TISHW 56




Chapter 56 Team Building 16

Jiang Yu turned around and prepared to get off the roof, deciding on out of sight, out of mind.

While Qin Shiyu was a little surprised. Usually when he did this, the people around him would either get angry or educate him. Jiang Yu didn't show any signs of it and didn't care at all? But she was obviously very anxious just now.

He was a little curious and followed her off the roof. Jiang Yu was already observing the environment of the west bedroom, pointing to a dent on the balcony fence, "This scratch mark should have been caused when the gun fell." 

As she said this, she leaned forward and looked down again, "Have to go to the lake to look for it."

Qin Shiyu held onto the balcony railing with both hands, as if he was about to jump down, "It would be faster to go down directly from here."

Jiang Yu turned around and walked out, "You jump, I'll take a detour."

Qin Shiyu stopped jumping, "You won't come with me?"

Jiang Yu didn't even stop, "I'm sorry, I don't have the ability like you."

Qin Shiyu:......

【Hahaha, God Yu means you won’t watch me jump? 】

【Did Elder Sister Yu really understand it wrong or did she do it on purpose? 】

【I think she misunderstood, because I saw her rolling her eyes. She probably really thought this request was unreasonable. 】

【Jiang Yu: This lunatic actually wants to drag me to jump off the building together. 】

【Hahahaha, the way God Yu is choked is so funny. Is he that crazy? He’s really going to jump down? 】

【I can’t say for sure. He actually jumped once. It wasn’t the second floor, but almost the same. In the first episode, they had to go up and down a high cliff to find clues. Others were looking for ladders, he found it troublesome and jumped down. 】

【Yes, yes, one of God Yu‘s high spec. That’s where I started to be a fan of his. I like that crazy trait. 】

【However, it should not be allowed. If something goes wrong, the program team cannot bear the responsibility. 】

Qin Shiyu did not jump, and leisurely followed Jiang Yu out, "Aren't you worried that I will get hurt?"

Jiang Yu found him confusing, "You think you will be hurt and will still jump?"

Qin Shiyu said, "There will always be accidents."

Jiang Yu said, "Then it depends on your own choice." 

She looked at Qin Shiyu and said, "The study god of University B will never be stupid enough to do something not worth it, right?"

Qin Shiyu was stunned for a moment. Then he instantly smiled as he read these words, "Do you believe me so much?"

Jiang Yu was not interested in this topic and nodded perfunctorily, "En."

Anyway, in the book, he was fine and unhurt until the end. He definitely never did anything he was unsure of. Just don’t perform them in front of her.

The two of them left the yard and went directly around to the west side. They walked under the window of the west bedroom toward the lake. Sure enough, they found a narrow road that was overgrown with weeds without any obstacles. This location cannot be said to be a coincidence.

After walking for more than a minute, they arrived at the lake.

Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen were there. Jian Cang and Shu Hua were asking them who got the treasure map.

The two people had obviously already discussed it and said nothing to anyone. They looked at the curious two people scratching their heads and jumping around with a smile on their faces.

Jian Cang said angrily, "Elder Brother Ye, where is your aloof style?"

Shu Hua was also fuming, "Elder Brother Chen, why are you learning bad? How detestable."

Xiang Chen grinned to the point his eight teeth were revealed and said nothing. When he saw Jiang Yu, he handed her 5 points.

Jiang Yu was confused.

Xiang Chen said, "Zhou Feifei gave it. She rode the bicycle away."

Shu Hua was curious, "Oh, wasn't she not going to use it?"

Xiang Chen didn't know either, "She asked me for it after I came back. Maybe she had some other strategy?"

None of them knew that Zhou Feifei took the fake treasure map seriously and naturally couldn’t guess that she went to verify the treasure map and found out that it was fake. So she had to come back to find evidence of Wang Yi's death.

Since they couldn’t figure it out, they stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, they could all see that Zhou Feifei was gaining Qin Shiyu's favor without leaving any trace. So for Qin Shiyu’s sake, she wouldn’t betray them to verify the truth on her own. That was enough.

The group dispersed and searched for clues on the lake beach. The lake beach here was relatively remote. Except for two or three fishing spots, there were stones and tidal flats. No one had any clue for a while.

Shu Hua turned over the stones for a while. Feeling hot, she took off her shoes and socks and stepped into the lake water. She sighed happily and bent down to find something interesting, "If we catch a fish, it's ours, right?"

Jian Cang laughed at her and said, "What are you dreaming about? How can you catch fish? It would be nice to touch some snails."

Shu Hua said, "How is it impossible? If the tide goes out, there might be big fish."

"Huh?" Shu Hua said suddenly, "Does this lake have tides? The water level seemed to be really receding."

Jiang Yu looked over and noticed that the water that was around Shu Hua's ankles had indeed reached her feet.

Shu Hua suddenly said, "One breath connects the lake, but only a few are eternally clear. Customer-centered simultaneously surges, current affairs and tides arise. The road turns out of the green mountains, and the birds are flying in the blue sky. The strong man’s dream has been in the eyes of everyone for several years." She said, "This is adapted from Yang Pan's "On the Qiantang River" to describe the tides of the Qiantang River."

Jian Cang responded, "Li Er's clue is related to the tide of this lake?"

Tide? As Jiang Yu was thinking, she saw the owner of the small shop walking toward this side, "Investigators, we have a new clue!"

"Witnesses said they saw Li Er being dragged into the water by a fish and taken away while he was fishing."

"Dragged away by a fish?" Shu Hua was incredulous, "This is not the sea, how could you be dragged away by a fish?"

Ye Yuanyu said speechlessly, "Even if you are in the sea, you will not be dragged away by a fish."

Shu Hua glared at him, "Don't be so arrogant, you know what I mean." 

Then she asked the shop owner, "Is there a big fish in this lake that can drag people into the water?"

The shop owner said, "Legend has it that there is a two-meter-long big fish that can eat people."

Jian Cang blurted out, "There are so many legends on your island."

Xiang Chen asked, "The witnesses didn't find it strange when they saw Li Er being dragged into the water by a fish? Didn't they rescue him in time?"

The shop owner said, "The witness was passing by and thought he was chasing the fishing rod that was dragged away by the fish and would come up soon and didn't pay it any heed. It wasn't until he heard that he had been missing for a few days that he remembered it."

Ye Yuanyu frowned and muttered, "Even if there are really strong fish, no one would be so stupid enough to choose to fall into the water to  catch a big fish over letting go."

"In what situation would a person not give up when fishing even when faced with the danger of falling into the water?"

While everyone was frowning and contemplating, they heard someone in the distance shouting, "The tide is out, get ready to collect the garbage."

Everyone was confused. The owner of the small shop said, "Oh, our Linhai Lake is connected to the sea, so there will be tides, especially in July and August. The tide rises and falls every day. When the tide goes out, a lot of garbage in the lake will be washed up on the lake beach. In order to protect the island’s environment, residents will take turns picking up garbage on the lake beach after low tide.”

As soon as the shop owner finished speaking, he heard a scream from the other side, "A dead person!"

This familiar tune...

The few people looked at each other and ran to the north beach. Compared with this remote place, the north beach was much larger. When they rushed over, the cordon had been set up and there was still a pile of messy garbage on the beach.

Zhou Feifei was already there and waved when she saw them.

They followed the owner of the small shop and saw a "corpse" lying in the cordon. The owner of the small shop knelt down and looked at the plastic doll that acted as a corpse. "En, although it is swollen due to soaking, This thin figure must be Li Er."

But everyone noticed the posture of the corpse. He held a fishing rod with two hands together to maintain strength while pulling the fish.

Shu Hua said in shock, "Didn't let go of the fishing rod even after you died? Are you so persistent?"

Xiang Chen frowned as he looked at the bent and smashed top of the fishing rod, "What caused this? This fishing rod is made of carbon fiber and is very strong. How could it be like this?"

Ye Yuanyu raised his eyebrows and thought, "Where was this body found?"

The NPC who screamed said, "It washed up after the high tide and stayed on the beach after the low tide."

After the tide receded, it wasn't only the corpse left on the beach. Jiang Yu's attention was attracted by a broken ship plank about two meters long.

"This is a small speedboat commonly used by residents on the island. It can only seat three people at most. It has an electric propeller at the back and can swim very fast once the switch is turned. It is very convenient to travel." The NPC playing the role of a resident pointed to an empty space at the end of the boat’s square iron frame and explained to Jiang Yu, "The propeller has fallen off. It is used to discharge the motor battery." 

He appeared a little confused, "This is usually sealed with an alloy box. For it to actually break to this point. Who accidentally loaded it straight on the rocks?"

Jiang Yu knelt down and observed carefully. Qin Shiyu suddenly picked up an empty mineral water bottle and handed it to her.

Jiang Yu was confused. Most of the garbage were like this on the beach.

Qin Shiyu pointed to the mouth of the mineral water bottle and said, "This."

Jiang Yu then saw that the mineral water bottle was connected to a fishing line more than one meter long and a thin plastic piece was tied to the end of the fishing line. She turned the bottle over and over.

Qin Shiyu began to examine the ship's plank carefully. Suddenly, he said, "Have you ever bought a scale?"

Jiang Yu nodded, "I have."

Qin Shiyu said, "In order to prevent power leakage, merchants will separate one pole of the battery with a plastic film. After the customer receives the goods, he can pull off the plastic film to connect the electrode and use it normally."

Jiang Yu immediately understood what he meant. The two looked at each other and found the mechanism for dragging the gun into the lake!

"I understand!" Shu Hua shouted over at the side.

Jiang Yu looked up and saw her turning around and running quickly toward the lake view courtyard, as if she was afraid that others would catch up.

Jian Cang was still puzzled, "It's not that Li Er didn't let go. It’s because he couldn't let go. How did his hand and the fishing rod stick together so tightly?"

Ye Yuanyu said, "So this is a murder. There should be something wrong with the fishing rod. And it wasn’t a big fish that dragged him into the water, but..."

"Wang Yi?" Xiang Chen thought of this, "But if it is Wang Yi, it would be too obvious. And everyone can witness Wang Yi dragging Li Er down in the water?" 

He turned to ask the owner of the small shop, "Where was Wang Yi at that time?"

The shop owner said, "He was playing mahjong with someone. Because it was too hot in the middle and he couldn't bear it. He got someone else to play for him for a while and went to take a bath himself. As a result, that person won several games. Because of this, it made a deep impression on everyone.”

"Oh, by the way, there is surveillance in the room to prove that he was there."

Ye Yuanyu stared at the lake beach and thought for a long time. Suddenly he bent down and picked up something. Then turned and walked toward the lake view courtyard.

Xiang Chen said, "Shu Hua has already gone to find evidence of Li Er's death."

Ye Yuanyu replied, "She definitely didn’t find them all." 

At this point, he suddenly grinned, "Going to get half of her points."

【Hahaha, all the members of "All Rounder" are really vindictive. Ye Yuanyu is going to take revenge on Shu Hua for always tormenting him. 】

【I can even imagine Huahua jumping up and down in anger. 】

【Pushing Ye Yuanyu to the wall in a fit of anger? 】

【Now that you said that, I find there’s something wrong. 】

【It’s over. The cold Ye Yuanyu has almost disappeared in my mind. Instead, there are all kinds of images of being □□ by Shu Hua. 】

【What's going on with you guys? Why has the screen turned yellow? 】

【Speaking of which, one uses brainpower to suppress and the other uses force to suppress. In a sense, the two of them are evenly matched. 】

Jian Cang sighed, "Elder Brother Ye was such a cold and aloof person. Now he looks like a villain."

Xiang Chen smiled, "En, it's all Shu Hua's credit."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they thought of how Ye Yuanyu was embarrassed by Shu Hua a few times.

Jian Cang said, "I'm actually a little worried that Elder Brother Ye won't be able to get points."

【Hahaha, when you say that, why am I looking forward to it? 】

【They all seem to be looking forward to it. A bunch of bad guys. 】

Xiang Chen said, "Okay, the evidence of Li Er's death probably belongs to the two of them. Now there are the treasure maps of Li Er and Wang Yi and the truth about Zhang San's death." He looked at the watch, "It's almost six o'clock. Let’s quickly finish the search and try to meet up with Shu Hua and Yuan Yu as soon as possible."

【Meet up for what? To watch the drama? 】

Jian Cang understood what he meant almost instantly, laughed, and ran toward the beach, "Hurry up!"

Jiang Yu quietly pursed her lips.
