In the empty animal shed next to it, a middle-aged man was holding a broom in one hand. He seemed to be cleaning the house before. The beard on his face was not shaved very well. He looked like a carefree man. When he saw Kosugi Mi smiled and looked at him awkwardly, he also
He complained nonchalantly, "Isn't it? Although he saved the zoo, and I am very grateful to him, but that guy is too pushy, and always lets the media publicize it without permission, and even the channels for introducing animals are not
It's up to him to decide, and he won't listen to other people's opinions at all. We don't even know where those animals come from..."
Conan looked at the middle-aged man and mentally classified this man as 'a person who is unlikely to be an accomplice and can easily be tricked into telling the truth'. He asked for personal information, "Is uncle also a breeder here?"
"Yes," Mixiao Kosugi introduced, "This is Mr. Horita..."
"I am a breeder responsible for raising large animals," the middle-aged man deliberately showed a ferocious look, glaring at the five children to scare them, "They are very aggressive animals like bears and lions!"
"Hey -" Ayumi's eyes lit up, and she turned to communicate with her friends, "Is it a big bear like Jubei?"
"It feels very powerful," Genta exclaimed, "You have to move a lot of food at one time, right? Uncle Horita must be very strong!"
Horita was a little embarrassed, "Actually, it's not like we moved there all at once..."
"And there are lions," Ayumi said with a smile, "Mr. Horita is so lucky to be able to come into contact with so many animals!"
Horita saw that some of the five children were smiling, some were calm, none of them were frightened, and some showed a lack of interest. He looked at Chi Feichi in a white coat and Nanatsuki in overalls, and asked doubtfully, "
Meixiao, why did you bring some children to the work area? Also, is there a new doctor at the animal hospital here?"
"No," Kosugi Mixiao said with a smile, "This is Master Fei Chi who had promised to come here to visit. He brought these children to visit the zoo..."
"But Mr. Chi is indeed an animal doctor." The young man in a white coat came out of the next room, smiling politely, and looked at Chi Feichi with a little admiration in his eyes, "Compared to me who graduated in a hazy way.
From a human perspective, Mr. Chi is a talented graduate from the Department of Animal Medicine. I heard from friends who work at the Zhenchi Pet Hospital that Mr. Chi’s performance in all aspects of school was excellent. Even when he first entered the Zhenchi Pet Hospital, he was very
He didn’t have stage fright at all when it came to surgery, he performed equally well, and later became the designated doctor for giant panda Tuanzi!”
"This is Dr. Kumada from our animal hospital," Mixiao Kosugi introduced to a group of people. "He is also a graduate of the Department of Veterinary Medicine at Toto University. After graduation, he went to the Mihua Zoo. All the sick animals here are thanks to his help to take care of them.
.”
Xiong Tian scratched his head in embarrassment, "To be honest, I only learned how to treat animals like cats, dogs, and cows in school. When it comes to special animals like lions and bears, I really can't figure it out. I have to deal with it every day.
Learn from failure.”
Conan continued to divide things in his mind.
If the organs of a dead animal are sold privately during the autopsy process, Dr. Xiongtian is likely to be an accomplice and someone who needs to be observed and tested.
Of course, there may be more than one doctor here, and the director may not let Dr. Xiongtian stare at the remains of deceased animals all the time. Therefore, it cannot be concluded with absolute certainty that Dr. Xiongtian is an accomplice.
"Since everyone is here to visit, would you like to go to my office first?" Xiongtian invited enthusiastically, "I have a loris and a sugar glider here, both are very cute little animals."
The three children immediately agreed happily.
Seeing that there was no objection from others, Kosugi Meixiao took a group of people to the office of the animal hospital first.
There were two cages placed on the table against the wall of the office, one of which was covered with cloth, and the other cage contained a small loris monkey. When he saw someone entering the door, his short-haired body jumped over the soft cushions. A pair of big and smart eyes looked at Chi Feichi curiously as he entered, his front paws stretched out from the cage railing and waved.
"So cute!" Ayumi immediately stepped forward.
Haiyuan Ai looked at the cute behavior of the loris and couldn't help but follow Guangyan, Yuantai stepped forward.
"Don't touch it casually," Xiongtian reminded with a smile. "Although it has a gentle personality, you must be careful when it is frightened. Small animals that are frightened are easy to get sick, and they may also make some counterattacks because of fright. Now, do you want to try feeding it something?"
"Okay," Mitsuhiko asked hurriedly, "Are you feeding me bananas?"
Hui Yuan Ai recalled.
She remembered that the food of the loris seemed to be...
"It's a cricket," Kumada good-naturedly grabbed a live cricket from the fine mesh cage next to it, walked up to the loris, saw Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko with dull expressions, and said with a smile, "its original breeder She is a young woman. Because she doesn’t like crickets, she keeps feeding the little loris bananas, which makes it a little malnourished, so she was temporarily sent to me to take care of it.”
Under Xiong Tian's guidance, Genta endured the rustling and struggling feeling of the cricket in his hands and tried to pass the cricket to the cage railing.
The little loris reached out and grabbed the cricket, waving happily and handing it to Chi Feichi.
"Huh?" Yuantai looked at the waving hand of the loris, and then looked at Chi Feichi.
Guangyan looked at Chi Feichi uncertainly, "It means..."
"I won't eat it," Chi Feichi looked at the loris and said, "You can eat it yourself."
"Hey..." The loris hesitated for a moment, then stuffed the cricket into its mouth and ate it, then called out to Chi Feichi again.
The cry reached Chi Feichi's ears, and the meaning expressed was a bit vague, probably just 'delicious food'...
"It's so polite." Mitsuhiko was dumbfounded.
"Just like dumplings," Ayumi said with a smile, "very good to Brother Chi!"
Hui Yuan Ai smiled, with a hint of pride in the corners of his raised lips, "It makes me a little jealous."
"If you want to say that I'm jealous, I should be the one..."
Xiongtian murmured in a low voice, becoming another feeder with a sore heart.
He has been taking care of the loris for a while, and the little guy has never given him food once.
Ayumi smiled and said, "I can't help it, Brother Chi has always been very popular with animals!"
Yuantai looked at the loris that had eaten the crickets and asked, "But are crickets delicious?"
Fei Chi probed and stared at the small cage containing the crickets.
Yes, are crickets delicious?
Koshizui Nanatsuki hesitated for a moment, then reached out and handed the cricket that Kumada had just handed her to Fei Chi, "It shouldn't matter if Fei Chi eats one, right?"
Chi Feichi watched Feichi swish his head and swallow the cricket, "It's okay to eat crickets, but... don't spoil it like that."
Koshimi Nanatsuki just smiled.
She discovered the joy of feeding: she found that Fei Chi was greedy and wanted to eat - fed her - thinking that Fei Chi would be very satisfied - Fei Chi was happy and she was happy.
"It doesn't taste good." After Fei Chi swallowed the cricket, he shrank back and commented, "It's a bit itchy when the legs slide across the esophagus... Oops, it seems to be dead and motionless..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
He's not interested in the idea of 'eating crickets alive', thank you.
Mixiao Kosugi noticed that Kumada was watching Feichi crawl out and then retract, and explained, "This is Mr. Chi's pet snake, it doesn't bite."
Conan: "..."
No, his tragic experience told him that Chi Feichi should pay attention to his words when speaking, as he would not bite people in general.
But they seem to be here to investigate, right?
Looking at these three children, they almost forgot about playing.
In the cage next to it that was mostly covered with cloth, the little animals inside couldn't stay any longer and stretched out their little paws towards the gap in the cage.
In the cage, the sugar glider looks like a small blue-gray squirrel, and its ears are more pointed and upturned than the squirrel. It has long black stripes extending from the top of its head to its back, a big tail trailing behind it, and a membrane that can grow between its front and rear limbs.
The link is used to glide in the air, but this sugar glider seems to be in a bad mood, lying limply on a branch.
"Is this a sugar glider?"
The three children came over curiously, and after seeing that the sugar glider was not feeling well, they lowered their voices.
"Is it sick?"
"Looks very lethargic."
"Sugar gliders are also called Australian flying kangaroos. They sleep in dark nests during the day and come out at night. They have pockets like kangaroos. The baby sugar gliders will stay in their mother's pockets for about a month to grow, and although they grow up like monkeys
It doesn't look like it, but it has fingerprints like a monkey and can grab things." Conan was addicted to popular science, and put aside the investigation in advance, and walked forward to look at the sugar glider in the cage, "But the sugar glider seems
Just like children, if the temperature is unstable when the seasons change, they will get some minor illnesses. At the same time, you must pay attention to environmental and food hygiene."
"Yes, kid, you know so much," Xiong Tian praised with a smile, then looked at Chi Feichi, revealing his own little purpose, "but the temperature has been stable recently, and he was in the zoo with his companions before he fell ill.
Simulating life in the jungle, I have checked the environmental sanitation and food hygiene, and there are no problems, and the other sugar gliders are not sick, only it..."
There were not many doctors who could treat sugar gliders. As he watched the little one wilt day by day, he wanted to drag them over to see any animal doctor he saw.
He urgently needed someone to discuss the sugar glider's condition.
Chi Feichi leaned over to look at Lian and his sugar glider, observing the body details of the sugar glider and asked, "Is it possible that it is innately weak?"
"Probably not," Xiongtian recalled, "I went to see it after it was born. The batch of sugar glider cubs were all in good health, and so was it..."
The two began to discuss the condition of the sugar glider, and the five children and Nanatsuki Koshimizu also participated in the analysis with concern.
Chi Feichi also put on gloves, took the sugar glider out of the cage, and carefully checked its physical condition.
Xiaosugi Mixiao saw that Chi Feichi was obsessed with seeing a doctor, and the others had no intention of continuing to visit. She calculated the time and found that Director Tanigawa had probably finished his speech, and suggested that she go talk to Director Tanigawa first.
When Conan heard the name "Tani Chuan", he was distracted for a moment. When he saw Chi Feichi's serious look as though he was suffering from an occupational disease, he couldn't help but continue his analysis.
The environment is clean and hygienic, the temperature is stable, there are no congenital deficiencies, no trauma, and the other sugar gliders living together are not sick, but this sugar glider is sick...
It's worth studying.
Now in this zoo, any abnormality may be related to smuggling clues.
"Although sugar gliders don't eat randomly," Chi Feichi lowered his eyes and looked at the little paws of the sugar glider in his hand, "but it looks like it was poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Xiongtian said in shock, "But raising poisonous animals requires a permit. We don't have animals with dangerous toxins in the zoo."
