More Than Good?
"Ah … You're hungry, aren't you … …" Lin Yi said with a smile- shark fin wasn't a poor person. Who'd have the stomach to eat meat when faced with delicacies every day? Yushu, on the other hand, only thought that it was delicious because she was starving. Shark meat wasn't as tender as the carp and crucian carp on the dining table, after all.
A lot of fishermen would just cut off the fins after catching a shark and throw it back into the sea. It was a little cruel, but it also proved that shark meat wasn't good to eat.
Many of the cheapest fish balls on the market were made from shark meat because of the low cost.
But Lin Yi wasn't in the mood to eat shark fins- he'd rather have some meat instead.
Yushu was a smaller eater, and as delicious as the shark meat was, she couldn't eat anymore after two pieces. She sat on the side, clutching her stomach. "I'm so full, but it's so good! Shield Bro, let's take the rest of the shark meat home, let Yao Yao have a taste!"
Yushu didn't forget about Mengyao at all, not forgetting about the good stuff. It was obvious that the two were close, despite their constant bickering.
"We'll have to get in touch with Faubert first." Lin Yi said as he took out his phone's battery and put it on the sand.
When the water on the phone's motherboard evaporated, before it was corroded by the rust, the phone could be used for a short period of time. Once the motherboard was completely corroded by the rust, the phone would be finished.
This was something a friend of Lin Yi's told him a long time ago, and Lin Yi decided to give it a try.
Someone had gotten into an accident at the theme park's bungee jumping valley- it wasn't a serious case, and it wasn't under the jurisdiction of the criminal police. But Yushu was involved, and even the director had given the order. Lingshan had no choice but to come to the theme park herself to investigate the incident.
She called the marine police for backup as she searched for witnesses, searching the waters nearby.
To be honest, even a swimmer wouldn't have much of a chance of survival if they fell in with ropes tied around their waist and feet. How were they supposed to swim when their entire body was tied up?
Lingshan paused when she heard that Lin Yi was there as well- that man was there too? Lingshan didn't have a very good impression of him, but the man did help her out twice, once with the bank robbers, and once with Heibao.
Both times were huge contributions, and since Lin Yi didn't want them, the credit naturally went to Lingshan. It gave Lingshan an indescribably weird feeling towards Lin Yi.
She wasn't really grateful, but she didn't want anything to happen to Lin Yi.
"Captain Song! The coast police replied that there's no one within a kilometer radius. Should we expand the search area, or … … "The one speaking was the captain of the first squad, Liu Wangli. Lingshan was the one who'd brought them here today.
"I'll ask for instructions … …" Lingshan sighed. If there weren't two people within a kilometer radius, then either they'd been washed away or they'd sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Expanding the search area probably wouldn't help anymore- it'd be pointless if they kept searching.
Director Chen's phone was busy, and it seemed like he was under a lot of pressure as well. The person who'd fallen in was Yushu! House Chen's precious granddaughter … One could only imagine the consequences if she were to die like this …
Lingshan dialed Huaijun's number. Huaijun had been promoted to the vice director position, and was in charge of the criminal and economic teams. Other than Director Chen, Huaijun was Lingshan's direct superior.
"What's wrong, Song? What's up? I'm having a meeting in the province. "Huaijun said after getting the call.
"Hm? You're not at the police station? " Lingshan blinked, not expecting Huaijun to be absent today. "You still don't know about the theme park?"
"What happened at the theme park?" Huaijun really didn't know what happened at the theme park. His phone was turned off during the meeting, and now that he was taking a break from the meeting, he turned it on to see if there were any urgent messages from his subordinates. Lingshan called him not long after.
"Yushu and your friend Lin Yi were bungee jumping when the rope snapped, and the two fell into the sea …" Lingshan reported. "I've contacted the marine police to help search a kilometer out, but they didn't find the two. The marine police asked if we should expand the search area, or … But I personally think that the two were tied together and fell into the sea … Even if they know how to swim, they're probably dead … "
"The odds are against him?" Huaijun repeated the four words oddly, not knowing what to say. He found it hilarious and didn't know what to say.
Huaijun's heart skipped a beat when he heard Yushu's name- it wouldn't be a small matter if something happened to Yutian's sister! But when he heard that Yushu fell into the sea with Lin Yi, he calmed down. Even he wouldn't die in a situation like this, much less Lin Yi! With Lin Yi there, Yushu would be safe for sure. Lingshan, on the other hand, was thinking too much.
"Yes, if we can't find them within a kilometer, then they're either washed away by the waves, or they've sunk to the bottom of the sea!" Lingshan said. "No matter which one it is, there's no hope of survival."
"Song, you can call the marine police back." Huaijun said.
"Oh? You're saying that we're giving up on the search? " Lingshan was thinking the same thing, but this was related to Yushu, and it was quite a headache for her!
She didn't have a good impression of Yushu's brother, but work and life were two different things.
"Give up? Who said we're giving up? "Huaijun smiled.
"But Captain Yang, didn't you tell the marine police to call them back?" Lingshan blinked.
"Calling them back doesn't mean we're giving up on the search!" Huaijun said. "I didn't tell you to call them back!"
"But we …" Lingshan didn't understand. "How are we supposed to search if the marine police can't find them?"
"Who told you to search in the sea? Get your people to look for a speedboat and search along the coastline. Maybe you'll find them. "Huaijun said as he pointed out a shortcut.
