Chapter 21: Another Reward: Golden Treasure Box!

Under Lin Wendong's command, a group of subordinates sprang into action.

They quickly surrounded several suspicious locations.

Then they searched each place one by one.

Indeed.

With such commotion, the murderer became extremely frightened and wanted to flee.

But by then, it was too late, as the police on the perimeter had already arrested him.

They caught the murderer and collected his DNA…

With undeniable evidence, there was no way for him to escape or deny his crimes, so he finally confessed.

He did indeed have feelings for Zhang Cuilan.

His personality was rather reclusive and strange, and he had always quietly watched her from the shadows.

Until one day, he saw Zhang Cuilan looking very attractive as if something joyful had occurred, which triggered a sense of crisis in him.

He quietly followed her... and then traced her all the way, only to discover Zhang Cuilan meeting with a man.

This instantly fueled his rage.

Especially watching the two hug and the man's hands moving around her… the sight from his hidden position made his blood boil and his eyes turn red.

A rush of blood to the head, and as they were about to engage in intimate actions, he ambushed them from behind.

He bludgeoned the man to death with a hammer first.

Then, under the frightened gaze of the woman, he brutally assaulted her and then killed her as well…

He confessed the entire process of the crime.

Thus, the case was solved.

On Lin Wendong's side, they cleared Fang Hao of suspicion, and he also felt a trace of regret.

They certainly owe a lot to Fang Hao this time, yet they had doubted him.

However, if it happened again, he would still harbor doubts.

This was his professional integrity.

But he was also grateful for Fang Hao's help.

"Finally, the case is solved," Chen Lin felt very happy.

"This guy unexpectedly helped us so much."

Her lips slightly curved upward, but then thinking that they probably wouldn't meet again after the case ended,

suddenly felt a bit empty inside.

She didn't know why.

The smile that had lifted at the corners of her mouth slowly fell again.

...

Sun Zhaopeng, who had been following the case closely, was also with them from the moment they started the arrest.

Seeing the murderer caught, Sun Zhaopeng was also very excited.

He knew there would be news today.

His last submitted news piece had pleased the leaders.

Today, he had also received praise from them during the day, and if nothing went wrong, this month's bonus wasn't a worry.

"Whew… Is this the first time a case has been solved so quickly?"

Sun Zhaopeng was astounded.

As a journalist, he was well aware of the difficulty of solving cases and knew that this case wouldn't be easy to crack.

But who would have thought… the speed of solving this case far exceeded their expectations.

"Could there be something I'm unaware of?"

Sun Zhaopeng wondered.

What he didn't know was that this swift resolution stemmed from one person, Fang Hao!

Without Fang Hao, the case would likely not have progressed so smoothly.

If Fang Hao hadn't gone back to fish that day, the second body wouldn't have been discovered; without the second body, they couldn't have checked their background and social connections, making it much harder to make deductions.

Then later, Fang Hao also found the murder weapon.

The finding of the murder weapon had made it clearer for them in which direction to proceed with the case, and this piece of evidence was particularly compelling.

Fang Hao was still clueless that, because of his involvement, the police had unexpectedly solved the case in record time.

At this moment, he was still fishing at Baisa Reservoir.

Fishing while live streaming.

The popularity in his live stream was still rapidly increasing.

Unbeknownst to him, it had surged to over eighty thousand!

This was the first time his popularity had been so high.

Among those who came to watch the live stream, some were just there for the excitement, while others specifically came to see what kind of person the host who had fished up two corpses was.

"Wow, is the host who fished up two corpses this handsome?"

"I thought all fishermen were greasy middle-aged uncles."

"Fisherman: ???"

"Fisherman: You're the greasy middle-aged uncle, your whole family is."

"HAHAHAHA."

"But seriously, the host goes fishing every day and hasn't even gotten tanned, his skin seems even whiter than mine."

"Bro, do you think you can get tanned by moonlight?"

Some viewers were at a loss for words as people usually went fishing at night, so how tanned could they get?

"That makes some sense...hahaha."

"Host, it's been half an hour, haven't you caught a fish yet?"

"It looks like even with a new fishing rod, you still suck."

"Can you even fish, bro?"

Then everyone's attention returned to Fang Hao's fishing rod.

From the start of fishing until now, half an hour had passed, but there was still no movement on his rod.

Not even the motion of a fish biting.

It was getting a bit spooky.

Could he be this unlucky again?

Fang Hao's attention was fixed on the float, just watching it...for any movement.

Based on his fishing skills, this should have been impossible.

If he hadn't been fishing in Baisa Reservoir, Fang Hao would have begun to wonder if there were any fish in the water at all.

"Just half an hour...what's the rush, fishing requires patience."

But Fang Hao still stubbornly retorted.

"The slower the fish bite, the bigger the catch could be!"

"HAHAHA, host, your stubbornness is just like the stubborn goose at my home."

"Feifei Goddess has already caught a fish! Although it's just a two-pound fish, she still caught one."

"If it's not working, it's not working, host, just accept it."

"Heh, it looks like I'll have to catch a big one to slap all your faces."

Fang Hao snorted.

"Host, as long as you don't fish up another corpse, anything is fine, I'm too scared to see that."

"HAHA, we're good as long as the host promises a big catch for us to see, he'll guarantee not catch a fish."

"Is it that mystical?"

"I don't know about mystical, but if the host says so, then he definitely won't catch a fish!"

These viewers knew Fang Hao well; they were his long-time fans.

They sprouted these comments at this time to educate the new viewers.

Fang Hao was also holding his breath, waiting for the moment he would catch a fish.

However, with decades of fishing experience, he knew...the more critical the moment, the less he should rush.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching a hundred thousand popularity, you are rewarded with a Golden Treasure Box!]

Just then, a metallic voice suddenly sounded in Fang Hao's mind.

As his live stream popularity reached a hundred thousand, the system had gifted him another treasure chest.

But, this time it wasn't a Silver Treasure Box but a Golden Treasure Box!
