Chapter 13 Officer Arrives

But can people ever be truly satisfied?

They cannot...

Those who want to destroy you are your peers.

This guy saw Ye Chen's live stream suddenly become popular, and he became jealous.

That's why he started to lead the tempo against Ye Chen in the live stream room.

If he really hit the nail on the head, then Ye Chen might be banned from the entire network.

If wrong, there wouldn't be any loss for him.

Whether right or wrong, he could attract attention and ride on Ye Chen's popularity in the live stream room.

The words of East Sea's King of Fishing made the audience in the live stream room a bit skeptical.

Indeed.

The whole event today has been overly dramatic from start to finish.

In this day and age, no one is superstitious.

Like the rotten fish just now.

How could a rotten fish cause such a big reaction from Ye Chen's fishing rod?

Soon, the number of gifts being sent in the live stream room markedly decreased.

At the same time, some new viewers who entered the live stream room, influenced by East Sea's King of Fishing, also began doubting Ye Chen.

"I also feel something fishy. As a fishing streamer, how could he not catch any fish but managed to pull up rotten ones, even a dead body today? Isn't it too dramatic?"

"Some people really don't think. They get easily spun around by any scripted plot. Anyway, I won't be sending gifts to such a person!"

"Isn't East Sea's King of Fishing's fishing skills ten thousand times better than this guy? I think what East Sea's King of Fishing said makes sense."

"Yes, nowadays, people would stoop to any levels just for attention and popularity. It's really despicable!"

"No wonder this streamer told everyone not to call the police; it was all scripted. Maybe even characters like Old Liao are hired actors? What a bunch of clowns!"

…

Under the influence of East Sea's King of Fishing, many started to question Ye Chen, mostly the new viewers who just entered the live stream room.

As for Ye Chen's loyal fans, naturally they couldn't stand it.

"Aren't you all being a bit too harsh? Do you know how hard the streamer has worked for fishing?"

"Yes, although Teacher Ye's fishing skills might be a bit lacking, I can guarantee his character is impeccable, and he has never asked us viewers for any gifts!"

"So many people on the shore said it was a dead body, how can you say it's fake from behind a screen?"

"Teacher Ye's fishing is totally real for sure, you haters only know how to spout nonsense, just shut up!"

"Exactly, if you like to watch then watch, if not then get lost!"

…

Soon, the audience in the live stream room was divided into two groups, arguing non-stop.

The previous joy was completely gone.

But soon.

The viewers who were arguing in the live stream room stopped their bickering.

Because they heard the distant and faint sound of police sirens.

It seems... the police really came!

Indeed!

With the sound of sirens, several police cars stopped at the shore.

From the police cars, several officers in uniform, with serious expressions, stepped down.

At the shore, other fishermen aside from Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief seeing this scene.

Among the crowd, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a skinny monkey, giving Ye Chen a smirk.

"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry..."

"I just called the police since we came across this situation, it's better to let the cops handle it."

Hearing this, Ye Chen just curled his lips but didn't say anything.

Well, now that the cops are here, there goes our fishing.

However, with so many people watching, we can't just leave the body soaking at the shore forever, so it's better they came.

Soon, a middle-aged cop leading the group approached and straightforwardly asked the fishers.

"Hello, may I know which comrade reported this? Where's the dead body?"

The middle-aged cop stepping forward was named Zhou Tao, the branch captain of Jiang City Police Station.

After all, discovering a dead body is not a trivial matter.

Upon receiving the call, he immediately rushed over with his team.

After speaking, he started inspecting the scene based on his investigative experience.

Then, Zhou Tao's gaze fell on a young man by the riverbank.

Can't help it, this young man was just too eye-catching.

While everyone else gathered far from the shore, he foolishly stood still, dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe.

Also, there was a striking rosewood urn by his feet, hard not to notice!

He also had several fishing rods around him, and not far away, something caught out of the river which seemed like the personal belongings of the one who reported.

At this moment, an old man tremblingly ran over, pointing towards the young man in the Taoist robe and said.

"Mr. Officer, I... I called the police, the body is over there."

Branch captain Zhou Tao nodded, then gave a look to a colleague in charge of taking notes, continuing to ask the old man.

"Old man, don't be scared. Where is the body? Did you guys discover the body? When was it found?"

Seeing the old man somewhat nervous, Zhou Tao slowed down his speaking pace, while keeping a kind expression.

However, this time, the answer did not come from the old man but from several nearby fishermen.

"Mr. Officer, the body is still by the water."

"Yes, right by the shore, near where Mr. Ye is."

"The body was pulled up by Mr. Ye, and he told us not to call the police earlier, fearing you guys would scare away the fish."

...

The group of fishermen by the shore were talking one after another, and the officers quickly got everything clear.

After analyzing the situation, Zhou Tao couldn't help but wear a wry smile looking at his colleagues.

Geez!

The body was actually fished up!

And that Mr. Ye who fished up the body didn't even think of calling the police, instead worrying that they would scare the fish?

Zhou Tao smirked, then waved his hand while walking toward the body, meanwhile asking the surrounding fishermen.

"The Mr. Ye you mentioned? Who is he?"

With the officer present, the fishermen got quite bold.

While following the officer to the body, they answered Zhou Tao's questions.

"It's the young man by the shore wearing the Taoist robe."

"Mr. Officer, I can testify that Mr. Ye discovered the body, but he is definitely not the murderer!"

"Finding such a huge thing as a body, no matter how addicted to fishing a person is, one cannot just not call the police, right?"

"Yes, yes, you are right Mr. Officer, you should really give Mr. Ye a good scolding, but let's leave it at that..."

Hearing this, Zhou Tao gave a bitter smile. These fishermen, truly a bunch of characters.
