"You're right. A murder almost happened here."
Late at night, Kuroba Kaito, disguised as a fat man, suddenly came to Hayashi Yoshiki.
Hayashi Yoshiki made a listening expression.
"After I heard what you said, I felt more and more suspicious, so I kept hiding in the dark and observed, and found that Tanaka Kikue was indeed planning to kill someone."
Kikue Tanaka is the granddaughter of magician Harui Fuden.
She inherited her grandfather's account "Deception Boy" and lurked in the chat room. She attended this party just for revenge.
It is said that Chunjing Furu died on the stage.
By chance, Tanaka Kikue found the speech her grandfather had originally planned to say after a successful performance: "I finally succeeded. I wonder what everyone thinks of this magic show? Signed: Deception Boy and Harui Fuden--"
This was nothing.
Tanaka Kikue didn't want revenge because of this incident, but she saw two netizens in the chat room making sarcastic remarks about her grandfather's death, saying that dying on stage was his long-cherished wish.
This made Kikue Tanaka feel very unwilling.
Because her grandfather obviously considered those people as friends, and he wanted to give them a surprise, so he decided to perform on stage...
"It's an irrational decision driven by emotion..." Hayashi Yoshiki smiled after hearing this, "So, did you make her change her mind, Kidd-san?"
"Ah, after all, she was just upset for a moment. It's you, a famous detective, who missed out on an opportunity to be in the newspapers."
"Then it's the same if I catch you here."
"Don't do it, bro!"
Doi Takeshu quickly raised his hands in surrender, and then said in a bit of a sly way: "But aren't you curious about the method of Tanaka Kikue's plan? I thought it was amazing when I knew about it. You really are the descendant of a magician."
"Really? Are there any clues?"
"ha....."
Although he did not set the questions, he was quite enthusiastic about the opportunity to embarrass the famous detective Kuroba Kaito, who had made him lose face many times, so he told him some of the arrangements made by Tanaka Kikue.
Hayashi Yoshiki was silent for a few seconds.
Kuroba Kaito grinned, and just when he was about to say that he would give the other party a night to think about it, he saw Hayashi Yoshiki's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice became lighter: "I see, what she wanted to do was to commit the impossible crime of dumping the body outside the villa without leaving any footprints? It is indeed an interesting method."
"How disgusting!"
"Um?"
"What's wrong with your brain? You're moving so fast that it makes me feel a little sick!" Doi Takeshu pointed at Hayashi Yoshiki's smiling face with a look of disgust.
"You are a bit arrogant..."
"I'm sorry, brother. I was too jumpy."
Hayashi Yoshiki ignored him who was showing off.
He was just thinking that if he used the Death Note to control Tanaka Kikue to kill people, Kuroba Kaito would probably doubt his life in the future.
But he wouldn't do such a boring thing.
Hayashi Yoshiki returned to the room.
--No case will happen today. Spend this night peacefully and leave tomorrow.
When he returned to the room thinking this, he saw Haibara Ai lying on the bed, covered tightly with the quilt, breathing with difficulty.
Her face was extremely red.
"What's wrong?"
Because something was wrong, Hayashi Yoshiki hurried over and touched her forehead.
Very hot...
Haibara Ai just breathed hard without even opening her eyes.
Hayashi Yoshiki went downstairs without saying a word.
It was already quite late at this time, and Sonoko and Xiaolan had already gone back to their rooms to rest. Only two men named Ara Yoshinori and Hamano Toshiya were left in the living room downstairs, watching TV and drinking.
"What's wrong, Mr. Lin?"
"Sorry to bother you, but the child who came with me seems to be feeling a little unwell. Do you have any thermometers or medicines here?"
"Ah, yes!"
Araki Yoshizawa quickly stood up. He was a very enthusiastic and kind man. "Is the situation serious? Because I sometimes bring my family and children here for vacation, so I prepared some commonly used medicines... Oh! I found it. Please take this medicine box first."
Hayashi Yoshiki thanked him and then went back upstairs carrying the medicine box.
He found a thermometer and asked Huibara to take its temperature.
Haibara Ai probably had a serious fever. She opened her eyes in a daze and obediently clamped the thermometer under her armpit.
Hayashi Yoshiki took it out a few minutes later and found that the temperature was already 39.7 degrees... a very high fever.
Conan, who had a cold, did not come, but Haibara Ai had a fever here.
"Are you okay? Are you feeling dizzy now?"
".....faint"
Haibara Ai's upper and lower lips moved, and Hayashi Yoshiki could only hear her response with great difficulty.
Hayashi Yoshiki put down the thermometer and began to look for medicine in the medicine box.
But he tossed and turned and found that although there were many medicines in the medicine box, there was only one kind of antipyretic - children's antipyretic suppository, which is the kind of antipyretic that needs to be inserted into the buttocks and absorbed through the rectum.
"..."
Hayashi Yoshiki glanced at Huibara Ai who was lying there, gasping for breath.
"There's good news and bad news."
"....."
"The good news is there's fever-reducing medicine here, but the bad news is it's a suppository."
"..."
Of course, Haibara Ai understood what a suppository was, and her little face, which was flushed due to the fever, seemed to become even redder.
"How are you now, can you use it yourself?"
"..good"
She answered with great effort.
So Hayashi Yoshiki helped her open the suppository and put it in her hand that she had stretched out of the quilt with great effort.
After that, he avoided leaving the room.
However, when Haibara Ai wanted to turn over a little while lying on the bed, she felt groggy all over, and felt dizzy as soon as she moved her head... She squeezed the suppository in her hand tightly and turned sideways with difficulty. The dizziness even made her want to vomit.
Hayashi Yoshiki waited outside the door for several minutes.
After he went in, he saw Huibara Ai lying on her side. The quilt that was originally covering her was lifted up, revealing most of her body, and the suppository was still in her hand, unused.
He quickly walked forward and covered her with the quilt again.
"I'll go get Xiaolan to help you with the medicine."
"...no"
Haibara Ai has a very strong self-esteem.
Although she has become a child, she seems to always treat herself as if she has not become a child yet... She finds it difficult to accept the humiliation of being drugged by girls of the same age.
"What else do you want to do?"
".....I can do it myself," she said with difficulty.
"Are you sure you can?"
"...or it doesn't matter if you don't."
"..."
Hearing this, Hayashi Yoshiki simply walked over and closed the door, then turned around and walked towards Huihara Ai.
He directly took the medicine from her hand and lifted the quilt.
At that moment, Huibara Ai was a little panicked.
"What Cointreau are you going to make?"
