5:10 p.m. on the same day.

The seaside of Dongcheng District, Lianhai City, goes to the pier on Long Island.

Several members of the city's disease control and emergency response team parked the on-site flow shunting in the parking lot next to the pier and took a ferry to Long Island instead.

The sun was setting slantingly, and the sea was glowing reddish because of the red tide.

The ship was full of passengers.

Most of the passengers on the boat between Long Island and Dongcheng District were traders who went to Long Island to wholesale seafood, but now due to the red tide, the number of seafood business transactions has dropped significantly, and the number of vendors has decreased, but the number of young tourists has increased.

The six members of the disease control team were all dispatched this time, with the experience of investigating illegal traders on the spot, and everyone in the emergency team was wearing civilian clothes, their work cards were stuffed in their pockets, and the on-site sampling box was also disguised, looking like ordinary citizens who came to Long Island to buy seafood.

In the evening, the sea was stormy, the ferry was bumpy, the waves were surging, the sea water carried a strong smell of sea, and the splashing waves stuck to the body.

Lu Li sat next to Wang Xiaoxiao, and subconsciously used his body to block the splashed sea water to prevent the sea water from splashing on Wang Xiaoxiao's body.

Wang Xiaoxiao poked his head out of the boat.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you looking at? Don't stick your head out all the time, be careful of splashing your face with seawater, if you have allergies on your face, it will be disfigured. Lu Li kindly reminded.

"If you look at the color of the sea, it's much redder than what you saw on the beach in Crescent Bay last night, and there are more dead fish floating on the sea."

The belly-flapping dead fish was a miserable white, and it stood out in the red water.

"Red tide is a disaster, these fish are poisoned." Wang smiled and sighed.

Gu Yanan, who sat in the front row, corrected, "Most of these fish are suffocated, and the plankton in the sea increases dramatically during the red tide, blocking the gills of the fish and causing death due to lack of oxygen. ”

As far as the eye can see from the ferry, Nagashima is surrounded by many fishing grounds made of bamboo poles and driftwood.

"The fishing grounds near Long Island are also in the red tide range, and they are the most affected, and there are obviously fewer vendors who come to the Long Island Sea to wholesale seafood, don't you look like vendors? What to do on Long Island? A middle-aged male passenger in his 40s chatted with Gu Yanan on the ship.

Gu Yanan took the opportunity to understand the situation, "If you want to buy some seafood to send to your relatives, what are you doing on Long Island?" ”

"I run a restaurant and come to Long Island to buy goods. But girl, I advise you, the quality of seafood on Long Island is not as good as it was a few days ago, so you must keep your eyes open when you buy it, and you must buy it fresh. ”

"Oh, is there anything special about buying seafood?"

"It's a lot more exquisite, buy ginseng to see the size, buy fish to see fish eyes......"

Soon, the boat docked, and the middle-aged man hadn't finished his seafood scripture, seeing that he was about to get off the boat, he finally added quietly, "No matter what kind of seafood you buy, you must buy the one with shape, the kind that is stirred up and made into all kinds of paste balls, don't buy it, it's all made of dead fish, dead shrimp and rotten shells." ”

Before leaving, the middle-aged man showed a look of "there is a cat in it, everyone understands it".

The ship docked, and the passengers disembarked one after another.

Gu Yanan noticed that there were many dead fish on the beach around Long Island that had been slapped ashore by the waves, and there were piles of them, and someone was picking them up.

The dead fish were loaded onto trailers and truckloaded.

Gu Yanan knows that the relevant departments have regulations that dead fish like this one caused by red tide need to be treated harmlessly and generally do not flow into the market, but seeing that the people who collect the dead fish in front of him are like local fishermen, I don't know what the follow-up treatment of these dead fish will be.

If you go up and ask them directly, they will definitely not tell the truth, Gu Yanan decided to secretly track them down.

Gu Yanan assigned tasks to everyone in the emergency response team.

"Zhou Lao and Gao Fei pretended to be customers and went to the Long Island Mermaid Marine Products Processing Factory to buy fish balls, and tried to ask to see their production line and leave evidence.

Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao pretended to be tourists to find an opportunity to observe the surrounding environment of the factory, as long as it was related to the production and processing of seafood products, they left video evidence, and did not conflict with the people inside.

Xiao Chu followed me to track down the whereabouts of these dead fish.

Remember, our goal this time is to sample the problem fish balls, and we don't have enforcement powers, so don't get into a conflict with the people inside, understand? ”

"Understood."

The members of the group began to act in groups.

In addition to being a famous fishing ground in Lianhai City, Long Island is also a tourist attraction, especially the red tide caused by the fluorescent sea wonders, although the seafood trade is sluggish, but the business of tourists is booming.

Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao, dressed as a visiting couple, followed the crowd of tourists to the island, but instead of the coastal viewpoint where tourists go, they went straight to the problematic seafood processing plant on Long Island's west coast.

Zhou Lao and Gao Fei glanced at each other, smiled, and immediately entered the role.

"Boss Zhou, it's Qingming Festival, let's go buy some seafood?"

"Okay, let's go, keep it and buy all the seafood on this island."

Xiao Chu descended the stone steps next to the pier to the beach.

Every time he took two steps, Xiao Chu glanced back and watched Gu Yanan follow him, "Sister Yanan, the sand on this beach is very soft, you must be careful when you come down." ”

"Well, I wear sneakers every time I go out on the scene, it's okay."

The two walked along the beach to the place where the dead fish had accumulated, where two middle-aged men were loading the dead fish into a trailer with a shovel.

Outsiders approached, and two middle-aged men looked wary.

Xiao Chu immediately entered the role and greeted Gu Yanan affectionately, "Sister, you see a lot of dead fish here." ”

Like a curious tourist, Xiao Chu jumped up and down to the dead fish pile, pinched out a dead fish from it, and observed it carefully.

The eyes of the fish are cloudy, and the scales on the body of the fish also fall off a lot, and the gills of the fish are broken, and they are covered with various algae, which is slimy.

Gu Yanan also looked at it carefully, and then gave Xiao Chu a look.

Xiao Chu understood, took out a plastic bag from his pocket, and prepared to put the fish into the plastic bag.

"Hey! What do you do? The middle-aged man who collected the fish shouted.

"What? Can't this fish be taken away? Xiao Chu pretended to be surprised and asked.

"No, stay away from here."

"Isn't this a dead fish floating up in the sea? Does this dead fish still have a master? ”

"Of course there is the Lord, these are dead fish that have drifted ashore from the farms in the sea."

"Since it's a dead fish, it shouldn't be of much use, so it's okay if I take one with me, right?" Xiao Chu asked seductively.

"Dead fish are also useful, the fish here can't move! Hurry up, this is not a scenic spot, if you want to see the scenery, go around this beach and go to the east. The two middle-aged men were impatient and scolded loudly.

Xiao Chu deliberately threw away the dead fish in his hand, and said angrily, "If you don't take it, you won't take it, it's just a broken dead fish, who is rare?" It's not fun at all! Sister, let's go somewhere else. ”

Xiao Chu took Gu Yanan's arm and left the beach, but waited secretly at the corner of the path not far from the beach.

The trailer was loaded with dead fish and drove up the trail from the beach to the island.

Gu Yanan and Xiao Chu followed the trailer carrying the dead fish and discovered that the trailer was going to a problematic seafood processing plant on the west coast of Long Island.
