Will the bite of this venomous snake leave any sequelae and affect her daily life?

Respiratory failure or organ failure, either one of them would cause her lifelong pain.

When Takako Toda really suffers continuous harm because of this, will the generous forgiveness she once showed become an abscess that cannot be squeezed, giving rise to new sins at some point?

On the other hand, will the sister who has not been punished continue to do the same thing with impunity because she once attempted murder and was forgiven?

In the story that was left blank and ended abruptly, there was no future for her.

As an astrologer, Maria Toda actually has no ability to predict the future. This is just her worst guess.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. Please write down the question you want to be divined most."

Follow Maria's instructions to write down the questions and focus on -

Looking at the 78 tarot cards in front of him, Kuroba Kurian was silent for a moment before he asked very tactfully, "Can you please choose a card for me?"

"No problem at all."

……

Just as Li An said, tonight is indeed a sleepless night——

Because someone fell into eternal sleep tonight.

"She's dead." Maori Kogoro carefully lifted up Miss Madonna's blood-soaked bangs and carefully observed the wound on her head. "There is a bullet mark on her temple, and her right hand is holding a gun."

He lowered his head and stared at Yumi Horikoshi's seemingly stiff fingers and the scratches on the gun in her hand, then looked up to see the dried blood exploding on the wall.

It was a full half minute before Kogoro spoke again: "This gun is a Smith & Wesson M439. It was the gun in the hands of a bank kidnapper I was chasing before."

"Yumi was also at the scene that day. If Yumi had intended to do this from the beginning... that's why she took the gun away—"

"That is to say, she had already planned to commit suicide at the class reunion."

If he had not been accidentally injured, could he have led the police to find the gun in time, and the current incident would not have happened?

Kogoro Maori closed his eyes tiredly.

I heard several people's disbelieving voices behind me, almost crying.

"How could this happen?" "Why is this happening?" "Yumi..."

The only police officer present immediately denied it.

"No! It's too early to draw conclusions now. Let's wait until the police arrive. I've already asked Xiaolan to call the police."

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri stood up straight, covering his clenched fists with his wide sleeves, and his eyes scanned every person behind the door.

"Alright."

On the other side, Ran Mouri, who was asked by Nakamichi Kazushi to call the police, quickly returned to her room and dialed the police number skillfully.

The police told her that it would take them at least two hours to arrive because of the fireworks celebration.

She immediately called the ambulance again, but got almost the same response.

After returning to Aunt Yumi's room and telling her father that neither the police car nor the ambulance could arrive in time, her next call was to Conan.

No one heard.

Call Sister Li An.

Still busy.

The cold phone notification tone indicated that she would not get any response from the other party this time, which made Mao Lilan a little anxious.

But she quickly remembered the message from Sister Li An that she saw this morning.

According to the time, the message should have been sent at around 9pm, but it was not sent to her mobile phone until the early hours of this morning.

The content is also very simple - the signal on the mountain over there seems to be not very good, and we may not be able to get in touch.

Mao Lilan took the robe that her father took off for the convenience of autopsy, and tightened her other hand holding the phone.

The purple sea cucumber pendant hanging on it swayed back and forth with a sad face.

——This was bought for her by Kudo Shinichi when they went to the aquarium.

She suddenly realized that no one would come to help, at least in the bustling Benkei Hotel.

No one will always be there to help.

……

Li An did not receive Xiaolan's call. She stayed in Maria's room for a long time.

When Xiaolan was on the phone, she was probably doing fortune-telling.

But now, her divination time has ended, and the lights in the house have been turned on again. At this time, Li An is chatting with Ms. Maria about the topic that was not finished before.

Maria is a person with rich experience. Because of her profession of astrology and tarot, she has come into contact with all kinds of people. She has also answered questions and solved doubts for many people through divination and astrology.

The thing she often says is that her astrology is not accurate, but she still has some fame in her own circle.

Of course, she couldn't talk to Li An in detail about other people's confusion and troubles, but she could still tell her a lot of things, which also made Li An gain a lot.

"For example, the playing cards commonly used by magicians are also related to the tarot cards used in Western divination..."

"I have a vague idea." Li An took out the deck of cards he had just used from his pocket, "but I don't know the specific correspondence."

Maria smiled at her and said, "It's okay. Ms. Li An, which card do you prefer to use?"

After Li An shuffled the cards neatly, he handed the fan-shaped cards in his hand to Maria.

The other party carefully observed Li An's movements, but could not see anything.

So in the end she just picked a card at random.

Flip the front side.

This is a Queen card holding a rose, the same card that Kaito gave to Kurian on the Sallybeth.

"Queen of Clubs?"

"Ah."

Maria nodded, returned the card to Li An, and slowly spread out the tarot cards in her hand on the tablecloth.

"The Queen of Clubs is represented by Argine in poker. The word comes from the Latin word 'Regina', which is a combination of 'queen'." Although Li An doesn't know much about Tarot, he knows the meaning of poker like the back of his hand. "In the image of poker, Queen Argine represents peace. She is a symbol of reconciliation between the English and Rose Wars."

Maria remembered that this character seemed to have another meaning.

The 12 characters of J, Q, and K in poker cards are almost all from real prototypes and myths and legends, only Ajinni is a fictional character reconstructed by word displacement. So "Ajinni" in poker also has another meaning -

Someone who doesn't exist.

Maria seemed to realize something, but she said nothing. She quickly drew a card from the 56 cards of the Minor Arcana, carefully gathered the other cards, and placed only this card in the center of the hexagram.

In the desert, a woman in golden clothes and a leaf crown sits on a throne with lions as armrests, holding a scepter and a sunflower, with a squatting black cat guarding in front of her.

"In the Tarot, the Queen of Clubs corresponds to the thirteenth card of Wands in the Minor Arcana - the Queen of Wands."

"Water belongs to fire among the four elements. Action is better than thinking. Sensibility and rationality coexist."

"She achieved success through inner strength, she is independent and confident, lonely and rebellious, mature and stable, and quiet and at ease."

Ms. Maria slowly analyzed the contents of the card, and finally whispered: "If this is the case..."

"Ms. Kuroba, I'll give you a divination phrase."

Li An listened attentively.
