Chapter 156: A Helpless Lie

"Moses Moses, what's wrong Conan. "Shortly after I left the room, I received a call from Conan. There won't be any more accidents, right?

"Kaoru, where are you now?" Conan's tone was not eager, and there should be nothing to do.

"I just came out of the hotel to change clothes, and I was about to look for you. I looked into the lobby of the hotel, but I didn't see any sign of Conan. "But then again, where are you guys? Why didn't I see you in the lobby. ”

"That's what I'm telling you. Conan smiled wryly. "Just now my uncle met a few college students on the way back from the toilet, and several of them are my uncle's detective fans, so we were all invited to the big.wave restaurant in the back for dinner, and now I will call you to tell you, and come over when you are done with the matter at hand. ”

"Oh, good. I'll go over it. I said calmly. "My mom...... How?"

“…… Aunt Yingli's state is okay. Stunned for a moment, Conan whispered back to me. "At least when you left us, I could still see Auntie's eyes red. It is now back to state. Although there are still some soulless looks. ”

“…… Is that so?" I felt a little unbearable.

"What about you, are you alright?" Conan asked.

"I'm fine. I'll go look for you in a moment. I calmed down and hung up. About ten minutes. I walked over to Conan's side.

"Ahh

"It's nothing, I'm used to wearing this dress. "I'm not wearing a trench coat at the moment. Just wore a V-neck t-shirt.

"Ah, Kaoru-chan. There you are. "Xiaolan saw me. "Let me introduce you to another child who lives in my house, and his name is Kaoru Mingya. Xiaolan whispered to a few people I didn't know next to her.

"Sister Xiaolan, who are they?"

"Oh, the sister in the pink swimsuit in the middle is named Takawako Toda, and next to her is Miss Harumi Matsuzaki, both of whom are Dad's detective fans. So we got to know each other. Xiaolan explained with a smile.

"Hello little brother. Kiwako smiled softly at me.

"Wow~ What a cute child. Harumi Matsuzaki beside her looked at me with stars in her eyes.

"Hello, Toda-san. Sister Matsuzaki. I said politely.

To Toda's right is his fiancé and Matsuzaki-samatsuki's older brother, Masahiko Matsuzaki. Xiaolan continued to introduce me. And the name of the elder brother on the far right is Kunio Kawazu, and they are both members of the university diving club. ”

"Hello. I greeted the two of them.

"You know what, Kaoru-chan. Ms. Toda and Mr. Matsuzaki will be getting married next week. Xiaolan said with envy.

"Hey~ That's really congratulations, Sister Toda, Brother Matsuzaki. ”

"Where, where. Masahiko Matsuzaki smiled and touched the back of his head.

"Well, thank you, little brother. Takazuko Toda said gently. "By the way, Harumi, can you go to our room and get me a new towel?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?!"

Harumi was a little surprised by Kiwako's words, and another voice of confusion came from me.

"Guihezi, you won't want to ......" Guihezi's side. Masahiko asked.

"Yes, I think now I suddenly want to swim in the sea for a while. With that, Kiwako untied the bath towel tied around her waist.

"You've already drunk. No problem, you don't have to rush to go today. Let's go again tomorrow. Harumi looked at Kiwako with concern.

"It's okay, I just drank a little. Besides, I just want to do a little bit of snorkeling. With that, Kiwako put on snorkeling goggles.

"Then, I'll go with you. Kawazu Kunsheng on the side accosted.

"No, I don't have to. Kiwako waved her hand, "I want to dive alone for a while." He said. Kiwako ran out. "Harumi, I'll leave the towel to you. ”

"Kiwako ......" seat. Harumi looked a little worried in the direction where Kiwako had run.

"Did you just wonder a little bit?" Conan asked me as he approached my side as he watched Kiwako run out.

"Hmm? I glanced at Conan. Affirmed his words.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Why are you so suspicious? I squinted at Conan.

"Because you have the ability to hear sounds. Conan said with a hippie smile. "Your doubts just now must have been due to the discordant sound you heard, right?"

"You're really ......," I shook my head helplessly. "It's so noisy here, I can't even hear your heartbeat next to me, how can I listen to the discordant sound. ”

"Then what do you wonder. ”

"It's nothing, but I think it's a bit of a surprise that Miss Toda suddenly wants to swim. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You think, I've just been here, and before I can say a word, she's in a hurry to go swimming, and even after drinking, even if she wants to go diving, don't you think it's a little rude to face the person who just came? I analyzed.

"Hmm...... It's really reasonable, but I guess you're thinking too much. Just go for a swim. Conan sneered.

"Well...... Preferably as you say, I don't want anything to happen on this day. ”

"Is there any special significance to today?"

"Stupid. I squinted at the half-moon and complained. "Today is the day when our family of four is together. Anyway...... My words came to an abrupt halt, because I was seeing my mother looking at me intently. His eyes were full of hope. What I just said was heard?!No, there are two people between me and my mother, Xiaolan and Conan. And we speak quietly. How could it be heard. "That, that, Aunt Yingli. What's the matter?" I looked at my mom suspiciously.

“……”

"Auntie?" I stretched out my hand and shook it in front of my mother's eyes.

"Ahh "Ah, no, nothing, sorry. My mother hurriedly adjusted her state, pulled me to sit beside her, and said softly. "Kaoru-chan, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Well, you can~" I smiled with my little white teeth.

"Hmm. What about the people in your family?"

"They all work abroad and rarely come back. ”

"I heard that your family is a relative of Dr. Asasa?"

"Yes. My father and the doctor were distant relatives, so he asked the doctor to take care of me. ”

"Can I talk to him on the phone?"

"This ......"

"Why, are you embarrassed?" asked my mother, urging me step by step. It seems that she is really suspicious of my identity. Despite Daddy's explanation, but. She still didn't want to give up the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

"Ah, no. I hurriedly waved my hand, "I...... I'll just call him. With that, I took the phone out of my pocket and dialed it out.

“…… Hey, Mom, it's me, Kaoru. That one...... My aunt at the place where I stayed wanted to talk to my dad, but he's busy? hmm...... Then I'll ask. With that, I covered the phone and asked my mother. "Aunt Yingli. My dad is busy. Is it okay for my mom to answer the phone?"

"Well, that's okay. There was a hint of loss in my mother's eyes. Took the phone from my hand. "Hello. I'm Fei Yingli. It is the wife of Kogoro Maori. ”

"Hello, Miss Concubine. I'm sorry Kaoru has caused you trouble. On the phone, a gentle female voice came into my mother's ears. "I'm Kaoru's mother, Mingya Jingliu, please advise. ”

――――The smell of orchids, the taste of lavender, the taste of home > the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians――――

A few minutes later, my mom gave me the phone back. Then he sat back in his seat and remained silent. But the look of disappointment on her face fell deeply into my eyes. I'm sorry Mom, but at this moment I can only deceive you in this way.

Got the phone back. I walked outside under the pretext of going to the toilet and raised my hand to send a message to Shizuru.

[Well done, Sister Shizuru. Of course, it was Jingliu, otherwise I wouldn't have found anyone else to help me lie, but fortunately, at the beginning I talked to myself like a cannonball, and the smart Jingliu immediately reflected the situation I was in, so he naturally helped me act in this play.

[Remember to call your mother next time~] Shizuru quickly replied to me.

【......】I'm sweating, this girl......

[Hee-hee, don't be angry, Bing~] Jingliu immediately became coquettish. [That person just now is your ......?]

[Well, she's my mom, and today is the first time I've met her, and she seems to be suspicious of my identity. 】

[After all, it's your mother, maybe her memory of you is still retained in you ten years ago, although the color of your hair has changed, but she is familiar with you, I believe she is the clearest. Bing, you have to pay attention to yourself. 】

[Well, I know, but I guess it won't be long, Sister Jingliu, I will still need your help. 】

[Well, anyway, I'm taking advantage, this kind of thing doesn't matter~]

【Hey......】

[Hee-hee, just kidding~ Then be careful yourself. 】

[Hmm.] I'll see you in a few days. 】

【Good~】

After a brief conversation, I walked back to the dining room and came to the table, only to see that the people who had just gathered around the table were gone. Only Mom and Dad are left.

"Huh, what about the others?" I think Dad asked.

"Uh-huh, you're back, boy. Dad said plainly. "Just now when you were away, Miss Kiwako drowned in the sea. Everyone rushed to save her. "Following my father's gaze, I saw that on the beach, the group just now was carrying Guihezi to the shore, and Conan was running towards us.

"Hurry up, uncle, call an ambulance!" Conan said nervously.

"What's wrong? Isn't it just drowning? I almost drowned just now, but haven't I been rescued now?" Dad wondered.

"Sister Kiwako's hand has been bitten by a sea snake!" Conan shouted.

"Sea snake!?" Mom's expression froze.

"Hey, sea snakes are very poisonous!" said Daddy.

"That's why you called an ambulance!" Conan continued. Then he ran to the table behind us and picked up a cup of iced tea. "Kaoru, you're going to treat it urgently!"

"I'm going to go right away. "I didn't answer Conan's question, after all, human life is at stake now. Every second of slower is more dangerous, and if I don't help, I guess Conan will have to fall out with me because of this one.

Grabbing a fruit knife from the table, I headed for the beach. Before leaving, he shouted to his father, "Uncle, lend me a lighter." ”

"Uh-huh. "Dad took a lighter out of his pocket and threw it to me. Watching me run to the beach, my dad wondered. "Iced tea, lighters, fruit knives, what are those two kids going to do? ”

"Emergency treatment. Sterilize with a lighter-baked fruit knife, cut the wound, suck out the poisonous blood, and then neutralize the tannic acid in the iced tea for emergency treatment. Mom stared intently at Conan and me, who had run back to shore.

"But...... Why do those two imps know this?" Dad wondered.

"Compared to the two of us adults who can only stare dryly, those two children are much more useful. Mom said, staring at our backs. "Alright, so-and-so from the former policeman, hurry up and call an ambulance. ”

"What about you?" Dad looked back at his wife, who had a stern face.

"I'd like to see it again here. Mom didn't look away. "Want to see again...... Kaoru-chan. ”

"Yingli ......" Dad seemed to see through his mother's mind. He patted her lightly on the shoulder, and then walked towards the dining table, to his mobile phone. (To be continued)
