Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

The two went to Murakami's house and got similar news. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Murakami had a good impression of Qiuyue Porcelain.

"It is said that he is a very quiet child who likes cleanliness. I know my child well. He does have some minor problems with his living habits. However, Qiu Yi is also a very introverted person, so there shouldn't be too many conflicts."

"Qiu Yi didn't say anything bad about Qiu Yueci. He just said that their work and rest schedules didn't match."

The two expressed their understanding.

Lin Xiaochen asked with a sudden thought: "Do you know Murakami Jiro?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have any relatives with the last name Murakami in my family," said Mrs. Murakami.

The two said goodbye.

When he returned to the police station, it was already dusk. Lin Xiaochen was about to go back to his apartment to rest. Uehara Yui and Yamato Gansuke were not on duty, so they also went back first. Lin Xiaochen sorted out the information and was about to say goodbye to Zhufu Gaoming who was on duty, but he received a call from Akizuki Michiyo.

"Is this Officer Lin? Xiaoci suddenly vomited non-stop. Was she also poisoned? Can you come to Nagano Hospital?"

On the other end of the line was Akizuki Michiyo's anxious voice, her voice unconsciously rising, "The doctor said the situation is very bad..."

"I'll be there soon, don't worry!" Lin Xiaochen grabbed his coat, "Officer Zhu Fu, can you lend me your car? Qiu Yueci also has similar symptoms, I need to go to the hospital right away."

"of course can."

Zhu Fugaoming simply took off the key and handed it to Lin Xiaochen.

Lin Xiaochen rushed out of the police station like a flash and drove all the way to the hospital.

He got out of the car and looked around the doors of several emergency rooms, and finally found Akizuki Michiyo, who was holding hands and pacing back and forth.

Akizuki Michiyo was still dressed the same way as when she met him in the morning, but her hair was a little messy. There was a large dark water stain on her burgundy sweater, and there were faint drops of water hanging on her hands, which must have been from a temporary treatment.

Seeing Lin Xiaochen coming, Akizuki Michiyo's frown did not relax at all.

Lin Xiaochen stepped forward and said, "Are you okay? Don't worry too much. Miss Qiuyue will be fine."

Michiyo Akizuki glanced at the lit sign in the operating room and took a deep breath.

"Calm down and tell me what happened, okay?" Lin Xiaochen handed the hot coffee he had just bought near the hospital to Akizuki Michiyo. "Please sit down first. Miss Akizuki will feel bad if she sees you suffer."

He helped Akizuki Michiyo sit on the cold chair, and then sat down himself.

"After the two of you left, I talked to her about school matters. We didn't eat anything else during the meal. We had steamed fish and stir-fried cabbage for dinner. I wasn't very hungry, so I only cooked for her." Akizuki Michiyo began to recall.

"She didn't have a good appetite at the time and only ate a little bit. Not long after she finished eating, she said she felt nauseous and started vomiting before I could react. I hurriedly called an ambulance, but the doctor told me that her condition was not good when he arrived."

"I was thinking of her roommates, so I called you over."

"Besides eating, is it possible that you accidentally touched something that caused allergies?"

"I don't know either." Akizuki Michiyo said miserably, "She has too many allergens. It's very likely that she started to feel uncomfortable all of a sudden. So this time I also thought it was an allergy at first."

"If... it's really the same as the three victims, then she was poisoned." Lin Xiaochen did not choose to hide it, "Do you think she had a chance to come into contact with poison?"

"It's impossible at home. We're afraid she might have an allergic reaction. We don't use any camphor scents at home, and all the supplies have been used for a long time. The food she eats is also what she liked in the past..." Akizuki Michiyo frowned, "Could it be at school? Xiaoci said she had red spots on her face when she woke up this morning, so she took loratadine tablets."

"I will contact my colleagues to investigate right away, don't worry too much." Lin Xiaochen nodded at her and gave her a reassuring look. Then, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhu Fu Gaoming who stayed at the police station.

The two sat in silence.

There were the sounds of hurried footsteps approaching, Akizuki Michiyo and Lin Xiaochen looked up at the same time, and saw a middle-aged man in a suit.

At this moment, his forehead was covered with sweat and he was breathing heavily. The moment he saw Akizuki Michiyo, he relaxed a little and walked over.

"Michiyo, how is Xiaoci?"

"They're still trying to save him." Akizuki Michiyo said unhappily, "The doctor said the situation is not good." Then she turned her head away and refused to speak again.

Mr. Akizuki frowned, "Michiyo."

"Don't talk. I don't want to listen now." Akizuki Michiyo was displeased.

Lin Xiaochen was keenly aware of the tense and subtle atmosphere between the two.

He walked up to Mr. Qiuyue without hesitation and quickly took out his police ID to identify himself: "Hello, Mr. Qiuyue, I am Lin Xiaochen. Can I spare some of your time so we can talk about Miss Qiuyue?"

Mr. Qiuyue raised his head, looked at Lin Xiaochen, nodded slightly to show his agreement, and silently stood up and walked to the chair on the other side and sat down.

"Don't you go home often?" Lin Xiaochen asked cautiously, while observing the other party's reaction.

"Well, business has been busy lately, so I've been staying out of town." The man answered casually.

"Starting a business is indeed not easy. I have had similar ideas before. I believe you must have accumulated a lot of valuable experience in this area." Lin Xiaochen continued to ask, with anticipation in his eyes.

Hearing this, Mr. Qiuyue showed a hint of surprise on his face, but soon regained his composure. He seemed to have not expected Lin Xiaochen to be interested in this topic. After a little thought, he said, "Actually, I don't have any experience. If you are willing to listen, I can share some with you."

"That's great!" Lin Xiaochen said sincerely. Then the two of them started discussing starting a business.

Akizuki Michiyo looked at them coldly, then turned her gaze back to the door of the emergency room, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. Her eyes were firm and focused, staring at the closed door motionlessly, as if she wanted to see through it to see the current situation of her beloved daughter.

Time passed by, and she never looked away.

At three o'clock in the morning, the door of the emergency room was finally reopened.

Akizuki Michiyo stood up suddenly, her eyes following the pale faces surrounded by white coats: "Nene, Nene?"

The nurse hurriedly pushed the person away, leaving a doctor behind to explain: "The patient's condition is not yet stable and needs to be taken to the ICU for observation. Madam, please be patient."

"Is she okay? When will she wake up?" Akizuki Michiyo asked anxiously.

The doctor replied: "Most of the toxins have been cleared, but whether and when the patient can wake up depends on his willpower."

So life and death are left to fate?

The color drained away from Akizuki Michiyo's face in an instant when she heard that.
