Conan kissed me again and again, and Huiyuan was stunned

“Ah, it’s me!”

Xiaolan stood on the right side of Kudo Shinichi, with her hands folded in front of her, looking at the ambulance anxiously. Suddenly she heard a sound and hurriedly looked at the emergency team members.

The first aid team member fixed his eyes on Xiaolan and asked calmly:

"Do you know what kind of sea snake it is?"

"Kind...kind?"

Xiaolan didn't know the name of the sea snake she had seen before, and was at a loss for a moment.

The staff member of the Queen Hotel stood half a meter behind Xiaolan to the right. He was wearing a brown suit, light blue lining and dark brown tie. He put his hands on his waist and looked at Xiaolan carefully. He gave her a meticulous suggestion:

"If you need an illustrated guide on sea snakes, it's in the hotel office."

Xiaolan was slightly stunned and was about to respond.

"In that case."

The first aid team member trotted to the driver's seat of the ambulance and shouted without turning his head:

"Once you know the species of sea snake, contact the hospital immediately!"

Eight seconds later.

The ambulance drove away.

Except for Dongfang Haoyue, Kudo Shinichi and Maori Kogoro, everyone was immersed in sadness and could hardly move.

Seeing that no one was moving, Haoyue and Xinyi turned around, looked up at the staff, and reminded innocently:

"Big Brother, please take us to see the illustrated book!"

"it is good."

The staff member glanced at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi in a friendly manner, turned around, and extended his hand towards the open hotel lobby in the distance behind him. He looked politely at everyone who was looking at him, and gestured calmly:

"plz follow me."

--------

After a short time.

Queen Hotel, first floor, bright office, door closed.

Everyone gathered around the tall wooden table in the middle of the office.

“This, this is it!!”

Xiaolan stood on the smooth floor, holding a thick book on the types of sea snakes in both hands, and flipping through it carefully with full concentration. Suddenly, she found that under the familiar picture was written "Half-ringed Flat-tailed Sea Snake", and excitedly confirmed:

"It must be this sea snake, there's no mistake!!"

"I'll call the hospital."

Kisaki Eri stood behind Xiaolan on the right, looked calmly at the picture of the half-ringed flat-tailed sea snake, turned around, and walked gracefully to the landline phone on the tall wooden cabinet far behind her on the left.

at the same time.

"Half-half ring flat-tailed sea snake!?"

Ito Yang stood on Xiaolan's left, his eyes fixed on the picture, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he was extremely shocked.

Kawazu Kunio stood to the right of Xiaolan, looked down at the picture, and exclaimed in disbelief:

"Why would there be something like this in Izu!?"

The hotel manager stood behind Kawazu Kunio to the right, wearing a black suit, white lining, light gray tie, and semi-circular frame glasses, and explained carefully:

“Some sea snakes come with the Kuroshio.”

The staff member stood behind the manager to the right, looked at Kawazu Kunio politely, and said with regret:

"I heard that... a fisherman was attacked by a half-ringed flat-tailed sea snake. Because the wound did not swell, he refused treatment and died that night."

Maori Kogoro stood behind Xiaolan on the left, facing the manager, with his hands in his trouser pockets, leaning forward slightly, staring at the manager with narrowed eyes, and questioned in a bad tone:

"The waters surrounding your hotel are so dangerous, yet you dare to open them to tourists?"

“No, that’s not it…!”

The manager blocked his chest with both hands, looked at Maori Kogoro in panic, and tried his best to explain calmly:

"In the fisherman's case, he accidentally put his hand into the fishing net that was being salvaged, and the half-ringed flat-tailed sea snake was mixed in with the fish in the net and bit the fisherman out of stress.

In fact, the semi-ringed flat-tailed sea snake has a docile personality and is unlikely to actively attack humans.

We have been in the hotel business for more than 20 years, and before today, there has never been an incident of a half-ringed flat-tailed sea snake attacking a tourist."

Having said this, the manager calmly put down his hands.

"So to say......"

Itoyo held his chin with his left hand in the shape of a pistol, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at the cold floor. According to Toda Takako's personality and rational guess, he said:

"For fun, Guihezi put his hand into the cave of the half-ringed flat-tailed sea snake, which unfortunately led to this accident."

"yes......"

Harumi Matsuzaki stood behind Ito Hiro's left, with her head down, staring straight ahead without focusing on anything, her words filled with uneasiness.

Kudo Shinichi stood half a meter behind Maori Kogoro, his hands in his pockets, staring at Harumi and Ito intently, and reasoned calmly in his mind:

"No, that's not right.

That tooth mark was definitely not an accident, it was murder!!

The criminal deliberately grabbed a sea snake and attacked Gui Hezi!

In the cold waters...”

"Hey, Shinichi."

Dongfang Haoyue stood to the left of Kudo Shinichi, carefully observing his expression, then followed his line of sight to look at Matsuzaki Harumi and Ito Hiro, leaned to the right, put her red lips close to his ear, and whispered curiously to confirm:

"Is the criminal this time Miss Harumi or Mr. Ito?"

"Correct."

Kudo Shinichi came back to his senses, looked at Dongfang Haoyue who had retracted his head without hesitation, and explained calmly and softly:

“According to the plot reasoning rules proposed by Haoyue, the criminal is usually one of the newest people we know.

So if we rule out the possibility of an outsider committing the crime, the culprit should be Miss Harumi or Mr. Ito.

Let’s not talk about Ito for now, just Harumi... She knew that Miss Takako planned to check Mr. Masahiko’s feelings by drowning, which was enough for her to prepare for the murder in advance.

But...I didn't realize where Harumi hid the sea snake."

"what?"

Dongfang Haoyue made a surprised sound and asked in a puzzled voice:

“How does Shinichi know that Miss Harumi understands Miss Takako’s intention to examine Mr. Masahiko by drowning?

What does this matter have to do with the fact that the criminal is Harumi?

Also, why is it possible that Mr. Ito committed the crime?"

“First, the tooth marks left on the back of Toda Takako’s left hand prove that the criminal deliberately grabbed the sea snake and attacked her.

Secondly, there are two possibilities for the time when Gui Hezi was attacked by the sea snake. "

Kudo Shinichi looked at Dongfang Haoyue calmly and reasoned in a serious tone:

“First, before Takawako performed the drowning act, Ito Hiro dived into the water and grabbed the sea snake to attack her, but Takawako did not realize that she was being attacked by the sea snake and performed the drowning act as planned.

Second, the criminal knew that Gui Hezi would perform the drowning act, so he hid a sea snake on his body in advance, pretended to rescue Gui Hezi, and secretly caught the sea snake and attacked her. "

"That being said, the second possibility is more likely.

After all, after Toda Takako was poisoned, Ito Hiro tried his best to treat her. I don’t think the real criminal would try so hard to treat someone he wanted to kill, not to mention…”

Dongfang Haoyue finished his reasoning thoughtfully, looked at Kudo Shinichi in confusion, and muttered in a low voice:

"Moreover, according to Shinichi...Takako didn't realize she was bitten, and performed the drowning as planned...

How can someone not feel that they are being attacked by a sea snake...!"
