Conan: The Mechanic

"Cell creatures?" Qian Yu was stunned. "What are you doing with this?"

"It's just a personal hobby," Haibara Ai sat up abruptly and quickly closed the web page despite her serious weakness. "I have some special interests in biology."

"Are you reading from the beginning..." Qian Yu glanced at the issue number of the magazine and raised her eyebrows. (I moved the time of the Cell Biology sub-issue earlier, in order to cater to the advanced cell biology technology of Conan World Line) "How long have you read the tenth issue?" Although it is only ten issues, since it is a sub-issue of Nature Magazine , which represents the absolute gold content and depth.

"Just take a look at it," Haibara Ai regained her somewhat weak look. "Can you get me something to eat?"

"Hey..." Qianyu helplessly looked at Haibara Ai's expression and sighed. "Next time, remember to eat on time, and don't abuse your own body like this."

"Food." Haibara Ai repeated her request.

"Alright, alright, I'll go down and get it, wait a moment." Qianyu's expression can be described as crying or laughing - she didn't listen at all!

. . .

"..." When the sound of Qianyu's footsteps disappeared, Haibara Ai's tiredness instantly disappeared by more than half. She sat up with all her might, picked up the mouse, opened the computer's control panel, and added a password to her computer. Then she lay down again as if nothing had happened.

Sorry, there are some things you better not see, Mr. Homeowner.

. . .

"Speaking of which," Qian Yu came up with a dinner. "Where are you going on your trip tomorrow?"

"Don't you know?" Haibara Ai had already planned to start, but because Qianyu asked her a question, she could only answer first. "Going to catch stag beetles in Yamanashi prefecture - oh yes, you've been playing abroad this week."

"I almost died, what about playing..." Qian Yu pouted.

"Dead?" Hai Yuanai was slightly stunned.

"You eat first," Chiyu then noticed that Haibara Ai had no way to eat because she wanted to talk to herself. "Wait until you finish eating, don't--" Just as Qianyu was halfway through speaking, the phone downstairs rang. "I'll go take a call."

"Hello? Is that Chiyu?" The voice on the other side of the phone was all too familiar to Chiyu—it was Conan. "I'm Conan."

"Did something happen?" Qianyu was a little surprised.

"No..." Conan's voice was a little helpless. "Do you know the content of tomorrow's outing?"

"Go to Yamanashi Prefecture to catch stag beetles, right?" Chiba tried to answer.

"That's right," Conan explained. "So, we need to prepare something."

"What?" Qianyu raised her eyebrows and asked curiously.

"Banana, the rotten the better; wine, the sweeter the better. Do you have any reserves?" Conan asked.

"Wine?" Qianyu asked in surprise. "My wine here is very expensive... Need I go out and buy some cheap wine?"

"The wine in your place is very expensive?" Conan was surprised. "Um...preferably cheap wine...do you have any bananas?"

"There are bananas in the refrigerator. If you put them in the freezer, you may be able to make rotten bananas before tomorrow morning, but why do you need rotten bananas?" Chiba gave a positive answer, but did not understand why Conan made such a request.

"Catch stag beetles. It will be more efficient to catch stag beetles after preparing them." Conan's answer sounded confident.

. . .

The next morning, a school bus was driving on the highway.

"Cheap wine, rotten bananas, what you want." Chiba handed Conan a sealed bag. "Don't open the bag or it will smell bad. What do you want these things for?"

"I'll show it to you then..." Conan put away the things. "Ayumi, did you bring something?"

"Bring it!" Ayumi's answer surprised Chiba a little - was it the same bananas and wine as what he had prepared? Then why do you need to ask two people?

"Here!" Ayumi handed a dozen stockings to Conan.

"Huh?" Qian Yu was stunned. "Conan why do you need stockings???"

"It's just catching stag beetles!" Conan looked at Qianyu's expression, obviously misunderstanding something. "It has a serious purpose!!!"

"Otherwise?" Qian Yu's rhetorical question made Conan realize that he seemed to be too sensitive. "I just want to ask what the serious use is..."

"Uh..." Conan didn't know how to answer for a while. "Cough... when I didn't say it."

"Speaking of which, we went to Yamanashi this time just to catch stag beetles..." Mitsuhiko said suddenly a little disappointed.

"Why, do you want to see things like Takeda Shrine? (Takeda Shrine was built as a memorial on the residence of the three generations of Takeda leaders during the Warring States Period, and a large number of cultural relics related to the Takeda family are displayed~www.NovelMTL.com~ Chiba looked at Mitsuhiko with a playful expression. "A fan of Takeda Shingen?"

"Speaking of Takeda Shingen, according to legend, they have a station next to the mountain where we are going to catch stag beetles. If we apply and ask the doctor to pick them up, maybe we can go there for a day." Conan thought for a while. After that, said.

"I'm afraid we can only take a look, right?" Qianyu asked suddenly. "Tomorrow is Sunday. If you want to stay there for a day, you will leave on Monday morning, too late to go to school!"

"Heh." The corners of Hai Yuanai's mouth twitched slightly, and Qian Yu's laughter made Qian Yu feel a little hairy.

This guy, did you not tell me anything?

"The teacher told us yesterday," Ayumi explained. "We will also have a holiday from Monday to Wednesday."

"Could it be that the case has progressed?" Chiba asked Conan in English.

"The dean's fingerprints have been found, so the dean has been summoned and the interrogation is underway." Conan shrugged. "So, the police are digging deep into the school to see if there are other remnants in the school, and it will take time."

"When you say that, I feel something is wrong, but I don't know what it is..." Qianyu said after hesitating for a moment. "But I don't know what, and I don't even know if my worries are actually valid."

"Actually, I have similar doubts, but I'm also not sure... Forget it, let's look at the documents after we go back, and now think about something meaningful." Conan shrugged, but because the school bus suddenly came The stance changed and was pressed against the seat back by gravity. "Oh... Sure enough, look out the window, we're here, it's time to catch the stag beetles."

Looking out the window, the school bus had already climbed up the mountain-climbing road—to the place to catch the stag beetles.
