Conan: The Mechanic

After the problem of meth was removed from the Youth Detective Corps' schedule, one such issue reappeared on the work goals of most of the Junior Detective Corps.

Well, it's just most of them, not everyone, because the issue itself is a re-investigation of someone from the Boy Detective Corps.

Why did Ayumi return to the cabin so late and conceal her whereabouts? Why did she appear in the kitchen before?

……

"Is Ayumi not back yet?" Chiba, who was with Motota and Mitsuhiko, asked Haibara Ai over the phone.

"Obviously not," Hai Yuanai said helplessly. "So there's no other way, you go out and find her."

"Standing and talking without back pain←←," Qianyu said speechlessly. "Why didn't you come out and find it yourself?"

"I came out to find it myself?" After Haibara Ai was silent for a while, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he replied with a subtle expression. "Ah, in fact, I don't mind going out for a walk and flexing my muscles or something, but is this really good? If I go out to look for it, it is very likely that after searching around and finding nothing, I come back and find Ayumi long ago. Back in the cabin and falling asleep. If you're not afraid to take the risk of wasting your time, I can go out with you to find it."

"Forget it, when I didn't say it!" Qian Yu was ashamed. "Then... we're going out to find her first. You stay in the cabin. If she comes back, let us know."

"No problem, so don't worry about wasting your time =, ="

"What?" Qian Yu was stunned.

"Go and explore with confidence!" Haibara Ai said word by word. "That's it, then I'll continue reading books, you guys come on."

"..." Qian Yu's mouth twitched, and then she hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Mitsuhiko felt a little strange and asked.

"It's fine," Qianyu shook her head. "Well, that's it... we're going to find Ayumi..."

……

Dining room.

"Is it really still working here?" Chiba, who had already started walking alone, muttered in surprise as she looked at the restaurant where the lights were still on. "Hmm... Could it be that Ayumi is really here?"

With this question in mind, Qianyu walked into the door of the back kitchen of the restaurant.

"Huh?" As soon as Qianyu entered the kitchen, several people who were working in the kitchen looked at him together - the group of people working in the back kitchen seemed to be completely different from the group of people who worked during the day, so they didn't know each other. Chiba.

"Little brother," a staff member who was in an idle state walked up to Qianyu and asked softly. "What's the matter with you here? This is not a place to play games!"

"Uh..." Qianyu asked after glancing at the surrounding environment. "Is there a girl about my age coming here at night?"

"Girl?" The staff member exchanged a questioning look with the other colleagues, then shook his head. "No, if I remember correctly, you should be the first child here in the past few days."

"Is that so?" Qianyu made a noncommittal voice. "OK then……"

With a look of understanding and confusion, Chiba left the restaurant.

Before he came to the restaurant, he never thought that the restaurant might open at night, so even after he arrived here and found that the restaurant actually had a night shift, he never expected to find Ayumi here.

But although he knew that Ayumi should not be here, he still didn't know where Ayumi was. He knew where he should go to find Ayumi next, but he couldn't think of why Ayumi would go there.

……

gaming room.

In the darkness of the night, a figure stood quietly in front of the chessboard, silently looking at a small corner of the chessboard in front of him where the pieces were scattered.

At this moment, Mitsuhiko's voice came from the door of the game room. "what--"

The figure turned around and looked at Mitsuhiko at the door.

"Really, why is it you who are here?" Mitsuhiko turned on the light and looked at Yuan Tai in front of the chessboard angrily. "Really, didn't it say that I was going to find Ayumi? Where is it?"

"Ah..." Yuan Tai scratched his head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, that—I originally wanted to come here to find Ayumi, but when I saw the chessboard, I was a little too fascinated..."

"Really!" Mitsuhiko held his forehead. "You bastard—forget it, hurry up with me to find where Ayumi is!"

……

Chiba calmly watched the door in front of her open to both sides.

If Haibara Ai hadn't contacted him until now, it probably means that neither Genta nor Mitsuhiko had found Ayumi and brought her back. In this case, Ayumi is probably here - although it doesn't seem like a place she would go, it's not a place she would never go. If it was really here, Chiba would really like to have a chat with Ayumi-because Chiba was curious about why she came here, after all, coming here at this time doesn't seem like a person who shouldn't be very interested in it. What a child would do~www.readwn.com~ When the two doors closed obediently, Qianyu's eyes immediately locked on the front - the auxiliary unit completed the marking of the search target for Qianyu at the first time. .

As Chiba had predicted, Ayumi was here.

Under the moonlight, Ayumi sat under a small telescope, using the telescope under the guidance of Honda of the Tokyo Observatory next to her.

[It really is here. 】Raising his eyebrows, Qianyu looked in the direction of Ayumi, and then walked over slowly.

"Observed!" Ayumi suddenly said excitedly. "Brother, the star you asked to observe!"

"Oh!" Honda looked at Ayumi excitedly. "Look, is there another similar star not far to the upper left of this star?"

"Yes!" Ayumi nodded immediately. "If I say that, have I found the right star?"

"Yes!" Honda replied with a smile. "You got it right!"

"Huh—" Ayumi was obviously relieved, moved the head attached to the telescope away from the telescope, and rubbed her eyes. "Finally..."

"You stayed here late yesterday," Honda obviously noticed Ayumi's fatigue and touched her head. "Go back to rest first, and I can continue to teach you the rest tomorrow evening."

"No need," Ayumi shook her head, "I can still continue—"

Speaking of this, she yawned again, and her physical and mental fatigue was fully exposed.

"You," Honda smiled wryly. "Why hold on like this? Look behind you, your companions are coming."

"Huh?" Ayumi was taken aback, only to find Qianyu who was walking slowly. "Qianyu, you—why are you here?"
