Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Coincidence

These old men looked astonished, their eyeballs bulging like cow eggs as they watched Ye Chen.

Liao Xuexue let out a long sigh.

This Mr. Ye’s addiction to fishing... can no longer be described as merely intense.

It has already turned into an obsession!

In the eyes of outsiders, his ludicrous action of throwing the Hand Grenade far away was only out of concern that the police might come and scare away the fish, affecting his fishing?

At the same time, some new viewers in the live stream room were also surprised beyond belief, expressing that they had opened their eyes to something new.

And the minor haters were starting to feel smug.

After all, Ye Chen’s various actions seemed to confirm the previous words said by "East Sea’s King of Fishing".

The pistol and Hand Grenade must be fake, otherwise, why wouldn’t Ye Chen be afraid?

Next, Ye Chen didn’t just stand there stunned.

He turned around, took out a new fishing rod, began baiting the hook, and prepared to start fishing.

The reason for this was that he wanted to try out his new ability.

And those other anglers, naturally, were not as carefree as Ye Chen.

At this point, who else would fish so nonchalantly like Ye Chen?

Just as Ye Chen was playing with the bait and preparing to cast his line.

Sirens sounded above the Seyves Reservoir.

Ye Chen twitched the corner of his eye and looked up toward the road above the reservoir.

Had the police arrived so quickly?

After the police car stopped on the road above, a square-faced middle-aged man with an aura of integrity emerged from the vehicle.

This person was an acquaintance of Ye Chen.

He was the leader of Jiang City Police Station who led the team to handle the bodies last night, Zhou Tao!

In the past few days, Zhou Tao even began to doubt whether he had offended the water deities.

Because all of the recent cases he encountered were related to water.

And they were all absurd cases...

Last night, they received a report that someone fishing in Jiang City River had caught a corpse.

Then, there was a call about a giant Water Python found in a community.

This Water Python, especially that morning, attacked a household’s pet dog in the community, leaving everyone in the entire neighborhood anxious and on edge.

They deployed various boats and professional fishing personnel to corner the Water Python.

But after spending the whole morning, they didn’t catch the python, nor did they even see its shadow.

As time passed, many netizens discussed this incident online.

If they didn’t resolve it promptly, it’s likely that there would be comments about a certain department’s inaction.

But these netizens didn’t know that after attacking the pet dog, the Water Python had burrowed into the artificial lake and vanished completely...

The Golden Treasure residential area, initially marketed as a premium neighborhood in Jiang City, boasted greenery and scenery as its main attractions.

The artificial lake within the community was comparable in size to a large natural lake.

Neither the size nor the depth of this artificial lake could be matched by any ordinary artificial lake.

This also made the task of capturing the Water Python exceedingly difficult.

Someone had proposed draining the water from the artificial lake, but not to mention the magnitude of the work, the developers of Golden Treasure had initially released many valuable fish into the artificial lake during its construction.

Moreover, this wasn’t just a matter of money.

Draining the artificial lake would not only waste time but also directly damage the lake’s ecosystem.

Thus, draining the water would affect not just finances, but also the ecology and other related issues.

This was also the main reason why the property manager of the community disagreed with draining the water.

Besides, relevant scholars had also drawn their conclusions.

Based on surveillance footage, they could confirm that this Water Python was one of the largest known snake species.

With a maximum body length exceeding ten meters, it inhabits rivers and streams and can stay submerged for extended periods.

Its primary diet consists of mammals, reptiles, as well as birds.

Some adult water pythons even can single-handedly take on crocodiles, facing no natural predators.

What’s crucial is that this breed of water python can burrow into the mud.

Even if the water in the artificial lake is drained, it’s uncertain if the water python can be caught in a short time.

Thus, Zhou Tao could only pray that the professional fishing crews would have dumb luck and capture the python as soon as possible.

What made Zhou Tao helpless was that he hadn’t resolved the issue with the water python in Jinbao community,

when he received a call from the dispatcher.

Saying over at Seyves Reservoir side...

Someone fished up a gun and a hand grenade.

What made him anxious was that the safety pin of the grenade had been broken, as mentioned in the call.

As a cop, Zhou Tao was naturally very familiar with all kinds of firearms and ammunition.

Generally, hand grenades soaked in water for a long time would become duds.

But if the seal of the grenade was intact and it had not been submerged for too long, it could still explode.

Therefore, Zhou Tao couldn’t afford any delays.

Besides, they couldn’t be of much help over at Jinbao community anyway.

So he immediately contacted the bomb disposal squad and arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.

In less than a day’s time, three water-related cases occurred in his jurisdiction.

Moreover, two of the cases were related to fishing.

What’s with these fishermen suddenly going crazy?

It’s either fishing up a corpse or fishing up guns and grenades!

Back when he used to fish, he never encountered such preposterous events!

Thinking of this, Zhou Tao couldn’t help but get curious.

He wondered, just what kind of expert could fish up both a gun and a grenade, and even manage to break the safety pin of the grenade with the fish hook...

While internally complaining, the image of the youngster he met yesterday suddenly popped into Zhou Tao’s head - the one named Ye Chen.

This guy was all mystical, catching no fish in the evening but instead a dead body.

Probably, the one who fished up the gun and grenade was taught by the same master as Ye Chen.

While grumbling, Zhou Tao looked towards the bank of Seyves Reservoir.

Apart from the group of fishermen gathered on the shore, what was eye-catching was the neat row of bone ash boxes.

The bone ash boxes were of different colors, but printed uniformly with one character.

"Offer"!

Damn, what the heck?

Zhou Tao’s eye twitched violently. Why did this scene seem so familiar?

Right!

He remembered.

That guy named Ye Chen who fished up a corpse yesterday had a bone ash box at his feet last night.

Afterward, an outrageous idea gradually floated into his mind.

Could it be...

The gun and grenade were also fished up by that kid?

If that were true, then damn, this kid is just too outrageous!

After this idea surfaced in his mind, Zhou Tao walked towards the group of fishermen.

Then, he saw a bunch of old men waving at him.

Among these old men, there was one particularly familiar young man, who was now standing there with a bitter face.
