In short, by the time Fei Yingli regained consciousness, the sky outside the window had completely darkened. As night fell, there were no lights on in the ward. Everywhere she looked when she opened her eyes was pitch black. Only the neon lights of the night view of downtown Tokyo outside the left window were shining. .

The air was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant. Since it was a separate ward, there would be no annoying situation like someone in the bed next door playing short videos loudly on their mobile phone. The whole room was quiet, as if there was no one else but myself.

"Uh……"

Fei Yingli tried to speak, she wanted to ask if anyone was there, but the discomfort in her throat caused by gastric lavage made her only able to utter meaningless monosyllables.

At the same time, something seemed to move next to the bedside table on the side of the balcony near the hospital bed.

"Auntie, are you awake?"

"……Eh!?"

Fei Yingli just had a discomfort in her throat, not completely mute. Another creature suddenly appeared in the room where she thought there was no one else, startling her severely.

But after the fright, Her Majesty the Queen soon realized that the voice sounded familiar, especially the silhouette of the city night view and starlight outside the window.

"Are you... Sera-kun?"

"it's me."

Serabel stood up and answered, while raising her hand to turn on the bedside lamp above.

Warm lights fell from above, and Fei Yingli suddenly noticed that the boy turned on the light with his left hand.

Logically speaking, the bedside lamp is directly above the head of the hospital bed, and Serabel is sitting on the left side of the hospital bed, which means the bedside lamp is on his right side.

Shouldn't it be right to use the right hand?

Why use such an awkward posture?

As if she finally noticed something, Her Majesty the Queen raised her neck slightly and looked down...and saw that her left hand was clumsily stretched out of the quilt, firmly grasping Serabel's four fingers except for her thumb.

"No, sorry..."

When she came back to her senses and noticed the sticky feeling on her palms due to sweating, Fei Yingli's pale face turned slightly red. She hastily let go of her hands and retracted under the quilt, her eyes wandering and she changed the topic.

"Um...it was Sera-kun who called the ambulance to take me to the hospital. I'm really sorry for you, and..."

Fei Yingli didn't continue talking, but Serabel knew what she was thinking just by looking at the eyes that were wandering around as if they were careless but actually looking for details.

"As Miss Lan said, Auntie had already come here when you were still in the operating room. She was originally going to stay with you overnight to take care of her, but Uncle Maori seemed to be drunk and needed someone to take care of him. Conan couldn't handle it alone, so he asked She went back to take care of Uncle Maori and I stayed. Anyway, according to the doctor, the problem is not big. If there is no problem tonight, I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

Upon hearing that Mouri Kogoro was drunk again, Fei Yingli frowned slightly and seemed to want to say something, but after a moment of pause, she gave up and let out a faint sigh.

"That's right. It's really hard on that kid Lan."

After about four or five seconds, Fei Yingli seemed to remember something again and asked.

"Then the police shouldn't be making things difficult for you, right?"

"That's not true, but the situation is a bit complicated." Serabel shook her head, "According to the police, this incident might be a serial murder case."

"Serial killings?"

"Well, because before Auntie you were attacked, the Mu Mu Police Department was also attacked two days ago while running in the morning. Fortunately, Auntie was just like you. You were only slightly injured and not in danger of life. However, the criminal was left at the scene. I found evidence similar to what Auntie you saw in the chocolate box at that time."

Serabel said that she was going to show Fei Yingli the photo of the flower and the sword that she took on her phone.

But was temporarily rejected.

"Sorry, let's talk about this later. Sera-kun, can you help me up first?" Fei Yingli said a little embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, but do you need to sit up or get out of bed?"

"Get out of bed."

Seeing that Serabel still looked confused, Fei Yingli's cheeks turned redder.

"After lying in bed for so long, I want to go to the bathroom first."

"Oh……"

I understand now.

However, it is unrealistic for a person who just got off the operating table three hours ago to immediately recover to the point where he can walk upright and go to the toilet by himself, not to mention that Fei Yingli can barely even sit up now.

So Serabel's next behavior can be summarized in a format similar to "How many steps does it take to stuff an elephant into a refrigerator?"

The first step is to pick up Fei Yingli from the bed with a princess hug.

The second step was to carry Fei Yingli to the toilet in the integrated bathroom built in the ward.

The third step is to come out and close the door yourself.

Don't ask why you carry it with a princess instead of carrying it on your back. Just ask that it is more convenient to put it down like this. If you don't believe it, you can ask your partner to come over and practice it. If you can't find your partner, you can also find a rice bag instead. You will know after trying it. .

Serabel leaned against the wall outside the bathroom door and listened to the gurgling sound of water inside the door for almost 20 seconds. It seemed that she was really anxious.

About ten seconds passed, and with the sound of the toilet flushing in the bathroom, the bathroom door was pulled open from the inside.

Fei Yingli actually came out holding the edge of the sink by herself. Although she still looked a little reluctant, she had indeed recovered a lot.

"Ah ha~ You're a little surprised, aren't you? Even though aunt is now a civil servant, she also practiced judo when she was in school."

"Hmm... By the way, let me send a message to Miss Lan first to say it's safe."

"It's okay, I'll just make the call myself later."

Fei Yingli smiled and shook her head to stop Serabel.

"And compared to this, Sera-kun, you probably haven't had dinner yet. Why don't you go home and have dinner first? In this state, it's okay for Auntie to be here alone tonight."

"This... I'm afraid it won't work."

Serabel spread her hands.

"According to the police, this is most likely a serial killing incident. There is no guarantee that the prisoner will come back and kill again after finding out that he has not been killed. Since there are police personnel guarding the police department, there is a high probability that the prisoner will not be killed. You dare to go there, but Auntie, there is no security here, not even a double ward. Once a prisoner comes to the door, it will be dangerous, so at least I have to stay here tonight."

"As for dinner, let's order takeout."?

Chapter 238 But Uncle Maori failed to live up to expectations

People recovering from serious illness must eat a light diet. This is a common sense issue.

Although Fei Yingli's condition was not serious, she was still weak. In addition, she was not a big fish and meat person, so the main theme of the dinner was porridge.

In the single ward, there were two disposable lunch boxes on the small bedside table with their lids open. They were filled with seafood porridge and preserved egg and lean meat porridge respectively. They were all freshly cooked from the hospital cafeteria 10 minutes ago. The air-conditioned ward at 26 degrees Celsius was filled with white mist and heat.

"It's so hot..."

Fei Yingli just briefly tested the temperature of the lunch box with the back of her hand and gave up on eating it immediately.

If you eat it at this temperature, your oral mucosa may be burned off.

On the other side, Serabel was not in a hurry to start eating. He was still sitting on the square stool next to the bedside table, holding his cell phone with his head lowered to send a message to Conan.

It's interesting to say that Xiaolan and Zhenzumi went back more than three hours ago. Logically speaking, it wouldn't take long to get back to Miwa Town from here, only half an hour at most.

In other words, after Xiaolan left the hospital around four o'clock, she should return to the detective agency at almost four o'clock to take over Conan's care of Uncle Mouri.

But the fact is that Conan didn't reply until about a quarter of an hour ago, and the content only contained a simple line of text.

CONAN: What is this?

Serabel: Are you finally resurrected?

Conan: What do you mean I'm resurrected... I'm always alive, okay!

It was followed by a little crazy expression.

Sera Bell: Didn’t you, Miss Xiaolan, go back three hours ago? It took you so long to get back the message. Did you go drinking with Uncle Maori?

CONAN: ...You really want to know why?

Serabel: Tell me, I have plenty of time here.

Conan: (Sighing) Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the uncle woke up on his own during the short period of my absence, went to look for water in a daze, and ended up drinking the beer he forgot on the kitchen stove last night instead of water. I don’t know if it went bad or something, but I vomited and had diarrhea directly on the sofa, making the whole office a mess. It was only cleaned up just now. There is still a smell in the office, and Xiaolan is almost pissed off.

This is indeed a very flavorful description. Even if Serabel doesn't visit the scene in person, she can basically imagine the situation in the office at that time.

It can only be said that it's a good thing that he took the initiative to stay for Xiaolan, otherwise he might be the one who is taking care of Mouri Kogoro with Conan in the office now.

It's scary to think about.

CONAN: Forget it, if you don't talk about this, where are you now?

Sera Bell: Hospital.

CONAN: Are you with your aunt now? !

Sera Bell: Otherwise, someone has to look after him. No one can guarantee whether the prisoner will come back and shoot him.

Conan: Well... that's right, that's fine. And about the two photos you sent me before, I just found out something about them.

The communication between the two parties is very efficient. There is almost no situation where someone waits for a while to reply. Basically, Conan sends a message, and Serabel immediately reads it and starts writing a reply.

Fei Yingli, who was on the hospital bed, watched the young man's fingertips dancing rapidly on the screen of his mobile phone, and couldn't help but turn his head curiously.

"Who is Sera-kun sending a message to?"

"Well, it's about the serial murder case that you were involved in, Auntie." Serabel handed over the phone screen without hesitation, "I took photos of the evidence and asked Kudo Shinichi if he had any clues. "

What he directly said was Kudo Shinichi's name. Anyway, Kudo Shinichi also made a note to Conan on his friend's note, so he was not afraid of revealing his secret.

Fei Yingli nodded in awe: "It turns out that you detectives can also communicate with each other, just like us lawyers. Occasionally, when there is a particularly difficult defense, we will discuss how to deal with it."

"more or less……"

Serabel glanced at the phone screen and saw that Conan had already sent the follow-up content in the chat box.

Conan: The exhibits you photographed for me were a flower and a dagger. They looked familiar to me but I couldn't figure out where I saw them, so I tried using the photo search function of the shopping software. , and then discovered this.

Below the text, he also sent a screenshot, which is a screenshot of the product on the shopping software.

- Poker.

Sera Bell: Poker?How did you find this thing?

Conan: Nowadays, many new playing cards will change the images on the cards into various other styles in order to create patterns. However, in traditional playing cards, KING, the emperor K, holds such a short sword, and The queen is holding flowers.

Conan: By the way, the full name of the Mumu Police Department is Mumu Shisan, which corresponds to the fact that K is ranked No. 13 in poker, and the aunt's surname is Fei, which is queen in English, which means queen.

"I see, if this statement really makes sense." Fei Yingli turned sideways and looked at the chat content on the phone screen, gently pinching her chin, "But why is the prisoner targeting me?"

"I can't say, maybe it's forced."

Serabel shook her head.

"At present, it seems that this prisoner may really be killing people with corresponding numbers in their names according to the order of playing cards, and whether it is the Megure Police Department or your aunt, you have a relationship with Uncle Maori. I am not sure whether there is Targeted retaliation, but what is certain is that this prisoner is most likely an obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"OCD?"

Fei Yingli was rarely amused by this statement. She leaned sideways with the elbow of one hand on the bedside table and supported her chin with the heel of her palm. She smiled and the air flow from her mouth passed through her fingers and blew on the side of the boy's face.

Some itchy.

Sera Bell shrugged: "Only people with obsessive-compulsive disorder would use this arrangement method. It's too limiting. At least if you ask me to arrange all the people I know using numbers or English letters, I really can't do it. .”

"...I can't figure it out either." Fei Yingli thought seriously for a while and then gave up.

"But according to the prisoner's logic, after K and Q, it should be J. J is the abbreviation of Jack, which means knight... Now, Sirah, do you want to get someone whose name is related to Eleven or Knight?"

The young man's thoughts were interrupted by the voice of Fei Yingli beside him.

Serabel looked up at the beautiful face of the Queen next to her, and shook her head.

"I can't think of it, probably not."

"That's it."

……

The tragic news came the next day that Dr. Ali, a 52-year-old comrade, was attacked by gangsters with no martial ethics and was hit by an arrow in the buttocks. Fortunately, it was only a flesh wound.

A model of the same sword held by Jack of Spades among the playing cards deliberately left behind by the prisoner was found near the crime scene. ?

Chapter 239 I Will Leave Your Daughter To You

"Then, please just sign here."

When the sun shone through the ward at ten o'clock in the morning, the attending doctor who was responsible for the rescue yesterday was holding a list for Fei Yingli to sign next to the bed.

As mentioned yesterday, because the treatment was timely and appropriate, it did not cause any serious consequences, and there will be no sequelae. Basically, as long as nothing else happens after a night of observation, it will be fine.
