Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 642 The Bloody Bride! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"I'm sorry to bother you!"

However, before Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko started a new round of shooting, there was a hurried knock on the door, and then an emcee in formal attire pushed the door open. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he had obviously jogged all the way here.

"Ms. Matsumoto, Mr. Takasugi, the wedding ceremony is about to begin." The MC looked at his watch and said anxiously, "If you two are ready, please hurry to the ceremony venue!"

"Okay, we'll be there soon!"

Upon hearing this, Takasugi Toshihiko immediately turned to Sayuri Matsumoto, his voice gentle but a little hurried: "Sayuri, are you okay here..."

"It's okay if you go first, Junyan."

Matsumoto Yuriko took the bottle of lemon tea from Takasugi Toshihiko. She stroked the bottle with her fingertips and said in a gentle and calm voice, "Don't worry. I'll fix my wedding dress and come over soon."

Takasugi Toshihiko nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I will go to the ceremony venue with your students first."

"Um……"

Just as Takasugi Toshihiko turned around and was about to leave, Matsumoto Yuriko seemed to have noticed a subtle change, or perhaps had a premonition of something bad. She took a deep look at the figure of her fiancé, then held him, her eyes full of complicated emotions, and then whispered to him, "Toshihiko, you must treat Yimei well in the future, and don't always make her sad..."

After hearing this, Takasugi Toshihiko felt a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. He thought that Matsumoto Yuriko felt that the groom had a past with Takenaka Kazumi and felt guilty for stealing her best friend's love, so he wanted to make up for the hurt Takenaka Kazumi in this way. So he nodded gently and responded gently: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her..."

Afterwards, he left the bridal preparation room with everyone else.

In fact, even if Matsumoto Yuriko had not made such an instruction, he had already planned to "treat" Takenaka Kazumi well.

After all, if it weren't for his relationship with Takenaka Kazumi, how could he have approached Matsumoto Yuriko, the daughter of his enemy, so smoothly and implemented his long-planned revenge plan?

Even without considering other factors, just for this point, he felt that he "should" "express" his gratitude to the "kind-hearted person" Kazumi Takenaka.

Thinking of this, a hint of sinisterness flashed across his eyes, mixed with the excitement of revenge being about to be taken, but soon, this emotion was covered up by his perfect disguise...

Watching Takasugi Toshihiko and the others walk away, Matsumoto Yuriko slowly lowered her head and stared at the lemon tea in her hand with complicated eyes. The can of lemon tea shone with a metallic luster in the sun, and it seemed to have a strange temperature different from the room temperature.

"Toshihiko..."

After noticing this subtle change, her fingertips trembled slightly and she couldn't help but pull up a bitter arc at the corner of her mouth.

That smile showed reluctance to part with past memories, and self-mockery of the helpless reality of the present, but in the end, she still slowly passed the lemon tea to her lips...

Outside.

"Hey, how's the bride?"

Seeing Takasugi Toshihiko walking out of the room, the group of friends who had pushed him in with laughter immediately surrounded him like stars surrounding the moon, winking at him with teasing expressions on their faces.

Takasugi Toshihiko made an "OK" gesture to them with a proud look on his face, as if announcing to everyone that everything was under control.

"You boy, you are so good!"

Seeing this, his friends burst into hearty laughter, then one of them put his arm around his neck affectionately and surrounded him as they walked towards the ceremony venue.

"Boom..."

Conan shook his head after taking in the whole scene. Just as he was about to follow Mouri Ran and the others to the ceremony venue, suddenly, there was a crisp yet abrupt sound as if something had fallen heavily to the ground, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which instantly attracted his attention.

"What was that sound just now?"

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. They turned their heads subconsciously and looked at the bridal preparation room not far away. "It sounds like it's coming from the teacher's room."

For some reason, the moment they heard the strange noise, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in their hearts.

Bai Ye touched his chin and said, "I have a bad feeling..."

Mao Lilan's expression changed slightly, and she almost instinctively ran towards the direction of the bridal preparation room, "Oh no, could something have happened to Mr. Matsumoto?"

Suzuki Sonoko followed closely behind, shouting as she ran, "Wait for me! Xiaolan!"

Conan's heart also shuddered. With his keen intuition, he felt that something was wrong. Without thinking too much, he ran after him.

"Matsumoto-sensei...Sensei!"

The four of them rushed into the bridal preparation room almost at the same time. When they pushed open the door, the scene before them made them gasp.

Sayuri Matsumoto was lying on the ground, motionless, her snow-white wedding dress spread out lifelessly, like a withered flower. A trace of bright red seeped from the corner of her mouth, and the half-drunk bottle of lemon tea rolled to the side. The amber liquid was slowly seeping into the carpet, emitting a strange smell.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki looked at everything in front of them in horror, their faces full of disbelief.

"What...what's going on?"

Conan quickly scanned the room, his eyes sharp as an eagle, as if looking for any possible clues. When he noticed the suspicious bottle of lemon tea, his glasses reflected a cold light. At the same time, his mind was working rapidly, trying to connect everything that had just happened.

"Lemon tea...poisoned...Takasugi Toshihiko..."

The name of Takasugi Toshihiko suddenly flashed through Conan's mind, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Could all this be related to him?"

"Mr. Matsumoto..."

Mao Lilan screamed and rushed to Matsumoto Yuriko's side, trying to help her up, but was stopped by Bai Ye who was quick-witted and quick-handed as she stretched out her hand: "Xiao Lan, don't touch her! Miss Matsumoto might have been poisoned!"

Bai Ye glanced at the lemon tea spilled on the ground, sniffed the pungent smell in the air, and said solemnly: "And, if I'm not mistaken, the poison should be sodium hydroxide!"

"Brother Bai Ye is right, Aunt Matsumoto was poisoned!"

Conan agreed with Bai Ye's judgment. Because Sayuri Matsumoto's pale face, bleeding lips, and the lemon tea scattered on the ground all pointed to a terrible conclusion, that is, poisoning! The pungent smell in the air and the faint smell emanating from Sayuri Matsumoto further confirmed that the poison was most likely sodium hydroxide!

As soon as these words came out, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but scream out: "Poisoned? Who did it?"

Their voices trembled uncontrollably due to fear and anger.

Who on earth could be so cruel to do such a cruel thing to their teacher and try to kill her?
Moreover, they use highly corrosive and dangerous substances such as sodium hydroxide!

——Sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda, is not toxic in the traditional sense, but it is highly irritating and corrosive, and is an extremely dangerous chemical. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it may cause severe chemical burns, followed by local excruciating pain, redness, swelling, blisters, and even terrible symptoms such as tissue necrosis. If the eyes accidentally come into contact with sodium hydroxide, the consequences are even more disastrous, and it is likely to cause serious damage to the eyes or even permanent blindness. Even if it is only a small amount of contact, it must be properly handled immediately, otherwise it is very likely to cause irreversible permanent damage.

If inhaled accidentally, sodium hydroxide will mercilessly corrode and irritate the respiratory tract, especially the nasal mucosa, causing severe coughing and burning throat. If the concentration inhaled is too high, it may even cause pulmonary edema or chemical pneumonia, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

The consequences of ingesting sodium hydroxide are even more disastrous, as it can severely burn the digestive tract, causing vomiting, abdominal pain, internal bleeding, and even organ perforation. Even if you are lucky enough to be cured, you are likely to be left with lifelong sequelae such as esophageal stenosis.

They really couldn't imagine what kind of heartless person could be willing to use such a horrible thing on their own kind, gentle and amiable teacher.

"It's not clear who poisoned her yet." Bai Ye looked serious. He bent down, stretched out his hand, and carefully felt Yuriko Matsumoto's breath. He found that she was still breathing weakly, but obviously in a coma. "Fortunately, we found it in time. Miss Matsumoto is still breathing!"

At this point, he paused for a moment and added, "Sonoko, go call an ambulance right away, and make sure to find Matsumoto Kiyonaga and the others, and ask them to come over immediately."

"Ran, Conan, the two of you go and see where there is clean water, milk, vinegar, orange juice, and other things. Miss Matsumoto is in this condition now, and she must use these things to relieve it, otherwise it may be difficult for her to make it to the hospital."

Ingestion of sodium hydroxide is an extremely dangerous condition that may cause devastating burns to the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach. During treatment, a series of emergency measures must be taken immediately, including inducing vomiting to reduce the absorption of the poison; using weak acidic substances such as oral diluted vinegar and lemon juice to neutralize the corrosiveness of sodium hydroxide; using protein-rich substances such as milk and egg white to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa; and preventing infection and conducting symptomatic treatment.

However, given that Yuriko Matsumoto is now showing symptoms of coma or convulsions, inducing vomiting is not appropriate in this situation because it is very likely that vomitus will block the respiratory tract and cause suffocation.

Suzuki Sonoko reacted immediately. Her hands frantically fumbled for the phone in her pocket, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness: "Okay...Okay, I'll call right away!" After that, she hurriedly made the call while running out in a hurry to look for Matsumoto Kiyonaga and others.

Mao Lilan and Conan also did not dare to delay at all and quickly began to look around the room for the item that Bai Ye mentioned.

Mao Lilan's eyes swept across the table beside her and instantly locked onto a bottle of unopened mineral water. She picked it up without hesitation and shouted anxiously, "Bai Ye, I found some clean water!"

Conan bent over in front of a small refrigerator not far away and searched carefully. Soon, he luckily found a few boxes of milk and responded excitedly: "Sister Xiaolan, here is milk!"

As soon as the two got the things, they hurried back to Matsumoto Yuriko.

Bai Ye took the milk and water, carefully lifted up Yuriko Matsumoto's head, and said softly: "Ms. Matsumoto, in order to reduce the damage, it may be a little uncomfortable, but please hold on."

As he spoke, he first carefully fed Matsumoto Yuriko a small amount of water to slowly dilute the poison that might remain in her mouth and throat, and then very slowly fed her some milk to protect her fragile gastrointestinal mucosa...

"Ta Tata..."

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard, and Suzuki Sonoko rushed in with Matsumoto Kiyonaga and the protagonist of today's wedding - the groom Takasugi Toshihiko.

When Matsumoto Kiyonaga saw his daughter lying unconscious on the ground, his eyes were instantly filled with grief and anger. He hurried forward and gently held Sayuri's head on his strong arms. His voice was full of anxiety and worry, and he shouted repeatedly: "Sayuri, hold on, you must hold on!"

Suzuki Sonoko was standing by, her eyes slightly red, trying hard to hold back tears as she comforted Matsumoto Kiyonaga: "Uncle Matsumoto, the ambulance will be here in five minutes, the teacher will be fine."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't speak for a moment. He just stared at his daughter's bloodless face, his eyes full of heartache and self-blame.

Sure enough, not long after, the sharp and piercing sirens of ambulances and police cars were heard outside, interweaving together and breaking the originally quiet air.

The medical staff rushed in as quickly as the wind. They moved skillfully and quickly, and lifted Matsumoto Yuriko steadily onto the stretcher, and then hurried towards the ambulance.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga watched his daughter, who was wearing a blood-stained wedding dress, being taken to the ambulance. With a gloomy face, he slowly turned around and returned to the bride's room.

At this moment, he was trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart and trying to calm himself down.

However, although his face seemed calm, his shrinking pupils revealed the uncontrollable anger in his heart. Even the eye-catching scar on his left eye seemed a little distorted due to the fluctuation of emotions...
