Zhang Ze, who didn't notice anything, did not let down his guard. He bent over and walked to the deck, then went up to the flying bridge from the stairs outside.
Only by standing on a high place can you see farther, and the flying bridge also has guardrails. Even if a ship really approaches, it will not be able to find him if he hides under the guardrail.
Then, he noticed a dark shadow slowly approaching from behind the Duoyu. Judging from its outline, it should be a small boat, smaller than the small wooden boat parked at the fishing village pier.
Zhang Ze was a little surprised. This was not the coastal waters. It would be unsafe for such a small boat at night when the wind and waves were strong. So how could such a boat appear?
It doesn’t matter if he can’t figure it out. What matters is that as the boat got closer, he discovered in the faint moonlight that there was only one person on it.
Xiao Hei bared his teeth, showing his aggressiveness in front of Zhang Ze for the first time. If he hadn't been hugged by Zhang Ze around the neck, he would have probably rushed down.
"Quiet!" Zhang Ze patted its head gently and whispered.
A biting dog doesn't bark. Xiao Hei hasn't barked since he noticed something was wrong last night. He is actually very satisfied with Xiao Hei's performance.
If it were an ordinary dog, it would probably run to the stern of the boat and follow the man's shouting, but it would also alert the enemy.
At this time, on the small boat, a thin middle-aged man with dark complexion was rowing the boat slowly with the oars very carefully.
The middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance and seemed to have been out to sea all year round. He looked very old.
But at this moment, his condition seemed a little abnormal. His black coarse cloth clothes were dirty and stained everywhere.
People who don’t understand might think they are oil stains or something, but people who know will find that these stains are actually the result of blood splashing and drying.
The middle-aged man was a sailor, but his hometown was in the north. He once committed a crime and killed someone, so he fled all the way to the south.
Then he happened to see a recruitment advertisement for seamen, so he decided to become a seaman.
They may only return to shore once a year, so they are not afraid of being caught when they go to the high seas.
But this is not a long-term solution. Only by fleeing abroad can you be truly safe.
The middle-aged man's original plan was to go to Hong Kong Island or Taiwan. After enduring a year of life as a seaman, the fishing boat finally had to return to shore for repairs.
He had already studied the route and planned to steal a small boat at night and sneak across to Hong Kong Island.
But if you want to get by in a strange place, you need money. Therefore, the captain, the first mate and the seamen on the fishing boat all suffered. Originally, he just wanted to steal things. In fact, the seamen had no money, and only the captain might have some valuables.
Going out to sea to fish actually involves spending money on the high seas. Some foreign bosses will provide door-to-door delivery services. Who can resist a man who has been on the sea for a long time?
These captains and mates who have been at sea for a long time certainly know where the fish are. Fishing is not just about catching fish, but also about having fun while fishing.
In addition, some seafood vendors would also sail directly to them to buy fish, and the middle-aged man was targeting this money.
But in the end he was discovered, so he simply killed the person who discovered him.
The person who discovered that he had stolen the money screamed before he died, which also attracted the attention of others. Unfortunately, the middle-aged man was well prepared and brought some sleeping pills on the boat before going out to sea during dinner time.
The original intention was to knock everyone on the boat unconscious, but the effectiveness of the drug was lost over time.
But even so, the drugged sailors were completely powerless and were eventually dealt with one by one by the middle-aged man.
After dealing with everyone on the ship, the middle-aged man originally wanted to drive his own boat to Hong Kong Island.
However, this 50-meter-class fishing boat is not easy to operate alone, even though he has learned a lot in the past year.
It could start but couldn't stop, and finally it hit a reef and leaked, and the fishing boat was about to sink.
Although the middle-aged man originally planned to sink the boat, it was not at this time.
After escaping in a small boat, he unexpectedly discovered warning lights on the sea, which made him overjoyed. He immediately decided to hijack the ship and go to Hong Kong Island.
Don't expect that the ship owner would bring a dog with him when he went out to sea. When he came to the stern and was about to board the ship, a fist as big as a sandbag appeared in front of him and knocked him unconscious with one punch. He didn't even have the chance to struggle and fell into a coma.
Zhang Ze, holding a javelin, frowned as he looked at the unconscious man lying on his back on the boat.
He was a little scared at this moment because he smelled a strong stench of rust. If he guessed correctly, it was the smell of dried blood.
The taste of human blood and fish blood is very different. He has come into contact with seriously injured people before, so he naturally knows the taste of human blood.
Therefore, he did not feel guilty about the heavy-handed attack just now. He thought that the man must be a fugitive or something, or he might have just killed someone not long ago.
Of course, there is nothing that can be done if there is a misunderstanding. He has to consider his own safety. At worst, he can compensate for it later.
Having learned boxing from Lin Long for such a long time, plus his own strength, that punch just now was at least a mild concussion, and at worst it could be moderate.
He poked the opponent's fifth limb with a javelin and made sure that the opponent was really unconscious. He asked Xiao Hei to watch him while he went to the warehouse to get a rope.
Zhang Ze would never do such a thing as throwing animals into the sea to feed the fish. He had never killed anyone, so he naturally wouldn't be that cruel.
He came back with the rope and tried again. Seeing that the man still didn't respond, he grabbed his ankle and turned him over.
First he tied the man's hands behind his back, then tied his feet up, and finally he lifted the man, who weighed only a little over 100 pounds, with one hand and brought him back to his boat.
The man was limp and didn't react at all. If he wasn't still breathing, Zhang Ze would have suspected that he had knocked him out with one punch without knowing how to control his strength.
Throwing it onto the deck, I thought about how those people on TV could cut the ropes or untie themselves even if they were tied up.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ze took out a roll of fishing line produced in the space that he had bought with experience points, and then went over and wrapped around the other person's ten fingers.
Also tie up the wrists and ankles again.
The other party had a chance to break the hemp rope, but since he could break the fishing line, Zhang Ze admired him.
After tying the man to the side of the boat, Zhang Ze returned to the cockpit and started the Duoyu.
He needed to wake up Jin Sanbao, Tong Yuanhang and others, and then return to the coast to contact the coast guard.
The noise of Duoyu's engine starting up was quite loud. Zhang Zexian came to Tong Yuanhang's side. Just as he approached, Tong Yuanhang's voice was heard on the radio.
"Aze, what's going on?"
"I suspect there was a murderer trying to hijack my boat. I caught him and tied him up. We have to go back overnight."
"Fuck! Murderer?"
Tong Yuanhang cursed immediately and his heart started beating uncontrollably.
"How did you find him?"
"It was Xiao Hei who discovered it first and reminded me, so you'd better get a dog and bring it on board when you go back this time. If it weren't for Xiao Hei, I might have gotten into trouble that night."
Speaking of which, Zhang Ze was also a little scared. He was not the kind of hero in the movies who would wake up immediately when someone approached.
If this person hadn't gotten on the boat, he might have been killed in his sleep, and his family would have been so sad.
In his previous life, he had heard of many murders at sea, so he specially got a dog, but he didn't expect to actually use it.
No, I have to give Xiao Hei three more chicken legs tomorrow.
"Hiss~ Raise it, you must raise it!" Tong Yuanhang said firmly.
Originally he thought it was troublesome for Zhang Ze to raise a dog, but now he has to raise one no matter how troublesome it is, and he has to raise a good dog like Xiao Hei.
"Well, let's go wake up Sanbao and the others first, and then we can go back. Then ask Lin Long to make a few more crossbows, and we'll put them on the boat for self-defense."
Tong Yuanhang and the others had no different opinions at this time, and they quickly started the fishing boat and followed him.
Jin Sanbao and others were woken up. After learning what happened in the evening, they were frightened and broke out in cold sweats. They followed without stopping.
Several people decided to raise a big dog when they returned. Even if they couldn't defeat the enemy, the big dog could at least buy time and give them a chance to fight back.
Zhang Ze was driving in the front. The suspected murderer had not woken up yet and was on the front deck. He could see him through the window.
Xiao Hei lay down opposite the man and just stared at him.
After sailing for about ten minutes, under the light, Zhang Ze saw a fishing boat at least twice as long as the Duoyu in front of him on the right, but at this moment half of the fishing boat was submerged under the sea.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He was silent for a moment, then turned and headed towards the sunken ship.
When Jin Sanbao and others behind him saw that he changed the course, they followed him without hesitation, and then they also discovered the silent ship.
Tong Yuanhang picked up the radio: "Aze, this ship that is sinking, isn't it the guy you caught who caused it?"
Zhang Ze replied: "I don't know, but it's most likely the ship he was originally on. Just now this man came from the stern, and I thought he came from somewhere else. But no one has come out to call for help from the sunken ship, and there are no lifeboats nearby. It's obvious that everyone is in danger."
Tong Yuanhang: "From what you said, could it be that the man killed everyone on the boat and then sank the boat on purpose to destroy the bodies?"
Zhang Ze agreed: "It's very likely!"
Now that no one on the boat came out to ask for help, they would not approach rashly. After watching for a while, the three boats continued to head towards home.
Of course, they have noted the location of the sunken ship, and they will probably have to follow the coast guard to the scene to identify it when the time comes.
At about five in the morning, Zhang Ze contacted the coast guard.
While waiting for the coast guard, he hurried over to cut the fishing line, because only he could cut it and no one else could.
But his previous punch was indeed powerful enough that even after the coast guard arrived and confirmed that the man was a wanted criminal, he was unable to wake up.
In the end, Zhang Ze poured a bucket of water on him to wake him up.
The middle-aged man still felt dizzy when he woke up, obviously suffering from a concussion.
Zhang Ze asked Tong Yuanhang to come and help drive his boat back and sell the fish. Since he was the person involved, he followed the coast guard to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
He went to make a statement, and then took a speedboat to search for the location of the shipwreck. After the shipwreck was found, the coast guard sent him back to the fishing village, and the matter came to an end.
However, when the case is over, the police will give him a banner and a reward for catching the wanted criminal, but it will take some time.
After returning to the fishing village, Zhang Ze was immediately surrounded by villagers and acquaintances, who asked him all kinds of questions. It was obvious that the news that he had caught the murderer had already spread among Jin Sanbao and others.
"Aze, how did you catch the murderer?"
"Aze, I heard that it was Xiao Hei who reminded you? Is that true? Is this dog that smart?"
"So do we have to get a dog when we go out to sea?"
"You're not spending the night at sea, what's the point of raising a P?"
"It's that simple. Please make way for me. I haven't slept all night. Let me go back and rest." Zhang Zeke didn't have time to chat with the villagers.
After finally squeezing out and returning home, he found that everyone was waiting for him.
Seeing him come back, Tong Yuanhang and others gathered around him and asked him if he was okay.
"The person has been locked up and cannot get out. He will be executed once the charges are determined." Zhang Ze explained briefly, and then said to Lin Long, "Along, you have to work harder during this period. Get us a few crossbows for self-defense. It's a pity that we don't have shotguns, otherwise it would be more reassuring."
Lin Long nodded and agreed decisively, but after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Aze, how about Ah Hu and I go out to sea with you in the future, so that we can take care of each other."
Zhang Ze was stunned, and after thinking for three seconds, he shook his head and refused: "This situation is just a coincidence, and it may not happen again. There are weapons on the ship to protect myself, and Xiao Hei will remind me, so it's okay."
If he has weapons, there is no need to call Lin Long and Lin Hu for help since he can solve the problem by himself.
If he can't solve it, even if he calls them, they will probably be buried with him.
The country's military strength in territorial defense is still very strong. As long as you don't go to the high seas, you will be basically safe in domestic waters.
He is not going to Zengmu Shoal, so he is not likely to encounter pirates.
Seeing that he insisted, Lin Long did not mention the matter again.
Everyone also felt that this was just a coincidence and would probably never happen again.
At this time, Chen Xudong, who was usually silent, suddenly said, "Sprayer, I'll think of a way. I have a chance to get it, but it requires money."
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up immediately. He didn't expect that he actually had the channels to get the trolls. He quickly said, "Money is not a problem. If you can get it, I'll give you as much money as you need."
"Okay!" Chen Xudong nodded and stopped talking.
But Jin Sanbao was a little surprised and put his hand on his shoulder: "Great, Adong, I didn't expect you to be so wild."
"It's OK. I happened to know someone who does this before."
In the 1980s, there was no strict ban on trolls in China. It was not until a fight broke out between two villages in 1993 that China began to take it seriously.
Chen Xudong went to get the shotgun, but Lin Long continued to make the crossbow because it should not be used easily unless it was absolutely necessary.
After a while, Zhang Ze sent everyone away, took a shower and had a nap.
Jin Sanbao, Tong Yuanhang and others started selling fish after they came back. He had not slept until he came back and needed to rest.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
When I came downstairs, I found Lin Long and Lin Hu were working on the crossbow, while the third sister was busy in the kitchen.
"Aze, you're awake. Wash your face and have dinner. Third sister is almost well." Lin Long saw him and greeted him with a smile.
Zhang Ze nodded and was about to speak when he saw Jin Sanbao walk in triumphantly, holding a puppy in his arms.
"Hey, Aze, are you up? Come and see how my dog is doing?" (End of this chapter)
