Pet King-Chapter 1743
Translator: 549690339
On vacation, Sheng ke drove his own private car. The weather was good, and the windows and sunroof were open. The cool breeze also carried the sound of Sheng ke’s phone outside the car.
Zhang Zian didn’t mean to eavesdrop on the phone call, and it was probably about official business. But because he was so close, and Sheng ke’s voice was also high, he heard it passively.
Sheng ke’s men reported to him a new case.
Normally, Binhai city was a medium-sized city, and there were countless big and small reports every day. If he were to report every one of them to Sheng ke, he wouldn’t even have 48 hours a day. So, the reports to him must be special cases, such as major criminal cases, difficult cases that his subordinates had no clue about, or cases that he had specially requested.
For the police, the most infuriating thing was the case where the suspect had already been locked in, but the suspect had escaped first. It would make them feel aggrieved and let down the victim.
Sheng ke’s men found that the new report had some similarities with a previous case model. In addition to some other doubts, his men judged that this may be a case involving a wanted suspect, so they called him.
Sheng ke glanced at Zhang Zian through the rearview mirror and said in a deep voice,””Don’t act rashly. Wait for me to go back and make arrangements. No matter what, we can’t let him escape again. ”
As soon as he said that, his wife and child’s faces immediately turned dark.
“Must you go? You’ve been out all day, and the children can’t recognize you anymore!” His wife had long been used to her husband’s last-minute overtime. If it were any other day, she would not have any complaints because it was useless to complain. However, today was the day that they had agreed to go out and play together.
The child was on the verge of tears as he secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.
Sheng ke knew that he owed his wife and children too much, but …
“I’m sorry, another day. I’ll definitely make it up to you guys another day. Today’s matter is more important, so I have to be there.” He tried his best to explain.
“Compensation! Compensation! How many times have you said it? when have you ever compensated me? Everything is important, but only US two aren’t important, right?” She complained. Although her words were somewhat unreasonable, she couldn’t be blamed for this. Who asked her to hold in her resentment for too long?
Sheng ke was anxious and really didn’t have the mood to quarrel with his wife. Besides, he was indeed in the wrong, so there was nothing to argue about.
“I’ll send you back first. If I finish early, I might have time tomorrow …”He said.
“If you want to go, go by yourself. We’re not going back!”
His wife’s temper was also rising, and she pulled the child out of the car in a fit of pique.
It was hard to have a good family and a good career. Sheng ke was in a dilemma. He couldn’t help sighing, but he had to leave. The difficulty was how to calm his wife down.
Zhang Zian came over to smooth things over.”Captain Sheng, why don’t you ask your sister-in-law and niece to come to my shop? we can watch the fish, play with the cats, and play with the dogs. You can go and do your own things.”
“Yes, yes, yes! You can go to the Pet Shop and the aquarium. It’s much more fun than the amusement park. You’ll know when you see so many people in the shop. ” Sheng ke chimed in.
His wife was quite virtuous. This time, she had lost her temper because she was really angry. She knew her husband’s character well. Even if she made a fuss, it would be useless. Besides, it was embarrassing to quarrel on the street. It might even affect her husband’s career if it was photographed by some busybodies.
With Zhang Zian as the peacemaker, she could only reluctantly go with the flow. What else could she do?
Seeing his wife and children enter the aquarium angrily, Sheng ke felt relieved. He said to Zhang Zian,””Thanks, brother. I have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”
He didn’t have time to say anything more and immediately drove away.
After Sheng ke left, Zhang Zian heard the leaves rustling above his head. He looked up and saw that old time tea had quietly sneaked up the tree.
Zhang Zian could hear Sheng ke on the phone, but he couldn’t hear what he was saying. Old time tea, however, could.
“Grandpa tea?”
He noticed that old time tea was squinting its eyes and looking in a certain direction.
“The person on the phone said that The Phantom beauty salon was blackmailed by a large sum of money, and last night, a group of unidentified people smashed it. Fortunately, the boss wasn’t there last night, or else … Later, the boss called the police, saying that he was jealous of his peers.” Old time tea said.
This mode …
He and old time tea looked at each other and thought of the same person at the same time.
“It seems that Qing Ren is back.” Old time tea sneered,”he probably thought that the matter was over, so he returned to Binhai city to commit crimes.” He managed to escape last time, but since he’s back now, Binhai city will be his last stop before he goes to prison. ”
Sheng ke must have thought of this too, so he left in a hurry and personally arranged the arrest of Qing Ren.
“I have nothing to do. It’s a good time to stretch my muscles and give you a hand.” Old time tea said decisively.
The police had already been mobilized, and it was not convenient for Zhang Zian to show up. With his skills, he might alert the enemy. He knew that old time tea had made up its mind, so he said,””Grandpa tea, please be careful.”
“It’s no big deal, just a thief, this old man will be back soon. ” Old time tea smiled. Under the cover of the trees, it jumped between the treetops on the sidewalk and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The pedestrians under the trees heard the sound of leaves above them, but they didn’t see anything.
Zhang Zian knew old time tea’s skills, but he didn’t know its strength. After all, old time tea always kept a low profile, and its strength was unfathomable, so he was not worried.
Besides, this operation was carried out by the police. Old time tea was just hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to take action to restrain the cunning Qing Ren, so there would be no danger. No matter how powerful Qing Ren was, he was just a weaker version of Peter Lee. Compared to Peter Lee, he was just a small player.
“AI! How do you guys drive? Do you have eyes?”
At this moment, the sound of a car braking was heard on the street, followed by a series of curses.
Zhang Zian turned his head and saw a municipal engineering vehicle that had stopped on the road with an emergency brake. Next to the vehicle, a woman riding an electric bicycle was shouting and cursing.
It turned out that as the engineering vehicle was driving forward, the container was constantly flowing with sewage. It seemed that the sewage had splashed on the woman’s clothes, so she stopped the engineering vehicle and demanded that the engineering vehicle pay for it.
It was none of Zhang Zian’s business. To be honest, if it was a more expensive or favorite piece of clothing, it would be very angry to be splashed by the sewage. However, he noticed that the person who jumped out of the engineering vehicle looked a little familiar.
The man apologized to the woman in a low voice.
Zhang Zian stared at the man’s side profile and thought for a while. He finally remembered where he had seen him before. It was the time when he and the Huang father and son were rescuing the stranded minke whale on the beach. They had called the fishery administration staff, and later, he had seen him again next to the dead gray whale that had almost exploded.
What was his name again …
Zhang Zian looked through his phone’s contact list and found his name, ke shaohui.
Ke shaohui was pestered by the woman and insisted that he pay. He really had no choice. After bargaining, he paid her 100 yuan and asked her to dry-clean her clothes. Only then did she give up resentfully.
He sighed at his bad luck. The salary of the fishery administration was low to begin with, and now he had lost 100 yuan for no reason. What could he do with this 100 yuan? Even if he treated the brothers from the administration of fishery to beer, it would be better than throwing them away. He could only blame his poor driving skills and carelessness. It was much more relaxing to drive a boat on the sea. He could drive it however he wanted.
“Master ke, are you alright?”
Just as he was about to get into the car, he heard someone call him from behind. Because his last name was not very common, people usually did not call him by the wrong name.
Looking back, he also recognized Zhang Zian. After all, he had met him twice, but he couldn’t remember his name.
“I’m Zhang Zian, the one who runs a pet shop.” Zhang Zian smiled and pointed at the sign of the Pet Shop.
“Oh! Yes, yes! I remember now!” Ke shaohui smacked his forehead in realization.”Look at my memory … Sigh! I’m sorry to let you see this …”
He knew that Zhang Zian must have witnessed the scene just now, and his face was a little hot.
Zhang Zian looked at the water dripping out from the gap of the car. The water was green and had a strong fishy smell. No wonder the woman was so persistent. The smell was on the clothes and not easy to wash off.
“Master ke, the water is flowing out …” He said.
Ke shaohui sighed.”I have no choice. This car was borrowed temporarily. There are no suitable cars, so I can only make do with it.”
Zhang Zian sniffed it. “Master ke, what kind of water is this?” It smells like seawater …”
“It’s hai Shui. ” Ke shaohui nodded.
He had dealt with Zhang Zian twice, and in those two incidents, he felt that Zhang Zian was very knowledgeable and knew more things than ordinary people, especially some strange and unpopular knowledge.
“Come, take a look.”
He waved at Zhang Zian, then stepped on the back tire of the engineering vehicle and climbed to the edge of the container.
Zhang Zian had come over to chat with him out of curiosity, so he followed his example and stepped on the tire to look into the car.
“It’s really delicious …”
The top of the trunk had a fishy smell. To his surprise, the inside of the trunk was filled with green algae.
The seaweed was wet, obviously just fished out of the sea. The fine and dense seaweed leaves were especially good at storing water, no wonder it was dripping water all the way.
The problem was, why did they use the municipal engineering vehicles to pull the seaweed? Did this thing have any economic value?
Also, where did the seaweed come from? Were there so many algae near Binhai city?
Zhang Zian had many questions in his mind, but he didn’t know if it was convenient to ask.
Ke shaohui began to talk about it himself.
It turned out that the typhoon was formed in the distant South China Sea, and then it went all the way north with great momentum. Not only did it sweep up a large amount of water vapor, but it also swept up a large amount of seaweed from the southern sea.
After the typhoon landed in Binhai city, its energy slowly dissipated, and it entered a Sage Mode. The seaweed that was swept by the typhoon remained in the open sea of Binhai city.
The days after the typhoon had been calm. The wind and ocean currents did not exert any force, so a large amount of seaweed had stayed in the open sea and gathered there. The specific location was in the sea near Binhai city.
The seaweed was like dense vines that were intertwined, occupying a large area of the sea. From a distance, it looked like a dark green carpet.
What was troublesome was that once a fishing boat of ordinary tonnage or a fishery administration ship entered the seaweed area, the propeller would soon be entangled, and the boat would be trapped inside.
The fishing rest period was about to end, and the fishermen had to go out to sea to fish. Otherwise, what would they eat?
The seaweed had blocked the fishing port, and the fishing boats couldn’t get in or out, which made the fishery administration anxious and had to do this. It was a temporary measure to fish the seaweed up and then transport them away in batches. The fishery administration and fishermen were not stupid enough to think that they could fight against nature with their meager manpower. It was impossible to clear all the seaweed in this way, but at least they could open a passage for fishing boats to enter and leave the port.
The only thing that could completely remove the algae was the strong monsoon, but who knew when the monsoon would start? With global warming, solar terms were becoming more and more unreliable.
The arrival of the typhoon made people feel helpless, but it was not a good thing to have no wind.
Binhai city’s fishery administration was unlucky. They had just finished their disaster relief work for the typhoon, and before they could take a break, they had to fight the seaweed again. Everyone was exhausted.
It was the same for ke shaohui. He had been a little tired from driving just now and had only been distracted for a little while. The dirty water flowing in the car had splashed on the passers-by, and he could only blame himself. At this time, he took the opportunity to complain to Zhang Zian to clear his mind a little.
They had to transport the seaweed to a designated place far away from the city, dry it, and then burn it.
Zhang Zian understood the whole story and sympathized with the staff of the fishery administration, but he couldn’t help. He was neither the wind god nor the Dragon King. What could he do with the seaweed?
When large amounts of seaweed gathered together, they would multiply explosively under suitable conditions. The scale was beyond imagination. When Columbus was searching for a new world, the fleet was trapped by seaweed for a month.
Of course, the seaweed in the sea near Binhai city wasn’t that scary, but it still caused a lot of difficulties for people’s daily lives and production.
Another thing that caught Zhang Zian’s attention was that ke shaohui had just mentioned that the seaweed was currently gathered in the sea area south of Binhai city. No wonder he had not seen any seaweed when he went out to sea to play Sihwa’s songs.
The place that welder Zhao and electrician Wu went to just now seemed to be the tidal flat in the South of Binhai city.
Ke shaohui’s words came to an end, and Zhang Zian had no more questions. He was embarrassed to continue wasting other people’s time. Just as he was about to jump off the tire, he suddenly felt something moving in the seaweed.
Seaweed was not an isolated creature. When a large amount of seaweed gathered together, large ocean predators and fishing boats would stay away from them. It was a hotbed for many small ocean creatures. In the seaweed that floated from other places, you could often find ocean creatures that did not exist locally.
When the fishery administration staff fished for the seaweed, they inevitably also fished up some small creatures attached to the seaweed.
Zhang Zian looked at it carefully, took out a paper towel, and picked up a very small, translucent bug.
