Longline fishing is still 1 kilometer.
After collecting nearly 200 meters, aside from a few unlucky little fish that I accidentally encountered, there was mostly marine debris.
Since longline fishing doesn't require many people and he hadn't caught any fish, Wu An simply got up and walked to the side.
Aqing and Meiwu continued their longline fishing.
Old Fu saw Wu An approaching and asked, "Didn't you find anything?"
Wu An nodded.
Old Fu found it strange: "That shouldn't be the case."
Wu An smiled and said, "That's normal, isn't it?"
Old Fu: "..."
Generally speaking, it's normal to not catch any fish after half a day of longline fishing.
But it doesn't quite work when applied to them.
He muttered to himself, "Could it be that my luck has been ruined because the fish trap was stolen?"
He said, "Yes...? We've gotten a lot of seafood here, it's time to move on to another place."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Aqing shouted, "Holy crap, it's a big red spot!"
"What a huge red spot!"
Immediately afterward, Mei Wu's voice rang out: "Yeah, how come it's so big?"
Wu An and Old Fu exchanged a glance, then went over to look. Ah Qing had just finished removing the big red spot.
He held it horizontally in his arms; it was about the size of a child, and by sight, it probably weighed seven or eight pounds.
"Brother, look, isn't it big?" Aqing chuckled, completely forgetting his previous gloom.
Mei Wu said, "It's a pity it died, otherwise, with a bit of luck, we could have sold it for ten thousand yuan."
Such large red spots, different sizes, different prices; they're even more valuable when alive.
If you happen to meet a wealthy boss at the dock and sell your property on the spot, it's no joke that you could get tens of thousands of dollars.
Wu An laughed and said, "Whether it's alive or dead, if we can pull up a red-spotted fish, then this longline fishing trip won't have been in vain."
Old Fu clicked his tongue and said, "Even erythema can be detected, how rare, how rare indeed."
Aqing scoffed: "Old Fu, you're making a fuss over nothing again. This isn't the first time we've gotten red spots after throwing this away."
"But this is the first time I've seen one this big."
Hehehe.
The winch continued operating.
"Bro, you're lucky. Let me share your luck."
Wu An was helpless.
I couldn't even slack off; I guarded the area for dozens of meters, but found nothing.
The central erythema is like a fleeting moment.
Wu An stood up: "Change to someone else."
Aqing stepped up.
But after only a short while, Aqing grinned and exclaimed, "Brother, come and see, another red spot!"
Wu An was surprised.
Is it true or false?
"It's still alive!" Mei Wu shouted. "Old Fu, hurry, deal with it quickly, don't let this red spot die."
Old Fu quickly grabbed his tools and went over, used a needle to release the air, and said, "It's alright."
"I guess this red spot struggled for a while, and the water pressure didn't change much after it came out of the water."
"We'll hold out until we get back to the dock, there shouldn't be any problem."
Everyone was in high spirits.
Wu An was also very pleased and exclaimed, "Ah Qing, you're in luck today!"
"Thanks to you, our income today will definitely be good."
Aqing scratched her head and chuckled, "Of course, of course."
Mei Wu teased, "You're really not modest."
Aqing asked, "What's with the modesty? If you're praising me, do you think it's fake?"
"..." Mei Wu was speechless and rubbed his hands together: "Let me take over next."
Aqing nodded, and the two switched places.
Wu An did not get involved.
Seeing the two happy because of their catch and temporarily forgetting their previous distress is a good thing.
Not long after.
Mei Wu was so happy to receive a tiger-spotted cat that he couldn't stop smiling.
Although tiger grouper isn't as valuable as red grouper, this ten-pound tiger grouper can still fetch a thousand or so yuan, which isn't bad.
"Red spots, so many red spots."
Aqing shouted excitedly. Wu An walked over and looked at them, then said irritably, "What are you yelling about? This is clearly a bunch of Shi Jiugongs."
Aqing scratched her head: "When you look at it suddenly in the water, it looks exactly like a red spot."
Mei Wu said, "These stone Jiugongs are quite large, they should be quite valuable."
Wu An nodded.
Stone gourds are generally small, but they are excellent for making soup and are quite popular in the market.
All the longline fish were caught: four red snapper, two tiger snapper, and a seventy or eighty-pound rock goby.
The harvest was quite good.
"Return."
Wu An shouted.
Old Fu turned the helm, adjusted the direction, and began heading towards the town's dock.
...
On the other side.
Once his phone had a signal, Ma Weiqun contacted the vendors who sold stolen goods.
They're old acquaintances.
We've been working together for many years without any problems.
They receive goods at sea and don't leave any receipts or stubs, so that if one of them gets into trouble, the other person won't be implicated.
"Brother Ma."
"Ah Fu, today's harvest was so-so. I don't want these cages. You can calculate the cost together."
"Okay... these fish traps don't look particularly special."
"If it has any special markings, I can't sell it to you."
"Yeah, hehe, moving goods, moving goods."
Do the math.
The harvest of more than a dozen fish traps eventually sold for a little over 30,000 yuan.
After receiving the money, Ma Weiqun cursed, "Damn, this trip was a complete loss."
After dividing it up in small portions, there wasn't much money left in the end.
Ma Weiqun told his men to wait on the deck for a while, then went into the cabin alone to make a phone call.
"Hey... I almost got into a fight with Wu An and the others at sea..."
"The specifics...in the end they threw stones at them..."
"The money is a little over 30,000."
"Okay, you can host a dinner party tonight, and I'll come to your place for drinks and give you the money."
"Let's calm things down for now..."
"What? You want me to call the police?"
"They're using stones... Fine, strike first, you're not wrong."
"Don't worry, I'm reliable and won't be caught red-handed. As for my subordinates... they're all in the same boat, none of them will act recklessly."
"Okay, I'll call the police right away."
Ma Weiqun hung up the phone, spat on the ground, and began to scheme with a glint in his eyes.
He had to admit that the trick Lin Bin had given him was a bit risky, but also brilliant.
Without evidence, whoever speaks first becomes the victim, leading to conflicting accounts and giving the police a headache.
In the end, it naturally came to nothing.
He called the police, naturally contacting the local police station in his town.
"Brother Huang, I want to report this to the police."
"Today, my men were working at sea when we were attacked by a group of people."
"The one leading that group was the kid who came on the ship with the police that day to investigate the missing fish traps."
"I ran into that kid at sea. He insisted that I stole the fish trap, and then we got into an argument."
"The other party made the first move."
“I took a video. I was terrified at the time, and my hands were shaking a bit, so the video is a little blurry, but it should be able to serve as evidence.”
"Also, some of my boatmen were injured."
"Okay, I'll go to the police station and arrange for my men to go to the hospital to handle the situation and get the injuries assessed."
"I'm sorry to have troubled Brother Huang."
