Chapter 013 An Accident
A group of people were chatting happily when Kana Hoshimoto came over with a few people.
She was wearing a black bikini with a large bath towel draped over her shoulders. Her legs were still wet, and as she walked, water droplets dripped down her calves onto the carpet.
Several little boys blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.
The people following behind her were similar, all dressed very lightly, forming a sharp contrast with these neatly dressed people.
Hoshimoto Kana walked over to Higashino Hiroshi's table and said, "What are you, the current president, doing hiding here? You should at least go say hello to Senior Kaneda!"
Dong Yexi smiled and said, "I greeted him when I came, and he told me not to disturb him." In fact, the two of them just looked at each other for a while, and all communication was based on eye contact.
Dong Yexi raised his chin: I'm here.
President Jintian shook his head and said: Come here and say hello!
Dong Yexi shook his head: No need!
President Kaneda raised his eyebrows: Forget it.
The two of them have a very good understanding.
Hoshimoto Kana glanced around and curled her lips: "You guys are just here to spoil the fun. You're still wrapped up so tightly at a hot spring party... How about giving you some chastity arches?"
At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly said, "I was wondering who was so generous as to book out an entire floor for a party. It turned out to be Miss Hoshimoto~" She smiled and said, "I just wonder if Uncle Hoshimoto knew his daughter was having so much fun?"
Hoshimoto Kana's face froze, she turned to look at her and asked in a deep voice, "Suzuki Sonoko? Why are you here?"
"I'm free to go wherever I want, and who dares to stop me?" Suzuki Sonoko propped her chin up with one hand and said with a smile, "I heard you're getting engaged soon. Is your fiancé here? Won't you introduce me to him?"
Hoshimoto Kana's expression turned even uglier. She glanced at Suzuki Sonoko and said coldly, "When you become like me in the future, I'll see if you can still smile."
Suzuki Sonoko grinned, revealing her white teeth: "I'm sorry, our family doesn't need a marriage alliance."
The veins on Kana Hoshimoto's forehead were throbbing, and she was filled with anger, but she didn't dare to confront Suzuki Sonoko, so she could only turn around and leave angrily.
A girl behind her didn't follow immediately. Instead, she said to Dong Yexi, "Senior Dong Ye, are you really not going outside? There are many people who come here just for you and want to get to know you."
Dong Yexi shook his head: "No need." Are you kidding? He just got rid of the "Sea King" label a few days ago, how could he jump into the fire pit again?
Neptune Social, retreat! Retreat! Retreat!
The girl got the answer and didn't try to persuade her anymore. She trotted to catch up with Kana Hoshimoto.
Anda Shizuku asked curiously, "Do you know Miss Hoshimoto?"
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand: "I'm not very familiar with her, I've only met her a few times."
Anda Shizuku asked again: "So you said she's getting engaged, is that true?"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded: "Yes, next month. This is her last party."
Adachi Shizuku smacked her lips and whispered in Higashino Xi's ear, "She used to chase after President Kaneda all the time. How could she just give up like that?"
Dong Yexi replied: "She probably didn't do it voluntarily. Okay, let's not discuss the past. After all, she's a girl, so it's not nice to talk about these things."
Anda Shizuku nodded to show that he understood. He then asked, "By the way, that new person hasn't arrived yet? Did they really let you down?"
Dong Yexi opened the chat interface and said to him: "No, I was delayed by something and have already rushed over."
Adachi Shizuku leaned back slightly, took a closer look at the chat history between the two, and nodded, "That's fine. After all, this is our first group activity, and if I don't participate, someone will always complain."
After a while, Higashino Hi estimated that Hatori Yui was about to arrive, so he stood up and walked out, preparing to wait for him on the first floor.
As he passed the glass door, he glanced at the outdoor pool and saw Kana Hoshimoto struggling feebly for a few times before slowly sinking into the water! Everyone around was playing around and didn't notice her at all!
Dong Yexi's pupils suddenly shrank. He remembered Conan's Death God attribute, and immediately pushed open the door and ran out, jumped into the pool, then swam quickly to Hoshimoto Kana, held her, and brought her to the shore.
The people in the pool and on the shore finally reacted and quickly pulled the person up.
Higashino asked everyone around to move aside and immediately slapped Hoshimoto Kana's face to try to wake her up, but she showed no signs of waking up. Fortunately, her breathing and pulse were normal.
Dong Yexi confirmed that her mouth and nose were not blocked, put her in a side-lying position, and said to the people around him, "Have you called an ambulance?"
Several people responded: "Yes, they are here soon!"
Higashino Hi held Hoshimoto Kana's wrist and observed her pulse.
He recalled the unnatural state of Hoshimoto Kana when she sank into the water, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "By the way, let's call the police."
The onlookers were all stunned.
Someone said, "Don't call the police if someone is drowning, right?"
Dong Yexi didn't explain much and prepared to do it himself. When he felt the wet pocket of his pants, he remembered that his phone had just been in his hand and now it seemed to have fallen to the bottom of the pool...
Just as he was about to call Anda Shizuku, he heard someone say, "I've called the police." He looked up and saw that it was President Kaneda.
President Kaneda shook his phone at him and gave him a look that said "don't worry."
The people inside, after seeing Dong Yexi suddenly run out to save people, also followed him out anxiously.
Seeing that Higashino Hiroshi's first aid skills were very experienced, Edogawa Conan didn't go over. But when he heard Higashino Hiroshi asking to call the police, his expression changed slightly.
Could it be that Miss Hoshimoto's drowning was not an accident?
Conan Edogawa sneaked up to Higashino Hiroshi, wanting to observe Hoshimoto Kana up close.
Dong Yexi noticed the young detective's intention and secretly covered for him.
Conan Edogawa looked very carefully and even reached out to touch the aorta on Kana Hoshimoto's neck.
There were no obvious scars on Miss Hoshimoto's exposed skin, and her breathing and pulse were steady, but she showed no signs of waking up.
He pondered for a moment, then turned and walked towards the beverage area.
Soon, an ambulance and a police car arrived downstairs. The hotel manager, thinking something serious had happened, hurried up and was relieved to hear that a guest had simply drowned. However, when he heard Dong Yexi say that the drowning might have been intentional, his heart began to lift again.
The team leader, Shiratori Renzaburo, frowned.
Because Higashino Hiroshi was the only one who saw Hoshimoto Kana sink, and there were no surveillance cameras near the hot springs, he specifically asked a police officer to accompany the ambulance and to have Hoshimoto Kana tested for drugs at the hospital. All alcohol and beverages at the scene were sampled for investigation, and all attendees were questioned by the police.
Someone grumbled and blamed Higashino Xi for being nosy. President Kaneda heard this and said, "I was the one who called the police. Why aren't you blaming me? You feel so guilty. Did you murder Kana?"
The man immediately shook his head vigorously: "It's not me! I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation!"
When Higashino Xi heard President Kaneda speaking for him, he smiled at him.
President Kaneda was slightly taken aback. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Dong Yexi's face and asked, "What skincare products do you use? Why does your skin look so smooth and even reflect light?"
Dong Yexi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he had forgotten that the [Immortal Item] would glow outdoors!
He hadn't gone out at night during this period. When he arrived at the hotel today, it was still daylight outside. He stayed indoors again and had no intention of coming out.
He was in such a hurry to save people just now that he didn't even remember to change the label!
Fortunately, the lights by the pool were very bright, so he couldn't be seen to be glowing.
Dong Yexi could only smile awkwardly and said, "It's no use. Maybe it's because I've been going to bed and getting up early lately, so I look better."
"Is it really that effective?" President Kaneda touched his face and muttered to himself, "Then I'll go to bed early starting tomorrow. Okay, let's set the clock to twelve o'clock first."
Seeing that he was no longer paying attention to him, Dong Yexi immediately slipped into the hot spring pool.
His phone is still submerged in water! Let's see if we can salvage it!
As soon as Hatori Yui reached the third floor, he saw a group of doctors and nurses carrying a stretcher hurriedly entering the next elevator, surrounded by police officers. He glanced at them in confusion and continued walking in, but was stopped by a police officer.
Hatori Yuiichi explained, "I'm here to attend the party."
The police asked him why he came so late.
Hatori Yuiichi explained that he was delayed for a while because of something at home.
The police then asked him if he knew Kana Hoshimoto.
Hatori Yuiichi said that he was a new member of the research club and only knew the president, Higashino Hiroshi.
Hatori Yui pointed in the direction of the venue and said, "Can I go in now?"
The police were puzzled: "The party is over now, why are you still going in?"
"Then I have to say hello to the president, otherwise he will think I didn't come." said Hatori Yuiichi.
The police nodded after hearing this, and reminded him before he went in that he might be questioned again after entering.
Hatori Yuiichi said he would cooperate with the police.
The conversation with the police was delayed for a while, so when Hatori Yui walked to the glass door, he saw this scene.
The hot spring pool shimmered in the night, a bright moon reflected in its center. Suddenly, a figure leaped from the water, shattering the tranquility. He tossed his hair carelessly, brushing it back with his hands, revealing a smooth forehead. He swam to the edge of the pool, pushed with both hands, lifted one leg, and scrambled to shore.
Hatori Yuiichi raised his eyebrows.
The person is beautiful, but the way she gets ashore is not very good.
Dong Yexi fished his phone out of the water and found it was turned off. He didn't force it to start or shake it, thinking he'd borrow a heating pad from the hotel receptionist later to see if it would still work after drying it.
After taking two steps, the lights around him dimmed. He suddenly remembered that he was particularly conspicuous in dark places, so he quickly changed into [Using his beauty to commit crimes].
The lighting was off, but [Using Beauty to Attack] combined with his current soaking wet state, it became...
As Yui Hatori looked at Higashino Hiroshi who was getting closer and closer, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Senior Higashino...is there such a big difference between day and night?
