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."
