Chapter 357 Fish of Unknown Origin
After Yang Er died, there was no news of Huang Hai at all.
Li Yu'e sent people to search Fucheng seven or eight times but found no news of Huang Hai, so she had to give up temporarily.
Xia Xiaoman still wanted to continue looking for Huang Hai, but she didn't know much about Huang Hai and had no idea where to look for him, so she went to Yang Er's house every few days to see if she could run into Huang Hai.
"Sister Xiaoman, are you home?" Su Ran's voice came from outside.
Xia Xiaoman put the freshly brewed instant noodles into the space, put on his coat and walked out, "At home, what's wrong?"
Su Ran smiled and said, "Sister Yu'e went out and bought some sea fish today. She asked me to ask you to come over to eat grilled fish and bring some hairy eggs with you."
“Ouch~”
Before Xia Xiaoman agreed, Maodan raised his paw to agree.
Looking at the excited Maodan, Xia Xiaoman rubbed its big head and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go back and get a hat and come out."
On the way to Li Yu'e's house, Xia Xiaoman asked, "Where did Sister Yu'e buy the sea fish?"
Su Ran shook his head. "I don't know. It should be a trading point. It's so cold, and I guess only the trading point has sea fish for sale."
Arriving at Li Yu'e's house, Li Yu'e and the others were sitting in the living room washing and cutting vegetables. Xia Xiaoman saw the hot pot base on the table and said with a smile, "What a generous gesture! The hot pot base has been taken out. It looks like I'm in for a treat today."
Li Yu'e looked up when she heard the voice. "I've been waiting for you to come. Come quickly and help me kill the fish. These three big sea fish have been soaking in water for a long time before they thawed."
Xia Xiaoman walked over and took a look at the sea fish in the basin. "Such a big fish, one must weigh at least ten kilograms! How many points did you buy it with?"
Li Yu'e said without even looking up: "I didn't use any points, I exchanged it with snow vines. The convoy on the roadside didn't have a points card reader, so I could only exchange it with supplies."
"The convoy on the roadside? Aren't these sea fish bought from the trading point?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
"No, the sea fish at the trading point is too expensive. I can't afford it."
Li Yu'e encountered a group of cars selling sea fish on her way home. At first she thought it was Sun Qing's group, but when she got closer she realized it was not them. This group came from the north city and had never been to Fucheng before.
She saw that the sea fish sold by those people were of good quality, so she bought a few and had a meal together.
Xia Xiaoman looked at these sea fish and inexplicably remembered the fish tail monster that Ye Wengang mentioned some time ago. She looked at Li Yu'e and said in a serious tone: "Sister Yu'e, it's best not to eat these fish first. I suspect there is something wrong with these fish."
Li Yu'e was stunned. "What's the problem? I took a look and the fish look normal. There are no mutations, parasites or rot."
"Someone told me that they ate fish from unknown sources and gave birth to a deformed baby. Sister Yu'e, these fish may seem fine on the surface, but who knows if there will be any problems after eating them?"
Xia Xiaoman picked up a fish that had not been killed yet and said, "Sister Yu'e, how about this? I'll take a fish to the medical station for testing. If there's nothing wrong with the fish, we can eat it?"
Li Yu'e hesitated for a moment and said, "Will the medical station help us with the test?"
"Probably. I'll ask someone I know for help."
"Okay then! Go early and come back early." Li Yu'e waved her hand. After Xia Xiaoman walked away, she sighed, "They said they were going to have a meal together. If I had known earlier, I would have spent more points to buy fish at the trading point."
Xiao Zheyu said at the side: "It's okay, I can go to the trading point to buy it now." After saying that, he put on his coat and went out.
On the other side, Xia Xiaoman came to Zhao Anqi's office carrying a large sea fish weighing more than ten kilograms.
When Zhao Anqi came back from work and saw such a big fish, she said, "Tsk tsk, you gave me such a big fish. It seems that what you want me to do this time is not simple!"
Xia Xiaoman smiled when she heard this, "Sister Anqi, please stop teasing me. This fish is indeed given to you, but it is not for you to eat. I want you to help check if there is any problem with this fish."
Zhao Anqi took off her coat and put it on the stool. "What do you mean? Is there something wrong with this fish?"
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. "It's not certain yet, but I heard that someone gave birth to a deformed baby after eating fish from unknown sources. I'm worried that there's something wrong with this fish, so I want you to help take a look."
"Where did you buy this fish?" Zhao Anqi asked.
"I bought it from a passing caravan. The caravan is still selling fish. It will probably stay in the floating city for a day or two."
After hearing this, Zhao Anqi picked up the fish and looked at it carefully. "I can't see any problem with this fish for now. I'll take it to the laboratory and ask my colleagues to help check it. It will probably take several hours. You go back first and come back after 6pm to see the results of the test."
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "Okay, Sister Anqi, I'll trouble you then."
Zhao Anqi smiled and said, "It's not a problem. If the inspection shows that there is indeed a problem, you will have been a great help."
There are fish that can cause babies to become deformed. If they are not discovered and dealt with early, once everyone in the floating city has eaten these fish, then the entire floating city will be doomed.
Zhao Anqi realized the seriousness of the matter. After sending Xia Xiaoman away, she immediately took the fish to the laboratory and asked her colleagues to help check it.
On the other side, Xia Xiaoman came out of the military medical station and took a detour to see what kind of people were in the convoy selling fish.
Not long after she walked, she saw several cars parked in an open space, and many people gathered around them to buy sea fish. This team didn't accept anything except snow vines, and if there were no snow vines, they would rather not sell fish.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoman saw a familiar figure. She walked a few steps closer and saw Huang Hai, who was dressed tightly, talking to the leader of the team. After talking for about ten minutes, the two seemed to have reached some kind of deal, and Huang Hai turned around and left the team.
Xia Xiaoman thought about it and quietly followed Huang Hai.
After following him for a few blocks, Huang Hai suddenly sped up and ran into the alley. Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman also immediately sped up and followed him.
When passing an alley, Huang Hai disappeared in the blink of an eye. Xia Xiaoman looked around vigilantly and quietly moved his right hand to his lower back.
