But the group did not lose heart.
Mr. Lin confidently assured him, "I've already learned how, and I'll definitely be able to catch one next time."
Hearing this, Lin's mother curled her lip and said, "Come on, you always said you could do it, but I've never seen you catch anything."
Lin's father didn't mind her saying that and smiled, saying, "Before, I hadn't mastered the key techniques. This time, I learned from Lao Xu, and I already know how to fish. Just wait, sooner or later I'll catch some fish for you to eat."
Lin's mother smiled, "Okay, then I'll wait."
Su He then asked Old Man Su how he felt.
Old Su said with some regret, "I think the fish in this river are quite big. If the water were shallower, I could just go down and catch them. I used to catch a lot of fish in the village, but I've never fished before. I still haven't gotten the hang of it after all this time."
Su He comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, fishing is all about patience. You can't rush it. You'll catch something sooner or later."
Lin's father chimed in, "Yes, fishing is all about waiting. We don't have much to do all day anyway, so we just use it to pass the time."
Old Su said regretfully, "It's a pity that so many fish are not available to eat."
Su He hurriedly said, "It's a pity you can't go into the water either. This river is quite deep. I heard that the deepest part is seven or eight meters. Before, when people didn't pay attention, many children would come to swim in the summer. Every year, many people died. Since then, no one has dared to go into the water."
Old Su was also a little scared when he heard this, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Heya, I won't go into the water. My old arms and legs dare not go in."
Hearing him say that, everyone was relieved.
When they got home, they were inevitably given another lecture by Grandma Su.
However, everyone quickly comforted her.
...
The next day, Su He brought her shoes to the office.
After meeting the rest of the team, he told them about his discovery. The others took out the shoes and looked at them, but couldn't see anything special.
"Can you tell if a shoe belongs to Li Jingjing just by looking at it?" Zhou Yan asked.
Su He shook her head. "I called the evidence team, and they said that even if it's undamaged, it's difficult to test. This one has been soaking in water for a long time, so there's no way to test it."
"What's the use? Can you be sure these are Li Jingjing's shoes?"
"No!" Su He shook her head again. "I can only confirm that it is a size 36 shoe and that it is not damaged. I brought it back to ask Li Jingjing what size her feet are. If the size matches, I can go to the department store and ask how many people have recently bought this size from this brand."
"Isn't this like finding a needle in a haystack?" Wang Aiguo exclaimed in surprise.
“There’s nothing we can do about it.” Su He sighed. “We have no information about Li Jingjing right now, and she’s been missing for so long. The situation is very urgent. We need to find her as soon as possible.”
"How about we try retrieving it from the river?" Zhou Yan suggested.
Before Su He could say anything, Qi Yang shook his head. "This is too much of a fuss. If it were confirmed that the body was in the river, that would be fine, but right now we only have one shoe, and we don't even know if it belongs to Li Jingjing, so we're going to retrieve it. I doubt the higher-ups will agree."
Su He sighed as well. Yes, after all, there was no way to be sure that these were Li Jingjing's shoes.
"So what do we do now?"
"According to Captain Su, the team split into two groups: one group went to the department store to inquire about the shoe sales, and the other group went to Li's parents to ask about Li Jingjing's shoe size."
"good"
