Chapter 129: The Truth of Eating Sashimi
Old Bruce took a break at noon, and Fors and Cons had a traditional naval delicacy: sashimi. Then they were asked to continue working, which required them to take out their police credentials and collect a list of all the sea fish that entered and left the street within a week.

The task was arduous, complicated, and useless. Because Backlund had well-developed transportation and was relatively close to the sea, a large number of marine fish were transported from Pritz Harbor every day. To know which marine fish was eaten by Qilingos... was a bit outrageous.

But the three of them were still collecting data very seriously, which made Old Blue feel a little embarrassed. Even Miss Salty Fish was working hard! What happened to this world?
Old Bruce sighed and took a sip of coffee. Well, he was responsible for analyzing the data and all he needed to do was sit in the cafe.

“Xiu! Come on, we have seen the light at the end of the tunnel!” Fors was full of fighting spirit, and his usual laziness had completely disappeared.

"...Fors, are you Fors? Or are you possessed by an evil spirit? Let's go to Old Blue to apply for the church's exorcism ceremony?" Xio looked a little terrified.

"What are you talking about! The target pirate is right in front of us! Gold pounds! Rewards! And rewards from the church!" Fors raised his fist and waved it. Master of Magic! Promotion!
"I don't quite understand... I'm just following Mr. Blue's instructions. Ms. Wall, do you have any advice? Can you give me some pointers? Are you saying that we are getting closer to our goal?" Cons was also a little confused. He believed in Old Blue, but still wanted to know the reason behind it.

After several hours of "sharing hardships" and having a meal together, the three seemed to be much more familiar with each other. They introduced their identities to each other, such as best-selling author, aristocratic child, and arbitrator in the East District, and they got along quite well.

Fors raised her chin slightly. It seemed that she was the smartest one in the three-person team. Not to mention Xio, even the agents of MI9 and the children of the nobles were not as good as her! She said in a brisk tone:
"Of course you can. Actually, Old Blue, well, he told us to call him that. It's not disrespectful! Old Blue has planned everything. He's just waiting for us to hand over the data to him. Then he can directly deduce the location of the pirates!"

…Xiu and Cons looked at each other, and realizing that the other didn’t understand, they looked at the writer with relief.

“Oh, I can tell from your expressions that you don’t understand. Let me put it this way, think carefully about what we had for lunch! What did Old Blue say during the meal! And what was the description of the pirate in the information!” Fors suddenly felt that it was so refreshing to guide others to think about the answers that he already knew!
"At noon, Old Bruce chose a fish shop, bought a big sea fish, sliced ​​it into very thin sashimi by himself and placed it on a plate... Well, although it tasted good, I still couldn't accept this way of eating..." Xio still prefers fried fish.

"No, no, on the contrary, I feel that the sashimi dipped in soy sauce perfectly preserves the freshness of the fish and removes the already light fishy smell... Old Blue's perfect knife skills make the fish meat melt in the mouth. It is simply a delicacy on earth... I can't look directly at the fish dishes I have eaten before, especially the one with the fish head placed on the plate with the eyes facing up..." Cons was a little resistant to the traditional dish and was very accepting of this way of eating sashimi.

"..." Fors thought that all the nobles were the same. It was okay for Hugh, but was there something missing in Cons's brain? She said helplessly:
"Stop! Don't think about whether the dish is delicious or not. When Old Blue was slicing the fish, he said that many marine fish are not suitable for making sashimi. It's just that when you are at sea, you can't fish or catch specific fish as you wish, so you can only eat what you catch.

"The sashimi we had for lunch was very delicious, because that fish was carefully selected by Old Blue! He said: In an international metropolis like Backlund, they would definitely choose the most suitable fish for making sashimi, and this tuna, um, should it be a kind of dragon bone fish? This kind of fish is the most suitable! It is also the most expensive! Well, I secretly saw him pay, took a 10-pound note, and didn't give change.

"The target pirate's description is that he likes to eat fish very much, especially fish from the ocean, which he slices and eats raw.

"Now you understand, don't you? When the target is Backlund, if conditions permit, we will definitely choose tuna! Its production is not large, the price is expensive, and the destination of its flow has been roughly determined..."

hiss--

Hugh and Cons both took a deep breath. Old Blue's ideas were wild and unique! And Fors was also a person of great wisdom! But Ms. Hugh/Mr. Cons was... well, at the level of a normal person.

Then, Hugh's eyes lit up, as if he saw himself receiving gold pounds from Miss Audrey and the "Sheriff's" potion from the church!

Cons was very excited. He seemed to see the MI9 agents of the same period looking at him with envy, and the Viscount father saying to him: You are worthy of being my son!

"Let's go! Let's continue working! We must finish collecting data before dinner! We must try to destroy the pirates' lair at night!" Xiu was murderous.

"That's right! We don't have such smart brains, but these preliminary work can still be done quickly!" Cons finally admitted that he was not that smart.

Seeing that these two people finally understood, Fors felt a sense of pleasure in looking down on everyone in terms of intelligence. Well, although he could also look down on Xio in terms of height...

Old Blue looked at the three pairs of bright eyes in front of him, and his mouth twitched. What did it mean? After a day of dirty work, you are still so excited? A masochist? Or, how about continuing tomorrow?
"Mr. Blue, the data you need is already here, especially the tuna you mentioned. I asked Fors to mark it all with a red pen! As expected, its production and price determine its consumer group! Um, of course, I still can't see anything..." Xio said as he handed over a thick stack of lists.

"What? Tuna... Oh, you... figured it out?" Old Blue was very unsure what they had figured out. Was there something wrong with eating tuna sashimi?
"Sure enough! You are intentionally hinting that we should look in this direction... We are too slow!" Kang Si was full of admiration. He had only spent less than two days with this old man, but he had already sensed his hidden wisdom, and he was willing to guide the younger generation...

"Well, of course, I do mean that... It's great that you understand." What am I hinting at? Someone who understands can explain it to me... Old Blue felt like he was possessed by the Bone King. Why did everyone around him become "Dihua"? He obviously didn't want to pretend! He decisively looked at another person present, the best-selling author Fors, with a questioning look in his eyes, as if asking her: Do you understand? Tell me about it.

Fors showed joy on her face, picked up a certain list marked in red and said:

“My experience of writing novels in the past two years has taught me that if you grasp the key, things will become simple.

“Mr. Blue put this crucial clue in front of us. Now, even we can find the anomaly in it.

"In Loon, dragon bone fish is mainly fried or deep-fried. In addition, its price is not low, so many fresh fish shops prefer to provide seasonings, such as fennel, peppercorns, rosemary, etc. Such services can increase sales and make a profit.

"Please look at this list. This is the shipping record of the Fish Fork Fresh Fish Shop. In the past month, they sold a total of 40 tuna, 35 of which came with seasoning. However, starting a week ago, the one that was sold every day was sold separately. According to the clerk, the buyer actively refused the seasoning!

"What's puzzling is that the customer who bought fresh fish alone has not appeared in the past two days. Maybe the target left? Or what? I can't understand this...

"There were two other companies that sold tuna individually, but only occasionally. The one without the spear was obviously..."

Shit… Old Blue was stunned. This is possible? How did you not get caught, Qilingos? Living in the house of a debtor baron and eating tuna sashimi every day? !

That was not the case two days ago! Qilingos became Qibulu two days ago!

What should I do? Should I lead the team to capture Zibulu? Or should I report to the God's Pigeon and fly over?

Old Bruce swallowed his saliva and exclaimed:
"As expected of the author of the recent bestseller Stormy Heights, your analysis is very reasonable and says everything I want to say.

"There is one last step. How do you think we should confirm the identity of the buyer? I think you should have asked the clerks of those three stores, right? Haha, there are so many customers passing by here every day, the clerks' descriptions are bound to be biased."

Fors and the other two were stunned. Could it be that this path that already showed hope was still blocked?
After a few seconds, Conse hesitated and said:

"Perhaps...we can ask for help from divination? Uh, magic mirror divination or something like that."
