Chapter 467: Chapter 315: Unexpected Discovery in the Warehouse_3 Chapter 467: Chapter 315: Unexpected Discovery in the Warehouse_3 Yet Chu Mingcheng noticed something amiss–the texture was off.

The fish spear should have pierced through the sack of rice without hindrance.

But what the spear had just transmitted was a clear sensation of being blocked, as if it had struck something.

Without hurrying to investigate, he first dealt with the Black Backed Diao using his diving knife, then pulled out the spear.

After threading the rope through the gills, Chu Mingcheng moved the rice sack on top to reveal what was underneath.

Then, he saw the suitcase that had been concealed beneath.

A suitcase hidden among the rice sacks?

Chu Mingcheng immediately realized there was something complicated going on–could this be contraband?

He wasn’t sure how long the ship had been sunken, but judging by the two watches, it seemed to be from the eighties or nineties, and very likely it was a cargo ship headed for Treasure Island.

Back in those days, smuggling was common and easy–not like now, with surveillance everywhere and strict inspections.

Chu Mingcheng moved aside the rice sacks and lifted the suitcase that had been soaking for who knows how long.

He tried to open the suitcase, but the combination lock was jammed, and he had to force it open.

But with only a fish spear and a diving knife on hand, Chu Mingcheng had to carry the suitcase first to the staircase, planning to take it back to the Sea God later.

However, the discovery of a suitcase in the pile of rice was a wake-up call for him.

Given the size of the cargo ship and the numerous stacks of rice, surely there must be more than one piece of smuggled goods.

Thus, Chu Mingcheng immediately transformed into a porter, moving every stack of rice to search for contraband, startling the fish in the cargo hold into a frenzy.

The smuggled goods certainly hadn’t been taken away by the rescue ships at the time, so he reaped the benefits all to himself.

The cargo hold was too large, and searching and moving the sacks of rice was very time-consuming.

It wasn’t until past five in the morning that he had looked through all the piles in the cargo hold.

However, the results were not what he hoped–only five wooden crates and three suitcases were found.

The five wooden crates were found next to one another in a stack of rice, leading Chu Mingcheng to suspect that they belonged to the same person.

Compared to the suitcases, the crates seemed easier to open.

He couldn’t carry all these items back easily, and if the contents of the wooden crates were ruined by sea water, it would save him the trouble.

This wooden crate wasn’t locked; it was completely sealed. Chu Mingcheng picked up the fish spear and jabbed an opening at the edge of the crate.

Though the crate was made of solid wood planks, after being submerged for so long, it had softened considerably.

Chu Mingcheng quickly pried open a hole with the spear and then discovered that underneath the wood plank was actually sponge.

The use of sponge for protection made his heart skip a beat, and it suddenly began to pound–could the contents be porcelain?

Normally, sponge is used for shock absorption to protect fragile items.

Apart from porcelain, Chu Mingcheng couldn’t think of anything else worth smuggling at the moment.

Striking it rich indeed, he was suddenly full of motivation and began to dismantle the crate, taking only a short while to remove an entire side.

Then he carefully lifted the sponge to reveal the items wrapped in wax paper underneath that resembled wine bottles.

Seeing the shape of these items, Chu Mingcheng immediately had a bad feeling–could these be wrapped in wax paper just to be bottles of wine?

How expensive could wine be, regardless of its value?

But he didn’t mess around with it any further; whether it was wine or something else, obviously, they didn’t want it to come into contact with water.

In this case, he had to make several trips to carry all these items back.

(Last night, my mom said she had a headache, and when we measured her blood pressure, it was at 194, which scared me enough to rush her to the hospital. This chapter isn’t long enough, so I’m continuing to write now and will make up for it tonight. For those who can’t wait, see you tomorrow!)
