Chapter 154 Doraemon—Chi!
"Then let's go verify each other's answers!" Hattori Heiji jumped up and ran off in a flurry, not forgetting to toss the watch he had removed to Conan, "Kid, I'll trouble you to help restore this!"
Conan caught the watch, "Hey, you want me to make this watch work again, how is that pos..."
Bang!
Hattori Heiji had already closed the door leading to the upper level.
"He wants you to put it back on the Corpse's wrist," Chi Feichei reminded, his expression pausing slightly. His hand, which had been hanging at his side, took out a finger-sized Round Mirror from his Pocket and quickly stuck it to the Railing beside him.
"That guy, he doesn't even speak clearly," Conan put the watch back on the Corpse's wrist, not noticing Chi Feichei's quick little movement just now. He turned his head and asked Chi Feichei, "Aren't you going to verify your Answer?"
"No need, by the time you guys finish verifying, you'll find out you're wrong," Chi Feichei said.
Conan was a bit speechless. He felt that there was something wrong with his partners' personalities. One was impulsive and quick-tempered, and the other was overly calm and wouldn't move even if his eyebrows were on fire. And both of them were damn confident.
Well, only he was normal!
"Okay, I also have something to ask. If you don't take Action, you might not even know where you went wrong with the Answer!"
Conan reminded him and ran into the Cabin.
Chi Feichei lowered his eyes and looked at the Railing in the dim Light. Dark Cloud came out again, and also...
Staring at him murderously for so long, and now that Conan was gone, was it time to make a move?
He didn't expect that his previous attempt to disrupt the Plot would attract the Culprit's animosity.
However, the other party's Skill was obviously not up to par, staring straight at someone for so long, weren't they worried about being discovered?
In the dim Corner on the other side of the Cabin, Kujirai Sadao silently extended his Gun and aimed at Chi Feichei.
He had to kill Chi Feichei, this kid was too dangerous!
Chi Feichei was still staring at the Railing, or rather, staring at the Round Mirror on the Railing, his Attention focused.
What to do when being aimed at with a Gun?
Dodge it!
As long as he could see the other party's Trigger-pulling Action and aiming Direction, before the Bullet flew out, with the fastest Action he could make...
"Be careful!"
Before the Bullet flew out, a figure ran out first, quickly pouncing towards Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei's Attention was focused on the other side. By the time he reacted, he had already been knocked over the Railing.
The Bullet flew out.
The two of them also tumbled over the Railing.
At the other end of the upper Deck, Hattori Heiji stepped over the Railing to check the Situation. Hearing someone shouting on the other side, he turned his head to look.
In the dim Light, he could vaguely distinguish two Black Shadow figures, a man and a woman, falling into the Sea.
At the same time, he also saw Kanie Korehisa, who was tied up outside the Ship.
Wrong! He and Conan were both wrong!
In other words, Chi Feichei...
Wait, the Place where those two people fell into the Sea was near where the Corpse was. He remembered that Chi Feichei was still there before he left, right?
Could it be...
Hattori Heiji was a bit confused. That's impossible, right?
Behind him, the sound of panting and Footsteps quickly approached.
Hattori Heiji turned around, holding a Flashlight. His foot that had stepped over the Railing didn't have time to step back. With a twist of his body, he dodged a stick... and successfully fell into the Water.
At the Railing, Kujirai Sadao threw the stick into the Sea, his face grim, "Detectives must all die!"
The Ship sailed forward, the Propeller at the bottom of the Ship churning the Sea water, forming a Vortex with extremely strong suction.
A piece of Seaweed drifted over, carried by the Vortex, quickly rushing towards the Propeller. In the next second, it was shredded to pieces.
Five minutes later...
Isobe Nagisa, finally free from the Vortex, gasped for breath, looked at the Ship moving away, and then turned her head to look at Chi Feichei beside her, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Chi Feichei swam on the Sea Surface, touched his Pocket, pulled a thread, and a Plastic Sheet popped out in front of the two of them. Sucking in air, it quickly inflated, turning into a small Inflatable Cushion. Seeing no signs of Injury on Isobe Nagisa's body, he reminded her, "Lie down."
"Oh..." Isobe Nagisa supported herself with both hands. With the help of the Inflatable Cushion, she could at least save some Stamina. Otherwise, in this vast Sea, she might not be able to wait for rescue even if her Stamina ran out.
Silence, speechless.
Chi Feichei didn't really want to talk. He originally wanted to tell Isobe Nagisa that she didn't need to pounce on him, he could have dodged that Bullet, and wouldn't have had to fall into the Sea...
However, Isobe Nagisa was also kind-hearted, and it could be considered that she took the Risk of being shot by a Bullet to save him. Saying such things would be a bit hurtful, so he decided to let it go.
Trying to change the Plot was indeed risky. He could easily get himself involved if he wasn't careful.
Isobe Nagisa sighed with her head lowered, "Back then, my Father was probably also shot with a Gun and fell into the Sea, right? You and him are really alike..."
"I have no Relationship with him," Chi Feichei seized the Opportunity to explain, "I am the Young Master of Shinchi Group, a Todai University Student, and I was watched over and grew up since I was a child. I'm 20 years old, it's easy to verify."
Wasn't Isobe Nagisa older than him?
"Actually, I know you're not my Father," Isobe Nagisa smiled in disappointment, "You and him are still somewhat different, I can feel it. But seeing you drinking Mockingbird, seeing you always carrying Things that others need, hearing you say that Guchuan Da is Ye Caisan, I still can't help but think of him. You said he was dead, and I believe it. Even the fact that you were facing the Muzzle with the vast Sea behind you, this point is also the same as him. I rushed forward without even thinking just now..."
Chi Feichei nodded. It was good that she didn't misunderstand. He was really afraid that Isobe Nagisa would think he was her Father, just with Plastic Surgery.
Isobe Nagisa was silent for a while again, feeling that soaking in the Sea like this was not a good idea, "Um... shouldn't we try to find a way to call for help?"
"Wait a little longer, it seems someone else has come down too." Chi Feichei looked at the Sea Surface. He had been spun around in the Vortex just now and couldn't tell which direction was which, but he saw the Light of a Flashlight flash by.
"Someone?" Isobe Nagisa looked around in confusion, and then she saw a beam of Light floating on the Sea Surface.
Chi Feichei saw the beam of Light approaching and reached out to help lift it, "If nothing unexpected happens, the only one who should be alone and on the Deck now is..."
"Cor... Correct Answer!" Hattori Heiji reached out and grabbed the Inflatable Cushion, using the leverage to lie down on it, gasping for breath for a while before recovering, "Phew... that was dangerous, I almost got sucked in. By the way, where did you guys get this thing?"
"Preparation for going to Sea," Chi Feichei said, "It pops out and inflates automatically, but I only prepared one."
"You were fiddling with these things when you left the Office?" Hattori Heiji sweated a bit, "You weren't already thinking you would fall into the Water, were you?"
Chi Feichei: "No, I was just worried about a Shipwreck."
With Conan around, anything is possible, okay?
Hattori Heiji was a bit speechless. Shipwreck was even more terrifying than falling into the Water, "What else did you prepare?"
"Small Oxygen Cylinder, but only one," Chi Feichei sat on the Inflatable Cushion, opened the Zipper of the Windbreaker Pocket, and put the Things on the Inflatable Cushion, "Waterproof Lighter, Compass, Waterproof Pen, Ultra-Small Waterproof Flashlight."
Hattori Heiji looked at the Flashlight in his hand, which was already ruined because of water damage, threw it into the Sea, and then turned his head to look at the small but useful Things on the Inflatable Cushion, "..."
He realized that Chi Feichei was really preparing for a Shipwreck!
Chi Feichei was still taking out Things.
Wasn't the Windbreaker's pocket so big just for carrying Things?
And it even had a Zipper, so he wasn't afraid of Things being washed away by the water if he fell into the Sea. Essential for traveling and Murder.
"Survival Whistle, glue, Multi-Tool Knife, Burn Ointment, Band-Aid, Disinfectant, a strip of Anti-Inflammatory Medicine, a strip of Cold Medicine, that's all."
"No wonder you didn't take off your Coat..." Isobe Nagisa stared blankly at the pile of Things on the Inflatable Cushion.
It was winter now, and they were wearing thick Clothes. After falling into the Water, their Clothes would become very heavy.
She and Hattori Heiji had quickly taken off their Coats in the Water, but only Chi Feichei hadn't taken his off.
She had thought that Chi Feichei was considering her being a woman, and seeing that Chi Feichei still had enough Stamina and also had an Inflatable Cushion, she didn't speak up to remind him.
She didn't expect that Chi Feichei's Pocket was stuffed with these Things...
Hattori Heiji stared blankly for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Hassashi, do you also have Paranoia?"
"Better safe than sorry," Chi Feichei sat on the Inflatable Cushion, took off his Windbreaker Coat and threw it into the Sea, and then took out a pile of Things from his Pants Pocket, "Isn't it coming in handy now?"
Okay...
Hattori Heiji was speechless, looking at the unknown Things Chi Feichei took out later, he could vaguely distinguish two Police Evidence Bag, Voice Recorder, Cloth Ruler...
Chi Feichei didn't have anything to hide either. After putting the Things on the Inflatable Cushion, he went back into the Water again.
If he was preparing to take Action on the Ship, the Things he brought were still a bit shady, such as the Small Bottle containing Ether, etc. In the Sea, he would have thrown those Things away long ago.
However, this time he had already given up on the Bounty, and happened to have nothing to bring, so he brought some survival supplies.
The Sea water at night was very cold. It was a pity that the Inflatable Cushion was not big, much smaller than the Inflatable Cushions rented at ordinary Seaside or swimming pools. At most, it was enough for three people to lie on it propped up on their arms, and the pile of Chi Feichei's Things had to be placed in the middle.
With a Survival Whistle and a Flashlight, it should be enough to call for help on the Sea at night.
Hattori Heiji held the finger-sized Flashlight, letting the beam of Light sway on the Sea Surface, occasionally flashing a distress Signal, "How long can the Battery last? The Water is too cold, if we soak like this, our hands and feet will stiffen sooner or later."
"About an Hour," Chi Feichei said.
Hattori Heiji quickly turned off the Flashlight, "Then I'll save it."
Isobe Nagisa occasionally blew the Survival Whistle, looked at the dark Sea, and shivered, "There aren't many ships sailing at night, and it's far from the Port here. I wonder if any ships will pass by."
On the Sea, the Inflatable Cushion drifted with the waves.
The three people lay around the edge of the Inflatable Cushion in a circle, and from time to time, Flashlight Light and whistle sounds spread far away.
Hattori Heiji waited for a while, considered it, and turned his head to ask Chi Feichei, "Brother Hassashi, didn't you bring Fresh Water and Dry Food?"
"No, those are too heavy," Chi Feichei said, "I didn't consider the Situation of not being rescued for several days."
Did he really think of him as Doraemon?
"That's right," Hattori Heiji nodded, "Although I didn't have time to leave any marks on the Ship when I fell, as long as the two of us don't show up, Conan will definitely notice. Maybe we won't even have to wait until dawn, and someone will come out to search for us..."
Chi Feichei thought for a moment, "On the Railing where I fell, I stuck a Round Mirror, maybe it's still there."
"Round Mirror?" Hattori Heiji was surprised, "What did you stick that on the Railing for?"
"I noticed a Gun aiming at me, but the distance was a bit far, and I didn't have a Gun in my hand, so I stuck a Mirror on the Railing to observe," Chi Feichei saw Hattori Heiji asking, and didn't think about whether it would be a blow to Isobe Nagisa. He decided to explain clearly, so as to avoid someone pouncing on him again in the future, "By seeing the Direction of the Muzzle clearly, before he pulled the Trigger, that Bullet could be dodged. Taking advantage of the recoil of his Gun and a moment of negligence, with my Speed, it would be enough to get close to seize the Gun or find Coverings to hide."
It could have been a very cool counter-kill, but it ended in failure with falling into the Sea...
Isobe Nagisa: "..."
Did she do something wrong?
