Conan: The Mechanic

"Come back very late?" Qian Yu raised her eyebrows. "How late?"

"It's later than you and me." The expression on Haibara Ai's face clearly showed how late it was for a child. "And in terms of her routine the past few days, it was weird."

At this moment, a voice that did not belong to the two of them sounded.

"That..." Mitsuhiko's expression was quite subtle - he wasn't actually found by Haibara Ai at first, it just happened to happen. "You two...where did you go yesterday? Did you come back late too?"

"It's just an analogy," Hai Yuan said sadly. "You just need to understand that Ayumi came back really late yesterday."

"Uh..." Mitsuhiko nodded in astonishment. "Okay... okay."

"So, who do you suspect she went out to meet?" Qianyu tilted her head. "Or say what to do?"

"It's all possible," Haibara nodded. "When I asked her, her answer was quite perfunctory, so I knew there must be something wrong with that answer, and the reason she used that perfunctory was just to cover up the real purpose."

"A reasonable inference," Qianyu nodded. "Then, we're going to find her next?"

"Also," Haibara nodded sadly. "If you go now, it's okay, but I prefer to look for it at night, so there is a greater chance of finding her when she is doing something."

"Are you sure she will come back so late today?" Qianyu raised a very troublesome possibility. "Don't forget that it's about time to observe Sumei Kelevy. If she is busy so late, it may affect the next astronomical observation."

"So what do you mean?" Haibara Ai probably guessed what he was thinking.

"Yes," Qianyu nodded. "Go and see now, anyway if she's going to do anything that has nothing to do with star-gazing, she can obviously do it now, so if she's going to do it, she's probably doing it right now - try to find her for sure Not a bad thing."

"Well, can I find it with you too?" Mitsuhiko hesitated. "I also want to know what Ayumi is doing.

"Huh?" Haibara Ai glanced at Mitsuhiko with a slightly subtle expression, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. "Well, you should do your best, too, right?"

"Yes!"

……

Twenty minutes later.

"How was the test result on your side?" Chiba asked Haibara sadly - but he basically already knew the answer. "Didn't find it?"

"Obviously," Haibara sighed. "After all, if Ayumi is really in the TV area I searched for, there's no need for her not to tell me where she went last night!"

"For the same reason, I didn't find it either," Chiba shrugged. "She's not at the library either."

"Then, there probably won't be any results on Tsuburaya's side, right?" Haibara Ai nodded. "After all, if Ayumi is in the entertainment room, there is no reason not to tell us - and I am afraid it is difficult to find any fun in the entertainment room if you are alone..." When she said this, she suddenly showed some hesitation. expression.

"What's wrong?" Qian Yu asked, sensing her strangeness.

"It's nothing," Haibara Ai shook her head with an uneasy expression. "Wait for Tsuburaya-san's result, maybe she's really there?"

Obviously, when Mitsuhiko came back, his expression and subsequent words told Chiba and Haibara Ai that Ayumi was not in the entertainment room either.

"Then where exactly is she?" Qianyu thought with some difficulty. "Although she shouldn't hide anything from you if she's in these places, but if she's not here, where else could she be???"

"Perhaps there is something else she can be interested in?" Haibara Ai also frowned. "Exclude the power area first...that place is basically engine equipment and the like. Even if she is really interested, I doubt whether she can really learn anything in that kind of place."

"It's impossible in the astronomical area," Qianyu also shook her head. "At this point in time, even if she is really looking at the stars at night, she is unlikely to stay in the astronomical area now. (Author: The day is really not a good time

"But it's still possible, so let Tsuburaya-san go take a look later?" Haibara thought for a while and looked at Mitsuhiko.

"Wrap it on me!" Mitsuhiko nodded.

Haibara Ai didn't say anything, just looked at Qianyu's obviously reserved expression.

After Mitsuhiko left, Chiba spoke up.

"I suddenly had two thoughts," Chiba looked into Haibara Ai's eyes. "Follow me to find out, how about it?"

"As you wish," Huiyuan Ai nodded. "Actually, I probably also have ideas, but I don't know if the results of our thinking are the same."

"Then let's go take a look first," Qianyu nodded. "The probability of both may be similar, just pick one and go first."

……

kitchen.

The reason for guessing that Ayumi is in the kitchen is actually very simple.

For a very simple girl ~www.readwn.com~ there are only a few places to go - if it is not the areas that are more attractive to children, then it is attractive to the girl's identity The place must be right.

Sure enough, here, they saw Ayumi.

"That's right, that's it~" There seemed to be a young woman in the kitchen who was like a foreman who was accompanying Ayumi, who was wearing a chef's uniform that still didn't fit even after being folded a few times, and encouraged her with a smile. At this time, Ayumi hardly reacted to this, just stepped on the stool intently, looking at the mechanical turntable in front of her—and the cake on the mechanical turntable that was gradually taking shape under her craftsmanship.

"Sure enough," Qian Yu said lightly. "Come here to learn cooking?"

"But that's probably not what she studied at night," Haiyuan Ai nodded, but shook her head again. "After all, no one can guide her at night."

"Maybe," Chiba shrugged noncommittally. "Although there may not be so many staff on duty here at night, it is also not that much work pressure, so it is still possible that there are still free staff who have time to spend with her."

Having said that, the two entered the kitchen after obtaining permission from a staff member and walked towards Ayumi.

At this moment, Ayumi seemed to have finished shaping the cake. She had stopped the turntable, picked up a pack of rock candy from the side, and began to unpack it.

"Huh?" Just when Ayumi was going to put a block of rock candy on top of the cake as a decoration, the foreman who was watching her made a somewhat surprised voice. "Little girl, wait a minute."

At this moment, Haibara Ai and Chiyu, who had already walked beside Ayumi and the foreman, frowned.

This bag of rock candy... there seems to be a problem? ? ?
