Zhou Miao knew that he had only solved some minor problems so far. Luo Zhiyong's fish raft was still not back because of what he had done, and things wouldn't be over so quickly.

So he still needs to complete the shipwreck mission as soon as possible, see if he can find any evidence, and take care of that family directly.

So the next day, he stopped guarding the fish raft and didn't care whether the police station would summon him or come to investigate. He took his boat, put on his diving gear, and headed to the sunken ship.

Zhou Miao goes out to sea from time to time, and spends relatively little time on the fish raft. Therefore, Lu Xingyu and the others have gotten used to it and do not ask him what he does at sea.

They even hoped he would discover some treasure or resource at sea and make money with them.

At 9:30 a.m., Zhou Miao returned to the shipwreck site.

He changed into a diving suit, grabbed a spear for self-defense, and then jumped into the water.

After swimming down a dozen meters, Zhou Miao spotted a dark figure. As he got closer, an old-fashioned iron boat came into view.

The boat was capsized, covered with seaweed and coral, but there wasn't a single fish swimming around, making it look particularly lonely.

Under normal circumstances, shipwrecks are perfect shelters for various small fish and lobsters.

But thinking about the ten grouper during the competition, Zhou Miao felt that the current situation was quite normal.

The shipwreck itself cannot be viewed through the lens of common sense, just as he himself was inexplicably bound to a system.

Zhou Miao, trapped in an information cocoon, can only marvel at the various phenomena that defy the natural order.

However, Zhou Miao remained cautious and slowed his approach, gripping the spear in his hand to increase his sense of security.

But nothing happened, and he even had a strange feeling.

As he got closer to the sunken ship, his body seemed to lighten, and he felt the surrounding water flow slow down considerably.

Not noticing anything unusual, Zhou Miao slowly approached the sunken ship.

The mission is to find the gift left by the shipwreck owner for his daughter, so we need to search inside the ship.

But Zhou Miao still felt a little uneasy, as if the ship owner's remains might suddenly appear, like in some scenes from horror movies.

The cabin of this metal boat is very small, similar to the three types of fishing boats commonly seen at sea. There is only a small space for sailing and a sleeping space behind a small door in the lower left corner. There is not even a toilet.

The request for help has already stated that the gift is placed inside the sleeping pod.

However, Zhou Miao first searched the drawer next to the steering wheel and the storage cabinet below, but only found some rotten household items and a bunch of keys that had been stuck together. He didn't find the identification or anything like that he wanted.

After finding nothing, he could only open the small door to the room on the left.

The pitch-black room made people afraid to go in, as if they were afraid that if they went in, they would be met with two pairs of empty eyes staring at them.

Who knows where Luo Zhiyong's father and uncle threw the body? Maybe they threw it into a room, and then the boat sank.

Zhou Miao arrived at the door and shone his flashlight inside.

However, he found the place to be empty, and there was no skeleton as he had expected.

Looking around again, there wasn't a skeleton, not even a fish.

Zhou Miao felt relieved and grabbed the door frame to squeeze inside.

Below was a dark, murky mass, which was probably a rotten blanket and straw mat.

Zhou Miao ignored all of that and began searching the surrounding area.

The sleeping pod was completely exposed, with no wardrobe, let alone drawers or anything like that.

Zhou Miao looked down at the black mass below and had no choice but to use the harpoon to pry it out.

The clear water suddenly became murky, so he quickly stopped, went outside, and used his harpoon to hook the object out and throw it away.

After the water became less murky, he went back in and found a small metal box in the corner.

It seemed this was the thing. Zhou Miao stepped forward, picked up the iron box, searched again, and after finding nothing else, left and returned to the ship.

After removing the air tank, he immediately picked up the rusty metal box and tried to open it.

However, the gaps in the metal box lid were covered in rust, and he had to use the dagger he had just taken from the club to remove the rust before he could force the box open.

After pouring out the rusty liquid, Zhou Miao saw that there were many things inside.

Apart from a rusty kerosene lighter, the rest were all perfectly intact seashells.

However, after being soaked in rusty water for a long time, it has completely lost its original luster and is covered with rust.

"..."

Zhou Miao could imagine that the owner of the sunken ship had specially collected some pretty seashells to take back with him in order to please his daughter.

Some of these seashells still have a white jade-like color, indicating that they have all been polished.

Zhou Miao suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and her eyes also felt a little hot.

Then, he picked up the lid, closed the tin box, got up, and sailed to the coral reef to collect sea urchins.

Zhou Miao worked until 3 p.m., when the air tank ran out, before finally returning to base.

He caught quite a few sea urchins, which lifted his spirits considerably.

Back at the dock, they sold all the sea urchins to Pang Yu for 23,000 yuan.

Zhou Miao then returned to the fish raft, still holding the rusty iron box in his hand.

Now there's another thing troubling him: he's found the "gift," but how do he deliver it to Luo Hao's cousin?

Zhou Miao thought that the kerosene lighter in the iron box might prove the identity of the ship's owner, but he was just born when his uncle Luo Hao died, so he definitely wouldn't recognize this thing.

The only person who would recognize this lighter was his father, who was also his future father-in-law.

So he has to subtly show things to his future father-in-law, which is a real headache!

"Ah Miao, what are you holding in your hand?" There wasn't much to do in the afternoon, so Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao were resting on chairs.

After all, Zheng Xiaojia is just here to work; customers can just contact her if they need anything.

"I went diving today and found a shipwreck. I went inside and looked around, and that's when I found this metal box."

Shipwreck, iron box?

Those around who heard this all turned to look, clearly intrigued.

Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao were also taken aback, and Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu, who were at the convenience store, also came over.

"Have you discovered a treasure?"

Lu Xingyu picked up the metal box and shook it, then heard a clanging sound from inside.

"What valuable things could a fishing boat have?" Zhou Miao took back the iron box and opened it.

Curious customers gathered around, but lost interest once they found the shells were covered in rust.

Only Luo Hao frowned and picked up the lighter inside to examine it.

Zhou Miao had been observing the brother and sister. Luo Qianqian didn't react much, but Luo Hao's expression stirred something within him.

"Ah Hao, do you like this old-fashioned kerosene lighter?"

"Take it back if you like it; it's no use leaving it here anyway."

Luo Hao shook his head: "No, I just feel like this thing looks familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before."
