Sodium Hydroxide Poisoning

Just as Sayuri pulled out the straw and was about to remove the bow, Ran, who was filming nearby, suddenly shouted, "Oh no! The DV camera seems to be running out of power!"

"There seems to be an electronics store nearby. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back!"

With that, Ran placed the DV camera on the stool next to Xiaobaihe Mountain and ran out.

"What?!"

Sonoko grumbled, placed her lemon tea next to Sayuri Matsumoto's lemon tea, and chased after her.

'Seriously, don't they even check the battery level before leaving the house?'

Conan watched the two girls run away, secretly chuckling to himself.

"I knew it! You look a lot like Kudo Shinichi, kid."

Just as Conan was secretly rubbing his eyes, Sayuri suddenly squatted down and took off Conan's glasses, saying with a sigh.

With a sigh, she reached out and playfully pinched Conan's cheek. After that, Sayuri began to explain, "Because, Kudo Shinichi really looks like my first love."

Then, Sayuri Matsumoto began to recount her past.

Long ago, she actually had a childhood sweetheart, though it was only a fleeting relationship, but that boy had already deeply captured her heart.

Whenever she was bullied, that child would come to her rescue and even steal lemon tea from his family's shop for her to drink.

That's why she's still drinking lemon tea, this 'junk drink'.

Because, according to Xiaobaihe, whenever she drinks this beverage, she feels an overwhelming surge of courage within her.

Then, she picked up one of the two cans of lemon tea that were on the table, the one that Sonoko had carelessly placed on the table earlier.

Just as Conan and Fujino were about to ask about what happened next, a commotion broke out, and a somewhat simple-minded man in a white suit was pushed in.

The man in the white suit is named Toshihiko, Takasugi Toshihiko.

Upon entering the preparation room, Takasugi Toshihiko immediately spotted the lemon tea in Sayuri's hand. He snatched it away, turned around, and complained, "Why are you still drinking this cheap stuff?"

Listening to Takasugi Toshihiko's complaints, Sayuri Matsumoto, standing next to Fujino and Conan, gradually lowered her guard...

It seems I saw something I shouldn't have seen.

Whether something is cheap or not should depend on one's perspective.

At this moment, Fujino suddenly said meaningfully, "Some lemon teas, just by changing the cup, become extraordinary, but in essence, the taste is no different from canned lemon tea. I don't know what they're so noble about."

What do you mean?

Takasugi Toshihiko, who had turned around, frowned upon hearing this and looked at Fujino.

Because he was the heir of the Takasugi family, he was not actually their biological son, but was adopted from an ordinary family.

So that last sentence sounded rather harsh.

"It's nothing, I was just talking about lemon tea."

Fujino picked up his oolong tea and took a sip.

"Ah! Aren't you the heir to the Takasugi Zaibatsu?"

Just then, Sonoko and Ran returned. Ran was carrying a shopping bag containing snacks she had bought for Conan, as well as batteries for the video recorder.

"Sonoko, do you know that person?"

Ran seemed somewhat surprised.

"Of course we know each other, we often meet at banquets."

Sonoko then whispered to Ran, "Him? He's indecisive and unreliable. Everyone in our circle is saying that the Takasugi family was ruined by this guy..."

Before Sonoko could finish speaking, a splashing sound came from the side.

Turning around, I saw that the two of them were already kissing.

"With a teacher around, there shouldn't be any problem..."

"Yes..."

Seeing the two kissing, Conan, Sonoko, Ran all blushed shyly.

Fujino, however, behaved differently from the others. He narrowed his eyes and watched the two kissing silently.

"The wedding time is almost here."

Just then, the emcee outside the door suddenly ran over to inform them that just as they were about to leave, they heard Sayuri Matsumoto say to Takasugi Toshihiko, "It's okay if you go first," and then she stayed in the lounge.

A moment later.

"I have some things I want to say to Ms. Sayuri."

As soon as he stepped outside, Fujino called out to the others and hurried back.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Sayuri Matsumoto drink lemon tea and then collapse to the ground with a "thud".

Are you alright?

Fujino stepped forward and helped Sayuri Matsumoto up.

"Fujino..."

Sayuri Matsumoto had just responded when she coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.

He watched as blood dripped from his fingertips, staining his sleeves red.

Fujino's expression gradually turned serious.

He lowered his head and frowned, then took out a large bottle of vinegar from his Pocket Dimension and poured it into Sayuri Matsumoto's mouth.

The aluminum can on the ground had been partially corroded, but the plastic tube was unharmed, and there were slight traces of blood.

Sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda, is a strongly alkaline chemical substance.

Ordinary food-grade caustic soda, in small doses, will not cause serious harm to the human body.

Two grams of industrial-grade caustic soda can be fatal.

After finishing a bottle of vinegar, Fujino felt it wasn't enough, so he took out a bucket of pure milk from his Pocket Dimension, pried open the bottle, and continued to pour it in.

If basic medical knowledge is correct, strong alkaline chemicals can burn the esophagus and stomach after accidental ingestion.

Because Sayuri Matsumoto was ingesting the food through a straw, the strong alkali did not cause corrosion in her mouth, but instead went directly into her stomach through her esophagus, leading to sudden vomiting of blood and shock.

At this point, a large amount of acidic substance needs to be poured into the mouth of the patient who has accidentally ingested it to neutralize it. Then, a protective esophagus and stomach lining containing protein is taken to significantly reduce the toxicity of caustic soda before it is absorbed.

As the system's voice came to his ears, Fujino reached out and checked Sayuri Matsumoto's breath.

Seeing that his breathing and pulse were much more stable than before, Fujino breathed a sigh of relief.

"Suicide is such a hassle."

He plopped down on the carpet behind him.

In this way, Sayuri Matsumoto should not suffer too much pain.

With enhanced rescue efforts, it's possible that even the original sound could be preserved.

Before coming here, Fujino had already made ample preparations based on his memories from his previous life.

Today, even if it were cyanide poisoning, let alone caustic soda poisoning, Fujino is confident he can pull her back from the brink of death.

It is common knowledge that no one can take someone away when Bruce Tenn is fully prepared.

Even if Death comes, you'll get slapped twice, then leave your scythe behind and roll it back to the underworld.
