Chapter 1792 1799 [The Detective's Successor]
The short-haired senior smiled and said, "It's Gui Hezi's seat. You can just sit there. She's snorkeling in the sea and probably won't come over for a while."
As she spoke, she looked towards the sea and soon spotted a small figure. Matsuzaki Haru pointed over there: "Look, right there, waving at us."
"Oh!" Maori Kogoro looked over there in the direction she pointed, and vaguely saw a young girl with only her head above the water. He then waved his hand and said, "Hello——!"
Kisaki Eri glanced at him with disdain, and couldn't help but glance over there, and then she was stunned.
"Why do I feel that..." Hibiki pushed her glasses and frowned as she carefully identified the figure in the sea, "She waved her hand not to say hello to us, but to ask for help?"
The next moment, as if in response to her words, Toda Takako, who had emerged from the sea, sank with a gurgling sound.
“?!”
Several college students were startled and stood up suddenly.
As Jiang Xia stood up, he saw Toda Takakazuko's fiancé rushing past him and heading straight into the sea.
He turned his head silently and looked at the other two stunned college students: "I remember you said just now that the fiancé didn't seem to be able to swim?"
"!" The little black-faced girl and the short-haired girl woke up as if from a dream, and rushed over while shouting "Come back and don't make trouble!"
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko stood up worriedly: "I'll go take a look too."
When encountering such a thing suddenly, the righteous detective certainly cannot turn a blind eye.
Jiang Xia quickly ran to the beach with them.
The three waded into the sea for a while, but before they could reach Toda Takako, another person suddenly emerged from the sea. The person picked up Toda Takako and lifted her head out of the water, thus avoiding the danger of drowning.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the "passerby" who saved the man so quickly, and suddenly realized that this was actually a guy she knew: "Romeo?!"
Yuto Kariya came here with the two female high school students from Kuwagi High School who had a crush on him.
However, the three of them had just had a disagreement not long ago, and although they had to go to the island together for various reasons, they couldn't talk at all. So halfway through, the lone ranger ran away without knowing when.
Unexpectedly, he was also playing in the sea nearby and accidentally saved someone.
"Let her go, let me do it!" The little black-faced guy, who was a step slower, ran over angrily, took Toda Takako and took her to the shore.
Takako Toda coughed twice in his arms and opened her eyes with difficulty.
The black-faced boy's eyes lit up, and he was about to say a few words of comfort when he heard Toda Takako ask, "Where's Masahiko?"
This is her fiancé's name.
“…”
Although the situation was extremely urgent, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but laugh wildly while slapping the water at the sad expression on Xiao Hei's face. She even bent down and hid behind Jiang Xia for fear of being discovered.
But she still laughed loudly, so that when Jiang Xia looked up, he saw the little black-faced man staring at him angrily.
Jiang Xia had no choice but to pretend that he didn't see it and answered Toda Takako's question for him: "Mr. Matsuzaki just rushed into the sea to save you, but because he couldn't swim, he was stopped by us. Now he is trying to walk over here."
Toda Takako closed her eyes weakly: "Really? That's great..."
It seemed that the drowning person was rescued and the fiancé's performance was up to standard. It seemed like a happy scene for everyone.
But for some reason, Mao Lilan always felt uneasy.
Suddenly, she felt something in the sea. She took a deep breath, dived into the water, opened her eyes, and saw a sea snake wagging its tail and swimming away in panic.
“?!!”
Mao Lilan was startled. Snakes in the sea are often more poisonous than snakes on land. She stood up straight with a pale face: "Snake, there are snakes in the sea!"
…
Several college students hurriedly placed Takawako Toda on the beach.
Matsuzaki Masahiko couldn't believe it: "But, but sea snakes rarely bite people, right? Guihezi has always had good luck..."
"Maybe she scared the snake when she was struggling to drown, or maybe..." Jiang Xia had already finished calling the emergency number. He looked at Toda Takako who was still conscious, "Where were you bitten?"
Toda Takako raised her left hand with great effort, and Jiang Xia looked down and saw two shallow holes on the back of her hand. Blood had already appeared, and it was very conspicuous on her fair skin.
Conan rushed to the restaurant, snatched the black tea from the table, and poured it on the back of Toda Takako's hand.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the scene in surprise: "Little boy, 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, which can inhibit the activity of snake venom protein. It may be helpful in first aid."
"I see." Suzuki Sonoko praised loudly, "You know so much!"
Conan: "..." It's obviously the same thing, I just don't mess up, Jiang Xia just knows a lot? Tui! Double standard dog.
After washing the wound, Conan did not squeeze for a seat next to Toda Takako with those college students. He stepped out.
Thinking of the tooth hole on the back of Toda Takako's hand, Conan frowned and whispered to several classmates: "It's really strange that she would bite on the back of her hand... If it's in this position, the tooth hole is too shallow."
"Really?" Suzuki Sonoko scratched her head. "But I heard that sea snakes have very small mouths, so it's normal for them to bite shallowly."
Jiang Xia: "It's because my mouth is so small that it's hard to open my mouth wide and bite the back of my hand, so..."
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized: "So the snake's jaw was dislocated, so the upper half of its mouth could open wider, so it was able to bite the back of Toda Takako's hand? - No wonder sea snakes that rarely attack humans suddenly bite people. A dislocated jaw is really annoying, and I think it's the same for snakes!"
Mao Lilan was successfully led astray by her, and followed this line of thought all the way: "Oh, right, I remember that when the snake was swimming away, it hurriedly spit out some white clay-like things from its mouth. Those things quickly dissolved into the sea and disappeared. I didn't see clearly what they were, but I think they should be coral soft shells or something like that. The sea snake accidentally bit it and broke its jaw. When it was struggling, it was scared by Toda Miwako who passed by it, so it bit her hard. But because the coral stuck in its mouth had not been spit out, the sea snake couldn't bite too deep, and in the end only two shallow tooth holes were left."
The logic seems to make sense.
The two female high school students looked at each other, clapped their hands, their eyes full of a sense of accomplishment.
Conan: “…” As expected, she is the daughter of Kogoro Mouri.
Jiang Xia's eyes drifted to the side, and suddenly he noticed something. He pointed and said, "The ambulance is here."
