The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

"What!"

"You caught a cannon?"

When Lin Wendong received the call from Fang Hao, he was instantly dumbstruck.

He thought he had misheard.

After confirming again, he was sure he hadn't misheard and was utterly shocked.

The police familiar with Fang Hao was Lin Wendong's team.

So when reporting the incident, they were the first ones Fang Hao contacted.

Lin Wendong couldn't believe that Fang Hao had caught a cannon; he felt like he heard it wrong.

Who would believe that?

You fish for fish, and you catch a cannon?

This was unheard of.

If it were someone else, Lin Wendong might have thought it was a prank.

But.

The person who caught the cannon was Fang Hao.

That made things different.

Considering the things Fang Hao had caught while fishing before, it seemed that catching a cannon was quite reasonable; it made complete sense.

Outrageous, yet reasonable.

That's Fang Hao.

Now, whatever he caught, no one would find it strange.

But as unsurprising as it may be, they were still shocked to learn that this time he had caught an actual cannon.

Some of the policemen around Lin Wendong were also looking at him with puzzlement.

They didn't know why suddenly Lin mentioned catching a cannon and all pricked up their ears, wanting to find out what it was about.

"Okay, where are you guys now?"

Upon hearing Fang Hao's location, he told Fang Hao to stay put, and he would come over immediately.

"Then wait there, we will send someone right away."

After the phone call ended, Xiao Li couldn't help but ask.

"Master, what was that call just now, why did I hear you mention a cannon?"

"It's Fang Hao, he went fishing and caught something again, and what he caught isn't just something else, it's a big cannon."

As soon as he said this, not only was Xiao Li stunned, but most of the people in the office were as well.

Caught a cannon?

This was truly unprecedented news.

No one had ever heard of catching a cannon while fishing.

It shattered everyone's perceptions.

"Can't he stay out of trouble for a while? We had just finished dealing with the case that came up from his last fishing trip," Xiao Li said with a grimace.

He hadn't been able to close his eyes properly during these busy days and had just been planning to rest for a couple of days, but now Fang Hao had caused another commotion.

Catching a cannon, that was surely no small matter.

Who knew how much work would follow?

That was his complaint.

"Holy cow, someone really did catch a cannon."

"How did they fish out this cannon? Can a normal person even pull it off?"

Others in the office were also very surprised at how the cannon was caught.

They really couldn't understand.

In fact, even Lin Wendong himself was curious about how Fang Hao managed to fish out the cannon.

Before arriving at the scene, he didn't know what the situation was.

So it was best to go to the scene to see for themselves.

He reported the situation to his superiors while preparing to take his team to the scene.

"Quick, someone check his livestream."

Someone shouted.

Only then did they remember that Fang Hao would livestream when he fished.

They immediately searched for Fang Hao's livestream and entered it.

When they saw the cannon in the livestream, everyone was stunned.

That cannon didn't look light at all.

"This... is really a cannon."

"Holy smokes, that's amazing."

"This guy really is extraordinary, he can catch anything."

"Does he have some kind of special magic on him? He always ends up catching such special things."

People were talking all around while they watched the livestream of Fang Hao.

"Second unit, follow me."

Everything would be clarified first at the scene.

For now, apart from knowing that a cannon was caught, they didn't have any other information.

Lin Wendong prepared to lead people to the scene.

...

At Qingshui Pond.

Fang Hao stood next to the cannon, meticulously examining it.

At the same time, he was working on untangling the fishing line wrapped around the cannon's wheels.

The fishing lines were tightly wound and took some time to unravel.

The hook had been deformed by the tightness of the lines and needed to be replaced.

This was not a significant problem.

As long as the fishing rod wasn't broken, all these issues were minor.

The fishing rod awarded by the system was really decent; it could pull up such a heavy cannon without any problems.

Looking at the process of how the cannon was caught, the rod got bent all out of shape.

Yet it didn't break, which demonstrated just how durable and strong the material of this fishing rod was.

If it had been made with ordinary materials, it might have already snapped.

Such was an item awarded by the system—it wouldn't cut corners.

Only top-quality materials were used.

Just like the car he drove before, its performance was also better than ordinary cars on the market!

While working on the entangled fishing line, Fang Hao also took the time to examine the cannon.

Due to being immersed in water for a long time, it was heavily rusted.

Especially around the wheels and the base, the rust was severe, with spots and patches everywhere.

On the cannon, there was also a lot of mud and gravel, brought up from the bottom of the lake, as well as some water plants and moss.

When he had almost finished observing it, he had also almost untangled all the fishing line.

Based on what he observed, Fang Hao could roughly guess that this was a cannon from the era of the World War.

He then turned his gaze back to the lake.

If a cannon could be caught here, could there be other things underneath?

After all, it wasn't likely that they only left a single cannon here during the war.
