Chapter 36: The Sardine Feast
Fishing tournaments are in full swing and the catches are quite abundant.
The most important thing is that the atmosphere on the cruise ship has been greatly improved.
All the fish are processed on site and then sent to the freezer for refrigeration, fishing, killing, cleaning, and refrigeration.
"It's a fish, it's still a big fish!" Chen Yaodong clutched the boom and called for others to come over and help.
His fishing rod was pulled like a curved bow, and the line kept being put out, and if he couldn't bear it, he would change to someone else.
This scene attracted everyone's attention, and they ran over to see the excitement.
After an hour-long struggle, the giant in the sea finally revealed its true face, it was a huge bluefin tuna, more than two meters long, and this fish was at least two hundred pounds.
Many people have never seen such a big fish, and they have stepped forward to take pictures one by one.
Chen Yaodong kept rubbing his hands excitedly, and repeatedly said that he would cut this fish into sushi in a while.
"Look, dolphins!"
Zhou Yao shouted excitedly.
I saw a large number of dolphins not far away, they lined up and headed towards the cruise ship quickly, their white-gray bodies jumping high out of the water, and then plunging down and jumping up again, the number of which was not less than hundreds.
In front of them was a rapidly moving black mass.
It was a huge school of sardines, far more than anyone could imagine.
Countless sardines are constantly tumbling and jumping in the water, sometimes scattering, sometimes gathering, getting closer and closer to the cruise ship.
It turned out that this was a group of dolphins hunting, and most of such pictures appeared on TV, but I didn't expect everyone to bump into it this time.
The tourists took out all the nets, the sardines are so dense that they don't need extra movements at all, and they stick out of the net pocket and catch a bag full of sardines.
The angler stopped fishing and switched directly to anchor hook anchor fish.
A large number of sardines were fished up, and the ones that had not had time to be cleaned up were directly poured on the deck, and the sardines crackled and jumped on the deck, and the scene was spectacular.
The number of nets is limited, and the nets are so small that even with all their best efforts, it is impossible to catch them all.
The sardines, who used the cruise ship as a shelter, rushed underneath the ship and poked their heads out to breathe in the fresh air with their mouths open.
The cruise ship was completely surrounded by sardines.
The first to arrive were not dolphins, but sharks and sailfish.
The guys were so fast, they went back and forth, and the schools of fish scattered and scurried around, and a large number of sardines jumped out of the water.
For a moment, the surface of the water was full of bubbles, as if it was boiling.
Seabirds and gulls are not far behind, either skimming the surface of the water to catch the sardines jumping, or diving into the water like arrows at high speeds, catching the fish and then taking to the air.
The sardines that ran to the periphery fell into the circle of dolphins, which formed an arc and drove the fish under the hull of the boat, and then unhurriedly preyed on the sardines that tried to escape.
The tourists were so excited that when their hands were sore, they would change to another person, and a few nets were busy, the fishing rods did not stop, and the sardines piled up on the deck more and more.
"Whoa!"
A humpback whale suddenly emerged from the water, its huge mouth was like a black hole, and it swallowed a large number of sardines in an instant.
Immediately after that, several large mouths emerged from the water.
They are the latest to arrive, but they are also the most festive, eating hundreds of kilograms of sardines in one bite.
The scene was so spectacular that many people picked up their mobile phones to take pictures of this rare scene.
In less than an hour, a huge school of sardines was gone, whales were submerged into the deep sea with jets of water, and seabirds flew over the flagpole into the distant sky.
As of two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone caught nearly 700 kilograms, and Chen Yaodong won the first place in the first fishing competition with an absolute advantage.
Chen Yaodong also fulfilled his promise, dismembered the tuna in public to make sushi, the fatty and crispy fish fillets were dipped in his special mustard hot sauce, and a glass of fine red wine did not feel too good.
In the cheers, everyone raised their glasses and drank freely.
Yu Chengwan's three trainees also performed singing and dancing in public, these three are just eighteen-year-old little girls, not only long water, dancing but also dancing specially, won the applause of everyone again and again.
Having your fill of wine and food, reclining on a beach chair, listening to music, and feeling the sea breeze on your face, that familiar atmosphere seems to have returned.
In the room of the crew cabin, Guo Mingming sat on the ground in a daze, now that he was locked in the room and couldn't go anywhere, he was anxious when he thought of Wu Qingyun's death, even if he went ashore, he would probably be arrested.
What made him most anxious was that he offended Li Chaoyang too, the sake and sushi were indeed prepared by him for Li Chaoyang, but he never thought of harming Li Chaoyang.
It's just that no amount of explanation is available now.
What's more, he doesn't have that chance, and without Li Chaoyang, he really doesn't know who can save him.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Li Chaoyang walked in with a plate of fried fish sticks.
"Come, the tuna we just caught today tastes pretty good." Li Chaoyang put the fish steak on the table, and he smiled as if he was fine.
Guo Mingming was a little surprised, he thought that the first person to come to see him would be Guo Yu, but he didn't expect it to be Li Chaoyang.
"Don't be stunned, eat it quickly, I didn't poison it."
Li Chaoyang put down his things and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." Guo Mingming stopped Li Chaoyang, hesitated, he took off his shoes and took out a plastic bag, "I found it from the gap in the bridge, and now I will give it to you." ”
"What's that?" Li Chaoyang asked.
"Captain's logbook, but here's some fragments."
Li Chaoyang was shocked, Guo Mingming's hand really has something, the captain's log is generally written by the captain, including the time and place of docking, the number of loaded goods, daily affairs, etc., it and the chief engineer's log, the crew log and become the three major record documents, which are an important part of the ship's data, and will even be used as an important basis for accident investigation.
This thing is usually kept close to the captain of the ship.
Li Chaoyang hurriedly opened the log, and was dumbfounded.
It's just a few blank sheets of paper.
He thought he was wrong.
"Didn't write anything?" Li Chaoyang asked.
"That's right, nothing was written, that's the problem, you look at the pages below, they are 3, 4, 5, that is, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, although the captain's log does not require it to be written every day, but we were in Haiphong on the third day of our departure, and in Manila on the fourth day, how could such an important thing not be recorded? And why did he tear up the logs? ”
"What do you want to say?"
"I'd say the journals were never used, and when I found them, they were crumpled up, tearing up things that shouldn't be torn, and indirectly shouting pretty. , You may not know this thing, the log is not allowed to be torn up, I don't think the captain of a cruise ship will be so amateurish that he doesn't even know this, let alone take it to take a bag of melon seed shells. ”
This is indeed very weird, I am afraid that this matter can only be consulted by Zhou Shucheng to have results.
"Okay, I know, you rest first, I'll ask Lao Zhou, pay attention to the confidentiality of this matter." Li Chaoyang put away the log.
"No problem, can you help me with my affairs? I really didn't kill anyone, and I didn't want to kill you, can you believe me once? Guo Guangming looked at Li Chaoyang with a pleading expression.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
