Chen Gui returned home.
After checking the doors and windows to make sure there were no eavesdroppers in the wall, I took out my phone and made the call.
Even so, he spoke in a low voice.
Just as I suspected, Wu An did not dock his fishing boat at our village's pier.
He went to the town's dock.
"You've been waiting, haven't you?"
"good."
"Then you can just wait to be caught like turtles in a jar."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
Chen Gui hung up the phone, looked at the night outside, and thought that Wu An was definitely going to die this time. He didn't feel happy, but rather a little heavy-hearted.
It's not that he's had a change of heart.
Rather, it's because he's acting strangely today.
If something happens to Wu An, Wu Yingwei will definitely suspect that it was him who did it.
There's nothing going on openly, but it's hard to say what might happen behind the scenes.
This was done a bit sloppily.
He had no other choice.
We can only be used as pawns.
Chen Gui put his phone on the table, took out some braised food from the refrigerator, and then took out a bottle of good wine from the cupboard, pouring himself a drink.
...
Wu An is still on his way.
I received a call from Old Mai.
Connected.
But it wasn't Old Mai's voice coming through the microphone, but a strange man's voice: "Wu An, right?"
“We have received a report that your fishing boat is suspected of operating in the sea in violation of the fishing moratorium.”
"Your cooperation with the investigation is required."
Where are you right now?
Wu An was stunned, his head buzzing, quite shocked by the words "illegal fishing during the closed season".
This is no joke.
If the allegations are confirmed and the amount involved is too large, it is very likely that he will have to step on a sewing machine.
He snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "That's impossible!"
"I'm on my way to the dock now."
"perhaps……"
Mai Hangyu said, "Ten minutes!"
Wu An shouted, "I'll be there in ten minutes."
The other party responded and hung up the phone.
Mai Hangyu looked anxious and asked, "Brother, what happened?"
Wu An forced himself to calm down: "What could be going on... someone's messing with me."
"No matter what, we need to get to the dock quickly."
"Don't let Old Mike suffer for me while I'm gone."
Mai Hangyu didn't say anything, but stepped on the gas, and the car sped up.
Wu An called Gao Qiangqi.
After learning about the situation, Gao Qiangqi asked, "A'an, did you violate any rules?"
"No."
"Then there's no problem." Gao Qiangqi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's meet at the dock as planned."
Wu An said, "Brother, you don't need to get involved in this. What if..."
"When it comes to making money, hiding from problems is not my style, Gao Qiangqi's style."
"Brother Qiang, thank you..."
"No need to thank me, I might not even be able to help."
After hanging up the phone, Wu An breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a little more at ease after chatting with Gao Qiangqi.
Who's messing with me?
Suddenly, the image of Chen Gui popped into Wu An's mind.
The old man acted quite unusually today.
Is it him?
But what makes him think that he can succeed by doing this to me?
Wu An shook his head.
Now is not the time to dwell on this; we need to get past this hurdle first.
He himself is definitely not the problem.
But what if someone is so audacious as to frame him?
...
We arrived at the town's dock.
The lights were on.
The fishing boat was already docked, and people were walking around on it. Wu An got out of the car, looked around, but didn't see Lao Mai.
Mai Hangyu also got out of the car, looking around anxiously.
A car pulled up immediately after, and Gao Qiangqi got out, saying, "I just tried to contact Lao Min, but his phone is off..."
He paused abruptly here because Gao Qiangqi had already spotted Lao Min in the law enforcement team.
No wonder he shut down his phone.
Law enforcement officers noticed them as well, and several men and women in uniforms ran over quickly. Old Min did not come over; he was probably in charge of security.
However, when Wu An and Gao Qiangqi looked over, he gave a barely perceptible nod as a greeting.
One of the young men in uniform scrutinized Wu An and said, "Wu An, I've already told you about the situation on the phone."
"Come back with us now for questioning."
Wu An asked, "I'd like to ask, do you believe someone who reports you?"
"What's the basis for that?"
"Did you find anything on my ship?"
The uniformed man's expression changed, and he shouted sternly, "You dare to question us?"
"I advise you not to be so arrogant."
"If we find anything, it won't be about you cooperating with the investigation!"
When Wu An heard him shout like that, he felt a surge of anger, but he held back. First of all, he could confirm that there was nothing wrong with his fishing boat and that the terrible situation of being framed and falsely accused, which he had anticipated, had not occurred.
He took a deep breath, didn't shout anything at the other person, and asked, "Where are the people on my ship?"
Someone nearby said, "He has already gone to the town's police station for investigation."
Upon hearing this, Wu An said, "Okay."
“I’ll go back with you.”
"As a law-abiding citizen, of course I must cooperate with the investigation!"
Old Mike suffered an undeserved misfortune. If he cooperates with the investigation, Old Mike's side should feel more at ease and should be fine, since Old Mike is not an ordinary citizen.
Mai Hangyu was also affected.
He also went out to sea on a fishing boat today and was taken away for investigation as a "person involved in the case".
Gao Qiangqi was not taken away, but he will still be questioned.
"According to the preliminary investigation, Wu An has been in close contact with you recently and has conducted multiple seafood transactions with you..." Wu An only heard the law enforcement officers say this much before he couldn't hear the rest after he got into the car.
He didn't pay much attention; he believed Gao Qiangqi could handle it.
Arrived at the police station.
It just so happened that Yu Kailang and his apprentice Lao Liu were on duty. The fishery administration and maritime authorities were conducting joint law enforcement. Since there was no office in the town, they were temporarily using the police station.
Yu Kailang and Lao Liu naturally had to cooperate as well.
When they saw Wu An walk in, both of them were taken aback. The same thought popped into their minds at the same time: things had only been quiet for a short while, how could something have happened again?
After these interactions, they had a hunch that while it seemed like Wu An was the one in trouble, someone else might actually be the one to suffer.
We arrived at the interrogation room.
They each took their own seats.
Facing Wu An's interrogators, the young man who had spoken at the dock shouted sharply, "Wu An, once you're here, honestly confessing is your only way out."
"Did you use illegal fishing gear such as fish traps, longlines, or even casting nets on this trip?"
Wu An stated bluntly, "I did not use it."
"Bang!"
The man slammed his hand on the table and said, "We searched your fishing boat and found no illegal fishing gear, but we did find a lot of seafood."
"Don't tell me that all that seafood on the fishing boat was caught by your hands, one by one?"
Wu An laughed: "You were right."
"You truly understand us fishermen, as someone who manages us."
That's why we're talking about expertise.
The uniformed man could tell that Wu An's words were sarcastic, and he rebuked him, "Your attitude is courting disaster."
"You have a serious problem."
"Our preliminary investigation reveals that you have a financial transaction involving hundreds of thousands of yuan with Gao Qiangqi at the seafood market in town."
"I can tell you straight, this amount of money is enough to get you sentenced and put you in jail!"
