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.
