He just wanted to try his luck. If he could meet someone, he would call the police in advance and take the credit for it.
"Hey, are you still trying to imitate Jiang Taigong's fishing tricks?" The fisherman said, "How about I give you some bait? I have plenty."
An Jingzhi shook his head, "I never use bait when fishing."
The fisherman stopped trying to persuade him. Although he had put out the bait, the result was similar to An Jingzhi's - nothing.
"Hey, hey, hey! Old man, pay attention, there might be a fish taking the bait!" The fisherman was more excited than An Jingzhi when he saw the movement of An Jingzhi's fishing rod.
An Jingzhi gently lifted the pole, but found that it was extremely heavy and could not be pulled at all, and it even tended to float down.
This was the place he had specifically calculated where the corpse would pass, and it looked like he had hit it.
The fisherman didn't even care about his own rod, and stood up to help An Jingzhi grab the rod.
"Old man, listen to me. We have to loosen the line first, then reel it in, loosen it again, and reel it in again. Only when it has lost all its strength can we catch the fish."
The fisherman was teaching while making the movements, when suddenly he felt something was wrong. What kind of fish was so heavy?
He peered underwater and squinted to spot a dark mass that looked like seaweed.
"Uncle, did you catch some garbage? It looks so black and a bit like seaweed."
An Jingzhi suggested: "How about you take off your sunglasses and take a look?"
"It's the same if you take it off—"
The fisherman took off his glasses while exerting force on his hands. When he saw clearly what was hooked on the fishing rod, his heart stopped for a second. A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He screamed loudly and loosened his hands.
"ah--"
What was hooked was not garbage, but a dead person's hair!
The police who received the alarm quickly dispatched.
The fisherman was so frightened that he was shaking with fear. Whenever he closed his eyes, he could think of that face that was soaked beyond recognition.
"I, I don't know what it is," he shuddered. "It looked so black, I thought it was garbage. Who knew it was actually..."
He glanced at An Jingzhi. Why was this old man so calm?
Even the police who questioned him were very surprised, "Old man, are you okay?"
An Jingzhi briefly told him the process of discovering the body. He seemed to be very clear and organized, and he didn't seem to be frightened.
But how could an ordinary person remain so calm when suddenly seeing a corpse soaked in that state?
The policeman opposite suspected that An Jingzhi had some story.
"What could happen? He's just a human being. A dead person is not a human being?" An Jingzhi said calmly.
"Uncle, that's awesome." The police gave him a thumbs up.
"By the way, sir, please don't tell this gentleman about this for now."
An Jingzhi nodded, "I understand. When investigating a case, we can't let the suspect be alerted in advance."
"I know this area well, so if you need any help, feel free to help."
"Okay, sir. We'll come to you if we have anything to ask."
