Conan: The Mechanic

"Excuse me, shouldn't I be called out to get medicine or something?" She said when Kazumi Takenaka followed Gregory out. "If it's taking medicine, it should be your assistant, right?"

"I called you here because her family didn't come, and there are some things I don't want her to hear." Gregory nodded and said straight to the point. "Her condition is not optimistic, at least in lupus erythematosus, which develops very rapidly and intensely - to tell you the truth, we have given her steroids to moderate the reaction of the autoimmune system just in case. , but her symptoms did not improve and even worsened more rapidly."

"Then... how much time does she have?" Kazumi Takenaka showed a sad expression.

"Maybe... just today," Gregory sighed. "In extremely rare cases, it could cause heart and kidney failure, and it could be ... today in what's called an 'extremely rare condition', and little of our treatment could stop her from getting worse."

"Didn't you call your uncle over?" Takenaka Kazumi felt a little strange. "I mean Matsumoto Kiyotaka, he is Sayuri's father!"

"He already knew, but he wanted us to tell him later—it sounds like he's not too afraid to face it." Gregory shook his head. "He wants me to tell you about it and have you tell him afterwards."

"..." Kazumi Takenaka hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I see."

"Well," Gregory suddenly took out a pack of wipes that was about to be used up from his pocket, and then began to wipe it off himself. "I seemed to get my hands dirty when I was eating chocolate just now... Ah, there seems to be another one, do you want to use it? You seem to have fed Miss Matsumoto a pastry just now, by the way, help me use the last one in this pack of wipes. Drop it, so I can just throw this package away?"

"Huh? Oh, okay." Although Kazumi Takenaka was a little surprised, she still nodded. "Okay, thank you." Saying this, he took out the last wipe from Gregory's wipes bag and wiped his hands seriously.

"By the way, do you have time to listen to me tell a story?" At this moment, Gregory, who was watching Kazumi Takenaka rubbing his hands, suddenly spoke up. "Stories I've heard before."

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Takenaka Kazumi was at a loss.

"Canberry, or cranberry-colored glass, have you heard of it?" Gregory said. "That's an extraordinary skill that may have been around in pre-Roman times - they put something interesting in the glass, they could make a very beautiful red glass."

"And in the 17th century, chemists made further breakthroughs in color - a new type of glaze was developed and even exported to the Qing Dynasty in the 18th century as an entirely new enamel paint."

"You told me these things for..." Takenaka Kazumi's face was quite confused.

"Look at your hands," Gregory reminded. "You take a look first, and I will continue to tell you."

"?" Kazumi Takenaka looked at her hands, but found that for some reason, her hands and wet wipes were dyed purple. "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Purple of Cassius, Cassius violet, or the so-called [cassia violet], the color produced by the colloidal gold produced by the reaction of stannous chloride and gold ions in an acidic environment." Gregory picked up the bamboo The wet wipes in Yimei's hand spoke slowly. "But this is very strange. I just added some stannous chloride and weak acid to the wet wipes. Where did the gold ions come from out of thin air?"

Kazumi Takenaka shrunk her hand into her pocket and said nothing, which made Gregory more confident in his own judgment.

"Goldsodium thiomalate, am I right?" Gregory said as he took out a medicine box from his pocket. "My assistant mentioned that you said earlier that you had an allergy test on celecoxib and diclofenac, and the disease for those two drugs was rheumatoid arthritis, and after we searched for your file, we confirmed you The drug contains this thing."

"But, why do I want to kill her?" Kazumi Takenaka raised her head and asked. "I even put up with her dating my boyfriend. What reason can I have to hate her?"

"I came to you because the toxicology test confirmed that the gold ions are seriously exceeding the standard, so I know you have already done so." Gregory shrugged. "As for why you did that...I'd love to know too, though I don't think you might say it."

After a long silence, Kazumi Takenaka sighed. "I... I used to think I could really be rational about all this, really, I used to think I could be rational about the rights that other people have legally."

"Takasugi Toshihiko is my... the second serious boyfriend. The first boyfriend I met when I was in middle school. We dated for about 5 years, but in the third year of high school, he moved with his parents because of him. I was studying in Osaka, and I felt that other male classmates were too close with me, so that summer, we had a big fight and ended the relationship."

"It was a long time ago that I met Toshihiko. At that time, although I had broken up for nearly three years, I had just come out of the shadow of my last relationship, and I had just prepared for a new relationship, even all the way to For a lifetime, but..."

Speaking of this, Kazumi Takenaka lowered her head again, and even brought a smile to her tone. "Can you imagine? He was the one who started the long pursuit at the beginning, and then he was the one who promised me my life with sweet words. Finally, I paid my true feelings, and he really had to be him, but he told me that he was In love with someone else?"

"Is that the bride?" Gregory frowned slightly - the news he had before was that Toshihiko Takasugi and Sayuri Matsumoto started dating a few months after breaking up.

"Yes," Takenaka Kazumi nodded. "He told me at the time that he fell in love with my friend - can you imagine my mood at that time? He also put forward a plan for me: stay with me for another half a year, go through college with me for four years, and then he Go after Sayuri... What can I say? Of course, get him out of my face right away. Then... The rest you probably know, he waited for a few months as a window, for his own cheating The basis for making it, and that guy Sayuri really accepted it..."

"I understand that he has nothing to do with me, and they are indeed suitable for each other, waiting for each other for 20 years... But why should he hurt me as a price? Why is he still blatantly chasing my girlfriend? Why is my girlfriend? And blatantly accepting my ex-boyfriend? They're cool, how about me?"

At this moment, the electrocardiogram alarm suddenly sounded from the special ward.

"Well, I think this should be good news for you? Although it might be a bit of a blow to my job." Gregory didn't even make a move to confirm what happened, he just stood there and said. "But seriously, is it worth it, just for this kind of thing, send yourself in on the charge of intentional homicide - don't look at me, I know your poisoning behavior has been going on for a long time, this drug is only It is easy to cause toxicity after the accumulation reaches a certain amount.”

"I originally thought Toshihiko would kill her, so these poisons were just for fun, but now it seems... I have added a layer of insurance to him?" Takenaka Kazumi turned her head and glanced at the special ward. No idea of ​​going back. "Forget it, anyway, if he had given up, I would have done it myself, which is no different from what it is now."

ten minutes later. "She's dead," Chiba said when she returned to Gregory's office alone.

"I know, you may not be familiar with it, but this is a normal thing for a doctor, after all, we are only mortals." Gregory threw the tennis ball he was playing in the direction of Qianyu.

"In your report, the cause of death was a heart attack, right?" Qianyu caught the tennis ball~www.readwn.com~ after taking a look, and threw the ball with a force much lighter than Gregory's. went back. "Although gold poisoning did occur, that symptom is not a common symptom of gold poisoning."

"Yeah, plus the elders in their family seem to have a history of heart disease, so I didn't classify this as the cause of death in the end - I can also reduce the sentence for that... I don't know how to judge the young lady."

"His..." Chiyu adjusted the auxiliary unit to the full-band full-power jamming mode, and then said. "Why is his method of death so familiar? Looking at his appearance, I always think, did you do something?"

"Well," Gregory nodded. "I gave her aptx-4869 and she died."

"When did you use a patient to do this..." Qian Yu glanced behind her and asked after confirming that there were no other eavesdroppers. "If that guy had undergone chelation therapy properly, he should have been able to recover and be discharged from the hospital, right? Are you..."

"Someone needs her to die, can you understand now?" Gregory said after taking a sip of the coffee in the cup in his hand. "If she doesn't die, her work in the future will be at great risk."

"Work risk?" Qian Yu was at first stunned, and then turned to consternation. "what do you mean……"

"Otherwise?" Gregory asked rhetorically. "Well now, no one can break them down again, and we'll be a lot safer - if it wasn't for him, you might be living a life of fear now!"

Seriously, Kazumi Takenaka in this chapter is my own creation, because I asked everyone in the pigeon nest, and then reworked the character based on everyone's answers - after all, it can be better to create a lasagna. sense
