Conan: The Mechanic

"Is what you said true?" Suzuki Jiroji showed a surprised expression. "That bacteria really appeared?"

"We have reason to be so suspicious," the doctor nodded solemnly. "Although some of the symptoms are inconsistent with the rumors, he did have blood spots on his body, which is consistent with the information I have seen about bacteria before. To take a step back, even if this thing did not come from the National Tokyo Microbiology Research Institute The bacteria at the center is also apparently something from a red Siamese cat product, or maybe even an improved version of it."

"Is the danger very high?" Suzuki Jiroyoshi said solemnly.

"It might be quite high," the doctor nodded. "If possible, we are afraid that we have to isolate Honda, and we need to get the best medical treatment for Honda as soon as possible... I am afraid that it is more important to do the best possible isolation treatment, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

"..." Suzuki Jiroji glanced at the clock and world map next to him.

"I think it's not a good time to return to Japan now." Suzuki Jiroji sighed. "We are now about 1,800 kilometers away from the main island of Japan. Let's not say whether our isolation measures can last that long, and Honda's own condition does not allow it."

Having said that, Jiroyoshi Suzuki walked to the world map and pointed to a faint line on it—probably his planned route. "We should move on now, and if we sail for another four hours or so maybe it's a better solution than turning back."

Now, they have set sail for about 18 hours, and the sailing distance has exceeded 2,000 kilometers. At present, the closest place to them, and most likely to provide the best medical treatment, is...

Suzuki Jiroji slid his finger a little down to the right and stopped at a spot that stood out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. "If it is here, there should be good enough medical conditions, right?"

Next to his finger, the name [Guam] stands out.

"That's American territory," the doctor hesitated. "While it is true that adequate medical care could be provided for Honda, the diplomatic aspect..."

"What else can I do?" Suzuki Jiroji shook his head. "I will send a message to China to negotiate and communicate, and you will be responsible for the health and safety of Honda and everyone."

……

"Do you think this is really a symptom of that bacteria?" Chiba, who was sitting beside the bed in her cabin, asked Haibara Ai who was beside her.

"I think...it's possible," Haibara Ai nodded. "Although the whole symptoms and the symptoms that Fujioka Takamichi said before are not particularly mild, I think if this is the mechanism of action of the bacteria and some bad conditions in the person themselves, I think it is possible to cause these symptoms."

"But isn't the onset of this symptom a bit slower?" Qian Yu's expression was obviously difficult to relieve. "If these symptoms occurred in the early hours of this morning, that would be an acceptable explanation, but these symptoms came too late, right? It's been more than 15 hours since he got on the airship."

"Unless..." Haibara Ai suddenly thought of something. "If the bottle was only put there recently..."

"Poisoning?" Qian Yu was stunned and immediately denied this possibility. "Is the person who was poisoned dying? This thing is indiscriminately infected. If even he himself is infected, the trouble will be big."

"So, slow release?" Haibara Ai asked again. "If there's something like ice cubes on the top of the bottle that can block the top of the bottle, and it will take a few hours to melt and release the bacteria - well, this is impossible..."

"Yes," Qianyu shrugged. "After all, this bacterium can't live that long at room temperature... If it is really infected by this bacterium, the time node for symptoms to appear will be much earlier than now."

"Or late symptoms," Haibara Ai shook her head. "If it's a late symptom of the bacteria, the late onset could explain it."

"This is..." Qianyu nodded. "If it's really bacteria, then the trouble is very, very big... Fortunately, the bacteria can only be spread by short distances through droplets, which means that as long as the Honda is isolated, we are basically safe."

"Hmm..." Hai Yuanai seemed a little worried.

"Don't worry, you're definitely fine," Qian Yu said comfortingly with a smile. "If it's bacteria, you should already have those symptoms of a bacterial infection by the afternoon."

"If Honda's symptoms are only late symptoms, it should be like this..." Haibara Ai also showed a relaxed expression. "You shouldn't be too worried."

At this moment, Chiba's cell phone rang - the call came from Gregory, thousands of kilometers away.

"Hello?" Qianyu answered the phone with some confusion.

"Boy, what are the symptoms of the patient named Honda on your airship?"

"The early symptoms of high fever, headache, severe abdominal pain and vomiting appear to be similar to meningitis, but the cerebrospinal fluid is still clear."

"It still sounds like a fluid brain," Gregory smacked his lips and said lightly. "After all, this kind of cerebrospinal fluid cannot be proved by clear cerebrospinal fluid, unless you can get another cerebrospinal fluid at this time tomorrow - of course, although at the speed of acute meningitis, there is a high probability that the person named Honda will not survive. till tomorrow."

"Mainly we found the vial of that red Siamese cat in his room~www.readwn.com~ so we suspect that these symptoms are the red Siamese cats improving on the bacteria they stole from the National Center for Microbiology Research in Tokyo Version……"

"It can't be an improved version. It takes a long time to improve a bacteria. It is impossible for them to change the bacteria to the extent that they can change the symptoms these days!" Gregory immediately rejected Chiba's idea. "It's possible that the red Siamese cat had researched a bacteria and used it on the guy named Honda."

"Then what should we do?" Qian Yu asked the most important question at the moment. "If this bacterium is contagious..."

"Don't think about such a small probability event," Gregory sighed. "Listen to me, you have encountered a fraudulent threat from a red Siamese cat before, right? They faked some bacterial infections and used them to scare you, which actually means that they don't have efficient creatures in their hands. Weapons, so even if they come up with a new type of bacteria and use it on Honda, the fact that his symptoms are so severe is just because his personal physique is special, it does not mean that the bacteria is as deadly as the one at the National Tokyo Microbiology Research Center. "Maybe with a little broad-spectrum antibiotics on that Honda we'll see his symptoms go away."

Qianyu was about to continue to say something, but found a hand on her shoulder. "Um?"

Beside Qianyu, Haibara Ai suddenly showed a distressed expression, and covered her mouth with the other hand.

"What's wrong?" Gregory on the other end of the phone asked, realizing that there was something strange on Qianyu's side.

"I don't know—" Qian Yu was interrupted halfway through speaking.

Haibara Ai suddenly stood up, walked quickly to the trash can, and vomited out.

"Yuck!"
