Chapter 1010: He'll Take the Blame for This
Downstairs, Enoe Tatsue lay motionless in front of the old refrigerator, bright red blood spreading out from under her head, quickly reaching the flower pot fragments beside her, seeping into the scattered soil on the ground, and also staining the pink flower plant that had fallen to the side with the soil.
After the Young Woman on the Fifth Floor recovered, she reopened the Window, her hands trembling as she pulled up the fishing line that had been lowered and the lottery ticket on the line, retrieving them back into the Room.
More than ten minutes later, the sky brightened considerably.
A Young Man wearing glasses, dressed in a suit and tie, and carrying a briefcase, who lived in the Apartment Building, went Downstairs, preparing for another day of 'office worker' life, but as soon as he walked out of the Apartment Entrance, he saw the Corpse beside the Entrance, lying in front of the old refrigerator, and the Blood spreading out beneath the Corpse, and screamed in fright.
After the Man reported to Police, the Police quickly arrived and began to investigate the Crime Scene.
Feimo left contentedly, leaving some Crows around, waiting to watch the excitement.
At Training Ground 119 in Beihu Town, Chi Feichei turned off the Projection, pulled up Enoe Tatsue's Data on the Computer, marked it with a 'cleaned up' Symbol, and then signed the Code Name 'Raki' with an Electronic stylus.
Although Enoe Tatsue was already dead as could be under the Camera Monitoring, someone would still go to confirm Enoe Tatsue's Death later, add 'confirmed Death' Information to the Data, and then sign their Code Name or Name.
Enoe Tatsue was not an Important person, and the Death confirmation would most likely be done by an Outer Member, after which this Data would be sealed and stored at the bottom of the Database, or directly destroyed.
He didn't need to dismantle the Camera over at the Building.
After some time, when the Police Investigation was over, whoever installed the Camera would dismantle it.
If no Fingerprint was left behind, it was fine not to dismantle it.
That Pinhole Camera aimed at the Apartment was very Hidden, and even if it was discovered, the Police would not know what connection that Camera had with the Murder Case.
As for the Email records that Enoe Tatsue sent to Gin, Gin had already found someone to Intrusion and clear them from the Internet, so there was no need to worry about the Investigation tracing back to the Organization.
"In This Case, Raki's two Goals here are both Finished," Vodka said with emotion, "And the Police can't trace back to the Organization, just using an old refrigerator, it's really simple and silent."
Chi Feichei closed the Laptop, "Even without me having someone put that old refrigerator there, her being Murdered was only a matter of Time."
Yingqu Yan Nan secretly glanced at Chi Feichei's Neutral Face, he suspected that the Boss was making excuses, if there had been no old refrigerator, maybe that Woman would not have thought of Murder, even if she had thought of it, without a suitable Opportunity, she might have given up and gradually forgotten about it, so, in this Incident, his Boss was a Bastard Demon who tempted people to make mistakes.
Chi Feichei didn't think so much, got up and put the Computer back in the Cabinet.
Even without him, there would have been another old refrigerator there, maybe a day or two later, but 'Crow Grandmother' being Murdered was inevitable.
Enoe Tatsue had Offended too many people, if it wasn't the Woman Upstairs, it would have been someone else, there was no need for the Organization to Intervene at all.
He had someone put the old refrigerator there in order to lock down Enoe Tatsue's Time of Death and Location.
Location, definitely near the refrigerator.
As for the Time, it would probably be the day after the old refrigerator was placed, because the Murderer saw the old refrigerator for the First Time, had a Plan in mind, went to buy lottery tickets and make other Preparations, they would probably take Action the next day, and at the latest, it would not exceed two days.
In this way, as long as he set up a Camera in the Vicinity, he could sit and confirm Matters through remote Surveillance, without having to run to that Vicinity again and leave any Trace.
It's just that now it looks like this Crime was initiated by him, he gave others the Opportunity to commit a Crime, tempting others to commit a Crime, and he couldn't explain 'it would have been like this without me', it was impossible to explain clearly...
Then Never Mind, he'll take the Responsibility for this.
Yingqu Yan Nan complained inwardly, got up and went to the Water Dispenser to get Water, "Do you think the Police can find out that the Woman Upstairs committed the Crime?"
Sigh, his Boss was really harmful.
"That Woman threw a Coin under the old refrigerator, the Crime Scene looks like Enoe's Coin fell under the old refrigerator, and when she went to pick it up, she was hit by the Flower Pot hanging on her own Balcony, and there are many Crows in the Vicinity, the Police might even suspect that it was a Crow that accidentally hooked the Flower Pot with its Claw," Gin had no intention of paying attention to what happened to that Woman, got up and prepared to leave, "If there are no Detectives or other people to Intervene, the Police will probably close the case as an Accident, but that has nothing to do with us."
"Are you Finished over there?" Chi Feichei asked.
"Number 1 and Number 2 are both cleaned up," Gin turned to walk Outside the Door, "Bourbon that Guy insists on investigating the whereabouts of Akai Shuichi and his FBI group, the Shuanghe Society side needs people to Confirm before Action, it will probably take a few days, after Confirmation, we will go and meet that Yakuza Rising star..."
Vodka immediately followed, and also helped close the Door.
Yingqu Yan Nan drank Water, and after the Electronic door re-locked, he spoke out, "Boss, that person under Rum... who is also the Legal Advisor of the Cold Butterfly Society, seems to be making Subtle Move recently, causing some Conflict between the Cold Butterfly Society and the Shuanghe Society."
Chi Feichei looked at Yingqu Yan Nan, "What do you Think they want to do?"
Recently, Yingqu Yan Nan had not been running to the Cold Butterfly Society, but he would occasionally Call and send Text Message to the Members of the Cold Butterfly Society, and also win over a small group of people to stick together, attracting Takayama Otome's attention, helping Uryu Ayaka and Rum arrange for that Legal Advisor to create Space for Activity, so he had some Knowledge of the Internal Situation of the Cold Butterfly Society.
"Let me briefly explain the course of events," Yingqu Yan Nan said, holding his Water Cup and running to sit on the Sofa, "Initially, there was a small Conflict between the Girls of the Cold Butterfly Society and the people of the Shuanghe Society, this is very common, generally Gang leaders would come forward to mediate, turning big Matters into Small Matters, and Small Matters into nothing, after all, in recent years, policies in all aspects are not Suitable for the Survival of Yakuza Organization, and everyone is trying to reduce unnecessary Making enemies, but this time, Takayama Otome's Attitude was very tough, and she had no Intention of reconciliation with the Shuanghe Society, externally saying it was Establishing authority, and that others must know that the Women of the Cold Butterfly Society are not easy to bully, originally there was nothing wrong with Say So, but a Female friend I know well in the Cold Butterfly Society said that recently Takayama Otome and the Legal Advisor have been meeting frequently and secretly discussing something, I secretly asked Uryu, and she said that Takayama Otome vaguely revealed to her that it was related to the Shuanghe Society, and that the Yamaguchi-gumi was also involved, Takayama Otome has also recently taken the Legal Advisor with her to contact the High-Level Member and Boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi several times..."
Chi Feichei did not Interrupt Yingqu Yan Nan, but just listened quietly.
The current Cold Butterfly Society has Women who often frequent Bars, nightclubs and other Places as Members, in addition to those professional Waitress, there are also some rebellious daughters from wealthy families, and Women from various Industries who have been hurt or need to stick together for Heating are also joining one after another, there is no shortage of Personnel, and these people have brought a huge Network of connections to the Cold Butterfly Society, and behind the Cold Butterfly Society there is also a Smuggling Route, plus a Troubleshooting office for helping people, Bars for Investment Operation, etc., there is no shortage of Funds, and it has also recruited many Talents from the legal and Finance circles, overall, it is developing quickly and steadily, and Takayama Otome, who is old, also has the title of 'Lady Cold Butterfly'.
Currently, there are three major factions within the Cold Butterfly Society.
One is Yingqu Yan Nan, although he is a rare Male Outlier in the Cold Butterfly Society, he himself provided a Smuggling Route before the Cold Butterfly Society was established, in the eyes of others, he is a mysterious, ambitious, and deeply Background Elder, there are not many Members leaning towards Yingqu Yan Nan, but he can be considered to have a small Collective.
The second is Takayama Otome, as the Chairman, the people under Takayama Otome may not be called 'factions', but because of the existence of Yingqu Yan Nan, they can be regarded as the 'orthodox and loyal Chairman maintenance faction', just like righteous Ministers guarding against Rebels who may usurp the throne, and in Takayama Otome's faction, the one most trusted by Takayama Otome and who has the most contact with Affairs in all aspects is a Legal Advisor, Rum's person.
The third is Uryu Ayaka, also not considered a 'faction', just that after some younger Girls formed a group, the leader they found was Uryu Ayaka, they are all Girls who like to play and are at most sixteen or seventeen years old, saying it is a faction, but in reality they have no say, and usually do not participate in any Benefit disputes, and their Relationship with the other two factions is quite good, representing the Rebirth generation.
Currently, Uryu Ayaka is still Takayama Otome's Confidante in her Heart, and the Heir she is Optimistic View of, Takayama Otome not only does not have a trace of targeting or dissatisfaction with Uryu Ayaka's small faction, but also wholeheartedly teaches Uryu Ayaka how to dig up and win over Personnel.
There has been no Burst of Conflict between Yingqu Yan Nan and Takayama Otome, but people on both sides are very seriously Guarding Against the other group of people.
It's Ridiculous to say, but the three factions in the eyes of others all have the Shadow of the Organization Behind them.
The Organization set up a Play, sent three people out to perform, and set up a Game for Takayama Otome, a Tool Person who worked hard to develop the Gang, when nothing happened, Takayama Otome had a lot of say, but as long as it involved the Organization's Benefit, it would be smooth and easy to change the Chairman of the Cold Butterfly Society.
"I have Considered, we should eliminate all the High-Level Member of the Shuanghe Society, the Shuanghe Society will definitely become a mess," Yingqu Yan Nan analyzed with a Serious Face, "Rum's people probably want to let the Cold Butterfly Society take the Opportunity to take over the Territory and people of the Shuanghe Society, but if the Cold Butterfly Society takes over alone, once the Police discover that all the High-Level Member of the Shuanghe Society are dead, then the Suspicion of Murder will fall on the Cold Butterfly Society, and the Cold Butterfly Society will also be Vigilance by other Yakuza Organization, so they want to pull in the Yamaguchi-gumi, give the bulk of the Benefit to the Yamaguchi-gumi, and also make the Police and other Yakuza Organization think that the Shuanghe Society's Matters were done by the Yamaguchi-gumi."
"The Yamaguchi-gumi will agree to take the Scapegoat of the Police not being able to find Evidence, but get Benefit without much Effort," Chi Feichei said in a calm Tone, "And Rum's people probably won't Say So that it was someone she knew who went to Assassination the High-Level Member of the Shuanghe Society, but Say So that she just heard some Rumors, and maybe she can also use the Name of 'going to find a mysterious person to buy News' to transfer a sum of Money from the Cold Butterfly Society to the Organization."
"Correct," Yingqu Yan Nan Nodded, he also Thought So, looking at it this way, the Organization is like a terrifying vampire worm Hidden Behind the Cold Butterfly Society, "You Seemingly Don't Know about this Matter, and there are no Other Things Recently, so I mentioned it to you."
"I Know," Chi Feichei stood up, carrying Hassashi, "If you are sleepy, go back to sleep first, I'll go see the White Mouse."
Correct, Rum didn't Say So about this Matter, but it doesn't Mean that The Boss doesn't Know, nor does it Mean that Rum is Intentionally Conceal from him and Gin.
In the eyes of these people, the Cold Butterfly Society is just a Tool, there is no need to compete for anything at all, the greater Possibility is that Rum wants to tell them when the Preparations are almost done.
Thinking this way, but Chi Feichei still sent an Email to The Boss:
[About the Shuanghe Society's Matters, Rum Seemingly wants to Get Involved the Cold Butterfly Society. --Raki]
After Chi Feichei finished seeing the White Mouse and went Outside the Door, The Boss's Reply also came:
[This Matter has already received my permission, Rum intends to utilize some Remaining benefits left by the Shuanghe Society, they will be Careful in their Actions over there, and will not let the Cold Butterfly Society or the Organization be Stare at.]
Indeed.
Chi Feichei put away his Mobile Phone, opened the closed Laptop, and re-opened the Camera Monitoring.
In the Scene, the Police had already sealed off the Crime Scene near the old refrigerator, and in the Onlookers on the Roadside, Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, carrying their Schoolbag, stood in the front row of the Crowd watching.
Between 'watching Conan Solve a Case' and 'going Home to sleep', he chose the latter.
Closed the Computer, and left.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 1011 That Boss Changed
Beika Town Apartment Building downstairs, Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were watching and watching, about to cross the Caution Tape.
"Please don't come in!" Kazunobu Chiba maintained order, and when he saw the four Children sneaking close to the Caution Tape, he was surprised for a moment, but quickly didn't find it strange anymore, "Oh, it's you guys..."
It's these Children again who like to run to the Crime Scene and aren't afraid of corpses.
Mitsuhiko looked excited, "Officer Chiba, what happened here? Please tell us a little, maybe we can help!"
"No, I can't tell you." Kazunobu Chiba looked helpless. See, these Children are really not afraid of Murder Cases and corpses.
Conan saw a human shape Outline drawn in front of the Old Refrigerator, "Could that be..."
Genta already knew what it was and exclaimed, "Could it be a Murder Case?!"
The Crowd of onlookers around immediately began to whisper.
"Huh? A Murder Case?"
"It really is a Murder Case..."
"How scary..."
"No, no, it's just an Accident," Kazunobu Chiba quickly raised his voice to appease the Public, "It's not a Murder Case!"
"Accident?" Conan asked curiously.
"Don't be so loud..." Kazunobu Chiba scratched his head helplessly, thinking that if he didn't explain clearly, these Children wouldn't leave, and maybe Rumors would spread again. He bent down and approached the four Children, and whispered the Situation, "Someone did die here, it's an Old Lady who lived alone in this Apartment Building. Her name is Enoe Tatsue. This morning, when she came back after going out, a Flower Pot fell from upstairs and just hit her Head."
"A Flower Pot fell and hit her Head..." Conan looked up towards the top of the Apartment Building, and indeed saw a Circle of Flower Pots hanging outside the Balcony of one Household. Only that Balcony in this Apartment has Flower Pots.
Ayumi also looked up and followed, whispering, "Hanging there is very dangerous."
"It could fall down at any time," Genta said.
Mitsuhiko also frowned and said, "It's really inconsiderate! Who is the owner of that Room?"
"Room 404..." Kazunobu Chiba looked up, "Enoe Tatsue, who was hit by the Flower Pot, lives in that Room."
"Do you mean to say that this Grandmother was hit in the Head and died by the Flower Pot she placed on her Balcony?" Conan felt something was wrong, it was too much of a coincidence.
"That's what we're guessing," Kazunobu Chiba said.
"This Grandmother is so pitiful," Genta sighed.
"Officer Chiba!" A Police Officer with a Notebook ran to Kazunobu Chiba, "The Residents of this Building said that they had protested to the Deceased about the Flower Pots before, wanting the Old Lady to move the Flower Pots Inside the Room to prevent them from falling down and hitting people, but this Old Lady wouldn't listen no matter what."
"Is that so," Kazunobu Chiba said with a sigh, "If she had listened to her Neighbor's advice, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened today because of a Crow's Prank."
"Why do you say it's a Crow's Prank?" Conan asked again.
Kazunobu Chiba looked towards the High Place around, "Did you see? There are many Crows nearby. Grandmother Enoe lives on the fourth Floor, it shouldn't be a Wild Cat. Maybe a Crow accidentally got its Mouth or Foot caught on the Flower Pot, and in the Struggle, it knocked the Flower Pot down..."
"In Other Words, did a Crow kill Grandmother Enoe?" Ayumi looked at the Crows nearby, frowning slightly, "But Feimo is very nice..."
"Just like Humans, there will be bad Crows, right?" Mitsuhiko said seriously, "Weren't our Detective Badges robbed by a Group of bad Crows before?"
Conan also didn't think it was done by a Crow. He Stared at the Crime Scene for a while, asked two questions, but still couldn't find where the slight unease in his Heart came from.
Due To having to go to School, the four Children didn't stay for long. When they left, the young Woman in Room 504 greeted Ayumi, and was also noticed by the Famous Detective.
The Famous Detective was also pondering this Matter in class. Afterwards, in his spare Time from School, he spent two days solving the Case.
On the other side, Chi Feichei soaked in the Laboratory of Training Ground 119 for five days, preparing to make the new version of the Finished Drug. Every day, he ran between Home and the Laboratory, the only time he went to Other Places was to eat at Shinde Tomoaki's Home.
After finishing the Medication, Chi Feichei remembered the Matter of Enoe Tatsue, and used the Computer to look up Enoe Tatsue's Data.
Could not find it, the page was completely cleared, indicating that the Matter has been concluded.
Also, Target No. 3 that he was previously responsible for, he also couldn't find relevant Data.
These people are neither Test Subjects for testing Medicine, nor important or special figures. Even if they die, they won't involve anyone too powerful, and they won't cause turmoil. After confirming their Death, they don't even have the Qualification to be archived.
After Chi Feichei read it, he closed the page and used the Computer to send an Email to The Boss.
[AHTX-1031 can enter the Human Experiment stage, but the final Finished Product may still need to be Adjusted based on Human Body Reaction and related Data. --Raki (Pinyin name)]
This was The Boss's Request, asking him to say something when the Research reached the point where it could act on the Human Body.
While waiting for The Boss's Reply, Chi Feichei went to check on the Group of Purple-Eyed White Mice that had been bred.
Regardless of artificial insemination, natural conception, or breeding the Purple-Eyed White Mice bred later with the initial Purple-Eyed White Mouse, or breeding ordinary White Mice with the initial Purple-Eyed White Mouse, the survival rate of the White Mice has always been very low. They either die in the womb, or have problems at Birth and can't survive for more than two days.
After all this time, only eight Purple-Eyed White Mice have been produced, not even enough for ten. He has also been reluctant to use Purple-Eyed White Mice for Experiments, these all have to be used as breeding mice to continue breeding.
"Buzz..."
After Chi Feichei adjusted the Water, Food, Temperature, and Humidity of the Breeding Equipment, The Boss's Reply was transmitted.
[Don't use Humans for Experiments casually. You can use the Organization's Enemy, but you are not allowed to use Core Member to test Medicine.]
Chi Feichei did not Reply again.
That Boss Changed.
He used to Reply instantly, but now he occasionally has to wait a long time to Reply, and he is still guarding against him poisoning his Subordinates every day, as if verifying a Sentence - you don't cherish what you get.
...
The next day.
Outside Doctor Agasa's House, as soon as the Red Lexus SC stopped, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko immediately surrounded it, and Haibara Ai and Conan also approached the Car Side.
"Brother Chi, good morning!" Ayumi Staring at Hassashi poking his Head out from behind the Car Window, greeted with a smile, "Hassashi, you too, good morning!"
"Brother Chi, Hassashi, good morning!"
The Other Children also followed suit and greeted them.
Conan and Haibara Ai were both secretly paying attention to the Car.
They had heard Ayumi say that Chi Feichei raised a White Cat, and had always wanted to see it. When Genta and Mitsuhiko clamored to see the Cat, they also joined the Queue of agreement, but they didn't know...
After Chi Feichei got out of the Car, a white shadow darted out and quickly darted onto the Wall of Doctor Agasa's House aside.
Ayumi turned her Head to look at the White Cat On the Wall, her Eyes Smilingly Curved, Brother Chi really wouldn't let them down, "Nameless, good morning! I'm Ayumi, do you still remember me?"
"Brother Chi really brought Nameless!" Genta also ran to the bottom of the Wall and looked up.
"So beautiful!" Mitsuhiko exclaimed.
In the Morning Sunlight, the white short Fur on the White Cat's body was smooth and shiny, without a trace of variegation. It lowered its Head and looked at the five Children gathered under the Wall, its Pupils in its blue Eyes shrinking into flat and long ovals.
Of course, it tidies itself up beautifully every day!
Haibara Ai looked up, worried that they were too enthusiastic and would scare the Cat, and Subconsciously lowered her voice, "It is indeed a very beautiful Child."
"So it's it..."
Conan recognized it, wasn't this the White Cat that he and Hattori had fed?
Ayumi turned her Head back curiously, "Conan, have you seen Nameless before?"
While Conan was explaining that he had seen Nameless in the Red Horse (toy) Incident, Doctor Agasa also walked over.
"Hassashi, you're here!" Doctor Agasa looked energetic, and then looked up at Nameless On the Wall, "This is Nameless, right?"
"Yes," Mitsuhiko said with some Distress, "But it just won't come down."
"Maybe everyone is too enthusiastic and scared it," Haibara Ai looked up at Nameless, "For that Child, an overly enthusiastic Attitude might make it very uncomfortable, right? Just like someone who is used to the cold winter suddenly seeing the Sunshine, they will be uneasy, maybe even run away and Test, and need some Time to accept it."
Conan: "..."
Haibara, are you sure these thoughts are the Cat's, and not your own feelings secretly expressed through the Cat?
"Also Correct, Nameless is very shy," Ayumi looked up at Nameless and lowered her voice, "It must be us who scared it."
Conan Looked and Looked, and didn't think Nameless looked shy anywhere. He did think that this Cat exuded a calm and Arrogant Aura all over, but he couldn't judge whether this Cat was calm on the surface or not.
Thinking about it this way, it's just like Haibara...
Doctor Agasa imagined the situation of the White Cat with a cold face and a nervous Heart, and also thought of Haibara Ai. He smiled and said to Nameless On the Wall, "We will try very hard to catch a lot of Fish today, your Dinner is settled!"
"Fishing..." Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko turned their Heads to look at Doctor Agasa in Doubt, "Fish?"
Chi Feichei also Looked Towards Doctor Agasa.
Isn't today's Daily Routine Camping?
Conan explained, "Doctor thinks that we've always gone Camping before, so this time we'll change it up and take everyone Sea Fishing in the Sea Area of Kanagawa, of course, the Curry Rice party in the Night will not be cancelled..."
Chi Feichei recalled for a moment.
The Sea Fishing in this Plot...
Is today Doctor Agasa's Birthday?
Genta said excitedly, "And it can also become an All-Fish Curry Feast Gathering!"
Ayumi sweated, and smiled reluctantly, "Curry and Fish cooked together, will the Flavor be very weird?"
"Okay, I have already contacted the Fishing Boat," Doctor Agasa said with a smile, "The Fishing Gear and Bait have also been prepared."
Nameless twitched its Ears, got up and ran towards the Wall of the Kudo's House Next Door, constantly 'Meow meow meowing', "Master, I don't want to go to the Sea, that feeling of being unsettled is too annoying, you guys go, I'll wait for you to come back!"
Ayumi saw Nameless's Reaction and stood there stunned, "Ah..."
"Sc-scared away," Mitsuhiko was also a little Stunned, "Were we too loud just now?"
Genta was Stunned, "Are we that scary?"
"It just doesn't like going to the Sea," Chi Feichei said, thinking about Other Things in his mind.
He wasn't sure if today was Doctor Agasa's Birthday, but preparing a Gift is always right. Even if it's not, it can be a Small Gift given to a Friend at ordinary times.
It's just that he is unprepared now, he has to think about what Gift to give Doctor Agasa...
Doctor Agasa thought that Chi Feichei was comforting them, and that the Cat was scared away by them. However, seeing the Children's relieved appearance, he didn't expose it. He turned his Head to look at Chi Feichei, but before he could speak, he saw Chi Feichei Turn Around and go Aside.
Chi Feichei walked to the other side of the Street, lowered his Head and took out his Mobile Phone, "Doctor, I'm going to make a Phone Call."
"Ah, okay..." Doctor Agasa was stunned for a moment, and helplessly raised his Hand to Scratch Head, "I also wanted to ask Hassashi if he wanted to prepare his own Fishing Gear."
Conan chuckled dryly, no matter what Fishing Gear Chi Feichei prepares, he probably won't catch Fish...
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 1012 Haibara Ai: Give a Preventive Shot in Advance
Chi Feichei walked to the other side under the Wall and first sent an Email to Gin.
[Sea Fishing near Kanagawa Sea Area, one Day. ——Raki]
The current Time is 8:30 AM. Chi Feichei didn't expect Gin to Reply in time. After clocking in, he Called Da Shan Mi and sent an Email to Non-Ink.
After getting affirmative replies from Da Shan Mi and Non-Ink, Chi Feichei turned around to find Doctor Agasa, and drove two Cars with five Kids to Kanagawa.
The Car drove directly to Kanagawa Wharf. The Fishing Boat Doctor Agasa had contacted in advance was already waiting at the Wharf.
Before long, the Fishing Boat left the Wharf and sailed into the Sea with gentle Sea Wave.
Chi Feichei watched the five Children put on Life Jacket before taking the five Children to the Deck.
Ayumi ran to the side of the Ship, closed her eyes and felt it, and said with a smile, "The Sea Breeze is so Cooling!"
Hassashi had already Slip down and ran to the side of the Ship with a Group of Children.
Haibara Ai squatted down, picked up Hassashi, let Hassashi See the Sea, and took out a string of small Float from her Pocket, lowered her head and tied it to Hassashi's body, "With this tied on, you don't have to Worry about falling into the Sea..."
Hassashi: "..."
Although it doesn't really like to touch Seawater, it can swim, and it can climb back up in time if it falls.
Tying such a large string of Float, it always feels that it will be used as Bait and Throw into the Sea in the next second, and then be eaten by a Fish as big as Hiri...
Chi Feichei watched Haibara Ai tie Float to Hassashi's body, Sense the Mobile Phone vibrate, turned around and walked Aside to Took a Call, and then returned to the Deck, calculating the Time in his Heart.
Da Shan Mi has already bought the Gift, while Non-Ink needs about 30 minutes to Go To the designated Location and get Things. Whether to take Hiri's 'convenient Ship' from Tokyo Pier, or fly over by himself, it will take more than two Hours.
They are going to the Breakwater for Fishing, which will take about half an Hour on the way. When they get there, it will definitely be too late to send Doctor Agasa's Gift, but they should be able to catch up on the way back...
Haibara Ai Sense someone approaching beside her, withdrew her Line of Sight from the Sea Surface, looked up at Chi Feichei who walked to her side, "You have been getting Phone Call all Day today, do you have something to busy with?"
Doctor Agasa Scratch Head and said with a smile, "Hissashi, if you have something to busy with, you don't actually need to Specially Keep Company with everyone here..."
"It's okay," Chi Feichei said, "I don't have anything to busy with."
Haibara Ai didn't ask further, and Looked towards the Sea again, giving Chi Feichei a Preventive Shot in advance, "No Matter whether you can catch Fish or not, looking at the magnificent Sea is always a good thing to relax Mood, right?"
Brother Hichiji probably still won't be able to catch Fish, she has to enlighten him in advance.
Chi Feichei Looked towards the Sea Surface and 'Uh-huh'ed.
The Cooling Sea Breeze was blowing slowly, and the endless Sea Surface was shining with Fish Scale-like light spots, which was indeed very relaxing.
Haibara Ai Once Seeing Chi Feichei should not be obsessed with catching Fish, she felt relieved, a faint smile appeared on her Face, and her Gaze at the Sea Surface also softened a lot, "The Sea is called the mother of mankind, occasionally..."
A Sea Wave hit the side of the Ship, and the Seawater that splashed up splashed Haibara Ai's Head and Face.
Chi Feichei Turn Head and Looked at Haibara Ai who was slapped in the Face by Seawater and Stunned in Original Place, and thought of a joke, "Stepmother."
Haibara Ai: "..."
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Conan who came over: "..."
"Pfft!" Conan was the First one who couldn't help but burst out laughing. Sense Haibara Ai glanced over, he felt that it was not good to laugh at him in person, so he chose to Turn Around and laugh secretly.
Chi Feichei squatted down, took out a Handkerchief and helped Haibara Ai wipe the Seawater dripping down her chin.
Haibara Ai's Speechless Mood improved a lot. She Looked at Hassashi who was tied with small Float and also splashed with Seawater, and handed Hassashi forward, "Whether or Not to use Clear Water to help Hassashi wash it?"
"No Need."
Chi Feichei helped Haibara Ai wipe her Face, and also helped Hassashi wipe the Seawater off his body.
Conan watched from Aside, and Teasing Haibara Ai in his Heart that she is really taking it for granted to be a Child now, completely forgetting that he also often took it for granted to let others help him wipe the Stain on his Face, especially Mouri Ran helped wipe the most times.
Doctor Agasa See that the Clean Up was done, and Looked towards the Sea again, and said with Emotion, "But, the Sea is indeed also called the source of Life..."
Conan Be Stunned, frowned and recalled.
Source of Life?
Say So, today Seems to be...
"Hey, are you Little Friends also here for Fishing at the Breakwater?"
A Middle-Aged Woman Step Forward and asked, with fine lines left by Time on her smiling Face, but from her facial features, if she step back more than ten years, she would also be a popular and beautiful Woman.
Mitsuhiko Nodded, "Yes, Aunt."
Genta added, "We will stay until Afternoon!"
"Then Whether or Not to have a competition with me?" the Woman asked with a smile, bending down to ask the three Children, "Let's See who catches more Fish, if I lose, I will treat you to a big Bento Box, how about it?"
"Bento?" Genta was greedy.
"My Creamy Crab Cake is very delicious!" the Woman said with a smile, Turn Head and asked the tall and thin Man who followed up behind her, "Right, Kanatani?"
The tall and thin Man wore a Fisherman's Hat, raised the Bento Box in his Hand, and said with a smile, "Yes, I have been eating your Signature Dish. As expected of a Fisherman's Daughter, the Cuisine made with Sea Food Ingredients is really amazing!"
Mitsuhiko hesitated, "But we are all just learning to Fish..."
"Then Go To Ask Ida," the Woman Proposed, "He knows a lot."
"Ida?" Genta was puzzled.
"He is the Master of this Fishing Boat," the Woman raised her Finger and pointed to the Pilot House, explaining, "He is still an active Fisherman. He knows everything about Fishing. He is simply a super expert!"
"Hahahaha... No, no, no, you won't catch Fish no matter how you ask," a Fat Man with a fat figure walked Step Forward, bent down in front of Genta, and touched Genta's Head, "Because they are still young, they will only be Bald Head no matter what!"
After Saying, he laughed and left.
"Bald Head?" Genta widened his eyes.
He is not Bald Head, he has Hair!
Mitsuhiko Looked puzzledly at the Fat Man who left laughing, "Does Age and Hairstyle have anything to do with Fishing?"
Conan explained, "'Bald Head' in Fishing refers to not catching a single Fish."
"Don't Mind," Haibara Ai said indifferently, "This is Just a boring Joke made by a Middle-Aged Man."
"This Fellow..." Genta Looked unhappily at the back of the Fat Man leaving, and then clenched his Fist, "Okay! We will ask that Fisherman for Secret Tip, and we must catch a lot of Tuna back today!"
"Okay!"
Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also raised their Fists with Fighting Spirit.
The three Children ran to ask the Fishing Boat Master for Fishing Tips, while Chi Feichei, Doctor Agasa, Conan, and Haibara Ai continued to stay on the Deck to See the Scenery.
"Huh?" The Middle-Aged Woman Notice Hassashi in Haibara Ai's Hand, Be Stunned, and didn't dare to approach, "Little Sister, what you have in your Hand is... is a Snake?"
The tall and thin Man Looked in surprise, "Are you Intention to use Snake as Bait?"
Hassashi: "..."
It was indeed regarded as Bait...
"No," Haibara Ai hid Hassashi in her arms, more Worry that these two people were Fishing Madman who Research Bait and would snatch Hassashi to be Bait, "This is a Pet. I am Just Worry that it will fall into the Sea, so I tied Float on it."
But Haibara Ai probably overthought it. The Woman Looked at Hassashi and didn't dare to Step Forward at all, "I See..."
The Fishing Boat drove to the front of the Breakwater and stopped. The Fishing Boat Master Ida arrived at the Deck. After waiting for the Fishing People to go ashore, he shouted loudly, "Then I will go back first. I will come back to pick you up in three Hours. If you need anything, Call me, and I can get here in 30 minutes!"
The Middle-Aged Woman, the tall and thin Man, and the Fat Man replied, and then went to find Fishing Location.
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi stared unhappily at the Fishing Boat driving away, making faces at the Fishing Boat, "Blegh..."
Gaze from Chi Feichei.
Ayumi felt a Cooling Line of Sight Staring at her Behind, turned her Head stiffly, See Chi Feichei's Gaze, Speechless for a moment, and quickly explained, "We Just Went To Ask that Uncle Fisherman for Fishing Tips, but he cheated us as Children, so we were a little angry..."
Mitsuhiko and Genta then remembered that Chi Feichei was there, and felt a chill in their Hearts, and Turn Around to join the Team of 'explaining to Chi Feichei'.
"He said with a smile, don't be naughty like Children..."
"It's Excessive, right?"
Chi Feichei: "..."
They are Originally Children, and they Care so much about Others regarding them as Children, and...
"Because the Footsteps on the Breakwater will transmit to the Water," Conan Looked at the three Children's cowardly appearance in front of Chi Feichei, and had no Intention to Teasing, it is a good thing that someone can control the three Mischievous Kid, "His Intention Should be to Say, let you not run around excitedly, if you scare the Fish away, you won't be able to catch Fish."
"Then he could have Say So directly..." Genta muttered in a low voice.
"Huh?" Doctor Agasa Notice the Fat Man jumped onto the Concrete Block outside the Breakwater, Be Startled, "He is very Danger like this, what if Children Follow him to learn?"
"Mr. Ejiri has always been like this," the tall and thin Man Looked towards the Fat Man sitting on the Concrete Block, "He likes to sit on the Concrete Block to Fish!"
"Such a big Sea, why is the Water here so shallow?" Haibara Ai Looked at the Concrete Block, "The Concrete Block protecting the dike is exposed above the Water Surface."
"Because the shape of the Rock Layer Protrusion here is very Complex," the Middle-Aged Woman explained, still staying far away from Haibara Ai who was holding Hassashi, "But thanks to this, Ships are not easy to drive in, so many Fishing People don't know about this Place. This is an excellent Fishing Location."
Genta stood on the side of the Breakwater and Looked Downwards, "Is this kind of Place considered an excellent Fishing Location?"
"Yes," Conan said with a smile, "For Fish, the Breakwater is Just Like a man-made Hotel with its own Dining Room. Fish that come to forage and Fish that come to lay eggs will live here..."
"Really?" Genta said happily, Turn Head and Looked at the Ice Box that came, "Then such a small Ice Box can't hold too many Fish at all!"
Conan reminded, "The Season when Fish forage to survive the Winter has Already Subsided..."
Genta: "If I had known, I would have brought a bigger Ice Box!"
Conan: "There won't be many Fish..."
Ayumi: "What should I do if it can't fit?"
Mitsuhiko: "Can I borrow an Ice Box?"
Conan: "..."
Is anyone listening to him?
The three Children chattered about what to do if there were too many Fish, and as they talked, they even had the Idea of 'opening a Fish Shop to sell Fish'.
Chi Feichei, Haibara Ai, and Doctor Agasa had Already set up Small Stool and were Packing Up Fishing Gear and Bait.
The other two Fishing guests also found suitable Locations and started Fishing.
Conan Looked around and found that no one was listening to him, so he didn't Say anymore.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 1013: Which Knot-tying Technique is Strongest?
On the Breakwater, a group of people sat in a row, staring at the Sea Surface.
Half an hour passed…
The float remained still.
Chi Feichei kept his eyes lowered, expressionless as he stared at the Sea Surface.
Hissashi stretched its Neck, telling itself to be patient.
An hour passed…
The float still remained still.
After eating Lunch Bento with everyone else, Chi Feichei continued to stare at the Sea Surface with an indifferent Face.
Hissashi ran aside to play with the Float Ball tied to its Body.
To hell with patience, it had already given up on Expectation!
An hour and a half passed…
The float on the Sea Surface still didn't have the slightest Movement.
Not only was there no Movement on Chi Feichei's side, but the five Child of the Junior Detective League, Doctor Agasa, and the other three fishermen had also gained nothing.
Doctor Agasa suspected that the Bait wasn't properly attached, so he reeled in his Fishing Rod to check. Seeing that everything was normal, he cast the Fish Hook out again.
Two hours passed…
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko began to Yawn and rub their Eyes.
Haibara Ai also yawned, Turn Head to Looked at Chi Feichei's indifferent Face staring at the Sea Surface, then Turn Head to Looked at the three fishermen in the distance.
It seemed that no one had caught any Fish…
It was good that everyone had no Gain, so Brother Hichiji wouldn't be too Blow.
However, they seemed to have gone to a Fishing Competition last time and didn't catch a single Fish. Could it be that they were infected by Brother Hichiji?
Two and a half hours passed…
On the Breakwater, Hissashi was entangled with a string of floats, its Body twisted strangely, urgently seeking Help in a Sound that only Chi Feichei could hear, "Master Master Master…"
Aside, Chi Feichei, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly Get Up.
"Huh?" Haibara Ai asked in Doubt, watching Chi Feichei walk backwards.
When Chi Feichei Step Forward, Hissashi tried to twist its Body to Struggle on its own, but ended up entangling itself even tighter.
"Master Master Master…"
Chi Feichei squatted down, picked up Hissashi along with the pile of floats, and silently untangled the messy String on it, "Don't move."
Hissashi immediately stopped moving, obediently waiting to be rescued.
Haibara Ai was startled by Hissashi, and quickly Step Forward to squat down, watching Chi Feichei dismantle the floats, String, and Snake Body that were tangled into a Circle.
The Junior Detective League and Doctor Agasa also followed and surrounded them, looking at Hissashi, who was entangled and unable to move, inevitably feeling Sympathy.
"Is Hissashi okay?" Ayumi asked worriedly.
"It's okay." Chi Feichei helped untie a Knot and continued to Handle the next one.
Conan found it unbelievable, "Although Haibara specially looked for non-slip Rope to prevent the Float from slipping, the Scales on the Snake's Body are smooth, so it shouldn't be easy to be entangled by String…"
Even if someone used Rope to entangle a Creature like a Snake, it would be difficult to entangle it, let alone Hissashi, who had been playing by itself in the back. How exactly did Hissashi entangle itself like this?
Chi Feichei was not surprised, "Not the First Time."
Every time, Hissashi could play with Knots like Snare Knot, somehow getting itself into them, somehow tightening the Knot Head, and somehow tying various Hangman's Knot, Slip Knot, Dead Knot, and Knots for tying Fishing Line on the Outside. Occasionally, it would even use its Body and Rope to form various bizarre Knots, and they were the kind that got tighter the more it Struggled…
He believed that even with a smooth Fishing Line, Hissashi could entangle itself in it.
In terms of Knot-tying Technique, he was inferior to Hissashi.
Haibara Ai waited aside for Chi Feichei to untie the Knots, and also gave up the Idea of tying floats to Hissashi's Body again.
She was afraid, afraid…
After Hissashi regained Freedom, it Looked at the string of Small Round Float in Chi Feichei's Hand with reluctance. It couldn't Fish anyway, and playing with these Small Round Float was quite Fun, "Master, I still want to play with floats, don't worry, I will be Careful not to get entangled!"
Chi Feichei put the floats Beside Hissashi and returned to the Fishing Rod.
"Not a single Fish has been Hooked." Ayumi rubbed her Eyes and sat back on the Small Stool.
Genta raised his Head to Looked at the Sky, "Yeah, the Weather is clearly so good…"
"It's because the Weather is good that it's difficult to Fish," Conan couldn't hold back anymore, and popularized 'the Relationship between Fishing and Weather' to pass the Time, "In places where the Water is not so deep, the Sunshine will make the Water very clear, and the Fish will be more Vigilance, so Cloudy Day or Light Rain Weather is actually more Suitable for Fishing! However, Say So, but this Fishing Spot is very good, and there will be Gain soon!"
"It's Better not to Hope too much, Fishing is more Suitable for Patient Person." Haibara Ai Say So, Turn Head to Look at Chi Feichei sitting Beside her.
The others Followed suit and Looked at Chi Feichei, and soon collectively broke out in a Cold sweat.
Chi Feichei was still staring at the Sea Surface with an Expressionless Face, focused and intent, without the slightest Intention of joining the chat.
Ayumi: "…"
Brother Ike is really patient…
Conan: "…"
He suspected that Chi Feichei wanted to Stare a Deficit out of the Sea Surface.
Genta: "…"
Brother Ike's Gaze and Face are so Serious.
Doctor Agasa: "…"
So Serious that it's frightening.
Mitsuhiko: "…"
If he can't catch Fish, will Brother Ike lose his temper?
In a silence, Haibara Ai was the First Time to regain her senses, "Brother Hissashi, you… are really Effort, but don't have too strong a Competitive Spirit, Fishing is Originally used to relax Mood."
Chi Feichei Looked at the Sea Surface, "I am very relaxed."
He had already emptied his Brain, wasn't that relaxed enough?
"Uh, Correct, sometimes not being able to get a Gift from the Sea is not Because of lack of Effort, Luck or other Reasons are also Important," Doctor Agasa carefully considered his Words, so he Say So very Slow, but as he Say So, he suddenly felt a little Regret, Scratch Head and Say, "Even I haven't received a decent Gift, hahaha…"
Genta Looked at Doctor Agasa for a moment, Get Up and walked closer to Conan, lowering his Voice and Ask, "Conan, you Say we can catch all kinds of Fish here, Correct? Then can we catch Sea Bream?"
Conan Half-Moon Eyes, "Impossible…"
While the two were whispering, Ayumi's float drifted away along the Direction of the Seawater flow. Fortunately, the Middle-Aged Woman in the Downstream helped to retrieve the float.
After sitting quietly for more than ten minutes, Genta couldn't sit still anymore, clamoring to catch a Sea Bream, and ran towards the Front of the Breakwater.
"Don't run." Conan Say Out Speechless to remind him.
Also, he had already Say So that it was impossible to catch Sea Bream…
Genta slowed down his Footstep and tiptoed towards the Front of the Breakwater. Suddenly, he Stop Footstep and Turn Head to Say, "Brother Ike, Hissashi has entangled itself again!"
Hissashi, who was entangled in a ball with the float String on the Ground: "…"
Actually, it could try to untie it Oneself!
Chi Feichei Step Forward again to Help Hissashi untie the Knot, "Don't move."
"Okay." Hissashi obediently didn't move.
The Fishing Boat then sailed over, and Ida Yan got off the ship, greeting the A Group of People, "How is everyone's Gain? Did you catch Fish?"
"Of course…" Doctor Agasa laughed awkwardly, "No, it's as Bald Head as my Head."
"That's really a Regret," Ida Yan Looked at the three fishermen over there again, and asked loudly, "How is the Gain of those three?"
The Middle-Aged Woman had already Get Up, "I'm also Zero."
"Me too." The tall and thin Man responded with a helpless Smile, then Turn Head to Say to the Middle-Aged Woman, "How about we change Place in the Afternoon?"
"Okay." The Middle-Aged Woman agreed happily.
"Hey! We're leaving!" Doctor Agasa waved to the Fat Man sitting on the Concrete Block, "Refuel!"
"It's useless," the tall and thin Man Packing Up the Fishing Rod, "Mr. Ejiri will not Speak Out or move as long as he is Fishing, until he catches Fish, he will jump up excitedly."
"Is that so…" Conan Looked at the Figure of the Fat Man, and Discovery that the other party really didn't move, comparable to Chi Feichei.
Subsequently, the Fishing Rod Beside Ejiri slipped into the Sea, but he himself still didn't move.
"Hey, Mr. Ejiri? Are you asleep?" Ida Yan jumped onto the Concrete Block, walked forward with difficulty, raised his Hand and patted Ejiri's Shoulder, "Hey, you…"
Ejiri fell forward, almost falling into the Sea.
Conan's Face changed drastically, and he quickly ran forward.
"Mr., Mr. Ejiri, What's Wrong with you?" Ida Yan supported Ejiri, shouting in panic, "Cheer up!"
"Let go of him!"
Conan ran closer, and after Ida Yan put down Ejiri, he frowned and checked Ejiri's State.
There was still Breath, but his Lips turned Purple, and his Face was also bluish-purple, which was Evidence of being unable to Breath…
But his Pulse was very clear, and there was no Problem with his Heartbeat, In Other Words…
Sense Chi Feichei arriving and squatting down Beside him, Conan reminded, "The Reason may be Brain Disorder or Neurotoxin Poisoning!"
Chi Feichei flipped Ejiri's Pupil, Observation Ejiri's Facial Muscles, "Asymmetrical Pupils on both sides, Muscle Tremors, the Possibility of Neurotoxin Poisoning is higher…"
"Can't Care So Many!" Conan put Ejiri flat, leaned Ejiri's Head back to ensure Ejiri's Breathing Road was unobstructed, took a deep Breath, and prepared to perform Artificial Respiration.
Although the Possibility of Poisoning was higher, when he performed Artificial Respiration on this Person, he was likely to be Poisoning himself, but Just Like he Say, he couldn't Care So Many now, if he didn't First Aid again…
Before Conan had Time to lower his Head to perform Artificial Respiration, his Head was pressed by Chi Feichei and pushed Aside.
After Chi Feichei pushed Conan Aside, with a Neutral Face, he flipped out a palm-sized small Oxygen Cylinder from his Pocket, and then took out an Antibacterial Plastic Bag.
Conan Looked up blankly, and See Chi Feichei connect the Tube of the Oxygen Cylinder to the Plastic Bag, "Brother Ike, This Is…"
"Oxygen Cylinder, can temporarily supply Oxygen, No Need for you to do Artificial Respiration," Chi Feichei turned on the Oxygen supply of the Oxygen Cylinder, Adjust Afterwards, and then tore a hole in the Plastic Bag, covering Ejiri's mouth and nose, "Help press it."
Conan immediately helped press the Plastic Edge, freeing up one Hand to Catch the Oxygen Cylinder that Chi Feichei handed over.
Chi Feichei continued to rummage through his Pocket, took out a roll of Medical Tape, fixed the Plastic Bag Edge on Ejiri's Face, and also stuck the Oxygen Cylinder to Ejiri's Arm, Get Up and supported Ejiri, walking towards the Breakwater.
"Hu- Husband!" Tears welled up in the Middle-Aged Woman's Eyes, and she rushed forward anxiously.
"Everyone stand still!" Conan cleared the Road in Front of Chi Feichei, Step Forward to climb onto the Breakwater, raised his Hands and stopped in front of the Woman, Say seriously, "Don't move! He is likely to have been Poisoned, and the Poisoning Person is among the People who are now on the Breakwater!"
"I See," Haibara Ai made way, "We can't let the Criminal pretending to be panicked have the Opportunity to destroy Evidence."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 1014 Indeed is Brother Doraemon A Chi
After Chi Feichei helped Mr. Ejiri to the Breakwater, he laid the man down with his head tilted back, then got up and continued to rummage through his Pocket.
Syringe, Small Bottle of Glucose... Mr. Ejiri was lucky. He hadn't encountered Highly Toxic substances like Cyanide Compound. The Toxin dosage wasn't large, and he was still clinging to life. Fortunately, he also had some Atropine on him that he had asked Shinde Tomoaki for last time. He had originally intended to put it at Home, but he had rushed over before he could.
"In any case, please trouble you to drive the Ship and take Mr. Ejiri to the Hospital first!" Conan said to Ida Yan, then turned to look at Chi Feichei behind him, "Brother Chi... Brother..."
The others watched in Silence as Chi Feichei held the Syringe and Small Bottle of Glucose, and then took out a Small Bottle of powdered Medication from his Pocket.
This... "I brought Atropine," Chi Feichei said, looking up at the Middle-Aged Woman. "Is he your Husband? Does he have any allergies, especially to Medication?"
"Ah?" The Middle-Aged Woman was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shook her Head. "No, I haven't heard of him being allergic to any Medication."
Chi Feichei squatted down and continued to take Things out of his Pocket: a Small Bottle of Iodine, a Small Bottle of Alcohol, a Hemostasis Band, cotton swabs, and a Small Bottle with an unknown liquid...
No Matter what, a skin test was necessary before injecting Atropine. Conan: "..." The Problem was, just how many Things did his Little Friend bring with him every time he went out? It was amazing how he always seemed to have whatever was needed.
Haibara Ai glanced at the makeshift oxygen device on Mr. Ejiri's Face, a slight twitch at the corner of her Mouth. 'As expected of Brother Chi - Doraemon A - Hassashi!'
"Um…" Ayumi asked curiously, "What is Atropine?"
Haibara Ai explained calmly, "Atropine is a typical M-cholinergic receptor blocker that acts on the Nervous System. For toxins like sarin, tabun, soman, VX, and Pufferfish Toxin—organic phosphorus or organophosphate compounds, which are Neurotoxins—Atropine can alleviate Poisoning Symptoms."
The Surrounding Area fell silent for a moment. Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, the three Children, looked blank.
The tall, thin Man was stunned. "W-Who are you people?" The Middle-Aged Woman also stared blankly at the Group. "What kind of people are you?"
Conan opened his Mouth, but ultimately chose Silence. If he were asked alone, he would definitely answer 'My Name is Edogawa, I'm a Detective' without hesitation, firmly and confidently. But with Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai joining them, it was hard to Say.
Especially Chi Feichei, that Fellow. If he introduced them as 'This is a Veterinarian,' the Mood of these two and Captain Ida Yan would definitely become very Complex. To be honest, they were a combination of Children Detectives, a Veterinarian who didn't do his job properly, and a Drug Researcher whose actual Age, appearance, and Level didn't match...
Ayumi took a deep breath, her Expression serious. "We are…" "Junior Detective League!" Mitsuhiko and Genta said in unison, and together with Ayumi, they took out their Detective Badges.
"Brother Ike is the Master of our Group Mascot," Ayumi said, pointing to Hissashi, who was crawling on the Ground. With a serious Face, she introduced, "This is Hissashi, the Group Mascot of our Junior Detective League!"
Hissashi: "..." Group Mascot? Had it agreed to that? Well, let's just say it had.
Mitsuhiko scratched his Head sheepishly. "Brother Ike is probably more like an Advisor…"
Chi Feichei: "..." What kind of Advisor had he become now? The Middle-Aged Woman and the tall, thin Man: "..." What was going on? They were getting more and more confused.
Conan: "..." Hehehehehe… Well, that was better than telling them, 'That Young Man giving Mr. Ejiri a skin test is actually a Veterinarian.'
Chi Feichei first gave Mr. Ejiri a subcutaneous injection, then said to Ida Yan, who looked dumbfounded, "We still need to get him to the Hospital."
"Huh? Oh, okay!" Ida Yan snapped out of it, stepped forward, and helped Chi Feichei support Mr. Ejiri.
"Then Brother Ike and Mr. Ida should take Mr. Ejiri to the Hospital," Conan said, turning to Doctor Agasa. "Doctor, please contact the Ambulance and have them pick someone up at the Wharf. Also, notify the Police to come here!"
Doctor Agasa nodded and took out his phone to Call. Haibara Ai bent down, picked up Hissashi from the Ground, and said, "I'll go with Brother Hichiji."
Conan nodded, leaned closer to Haibara Ai's ear, and whispered, "Keep an eye on that Fisherman Captain. Even though he wasn't Fishing with everyone earlier, he approached Mr. Ejiri Just Now. It's Possible that he used Medication like Sleeping Pills beforehand to make Mr. Ejiri fall asleep, then pretended to find Mr. Ejiri was unwell. When he approached Mr. Ejiri, he could have used a Poison Needle or something to stab Mr. Ejiri and Poison him…"
"I understand," Haibara Ai replied, looking towards Ida Yan on the Ship, who was laying Mr. Ejiri down with Chi Feichei. She said softly, "If he's the Culprit, he might try to harm Mr. Ejiri, or even Brother Hichiji and me, on the way. It's also Possible he might escape after we reach the Shore. But don't worry, with Brother Hichiji here, if he makes any Subtle Moves, things will definitely end badly for him."
Conan thought about Chi Feichei's strength, and paused for a moment. "Still, be Careful. If he's the Culprit, he might still have Neurotoxins on him."
"Got it." Haibara Ai turned and headed for the Ship. The Fishing Boat quickly pulled away from the Breakwater. Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Doctor Agasa began investigating the Case. Genta remained stubbornly glued to his Fishing Rod. After waiting a while, he noticed the Float bobbing on the Sea Surface, his Eyes lit up, and he quickly Reached Out to grab the Fishing Rod beside him. Fishing! Fishing! He was determined to catch a Large Seabream!
…On the Fishing Boat, Ida Yan was Rideing the Fishing Boat in the Pilot House. Mr. Ejiri was laid out at the Entrance to the Pilot House, and Haibara Ai stood Aside, keeping an eye on Ida Yan and timing things. "Brother Hichiji, time's almost up. It looks like there's no Allergic Reaction. You can inject the Atropine now."
"No Allergic Reaction. I'm going to inject Atropine now. That's it. Contact me again if there are any Abnormality." Chi Feichei said to the Paramedics on the other end of the phone, then hung up.
"Wait… beep beep beep…" The Doctor on the other end of the line: "..." Couldn't they communicate with them properly? Did they even know the Dosage? An incorrect Atropine Dosage could cause Poisoning! This was worrying…
On the Ship, Chi Feichei injected Atropine into Mr. Ejiri, then helped press the Needle Hole while checking his Pulse. Due to the uncertainty of Mr. Ejiri's Poisoning Situation, he injected a very small Dosage, just enough to help keep him alive.
Haibara Ai kept watch throughout the entire Process, confirming that there were no Problems from the injection Dosage to the injection Process. She then waited quietly Aside. "How is Mr. Ejiri doing?" Ida Yan asked worriedly from the Pilot House. "Is he going to be alright?"
"His Situation is stable enough. He's not in life-threatening Danger." Chi Feichei said calmly, still squatting beside Mr. Ejiri and checking his Pulse. Suddenly, he noticed a tear in the Sleeve of Mr. Ejiri's Left Hand wrist, near his own Sleeve. He put down Mr. Ejiri's Right Hand, freed up his other Hand, and lifted Mr. Ejiri's Left Hand.
He remembered this Case… As Mr. Ejiri's Left Hand was lifted, the Sleeve slid down a little, revealing a scratch Wound on Mr. Ejiri's Left Wrist.
After Haibara Ai saw it, she quietly glanced at Ida Yan in the Pilot House, then leaned closer to Chi Feichei, squatted down beside him, and stared at the Wound on Mr. Ejiri's Wrist. In a low voice, she said, "It looks like a recent Wound. It's very Possible that the Culprit used something coated in Toxin to scratch his Wrist, Poisoning him. But who has approached him…?"
After arriving at the Breakwater, the only People who had approached Mr. Ejiri were Brother Hichiji, Edogawa, and Ida Yan.
"Master, Conan and Ai suspect Ida Yan. Conan told Ai to keep a close eye on Mr. Ida," Hissashi reported simply, recounting what he had just overheard. He then added doubtfully, "But it's really Weird. When Mr. Ejiri seemed unwell, I kept Staring at him, even when Mr. Ida ran over to him. I didn't See Mr. Ida use anything to stab or cut his Hand."
"He didn't Necessarily need to Approach," Chi Feichei said, standing up. "That tall, thin Man…" Haibara Ai was stunned. Could that Man be the Culprit?
Chi Feichei turned to Ida Yan in the Pilot House and asked, "Mr. Ida, what's the Name of that tall, thin Man wearing a Fisherman's Hat?" Haibara Ai breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a little amused.
There must be a Clue with that tall, thin Man. That's right, Brother Hichiji hadn't even asked about the Situation of those people at the time, or their Relationship with Mr. Ejiri. How could he have found the Culprit so quickly? If he could figure out the Culprit this easily, what would Edogawa, who was left at the Breakwater to Solve the Incident, think?
"Are you talking about Mr. Kanatani?" Ida Yan chuckled and said honestly, "His Name is Jin Gu Fengren. He, Mr. Ejiri, and Miss Shirane have been Friends for many years. They used to be enthusiasts in the same Fishing association. Later, Miss Shirane married Mr. Ejiri and then divorced him, but the three of them still made plans to Go Together Fishing. Their Relationship is really good. To be honest, I find it hard to believe they would harm Mr. Ejiri…"
Chi Feichei nodded, then said to Haibara Ai in a calm Tone, "Yeah, Jin Gu Fengren did it." Ida Yan's Hand jerked, and the Fishing Boat swerved sharply, tracing an 'S' shape before he managed to regain control.
"Wh-What?" Haibara Ai hadn't even Realized what he meant. Had Brother Hichiji really found the Culprit? Just like that?
"That's impossible! They…" Ida Yan broke out in a sweat, wanting to explain something, but then fell silent for a moment. "Now that you mention it, Mr. Kanatani seemed to have liked Miss Shirane before. But Miss Shirane married Mr. Ejiri, and after Miss Shirane's divorce, it seems Mr. Ejiri was the one who suggested it. He might have felt indignant on Miss Shirane's behalf, but it still seems a bit far-fetched to Poison Mr. Ejiri just because of that."
Haibara Ai looked at Chi Feichei. "What about the Method?" she asked. "Everyone was Fishing on the same side of the Breakwater. Even though we were some Distance away from them, if he jumped onto a Cement Block and approached Mr. Ejiri to Poison him, we would have seen it. And if he used some Method to cut Mr. Ejiri's Wrist without getting close, in such an open Place, any Mechanism or Trap would have been visible to us. The only thing I can think of is using a Fish Hook, coating it with Toxin, and then, while casting the Fishing Rod, hooking Mr. Ejiri's Wrist with the Fish Hook. But it doesn't seem Easy to hook and break Mr. Ejiri's exposed Skin with a Fish Hook in one cast, does it? You might be able to do it, but others can't. And if he tried multiple times, constantly casting the Fish Hook at Mr. Ejiri, even if Mr. Ejiri didn't find it Weird, we would have noticed and found it Weird, right?"
"A Tangle," Chi Feichei said. "It refers to when two Fishers' Fishing Lines get tangled together." Haibara Ai paused, processing the Clue. "In Other Words, Mr. Kanatani Intentionally tangled his Fishing Line with Mr. Ejiri's, then asked Mr. Ejiri to help untangle them. When Mr. Ejiri pulled in the Line, holding the Fish Hook to untangle it, he yanked his Fishing Rod back hard, and the Fish Hook could have scratched Mr. Ejiri's Wrist… That way, he really wouldn't need to touch Mr. Ejiri to Poison him."
