Haibara Ai, who had been missing, was sitting on a chair, lying on the computer, motionless.

"Haiyuan?" Qianyu frowned, turned on the light, walked quickly to Haiyuanai's side, and patted her on the back. "Grey Yuan?"

no respond.

"Haihara!?" Qianyu helped Haihara Ai who was lying in front of the computer, leaned back on the chair, and called out again. At this moment, Chiba realized how bad Haibara Ai's face was. In Chiba's cognition, Haibara Ai's current situation can be said to be the second worst - the worst is the time when Haibara Ai appeared in front of Chiba's house in the rain.

"Ugh..." Haibara Ai's facial expression was like an unsealed iceberg, there was a slight loosening, and then she opened her eyes.

"What the **** happened to you?" Chiba's eager expression appeared in Haibara Ai's reluctantly opened eyes.

"Tachibana..." Haibara Ai wanted to say something, but failed.

"Wait a minute!" Qianyu suddenly thought of something, and immediately left Haibara Ai's side. After a while, he ran back with two bananas and a glass of water. "Drink water first."

After feeding Haibara Ai some water to restore some of her physical strength, Qianyu peeled off two bananas and fed them to her—bananas are high-energy food and are easy to digest, so they are the best choice for emergency energy replenishment. . "How did you pass out here?"

"I don't know..." Haibara Ai's voice was still weak.

"I'm afraid your hypoglycemia is caused by hunger. How long have you not eaten..." Qian Yu said, and glanced at the computer screen - it was the cover of a magazine.
