Conan: The Mechanic

February 23, Thursday afternoon.

"You mean, neither Yuu nor Xiao Qiong went to school?" Qianyu frowned on the way to Kasugano House.

"Yes," the goddess Muying nodded. "The squad leader said that the two of them didn't show up all day! By the way, I didn't ask you to call their house before..."

"No one answered the landline, and neither did the mobile phone." Qianyu shook her head. "I can't get in touch with them either."

All in all, that's what happened - the two brothers and sisters of the Kasugano family lost contact.

That's why Chiba and Ei are on their way to Kasugano House.

The thing that made Chiyu more concerned was that there might not be no one around the phone. The reason is simple: at the very beginning, both siblings’ phones were hung up, and the landline was unanswered. Later, their mobile phones showed that they were turned off, and the landline feedback was [Busy]

In other words, it's hard to say that they really lost contact, it's better to say that they are deliberately avoiding their contact.

If it was according to Qianyu's own wishes, he would not care about this matter. However, the complication of the problem is that after school, the monitor of Yuu's class called Ying, who was still on the last day of the fever holiday, from the public phone, hoping that she could go to Kasugano Yu's house in advance to see if something happened— - [Advance] means that other people will arrive later, and they will not be the only ones who go to check the situation.

Under such circumstances, Qianyu could only hastily sent Yu a text message explaining that she was going to find him, so she had to go with Ying.

What the **** are you doing? Why isn't anyone replying to the news...

Amid such confusion, the two approached Kasugano House.

[The milk at the door has not been picked up yet...] This was the first fact Chiba noticed—it meant that no one at Kasugano House seemed to be going out today.

On top of that, the curtains were drawn - which means the family didn't pull the curtains this morning.

Or they just left before dawn for some reason (unlikely given the condition of the landline)

Or for some reason, they didn't get up.

A hint of concern suddenly appeared in Qian Yu's heart, and in response to such concerns, he raised his sensitivity to distinguish poisonous gas to a higher level—although false alarms may occur, it effectively reduces the possibility of undetectable Possibility of the presence of hazardous gases.

"You stay away from the door in a moment," he told Ying. "I'll go take a look first... After all, I'm still a little worried."

"It's not necessary," Ying rarely rejected Qianyu's proposal. "me and you together."

"Don't make trouble," Qian Yu frowned slightly. "In case of danger..."

"I'll tell you if I feel uncomfortable," Ying grabbed Chiyu's hand and signaled that she wouldn't give in. "So if I'm uncomfortable first, I can feel the problem earlier than you. And if you're uncomfortable first, then if we leave immediately, it won't affect me at all."

Chiba thought for a moment, then nodded, and walked with Ei towards the door of Kasugano's house, only slightly ahead of the other.

However, even if Chiba walked to the door, the auxiliary unit did not detect any dangerous components from the air she inhaled. At the same time, the speed of nerve reactions in all parts of the body is completely normal, which means that there are no signs of inhaling the colorless, odorless, and harmful gas.

"Dong Dong——" Qianyu knocked on the door.

In the process of knocking on the door, Qianyu seemed to sense something, amplifying the hearing in the ear that was far away from Ying, and moved closer to the direction of the door.

In just a few seconds, he turned off the hearing magnification again, and his expression relaxed.

Although Ying didn't hear anything, she also guessed the situation inside from Chiyu's expression.

There is no doubt that there is someone inside, and that person is coming to open the door.

Just like that, Kasugano Yu opened the door and looked at the two people outside the door in surprise.

Different from Yuu's dressing habits in the past, today he is wearing a high-necked long-sleeved shirt, and he has also buttoned every button that can be used to cover his skin.

"You... why are you here?"

"I have to ask you this question," Qianyu spread her hands. "Today is Weekday, what the **** did you not go to school - and Xiao Qiong didn't go either... You all stayed in bed together? Besides, I tried to call your mobile phone and landline before, but there was no response."

Having said that, Qianyu shut down processes such as poison reactions, and let the auxiliary unit deploy a small-scale signal base station - in fact, the base station function of the auxiliary unit is by no means turned on for a long time, but only when needed. Keep it within a relatively small range, after all, his base station can **** the signals of other base stations through instructions, without needing to overwhelm those huge metal creations in signal strength.

The signals from both phones have reappeared within the control range of the base station, which is only 20-30 meters away.

"Ah..." Yu looked a little embarrassed. "That... oh yes, Qiong was a little uncomfortable, so... so I stayed to take care of her - the reason I hung up was because Qiong had a bad fever at the time and was a little angry, saying that I didn't want to hear the phone, so I hung up the phone. Just unplugged the phone and forgot to plug it back in again. The phone...the phone seems like we all forgot to charge it, so it ran out of power, but now we've put a new battery on the phone."

"Is that so..." Chiba agreed noncommittally—at least from the perspective of a friend who had been with him for a long time, he really had a hard time believing the credibility of such a shoddy lie.

But... since he is not even shy about making such crudely fabricated lies, he probably has his own reasons, right?

At least as a friend, Chiba doesn't intend to delve into the reason.

"If that's the case~www.wuxiahere.com~ I can rest assured!" The goddess Muying seemed to make this decision faster than Qianyu. "By the way, we are not the only group of guests. I think in about fifteen minutes, some faster people will arrive?"

At this moment, Chiyu caught the tension on Yuu's face.

He is resisting others coming to visit... So, what is the reason? In addition, what are the reasons for disconnecting from the outside world?

While Chiba was still thinking about this question, not far behind Yu, the door to his room was pulled open.

"Shh—"

Chiyu really seriously checked her brain memory and the auxiliary unit's memory files at the same time, only to be sure that it was Yu's room door that was opened in front of her.

However, he was right in front of him, and the one who opened the door was...

The conversation was interrupted by the sound of the door opening, which was not very loud, as if it had been hit by a tape recorder with the pause button pressed. And then, this silence was torn apart by a coquettish voice.

"Yu, where are you..."

Qiong's voice was very vague, as if he hadn't woken up yet, but... Qiong in such a state appeared in Yu's room?

When Chiba realized that things seemed strange, he saw fear on Yuu's face.

【No way? 】Qianyu suddenly thought of a very bizarre possibility - he had imagined something similar, but he couldn't do it anyway.

But this is the truth.

In Qian Yu's incredible gaze, in Ying's thoughtful gaze, in Yu Fang's chaotic gaze, the owner of the voice appeared in front of them.

It was a dome that was not wearing any clothes and only covered a part of his private parts with sheets.
