"Uncle Maori, please don't come near. It has finally calmed down."

Kuroba Kurian's face was ruddy and he was conscious. He had no signs of poisoning such as swelling of the wounds or stiffness of the body, nor any signs of having been bitten.

OK, it looks like it's OK.

Kogoro Mori thought.

Grandpa Terai and Ran Maoli arrived a few minutes late, bringing an eel cage and two professional safety guards.

They had the logo of the Princess Hotel on their chests - they were hotel people.

Dr. Agasa and Eri Kisaki stayed where they were and told the people surrounding Takako that they had called the emergency number.

The drowned Toda Takako needed medical treatment, and the teeth marks from a sea snake bite may not be obvious.

For safety reasons, Kuriyasu and the semi-conscious Toda Takako were sent to the hospital for examination.

Of course, there were two cars.

Only one family member could be in the ambulance, so Terai Konosuke got in one ambulance and Matsuzaki Masahiko got in another.

However, at this time, Li An, who had already undergone a simple examination, was clearly describing the appearance characteristics of the venomous snake to the ambulance doctor.

"It's about 40 centimeters long, black and white, with a round head and a flat tail. The snake's mouth is not big, and the teeth are in the front... They are front groove teeth."

The nurse next to her immediately took up her pen and wrote it down.

There were no minor wounds on Li An's body. The doctor breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not bitten, and then he checked the red marks on her arm.

"It's not serious. There will be bruises on your hands... It will heal in a few days. Apply cold compresses for the next two days, and warm compresses after 48 hours. We can have a detailed checkup when we get to the hospital."

"By the way, you saw the teeth... Is the snake ready to bite?"

"No, I held him down."

The doctor was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and asked for confirmation a second time: "Do you have symptoms of dizziness, blurred vision, muscle aches and weakness, or blurred vision?"

"No."

"Chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing?"

"No."

"The heartbeat is accelerating... Never mind." The doctor told the nurse to check for any injuries, and then he put on the stethoscope again, "Don't get up, don't talk, breathe slowly... I'll check again."

She was fine, but the doctor's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

……

The sea snake caught by Li An was carefully placed in a cage and taken to the hospital by one of the security guards to identify its species so that the serum could be selected.

In order to identify the snake species as quickly and accurately as possible, two safety officers worked in parallel.

The security officer who stayed here took Mao Lilan and several others who had observed sea snakes up close, and followed the hotel manager to the office of the Princess Hotel to look for the sea snake illustration.

Mao Lilan was one of the few people besides Kurian who had seen the sea snake carefully. She and a few others looked through the picture book with a serious look on their faces.

After flipping through a dozen illustrated books, she found a picture.

"That's it! I'm sure it's this kind of sea snake!"

The security guard immediately moved closer to check, compared it with the photo he had, and then called his companion.

Laticauda semifasciata, semi-ringed flat-tailed snake, also known as the Nagirara sea snake.

It has a gentle temperament and prefers to flee when in danger. Even if it tries to attack, it is very slow, but it is highly poisonous.

"How could there be such a sea snake in Izu?" Ito Yang asked with a frown.

The manager explained respectfully, "This type of sea snake sometimes takes advantage of the Kuroshio Current to come to the coast of Izu. Even if there is no swelling, you will die without knowing it if bitten by it. One fisherman died because of this."

Maori Kogoro looked unfriendly: "Don't tell me you open the beach to the public even though you know there are such dangerous sea snakes?"

The manager immediately waved his hands in panic.

"No! The fisherman who was poisoned died because a sea snake from the Yongliang tribe accidentally got mixed into the fishing net he was using to catch fish. He didn't notice it and was bitten to death when he touched the sea snake with his hand."

"Stop talking! No matter what, there are sea snakes here. They may attack humans at any time!"

"The Nagaha sea snake is a very docile species. Experts say it is unlikely that they will attack humans on their own initiative."

"Our hotel has been here for more than 20 years, and there has never been a single incident where a guest was bitten by a sea snake..."

"When Sister Li An caught the snake, it had already wrapped around her arm. If Sister Li An hadn't held its head down in time, it would have attacked," Mao Lilan retorted.

"This..." The manager was speechless.

Mao Lilan then asked: "Also, may I ask... Is there a species of this Nagarabu sea snake that has wings?"

"Wings? There shouldn't be such a variety."

"That's strange. I remember when we were in the water...it looked like the snake had two wings growing behind its head."

Conan clearly remembered that when Sister Li An took the sea snake out of the water, it did not have any wings.

Did Xiaolan see it in the water?

"Xiaolan, you can remember it so clearly after just looking at it for a moment. You are worthy of being my daughter!" Kogoro Mouri looked at his daughter with admiration.

"Because it was so shocking at the time, I remember it so clearly."

Fei Yingli crossed her arms and said slowly: "Yes, your observation ability is really extraordinary... It's really different from some people who didn't even notice that their wives' hands were empty and the rings were missing..."

Maori Kogoro put his hands in his pockets, looking confused: "Hey, what's wrong with the ring?"

"nothing."

Why are you still arguing at this time...

Mao Lilan sighed.

……

Li An, who had just been discharged from the hospital twenty days ago, underwent a series of physical examinations. When she finally came out of the clinic with an ice pack on her body, Terai Huang Zhisuke, who had paid the high ambulance bills for her and checked out of the ward, handed her a cell phone.

"It's Madam Qianying calling."

Li An picked up the phone: "Mom?"

"Xiao An, why are you in the hospital again?" Qianying's voice came from the transatlantic phone. The surrounding environment was a little noisy. "Last time it was Qingzi who told me, this time it was Terai who told me... What happened this time?"

"Just... caught a snake."

Hei Yu Qian Ying knew that she was traveling in Izu, and was puzzled when she heard her words: "I and your father have also been to the beach you went to. How could there be sea snakes there?"

"How could I possibly know..."

"Trying to fool your mother again... Never mind. You look so energetic, so you should be alright?"

As long as you don't get bitten.

"Yes, it's safe. Grandpa Terai is here too."

If she gets bitten, there's no way she'll be standing here and answering the phone.

"I'm glad you're okay. Stay safe. I'll wait for you to come home and video chat tomorrow night~" Qianying's voice became excited. "Now, your mom and I are going to watch the show!"

“See you on video.”

Kuroba Kurian put the phone down from his ear and stared at Terai Huang Zhisuke without blinking.

Grandpa Terai looked away guiltily, and his voice unconsciously lowered a lot.

"Such a dangerous matter must be told to the Madam..."

Li An handed over the phone and whispered, "The last time, oh, it seemed to be on my birthday, Kaito was almost caught by that group of people. Did he ask you to keep it a secret?"

It's Blue's birthday.

Terai Konosuke: "..."

"And last time, Kaito almost fell into the sea, and he didn't let you tell anyone?"

This is the dark night star.

Terai Konosuke: "..."

Li An spread his hands helplessly: "Grandpa Terai, you can't do this. Of course, we have to tell this kind of thing. How can you follow him and hide it from my mother?"

Of course we should be scolded together, how can we let her bear it alone!
