Chapter 985 He loves her but she doesn’t love him, but she falls in love with him…?
"Hey, Ejiri!""What exactly is going on?!"
"what--!!"
The screams echoed throughout the breakwater. Fujino turned around and saw the fat fisherman falling onto the concrete cone.
"Step aside!"
Conan, who was originally a little doubtful about his life, immediately became much more alert after hearing the scream. He rushed forward and pushed away the captain who was checking the situation. After taking a closer look, he directly pried open the other's mouth and started artificial respiration.
While blowing, he shouted to the captain: "Send him to the hospital immediately by boat, he has been poisoned by neurotoxin!"
"Neurotoxin?!"
"Old...husband!"
Shirone and Kanaya, who were traveling with them, looked anxious and wanted to come over to check the situation, but Conan stopped them directly: "Everyone stay away, the murderer is among us!"
"what?"
The two looked confused.
Fujino took out the medical kit from his personal space and asked Conan, "What's the situation?"
"It looks like a neurotoxin."
Conan lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "There is no problem with the pulse and heartbeat. It may be a brain disorder or a nerve disorder that causes breathing difficulties."
"Neurotoxins cause paralysis of the nerves and limbs, leading to shock and decline of the respiratory muscles, which in turn leads to respiratory failure caused by respiratory dysfunction, right?"
Fujino quickly searched for good medical knowledge in his mind and immediately found relevant information about neurotoxins: "I will first give him an intravenous injection of nikethamide to see if he can recover his breathing. You continue artificial respiration. If it can directly restore his respiratory muscles, I will intubate him directly."
"Nikethamide, endotracheal tube...why are you still carrying these things?"
Conan's eyebrows twitched. He was really confused. Why did Fujino carry a medicine box with him every day? What was the idea behind putting so many medicines in the medicine box? At the same time, he was a little suspicious. Where did Fujino get so many medicines from?
Fujino looked at Conan at this time, his eyes fixed: "Stop talking nonsense, I also brought adrenaline, if you are tired, I will give you an injection?"
"no need!"
Conan's face froze, as if he was recalling a painful thing that had happened before, and he immediately continued artificial respiration.
Fujino naturally would not say that he bought his medicine from some private clinics.
In Japan, there are so many private clinics that even small clinics like Shinchuji's can be considered private hospitals.
Public hospitals are of course free, but free does not mean free. Free medical care requires payment of national medical insurance. Moreover, the level of top doctors is not very high. There is a serious shortage of medical resources and staff. It is common to have to make an appointment to go to the hospital.
And sometimes, they would do some diversion operations to relieve the pressure on the hospital, or some hook deals, to divert patients to other small hospitals. Their attitude and level are just like that.
In such an environment, private hospitals naturally emerged one after another and regarded saving lives as a profitable business. Rich people who wanted quality and treatment effects would go to private hospitals for treatment.
As for the supervision of private hospitals, all I can say is that these private hospitals are prepared for or even opened by dignitaries - how can I supervise myself?
There are so many clinics that it is impossible to supervise them all.
And there are always some clinics that are not making money and need to find other ways to make a living.
Therefore, buying medicine in some slightly shady private hospitals is almost like having no conditions at all.
Fujino took out a set of syringes from the medicine box, mixed the medicine with white powder into the glass bottle of the syringe, tightened the bottle mouth and shook it, and then inserted the thin needle into Ejiri's blood vessel.
"Ok?"
Just after inserting the needle into the vein on the back of his hand, Fujino found blood on his fingers.
My acupuncture skills are pretty good...
My hamster at home didn't bleed even after I pricked it so many times.
Why is it still bleeding?
Fujino was puzzled and turned over Ejiri's hand to take a look. Suddenly he found that the source of the blood was a wound on the other's wrist.
It was a deep, long, and thin wound, and on the cuff below the wound, there were cut lines and some traces of batter.
Fujino stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind: "So that's how it is..."
"What happened to him?"
"And they say the murderer is among us. How is that possible..."
Behind them, Shirane and Kanaya looked at the fallen Ejiri and asked Fujino with anxious looks on their faces.
Fujino came back to his senses, turned around and looked at them, took out his work ID and said, "This case may be a murder. Putting aside other things, this person has been given a neurotoxin and needs to be sent to shore for rescue immediately. Although this is at sea, as a consultant, I will take over the scene temporarily."
"murder?"
"Captain, take him back first!"
Conan called out to the captain and helped him lift Ejiri up and put him on the boat.
Then, he called to Dr. Agasa and said, "Dr. Agasa, go back with him. Remember to perform artificial respiration every ten seconds."
"By the way, you should also take this infusion bottle. It can help him recover his paralyzed respiratory muscles."
Halfway through his explanation, he whispered, "At the same time, please help me keep an eye out for any strange behavior from the captain."
Dr. Agasa took the infusion bottle and looked puzzled: "Are you saying that the captain is the murderer?"
"It's just suspicion."
Conan glanced at the people behind him, then handed his anesthesia watch to Dr. Agasa: "Before the real murderer is identified, everyone may be the murderer."
"I see!"
Dr. Agasa took the watch and responded.
Fujino came to the little ones and asked Huihara Ai Ayumi and Mitsuhiko: "You just saw the body... Anyway, is this the process of discovering the case?"
Huiyuan Ai shook her head helplessly: "I was just talking to you and didn't pay attention to that side."
Ayumi raised her hand and said, "I saw it clearly. No matter how we called the uncle, he didn't respond. Then the captain went over and patted him on the shoulder, and then he fell down."
Mitsuhiko then added, "Before the captain went over, Mr. Ejiri's fishing rod suddenly fell into the sea. That's when we noticed something was wrong."
"So that's it..."
Fujino touched his chin, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
Huiyuan Ai looked up at Fujino's expression and asked, "So, do you have any idea who the murderer is now?"
"I guess so."
Fujino nodded in response, turned around, and slowly walked towards the cone rock where the crime occurred: "I'm going to go get some sea breeze and sort out my thoughts."
…………
"Mr. Ejiri is not going to die, is he?"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya looked at the ship in the distance with a worried look on his face.
"That's definitely not the case!" Ayumi was more optimistic: "With Brother Fujino here, Mr. Ejiri will be fine. Wasn't it Brother Fujino who saved Conan last time?"
"Yes..." Mitsuhiko nodded when he heard that, and he was quite impressed with Fujino's medical skills.
Huihara Ai crossed her arms and nodded in agreement, and suddenly said to Conan beside her: "If you didn't mention this, I would have almost forgotten about it. But you still owe Fujino a life..."
"..."
Conan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, and recalled the day when Fujino was behind him, stabbing his buttocks with a long, hard object, causing him pain.
No, why didn't this person just inject it into the buttocks and go directly into the intravenous injection?
So, it could have stabbed my hand at that time, right?
Although he complained, he was still very grateful deep down.
After all, he is not a beast.
No need to say anything, good brothers are in my heart!
Thinking this in his heart, he turned his head to look at Fujino, who was standing at the beach where the crime happened, with his hands in his pockets looking at the sea, and he felt a little confused again.
But what has this guy been doing at the beach since just now?
After listening to these people, he seemed to have some clues...
Damn it, even I have no clue, but this guy found the murderer ahead of time?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Mitsuhiko suddenly wondered, "But what kind of poison was Mr. Ejiri poisoned with? What kind of neurotoxin is that? And what does the Nico Chami that Brother Fujino just mentioned mean?"
"Neurotoxin is a toxin that acts on the nerves. Generally speaking, it is similar to snake venom. The poison in Ejiri seems to cause respiratory failure... If we use simpler symptoms, it is a poison that makes people unable to breathe."
"Nikethamide, whose chemical name is diethylnicotinamide, is a drug that can stimulate the respiratory center. It can relieve respiratory failure caused by poisoning and other symptoms. It is a drug that is often available in ambulances. Generally speaking, this drug is best injected through the carotid artery."
As a chemical expert, Miyano Shiho knows a lot about chemicals and poisons. She explained calmly, "Maybe they are afraid that a large amount of injection will cause serious adverse reactions and lead to the other party's immediate death, so Fujino adopted intravenous injection. After all, his condition is not serious enough to stop breathing completely, so intravenous injection combined with artificial respiration can be used to delay it..."
Mitsuhiko understood some of what he heard, and his eyes lit up as he said, "As expected of Huihara-san, you know a lot!"
Huihara Ai crossed her arms across her chest and said nothing. For a scientist specializing in drug development, she really couldn't feel proud when a child praised her for her expertise.
"..." Conan next to him glanced at Haibara Ai with dead eyes.
Big sister, you always say that my acting is not good...
Look, your acting skills are better now?
Is this knowledge that children can understand?
At this moment, Mitsuhiko suddenly noticed a blind spot: "By the way, where is Yuanta? I don't think I saw him just now?"
"He's still fishing over there." Conan glanced at Genta, who was sitting next to the embankment not far away and fishing steadily, and replied.
"It's really rare." Mitsuhiko looked over and couldn't help but sighed: "It seems that he is doing this for that matter..."
"that matter?"
"nothing……"
Mitsuhiko hesitated and changed the subject: "Anyway, before the police come and Brother Fujino has sorted out his thoughts, let's go and get the aunt and uncle to give their statements!"
"Confession?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment and thought, normally, shouldn't the consultant be the one to take our testimony?
What are you kids doing making statements?
"Don't look down on us just because we are kids!"
"We are the Junior Detective Team!"
"That's right!"
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko imitated Fujino and took out the detective armbands and showed them to the two.
"..." The two of them were ashamed.
Conan was also embarrassed by the actions of these two and slapped his forehead.
But since they are children, we should make full use of their convenience.
He said to the two of them in a childish tone: "Don't be nervous, just treat it as a pastime before the police come. We don't have anything else to do anyway!"
"That's true..."
"Then let's start with the uncle!"
Jingufengren was somewhat helpless and explained: "As for my relationship with Ejiri... we are in the same fishing enthusiasts club at the same university."
As he said this, he looked at Shirane Kiriko who was standing beside him: "She is the same. We were all in the same club back then."
Mitsuhiko pursed his chin in a pretentious manner: "If that's the case, then you guys come here to fish often?"
"Yes, it was Mr. Ida's ship that we were on."
"Then you four should be familiar companions, right?"
Shirane Kiriko nodded and said, "Yes, especially Iida and I. After all, my father was a fisherman and knew Iida's father. So we can be considered childhood sweethearts."
Ayumi thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, I think I mentioned it before. My aunt's family used to be fishermen."
"That's right. Speaking of which, because Shirone knows a lot about fish, she was very popular in our club back then." Jingufengren seemed to be recalling his good old days, and talked about it: "She can cook and is a beautiful woman. We often call her the Virgin Mary in private..."
"So you killed Ejiri?"
Ai Haibara folded her arms across her chest, looked at Jingu Fengren with narrowed eyes, and questioned in a flat tone.
After sorting out the relationships between several people, she seemed to see through everything.
He fell in love with her, but she didn't love him, and then she fell in love with him again.
It's really nothing strange and can be seen everywhere.
"what?"
Looking at the puzzled Jin Ya, Huihara Ai reasoned calmly: "Because Mr. Ejiri took Miss Shirone away, you were angry and killed him out of jealousy. Just now, Miss Shirone was so excited that she seemed to call Mr. Ejiri her husband, right?"
As she spoke, her eyes narrowed even more: "Although they may call each other that even if they are not married, generally speaking, it should be when the relationship is close to a certain extent, or even when they are engaged, that's when they call each other that way."
"So this is ah!"
Mitsuhiko, who Fujino called the male protagonist of the galgame, understood immediately and pointed at Kanaya and shouted, "You must have been jealous and resentful because Miss Shirane and Mr. Ejiri were together, so you killed Mr. Ejiri!"
"Hey, what are you talking about?!"
Jin Gu panicked: "If this is considered a motive for the crime, then Iida, my childhood sweetheart, is also a suspect. What's more, he was once Shirone's fiancé!"
"Um?!"
The little ones were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and the expressions on their faces were extremely interesting.
Haibara Ai pricked up her ears, obviously very interested in this matter.
Even his fiancée and childhood sweetheart showed up?
The relationship between these people is becoming more and more interesting?
But why does it feel a little familiar?
