My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 34 Lu Xingyu and Smuggled Frozen Goods

Thinking of what Yu Muzhou said, Zhou Miao regained some confidence and decided to continue with the plan to invest in the fish rafts.

He helped Luo Qianqian skewer the food, then helped move the grill and other equipment out, and also cleaned the oysters and scallops. He was busy all day, and before he knew it, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

Just then, Lu Xiaoxiao sent him a transfer of 5,320 yuan.

She had obviously sold all the more than 100 kilograms of swimming crabs, but the income of more than 5,000 yuan was still beyond Zhou Miao's expectations.

Since those hundreds of kilograms of swimming crabs included medium and small crabs, it seems that Lu Xiaoxiao's selling price was not low.

I never expected her to be such a sales pro.

The hundreds of pounds of crabs were only the harvest from a small area of ​​the beach; if he caught all the crabs, he could earn at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Zhou Miao first sailed to the dock, picked up Lu Xiaoxiao, and then returned to the fish raft.

"Xiaoxiao, you're finally here." Luo Qianqian went up and gave her a hug.

"???"

Lu Xiaoxiao was confused by her sudden enthusiasm. What happened?

Zhou Miao understood the situation; she guessed that Luo Qianqian felt sorry for her ordeal, so she became even closer to her.

He glanced at the sky; the sun was already setting in the west, and all the ingredients were ready. He then asked the two women for their questions.

"Are you hungry? Should we start grilling?"

"Sure, it takes time to start a fire and grill meat, now's the perfect time to start." Luo Qianqian readily agreed.

"Where's your brother?" Lu Xiaoxiao looked around but couldn't find Luo Hao.

"He took the customers fishing. Let's eat first, don't worry about him." Luo Qianqian took a small knife and opened the oysters and scallops one by one.

Zhou Miao stared at the charcoal fire, and when it turned red-hot, he began to grill the meat.

Barbecue is simpler than cooking; it's just a matter of whether it tastes good or not.

Zhou Miao has a natural talent for cooking, so grilling is naturally no problem for him.

Let's start with ten skewers; a smaller quantity makes it easier to control.

The rich aroma of meat made the three not-so-hungry people drool.

Fortunately, the meat was cooked quickly and it was done in no time.

"It's delicious! Zhou Miao, why don't you open a barbecue stall? I'll definitely patronize your business." Luo Qianqian quickly finished a skewer and teased with a smile.

"Setting up a stall is nowhere near as profitable as fishing!"

"Ahem... Why do you all think fishing can make money?"

"Fishing can definitely make money!"

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her strangely. She had earned 350 yuan in the morning and afternoon combined.

Even if she can't go fishing at sea every day, she still feels it's better than her previous job.

Luo Qianqian had nothing to say. She thought the two of them must have been lucky recently and made some money by fishing. They would naturally understand in time.

Right now, eating barbecue is the most important thing.

Meat really does make people happy. Zhou Miao grilled and ate as he went. When he got tired of meat, he would have some oysters or scallops. After being in Nanzhen for so many days, he finally satisfied his craving for meat.

As soon as it got dark, the three of them ate until their bellies were round.

However, Luo Hao still hadn't returned by this time, but there was still plenty of food left, enough for him to eat.

Zhou Miao and the others helped tidy up a bit, then said goodbye to Luo Qianqian and left.

"Should we go to the bank now?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked as they returned to shore.

"Go ahead, give it another try." Zhou Miao was still thinking about whether to go to the fish farm to clean oysters that night or find a swimming pool to teach Lu Xiaoxiao to swim.

As a man, he preferred the latter.

However, upon hearing that they were going to the bank, he thought that this was the most important thing, so the two of them went to the bank first.

To my surprise, when I inserted my bank card into the ATM, the machine displayed that the account was frozen.

"What's going on?" Lu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. Everything was fine yesterday, but it's frozen today?

Zhou Miao was also confused; the card freezing was rather inexplicable.

Just as the two were wondering what was going on, two police officers walked in, and they were the same two officers he knew.

They knocked on the glass door: "We need your cooperation in an investigation. Please come out and come with us."

Lu Xiaoxiao was a little uneasy. Was it because she had used her brother's bank card to withdraw money?

She actually knew that the money in the card was her brother's private property and that she had no right to touch it, but various factors forced her to take it.

I just didn't expect it to be this serious, that even the police came to our door.

"It should be fine, we just need to cooperate." Zhou Miao was also a little flustered, but he still held her hand to calm her down, and then went to the police station with her.

But this time they weren't treated as gently as before. The two were each taken to a separate room by a police officer and questioned separately.

Lu Xiaoxiao was fine. When the police saw that she was tense and looked panicked, their serious expressions softened.

"Don't worry, we invited you here today just to ask you some questions."

Hearing him say that, Lu Xiaoxiao slowly relaxed a little.

Upon seeing this, the police began to question her about why she had taken Lu Xingyu's bank card to withdraw money.

Ask her if she knows how much money is inside, and where the money came from.

After Lu Xiaoxiao answered honestly, the police officers then asked her some questions about Lu Xingyu's work, such as whether he had contact with any merchants selling frozen products.

On the other side, Zhou Miao was asked similar questions, but he didn't receive the same treatment as Lu Xiaoxiao. The police officers were quite serious, putting a lot of pressure on him.

Many of the questions were suggestive, seemingly steer the conversation toward buying and selling frozen products.

This left Zhou Miao completely baffled, as he had never encountered anything like this before.

Moreover, Lu Xingyu wasn't selling these things before; they were all normal office workers.

The questioning lasted a full hour before it finally ended.

Lu Xiaoxiao was already waiting outside, but they couldn't leave yet.

"Brother Miao, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I just asked a lot of questions." Zhou Miao was full of questions, but considering that this was a police station, he didn't ask about Lu Xiaoxiao's situation.

They didn't have to wait long, only about twenty minutes, before the two police officers who had been questioning them came over.

This time, they had smiles on their faces, and the serious atmosphere from before was gone.

One of the police officers said, "Everything's fine here now. Thank you for your cooperation. I'll take you back!"

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Miao didn't stand on ceremony.

They need to take a taxi back, and his tricycle is still in front of the bank, so they really need the police to give them a ride.

On the way, seeing that the police officers' attitude was much better than before, Zhou Miao hesitated for a long time before finally asking a question.

"Hello, I'd like to ask, was the summons today for more than just a bank card issue?"

The police officers knew that the two of them were instructed by their superiors to be taken care of, and after thinking about it, they decided to give them a little hint.

"It's mainly because of Lu Xingyu. His disappearance may be related to a case."

"What happened to my brother?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked immediately.

"I'm sorry, I can't say more."

The questioning that evening had cleared Zhou Miao and Lu Xiaoxiao of suspicion, which is why his attitude was relatively good.

However, Lu Xingyu is now more involved in the smuggling case, which is being investigated jointly by the customs anti-smuggling department and the bureau. He is just a junior police officer and doesn't actually know much about it.

Zhou Miao immediately thought of the police officers' repeated questions to Lu Xingyu about frozen products.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, took out his phone and searched online, and found news related to Su Jiang smuggling frozen products.
