Chapter 70: The fleeing dolphins are intercepted and brought aboard the ship.

Gu Yiliu rolled over, looking troubled. "Dian Dian, what do you think we should do?"

Dian Dian: "If we're going to save the white dolphins, we definitely have to save these people."

In the darkness, Gu Yiliu looked at the ceiling and understood what Dian Dian meant.

Help! We need to save this person!

Gu Yiliu: "Let's talk about it when it's light."

Dian Dian hummed in agreement, "I'll upgrade after I've dealt with this matter."

The next day, Gu Yiliu went to the Haiwan Police Station to talk to Yu Ming for a while.

"How can you be so sure my sister is at sea? Just because a whale told you?" Yu Ming wasn't disbelieving, and he hadn't lost his mind.

“The TV station director Fan Shuqi and reporter Hong Shengnan can testify that I spoke with many whales and sharks when we went out to sea.”

Yu Ming frowned; he knew all of this. Even yesterday, after Gu Yiliu was taken away by her boyfriend, he had seen the report about her being able to speak animal language.

"Moreover, regardless of whether your sister is here or not, there are people posing as legitimate fishing boats and engaging in illegal fishing in the sea area more than 1,300 kilometers away. Moreover, they have escaped from Huidong City, and there are many people being held captive on the fishing boats. Therefore, your Haiwan Police Station must take charge of this matter. On behalf of our Shuikou Street Police Station in Yaohai City, I would like to cooperate with you in handling this case."

Yu Ming took a deep breath. For the sake of a certain hope in his heart, he made a decision: "Wait a moment, I'll have our director come and talk to you."

The head of the Haiwan Police Station is named Lin Pengkai. After listening to Gu Yiliu's words, he told him some information that Gu Yiliu did not know: "Many people have gone missing near Turtle Bay, and even in other parts of the city. There are both men and women who have gone missing."

As the director, he had access to more information; the number of missing persons was too high, and if the problem wasn't resolved, they would be held accountable. Moreover, even he himself feared that one day his own family members might join the ranks of the missing.

Lin Pengkai frowned, forming a deep line between his brows. "Now that you mention it, perhaps the men and women who went missing near Turtle Bay and in the city are all on that fishing boat."

"It's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't," Lin Pengkai slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. "I'll arrange for someone to go out to sea with you to look for the person. If we find them, we'll be happy. If we don't, it just means the missing person isn't at sea."

"Since you are police officers from Yaohai City, can your station send a few people with you?"

“Two,” Gu Yiliu said with a smile, handing over the letters of introduction approved by Tang Shishen. These were given to her by Han Yi. When Hong Shengnan made the long-distance call, he sensed that something was amiss and considered all the possible scenarios.

To prepare for the worst, Han Yi went to Tang Shishen and obtained two letters of introduction for handling the case.

Lin Pengkai nodded, took the letter of introduction, and left. That afternoon, he returned to find Gu Yiliu. In half a day, he checked the missing persons' past movements; they had all disappeared while looking for work or after being led astray by passersby. Nine out of ten had been searched for a long time without success. All signs indicated that the missing persons might no longer be in Huidong City.

Therefore, his support for searching for the missing person at sea grew even stronger.

"We'll set sail at 8 a.m. tomorrow to search for the person. The search will last for a month. We'll come back when we find them."

The next day, Gu Yiliu, Han Yi, and eight plainclothes police officers formed a 10-person search team and set sail.

The direction the ship was heading was provided by Gu Yiliu.

The first day was calm. On the second day, whales, turtles, and dolphins began to appear.

However, none of them were white dolphins asking for help.

Gu Yiliu stopped the boat; she wanted to ask the passing dolphins.

Just by shouting, Gu Yiliu couldn't get the passing dolphins to notice them, so he asked Dian Dian for help.

Anyway, since DianDian is a global consciousness, it must have a way to do it. After a while, we heard DianDian say, "It's done."

Gu Yiliu called out to a black and white dolphin, "Dolphin, can you come here for a moment?"

"If I just call out like that, will it come over?"

Some people have doubts.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Okay."

He believed that Gu Yiliu could do it.

Everyone else remained skeptical.

However, after Gu Yiliu shouted, the others saw the dolphins swimming towards them.

They quickly swam up to their boat and called out.

Everyone except Gu Yiliu and Han Yi was speechless.

The dolphins were actually called over!

Everyone's faces were filled with shock and amazement.

"Eee-oh-oh-oh, ee-oh-oh-oh?"

Huh? How did I get here? Are you Officer Gu? Oh, how did I know you were Officer Gu? What do you need me for?

Some people looked around at the sea and saw other dolphins. Because they had been amazed by Gu Yiliu, some people wanted to try calling a dolphin over.

Pointing to another black and white dolphin, someone asked Gu Yiliu, "Officer Gu, can we call them over too?"

Gu Yiliu looked at the sea and saw mostly black and white dolphins, with no white ones. She guessed that these were two different groups, or perhaps the captured dolphins were white ones. She sighed.

"You can give it a try."

Everyone looked at each other, then at each other, and asked, "Who wants to try first?"

“Me!” Yu Ming stepped forward.

"Dolphin, can you come here for a second? I have something to ask you."

The shouts dissipated across the vast sea.

Only the gentle sea breeze remained, signifying boundless tranquility.

"..."

The dolphins fleeing for their lives were completely baffled.

Why is this person yelling at it? Is it trying to catch them?

The dolphins, startled by this thought, wished they had wings and swam away as fast as they could, wanting to get away from the vicinity of the ship.

As for the dolphin that was approaching the ship, they were too busy with their own problems to care.

Suddenly, the calls of dolphins echoed across the sea, carried far and wide by the waves and sea breeze.

"Eee-oh-oh-oh, ee-oh-oh-oh!"

Swim fast, swim fast! These people are trying to kill the dolphins!

"Officer Gu, are they talking?"

Gu Yiliu nodded with a smile.

She smiled again as people asked her curiously what the dolphins were saying.

"I guess these dolphins are saying 'Run!'" Gu Yiliu didn't speak; it was Han Yi who said it.

Even though he couldn't understand what the dolphins were saying, seeing them all running towards the shore, he knew something was wrong. These dolphins were most likely being hunted.

Gu Yiliu also realized the problem, and she nodded in agreement with Han Yi's words, "Let me ask the dolphin first." She spoke up to bring the topic back, and everyone quieted down.

The dolphin that Gu Yiliu had summoned stopped in front of the ship, looked up at Gu Yiliu on the deck, and was having a mental battle.

It remembered that it was swimming this way to find a very beautiful Officer Gu, and it even remembered what Officer Gu looked like. But the dolphin was actually very confused. It seemed that it had never met a human before, but its memory told it that it knew one.

The memories in its mind told it that it had heard from the sea turtles that Officer Gu was a human being very friendly to marine life.

The dolphin thought and thought but couldn't figure it out. It shook its head, and the surrounding seawater kept splashing against its face.

"Eeohohoh!" If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it.

Gu Yiliu looked at the dolphin with amusement and shook his head. "I wanted to ask you, besides our ship, have you seen any other ships recently?"

"Eeohoh!" I've seen it before.

"What is it saying?" Yu Ming asked.

"It said it had seen other ships pass by."

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, waiting for Gu Yiliu to continue asking questions.

"They're the ones arresting you, aren't they?" Gu Yiliu asked again.

The dolphin was taken aback. "Ee-ooh-ooh?" How did you know?

Where did the ship go?

The dolphin didn't answer immediately, but looked them over again and again, examining each of them. "Ee-oh-oh-oh?" Officer Gu, you're not going to arrest me, are you?

Gu Yiliu shook his head, "No, I'm here to rescue the captured dolphins."

"Were all the captured dolphins Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins?"

The dolphin was somewhat pleased upon hearing this, but not overly so, since they hadn't been rescued yet. It nodded to Gu Yiliu, "Because they were captured and notified us, so we were able to escape."

"Eee-oh-oh-oh, ee-oh-oh-oh!" The people catching them are behind them, and who knows when they will catch up.

Gu Yiliu repeated the dolphin's words to the others.

"Ask it if there are many people on the boat."

The dolphin glanced at the man who interrupted, and made a soft "ooh" in response, indicating that there were a lot of people.

"Were those people captured from the shore?"

The dolphins have no idea, but many have seen them; some were brought from another boat to the fishing boats that catch them.

The dolphins informed Gu Yiliu of this discovery.

Gu Yiliu's expression turned serious after hearing this. This was a switcheroo. The ship that was used to capture people would eventually land. No matter how carefully the deployment was made, someone would still see it and know that some people were taken away by this ship. Therefore, by switching ships at sea, the people who came off the other ship would not attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Gu Yiliu nodded to Ming.

Yu Ming's face lit up with joy, which meant that his sister was very likely on the fishing boat.

But the thought of all the people adrift at sea, and what his sister would experience on the ship, made him anything but happy.

Gu Yiliu turned to the others and asked, "Do you have any fish?"

"Yes, I'll get some from the kitchen if you need it."

"The more the better."

Immediately, someone came out carrying a bucket of fish, which they had brought from the shore. However, since you can catch fish as much as you want at sea, you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat.

Gu Yiliu gestured for the dolphin to open its mouth, and the dolphin happily leaped out of the sea, splashing a large spray of water.

It opened its mouth and kept eating the fish that Gu Yiliu threw into it.

"Dolphin, thank you. Don't worry, you won't get caught. Just call me if you need anything."

"Eee-oh-oh-oh?" I'm calling you from the sea, can you hear me?

Gu Yiliu nodded.

The dolphin was delighted and started calling out again, jumping and leaping, its black and white silhouette dancing in the air.

Officer Gu, my name is Moon, you must remember me!

Gu Yiliu nodded and watched the moon leave.

Tell the captain to keep sailing. It's estimated that the two ships will meet soon, if the convoy is still chasing the dolphins and hasn't deviated from their course.

After walking for two more days, Gu Yiliu did not see any other marine life, and she guessed that they had probably all hidden themselves.

As for the white dolphin that asked for help, she asked Didi and found out it had already been captured.

But this dolphin was intelligent; it not only believed it would be saved, but also that the other dolphins would be saved, so they received many requests for help.

They were so happy that they pointed out the way and told them to drive faster.

Sure enough, the next day, their ships detected another vessel.

It was larger than their seagoing vessel, and the character "刀" (knife) was written on its hull, which should be the surname of the fishing boat owner.

“Dao Family Fishing Boat? Why does that name sound so familiar?” a coast guard officer named Xiao Qiang murmured.

Gu Yiliu looked at him, "Think about it again carefully." In fact, Diandian had already told her that the dolphin was on the fishing boat, and there were five people locked in the inner cabin: two men and three women.

“I remember now, the Dao family is a famous shipping magnate in Huidong City, with three fleets of ships. Several of his crew members have been reported missing by their families,” Xiao Qiang said.

...

Following Gu Yiliu's instructions, the captain of the ship that Gu Yiliu was on steered the ship straight toward the Dao family's fishing boat.

"What are you doing? Do you even know how to sail a boat? You're going to collide with it!"

The crew of the Dao family's fishing boat, seeing that the vessel was no less likely to collide with their own, immediately shouted for help.

However, the captain was very skilled, and besides, they were a police search boat. The captain only wanted to stop the Dao family fishing boat, so when the bow of the boat was about to collide with the Dao family fishing boat, it suddenly drifted sideways and stopped the Dao family fishing boat.

Even with their superior skills, the Dao family's fishing boats had no choice but to stop. "What's your master's name? Are you blind?" a crew member from one of the Dao family's fishing boats yelled at them.

"My surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Qiang. This is my boat. My boat has been adrift at sea for two months, unable to discern its direction. I wanted to buy some rice, flour, oil, and vegetables from your boat, so I had no choice but to force you to stop." Xiao Qiang is a coast guard officer. Gu Yiliu had heard that he was very shrewd and resourceful, so it was best to have him handle things.

With Xiao Qiang there, the rest of them could easily get on the Dao family's fishing boat. In any case, they had to get on the Dao family's fishing boat first, and then see what happened next.

Gu Yiliu came out, exchanged a glance with Han Yi, and each handed them a bag of rice.

"How much money can you offer?" The other side was also highly vigilant, and forcing a fishing boat to stop at sea was a major taboo—it was a signal that a fight was about to break out. So no one on the Dao family's fishing boat believed them.

"Ha! Who are you trying to fool... What are you doing?!"

In that instant, the other seven coast guard officers pushed off and jumped onto the opposite boat, startling the crew of the Dao family fishing boat who raised their guns, intending to fire a warning shot.

Gu Yiliu tossed out a small knife, which sliced ​​the other man's gun in two.

The gun broke in two and fell to the ground, and the scene fell silent.

"..."

The knife plunged straight into the man's feet, where he had intended to fire a warning shot, piercing through the metal sheeting.

The man was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face turning pale.

Just then, someone shouted, "Robbery...robbery, Brother Dao!"
