Seeing that Wu An's expression was a bit off, Yu Kailang said, "That person seemed to be gloating a little. Let it go, don't take it too seriously. Anyway, we won't have any dealings with each other again."
Wu An nodded, smiled, and asked, "How many more fishing boats are there to check?"
Huang Xuejun looked at the dock manager, an old man, who said, "There should be seven or eight more boats."
Wu An shook his head: "Then let's not watch it."
"I've thought about it, and this method of searching is definitely not the way to go."
"Even if I could recognize it, the markings are obvious. The people who steal the cages aren't blind; they'd definitely take care of it."
"Maybe... my fish traps were on the fishing boats I searched, but I just didn't find them."
"I'm afraid it would be useless for me to follow along, so I won't obstruct the investigation."
Yu Kailang said, "Ah An, it was what Lao Ma just said..."
Wu An said, "What he said makes sense."
Yu Kailang and Liu Long exchanged a glance and nodded. Since Wu An was no longer insisting, they naturally didn't need to rush to have him investigate the case, as that would have been against the rules anyway.
Huang Xuejun smiled and said, "It's good that the handsome guy can understand."
"Don't worry, even if you don't come along, we will still handle the case seriously."
"It's about your case, isn't it? It's really hard to investigate... Haha, but it's not certain, there's still hope."
The person was escorted all the way to the parking lot.
After watching the car leave, Huang Xuejun walked back, smoking a cigarette. He arrived at a small bar not far from the dock, where Old Ma happened to be smoking at the door, so he waved to him.
"Want a drink?"
"No, thank you."
"Brother Huang, don't be so polite. I was dragged to work overtime after I got off work so late. I walked so far, I need to have some late-night snacks to tide me over, otherwise I'll definitely be hungry tonight."
"Then eat something, but don't drink alcohol."
"OK……"
Upon entering the tavern, besides Old Ma, several of the ship's helpers were also present. After taking a couple of bites of food, Old Ma had already filled his glass with wine. Upon seeing this, Huang Xuejun glared and said, "Didn't we agree not to drink?"
"I just poured it out without thinking, Brother Huang. If you're not going to drink it, I'll just pour it out."
"Well, we can't waste it, just this one cup."
They drank and drank, one bottle after another.
"What did the people from the neighboring town find out when they came to investigate?"
"What a load of crap."
"Can't find it?"
"They are investigating, but I expect it will fizzle out."
"I heard the losses were quite substantial."
“You also sold mantis shrimp today. Those shrimp are valuable. If the losses weren’t so great, you wouldn’t have made such a big fuss.”
Upon hearing this, Old Ma and his helpers exchanged glances.
"Don't gloat. That kid got discouraged by what you said and just gave up and didn't dare to do it again."
"I'm not gloating." Old Ma smiled to himself, thinking that I was just provoking him. What good was it for that kid to follow along? He didn't find anything after touching the trap. Checking like this was just a joke. It was right to give up early. He continued, "If you ask me, it was his own carelessness. There are plenty of people who use traps. Why steal his and not others', right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, let's drink."
"Come on, drink."
I drank alcohol.
Huang Xuejun left, Lao Ma paid the bill, and he and several helpers also left the tavern.
"Brother Ma, does this mean everything's alright?"
"Nonsense, Brother Huang already said that if they can't find it, then it's definitely fine."
"That's good."
"Money in hand, might as well spend it." Old Ma said with a sneer, smoking a cigarette. "Let's keep an eye on that kid and try to pull one on him next time."
"Still stealing?"
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as we're careful not to get caught in the act, we'll be fine." Old Ma finished speaking and exhaled a smoke ring. At first, when Wu An and the others boarded the boat, he was actually quite nervous.
That's why he said those things to provoke Wu An. In the end, Wu An didn't find anything, so he was relieved and even pretended to advise Wu An to search carefully.
Thinking about it now, he can't help but laugh.
That kid must be trying to be funny.
but.
We'll have to be careful when we steal from him again. That kid's not stupid. If he gets robbed once, he might use some kind of mark on the next trap.
"At worst, I'll just throw the stolen fish traps into the sea," Old Ma muttered to himself.
...
Inside the car.
Yu Kailang was driving, and Liu Long was sitting in the passenger seat. The two of them would occasionally glance at Wu An sitting in the back through the rearview mirror, both looking somewhat depressed.
The atmosphere was somber.
After all that, they went around in circles and ended up with nothing.
We arrived at the town's dock.
Wu An got off the bus.
Yu Kailang also got out of the car and said, "A'an, don't worry..."
Wu An smiled and said, "Kailang, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I believe you will do your best to help me investigate."
"However, I also know that it is difficult to investigate."
"If we can't find it, I won't blame you."
"I guess I'm just unlucky. It was my own carelessness that led to someone targeting my trap without me even noticing."
"I will be extremely careful from now on."
Hearing Wu An say this, Yu Kailang felt even more distressed and said, "Fine, it's good that you think this way."
After exchanging a few words, Wu An walked towards the dock.
Yu Kailang returned to the car and couldn't help but pat the steering wheel. Liu Long said, "Is A'an giving up?"
Yu Kailang said, "More or less."
"After all... this is too difficult to investigate."
"But I must investigate, and I must get to the bottom of it."
Liu Long patted him on the shoulder without saying anything. He was quite happy to receive Wu An's call, after all, he had tasted success several times before.
result.
This case is too complicated.
...
Wu An walked towards where the fishing boats were moored, humming a little tune. He was actually quite relaxed, as he had gained a lot from his busy work.
At least the murderer has been identified.
How to retaliate?
He was thinking of finding someone to beat Old Ma up, knock him unconscious, give him a good beating, and break his hand so he would know there were some things he shouldn't touch.
It's not that it's impossible.
But if we just vent our anger, what about the losses?
Yu Kailang reminded him that he had to find a way to get back the lost fish trap, including the seafood inside!
Thinking of what Lao Ma said to him at the end, and that smug look on his face, Wu An couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
Do you think you're safe?
So you're now carefree and have achieved profound knowledge?
I can't find it?
Actually!
You're already a red name on my site!
The more unscrupulous Lao Ma is, the more advantageous it is for him.
When Heaven wishes to destroy someone, it first makes them go mad.
We arrived at the dock.
Seeing that the unloading wasn't finished, Wu An was somewhat surprised and asked, "What's going on? It's not done yet?"
He glanced at the time; it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
Ah Jin explained, "Brother An, you're back. My boss and his men will be here soon. We'll hold a covert auction on site."
Simply put
The goods are brought up, and everyone writes a price on a sign; the highest bidder wins.
Other fish might not need this, but the large yellow croaker absolutely deserves it, and this will maximize the value of the large yellow croaker.
Wu An suddenly realized.
Ah Jin asked, "Have you found the thief?"
Wu An shook his head.
Ah Jin comforted him, "Brother An, don't take it too seriously. Just consider it charity given to the dog."
Wu An smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
A-Jin was taken aback. Did he have that much influence?
Ah Qing, who was listening nearby, asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you planning to give up?"
Wu An shrugged: "Your cheerful brother will help with the investigation."
As they were talking.
A group of people walked over here.
