Chapter 045 Chapter 45

real world.

The fishing boat continued to sail forward. Several people on the boat were either sitting on the deck smoking, or lying in the cabin looking at the ceiling. One person was touching a photo of his family, wiping his nose and shedding tears.

It's in a completely desolate state, waiting to die.

Even the fact that the boat suddenly entered a strange fog did not attract their attention. Only Captain Xia Guo took a look and lowered his head to continue smoking.

Strange things happened one after another, and the strange appearance of fog was not the strangest thing for this small fishing boat.

The fishing nets had been hanging under the boat all night. It was time to pull them up, but no one had time to think about that now. They only cared about whether they could get home on this voyage.

A gurgling sound was heard, and the stomach was hungry.

No one moved, not even the cook was in the mood to fire.

Soon after entering the fog, the speed of the fishing boat began to slow down and then stopped.

The people on the boat remained silent until they heard muffled voices.

The voice was very soft, but it was clear that it was not from someone on their fishing boat. It was the voice of a young woman, coming through the mist.

"The sea fog is too thick," the woman complained loudly, "I can't see anything."

"Why is there such a thick fog all of a sudden? Is it possible to have such weather at sea?"

"This... I don't know. I've never encountered such a situation before." This was He Zhinan's voice. He had been sailing on the sea on a yacht for two years and had never encountered such a situation.

"Will we get lost in the sea mist and be unable to return?" This is the voice of another young man. "Hey, hey, I don't want to get into a shipwreck."

"No." Sang Yi said, "There is a positioning system on the yacht. As long as the positioning is correct, there is no need to worry about not being able to return."

"But won't this cause collisions with other ships?"

"Don't worry, my yacht has the most advanced radar system," He Zhinan said, "it's impossible to collide with other ships."

Sang Yi smiled. This yacht did have the most advanced radar system, but... for some reason, after entering the fog, the radar system screen kept flashing, which seemed to be a malfunction. So Sang Yi was not sure whether it was working properly.

The most important thing is that he had already made an appointment with the contact person in this sea area, but until now the radar system has not detected the presence of other ships.

Either the contact person had some problem and didn't show up, or the radar system was really broken.

Neither outcome was what Sang Yi wanted to see. If the contact person didn't come because of an accident, the yacht would have to bring the contraband into the port, and it would be a lot of trouble if it was checked. Of course, he could also choose to abandon it, but that would be too much of a loss.

If the radar system breaks down, a collision with other ships in such foggy weather would be no joke.

In the past, when ships did not have radar systems, they would deliberately create loud noises in the sea mist to avoid collisions, so that other ships could guess the direction and distance of the other ship. This yacht does not have many other things, but the entertainment equipment is very complete. For example, in order to have fun on the deck, there is a stereo installed outside the cabin to play music.

"Let's play some music," said Sang Yi. "It's boring to just look at the fog."

Sang Yi did not mention the radar matter as he did not want to cause panic among these people.

"Good idea, then..." He Zhinan had only said half of his words when the sea mist suddenly dissipated a little.

Although we still couldn't see very far away, we could already see the sea about a hundred meters around the ship.

"Look here! There's a fishing boat!"

As the fog cleared, the woman standing at the bow watching pointed ahead and spoke.

At the same time, Xia Guo, who was on the deck of the fishing boat, also saw the yacht suddenly appear in front of him after the fog dissipated, and he stood up in fright.

On the yacht, Sang Yi walked to the bow and looked at Xia Guo on the deck, his eyes narrowed.

Sang Yi knew Jiang Xiaomao and Dou Wen, who were in charge of the handover. They had met once on the shore. If you don't even know the faces of the other party in this kind of transaction, it is easy to make mistakes. In addition, Sang Yi also knew the ship target chosen by Jiang Xiaomao and his friends. In order to facilitate the connection, he specially checked the relevant information. If I remember correctly, the captain's name is Xia Guo.

Yes, it’s the man in front of me with a depressed look on his face.

It seems to have failed.

Sang Yi rubbed his brows. He couldn't let the yacht bring this batch of goods into the customs and be seized. It would be better to take the opportunity of buying seafood to hide the goods secretly in this fishing boat, and then find a chance to "take" them after landing.

"How come this fishing boat is so close to us!" He Zhinan was shocked. "What on earth is the captain doing?"

"Don't worry, the captain must have known what was going on. He probably came closer to me because I mentioned that I wanted to buy fish from a fishing boat." Sang Yi would never let He Zhinan go to the captain to get angry. It was rare for the captain to start listening. If he was fired, wouldn't he have to start all over again? Sang Yi comforted him and said, "This distance is convenient for buying fish."

He Zhinan was quickly convinced by Sang Yi.

Sang Yi walked to the bow and shouted to the people on the fishing boat: "How was the catch? We want to buy some fresh fish. How much do you have?"

Xia Guo was still in a daze, wondering if the yacht in front of him was real or fake, when he heard Sang Yi say he wanted to buy fish. If it were in the past, he would have happily agreed, because yacht owners are not short of money, and they don't care if the fish they buy are sold at the landed price. Instead, they can clean up the ice storage and leave some space for more fishing.

But now...

"Not much left." Xia Guo hesitated for a moment and then said, "Did anything strange happen when you came here?"

"Strange things?" He Zhinan was puzzled, "What is strange..."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a man suddenly appear in the captain's cabin on the upper deck of the small fishing boat.

Because of the distance and the fact that the glass of the cabin was a little dirty, the man's face could not be seen clearly, but He Zhinan was sure that the man suddenly appeared in front of the control console.

A very tall and thin figure.

"Ah--" A scream came from the cabin. Captain Li, covering his bleeding arm, stumbled onto the deck. Behind him, the crazy Dou Wen, holding a bloody knife in his hand, chased him closely.

"Help!" Captain Li shouted as he ran.

"Dou Wen?" Xia Guo looked at him in disbelief. Didn't this man disappear all night? But soon he was no longer frightened. He quickly found a tool to block the knife and stood behind Captain Li, calling for others to come over and subdue him.

The small deck of the fishing boat was in chaos.

"Oh my god..." He Zhinan was stunned by this scene, "What's going on?"

The female companions and friends around him were all frightened. Some of them took out their cell phones and started filming, thinking that the incident would not affect them.

This is a live version of an attack and murder, and the video will definitely go viral if it is posted online.

On the yacht, Sang Yi watched this scene with a gloomy face, cursing in his heart.

What an idiot! He didn't deal with the problem before the meeting, and now he is doing this in front of the whole yacht. What is he trying to do? Is he crazy?

Even if there was no time to take action, there would still be plenty of opportunities if we handed over the goods secretly and stayed away from the yacht. But now, unless we get rid of all the people present, this matter will be spread soon.

Even if he got rid of all the people he saw, given the relationships between He Zhinan and his group of friends and female companions, if he lost contact for three days, the police would be called to investigate. Everyone on the outbound yacht had been registered at the customs, so Sang Yi would not be able to escape.

The only thing to do at this time is to play dumb.

Pretend to have nothing to do with this group of people. As for the goods, although it is a pity, it is better to secretly lose them at sea.

Those things are worth several million dollars. If you get caught, you'll end up in jail for life.

"Call the police quickly." A woman on the yacht quickly reminded.

He Zhinan also recovered from the shock and nodded, saying, "Yes, call the police."

There is a special emergency telephone number for the sea, which is mostly called when in distress at sea. This is the fastest way to get help when problems occur near the coast.

"Look over there, is there a boat?" someone said, pointing in another direction.

Everyone on the yacht looked over and saw that the sea mist was fading away, leaving only a white layer. A sea breeze blew from somewhere and the mist was blown away. The coast guard ship hidden behind the sea mist was immediately exposed on the sea surface.

Looking at the maritime police logo on the ship, Sang Yi's expression changed again and again. How could it be such a coincidence that they encountered a maritime police ship under such circumstances?

On the observation deck of the coast guard ship, the coast guard on duty had seen the fight on the fishing boat through the lookout equipment, and he hurriedly informed the captain's room of the news.

The captain immediately issued an order to approach the fishing boat, and at the same time the armed forces on the ship began to prepare to arrest the people as soon as the boat approached.

After several hours of repeated killing, Dou Wen was already in a state of madness. He could not tell what was real and what was fake, and he just attacked any living person he could see based on instinct.

Just as Sang Yi guessed, he had gone crazy and couldn't even tell that the person approaching was wearing a coast guard uniform. He wanted to kill everyone with a fish filleting knife.

The result was, of course, that it was quickly suppressed.

The coast guard who boarded the fishing boat found out the situation on the ship. There were eight people in total, including the captain Xia Guo. The one holding the knife and wanting to kill people was Dou Wen, a newcomer who came to the ship for the first time. The reason for his madness was unknown. Anyway, when he was caught, he was still struggling and clamoring to kill people, and kept repeating the words "alive again", "kill again", and "I will win". It was impossible to communicate.

After identity verification, the coast guards quickly discovered that the identities of Dou Wen and Jiang Xiaomao were forged and both were wanted.

Now, in addition to the crazy Dou Wen, Jiang Xiaomao was also arrested. His mood was relatively stable, at least he could communicate, but he was a little nervous and scared.

Another very strange thing was that Dou Wen's clothes and the knife in his hand were stained with a lot of blood, some of which had dried. However, among the people on the fishing boat, only a crew member named Li was caught off guard and was cut on the arm by Dou Wen, and the amount of bleeding was not large. No one else was stabbed, which was inconsistent with the large amount of blood on Dou Wen's body and knife.

The captain of the Coast Guard said, "This is really strange. Let's take these two people back and interrogate them slowly."

He believed that the two wanted criminals had sneaked onto a fishing boat, and they definitely did not simply want to fish for a living. If they wanted to make a living, they would not look for a captain like Xia Guo who would stop working after going out to sea once. The captain of the coast guard also wanted to know what they encountered on the ship.

There are also yachts moored nearby.

"It's a routine inspection," the coast guard said to He Zhinan. "We need to check your identity information and the items on the ship."

Sang Yi frowned: "This is a pleasure yacht, not a cargo ship, there is no need for inspection."

"As long as the ship is sailing or anchored in our territorial waters, we have the right to inspect it. Please cooperate."

He Zhinan: "I don't care. Check it out. There's nothing."

His friends all looked nonchalant. After all, they had not committed any crime. They just made an appointment with a little girl to go to the sea. They were all adults and it was consensual. They also went through the exit registration honestly. What was there to be afraid of?

Only Sang Yi's heart was pounding as he watched the coast guards board the yacht and begin searching. If this was not on the sea, he would have run away long ago.

Ten minutes later, several coast guards reported that they had found a partition in the freezer box used to store marine fish in the freezer area. Inside the partition were many small bags of white powder, which were suspected to be some kind of prohibited substance.

Sang Yi's face turned completely pale, while He Zhinan looked confused.

In a plastic basket of marine fish? White powder? Contraband? What are you talking about?

"We have taken over this yacht. Please come with us." The coast guard said to He Zhinan and others.

"Wait, I don't know? I don't even know how many things are in the cold storage?" He Zhinan immediately defended himself.

As a young master who only loves to have fun, he doesn't care about anything else except spending money. He is not a chef and doesn't care about purchasing. He doesn't even know how many fish are in the freezer, let alone the condition of the baskets containing the fish.

"This must have been done by someone on my boat behind my back." He Zhinan cried out for injustice, and his other friends said that they were just accompanying the young master for fun, and that what happened on the boat was none of their business. Even if there was any problem, the only person to be arrested would be He Zhinan, and it had nothing to do with them.

The friendship between the bad friends was so thin, and the group of people threw the blame at each other so quickly that He Zhinan was dumbfounded.

In any case, all of them had to be taken ashore for investigation, including Sang Yi.

Sang Yi said nothing and followed the coast guard obediently, thinking about ways to escape the crime.

How to investigate next is the job of the coast guard.

On the other hand, Qingtong had returned home when the fog dissipated and ended the weird role.

"It's so uncomfortable..." Qingtong covered her mouth, "It's a bit disgusting."

System: "Host, you seem very happy when you eat fish."

"The vest makes me feel too hungry." Qingtong said, "Is this a side effect of the vest? After using the vest, I always want to eat, and once I start eating, I can't stop until my stomach feels full."

System: "This is the characteristic of the vest." Just like a weird little girl who always wants to play, this is where it is inevitable to be affected.

"Okay." Qingtong poured himself a large glass of water. Although it was not his body that ate the raw fish, the psychological impact was still there. He would feel better if he rinsed his mouth.

"I didn't expect this card's skill to be a killing card." Qingtong said, "On the fishing boat, apart from its appearance at the beginning, the rest of the time it relied on Bai Yixin to support it."

And because Bai Yixin did not show up in front of others, even if he made efforts, he did not gain any integration. He was just a worker who did not get paid. It was really miserable.

But it was not a complete loss. We took this opportunity to crack down on a wave of illegal smuggling of contraband from abroad. If we had allowed them to succeed, it would have become a stable channel for smuggling into the country, causing endless trouble in the future.

“I saved the world, didn’t I?”

"Yes, the host did a great job!" The system immediately praised, and then the voice became a little hesitant, "That..."

"What's wrong?"

"That's it..." The salvation system said hesitantly, "There is a piece of bad news that needs to be informed to the host."

"What bad news?"

"When it was bound to the host, this system once detected a fluctuation. At that time, it said that something strange would happen in three months..."

Qingtong had a bad feeling in his heart: "Well, but now there are only two months left, right?"

"No... that... our system just tested it again, and it seems that the time has been shortened."

Qingtong: "So what you mean?"

"In at most one month, the weirdness will officially arrive."

At this moment, Qingtong's expression was even uglier than Sang Yi's when the contraband was discovered.
