Luckily, I left quickly that day and didn't mess with their fuel tank, otherwise they might have actually been discovered.
After thinking all this through, Chen Jinfa couldn't help but give a disdainful laugh.
"With this level of skill, you think you can find out who did it? Dream on."
After Ye Cheng came out, he silently glanced back at Chen Jinfa's house, a slight smile playing on his lips, and muttered something under his breath.
"idiot!"
Criminal psychology tells us that when people do something wrong, their explanations are different from when they do it normally.
Who is Chen Jinfeng?
That old scoundrel, that shameless scoundrel, didn't even get angry when I came knocking on his door. Instead, he patiently defended himself.
Ye Cheng said one sentence, and he said seven or eight sentences. If you said he had nothing to hide, Ye Cheng would never believe it.
If it really wasn't him, he would have been gloating and making sarcastic remarks when he heard that Ye Cheng's ship had been tampered with.
An explanation? That's impossible.
Moreover, he forgot one important principle: too much talk leads to mistakes.
Ye Cheng only said that his ship had been tampered with, but he didn't say what had been done.
He was able to say that he didn't add water to the fuel tank, but only installed the machine and the net.
If he hadn't done it, Ye Cheng would have eaten shit, even if it was live-streamed.
Now we need to figure out how to deal with him.
We need to talk to Xiaohu about this; it's only fun to do bad things if you have someone to discuss it with.
However, aside from Xiao Hu, there was another thing Ye Cheng wanted to figure out.
He strode over to Li the Cripple, but Li wasn't behind the counter. He tapped on the counter.
"Where's the boss? Are you doing business?"
"Coming, coming." Li the Cripple's voice came from behind the house, and the guy came out pulling up his pants.
"Oh, what a refined taste you've got! It's not even dark yet, and you're already nibbling on your wife?"
Li the Cripple gave a wry smile.
"What's the point of eating my wife? I've got a big one. My legs aren't very good, and it's killing me every time I go to the toilet."
"Then install a toilet! What are you thinking? Isn't it more comfortable to poop while sitting down?"
"Second brother, I can't poop while I'm sitting down..." Li the Cripple said helplessly.
Can't poop?
Ye Cheng was also impressed.
And believe it or not, there are quite a few like that.
Especially when writing about the elderly, who are used to squatting on the toilet, if you suddenly give them a Western-style toilet, they will be completely dumbfounded when they sit on it, and they will not feel anything at all.
Then, as conditions improved in later generations, some children who used to use a toilet at home switched to using a squat toilet in kindergarten. The teachers still taught them separately how to use a squat toilet.
"If you can't poop, just get used to it. Your leg didn't just happen overnight."
"We'll see. By the way, what do you want to buy? You're not going to buy salt again, are you? If you keep buying salt, I won't make any money."
"Come on, you won't starve if you just buy salt. Give me a pack of Liqun cigarettes."
"Here it is." Li the Cripple happily took an expensive pack of Liqun cigarettes from the shelf and handed it over.
"Damn it, you just take whichever is more expensive, right?" Ye Cheng complained.
"If I don't rip you off, Mr. Ye, who will I sell my good cigarettes to?"
"Alright, I want to ask you something."
"Yes, please go ahead, I'm listening."
Knowing his own worth, Li the Cripple sat down obediently and listened attentively.
"Chen Jinfeng, you know he spent 40,000 yuan to buy ten machines, right?"
"Yes, everyone in the village knows. It's all over the place."
"Do you know where he got that 40,000? He doesn't seem like a rich person at all."
Speaking of this, Li the Cripple shook his head, somewhat puzzled.
"I don't know either. This guy seems to have suddenly become rich, but I haven't seen him do anything."
"However, I remember one day he came to buy something from me and bought a pack of cigarettes. I was quite surprised that day and teased him, saying, 'Have you struck it rich?'"
"He even boasted to me a bit, saying things like how lucky he was to be smart."
"I asked him what he was so smart about, and he seemed to realize he had let something slip, so he didn't say anything more."
What does it mean to say you're smart?
Ye Cheng lit a cigarette and began to think.
Do you remember which day it was?
"Let me think about it." Li the Cripple took the opportunity to ask Ye Cheng for a cigarette. This guy was something else.
Sure enough, other people's cigarettes were particularly invigorating. Li the Cripple took a puff and immediately let out an "Ah!"
“I remember now, it was the day the Chen family bought the big ship. Chen Jinfa was particularly smug that day, not because he was excited about buying the big ship, but because of his cunning.”
"You know, right, second brother? That cunning expression on TV is exactly the same."
Whether he was cunning or not was none of Ye Cheng's business, but the timing was a bit strange. On the day he bought the big ship, he came to buy Hua Zi.
This isn't like him at all.
Buy a big ship?
Ye Cheng seemed to remember something. Someone had once boasted to him that their big ship was more expensive than his because the equipment was newer.
More expensive than mine?
He remembered that Chen Jinfa had bought the large ship, and Ye Cheng seemed to understand somewhat.
"Alright, remember to let me know if you have any news later." Ye Cheng didn't waste any more time, said goodbye to Li the Cripple, and left quickly.
When I got back, Xiaohu was already home.
After the two plotted for a while, Ye Cheng went home; he needed to prepare for his voyage the next day.
After dinner, Duan Chunsheng came over.
"Second brother, I heard your boat got damaged?" Duan Chunsheng asked with concern as soon as he entered the door.
"Well, it's nothing serious. It's just that the big ship needs to buy parts, which will take some time. For the time being, we can only go out to sea in a small boat, so we might not be able to take you, Uncle Duan, with us."
"What are you saying? There's no such thing as being able to bring someone or not. Bringing someone is a favor, not bringing someone is my duty. Look at what you're saying."
Ye Cheng liked this about Duan Chunsheng; he was particularly sensible.
"Have you found out who did it?"
Ye Cheng shook his head. "No, no one saw it at the dock at the time."
Ye Cheng didn't want to reveal Chen Jinfa's matter for the time being, as what he was about to do wasn't exactly a good thing.
It's pointless to drag someone else down with us.
"Alright, think positively. It's not a big deal. A small boat will do. Anyway, it's not easy to get swimming crabs these days," Duan Chunsheng said with a sigh.
"Huh? It's only been a short time and it's already difficult to manage?" Ye Cheng didn't remember that the fishing season had only been open for a short time.
"Isn't this all your doing? Making hundreds of thousands a day, who wouldn't be envious? Even people from other villages are coming over."
Forehead...
I guess I have no choice but to blame myself.
"So what do we do now? We can only use trawling nets to catch fish?"
“Everyone’s been using fish traps and longline fishing lately, you should switch to those too.”
Ye Cheng knows about longline fishing, but he's never actually done it much.
To put it simply, it involves tying hundreds or thousands of hooks to a rope, baiting each hook, throwing it into the sea, and then retrieving it overnight.
It's somewhat similar to a fish trap; one uses a net, and the other uses a hook.
"Uncle, I'm not very good at longline fishing."
