The men who came to buy the boat looked at each other.
"Wu An?"
"Is this the person who used this ship to go out to sea twice, reaped a great harvest, and earned tens of thousands?"
"Then his revenge is justified."
"Yeah, if it were me, I might have done the same thing."
They started discussing it.
Blocking an engine with sugar is a really ruthless trick.
Unless there is a deep-seated hatred, it's practically impossible to do such a thing.
Why?
Because white sugar is insoluble in oil, it cannot dissolve properly and will cause blockages in oil pumps, oil pipes, and other components. The entire oil circuit needs to be cleaned and inspected, and replacements may be necessary, which is both time-consuming and expensive.
For example, right now, it won't start.
Most importantly, the ship had an accident, which is very unlucky.
Moreover, being watched by others, who would dare to buy it?
What if I buy it and get scammed?
They exchanged a few words and then disembarked.
Guang Liangjun couldn't care less about selling the boat at this moment; the engine was destroyed, and he had to call the police immediately.
Take out your phone.
Call your relatives and explain the situation.
“It was Wu An, that kid did it. I refused to sell him the fishing boat, so he held a grudge and took revenge on me. The motive couldn’t be stronger.”
"I'm coming to the station right now."
"wait for me."
Guang Liangjun rushed to the police station.
The people who received him were still Lao Liu and Yu Kailang.
The two men were expressionless, their hearts already dead. Although Guang Liangjun was speaking human language, to them it sounded like countless ducks quacking.
Yu Kailang couldn't take it anymore and repeatedly emphasized, "Wu An has an alibi."
"This is the transcript."
“We’ve also investigated. Do you think we colluded with him to give false statements?”
Guang Liangjun was so angry that he shouted, "Yes, I suspect you're all in cahoots now!"
"I need someone else to handle my case."
"Someone come quick!"
The case still needs to be heard.
After all, an engine costs tens of thousands of yuan, so the amount involved is not small.
Guang Liangjun shouted, "I lost more than just an engine. Now that the ship is damaged, its value has plummeted. The loss is 100,000. Write 100,000 down."
Yu Kailang rolled his eyes. "How much do you think I can just say?"
But.
The dock area is even harder to investigate than the village. It's too big, and there are no surveillance cameras near where the fishing boats are moored. I heard that surveillance cameras will be installed soon, and there will be cameras at every intersection in the town in the future.
Yu Kailang really hoped that day would come soon, so that it would be much easier for them to check.
This time, having learned from the previous experience, the leaders did not ask Wu An to cooperate with the investigation again, but instead asked Yu Kailang to make contact first.
Yu Kailang made a phone call.
Wu An had just seen Gu Anran off when he saw Yu Kailang calling. After thinking for a moment, he answered the call.
"Wu An, I won't beat around the bush anymore. Someone poured sugar into Guang Liangjun's fishing boat engine. He came to the police and said it was you who took revenge."
"Don't listen to his nonsense," Wu An chuckled and said, "I have an alibi."
Yu Kailang was exasperated and said, "I know."
"Contact me if you have any leads."
Wu An responded.
Aqing asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Wu An smiled and said, "There's something funny. Someone poured sugar into Guang Liangjun's fishing boat engine."
Ah Qing clapped her hands and said happily, "He deserves it!"
"He must have offended someone."
"It's truly divine retribution that he refused to sell the ship to us."
Hearing the two talking, Mei Yueqin was quite happy to learn about the matter and said, "Every cloud has a silver lining. Luckily, the boat wasn't transferred to someone else's name, otherwise we would have been the ones who suffered the loss."
"People must not do evil, for Heaven and Mazu are watching."
Wu An glanced at the sky.
Sister-in-law, what you're saying is making me a little nervous.
As Gu Anran left, Sister Duan and the other villagers who were always curious about the matter gradually dispersed. Everyone asked who Gu Anran was, but Mei Yueqin only said that she was Wu An's friend.
She dared not say more, fearing that saying too much would lead to making mistakes.
When it was time for dinner, Aqing left, and Mei Yueqin couldn't persuade her to stay.
noon.
Wu Yingwei returned home for the first time ever, and his older brother also came back.
Mei Yueqin quickly cooked two more dishes, and the family sat down to eat. Wu An also briefly explained the situation. Wu Yingwei didn't say anything, but his furrowed brows clearly relaxed.
Wu Ping also said, "I knew A'an would be alright."
Mei Yueqin exposed her lie: "Then why did you come back?"
"I'm still worried, but Dad's back now."
"The food the village committee cooked today didn't taste good."
"Dad, are you still being picky?"
"Eat your food."
Wu An didn't say anything, but happily ate his rice, clearly enjoying the atmosphere.
...
After dinner, Aqing came running over, and the two of them grabbed their gear and headed to the beach.
Old Mai had something to do, so he couldn't go fishing and could only go beachcombing.
Just as he reached the beach, he ran into Lin Hu again. Just like in the morning, Lin Hu glanced at him and quickened his pace.
Originally, Wu An hadn't thought much about it.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
Perhaps... someone poured sugar into Guang Liangjun's fishing boat engine. It's not that someone wants to mess with Guang Liangjun, but rather with him.
If Guang Liangjun hadn't suddenly changed his mind last night, the fishing boat would already be his.
Considering their encounter with Lin Hu at the dock last night, where he seemed to be in a hurry, and their two encounters with him today, where he appeared guilty and suspicious, this further reinforces the impression that they hadn't done anything wrong.
Lin Hu poured sugar into the fishing boat's engine!
Lin Hu is taking revenge on him!
Holy crap!
So, Guang Liangjun took the blame for him?
Thinking about this, Wu An actually agreed with his sister-in-law's words. Every cloud has a silver lining. At the same time, he even felt some sympathy for Guang Liangjun.
This guy is despicable, but he's also truly pitiful.
Ah Qing asked from the side, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"You're still laughing."
"Stop laughing, it's giving me the creeps."
Wu An said, "Aqing, you're right. Lin Hu did something bad and is now feeling guilty because he sees we're up to no good."
Aqing was taken aback: "Is he feeling guilty about what we did?"
"What did he do to us?"
Wu An said meaningfully, "He destroyed my ship."
Aqing was completely confused.
Brother's boat?
Wasn't the ship taken back by Guang Liangjun?
After a while, Aqing suddenly realized: "Brother, it was...it was Lin Hu who did it?"
Wu An nodded: "Most likely."
Ah Qing said excitedly, "So that's why you were laughing like that, you were happy! What are we waiting for? Let's tell Officer Yu right away!"
Wu An shook his head: "No rush."
"It's no use saying that; without evidence, you'll be released just like me."
"We need to find evidence."
Aqing scratched her head: "Then we probably won't find it. We don't have any evidence of what we did."
Wu An said, "Let's look for it first."
He called Gao Qiangqi and Lao Fang, saying he wanted to see the surveillance footage from last night, especially the footage from the shops near where the fishing boats were moored.
Gao Qiangqi and Lao Fang readily agreed.
This wasn't difficult for them; it was just a matter of making a few phone calls.
Wu An agreed to go see it in the afternoon.
Aqing asked, "Brother, are you going to help Officer Yu solve the case?"
Wu An smiled and said, "Solving cases is the police's job."
"I have other plans."
"I'm determined to get this fishing boat."
