Chapter Eighty-Fifth Someone is playing tricks

  Du Ming caught four or five big fish, all of which were knocked unconscious on the stone and brought back to Yun Cai and Bai Mei's side.

  At this time, two drivers also came back, each holding a large handful of dry withered branches.

  The co-pilot said, "It's quite dry here, and these withered branches are pretty easy to find."

  Du Ming nodded, piled the dry branches on the ground, picked up some dry leaves and placed them next to the branches, and dug a hole in one of the branches with his Swiss Army knife.

  After digging the hole, Du Ming chose a thin wooden stick and poked it into the small hole, making an effort to drill into it.

  Drilling wood for fire requires a lot of strength and physical energy, requiring extremely rapid and powerful friction between two pieces of wood.

  Du Ming's strength and physical strength were naturally not a problem, his hands flew quickly for a moment, and sparks emerged from below, the sparks splashed onto the dry leaves, and they ignited with a whoosh.

  Du Ming used the wooden stick in his hand to sweep all the dry branches and leaves around him to the place where the fire was lit, and soon the flames were burning with a "whoosh".

  Du Ming instructed the two drivers, "You two watch the fire, block the wind, don't let the wind extinguish the fire."

  Two drivers nodded hastily, Du Ming took out the Swiss Army knife again, went into the woods to cut some slightly thicker and sturdier branches, used the knife to trim off the excess twigs, then used a awl to poke holes, made a rack, and placed it above the bonfire.

  Du Ming sharpened a few more branches and strung the fish he had caught onto them, placing them on the rack.

  Yun Cai looked at the roasted fish and asked Du Ming weakly, "Du Ming, I'm thirsty, what to do..."

  Du Ming waved his hand, "It's okay, you have water there, drink it."

  "But aren't we on a deserted island with a lack of water sources..."

  "It's okay," Du Ming said calmly. "I'm here, I can find freshwater for you, don't worry about drinking it. And by the way, I want that bottle of yours."

  The four people immediately looked at Yuncai's box, and after being busy all the way, everyone was already thirsty.

  Yun Cai took out the water and drank two mouthfuls, then handed it to Bai Mei Gui. Bai Mei Gui also drank two mouthfuls and handed it to the two drivers. The two drivers each took a few big gulps and finished off the bottle of water.

  When they finished drinking, Du Ming took away the bottle and ran to the seaside to fill it with half a bottle of seawater before coming back.

  Du Ming put the seawater next to the shelf, after a while, he picked up the bottle, opened it and found that the water inside had almost evaporated, leaving behind some crystalline salt.

  Du Ming used a small knife to cut open the fish meat, making many incisions, and sprinkled salt grains into the meat.

  After a while, the fish was golden brown. Du Ming took down several fish from the rack and handed one to each person, "There's only salt for seasoning, you guys make do with it."

  Yun Cai grew up in a big family like the Yun's, and had never experienced being stranded on a deserted island, starting a fire by hand to roast fish. Yun Cai looked at the roasted fish in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then took a bite.

  Du Ming's culinary skills are really impressive, and the fish roasted in this environment is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrance that overflows, and the sprinkled salt is just right, making the fish have some savory flavor, which complements the fresh taste of the wild fish itself, it's surprisingly delicious, of course, it may also be because the four people are all starving, and everything tastes good.

  There were six fish in total, five people each ate one, Yun Cai and Bai Mei Gui were full, the remaining one was stared at by two drivers with blue light in their eyes, Du Ming said helplessly, "I won't eat anymore, you two share it."

  The two of them were overjoyed and brought the fish over, tearing it in half and eating it.

  Du Ming asked, "Come to think of it, I still don't know what your names are."

  The driver said, "I'm Zhao Tianxue," and then he pointed to the co-driver, "This is Qian Hongwen."

  Du Ming nodded and said, "Are you two the exclusive airplane drivers for the Yun family?"

  Zhao Tianxue said, "Not really, we have opened private planes for many big families, but cooperating with the Yun family is the most."

  Du Ming looked at the two people, his face sank, "You two can tell me the truth, this time the plane encountered an unexpected situation, you two really didn't know about it beforehand?"

  Huang Wen heard this and became unhappy, shouting "What are you talking about?! If we knew the plane was going to crash, would we still be on it?! Are we trying to kill ourselves?!"

  Zhao Tianxue also said, "Yes, how can we possibly know that the aircraft parts are problematic and still fly the plane? Are we crazy?"

  Du Ming furrowed his brow and looked at their expressions. The two people didn't seem to be lying, so he nodded, "Alright, I'll believe you for now."

  Yun Cai heard the implication in Du Ming's words and asked him, "Du Ming, do you mean... that this plane crash wasn't an accident, but was caused by human factors?"

  "Right," Du Ming nodded and said, "When I drove before, I simply checked the various parts of the plane. These parts won't go bad for no reason. Your Yun family is such a big family, and private planes can't be without regular maintenance? How could so many parts lose control at the same time? I think this thing is 80% man-made, someone has tampered with the plane's parts."

  White Rose was stunned and said, "Someone has tampered with the plane's parts? Who, who could have done such a thing?"

  Du Ming shook his head, "I don't know about that," he looked at Yun Cai, "When was the last time this plane flew?"

  "Last time was last month, and it was also driven by Qian Hongwen and me. It's the plane that Yun Jia Ershu sat on."

  Du Ming nodded and asked Yun Cai, "This time you're going to Le'an City, how many people know?"

  Yun Cai furrowed his brow and said, "Many people know that this time I am also representing the Yun family to negotiate with others, everyone in the Yun family knows that I will be taking a plane."

  Du Ming sighed, "That widens the scope even more. Everyone in the Yun family could be a suspect now. Do you have any enemies in the Yun family?"

  Yun Cai said helplessly, "Last time you came to our house and saw it for yourself. Since my mother fell ill, the Yun family has been fighting for power and seeking personal gain. I've always been a thorn in their side, and many people who seem friendly on the surface actually want to get rid of me."

  "But after you helped me cure my mother's illness last time, the situation has improved a lot. After all, I am also the master of the Yun family now."

  Du Ming was even more frustrated, "Then how can we investigate this? Forget it, we definitely won't be able to figure it out now. When we get back, I'll conduct a thorough investigation and must catch the mastermind behind this!"
