Conan: The Mechanic

An hour later.

"How's it going?" Chiba was sitting in her cabin, using her mobile phone to communicate with Ai Haibara—his auxiliary unit was keeping a call with Gregory at any time.

"Fortunately, it looks useful," Hai Yuanai lay on the bed with a faint smile. "It seems that the extreme doses of penicillin have some effect on the bacteria, or it's just bacterial meningitis."

"Yes, that's fine," Qian Yu showed a smile. "That's easy to do..."

"Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to continue watching Shoemaker Levi," Haihara smiled bitterly. "Forget it, it's a good thing to survive..."

"Don't talk about that," Although Haibara Ai couldn't see it, Chiyu shook her head, her unfocused eyes full of doting on the image of Haibara Ai in her mind. "Just survive, that's the most important thing."

"Yes," Haibara Ai also nodded, even though no one could see it. "I haven't felt so good in life in a long time."

"Life is so beautiful," Chiba replied. "We still have a lot of time to embrace life and embrace all the good things we never had the chance to embrace before."

"I'm actually a little thankful for this body of mine now," Haibara Ai's mouth twitched slightly. "We actually had the opportunity to relive the beauty of those years that we hadn't experienced before, and to be honest, I never expected that before."

"Me too."

At this moment, Haiyuan Ai heard that his door was opened - his door had been locked from the outside, and the only one who could open this door was probably...

The doctor walked in with a solemn expression.

"How are your symptoms?" he asked.

"It's okay, what's wrong?" Ai Haibara asked strangely.

"..." The doctor showed some confusion. "Have you started to get better here..."

"There's something wrong with the Honda over there?" Haibara Ai immediately realized what might have happened. "Did something happen over there?"

"Honda is fine, but..." The doctor pondered for a while, but decided to say it. "There is another patient, a lady named Suzuki Sonoko."

"Suzuki Sonoko?" Haibara frowned. "Did she also have contact with the patient?"

"She said no, but it doesn't make sense, so it may be that she unknowingly came into contact with Honda or a place that Honda had intimate contact with and where bacteria remained."

"..." Haiyuan Ai bit her lip and finally nodded. "Understood."

In her eyes, a strange look flashed. On the other side of the phone, Qian Yu's expression was a little weird.

……

About a minute later.

"Hello?" Conan answered the phone and asked strangely. "Qianyu?"

"Sister Sonoko is infected?" Qianyu went straight to the point.

"Well, how are you doing?" After Conan confirmed, he also asked about Chiba's situation.

"I'm fine, there's something wrong with Haiyuan and I'm being quarantined," Qianyu replied. "By the way, what are the symptoms on Sister Sonoko's side?"

"Rash, vomiting." Conan replied after thinking about it.

"Rash?" Qianyu raised her eyebrows. "Are you sure it's a rash and nothing else? Could it be some kind of red spot that looks like it's actually fairly well-defined? That's a bruise—"

"Rash, standard rash." Conan replied very clearly. "The symptoms of a rash in patches, not like bruising spots."

"Hmm..." Qianyu tilted her head. "Okay... Where is Sonoko-san now? Can I see anyone? I want to check her rash."

"It's a very standard rash," Conan shook his head. "I can still tell the difference between a rash and a bruise--wait a minute, what's on the other side of Huiyuan is a bruise?"

"Yes, so is the patient Honda," Chiyu nodded. "So... what's going on with Sister Sonoko? Isn't this symptom different from Patient 0?"

"It's possible..." Conan's voice was hesitant. "But this...I always feel...is there something wrong?"

"Probably weird," Chiyu sighed. "But that's what it is now, and luckily we're going to land on Guam soon."

"There are still about three hours," Conan's tone was still so nervous. "What I'm more confused about now is how Sister Sonoko got infected. She said that she stayed in the room and never went out."

"Never went out?" Qian Yu frowned. "Have you checked her room?"

"The doctor himself went to look for it, it should be no." Conan denied this possibility. "And considering that the symptoms are different from those of Honda, I tend to think that this may be another disease that is very similar to the symptoms of Honda and Haibara, but completely different."

"Statistically speaking, this is really far-fetched~www.readwn.com~ Don't you think?"

"I think, but after putting aside those completely impossible explanations, this is already the most reasonable explanation."

"I'll go check on Sonoko-san's condition first," Qianyu sighed. "Really, the current situation... If in the future we can really figure out what happened, it will definitely be in the newspapers because of its complicated situation."

"Probably, but before going to the newspaper, the most important thing is to figure out what happened."

……

The doctor wearing a gas mask pulled Chiba, who was wearing a mask, into the isolation room of Suzuki Sonoko - Suzuki Sonoko was lying on the bed, only when she heard the sound of Chiba and the others opening the door, she turned her head slightly.

"How do you feel?" The doctor said straight ahead.

"Fortunately..." Suzuki Sonoko said weakly. "But... it's still hard, and it's worse than before."

"Don't worry too much," the doctor reassured. "We'll be in Guam in two or three hours, and then you'll get the best medical treatment possible."

"How about that Honda?" Sonoko asked again.

"His condition..." The doctor hesitated, but was urged by Suzuki Sonoko. "I should have the right to know, right?"

"His vital signs are fairly stable now. Although he is in a coma, it should not be life-threatening." The doctor nodded and replied. "Don't worry, it's impossible for you to reach his current stage."

"Where's Xiao Ai?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at Chiba and asked.

"The symptoms have stabilized, and there is nothing too serious at the moment." Chiba shrugged. "To be honest, she should be in a better condition than you, Sister Sonoko."
