When they saw Yuan Huaiyu stepping off the fishing boat, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko immediately gathered around him and asked about Taishi Ejiri's situation.
"After being poisoned by neurotoxin, he is still not out of danger, so he can only be rushed to the nearest hospital for rescue."
Yuan Huaiyu's eyes swept over the faces of Shiragen Tongzi and Jin Gufeng, and said calmly: "It's just that I already have an idea of who is the person who poisoned them."
"What?!"
Everyone on the breakwater was stunned.
You already know?
"As expected of Teacher Yuan..." Ayumi and Guangyan admire Yuan Huaiyu in their hearts.
From the discovery of Taishi Ejiri's abnormality, to emergency artificial respiration, to sending Taishi Ejiri who could not breathe on the fishing boat, in this short period of time, Teacher Minamoto had already seen through the truth.
"Before I tell you my reasoning, I would like to ask a few questions about their relationship."
Yuanhuaiyu looked at the people who were looking at him expectantly, but he did not directly state it. Instead, he started asking Shigene Tongzi and Kanaya Fengren.
"We were all members of the fishing club when we were in college..." Jin Gufeng didn't know why, and there was a subtle nervousness in his words.
Shirone Kiriko added: "The same Ejiri who was carried away just now..."
"Then do you often come to this breakwater to fish?" Yuan Huaiyu continued to ask.
"Well, let's take the Ida fisherman's boat over here." Kanaya Mine said.
"In other words, the four of you should have known each other a long time ago?" Yuan Huaiyu sighed and chose one of the classic and old-fashioned three.
"Yes...and Ida and I's parents are both fishermen, so we've known each other since we were young," Shirone Kiriko said.
Ayumi was a little stunned: "Yes! I remember who said that Auntie, you are a fisherman's daughter..."
"It's me..." Kanaya Mineto glanced at Shirone Kiriko, "Shirane has a lot of knowledge about fish and is very popular in the club... and she is good at cooking and beautiful. She is our
The goddess of the club.”
Having said this, Jin Gufeng's eyes seemed to light up a bit.
"Please, Kanaya, how long ago it was..." Shirone Kiriko felt a little embarrassed when her companion described herself in this way.
"Is that why you had murderous intentions?" Haibara Ai suddenly interjected, "Because Miss Shirane was snatched away by Mr. Ejiri..."
She looked at the astonished Kiriko Shirane: "Judging from the name Miss Shirane addressed to Mr. Ejiri, there should be a relatively close relationship between the two of them."
"The prisoner is Mr. Kanaya who is resentful because of his broken love..." Upon hearing this, Mitsuhiko immediately thought of countless scenes of love and murder in his mind, and pointed at Mr. Kanaya.
"Don't talk nonsense, okay!"
When Jin Gufeng heard that he was so far-fetchedly identified as the murderer, he suddenly became anxious and yelled loudly.
"If it is because of this motive, then Ida fisherman is suspicious...because Ida and Shirane were originally an unmarried couple determined by their parents..."
Kiriko Shirane also defended Kanaya Mineto: "Moreover...I have nothing to do with Ejiri anymore, because we divorced three years ago..."
"Huh? Why?" Ayumi asked in confusion.
"There are many reasons..." Shirone Kiriko seemed unwilling to talk about this matter in detail. She leaned slightly and said to Ayumi, "But we both like fishing very much, so we occasionally invite Kanaya to go fishing together.
…”
"I see..." Yuan Huaiyu nodded, "I have to say, the children's intuition is quite accurate..."
He looked at Kanaya Mine, whose face had begun to change drastically: "Mr. Kanaya, although I don't know why you wanted to kill Mr. Ejiri, but it must have something to do with the relationship between you just mentioned...
"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jin Gufeng was like the most common person in Ke Xue's world who had the facts of a crime exposed, relying on a tough stance to try his best to cover up his guilty conscience.
He shouted loudly: "Why do you say it was me! There was such a long distance between me and Ejiri just now, how did I poison him?"
"Yeah... According to the fishing position at that time, I was on the far right, Kanaya was about twenty or thirty meters to my left, and Ejiri was sitting at the end of the corner brick between the two of us. It should be unlikely that he would have the opportunity to blatantly
Poison, right?”
Shirone Kiriko also raised questions and wanted to defend her friend.
"Don't be impatient. Since I dare to say this, I'm not saying it out of thin air." Yuan Huaiyu shrugged.
"Since we are so far away from Mr. Ejiri, wouldn't it be enough to put poison on your own fishing hook and then find a way to make the hook scratch Mr. Ejiri's skin?"
"But if you want to break the skin with a hook, it depends too much on luck, right? Even the most advanced anglers will find it difficult to do this on their own initiative..."
Shirone Kiriko said immediately.
In her opinion, the fishing hook sank under the water and floated with the current. If Ejiri hadn't taken the initiative to pick up the poisonous fishing hook and then scratched himself, then it would be completely nonsense to poison Ejiri in this way.
"But there is a way to make the other party take the initiative to fish out their own hooks and lines, and it's a matter of course..."
Yuanhuaiyu made a gesture of intertwining his hands: "If Mr. Kanaya's fishing line and Mr. Ejiri's fishing line get tangled together during fishing... what should we do?"
"I understand!" Mitsuhiko reacted quickly, "In order to untie the tangled fishing lines, you must touch the fishing hook with your hand!"
"That's right... Mr. Kanaya deliberately let his fishing line get tangled with Mr. Ejiri's, and then when Mr. Ejiri picked up the two people's fishing lines to untie them, he took the opportunity to pull his own fishing rod, causing the toxin-coated hook to hit Ejiri.
The gentleman was caught off guard and cut his hand, poisoning him."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuan Huaiyu said.
"But won't the toxins dissolve or be washed away if they are soaked in seawater for a period of time?" It was Miyano Akemi who raised the question this time, who had been silent.
Yuan Huaiyu thought to himself that he was flattering, and continued following her words: "Yes, just by applying toxin, the toxin will not necessarily stay firmly on the hook... but if there is paste, it is a different matter."
"paste?"
"Yes, mix the toxins with the paste, and then apply it on the fishing hook. After it dries, it will solidify, which can prevent the toxins from being washed away by sea water."
Yuanhuaiyu stared at Jin Gufengren: "The evidence is that when I sent Mr. Ejiri to the fishing boat just now, I found that there were traces of starch on his left sleeve, and there was also a mark on his left wrist that was hooked by something.
of scars.”
He added: "In addition, when Mr. Ejiri was fishing, he set up a rack on the left and right sides, but I just noticed that the rack on the left has fallen into the sea. This should be because when the prisoner was pulling the fishing line, his hands
The fishing rod you were holding, and the fishing line wrapped around you, Mr. Kanaya, was also pulled away, and the rack holding the fishing rod also fell into the water."
"As long as you hang more poisonous hooks on the fishing line and deliberately let the fishing line drift with the direction of the sea current, it will easily become tangled. If you install bait on the poisonous fishing hook, even when you pull up the fishing rod,
Seeing a lot of fishing hooks doesn’t make anyone suspicious.”
"When the fishing lines become tangled together, the prisoner only needs to say 'I'm sorry' from a distance. Without much communication, Mr. Ejiri will 'consciously' separate the tangled fishing lines with his hands."
Everyone finally understood the murderer's method of committing the crime. Haiyuan Ai looked at Jin Gufeng and said: "The direction of the water flow should be from left to right. In other words, you who are fishing not far to the left of Mr. Ejiri are the only ones who can use this
A man of tricks.”
"Also, if it weren't for the fact that a fish happened to take the bait, we wouldn't have discovered anything unusual about Mr. Ejiri, because according to you, Mr. Ejiri didn't speak much before he caught the big fish."
Miyano Akemi also sharply pointed out the method used by Kanaya Mine people to escape guilt: "If we don't find anything unusual, if time goes on, other people may come over in other boats, and then the suspects will also be there."
More and more, not to mention that Ms. Shirane can prove that Mr. Kanaya, you have never touched Mr. Ejiri at all... This is why you said that you would go fishing somewhere else in the afternoon."
"But if you are scratched by a fishhook, shouldn't you scream? You probably haven't heard any screams..." Jin Gufeng's face was covered with sweat, and he was making the final struggle.
"So you should have already calculated the time to pull the hook..." Yuanhuaiyu walked forward and stood in front of Jingu Fengren, "When the boat coming to pick us up is approaching. The boat will make quite a loud noise.
If we take action at that time, Mr. Ejiri's screams will be covered up. Moreover, the boat is coming from the left, so everyone turned to look at the direction of the boat and will not notice Mr. Ejiri at all."
He quickly added: "If you want to ask me what evidence can prove all this...the toxins and paste on your hook, as well as the blood stains left when you hooked Mr. Ejiri, are not that easy.
It can be dealt with in a short time..."
After hearing this, Jin Gufeng finally sat down on the breakwater weakly and lowered his head, looking like he was appointed.
"Jin Gu...can I ask why this is? Why do you want him..."
Shirone Kiriko looked at Kanaya's look and immediately understood that the reasoning just now should be true.
She looked at Jin Gu with great confusion: "Didn't the three of us go drinking together last time?!"
"It was that time... when you left the meeting, I asked him the reason why you two divorced... He said that his career had just started and he was under a lot of pressure. He couldn't control it and had an affair. After you knew about it, you
He gave up..."
An angry expression gradually appeared on Jin Gufeng's face: "And he also said that whether it is a company, fish or women, it is better if they are all fresh..."
He looked at Shirone Tongzi: "Because Shirone, you are my goddess... He actually said such words so ruthlessly, which made me very sick..."
"Idiot..." Unexpectedly, Shirone Tongzi quickly interrupted him, "The reason why he divorced me was entirely for my own good..."
"At that time, his company was almost bankrupt. For this reason, he borrowed a lot of money to start a new business, and then he knelt down and begged me to divorce him... He said that if it failed again, I would also bear his responsibility.
debt……"
"I originally wanted to work with him and his wife to tide over the difficulties, but he was very stubborn, and I just wanted to concentrate on writing articles about cooking, so I agreed..."
"Although what he said is quite irritating, the affair is definitely fiction."
Yuanhuaiyu smiled and said nothing. He knew that the "new woman" Ejiri mentioned was actually Kiriko Shirane. As the saying goes, "the truly fresh fish is the fish that swims freely in the sea."
As for this, he believed that the three of them would make it clear to themselves later.
Looking at the Jingufeng people who were filled with regret after learning the truth and wanted to fight for the land with their heads, he smiled and said:
"Don't worry... Dr. A Li has just sent me a message, saying that Mr. Ejiri has almost recovered. He asked me to tell you that you must catch a fresh, lively big fish for him today, so that everyone can stop talking nonsense.
It’s even.”
"Oh, by the way, he has already told the police and doctors that he was stung by a puffer fish."
He glanced at Jin Gufeng, who almost stopped crying, then turned around and walked to the other end of the breakwater.
"Okay, now that the matter here is settled, it's time to deal with another important matter."
Yuantai was still fighting the fish in the sea at this time. Even though his strength and stamina were far stronger than those of his peers, he was sweating profusely and could hardly hold on anymore.
Yuan Huaiyu came from behind and helped Yuantai grab the fishing rod steadily.
After receiving the help, Yuantai immediately relaxed and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The best way to catch this kind of fish is to keep the fish on the water surface, let it contact the air as much as possible, so that it slowly weakens and finally pulls it up again. Otherwise, if you apply force suddenly, it may make it fight hard and break free from the hook.
escape."
Yuan Huaiyu's voice sounded, and several other people gathered around.
Miyano Akemi was very surprised, because she remembered that fish seemed to be biting the bait on Genta's side from the very beginning.
"This must be a big deal..."
After Yuantai rested for a while and recovered some strength, Yuanhuaiyu returned the fishing rod to Yuantai's hand.
He said in an encouraging tone: "Come on, at this time, you still have to fight until the last moment to get the most sense of accomplishment, right?"
Yuantai pictured Dr. A Li's kind face in his mind, gritted his teeth, and nodded heavily.
After several more minutes, the force coming from the fishing line finally began to weaken significantly. After waiting until it was almost done, Yuantai suddenly exerted force on his hand and took advantage of his unpreparedness to pull hard.
A big fish that looked extremely fat was constantly bouncing in mid-air, with water droplets flying off its body, reflecting the bright sunlight.
