Chapter 249 Snorkeling Test (7) Designated Driver

Although he said so, Li An also knew that Grandpa Terai would not hide these things.

Giving her own child some private space didn't mean Chikage wouldn't pay attention to the dangers she and Kaito had experienced.

She quickly dropped the matter and asked about Toda Takako's situation.

Terai Yosuke took Kuriyasu to find Matsuzaki Masahiko who was talking to several people who stayed in the hotel.

"Insurance card?"

Matsuzaki Masahiko held the phone and said, "Well, although Takako is fine, the hospital staff said that it would be more convenient if she had an insurance card."

"I know Guihezi always takes it with her when she goes out. I think it should be somewhere in the room."

Gui Hezi showed no signs of being bitten, and the first aid measures for drowning were also well taken. He is now in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU), receiving one-stop treatment services including oxygen supply, rewarming, and ECG monitoring in accordance with the rescue procedures for drowning victims.

She had changed into a clean hospital gown and put on a breathing mask, which was covered with a thin layer of mist.

All of this made Matsuzaki Masahiko feel deeply frightened.

"She was wearing a breathing mask... I was a little scared... would she die?"

The voice on the other end immediately rose: "Don't let your imagination run wild! I'll find the insurance card and rush to the hospital right away!"

Matsuzaki Masahiko hummed with a dazed look on his face.

Soon, the phone was taken away by another person: "I am Maori Kogoro, do you know how Kuroba Kuriyasu is doing now?"

"Mr. Maori, Miss Kuroba was not bitten..."

"Please pick it up for me."

When Matsuzaki Masahiko turned his head, he saw Miss Kuriasu with an ice pack tied to her wrist, and suddenly felt a little ashamed.

He had been paying attention to Guihezi, but didn't know much about Li An's situation. He only knew that she was not bitten.

Li An had no idea what this man was thinking, and quickly took the phone from him: "Uncle Maori, I'm fine."

The ice pack on the wrist felt a slight chill, and the red mark caused by the sea snake's initial struggle slowly turned into a shallow bruise, but it was blocked by the ice pack and could not be seen.

She made a subtle gesture to Grandpa Terai.

Terai Kōnosuke immediately caught up with Matsuzaki Masahiko and soon started chatting with him with a kind face, asking about Miss Takako's situation and comforting her very naturally.

Soon, the two went to Guihezi's room together.

Maori Kogoro on the other side was relaying Xiaolan's caring words, and then he heard Kurian speak seriously: "Please bring Miss Matsuzaki Haru over. Miss Takako should have something to say to her."

"Miss Kiwako shouldn't be awake yet." Maori Kogoro was a little confused, "How do you know what she wants to do?"

Li An glanced at the two people who had already left and lowered his voice: "I snatched the sea snake from Miss Matsuzaki Haru's hand. At that time, the snake's fangs were aimed at Miss Kiwako's hand."

"What did you say?!" Kogoro Mouri grabbed the microphone tightly.

When Conan Edogawa took Ai and followed the three suspects to Toda Takako's room to collect clues, and called the front desk to get the room card to swipe the door of room 406 to find the insurance policy, the story line of Kogoro Mouri had already been brought to an end by Kuriyasu.

Mao Lilan was a little anxious: "What's wrong! Did something happen to Sister Li An?"

However, Hime Eri felt that his tone was wrong.

That's not anxiety, that's shock.

what happened?

"It's okay... It's okay, Xiaolan, don't worry, the one who answered the phone now is Kuroba." Maori Kogoro comforted her, and then his tone became serious, "Kuroba, what you just said is true, right?"

Although he asked this, it is impossible for Kuroba Kuriyasu to joke about such a thing.

"The snake should have been in her waist bag. I guess there was tape in it to fix the sea snake. I also have a ball of it on my hand, which was wrapped around the snake's head."

"The tape...is it the wings that Xiaolan saw before?" Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself.

"Maybe." Li An certainly didn't hear the conversation between Xiaolan and the others when they were looking for the illustrated book, but he didn't deny it after hearing it. "I don't know why Miss Matsuzaki Haru hid the sea snake, and I don't know what the situation is with them. We will have to wait until Miss Takako wakes up to find out everything."

Kogoro Mori thought for a moment.

If Gui Hezi was really bitten, they would not be making sarcastic remarks here.

The only difference is that Gui Hezi drowned instead of being bitten by a poisonous snake...

But if the sea snake was brought into the sea intentionally, then drowning would not be an accident.

So... probably we have to wait for the parties involved to make a decision.

"They are going to the hospital to deliver the insurance certificate. Should we call the police? Let's wait until Miss Gui Hezi wakes up."

"I understand. Then... please take good care of Miss Matsuzaki Haru."

Maori Kogoro promised: "Of course! I will drive them there myself later."

Li An was strangely silent for a few seconds.

"I have another question."

"What's wrong?" Kogoro Mouri continued to listen to her carefully.

"You seemed to have drunk beer while eating just now... Can you still drive?"

Kogoro Mori's expression cracked.

"It seems... it's really not possible."

……

Because he was drunk, Dr. Agasa volunteered to be the designated driver for Kogoro Mouri, and drove Kogoro's rented car to the hospital with the three people who had obtained the insurance cards.

It’s nothing, it’s just that Dr. Agasa’s yellow Beetle is too small.

Because Mao Lilan was worried that Kurian and Takako were also planning to go, Kisaki Eri, who had only drunk black tea, took her daughter and two children with her.

Of course, there is actually another reason why Hime Eri is willing to go.

"Yili, I have something to tell you later."

There were not many cars on the straight road. Fei Yingli held the steering wheel with one hand, driving seriously while answering Xiaolan's questions.

"From what he said, I can barely piece together that Kuroba must have discovered some clues and stopped the incident from happening in advance."

Sister Li An found a clue? Conan immediately sat up straight and listened carefully.

"A clue..." Mao Lilan also thought about what her father said about calling the police, and thought carefully, "It should be related to the sea snake's 'wings' I saw. My father said it was tape..."

She muttered in a low voice, recalling the scene at that time: "If it was tape, then the sea snake might have been fixed somewhere before and carried with him..."

"To ensure safety...it should be in the bag."

She went over the locations of several people in her mind and quickly locked onto a waist bag.

Mao Lilan was a little bit unbelievable: "But...how could it be? She is Mr. Matsuzaki's sister?"

"And...it shouldn't be like this? Miss Takako's drowning..."

Fei Yingli slightly raised the corners of her lips.

"What do you think it is?"

"Ah? Are you talking about this?"

"It's not that. I mean what he wants to say. Didn't he just say he had something to say to me?" Hime Eri began to mutter to herself, "It's either divorce or the custody of Xiaolan. Other than that..."

"Mother……"

"I don't think anything will happen to him. The old man just wanted to test me."

"test?"

"It's always like this. First, let me waver, and then see how I react. There has to be a limit to how conceited you can be."

"Mom, don't say that..."

Hime Eri glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the car rented by Kogoro Mouri was following not far behind.

Edogawa Conan's eyes changed from confusion to understanding.

Haibara Ai is still in her trance.

Mao Lilan was still a little hurt at first, but suddenly she saw a faint smile on her mother's face.

That's not the case...it should be...

"Mom, you're obviously talking about the case...right?"

"Really? Wasn't I talking about that old man?"
