Chapter XII: Investigation of Cases (II)
"That's it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhou Chen left the port and walked along the coastline for a long time, arriving at a place with many reefs.
Zhou Chen has been to this place twice, and the harvest is good, so he still chose this place today.
He walked over to a large rock, put down the two large red plastic buckets that he had been carrying in his hands, and removed the lid of one of them, which contained a towel, an empty plastic bag, a diving goggles, and a pair of diving shoes.
Zhou Chen took off his sportswear again, revealing the wetsuit that covered his whole body. After taking off his sneakers and replacing them with diving shoes, he put on his diving goggles and his preparations were complete.
This piece of equipment can only be regarded as a bargain, but it still costs him a lot of money. Because there is only one store selling this kind of diving equipment on the entire island, it is in Bluestone Town, so it is a monopoly business.
"I don't know how many fish I have to catch to recoup my costs. ”
Shaking his head slightly, Zhou Chen didn't think much about it, ran to a big reef in three or two steps, and then kicked his feet hard, and jumped into the sea with a "poof".
When he got underwater, Zhou Chen only swam for a short while, and soon saw a school of fish. But he did not immediately go forward to catch it, because he recognized that the fish were of a relatively cheap species and were not worth his investment.
The more expensive fish usually require him to dive deeper to see them. The price of fish is even proportional to the depth of its presence at the bottom of the sea.
Zhou Chen continued to dive, he concentrated on observing the surroundings, and after a while, he was lucky to find a school of white sea fish. He could recognize that this fish was an upper-mid-grade ingredient that could be sold for a good price.
At the moment, he increased the frequency of his body twisting, increasing his speed to get closer to the past. The fish also reacted quickly, and they scattered in a hurry and fled in all directions, but Zhou Chen, with his underwater agility, still quickly caught one of them.
The size of this fish was just about half an arm's length. This is because he will not catch a very small fish in order to ensure efficiency. But no matter how big it is, he can't control it with his current strength, so he consciously chose this size.
Crash!
On the sea, with a splash, Zhou Chen grabbed the fish and came out of the water, and then with a force in his hand, he threw the fish towards the shore, and with a parabola, the fish was accurately thrown into a red vat.
Zhou Chen was able to throw the fish into the bucket so accurately, still relying on his soul strength close to the spirit level.
Wow!
With his head plunged into the sea, Zhou Chen dived into the water again.
After about three hours, both plastic vats were seven or eight percent full.
Because the fish are not very large, but they are not small, the number of fish in two buckets is actually not much, which is also because it is really difficult to catch fish with bare hands underwater.
In addition, Zhou Chen has the underwater ability of Leper Eighteen, if he wants to be an ordinary person, it is estimated that he will not even want to catch one, but will be embarrassed by the power that erupts when these fish are struggling.
And even Zhou Chen, after catching these two buckets of fish, was already exhausted, and his whole body was sore.
"If it weren't for the fact that live fish were more valuable, it would have been much easier for me to catch fish with a dagger. ”
Zhou Chen had already gone ashore at this time, wiped his face with a towel, wiped off his hair and the water on his body, and put on a sportswear again.
He put the goggles and shoes he had removed into a plastic bag, then lifted two large buckets with lids on them, and left here to walk towards the bus stop at the port.
At the speed of a bus, it doesn't take much time to get back to the village from the port. But because the waiting time was too long, Zhou Chen returned to Qingshi Third Village after more than a while.
Zhou Chen did not go home directly, but carried two large barrels to the village vegetable market, where he found a fishmonger and sold two buckets of fresh live fish to the other party.
Zhou Chen didn't waste time setting up his own stall there, and then selling the fish one by one. He sold it directly to the fishmonger in one go, which saved him a lot of time, although he made less money.
Among the fish he caught, the species were not consistent, but they were all of the kind that were not cheap, which was the result of his selective catch.
Eventually, he exchanged the fish for 1,150 Union Coins.
"The harvest is good, I earned 230 more than yesterday, it seems that we still have to choose expensive fish to catch, quality is not weight, and it is a waste of time to catch more cheap fish. ”
Zhou Chen knew that he was very special in picking and choosing to catch fish, because others would not have learned this practice without his diving skills.
Since he made money, of course, he also had to treat himself, Zhou Chen continued to walk around the vegetable market, bought some ingredients, and then went home with a full load.
"Although my underwater skills are very strong, it is still too difficult to catch fish with my bare hands, and it is too burdensome for my hands, and my strength is a little unbearable with my body that has only been exercising for more than a month. ”
It hadn't been long since Zhou Chen started fishing, and he was also in the groping stage, and after a few days, his hands were blistered, which made him know that he still needed a lot of improvement.
"Maybe I'll still need to buy a net. ”
While thinking about it, Zhou Chen finally arrived at the door of the house.
He reached for the key in his pocket and opened the door.
"Brother Ahai, you're back!"
To Zhou Chen's surprise, Xiaomei was still in his room, and when she saw him open the door, she greeted him.
"What? You want to eat with me for dinner? Then you're in for a treat, I'm trying to cook a few more dishes tonight. ”
Zhou Chen walked into the room and said with a smile to Xiaomei.
"No, brother," Xiaomei hurriedly shook her head and said seriously, "Today, the police came to look for you and said that they wanted you to assist in the investigation of the case, and it was about those two missing villains." ”
"Oh, those two guys are missing, how did they find me?"
Zhou Chen asked with a puzzled look.
"Well, that one is about the same age as you, grandpa said that he was a big man, maybe a contractor, and he said that he would come back tomorrow, let me tell you not to go out tomorrow. ”
Xiaomei looked at Zhou Chen and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, isn't it just to assist in the investigation, it's normal, who told me to have a conflict with those two people. ”
Zhou Chen said comfortingly, and said, "Regardless of it, I'll start cooking, you can do it." ”
"Hmm. ”
Xiaomei saw that Zhou Chen didn't take it to heart, so she also relaxed.
......
Early the next morning, Zhou Chen was doing indoor sports in the house, and there was a knock on the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw two young people in police uniforms and an extraordinary-looking teenager.
"This is the chief of our Qingshi Town Police Department, Lin Mao. ”
One of the young policemen stepped forward to speak, looked at Zhou Chen and continued: "You are Li Hai, right? Regarding the case of Zhang Hui and Zhang Yao's disappearance, we would like to ask you some questions, and we hope that you can cooperate with the investigation." ”
"I will definitely cooperate with the investigation, please come in first. ”
Zhou Chen's face naturally led the three of them into the door, but he was shocked by the word "Lin Mao" in his heart.
"Lin Mao! A genius who plays a lot of roles in the book, how could he be on this island!?"
