Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 1800 1799 [The Detective’s Heir]

  The short-haired senior sister smiled: "It's the seat of Guihezi, you can just sit, she is snorkeling in the sea, and she probably won't come over for a while."

   As she spoke, she looked towards the seaside, and soon found a small figure. Matsuzaki Haru pointed over there: "Look, it's right there, waving to us."

   "Oh!" Mori Kogoro followed her pointer and looked there, vaguely seeing a young girl with only her head sticking out of the water. He then waved his hand and said to that side, "Hello—!"

  Concubine Eri glanced at him in disgust, but also couldn't help but glance over there, then froze.

   "How do I feel..." Fei Yingli pushed her glasses, frowned and carefully identified Haili's figure, "She doesn't seem to be waving her hand to greet us, but to ask for help?"

  The next moment, as if responding to her words, Takakazu Toda, who was exposed to the surface of the sea, sank.

   "?!"

  Several college students were startled and stood up.

  Jiang Xia just stood up when he saw Takakazu Toda's fiancé rushing past him and heading straight into the sea.

  He turned his head silently and looked at the other two college students who were stunned: "I remember you said just now that the fiancé doesn't seem to be able to swim?"

   "!" The little black-faced and short-haired girl woke up like a dream, and rushed over while shouting "Come back, don't make trouble!"

   Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko got up worried: "I'll go and have a look too."

  Suddenly encountered such a thing, of course a righteous detective cannot turn a blind eye.

  Jiang Xia quickly ran to the beach with them.

  The three of them waded into the sea for a while, but before they reached Takawako Toda, another person suddenly emerged from the sea. The man scooped up Takakazu Toda and lifted her head out of the water, avoiding the danger of drowning.

  Suzuki Sonoko looked at the "passer-by" who rescued people quickly, and suddenly found that this was actually a guy he knew: "Romeo?!"

  Hayato Kariya came here with the two female high school students from Sangmu High School who had a crush on him.

   It's just that the three of them had a quarrel not long ago. Although they wanted to go to the island together for various reasons, they couldn't talk at all. So halfway through, the Lone Ranger slipped away at some point.

   Unexpectedly, he was also playing in the nearby sea, and even accidentally saved someone.

   "Let her go, let me do it!" The little black face, who was a step behind, ran up angrily, picked up Takakazu Toda, and led her to the shore.

  Takakazu Toda coughed twice in his arms, and opened his eyes with difficulty.

  Little black face's eyes lit up, and he was about to say a few words of condolences, when Takakazu Toda asked, "Where's Masahiko?"

   This is her fiancé's name.

   "..."

  Although the situation was very urgent, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help laughing wildly as he patted the water surface seeing the sad expression on the little black face. Afraid of being discovered, she bent down and hid behind Jiang Xia.

   But she still laughed out loud. As soon as Jiang Xia looked up, he saw the little black face staring at him very angrily.

Jiang Xia had no choice but to pretend he didn't see it, and answered Takakazu Toda's question for him: "Just now Mr. Matsuzaki rushed into the sea to save you, but we stopped him because he couldn't swim, and now he is still trying to walk this way. "

  Takakazu Toda closed his eyes weakly: "Really, that's great..."

   It seems that the drowning man was rescued, and the performance of the fiancé also reached the passing line, which seems to be a happy scene.

  But for some reason, Mao Lilan always felt uneasy.

  Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she felt that there seemed to be something in the sea. She took a deep breath, dived into the water and opened her eyes, only to see a sea snake flicking its tail and swimming away in a panic.

   "?!"

  Maolilan was taken aback. Snakes in the sea are often more poisonous than snakes on land. She straightened up, her face pale: "Snakes, there are snakes in the sea!"

  …

   Several college students frantically put Takakazu Toda on the beach.

  Matsuzaki Masahiko couldn't believe it: "But, sea snakes rarely bite people, Takawako has always been lucky..."

   "Maybe she scared the snake when she was drowning and struggling, or..." Jiang Xia had already finished making the emergency call. He looked at Takakazu Toda who was still conscious, "You were bitten."

  Takakazu Toda raised his left hand with great effort, Jiang Xia looked down and saw two small shallow holes on the back of her hand. There was already blood, which was very conspicuous on the fair skin.

  Conan rushed to the restaurant, grabbed the black tea on the table, and poured it on the back of Toda Takawako's hand.

  Suzuki Sonoko looked at this scene in amazement: "Little devil, what are you doing? Don't make trouble."

  Jiang Xia looked at the cup in Conan's hand: "Black tea contains a certain amount of tannin. Tannin can inhibit the activity of snake venom protein. Maybe it can help in first aid."

   "I see." Sonoko Suzuki praised vigorously, "You know so much!"

  Conan: "..." It's obviously the same thing, I just do it so I don't make trouble, and Jiang Xia does it because I know a lot? tui! Double standard dog.

  After washing the wound, Conan didn't squeeze a seat next to Takawako Toda with those college students, he backed out.

  Recalling the tooth hole on the back of Toda Takakazu's hand, Conan frowned, and said to a few classmates in a low voice: "It's really strange that it would bite on the back of the hand... If it is in this position, the tooth hole is too shallow."

   "Really?" Sonoko Suzuki scratched his head, "But I heard that sea snakes have small mouths, so it's normal to bite shallower."

  Jiang Xia: "Because the mouth is small, it is difficult to open the mouth to bite the back of the hand, so..."

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized: "So the snake's jaw just happened to be dislocated, and the upper half of its mouth was able to open wide, so it was able to bite the back of Toda Takawako's hand? - No wonder sea snakes that rarely attack humans suddenly bite people. Things like dislocations are really annoying, and presumably the same goes for snakes!"

Mao Lilan was successfully led astray by her, and ran all the way along this line of thought: "By the way, I remember that when the snake was swimming away, it also hurriedly spit out some white clay-like things from its mouth, and those things quickly It just melted into the sea and disappeared. I didn’t see what it was, but I guess it must be something like a coral soft shell—a sea snake accidentally bit it, and its jaw fell off. When it was struggling, it was caught by Toda who passed by him. Miwako was frightened, so she bit her hard, but because the coral stuck in her mouth hadn't spit out, the sea snake couldn't bite too deep, and only two shallow tooth holes were left in the end."

  The logic seems to be smooth.

  The two female high school students looked at each other and clapped their hands, their eyes filled with a sense of accomplishment.

  Conan: "..." As expected of Kogoro Mori's daughter.

  Jiang Xia looked aside, and suddenly noticed something, he pointed: "The ambulance is here."
