Chapter 285: Adventure at the Sea



The time for fishing starts at around seven in the evening, and the location is in a remote wild sea on the island. You have to put on equipment to follow the local fishermen to fish, and of course you have to pay.

In order to have a better experience, Wen Qi and Feng Ce booked the entire project on their own. Tonight, besides the two of them, there was only a thin and dark middle-aged man serving as a guide on the entire beach.

The guide’s surname is Chang, and he calls himself Chang Ba. He is recognized as the best sea-hunting person on the island.

On the way to the beach with the equipment, Wen Qi asked: "Uncle Ba, what can we catch this time?"

Chang Ba said: "It depends on luck. If you are lucky, you can find crabs, octopuses, and eels. If you are unlucky, you can only pick up some shellfish."

They soon arrived at the beach. Chang Ba turned on the light and led Wen Qi and Feng Ce along the beach, occasionally stopping to turn over rocks and puddles. Soon they found a crab bigger than an adult's palm.

Wen Qi exclaimed, picked up the crab with a rack, and quickly and accurately caught it and threw it into the bucket. After catching it, he remembered to ask: "Is this crab edible?"

"Yes." Chang Ba said with some surprise: "The little girl is very skillful."

Wen Qi smiled, "I have practiced it before."

As he was talking, Feng Ce came over with an eel between his legs. The eel had a long body and twisted and turned like a snake, trying to break free, but the clamp didn't budge at all. Feng Ce looked calm and threw the eel into the bucket.

Wen Qi chuckled, "We are lucky today."

Chang Ba also nodded, "Not bad, let's go on."

Walking along the reef, there are often some small creatures hiding in the cracks of the rocks. The most common ones are crabs, followed by abalone, and later they found an octopus in a reef cave.

Wen Qi was extremely excited, but due to his lack of skills, he tried for a long time and broke two or three tentacles, but still failed to catch the octopus.

Chang Ba laughed and said, "It's easier to catch an octopus when it's in the sea, but once it's attached to a rock, it's hard to catch. Its tentacles are full of suction cups, and they're very strong."

"Let me try." Feng Ce stepped forward, without using any clamps, he reached inside, grabbed the octopus's head and pulled it out.

Chang Ba was a little shocked, "You are very strong."

Feng Ce smiled and said, "I exercise a lot in my daily life." He threw the octopus into the bucket, and went to clean up the broken tentacles of the octopus on the reef. He reacted belatedly after he had finished cleaning them, and did not hear Wen Qi's cheers.

When I turned around, I found Wen Qi facing the sea, and I didn't know what he was looking at.

Feng Ce: "Qiqi, what are you looking at?"

Wen Qi frowned slightly, "That white mass over there looks like... a corpse?" The distance was a bit far, so she was not very sure.

Feng Ce looked over and frowned within a few seconds, "Go and take a look."

Chang Ba also heard the conversation between the two. He thought it was impossible, but since the guests wanted to go, he had no reason to stop them. Chang Ba followed the two people slowly, and before he walked a few steps, he heard Qi's voice calmly saying, "It's a corpse, call the police."

The body had become a little fatter after being soaked in sea water, and was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks. There were no obvious wounds on the body surface, and there were no souls wandering around, so the only thing they could do was call the police.

Chang Ba subconsciously took a few steps forward and stretched his neck to look. Then, his eyes slowly widened and he said in disbelief: "Sixth Brother?!"

Wen Qi and Feng Ce both turned around to look at him, "Do you know him?"

Chang Ba was anxious. "He is from our village and is on the same fishing team as me. He should be out at sea now. How could he... Oh no!"

Feng Ce reminded: "Call the police first."

Chang Ba nodded repeatedly and took out his cell phone to call the police.

Half an hour later, the three people and their bodies were taken away by the police, and the sea-hunting activity was forced to end.

When they arrived at the police station, Wen Qi and Feng Ce were separated, each in a different place, to understand the situation and take statements separately.

The person who took Wen Qi's statement was a woman. There were several wrinkles between her eyebrows and she seemed to have a bad temper.

"Your name is Wen Qi? You're a student at Yunhai University, a junior this year..." the female police officer asked, "The school shouldn't be on holiday on this day, right? Why are you traveling?"

Wen Qi spoke frankly: "I started my own business and applied for an internship at school. I don't have to go to class on weekdays. This time I came out to travel with my husband to get married, which can also be regarded as a honeymoon."

The female police officer continued to ask: "It was so dark, how did you find the body?"

Wen Qi: "I found it by accident. I was originally looking for fish. I looked up and saw a patch of white over there. It didn't look like a fish. Then I got closer and found that it was indeed a body. I asked the fellow villager to call the police. The fellow villager said he knew the deceased."

The female officer looked her over and said, "You don't seem scared at all."

Wen Qi blinked and said, "I'm really not afraid." Without waiting for the question, she said, "Officer, why don't you ask me what kind of company I run?"

The female police officer frowned slightly, "Is it related to this case?"

Wen Qi shook his head, "It has something to do with my courage."

The female police officer frowned even deeper, "What kind of company do you run?"

Wen Qi smiled and said, "Tianshi Office, I have been dealing with ghosts for many years, so how could I be afraid of corpses?"

Wen Qi: "I am an external consultant of the Yunhai Tianshi Association. I am a senior Tianshi."

The female police officer stood up and said, "Please sit down for a moment. I will contact the local Tianshi Association."

When they returned to the office, the police officer who was responsible for questioning Feng Ce also came back. The two looked at each other and sighed.

The female police officer said, "I am a senior celestial master, a 21-year-old senior celestial master. Do you dare to believe me? However, if what she said is true, it makes sense that a body could be found in such a dark place and so far away."

The male police officer said: "I am the person in charge of the Feng Group. I am only 29 years old this year. I can't believe it either."

After complaining to each other for a while, the female police officer took out her cell phone and contacted the Taoist Association to inquire about Wen Qi's situation. She originally wanted to ask the other party to help verify it, but who knew that the Taoist priest on the other side started asking questions as soon as he heard the name Wen Qi.

"Are you sure her name is Wen Qi? She's very pretty and young, and her husband is called Feng Ce, right?"

The female police officer was a little surprised. "Yes, it's her. Do you know her?"

The Heavenly Master laughed and said, "I know her, but she doesn't know me. If it's Heavenly Master Wen, then there's no need to verify it. It should be her."

Female police officer: “Is she famous?”

"She is the youngest high-level celestial master in history. How can she not be famous? Besides, she also pioneered the rental of magical instruments... Why am I telling you this? Anyway, she is amazing. People who know her well should not have the guts to pretend to be her, and people who don't know her have no need to pretend to be her. It must be her!"

Female police officer: “I see, thank you.”

When I came out of the police station, it was already past midnight and the whole island was quiet. Fortunately, the street lights were still on and the island was not very big, so it only took more than half an hour to walk back to the hotel.

Wen Qi felt a little disappointed, "We're only halfway through the sea catching, I haven't had enough fun yet."

Feng Ce: "Then while you are still interested, let's go out to sea tomorrow to experience sea fishing?"

Wen Qi's eyes lit up, "Have you contacted the ship yet?"

Feng Ce: "The hotel has sea fishing programs. Just let the hotel know tomorrow. It's just that the time is a bit tight, and there may be other people traveling with you."

Wen Qi: "It doesn't matter, it's more fun with more people!"

Chang Ba asked, "Do you...need sea fishing guidance?"

They really didn't know, so they could only go back and ask the hotel if it had the configuration, and then confirm. Anyway, the contact information was saved, so if they didn't need it, they could just call and let them know.

It was almost one in the morning when I returned to the hotel. After handing the seafood I picked up to the hotel staff, I made a reservation for sea fishing tomorrow, but was told that the round-trip boat for that day was full and now only the boat that wanted to spend the night at sea had space.

Of course, overnight boats are bigger and safer, with fewer people participating, so you can have more fun. The only drawback is that the price is doubled.

But for Feng Ce, the last thing he had to worry about was money. He paid the full amount on the spot and booked a fishing boat for the trip that departed at 10 a.m.

Wen Qi was very satisfied with this time. She could have a good sleep now. "Will there be someone on the boat to teach us how to sea fishing?"

The staff member smiled and nodded, "Yes, but it costs extra money."

Wen Qi: "Can we bring our own people?"

Staff: "Of course, you booked a suite, which has two bedrooms, a living room and two bathrooms. It is completely accommodating."

Wen Qi smiled, "Okay, thank you."

After returning to the room, Wen Qi called Chang Ba to inform him of the time and place of departure tomorrow.

Chang Ba was very grateful and thanked him profusely, then told the truth, "Actually, I just wanted to go out and see what happened to Lao Liu and the others' ship. I would feel uneasy if I don't see it with my own eyes. Although I may not meet them even if I go out to sea, I..."

The signal was poor at sea, so he called everyone on the ship one by one, but no one answered.

"I know." Wen Qi said, "It doesn't matter. Like you said, we may not meet them. If we do meet them, we will not stand idly by if something happens on the ship."

Chang Ba kept thanking him.

Afterwards, a good night's sleep.

When Wen Qi got up at nine o'clock, Feng Ce's work had begun to finish.

After washing up and eating, they packed a small suitcase, put some spare clothes and daily necessities in it, and finally took their computer. They appeared at the port on time at ten o'clock.

Chang Ba had already arrived. Seeing the two of them, he smiled politely and nodded, "Good morning, bosses."

Wen Qi smiled and said, "Let's get on the boat first." The three of them walked onto the boat, and she asked with concern, "Does Lao Liu's family know about his situation?"

Chang Ba nodded, "I went to his house in the morning, and not long after, a police car came to take him to the police station."

The body of Lao Liu should have been dissected and can be brought back for burial. Wen Qi thought to herself, I don’t know what the cause of death is. If he died in the sea, it would be difficult to reincarnate, right? Will he become a water ghost? Tsk, she doesn’t want to go out to play, and she always has to work overtime. (End of this chapter)
