Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Chapter 1305 1 Searching Again and Again

Liu Meilan was also dumbfounded, and quickly came over with Sister Chen to check.

Upon seeing this, Liu Meilan almost vomited.

The body was swollen from being submerged in water, and stones were tied to its body.

However, Liu Meilan quickly came to her senses and asked, "Is the camera on?"

Sister Zhang replied, "It's open, and they've filmed everything."

Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay, I'll go call the police now. Don't move, and don't fish anymore."

The fishing boat stopped, and then Liu Meilan went to call the police.

Although satellite phones are more expensive, they are faster.

Liu Meilan called the coast guard directly, "Hello, comrade, we caught a body in our fishing net. The body was tied with stones; it appears to be murder. Our coordinates are..."

Everyone kept their distance, not daring to approach.

Liu Meilan reassured everyone, "Don't be afraid, we've already called the police! Captain Xu, record our sailing route from casting the net to hauling it in; we need to give it to the police officers later."

Sister Chen suggested, "Meilan, why don't we wait until the police arrive before we do this? That way, people won't think we're tampering with the data, since it involves a life. Even though we didn't do it, we still have an obligation to cooperate with the investigation."

Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay, then let's protect the navigation and video first."

Since it involves human lives, the coast guard contacted the city's criminal investigation team, especially since this place is only about 30 nautical miles from the shore, which is very close.

As soon as Qin Ming saw that it was Liu Meilan's fishing boat, he immediately called her.

Liu Meilan answered the phone, "Qin Ming, why are you calling me? Do you know something?"

Qin Ming nodded, "Understood, we're on our way there. Don't move anything, we should be there in about an hour and a half at most."

"Okay, sure!" Liu Meilan replied and hung up the phone. "Everyone, go and rest, or go to the kitchen for a drink to calm your nerves."

It was cold outside, and nobody wanted to stare at a dead body.

Aunt Liu made a hot brown sugar ginger tea, which was warm and sweet, and also had some osmanthus flowers in it, making it very fragrant.

At 9 p.m., a coast guard vessel approached, identified the vessel, and then boarded the large fishing boat via a ladder.

At this moment, Qin Ming came up with his staff, including a forensic doctor and a forensic examiner.

"Meilan, thank you for your hard work." Qin Ming said politely, "Leave the rest to us."

Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes, after we pulled it out, I had people stop and not go any closer. The evidence in the driver's cab and the video evidence are still there."

"Okay!" Qin Ming responded. The forensic doctor went to the deck, to the pool of seafood and the corpse, while the forensic investigator went to the wheelhouse to copy the video and navigation track.

After forensic examination, "The patient was male, around 35 years old, with significant edema. Based on factors such as weather temperature and seawater, the time of death was estimated to be two to three days ago. His physical characteristics confirm he is Asian. His suit and socks are different from those worn here… Further analysis is needed…"

After the forensic team copied the data, they also came to collect evidence.

They sorted through the seafood on the deck, putting it into baskets.

After working for more than three hours, it was finally cleaned up around midnight.

Qin Ming said in a deep voice, "Meilan, visibility is limited at night. I would like to ask you not to put these things on the deck into storage yet. We will check them again tomorrow."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan was both amused and exasperated. "How could I possibly put those seafood and corpses in the warehouse? I'm just waiting for you to sort them out and dump them all into the sea. I wouldn't dare sell them to customers; wouldn't that be cheating them?"

Qin Ming was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "There's a lot of seafood there, probably worth over a hundred thousand."

Liu Meilan waved her hand, "I don't want even tens of thousands! Throwing it into the sea to feed the fish wouldn't be a waste."

"You're such a good boss," Qin Ming said with a smile. "Then I'll leave it to you. We'll check it again tomorrow."

Liu Meilan agreed, "Okay, we'll wait here tonight. Your forensic personnel shouldn't leave either; we'll check again when it's fully light."

"Okay!" Qin Ming replied.

And so, the body was placed in a special body bag, and Qin Ming and the forensic doctor took it away.

With no bodies found, everyone relaxed and went back to rest. Only two people remained to keep watch.

The next morning, as dawn broke, the two forensic officers once again emptied the seafood and searched carefully. And surprisingly, it worked; they found something that looked like a button on one of the crab's claws.

The two staff members looked at each other and said, "This is very likely a button recording device. Let's continue the inspection."

So the seafood on the deck was turned around and inspected again. Upon learning that the seafood was going to be thrown into the sea, the staff applied to Liu Meilan for permission.

"Mr. Liu, could you please cut these seafood pieces open? We're worried that the fish might swallow something," the staff member requested.

Liu Meilan glanced at the time on her wrist. "Okay! But throw it away after the check. We don't have that much time."

"Okay!" The staff member breathed a sigh of relief.

The boatmen were assigned by Liu Meilan to help, checking bit by bit. Fortunately, there wasn't much, and after three hours, the inspection was finally complete. After confirming several times that there was nothing left, the seafood was thrown back into the sea.

The forensic staff followed Liu Meilan's fishing boat ashore and thanked her repeatedly before leaving.

"After you disembark, please don't spread rumors to avoid affecting our seafood business," Liu Meilan instructed. "There are quite a few things to do this time, so I will consider it carefully. If the pay isn't as high as the last time we went out to sea, I will compensate for the difference."

Everyone was overjoyed to hear this; their boss was still so generous.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Liu." Xu Kaifa expressed his gratitude on behalf of the others.

At this moment, Qin Ming called, "Meilan, I'm at your company. Come back with me later to give a statement."

Liu Meilan agreed, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Liu Meilan knew it would be troublesome, but this was something she couldn't avoid doing.

When they arrived at the company, Qin Ming was drinking tea. Tang Xiaoyu was also there, her eyes full of gossip, eager to find out more. However, Qin Ming was tight-lipped and wouldn't tell Tang Xiaoyu anything.

"Meilan, what exactly happened? Qin Ming has come several times, but he won't tell me anything when I ask him!"

Liu Meilan looked at Qin Ming, "Can't I say?"

Qin Ming nodded, "We investigated overnight and confirmed the deceased's identity as a Chinese citizen. There's more to it than meets the eye! We can't disclose anything until the matter is fully investigated!"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Alright, Xiaoyu, don't ask any more questions! I'll call Captain Xu right now and tell him to tell everyone not to talk about it outside!"

Seeing that Liu Meilan had said that, Tang Xiaoyu knew the gravity of the situation and didn't press the matter further.

Liu Meilan specifically called Xu Kaifa to emphasize that he should not speak carelessly before the case is thoroughly investigated. If their careless remarks cause trouble, they will be fired immediately!
