Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

"Oh dear, one of them didn't make it up, and now another one has gone down."

Wang Desheng was so anxious he wanted to slap himself. Why hadn't he learned to scuba dive properly back then? That way he could have gone down himself and wouldn't have needed to ask Fu Wan to come over.

At this moment, Wang Desheng completely forgot that even the professional divers he had invited from the city had failed to find anything on the seabed.

It's clear that whether he's a good swimmer or not is completely unimportant.

Jiang Wenming was also troubled. After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "How about we send our comrades who went into the water to check if they have recovered?"

Before Wang Desheng could reply, a loud splash came from the sea, and Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou emerged from the water.

"God, we're finally back!"

Wang Desheng hurriedly turned around and gave the following instructions:

"Go help them, pull them up!"

Bai Qianzhou didn't jump into the water rashly. He knew his own limitations and had tied a safety rope around his waist when he put on his diving equipment.

The other crew members on the boat immediately pulled the safety rope back, while Bai Qianzhou pulled Fu Wan along. Before long, the two were finally pulled to the side of the boat.

Fu Wan picked up the leather suitcase and handed it to Wang Desheng, saying solemnly:

"Commander Wang, is this it? I have accomplished my mission."

Wang Desheng was so focused on rescuing people that he didn't even notice whether Fu Wan had found anything in the water.

The leather suitcase was shoved right in front of him, and Wang Desheng almost thought he was dreaming.

"My God, Comrade Xiao Fu, you really found him?"

"I told you, Comrade Xiao Fu would definitely be able to do it!"

Seeing this, Jiang Wenming excitedly touched his face, which had been stiffened by the sea breeze, and turned to shout to his subordinates, "Go, bring that kid Sakata over here and let him know!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Sakata was brought up.

Fu Wan leaned back on the side of the boat to rest. She glanced at Sakata twice. His face was switching back and forth between disbelief and anger. It seemed that she had indeed found the right person.

"No, this isn't my box!"

Sakata's eyes darted around, but he stubbornly denied it.

Unfortunately, everyone present was shrewd. Jiang Wenming had interrogated countless people, so how could he not see that this guy was lying?

"Hmph, I don't care if you are or not, bring me the knife and pliers, I'll open the box myself!"

Wang Desheng waved his hand, and someone immediately brought over the tools.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fu Wan hurriedly went to the cabin to dry off the seawater and put on the coat she had brought with her. When she returned to the deck, Wang Desheng had just broken the lock on the leather trunk.

"Damn, this is interesting. Besides the outer lock, there's also a combination lock inside this box."

Wang Desheng laughed in anger, turned around and threw the large padlock aside, then struggled with the combination lock on it.

He had just tried cutting it with a knife, but the box was made of cowhide from who-knows-where, and the knife couldn't cut it at all.

A hint of smugness flashed in Sakata's eyes. So what if they found the box? These people couldn't open it. If they couldn't get what was inside, they still couldn't convict themselves.

"Why don't I give it a try!"

Just then, Bai Qianzhou, who had finished dressing, walked over.

Fu Wan also spoke up: "I remember there's a trick to this kind of combination lock. You should be able to judge the situation inside the lock by the sound of the gears turning, and thus crack the combination."

Bai Qianzhou nodded, "Yes, this kind of lock is very common abroad. I've seen others open it a few times before. Commander Wang, why don't you let me give it a try?"

Seeing Bai Qianzhou's confident demeanor, Wang Desheng simply stepped aside.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

The ship's engine had stopped as soon as Fu Wan went into the water, so there was no other sound except for the sea breeze and the sound of the waves.

Bai Qianzhou stood the box upright and then slowly began to turn the combination lock on it.

This lock is actually somewhat similar to the combination locks on suitcases in later generations, but the lock in front of us is made of metal, which looks quite sophisticated.

Fu Wan, with her keen ears, decided to join in and help as well.

This scene caught Sakata Taro's eye, and he couldn't help but snort coldly. This lock used a secret technique of their island nation's royal family, and these two Chinese people definitely couldn't open it.

However, just as Sakata Taro was smugly thinking about how to return home, there was only a click as Bai Qianzhou calmly opened the last clasp of the leather suitcase. Everyone was so shocked by this that they forgot to breathe and rushed over to check the situation.

Inside the box lay two brightly patterned vases, which, judging by their height, were no more than fifteen centimeters tall.

That's it? ?

Wang Desheng was somewhat disappointed. Where were the promised drugs? Why were there only two antique bottles?

Jiang Wenming was also baffled. Fu Wan had been watching Sakata Taro's expression closely. When the box was opened, a hint of ferocity flashed across Sakata Taro's face, but he quickly calmed down after seeing the vase.

Therefore, these two vases are probably not so simple.

"Is this an antique?"

Fu Wan asked, and Bai Qianzhou took a closer look at the bottle.

"It should be. The pattern looks like it's from the Qianlong era."

For some reason, Bai Qianzhou felt that something was wrong with the bottle.

"Commander Wang, may I take it out and have a look?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Desheng quickly agreed, "Of course, Dr. Bai. Among all of us, you've seen the most antiques. Please take a look and see if there are any problems!"

What should have been a drug case has now turned into an antique smuggling case. Not to mention Jiang Wenming, even Wang Desheng feels aggrieved.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qianzhou found a clean pair of gloves to put on, and then carefully took out the vase to examine it.

Fu Wan continued to secretly observe Sakata Taro's changing expressions.

Sakata was also watching Bai Qianzhou inspect the vase.

The bottle opening is fine, the bottom is fine, the body of the bottle...

Bai Qianzhou gently tapped the bottle with his index finger. The sound was a bit off. Just then, Fu Wan keenly noticed that Sakata Taro's eyes widened involuntarily, and his mouth opened and closed several times.

What's wrong with the bottle?

Fu Wan shifted her gaze to the vase, and suddenly, she remembered a TV series she had watched before. In the imperial palace, there was a type of wine pot for pouring wine called the Yin-Yang Pot, or the Mandarin Duck Pot.

By simply flipping the switch on the pot, one can replace fine wine with poison that has been stored in the pot beforehand, right in front of everyone.

Could the vase in front of us also be a yin-yang vase?

If we find the switch, we can separate it and hide something inside.

Thinking of this, Fu Wan also picked up a pair of clean gloves and began to examine another vase.

The vase's pattern is very elaborate, clearly in line with Emperor Qianlong's aesthetic. Fu Wan carefully scanned the vase and quickly noticed a problem: there was a tiny, almost imperceptible line between the neck of the vase and the pattern on the body.

Fu Wan reached out and touched the thread, but didn't find anything different. However, she still boldly grabbed the neck of the bottle and twisted it. After twisting it a few times, the neck creaked twice and came off easily.

"Damn, Comrade Fu, you have such a strong grip?"

Upon seeing this, Wang Desheng was so frightened that he immediately stood up. Good heavens, that's an antique! How did Comrade Xiao Fu manage to twist this vase in half!

In contrast, Jiang Wenming was much calmer. He quickly bent down and peeked inside, only to find the vase still empty.

However, the next second, Fu Wan found the gap in the bottle again. She carefully pried it open along the gap, and soon, the hidden layer in the bottle appeared in front of Jiang Wenming and the others.

"Captain Jiang, look..."

Fu Wan extended two fingers and carefully pulled out a transparent bag from the interlayer, inside which was white powder.

Jiang Wenming took the object and examined it carefully. Then, he nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, this is it!"

"It looks like flour, but it's actually very harmful!"

"Damn it, there must be at least half a pound of stuff in that bag! No wonder Sakata wanted to throw it into the sea!"
