Conan: The Mechanic

When Chiba and Haibara Ai came to the movie theater, they found that almost all the other members of the detective team had come here - except for Ayumi.

"Has Ayumi not come yet?" Qianyu raised her eyebrows and glanced at the seat next to Conan - this was Ayumi's seat before.

"No," Mitsuhiko shook his head. "It seems like she didn't come back at lunch today."

When she heard this, Haibara Ai glanced at Qianyu's eyes intentionally or unintentionally, but found nothing unusual.

"..." The expression on Qian Yu's face was indeed quite astonished, because he thought that Ayumi would never give up such an opportunity to sit next to Conan.

"How long have you been here?" Qianyu asked.

"It's ten past six," Yuan Tai replied. "We came over after dinner!"

It's six forty-five now... Considering that the way of thinking of children should be similar, which means that if there were no other surprises, Ayumi would have come a long time ago. So, why hasn't Ayumi appeared yet? At the same time, why did Ayumi not even eat lunch?

[Wait a minute...] The corner of Qianyu's mouth suddenly twitched, and then, it seemed to echo his thoughts...

"Gu--" The subtle voice coming from beside him made Haiyuan Ai raise his eyebrows, and then looked at Qianyu, who was a little embarrassed.

"You didn't have dinner?"

"Hmm..." Qianyu nodded helplessly. "There's no way. After all, they're all staying there. I can't sneak out to eat alone."

"Are we going to have dinner together later?" Haibara Ai didn't seem to be surprised by this answer. "I didn't find you before, so I haven't gone to dinner yet."

"Have you eaten lunch?" Chiba asked almost subconsciously.

"Lunch?" Haibara Ai's eyes sharpened immediately. "You didn't eat lunch?"

"Ah?" Qian Yu quickly waved his hand. "No, that... didn't you say you didn't have lunch because you didn't find me? Then I didn't have lunch with you at noon, so I'm worried you didn't have lunch..."

"Why did you go at noon?" Hai Yuanai turned her head slightly, pouted, and said coquettishly. "Really, why did you disappear without saying anything to me! Do you know how worried I am?"

"Uh..." Qianyu showed an ashamed expression, but just when he was about to coax Haibara Ai, he suddenly looked at the unexpected person - that was when Haibara Ai said that sentence Suddenly turned around and looked at their Maorilan.

Haibara Ai also immediately realized what seemed to be happening, and then also saw the slight gaffe that Mao Lilan is now showing.

"Well—forget it, I'll forgive you this time, and I won't be able to forgive you if I dare to do this next time!" Haiyuan Ai suddenly closed her eyes, her expression returned to her usual indifference, and said leisurely.

Immediately afterwards, the two chose to remain silent - there is no doubt that the interaction between the two of them just now touched the most vulnerable part of Maurilan's heart. What could be more torturous for a girl who is just beginning to love her than to leave her sweetheart without saying goodbye? After being accidentally touched the scar by the interaction between Haibara Ai and Qianyu, Mao Lilan's performance is actually very strong.

In this silence, the time gradually approached the collision time of the C fragments, and Ayumi still did not appear here.

"Has Ayumi not come yet?" Mitsuhiko looked at the empty seat strangely. "It's about to collide, won't she come to see?"

"Ask her first, maybe she forgot about it?" Saying this, Ayumi opened the Sherlock Holmes armband on her body and began to page. After a moment, the page was connected.

"Hello?" Ayumi's voice came from inside the armband. The voice was quite awake, obviously not falling asleep or something.

"Ayumi, we're going to collide soon, why don't you come and see?" Conan asked.

"Ah..." Ayumi made such a voice, but there was obviously no surprise or confusion in her tone. "Well, I won't go first, you can see it first, um, that's it!"

Not only Mitsuhiko and Genta, but also Conan and Haibara Ai were quite surprised.

"Aren't you going to watch a scene in such a situation?" Yuan Tai said helplessly, looking at the picture that had already been projected on the screen. "Or does Ayumi think there's nothing impressive about this scene?"

"Probably not," Mitsuhiko shook his head. "She was really surprised in the morning, so she must have been impressed by the whole process - so I really don't understand why she wouldn't come."

"I'll find out when I go back and ask her," Conan sighed and shook his head. "But now... Since she doesn't want to come, she doesn't force it. Just look at the screen first, the collision is about to start."

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro, who was sitting not far away, looked back at the expressions of the little guys-his eyes finally focused on Chiyu's face~www.readwn.com~ Chiyu just looked at the expression calmly. Looking at the picture on the screen, it seems that Ayumi's refusal to watch the collision picture before did not cause him any trouble or confusion.

At the same time, Haibara Ai also noticed Kogoro Mori's gaze, and finally found Chiba's calmness. She knew very well that Qianyu was a very curious person. If something beyond his expectations really happened, he would definitely try to figure out the whole thing as much as possible, and his expression was definitely Impossible to be so indifferent.

Then, what is it that makes Qianyu so indifferent——could it be that he knows why the whole thing is? If you think about it like this, Ayumi disappeared at lunch, and Chiba also disappeared at lunch. If you say that, have they been together all afternoon?

Haibara Ai's brows trembled, and the fabric of the clothes where she was pressing her fingers was also slightly taut. She admits that she is well aware that this is basically impossible, and if it does, it's probably because of some non-male or female affair, but she's just nervous.

Under the common gaze of people with different thoughts in the movie theater, Fragment C gradually disappeared behind Jupiter.

……

At the same time, in the observation hall of the airship.

"Get ready, it's time to observe!" A young Tokyo Observatory staff member sat in front of a small astronomical telescope, observing the direction of Jupiter and pointing. "Be careful to fix the structure of the astronomical telescope, and only use the handle to fine-tune the astronomical telescope!"

"Understood!" Beside him, Ayumi, who was concentratingly using an astronomical telescope of the same model, put her hand on the handle on the stand and replied immediately.
