Yu Kailang drank alcohol.
The car was left here; we walked to the police station.
He's off work.
It's currently voluntary overtime, and Wu An has already done his work; he definitely needs to report to his superiors promptly.
Wu An watched him walk away.
I took a breath.
Feeling a bit bored, I suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette.
I bought a pack of cigarettes from a nearby shop, but without opening it, I just stuffed it into my pocket and strode towards the market.
I needed to urinate halfway through the journey.
I ducked into a nearby alley, took a leak, and felt much better afterward. A lot of my negative emotions also disappeared with that pee.
Arrived at the office.
Gao Qiangqi wasn't there. When A Jin saw him come in and noticed that he didn't look too good, he asked, "Brother An, what happened?"
In the office, Aqing and the others were all there.
There are no outsiders.
Wu An told him about Yu Kailang's visit. After listening, Old Fu shook his head and sighed, while A Qing slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Brother, this is wonderful!"
Wu An looked over in surprise.
Oh... it's Aqing.
That's understandable.
Mei Wu said, "No matter what, it's a good thing that the losses can be made up."
Ah Jin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother An, to put it bluntly, Ma Weiqun and his gang are hateful, but stealing the cages isn't really a big deal here."
"If word got out that Ma Weiqun would go to jail for a few years for this, most people would probably sympathize with him."
"There might even be rumors that we used connections, leading to a harsher sentence for them."
"Since you're willing to compensate, you can ask for even more compensation, which is fine too."
Wu An nodded.
He had taken these things into consideration, so he readily agreed.
Aqing scratched her head, looking puzzled: "What are you guys talking about? Why do you seem so downcast after hearing such good news?"
Nobody paid him any attention.
Old Fu said in a serious tone, "A'an, go ask Fan Dali what kind of backer Ma Weiqun has."
Wu An suddenly realized: "Yes, I'll have him inquire about it."
Aqing jumped up and down anxiously, shouting, "Hey, hey, was my voice too soft?"
"Brother, why are you sighing?"
"This is great! I think Officer Yu must be helping us."
Wu An's hand was being shaken by A Qing like a wave, so he quickly chimed in, "Stop shaking me, tell me what happened."
With one hand behind her back and the other as a fan, Aqing looked as if she had seen through everything: "I know why you sighed, I can only say that you are too superficial."
Wu Andu laughed.
Everyone laughed along.
Ah Qing said confidently, "Officer Yu knew we were all holding our breath, so he specially brought Ma Weiqun out so we could take matters into our own hands and vent our anger."
Wu An nodded and said, "Then Officer Yu will have to arrest you right away."
Ah Jin added, "Ah Qing, Officer Yu said he'll keep an eye on Ma Weiqun. It's not just about letting Ma Weiqun cause trouble, but also about letting us cause trouble for him."
Aqing raised her index finger and shook it: "No, no, no, you're all being superficial."
"Wouldn't Officer Yu have considered this? He certainly had, which is why he reminded us not to take action on the shore."
"Then we'll take action at sea!"
"Brother, have you forgotten? You could have asked Tiger for help!"
"Orcas are so big, capsizing a fishing boat is child's play for them."
Wu An was sitting and drinking tea when he heard this. His eyes widened and his eyes darted around. "Damn, A Qing's brain is really sharp."
After thinking about it, he felt it was a good idea.
Upon further reflection, it really does seem feasible!
Mei Wu and Old Fu exchanged a glance, thinking that asking Hu Zi for help was a good idea.
Ah Jin raised his hand: "Wait, what do you mean? Ask Tiger for help?"
Who is it?
Aqing chuckled and said, "It's an orca."
“My brother’s friend at sea.”
"We're really good friends."
"..." Ah Jin almost couldn't help but laugh, but seeing Mei Wu and Old Fu's reactions, he asked with suspicion, "Ah Qing isn't joking?"
Mei Wu and Old Fu nodded.
Ah Jin looked at Wu An: "Brother An, do you really have such a friend?"
Wu An smiled and said, "I'm good at making friends. Having an orca friend is actually quite reasonable, isn't it?"
Ajin: "..."
Wu An put down his teacup and said, "Alright, then let's fight fire with fire. Ah Jin, could you find a chance to install a GPS tracker on Ma Weiqun's ship?"
Akin nodded: "That's easy."
Ah Qing put her hands on her hips and said smugly, "See, see, all of you combined are not as smart as me alone."
He laughed triumphantly.
Ah Jin said, "Ah Qing, wait a minute before you laugh. Let me ask you, how did Officer Yu know that the orca could help? If he didn't know, how could he have made arrangements in advance? It was purely a lucky accident, you know?"
Aqing turned around confidently: "How should I know?"
"Ask Officer Yu about Officer Yu's matter."
"I know you're not convinced that I'm smarter than you, but there's no use being convinced about this."
Ajin: "..."
He finally understood what it felt like to be a scholar who couldn't reason with a soldier.
Wu An asked, "Have you settled the accounts?"
"Yes, this is the order form."
Wu An took the order and looked at it. Most of the orders were round numbers. As usual, they divided the remaining few kilograms and took them home to eat.
The yellowfin tuna weighed 404 jin (approximately 222 kg) and sold for 70 yuan per jin, earning 28,000 yuan. Including the shrimp, mullet, mackerel, eel, and barracuda, the total income was 119,000 yuan.
He took the money.
After saying goodbye to A Jin, I got up to leave. It was already late, past 7 p.m. A Qing and the others had already had a simple meal at the market, so there was no need to linger any longer.
After splitting the profits, Wu An still had 95,000 left. After deducting the costs, this trip to sea brought in 90,000. Over two days and one night, that averaged out to 40,000 to 50,000 per day.
It's alright.
The catch was one thing, but the main gain was the friendship with the orcas, and also ambergris. I'll have to find some time to go to the county to inquire about the market price another day.
It would be best to get rid of it as soon as possible.
He was a little worried about leaving it at home like that.
Back home.
Dad, my brother and sister-in-law are still awake. Seeing that he smelled of alcohol, they said that he was drinking as soon as he got back, which was bad for his health. They asked him if he was hungry, and Wu An quickly said he was.
His sister-in-law didn't have time to say anything to him and got up to serve the dishes and rice.
A box used to hold money.
Upon seeing this, Wu Yingwei remarked, "Be discreet when placing your money."
Wu An said, "There are no outsiders here, Dad. Should I keep my guard up against you or leave my brother and sister-in-law alone?"
Wu Yingwei was taken aback: "Go deposit all that money."
Wu An said, "I need to use this frequently, and it's troublesome to save it back and forth. Besides, I don't have the time for that."
As they were talking.
He took the ambergris out of his pocket and put it in the box.
Seeing that he had placed a lump of stone on a cloth, Wu Yingwei asked curiously, "Why are you putting that stone so neatly?"
Wu An casually replied, "This is ambergris."
"What?" Wu Yingwei's eyes widened: "Ambergris...where did you get this?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Ping also came over to take a look.
Wu An said, "I found it in the sea."
Wu Yingwei said, "Your luck is truly incredible. These three pieces of ambergris are quite heavy; they must fetch a good price, right?"
Wu An said, "I haven't had a professional look at it yet, but I estimate it will sell for around 100,000 yuan."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingwei said, "What if it gets burgled if we leave it like this at home?"
"No, I'll buy a safe for the house tomorrow."
"I don't know if they sell them in town."
Wu An smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Dad."
Having a safe at home is a good thing. You'll inevitably need to keep money at home sometime in the future, and if it gets stolen, it'll be a real headache. Having a safe gives you peace of mind.
Wu An put the money away, took a shower at home, and went back to his old house to rest. The weather forecast showed that the weather would not change tomorrow, so he could go out to sea as usual. He went to bed early and got up early.
...
On the other side.
The lights were still on in the police station.
Yu Kailang was yawning and writing some documents when Liu Long came in, poured a cup of tea, and put it down: "I heard from the boss that you've already made arrangements with A'an?"
Yu Kailang put down his pen and sighed, "A'an is quite cooperative."
"I feel so sorry for Ah An because I was investigating the case."
Liu Long patted him on the shoulder: "Since Ma Weiqun is carrying an even bigger case, we need to follow the clues and release Ma Weiqun."
“Once the case is solved, the two of us will go together to apologize to Ah An.”
Yu Kailang smiled and said, "Okay."
