Feng Ye emphasized it again and explained the whole story, including their speculations, to Fang Yi in detail.
"Whether it's torpedoes, sonar, or unmanned underwater vehicles, these are all major events!"
Fang Yi's expression turned serious.
He looked around and lowered his voice, "Where is your boat docked? At the pier?"
"Yes, my brother and Ah-chan are watching over things on the boat. I told them not to let anyone get close."
“You did the right thing. This thing could be dangerous. If it really is a torpedo and causes panic, then we’ll be in trouble.”
"That's what I thought too, so I deliberately moved the boat to the edge where there were no people or boats around."
"Okay, go back and keep an eye on the things. Don't let anyone near them, and don't make a fuss. I'll go back now and arrange for someone to come and watch over them, and also contact someone to handle the situation."
"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you on the ship."
Without further ado, Fang Yi arranged for another policeman who was with him to accompany Feng Ye to the dock, while he himself hurriedly left on his sidecar motorcycle.
When Feng Ye and the police returned to the dock, they saw that the Dong Sheng ship was surrounded by a large crowd.
Everyone craned their necks to look at the ship, pointing and discussing the cylinders on the deck.
If Feng Xuan and A-Can hadn't been standing at the bow to stop them, someone probably would have already climbed onto the boat.
Seeing this, both of them felt a pang of anxiety and quickly hurried over.
"Everyone, please make way, make way..."
Feng Ye shouted as he squeezed into the crowd.
Feng Xuan and A Can both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Feng Ye return.
"Ah Ye, you're finally back! These people aren't afraid of death; they insisted on climbing onto the boat to see."
Feng Xuan complained.
Ah-chan added, "Yeah, we almost couldn't stop them; they rushed up to us."
Feng Ye nodded to them, then turned to the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, stop watching, there's nothing to see, everyone disperse."
But no one was willing to leave easily; they all surrounded the boat and refused to go.
At this moment, the police officers who had returned with him also squeezed in and shouted, "What are you looking at? Everyone, get back and stop crowding around here."
His uniform still had a certain intimidating effect.
The crowd reluctantly retreated, but stopped short of leaving.
The fact that the police have come to handle it means that the matter must be quite serious.
With something exciting to watch, how could these people easily leave?
The Eight Trigrams are human nature.
What's more, it's a very lively place.
Feng Ye and the others were also helpless.
With insufficient manpower, they couldn't disperse the crowd, so they could only watch warily, preventing the onlookers from getting any closer, and wait for Fang Yi to bring people over to help.
As time ticked by, the crowd of onlookers not only did not disperse, but instead grew larger and larger.
They all came to join the fun after hearing that someone had retrieved a torpedo.
Fortunately, Fang Yi arrived in time with the police from Chengguan Police Station. They quickly dispersed the crowd and set up a cordon around the area to prevent anyone from getting close.
Feng Ye and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“I reported it to the county bureau and also contacted people from the navy through connections.”
As soon as Fang Yi climbed onto the boat, he informed Feng Ye of the situation.
"That's good. It's best to leave this to professionals."
Soon after, Song Jianguo arrived with more police officers as reinforcements.
The crowd was dispersed once again, almost emptying the entire dock.
When a boat docks behind us, people must leave immediately; no one is allowed to linger.
Song Jianguo went aboard the ship and looked at the cylindrical object: "I've seen torpedoes when I was in the army, and this thing really does look like one."
Upon hearing this, Ah-Can immediately started shouting.
"Damn, I told you it was a torpedo, but you wouldn't believe me, so you came up with some sonar and unmanned underwater vehicle."
"Ah, it really is a torpedo!"
Feng Ye was surprised.
"Not necessarily, because of the color, I've never heard of any country having yellow torpedoes."
Song Jianguo frowned. "Unfortunately, I don't know English, so I can't confirm whether it's a torpedo."
Perhaps, as Xiao Feng guessed, it really could be sonar or an unmanned underwater vehicle, only its shape is somewhat similar to a torpedo.
However, whatever it is, it's always better to be cautious.
He then turned to Feng Ye and said, "Xiao Feng, you did a great job. You reported this suspected dangerous item immediately. You have a high level of awareness."
"Director Song, you flatter me. This is what we should do. We can't just ignore it when we encounter it."
Song Jianguo nodded, then asked, "How did you find this thing?"
When Fang Yi called him to report, he didn't explain clearly, so he didn't know the specifics.
"Dragged up in a trawl net..."
Feng Ye then recounted the entire incident to Song Jianguo in detail.
"I really don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky that you managed to pull this thing up."
After hearing this, Song Jianguo was also deeply moved.
"They've pulled up a lot of strange and unusual things. Didn't they pull up three statues of gods last year? Oh, and a corpse too."
Fang Yi, who was standing to the side, chimed in with a smile.
Song Jianguo laughed loudly: "Haha, I didn't even remember that until you mentioned it. It really is like that."
"The sea is a treasure trove. When we fishermen go out to sea, it's not surprising that we encounter all sorts of strange and unusual things."
Feng Ye also laughed.
Just then, a roaring sound came from the distant sky.
Fang Yi pointed: "They're here."
Everyone looked up and saw a helicopter flying towards them.
Soon, we arrived above the dock and then slowly descended.
The airflow stirred up by the huge propeller made everyone on the ship feel a strong gust of wind blowing in their faces.
The helicopter landed smoothly on the dock, and several people in naval uniforms got off.
The leader was a lieutenant colonel with two bars and two stars on his shoulders.
Behind him were two lieutenant-level officers who looked like technicians, as they both wore glasses and each carried a case.
In addition, there were several soldiers carrying guns.
As soon as they got off the plane, they walked quickly toward the Dong Sheng.
Song Jianguo went up to greet him, saluted the lieutenant colonel, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then led the people onto the ship.
As soon as the two technicians boarded the ship, their eyes immediately fell on the cylindrical object in the pile of fish.
He quickly walked over and began to observe carefully.
They also kept whispering to each other, discussing something in hushed tones.
The lieutenant colonel looked at the cylinder, his brow furrowing slightly. He then turned to Feng Ye and asked, "Did you retrieve this?"
"Yes, they were hauled up in the trawling net along with the fish..."
Feng Ye patiently explained once again the origin of this cylinder.
He genuinely didn't want to repeat himself over and over, but he had no choice; he had to say it whether he wanted to or not.
