Chapter 1800 1799【The Detective's Successor】

The short-haired senior smiled and said, "This is Kiwako's seat. You can just sit there. She is snorkeling in the sea and she probably won't come over for a while."

As she spoke, she looked towards the seaside and soon spotted a small figure. Matsuzaki Haru pointed over there: "Look, it's right there, waving to us."

 “Oh!” Mouri Kogoro looked over there along her direction, and vaguely saw a young girl with only her head above the water. He then waved his hand and said, "Hello—!"

Fei Yingli glanced at him with disgust, couldn't help but glance over there, and then froze.

"What do I think..." Fei Yingli pushed up her glasses, frowned and carefully identified the figure in the sea, "She seems to be waving not to say hello to us, but to ask for help?"

The next moment, as if in response to her words, Toda Takawako, who was exposed on the surface of the sea, sank.

  “?!”

Several college students were startled and stood up.

As soon as Jiangxia stood up, she saw Toda Takawako's fiancé rushing past him and heading straight into the sea.

 He turned his head silently and looked at the other two college students who were stunned: "I remember you just said that the fiancé doesn't seem to be able to swim?"

“!” The girl with a black face and short hair woke up from a dream, shouted “Come back, don’t cause trouble!” and rushed over.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko stood up worriedly: "I'll go take a look too."

Suddenly encountering such a thing, of course, a just detective cannot turn a blind eye.

Jiang Xia quickly ran to the beach with them.

The three people waded into the sea for a while. Before they could reach Toda Takakoko, another man suddenly emerged from the sea. The man scooped up Takawako Toda and brought her head above the water, thus avoiding the risk of drowning.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the "passerby" who was quick to save people, and suddenly realized that this was actually a guy he knew: "Romeo?!"

　Kariya Yuuto came here with the two female high school students from Sanmu High School who had a crush on him.

 It's just that the three of them had a disagreement not long ago. Although they wanted to go to the island together for various reasons, they couldn't talk at all. So halfway through, the lone ranger ran away without knowing when.

Unexpectedly, he was also playing in the nearby sea and accidentally saved someone.

 “Let her go, let me do it!” The little black-faced girl who was a step behind ran closer angrily, picked up Toda Takawako, and took her to the shore.

　　Toda Takawako choked twice in his arms and opened his eyes with difficulty.

The little black-faced boy's eyes lit up, and he was about to say a few words of condolences when he heard Toda Kiwako ask: "Where's Masahiko?"

 This is her fiancé’s name.

　　　…”

Although the situation was very urgent, Suzuki Sonoko looked at the sad expression on the little black face and couldn't help but pat the water and laugh wildly. Afraid of being discovered, she bent down and hid behind Jiang Xia.

 But she still laughed out loud. So when Jiang Xia looked up, she saw the little black face staring at this side with great anger.

Jiang Xia had no choice but to pretend not to see it and answer Toda Kikako's question for him: "Mr. Matsuzaki rushed into the sea just now to save you, but because he couldn't swim, we stopped him. Now he is still trying to walk this way. "

Toda Takawako closed his eyes weakly: "Really, that's great..." It seemed that the drowning man had been rescued, and his fiancé's performance had reached a passing standard. It seemed like a happy scene for everyone.

 But for some reason, Mao Lilan always felt uneasy.

 Suddenly something moved from the corner of her eye, and she felt like there was something in the sea. She took a deep breath, dived into the water, opened her eyes, and saw a sea snake wagging its tail and swimming away in a panic.

  “?!”

Mao Lilan was startled. Snakes in the sea are often more poisonous than snakes on land. She stood up straight and turned pale: "Snakes, there are snakes in the sea!"

 …

Several college students hurriedly put Toda Takawako on the beach.

Matsuzaki Masahiko couldn't believe it: "But, sea snakes rarely bite people, right? Kiwako has always had good luck..."

"Maybe she scared the snake when she was drowning and struggling, or maybe..." Jiang Xia had already finished making the emergency call. He looked at Toda Kikako, who was still conscious, "You were bitten."

 Toda Takawako raised her left hand with great effort. Jiang Xia looked down and saw two shallow holes on the back of her hand. There was already blood, which was very conspicuous on the fair skin.

Conan rushed to the restaurant, grabbed the black tea from the table, and poured it on the back of Toda Kikawako's hand.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at this scene in surprise: "Kid, what are you doing? Don't make trouble."

Jiang Xia looked at the cup in Conan's hand: "Black tea contains a certain amount of tannin. Tannin can inhibit the activity of snake venom proteins, which may help in first aid."

 “That’s it.” Suzuki Sonoko praised vigorously, “You know so much!”

Conan: "..." It's obviously the same thing. I just don't make trouble when I do it, but Jiang Xia does it because he knows so much? Tui! Double dog.

　　After washing the wound, Conan did not squeeze for a seat next to Toda Takawako with the college students. He withdrew.

Remembering the tooth cavity on the back of Toda Takako's hand, Conan frowned and whispered to several classmates: "It's really strange that he bites on the back of his hand... If it is in this position, the tooth cavity is too shallow."

"Really?" Suzuki Sonoko scratched her head, "But I heard that sea snakes have small mouths, so it's normal for them to bite shallowly."

Jiang Xia: “It’s because of my small mouth that it’s difficult to open it wide enough to bite the back of my hand, so…”

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized: "So the snake's jaw just happened to be dislocated, and the upper part of its mouth could be opened wide, so it could bite the back of Toda Kiwako's hand? - No wonder the sea snake that rarely attacks humans would bite people suddenly, with its jaw Dislocating a joint is really annoying, and I think it’s the same for snakes too!”

Mao Lilan was successfully led astray by her and followed this train of thought: "By the way, I remember that when the snake swam away, it hurriedly spit out some white clay-like things from its mouth. Those things were very fast. It just melted into the sea and disappeared. I didn't see clearly what it was, but I guess it was something like a soft coral shell. The sea snake accidentally bit it and broke its jaw. When it was struggling, it was killed by Toda who was passing by him. Miwako was frightened, so she bit her hard, but because the coral stuck in her mouth had not been spit out, the sea snake could not bite too deeply, and in the end only two shallow tooth holes were left."

 The logic seems to be smooth.

 The two female high school students looked at each other and gave each other a high-five, their eyes filled with a sense of accomplishment.

 Conan: “…” She is indeed the daughter of Kogoro Mouri.

Jiang Xia's eyes drifted to the side and suddenly noticed something. He pointed: "The ambulance is coming."
