## Chapter 1017: How Should We Respond to This? (Bonus Chapter for Patron 'Wish for Author to Become Tentacle Monster When Updating')
Breakwater.
A group of people were busy reeling in fish.
Twenty minutes ago, with the help of Conan and his friends, Genta finally caught the first fish, and it was the highest-grade spoils of sea fishing, a very large Mao Ting Tai.
After that, the group got bored of waiting and also started trying to cast their lines, and almost within two minutes of casting, fish would bite, and the fish caught were all rare and of considerable size.
Genta directly spread out all the fishing rods, even using the fishing rods that Hissashi and Ai had left here, and then began frantically reeling in fish.
However, this good luck only lasted for two waves. More than ten minutes ago, fish stopped biting again.
"Are we not going to catch fish again?" Genta was addicted to reeling in fish, and seeing that no fish had bitten for a long time, he became impatient.
Kiriko Shirane said with a helpless smile, "We haven't had any movement on our side either."
Jin Gu Fengren sighed, then quickly smiled again, "Being able to have a bountiful harvest before being arrested isn't too regrettable."
Conan stood up and looked into the distance, "Just now, perhaps a dangerous sea overlord appeared in the Vicinity Sea Area, and when the school of fish fled in panic, a Portion ran to the Vicinity of the Breakwater, and now that the panicked fish have gradually calmed down, they have probably swam away again."
The fish tide just now was too exaggerated, and this was the only Possibility he could think of.
"What a Pity," Genta was unwilling, "If I had known this would happen, we would have brought more fishing rods!"
"But we've already gained a lot," Ayumi looked at the filled Ice Box and two Buckets, which were full of large fish, and her Eyes curved into a smile, "A great harvest!"
"Makes Sense," Mitsuhiko also said with a smile, "Using them for tonight's All-Fish Feast will definitely be enough!"
Genta was still unwilling, "But I still want to fish for Eel..."
Doctor Agasa suddenly heard his Mobile Phone Ringtone and took out his Mobile Phone to answer the Phone Call.
"Yes... I was the one who Call for the Ambulance before... Okay, I understand... Thank You for your Hard Work... Is that so? Ah, okay... I see, I will tell him."
Conan Turn Head to Look at Doctor Agasa, "Was that a Phone Call from the Hospital?"
The others also Looked at Doctor Agasa.
"How is Mr. Eijiri?" Miss Shirane asked anxiously.
"It was a Phone Call from the Hospital. Mr. Ejiri was poisoned by Pufferfish Toxin. Because of the timely First Aid, there is nothing seriously wrong. He was already awake before being sent to the Hospital," Doctor Agasa said, Looking at Jin Gu Fengren, "He also asked me to tell you that he has already told the Hospital that he accidentally got Hook by a Fish Hook that had caught a Pufferfish, and he will Say So to the Police as well. If you can't catch a Big Fish, he won't easily forgive you."
Jin Gu Fengren was stunned. Their misunderstanding had already been resolved, and he also knew that Eijiri's divorce from Shirane was not Because of an Extramarital Affair, but Because the Company encountered Troublesome issues and he was worried that Shirane would also bear the Debt together. Now, hearing that Eijiri did not Intention to pursue the Matter, he didn't know what to Say. When he Looked down, seeing the fish in his Ice Box, he smiled in relief, "Then I will take these back to apologize to him!"
Conan smiled and Looked towards the Sea Area in the distance.
It seems that Fellow Hissashi won't have a Written Statement to make this time either, but Never Mind, at least it's a good Ending...
"Brother Chi and Ai are so slow." Ayumi also Looked at the Sea Surface in the distance.
The Setting Sun was approaching Dusk, and the Sea Surface was dyed with a layer of Golden color, but it was still empty, without the Shadow of a Fishing Boat.
"What's even slower than them is the Police, right?" Conan frowned in Doubt, "They Should have arrived long ago."
"By the Way," Doctor Agasa Said, "The Hospital Said that when Hissashi sent Mr. Ejiri over, he also Contact them. They Originally wanted to Contact Hissashi to Say that Mr. Ejiri had already woken up, and Mr. Ejiri also wanted to express his Thanks, but they couldn't get through to Hissashi's Phone Call."
Conan frowned.
The Police and Hissashi's side Should have arrived long ago, but neither had arrived, and Hissashi's Mobile Phone was also unreachable. Could something have happened? But what could happen in this Vicinity? It can't be that they encountered pirates, right?
That's also impossible.
"Then Whether or Not we should Call Haibara to try?" Conan Proposed.
"Also Correct," Doctor Agasa picked up his Mobile Phone, "Then I'll Ask them why they haven't arrived yet."
The Phone Call was made, but it couldn't be connected and quickly hung up.
Doctor Agasa tried to Call Hissashi's Number again, worriedly Saying, "Both of their Phone Calls are unreachable, could something have happened?"
"Ah..." Genta stood on the Edge of the Breakwater, pointing to the Sea Surface not far Below, "It Seemingly is Brother Chi and that Fisherman Uncle!"
The others immediately squeezed over. Once Seeing, there were Indeed two Figures swimming closer on the Sea Surface.
Three minutes Afterwards, Hissashi and Ida Yan swam to the Vicinity, climbing onto the Cement Block Aside the Breakwater, soaking wet.
Doctor Agasa hurriedly Step Forward, "What happened?"
Ida Yan gasped for breath, "The Fishing Boat capsized at Sea..."
"Ah!" Genta, who had run to the Front, exclaimed.
"Then what about Haibara?" Mitsuhiko quickly Asked.
Ayumi was stunned, "Cou、Could it be..."
"She's fine, don't Worry, the Ship overturned, she stayed there to wait for us, her Stamina is not enough to swim too far, especially in the Sea," Ida Yan Interrupt Ayumi's brain-filling, Looking at Hissashi, "So only Mr. Chi and I came to pick you up."
"Pick us up?" Kiriko Shirane Looked at the two in confusion.
Excuse me, how should we respond to them now?
Hissashi stood up and handed the sealable Plastic Bag to Doctor Agasa, "Put your Mobile Phones and Electronic Products in, to prevent water from getting in."
Doctor Agasa took the Bag.
"To prevent water from getting in..." Conan's Eye twitched, "Don't tell me we have to swim back?"
"No, we only need to swim for a short Portion," Hissashi also took out a yellow Packaging Bag from his Pants Pocket, tore it open, pulled the String, and Throw the Packaging Bag towards the Sea Surface, "And we have a Tool."
The Packaging Bag automatically took in Air before falling into the Water, quickly expanding into an Inflatable Cushion, which could Probably accommodate two or three Children sitting on it.
Hissashi temporarily tied the String to the Cement Block, and the not-so-large Inflatable Cushion swayed gently on the Sea Surface with the Seawater flow.
"Mr. Chi even brought this kind of Things," Ida Yan laughed, "It took us about eight minutes to swim over here. If we were to escort everyone back and forth, it would take a long Time, and our Stamina may not be able to Support us to send everyone over. Moreover, there may also be Sea Snakes in the Sea, which is very Danger for the Children. It's much better to have this. We can send two or three Children over at a Time. As for Miss Shirane and Mr. Kanatani, they can swim. With the Inflatable Cushion to Assist, it should be no Problem for them to swim over..."
"Eight minutes?" Jin Gu Fengren Looked at the Wind and Waves on the Sea and estimated, "I can manage, But..."
Ida Yan became excited when he talked about this. Initially, he was afraid of Orcas, but after safely getting over here, only excitement remained. For people like them who fish at Sea all Day, being able to ride an Orca was enough for him to brag about for a Lifetime. He Blinked and Said, "Special Ships will send us to the Vicinity of the Pier then!"
"Orca," Hissashi did not keep them in suspense, "I know it, it can send us to the Vicinity of the Pier. Doctor, please Call the people at the Pier and ask them to pick us up at the Edge of the Shallow Water Area near the Pier."
"O、Orca?" Kiriko Shirane was surprised.
"Are we going to ride an Orca over there?" Ayumi's Eyes lit up.
"So amazing!" Genta was also excited for a moment, Turn Head to Look at the Ice Box and Bucket on the Breakwater, hesitantly Saying, "Brother Chi, can we also bring back the fish we caught?"
"Wait a minute," Doctor Agasa said in sweat, "Since we can Contact the Pier, we can just ask a Fishing Boat to pick us up."
"That won't do. Recently, once it gets to Night, the Wind and Waves at Sea will be very strong," Ida Yan Looked at the Setting Sun sinking in the Sky, "Fishing Boats can only go to the Edge of the Shallow Water Area at most, Otherwise they will also easily encounter Danger. The only thing that can send us to the Edge of the Shallow Water Area is the Orca."
"Ride the Orca! Ride the Orca!" Genta had already run back, carrying two Buckets.
Hissashi took them and put them Aside, "Send people over first, and use the Inflatable Cushion to put the fish last."
Doctor Agasa and Conan Looked at each other, then Looked at Kiriko Shirane and Jin Gu Fengren again.
This... are we really going to ride an Orca over there?
"Is it safe?" Jin Gu Fengren couldn't help but Ask, "Will the Orca not abandon us halfway, or directly eat us?"
"It won't!" Ayumi Said confidently, "Brother Chi is very good at taming Animals, and his Pets are very smart and well-behaved!"
"Correct," Ida Yan Nodded, "Don't Worry, that Orca listens to Mr. Chi very much. We also asked it to send us for a Portion of the Road when we came over just now."
Kiriko Shirane hesitated, "Then let's try it..."
"Okay, then we will send the three smaller Children over first," Ida Yan Looked at Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, then Looked at Genta and Doctor Agasa, "Then it will be this Younger Brother and Old Gentleman. Old Gentleman, you can swim, right? Lying on the Inflatable Cushion Should save a lot of Stamina. If Possible, please Help swim over."
"Ah, okay," Doctor Agasa Nodded, "I have no Problem!"
After Doctor Agasa put all the Electronic Products into the Plastic Bag and Sealed it, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Conan also squeezed onto the Inflatable Cushion.
Hissashi and Ida Yan pushed the Inflatable Cushion and swam towards the Sea. Before they even reached the Vicinity, Hiri proactively floated to the Sea Surface.
"It's really an Orca!" Ayumi leaned forward to Look.
Conan was also a little amazed in his Heart, Observing the behemoth lying in front of him.
After the Inflatable Cushion stopped, Hissashi and Ida Yan started to Help carry the three Children onto the Orca's back.
"Wait for us for a while." Hissashi touched Hiri's Head, Looking at Ida Yan who was lying on the Inflatable Cushion, "Mr. Ida, can you make another round trip?"
Ida Yan rested for a moment and Nodded, "No Problem, But after swimming another trip, I will Probably need to Rest for a while."
Hissashi Looked at the Sky, it was getting dark soon.
On the second trip, Genta sat on the Inflatable Cushion, Doctor Agasa lay on the Edge and swam forward, pushing the Inflatable Cushion together with Hissashi and Ida Yan.
Genta Looked at Doctor Agasa and lowered his Head in Silence.
Doctor's Birthday this year is really... very special.
