Just when Conan was at a loss what to do about the situation at the scene.

Lying on the hospital bed, with a ventilator mask installed and inhaling high-concentration oxygen, Masumi Sera slowly opened her eyes.

The spinning feeling, accompanied by the pain like needle pricks, poured into Sera Masumi's head.

It made her feel sick for a while.

After Sera Masumi regained consciousness, she quickly reached for her pocket.

She recalled that she had not yet completed her suicide.

However, Sera Masumi's pocket that originally contained the dagger became empty.

‘It’s over! The dagger was found? !’

In a daze, Sera Masumi's heart sank suddenly, and she realized that she might have messed up.

After a while.

The blurry scene that seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist in front of Sera Masumi gradually became clearer.

Her dark green eyes stared blankly at the ceiling of the hospital.

After being stunned for about five seconds,

Sera Masumi suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be arrested, but in the hospital.

‘I’m not dead? ! And he wasn't caught? ! ’

‘What is going on? ! ’

Sera Masumi felt very incredible.

Originally, she failed to defeat Belmode in a duel, and when she entered Kunio Koizumi's room to escape from the private hot spring, she was stopped again.

After Belmode hung up the phone call from "Conan" who was pretending to be Kunio Koizumi, Masumi Sera fell into despair.

She knew that her plan with Conan had completely failed.

The only thing he could do was to commit suicide to prevent himself from causing trouble to others after being arrested.

But Sera Masumi fainted after holding the dagger.

When he woke up again, he was lying in the hospital.

And his hands and feet were not tied.

Obviously, he was not captured by Belmode and Chianti, he is still alive!

‘Did I be saved by the boy? ’

Soon, Sera Masumi realized the fact that he had been rescued.

Because only in this way can the current situation be explained.

‘Speaking of which, how did I faint? ’

Sera Masumi recalled the scene before she fainted.

I felt completely weak at the time, and then suddenly lost consciousness.

Masumi Sera recalled in her mind, and at the same time noticed the ventilator mask installed on her cheek.

‘If you were simply knocked unconscious, there is absolutely no need to take oxygen. ’

‘Since I am breathing oxygen, it means that I should be experiencing symptoms of hypoxia. ’

Sera Masumi tried hard to search for the memories before she fainted, and then remembered that the air at that time was filled with a smell of rotten eggs that was much stronger than usual.

Then her eyes widened in an instant.

‘The smell of rotten eggs in hot spring areas is the smell of hydrogen sulfide. ’

‘At the same time, hydrogen sulfide poisoning will reduce blood oxygen saturation, causing tissue hypoxia. ’

'The doctor must have assessed my blood oxygen level and determined that I needed oxygen, so he connected me to a ventilator. ’

‘I didn’t faint from being knocked unconscious, but from hydrogen sulfide poisoning! ’

‘Then this shouldn’t be what the boy did! ’

Realizing that someone else might be involved in the case, Masumi Sera reached out and pulled off the ventilator mask on her cheek.

Then he pulled out the needle that was inserted into the blood vessel on the back of her hand and was connected to the intravenous drip.

Sera Masumi turned over and fell to the ground.

And after her feet came into contact with the shoes and she supported her body to stand up,

A strong pain suddenly came from the abdomen.

"hiss--"

Sera Masumi gasped, and then lifted the hem of her shirt.

Then he saw that the skin on his abdomen and flanks that had been hit by Belmode had turned light purple.

‘There’s bleeding under the skin. I’m afraid my mother will find out now’

My current condition is just the initial manifestation of subcutaneous bleeding.

The skin appears red or light purple when first injured, but as the blood gradually spreads, the bruise will turn dark purple or blue-purple within 6 to 24 hours.

By that time, his mother will definitely discover him.

Sera Masumi knew that there was no time to think about these useless things at this time.

She loosened the hem of her clothes, then took her coat, opened the door and ran outside.

Masumi Sera ran to the front desk of the hospital on the first floor and asked the staff on duty to call a taxi.

Then he quickly returned to Guquan Nunnery.

She paid the fare with the money in her coat pocket, but after Sera Masumi got off the bus, she saw a scene that shocked her——

Chianti, who was still fighting with him just now, had turned into a corpse at this moment.

‘Chianti is dead? ! ’

Sera Masumi's eyes widened, and he slowly walked towards the real culprit of the car accident that he had been pursuing for more than half a month.

When the surrounding detectives noticed someone approaching, they all looked over.

Immediately, the Okamura Police Department recognized Sera Masumi, and a look of surprise appeared on his cheeks.

"Miss Sera, why did you come back?! Aren't you poisoned?"

"What happened to her?"

Masumi Sera did not answer Inspector Okamura, but looked at Chianti and asked.

"Conan said that this person was killed by another woman wearing a Kosen-an staff uniform who broke her neck." Inspector Okamura answered.

Masumi Sera observed Chianti's body and also found the indentation marks on her neck, as well as blood on her body and the ground around her.

After asking the detective of the forensic department for the details.

Masumi Sera learned that Chianti had no bleeding injuries, so he judged that the blood should belong to someone else.

'If this blood is not Chianti's, then it should be Vermouth's. '

'Judging from the blood on Chianti, she should have been run away from Kosen-an by Vermouth. '

'But I tried my best and didn't hurt Vermouth much, so how did she bleed so much? '

Masumi Sera felt extremely confused in her heart.

She couldn't understand why Vermouth killed Chianti?

‘Chianti’s body is outside Kosen-an, which means she died outside Kosen-an.’

‘Since the boy said so confidently that it was Vermouth who killed Chianti, it means that the boy witnessed the scene.’

‘So, when the injured Vermouth and Chianti left Kosen-an, they happened to run into the boy outside.’

Sera Masumi frowned and thought, trying her best to restore the scene at that time based on the existing clues in her mind.

After a moment, she thought of a possibility.

‘Could it be that Vermouth couldn’t take Chianti away at that time, so in order to prevent Chianti from being caught, she had to kill Chianti?’

‘They ran into the boy outside, so it’s impossible that the boy made them like this.’

‘Who on earth could have caused Chianti and Vermouth to suffer so much and flee Kosen-an in a hurry? ’

Combining his previous experience of hydrogen sulfide poisoning, Masumi Sera concluded that there must be someone else who caused all this.
