Chapter 1797 1804 [There is something wrong with this island]
Doctor: "Luckily, the fangs only pierced shallowly and were cleaned with black tea in time. Her coma just now may also be related to choking on water. She will be fine after a good night's rest."
Matsuzaki Haru stood at the door of the ward and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "..." The stab was very shallow? She had clearly used all her strength to suck milk at that time, how could it be... Was it the sea water that hindered her movements?
That's right. After all, it was a blind shot. And because the detective was not far behind her, she was inevitably a little flustered. It was normal that she didn't shoot accurately...
Matsuzaki Masahiko stood in front of his fiancée's bed, happy with the result. He turned around and saw his sister standing at the door, not daring to come forward. He was a little confused: "Why are you standing so far away? Come in, Takako is fine."
Jiang Xia moved a step to the side to make way for Matsuzaki Haru.
Matsuzaki Haru had no choice but to walk over with her head down. She looked down at Toda Takako, and before she could think of what to say, Toda Takako spoke first.
The sister-in-law she hated looked up at her, her watery eyes full of apology: "I didn't know what you thought of him before. It wasn't until I pretended to drown just now and you were the first to rush to my side that I understood the problem from your expression... I'm sorry, now it seems that what I asked you to do was too cruel, it's all my fault."
Matsuzaki Haru was stunned for several seconds before he said, "It's obviously me who is sorry for you."
Matsuzaki Masahiko and Black Face stood nearby, looking puzzled: "What idea? What cruelty? What are you talking about?"
"Nothing." Toda Takako smiled peacefully, "I was recklessly testing other people's feelings, and I got retribution, so I was bitten by a sea snake... That's all."
When those who knew the inside story heard this, they understood: she did not intend to pursue the murder that nearly led to her death.
Vermouth leaned against the door, looking at the surviving Toda Takako, her eyes never leaving her for a long time.
After a long time, she pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose: "..." I heard that before this, there was also a suicide attempt in Sangmu High School. In other words, Wu Zuo actually resisted the urge to kill two people in a row...
Realizing this fact, Vermouth certainly did not think about "turning over a new leaf" or "retiring from evil".
At this moment, there was only one word in her mind - big plans.
What on earth was there on that island that could make Wuzo willing to play two games of "Although you want to kill me, I decided to forgive you" with these weird-minded people?
…The more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.
Vermouth twirled the car keys in her pocket, wanting to find an excuse to take Mouri Ran and Conan back to Tokyo, the farther away from the island, the better.
Vermouth: "..." But if you really do this...
After thinking for a while, she decided to wait and see what would happen. It wasn't that she was worried about the other party's retaliation if she disrupted the show without authorization, but based on what happened before, Wuzo shouldn't really attack Angel and Cool Guy. At most, she could let them watch a few real horror dramas up close to train their courage... Strictly speaking, this wasn't a bad thing.
In the end, Vermouth retreated back to the corridor with a low profile and did not speak.
…
Everyone gradually left the ward, leaving the engaged couple, who had almost been separated by death, space to strengthen their relationship.
Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki went to talk about the ring and separation, and a few high school students followed them quietly out of curiosity to watch.
Jiang Xia walked a few steps slower, and when he turned the corner of the corridor, Matsuzaki Haru raised his hand to stop him.
"Are you really not going to call the police?" The short-haired senior student looked at him and asked, "For murder, even if the person involved doesn't want to, I will still be punished."
The man who was standing beside Toda Takako's bed with a pitiful look on his face and reflecting is gone. Matsuzaki Haru is now calm to the point of being a little aggressive.
Jiang Xia didn't hate her look. He stopped and said patiently, "In theory, it is true. But in reality, if the victim himself refuses to cooperate, calling the police will not achieve any results."
"In other words, the reason you didn't call the police was because you were worried that the two of us would team up to deceive the police and ruin your reputation?" Matsuzaki Haru laughed. She patted her small waist bag and teased, "But if I remember correctly, you just swore in front of many people in the dean's office that I was the murderer. Aren't you afraid that I will dispose of the evidence and sue you for false accusation in a few days?"
Jiang Xia looked at her and said gently, "You just lost your mind for a moment and went astray. I believe you are not that kind of person."
Matsuzaki Haru looked at him for a long time and smiled gratefully.
After Jiang Xia left, she looked at the back of this famous detective, and recalled the despair she had felt when he forced her into a desperate situation in the dean's office just now. Her eyes gradually turned cold.
"I'm not that kind of person?" Matsuzaki Haru tilted his head and whispered, "That may not be the case..."
She made a face at Jiang Xia's back, turned around with relief, and was about to leave, but suddenly found someone standing behind her.
He was a tall young man with short warm chestnut hair and a pair of glasses on his nose. He looked gentle and elegant.
Matsuzaki Haru was startled. But after carefully observing the other person's expression, she found that the "new doctor" who was acquainted with Jiang Xia had no abnormal expression. He should have just passed by and did not hear her mumbling just now.
She finally put her mind at ease, nodded to Dr. Shinde, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
But Matsuzaki Haru didn't see that behind her, just like she had just looked at Jiang Xia, the gaze of "Dr. Shinde" looking at her gradually became cold and pitying.
“Silly child.” Vermouth addressed her lovingly, but her voice lacked any warmth, as if she were a funeral director who had gone through too much. “Cherish your last moments.”
…
When she woke up the next day, it was just as the doctor had said. Although Toda Takako's face was still a little pale, she was no longer in danger.
"Thank you so much, thank you for keeping it a secret for us." Toda Takako found Jiang Xia and thanked her sweetly, "Xiaochun is actually very pitiful - because her parents divorced when she was a child, she has never felt safe, so she occasionally does some extreme things to protect herself, but she really doesn't have any bad intentions, she just can't control herself."
On the other side of the hall, Conan heard this, bit his straw and sighed, and couldn't help muttering: "I really don't know if Miss Toda is born with this personality, or because she knows that once the matter is exposed, there will be a rift between her and Matsuzaki Masahiko, so she subconsciously wants to lightly expose this matter and have a happy wedding next week."
