Fan Xiaozhu shrugged: "My brother didn't lie."
Upon hearing what the Fan brothers said, everyone's expression changed.
It's possible that Fan Dali lied, but Fan Xiaozhu probably wouldn't.
Some people's temperament is immediately recognizable.
If the two brothers were lying, and considering Old Man Fan was muttering incessantly to himself, making up some unclear terms, then it can only be said that the acting skills of the father and his two sons were truly superb.
Ah Qing cursed and said, "What's the point of calling the police?"
There is no physical evidence.
Human witnesses are not reliable either.
It's not that they look down on the police, but it's just too difficult to investigate. Finding the stolen fish traps is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The fish traps Wu An bought were just ordinary ones, nothing special.
To put it bluntly, whoever puts this thing on their boat owns it.
Wu An said, "Let's first see how many of the fish traps were stolen."
Old Fu steers the boat.
The sea was calm today, and the traps they set were all along the cliffs of the island, so they were very easy to find.
I went around in a circle.
Everyone looked extremely grim.
There were 22 traps in total, but only 15 can be found now.
Seven were stolen!
Based on previous income, the loss would be as high as six figures!
It would cost at least tens of thousands!
Ah Qing cursed, "Gantam, if I find out who did this, I'll harpoon him to death!"
"Brother, who do you think did it?"
"Could it be the Chen family?"
Wu An shook his head. He didn't know who did it. He had been making quite a splash lately, and many people at the docks were envious of him.
But the Chen family is unlikely to be involved.
Chen Baosheng is currently preoccupied with his own problems and is probably preoccupied with how to get revenge on Gu Jianfa and the others, so he shouldn't have any time to cause trouble for him.
It's highly likely that someone is jealous of him and has therefore harbored malicious intentions.
He was considering what to do about this, how to investigate it, how to mitigate the losses, and how to make an example of someone to deter others and prevent similar situations from happening again.
He checked the condition of several fish traps and found that there were still quite a few luck points left, so those who stole the fish traps probably didn't get much.
After all, only a few hours had passed between the time the trap was set and the time it was stolen.
The stolen fish trap still had a lot of luck points left.
If you don't use the tools that boost your luck, your luck will continue to exist.
This is essentially a mark that only he knows.
Those people stole the fish traps; as long as they remain on the ship, he can find them.
He figured that the thief wouldn't just leave the cage lying around.
After all, all fish traps are the same. Those people are greedy and will most likely think it's a waste to throw away these common fish traps, since they're on their own boat and therefore theirs.
Wu An pondered for a moment.
In any case, we need to find the fish trap as soon as possible.
If the other party destroys or reuses the device, it is estimated that only one charge will be used, and then he will have no way to use luck to lock down the thief.
He was considering whether or not to call the police.
If I report it to the police, will I be able to recover the losses?
I'm afraid it's unlikely.
Only he himself can confirm the value of the fish traps marked with luck; even if he finds these fish traps on someone else's ship, he can only stare helplessly.
If we call the police, will we alert the perpetrators?
But either you don't call the police, or you have to find it yourself.
no.
In that case, he wouldn't even be able to get on other people's boats.
We still need to call the police.
Wu An was somewhat frustrated. He should call the police, but he couldn't rely on them; he had to solve the problem himself.
He needs to think of a way to minimize the losses.
Old Fu asked, "Shall we go back?"
"How about we retrieve the fish trap?"
"just in case……"
Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.
Wu An also hesitated.
The fish trap still has a lot of luck points left, so it would be a loss to take it out now.
Wu Ping cautioned, "Salvage is possible, but what if there's too much fish?"
"There's no room on the ship right now."
"We don't have that much time to waste."
Some miscellaneous fish couldn't fit in the storage room, so they had to be piled up on the deck. If we didn't hurry back, they'd probably go bad.
Wu An said, "Let's go back first."
"Anyway, I'll be here before dawn tomorrow."
"There shouldn't be anyone else trying to take advantage of us during this night."
Fan Dali, who was still on the boat, said, "If you trust us, we can help keep an eye on things."
"Actually... we set up quite a few traps on the other side."
"This back and forth is too much of a hassle, so we plan to stay overnight and go back tomorrow after the salvage is completed."
Without much hesitation, Wu An extended his hand to shake hands with him and thanked him, saying, "Since you've said so, I won't stand on ceremony."
Fan Dali also extended his hand and said, "I am ashamed that I was unable to help you."
Wu An said, "They've already helped a lot."
A few polite words.
Fan Dali returned to their fishing boat.
Wu An then returned to his home port.
Along the way.
The frustrating incident of the stolen fish trap ruined everyone's good mood, and the atmosphere was very gloomy. Nobody wanted to talk, but Wu An was quite busy.
First, call Gao Qiangqi.
Tell him to pick up the goods.
It was quite noisy on Gao Qiangqi's end; they were saying they were auctioning off a giant grouper. He hung up after only a few words.
Then I called Yu Kailang and explained the situation.
After listening, Yu Kailang was furious: "Fine, I'll listen to you. This is a huge mess."
"Come to the office as soon as you get back."
"I will immediately open a case for investigation."
Wu An said, "Kai Lang, first of all, I have to thank you for taking my matter so seriously."
"We're friends."
"I won't beat around the bush."
"I'll make a rather unreasonable request: when I get back, you take me to visit the fishing boats that have been returning to port since this afternoon."
Yu Kailang was taken aback: "You mean you want me to take you with me on this investigation?"
"right."
“This…” Yu Kailang hesitated for a moment: “Then you have to promise me that I’ll just follow along.”
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Wu An breathed a long sigh of relief.
Ah Qing and the others, look over here.
Wu An said, "Yu Kailang is my friend, and he cares about him a lot."
Everyone nodded.
But no one had high hopes.
They care, but this matter isn't so easy to investigate.
Wu Ping comforted him, "A'an, be careful in the future. If things get really bad, we'll guard the cage after we've put it in."
Mei Wu also said, "Yes, you learn from your mistakes. Just be more careful next time."
Aqing didn't say anything, but angrily punched and kicked at the air.
Wu An smiled but didn't say anything.
Although no one explicitly told him to let it go, the implication was the same.
But he wasn't going to let it go.
Let whoever wants to suffer this loss take it; he's not going to.
The fishing boat swayed and rocked in the wind and waves. Night fell unnoticed. When they arrived at the dock, it was brightly lit. Gao Qiangqi was not there. It was A Jin who was receiving the goods.
Fishing boats are moored.
As soon as Ah Jin boarded the fishing boat, he immediately explained, "Brother An, my boss is still dealing with those big clients."
"Why."
"There's only one giant grouper, not enough to go around."
“Those bosses came all the way here, but they came up empty-handed and wouldn’t let go of my boss.”
