Conan: The Mechanic

A little further away from the passage leading to the isolation room, Moto, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Conan looked in the direction of the passage with some uneasiness and whispered to each other.

"Has Qianyu not come out yet?" After waiting for so long, the worry on Mitsuhiko's face was even more intense. "Shouldn't be..."

All of them had been in that isolation room until the test results came in - every now and then a report or two would come out of the testing window and be given to the medical staff, who would take the owner of the form in the opposite direction. One of the two exits - One of the exits is the other end of the passage and represents safety.

The exit at the other end means that the owner of the list is likely to be infected and must be isolated and treated as soon as possible.

Just now, they all got their own test sheets very early, and got negative results, but Qianyu has not been able to get out of it until now. Everyone did the inspection together, and theoretically, the results should be obtained at a near time. And he hasn't come out from here now, I'm afraid...

"He's still waiting inside for the result, that's all." Before anyone else could answer, such a firm answer came from closer to the isolation room—Haihara Ai was standing next to the door of the isolation room He didn't look back with certainty. "Everyone's blood collection tubes are sent in together, and the inspection manpower is limited, maybe his tube is sent in for testing at the end."

At this moment, footsteps sounded from the side of the passage, and the members of the detective team who were closer heard it at the first time, and they all showed their expressions of relief. But then, the joyful look on Haibara Ai's face disappeared. Instead, she turned her head and glanced at the other people who were projecting their expectant eyes past her.

A few seconds later, the other children of the detective team also understood with their eyes why Haibara Ai showed such an expression - it was an adult man who came out.

Haibara Ai is a very keen girl. Of course, she knows what the footsteps of the boy who is most important to her are like: when walking, what volume will it make, what kind of touching sound will be made, and what will be the cadence. Therefore, she realized at the first time that this was not the person she was waiting for.

"Sir," Looking at the stranger walking out in front of him, Haibara Ai finally spoke up. "Did you... see a child inside?"

"Child?" The man was stunned, and after thinking about it, he shook his head. "Should be gone, I didn't see anyone else at the time, I think I was the last one to get the results. If your friend hasn't come out yet... I think he may have tested positive and was sent to quarantine area."

"..." Haibara Ai lowered her head again, bit her lip lightly, her eyes flickered, she didn't know what she was thinking.

At this time, Conan also realized that something was wrong, and walked to Haibara Ai. "Haihara, Qianyu he..."

"If we all pass, then Tachibana has no reason to test positive," Haibara Ai shook her head. "We all slept in the same room, and we all slept together. If he is infected, there is no reason for us to test negative."

Conan gave up his plan to comfort Haibara Ai—because he is also thinking about this question: If Chiba is infected, why are they who live and eat with Chiba are female?

"Could it be that he went somewhere we haven't been?" Conan asked.

"No, it may be because he is still in a period of infectivity," Haihara shook his head sadly. "With some extreme methods, inflamed recruits may be successfully detected within three hours of infection."

"Then... Where did Qianyu go?" Conan frowned, thinking.

Just as he was thinking, his expression suddenly changed.

"What did you think of?" Haibara Ai was about to ask him what he had found, but found that his field of vision had darkened, and there was a considerable temperature around his eyes. Then, something fell on her shoulder.

Despite the darkness in front of her eyes, Haibara Ai suddenly laughed—it was an expression of relief, because she knew what was going on.

"I'm back," Qianyu said softly, leaning close to Haibara Ai, rubbing her cheek lightly behind her left ear. "I'm sorry, I came out a little late and made you worry."

After feeling the temperature from Chiba leaning against her body, Haibara Ai turned her head without any hesitation, and while Chiba's hands ran through her hair, she clasped his left shoulder with his right hand, and took him with him. His face turned to himself slightly. Immediately afterwards, she pointed forward slightly, and lightly pecked Qianyu's pursed lips. But she also knew that this was not the right place to do this, but after a single stroke, she gently pulled Chiyu's hands away and released him from his embrace.

"Although there should be no problem, but in this case, we still need to pay attention to the potential transmission problems..." Looking at the two in front of him, Conan said embarrassingly.

"Hmm—" Qianyu still kept her mouth tightly closed, took a few steps back while making such a sound, and then opened her mouth. The sound seemed to sound a bit like panting caused by holding her breath for a long time. "I...I know, so I didn't even dare to let out my anger just now, and—"

"It's not a formal kiss, it's just touching each other with the normal skin near the lips," Haibara Ai also took Chiyu's explanation while breathing slightly, and took out a piece of paper from Chiyu's backpack. After tearing the small package of wet tissues, one side gently wiped Chiba's lips, and the other side wiped the skin of her mouth.

"The guy who came out just now said that there was no one inside, what's the matter with you?" Putting away the tissue, Ai Huihara threw the wet tissue and the outer packaging into the trash can next to her, and asked.

"Maybe it's because the seat I'm sitting on is in the direction of the seats that are facing away from other people's seats?" Chiba shrugged. "I can't help it. I can't show my head when I sit in the seat. There's nothing they can do if they can't see me."

"In this case, everyone will be safe!" Ayumi also came over, looking quite happy. "You just terrified me!"

But Chiyu just shook her head after hearing this.

"Fortunately it's not us, that's all I can say," his expression was rather serious. "A few people actually got in - others who didn't get out did."

Before they came in, they had gone through a few early checks - the three patients who were placed in the back of the car didn't come with them, and two or three others who looked sick didn't pass their temperature section. During the blood test phase, several others were also taken into custody.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a man's loud voice.

"Hey!" Gregory, wearing a rather exaggerated gas mask, stood in front of them with a cane and said while scanning everyone. "You know what, you're really lucky, because although your good day is ruined, those who don't get out of here, they may not even have a good day, lose less and win, yes wrong?"

Everyone was silent, because no one knew why this person who appeared here inexplicably made such a statement.

"Okay, then let me explain in another way," Gregory nodded thoughtfully and continued to preach at a fairly loud volume. "Anyone planning to go in with me to have a look and gain some interesting insights? Maybe, you will have a chance to watch me dissect the corpse, think of the scalpel slicing through the belly of the deceased, and pulling out all the internal organs with your hands— Imagine when you're waving a small intestine... well, the small intestine might be a little too long, but if we cut the small intestine into two pieces, we might be able to give everyone here two human jump ropes that you've never seen before— "

When Gregory said this, he had already retrieved the expressions on everyone's faces - some were shocked, some were disgusted, some were quite distorted because of disgust.

There is also a slightly confused face.

"Why are you here?" Gregory asked, looking at Qianyu and Ai Haibara beside him.

"We don't know either," Qianyu spread her hands. "I was brought here all of a sudden."

"Well, although I don't think you should be that reason, but... it's better to confirm it again." Gregory nodded and motioned Chiyu to follow him. "If you have a mask, wear a mask and come with me."

Having said that, he walked in through the passage of the isolation room.

"Where are you taking him?" Haibara Ai asked quickly.

"Don't worry, it'll be alright," Gregory just replied, and then said to Chiba who had already followed him quickly. "Little guy, hurry up, the sooner the inspections are done, the better, and then we've got things to do."
