My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 217 Two Opportunities to Inquire Each Month

Click to begin the wonderful journey of "My Fishing Raft Can Ask for Help".

After leaving Yu Muzhou's house, Zhou Miao found that he had indeed received an extra 100,000 yuan in his bank account, which was the reward for the two bluefish.

His savings are now approaching 500,000, and he feels that if he saves a little more, he can buy a ship to sail to the open sea.

There's no need to worry about fishing boats or angling boats at that time, as long as we can go to the open sea.

As the scope expands, requests for assistance naturally follow.

After a satisfying meal, we returned to the fishing raft. As before, only a few anglers remained on the raft after dinner.

But today, the atmosphere on the fish raft seemed a bit heavy.

Luo Qianqian's eyes were red, suggesting she had been crying, and Lu Xiaoxiao stayed by her side.

Luo Hao stood to the side, frowning and smoking, with Lu Xingyu beside him.

The atmosphere made Zhou Miao's heart skip a beat. Had something happened again?

"What's going on? Has someone come to cause trouble again?"

"Ah Miao, thank you!" Upon seeing him return, Luo Qianqian immediately threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Uh, why are you suddenly thanking me?" Zhou Miao was even more confused now.

"I remember saying I was very familiar with the lighter in that metal box you brought back! When I got home and went to sleep, my uncle appeared to me in a dream and told me where that lighter came from."

"Later, I took a picture of the metal box and showed it to my aunt. My aunt confirmed that the metal box belonged to my uncle."

"He usually keeps them on the boat. Occasionally, when he comes back from a sea voyage, he will bring back the shells he has polished himself, because my older cousin loved all kinds of beautiful shells when she was a child."

Luo Hao came to his side, explained in a somber voice, and showed him an old photo on his phone.

There were two young men inside, the older one no more than twenty years old, holding a familiar-looking lighter and posing coolly for the camera.

The person seemed to cherish their lighter, deliberately holding it in their hand for a photo, which turned out fairly clear.

If you only saw this lighter, you might just think it was a coincidence.

However, the dream and his aunt's confirmation of the iron box, along with the polished seashells inside, all proved that this thing was indeed Luo Hao's uncle's keepsake.

Zhou Miao felt a chill run down her spine after hearing this: "You dreamed about your uncle?"

Luo Hao shook his head: "I just suddenly dreamed of a scene from when I was looking at photos. When I woke up, I opened the photo album at home and that's when I thought of this possibility."

"In the end, we showed the photo of the metal box to my aunt to confirm it."

"I see!" Zhou Miao breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that Luo Hao was dreaming of his uncle whom he had never met, which was a little scary.

Relieved, he pinched Luo Qianqian's little nose and chuckled, "So you cried?"

"I'm just heartbroken. My uncle was such a good person, how could such an accident happen to him?" Luo Qianqian's voice was still a little muffled as she clung to him, refusing to leave.

Just as Zhou Miao was about to offer some words of comfort, Luo Hao sighed and said, "Alas, going out to sea was inherently dangerous in those days, and many fishermen perished."

Hearing this, he thought to himself, "Sometimes, people's hearts are even more terrifying."

However, Zhou Miao also remembered the system's situation. Now that the Luo family had discovered whose iron box it was, why hadn't the request for help been completed yet?

"By the way, Ah Hao, where's the metal box? Didn't you take it back to your aunt?"

"No, since you brought it back, I should have told you first if I wanted to take it back."

"Hey, now that it's confirmed that this is your uncle's keepsake, just take it back and give it to your aunt."

"Thank you so much, Miao. I'll treat you to dinner after this is all sorted out," Luo Hao said earnestly.

Zhou Miao patted him on the shoulder: "No need to be so polite."

After completing the request for help, he could then see if he could obtain some crucial evidence.

Even without evidence, we can gather other intelligence to help him earn more money and buy a better ship.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about such heavy things anymore. Ah Miao, where did you go today? I didn't see you go out to sea in your boat!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was no longer heavy, Lu Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't known how to comfort Luo Hao and his sister before, so he could only smoke with them, almost ruining his lungs.

"I went fishing with Brother Zhou. You all know those fishing guys, their hands get itchy if they don't hold a fishing rod for a day."

Zhou Miao didn't intend to mention that he had earned 100,000 yuan today; saying it would only provoke envy.

He went and got the metal box, then handed it to Luo Hao.

"There's nothing else to do tonight, so you can take the metal box and head back!"

"Okay, then we'll be going now."

Luo Hao nodded, took his things, and went home with Luo Qianqian.

After watching them leave, Zhou Miao, feeling a little tired, found a chair and lay down, looking forward to the reward upon completion of the mission.

Sure enough, at 9 p.m., after the last customer was sent back to shore, the system's voice sounded.

[A reward from a fishing boat thirty years ago: The fishing boat is very grateful that you fulfilled its master's last wish. Not knowing how to thank you enough, the fishing boat promised that you can ask it two questions every month, and it will tell you the truth as long as it knows the answer.]

[Note: To gather information, you need to first go to the waters where the fishing boat is located.]

Upon hearing the report, Zhou Miao felt a surge of anticipation, but when he discovered that he would only have two opportunities per month to gather intelligence, and that the intelligence had to be known by the fishing boat, his smile instantly froze.

Why is this reward different from what he expected?

Zhou Miao was in a state of uncertainty because he didn't yet know the true value of the twice-monthly intelligence opportunities.

What if the fishing boat doesn't know the information he wants? Wouldn't that be a real problem?

With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Miao couldn't sleep well all night, constantly worrying about the matter.

So the next day, just as dawn broke, he set sail for the location of the fishing boat.

More than an hour later, Zhou Miao returned to the waters where the fishing boat was located.

There are two chances per month, and I don't know if the time is refreshed after I ask, or if it follows the lunar or solar calendar.

But he needs to carefully consider the questions he is prepared to ask.

"System, how do I obtain information from the fishing boats?"

[Think it out silently, and the system will relay it.]

"Alright, ask the fishing boat if any evidence was left behind that could prove the murderer after its owner was killed."

After Zhou Miao asked his question, the system did not immediately provide him with the fishing boat's answer.

He wasn't in a hurry, so he just sat on the fishing boat and waited quietly.

About ten minutes later, the system's voice finally sounded in my mind.

[About seven or eight meters east of the fishing boat, on the sandy bed, lies the remains of the boat owner. A murder weapon is found in his chest, and a torn sleeve of his coat is in his hand.]

Zhou Miao was shocked after hearing the answer; he actually had the ability to answer it.

What he didn't expect was that the fisherman's remains were nearby, buried in the sand.

Under normal circumstances, the remains of people who die at sea are never found, and it is unknown whether these two items can help identify the murderer.

Zhou Miao was in such a rush this morning that he didn't bring any diving equipment, so he'll have to do it another time.

So he began asking the fishing boat his second question.
