Chapter 89 Masahiko Michie: Preserving Life is Important
"I don't know what you want to do, but..." Masahiko Michie didn't hesitate, took off his shirt, and smiled. "I really didn't lie to you, the fall was quite serious."
Masahiko Michie didn't have any tooth marks on his arm. There were large scratches from his left shoulder to his lower back, all broken skin, looking bloody.
Moreover, the part of the shirt he took off that covered the scratches on his back was also completely torn.
Chi Feichei: "..."
Is he trying to cover up the tooth marks where Hissashi bit him by directly scratching the area around the bite mark? He's ruthless!
"It looks really serious," Ran Mouri said, startled. "I don't think it could be Mr. Tao Xie. When Sonoko was attacked, didn't she bite the attacker's arm? Mr. Tao Xie doesn't have any bite marks on his arm."
"And Mr. Tao Xie's arm isn't furry either," Suzuki Sonoko said worriedly. "Mr. Tao Xie, we brought some medicine for external injuries. Do you want to treat your wounds first? If you don't treat them, it'll be bad if they get infected."
"Thank you," Masahiko Michie responded with a smile, and then asked, "But what's this about an attack?"
"Earlier, a man secretly sneaked into our Room and messed up our Things. He also attacked Sonoko who happened to come in," Ran Mouri said, looking at the Window. "Later, because we came, he didn't succeed and escaped through the Window."
"Maybe it's a Thief," Kyogoku Makoto went to the Window and looked. "It happened once before too."
"It happened before? Then why didn't you tell us before?" Suzuki Sonoko asked, dissatisfied.
"I think I mentioned it," Kyogoku Makoto quickly closed the Window and locked it. "Doors and Windows should be closed properly! And you're not good either, wearing such revealing Clothes that show your navel so late..."
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was stunned.
"Isn't this clearly inviting others to Attack you?" Kyogoku Makoto turned his head and said, "I don't think these Clothes suit you at all."
"What are you talking about? These are my favorite Clothes!" Suzuki Sonoko was even more dissatisfied.
"Ignore him," Masahiko Michie leaned closer to Suzuki Sonoko, smiled and winked. "I think you look good in anything, of course, Yukata and Swimsuit too."
Haibara Ai watched from afar and whispered to Chi Feichei and Conan, "Complete defeat."
Chi Feichei also whispered, "You should be more tactful when talking to girls."
Conan and Haibara Ai looked up at Chi Feichei at the same time: "..."
How dare he say that? When Chi Feichei scared away two girls last night, he wasn't tactful at all.
Chi Feichei was silent for a moment. "Exceptions are made for situations where you don't want to be entangled."
Conan chuckled inwardly, but remembered another thing, and deliberately asked Chi Feichei loudly, "By the way, Brother Chi, you told us before that Hissashi has a Mild Toxin, right?"
Chi Feichei understood Conan's meaning and nodded in Cooperate.
Conan observed Masahiko Michie's expression and found that Masahiko Michie's Face didn't change. He was puzzled, could it really not be Masahiko Michie?
Masahiko Michie simply didn't know what bit him, let alone why Conan mentioned Snake...
"Huh? Hissashi has a Mild Toxin?" Suzuki Sonoko was a little surprised. "The person who attacked me was bitten by Hissashi, will he be alright?"
Masahiko Michie: "..."
Wait, the thing that bit him was a Snake? And a Snake with Mild Toxin?
Chi Feichei was a little worried that Masahiko Michie would be so frightened that he would confess directly. "He won't die. The specific Situation depends on individual Physique."
"As long as he doesn't die," Suzuki Sonoko was relieved. Thinking about the Attack earlier, she was still a little angry. "It's good to make that Underwear Thief uncomfortable!"
Ran Mouri turned her head and found that Kyogoku Makoto was already packing their Things on his own. "What are you doing?"
"Helping you change Rooms," Kyogoku Makoto packed up the Things and picked them up. "If you want to spend the night in a Room that someone has broken into, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Ran Mouri's momentum weakened. "I don't want to..."
"It's best to avoid going out and stay in the Hotel's Dining Room for Rice," Kyogoku Makoto walked out carrying the Things. "That man might still be lurking somewhere, waiting for an opportunity."
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly became nervous. "What do you think, Ran?"
"I think we should just stay here to eat," Ran Mouri was also a little scared. "Anyway, Brother Chi and Ai will also eat here. Mr. Tao Xie, why don't you join us too?"
"I want to treat my Wounds first." Masahiko Michie was very flustered inside, but still maintained a smile on his Face.
Chi Feichei roughly understood Masahiko Michie's idea. Now that Suzuki Sonoko wanted to change Rooms and treat Wounds, his Room was the most suitable. "Go to my Place then."
Haibara Ai took Hissashi and let Hissashi wrap around her Arm. "Then I'll take Hissashi over first."
Masahiko Michie looked at the Snake wrapped around the fair Arm, and then at Haibara Ai's indifferent Face: "..."
It's like a Ghost Doll from a Horror Movie...
...
Arriving at the Room, Chi Feichei put the Disinfectant, Ointment, and Bandage on the table, and stood aside waiting.
Masahiko Michie silently treated his Wounds. Without looking up, he could feel a cold gaze staring at him, and he felt a little regretful in his Heart.
This group of people felt difficult to deal with. Every time he was stared at by Chi Feichei, he felt like he was being stared at by a cold Snake. There was also a Little Girl who seemed indifferent to everything, and a real Snake...
He had a bad start tonight and even got injured. Would it be better for him to run away early?
As long as he ran away in time, by the time the Police reacted, it would be too late...
No, no, that won't do. Yesterday when he committed the Attack, he seemed to see a Flash, and Suzuki Sonoko happened to pass by near the Scene, carrying a Camera with her.
After his inquiries during the day, Suzuki Sonoko did take special Photos and was going to show them to a Detective. Maybe they would see something. He would still be Wanted by the Police then. It would be better to get the Photos before running away...
No, no, he should first figure out what Snake Venom he was poisoned with. Preserving life is important!
Chi Feichei observed from the side and noticed that Masahiko Michie was absent-minded and his eyes were constantly changing. He considered whether to give Masahiko Michie a 'milk' (reassurance/comfort) to stabilize him.
Masahiko Michie regained his senses, adjusted his Emotion, and smiled as he proactively started a conversation. "Mr. Chi keeps a Snake as a Pet because he likes this kind of unusual Pet?"
"Mainly because of Fate." Chi Feichei breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart. It seemed that Masahiko Michie was still quite resilient.
"Really? I'm also someone who believes in Fate a lot, but I've never actually had contact with a Pet like a Snake before. It feels very special," Masahiko Michie showed interest in Snakes. "Did Mr. Chi buy it from a Pet Shop? If it's a Mild Toxin, being bitten wouldn't be too serious, right?"
"Symptoms of Muscle Weakness and Full Body Paralysis will start to appear within 30 minutes to 3 hours... similar to Sea Snake Venom symptoms, but not that serious," Chi Feichei also didn't want Masahiko Michie to be exposed or die too early. "Of course, if you go swimming after being bitten and no one saves you, you will definitely drown."
"Oh, then as long as you're careful, it's not too serious," Masahiko Michie breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart, but didn't show it on his Face, still maintaining a smile. "By the way, Sonoko seems to have taken some interesting Photos. She also said she was going to show them to Miss Mouri's Detective boyfriend. Do you know about that?"
"I don't know." Chi Feichei directly blocked Masahiko Michie from getting more information.
Masahiko Michie smiled, didn't mention the Photo again, and chatted with Chi Feichei about Pet Snakes, acting as if he was really interested.
After his Wound was almost treated, Masahiko Michie didn't stay in the Hotel for long. He went to the Dining Room to say hello, said he wanted to go back to rest properly, and made plans with Suzuki Sonoko to have Rice together tomorrow, then left directly.
