Chapter 1795 1802 [Uzo's Fun]
Vermouth faced the newly-appointed doctor and kept smiling: "..." Everyone knew that Uzo couldn't go out alone. In addition to his friends who came to cheer him up, there had to be space for at least four people.
Although she was not responsible for this at all, it was well known that when Uzo was in a bad mood, it was definitely not him who suffered.
If it was any other time, Vermouth might not bother to intervene. But this time, among the companions were the two children she cared about the most, so she could only put in more effort and pretend to be in perfect harmony with Uzo.
Amid the noise, two cars arrived at Izu Saito Hospital one after the other.
“You’re here!”
Matsuzaki Masahiko, who was staying at the hospital, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them. Although Toda Takako's current condition was unknown, he felt much more at ease knowing that someone he knew was by her side.
A group of people hurried to him to inquire about the situation.
Conan did not come forward. He was in Hibiki Eri's car when he came here just now. It seems that he heard some hints from eavesdropping on the conversation between mother and daughter. At this time, Conan already looked confident. He whispered to Jiang Xia: "I understand everything!"
Jiang Xia nodded: "But given their messy relationship, if Toda Takako escapes from danger, we don't know if she will cooperate in solving the case. If even the parties involved refuse to admit that the case happened, we have to bring the criminals to justice, and in the end this matter will become a joke."
Conan was stunned: "You, you know that too?!"
It turns out that Jiang Xia didn't say anything because he was worried about these things. Damn it, he thought...
Next to him, the "new doctor" who was quietly listening to the noise pushed his glasses and sighed silently: "..." Cool Guy is already very good at solving cases, but it's a pity that the opponent he chose is an unscrupulous question-setter who stands at the finish line.
Uzo must have enjoyed watching Shinichi running around and racking his brains to try to solve the case. What a nasty little bastard.
But on second thought, perhaps it was precisely because Shinichi had such outstanding detective talent that Uzo turned a blind eye to this interesting toy. Not only did he not expose him to the organization, but he even protected him... In this comparison, if you want to play, just play a bit. It's better than letting Cool Guy lose his life.
Vermouth: "..." Besides, she knew the organization's style of operation very well. If the identity of "Edogawa Conan" was really exposed, it would not be a simple and happy death waiting for him. Rather than spending the dark days in the laboratory, it would be better to do odd jobs on Uzo's stage. But speaking from a clear conscience...
Vermouth glanced at Conan.
Then he confirmed from the other party's micro-expressions: this mini high school detective really enjoyed the process of solving cases and mysteries, and his mood was rising as he broke through the fog and found the truth.
Vermouth: “…” One is willing to ask questions, the other is willing to solve them… Forget it, I’d better just keep quiet and maintain the status quo to avoid making things worse.
…
The two detectives discussed for a while and decided to reveal the truth only to the murderer first.
It's not because Conan knows the truth but can't tell it, it's because they are worried that the murderer will come up with another plan if the murderer fails. In comparison, if the murderer is exposed now, the murderer will at least not dare to kill in front of the detective.
Not long after, the hospital broadcast sounded, calling Kisaki Eri, Mori Kogoro, and Matsuzaki Haru, who were about to leave with gloomy faces, to the director's office.
The dean was a kind old lady. When she heard that Jiang Xia wanted to solve the case in the hospital, she immediately gave up her place, happily stepped aside with her signature, and prepared to watch the reasoning on the spot.
Although Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran were not named, they suddenly heard the broadcast and immediately came over with interest.
Seeing the situation at the scene, Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Xia with understanding: "You want to solve the case?"
Jiang Xia nodded.
Suzuki Sonoko became confused: "But wasn't that an accident? The poor sea snake had its jaw dislocated and was biting people because of the pain... Wait, did someone deliberately remove its jaw?!"
Conan couldn't help but hold his head in pain when he heard her reasoning.
In the chaos, Matsuzaki Haru quietly retreated to the door: "Sorry, this matter has nothing to do with me. I want to go and see how Takako is doing first."
"!" Conan stopped the person as soon as he saw him running away. "That's right. After all, it was the elder sister who did it. Of course you would pay attention to these things."
"?!" Matsuzaki Haru froze for a moment, "I, I don't understand what you are talking about..."
Jiang Xia looked at his watch and said, "The mouth of the half-ringed flat-tailed sea snake is very small. It is almost impossible for it to bite the center of the back of a human hand by itself. So the bite mark appeared in that position because someone pinched the mouth of the sea snake and stabbed Toda Takako with its fangs.
Matsuzaki Haru clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling a little: "You want to say that I was the one who stabbed her with the snake while she was drowning? But don't forget that Guihezi drowned by accident. She is familiar with water, and it is almost impossible for her to drown in such a shallow sea. Do I have to carry a snake with me every day just to wait for a slim chance of assassination?"
Before Jiang Xia could say anything, Conan suddenly spoke up beside him: "How strange! When people hear 'bitten by a sea snake' and 'drowning', they usually think that the person was bitten by the snake first and then drowned. But you seem to know very well that Sister Gui Hezi drowned first and then was stabbed by the snake's mouth."
Matsuzaki Haru choked and lost control of himself, looking at him with a somewhat ferocious look.
Next to it, the fresh scent of apples silently became stronger.
Jiang Xia leaned back in comfort in the aroma that surrounded him, and waited for a few seconds before continuing, "Of course you don't have to wait for some 'accidental drowning', because Toda Takako's drowning is inevitable.
"Some couples will intentionally or unintentionally set up some 'tests' in order to confirm their position in each other's hearts during the process of getting along. For example, after accidentally losing the wedding ring, they are anxious and want to see if their partner can notice the changes in their fingers. Another example is that after secretly finding the wedding ring, they want to return it and reconcile, but they can't lose face, so they have to drag it out to see how long the other party can wait patiently."
"puff--!!"
Maori Kogoro, who was drinking and eating melons nearby, choked on the beer in the can. He coughed a few times to catch his breath, and slapped the table: "Boy, just solve the case, don't use your observation skills on some weird things!"
"..." Fei Yingli blushed as she recalled that Jiang Xia had seen her fiddling with her fingers just now. She tried her best to maintain her dignity as an adult, "Children should not interfere in adult affairs!"
