The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 50 - 49 Good Citizen

Ignoring the owner's various persuasions, Fang Hao ended up buying just one fishing rod for over a hundred yuan.

There was no need to buy an expensive fishing rod.

The one for over a hundred yuan was good enough.

When he first started fishing, he had bought a fishing rod for just over thirty yuan.

Even the best fishing rod here couldn't compare to the one given by the system.

He was buying a new rod just to verify what the problem might be.

If he could catch fish with any fishing rod he bought, it would mean there was a problem with the system's reward rod, and then he could consider buying a better one later.

But if he couldn't catch fish with the new rod either, maybe it really was just his bad luck.

Fang Hao didn't want to waste money on something too fancy.

Save where he should, spend where he must.

After buying the rod, Fang Hao also bought some bait.

There wasn't anything else to buy, and the total cost was just over two hundred yuan, a relatively frugal outing.

After making his purchases, he put everything into his car.

Just as he was about to drive away, Fang Hao received a call from Lin Wendong.

"Hello, Officer Lin."

He picked up the call, not knowing why the other party was contacting him out of the blue.

Could it be another case?

Or had someone fished out another body from the river? But that had nothing to do with him... He was just a fisherman, not a detective.

"Mr. Fang, sorry to bother you again. You're not busy, are you?"

"Not at the moment, Officer Lin, what's the matter?"

"It's about the major case 822 that you helped us crack. You provided significant assistance, and without the clues you provided, it wouldn't have been easy to solve the case so quickly. The higher-ups have also agreed to issue your reward. If you're free, you can come over and collect it."

Lin Wendong was informing Fang Hao to come and collect his reward money.

"Oh, okay, I just happen to be out. I'll come by later in the evening."

An unexpected surprise had once again hit him on the head.

Hey, there was a reward.

It was sort of a consolation for fishing up bodies.

"Alright, see you later."

After hanging up, Fang Hao decided to head to the police station to see Lin Wendong.

It took him over forty minutes by car to get to the station.

Having been there twice before, he was already familiar with the place.

He knew the way like the back of his hand.

The police officers there also recognized Fang Hao; after the case was solved, he could be said to be a celebrity in the entire police station.

His story was a popular topic of conversation among many.

Fishing and catching two bodies in one night, isn't that just miraculous?

Not to mention, he had eaten boxed meals at the station.

As they saw Fang Hao, they all greeted him.

This made some passersby at the police station look at Fang Hao's retreating figure with amazement.

Their eyes were filled with curiosity, wondering who this young man was that seemed to be recognized by everyone.

What kind of big shot was he?

Under the gaze of these passersby, Fang Hao found Lin Wendong.

Officer Chen Lin was also there.

When she saw Fang Hao, her eyes held a different look than before.

"Mr. Fang."

Lin Wendong came over with a smile after seeing Fang Hao.

"Thank you for your help before, which allowed us to solve the case so quickly."

"If it weren't for the second body you fished up later, and the murder weapon you provided afterward, we couldn't have resolved the case this swiftly."

"This has been the fastest case our police station has ever solved."

"The higher-ups have also commended our department."

"Heh, assisting the police in solving cases is what we should do," Fang Hao said with a smile.

"Regarding your reward, the higher-ups have also given their approval."

"Shortly, one of our precinct leaders will be handing you the reward," Officer Lin informed.

Lin Wendong had also reported Fang Hao's contributions and proposed his reward to the higher-ups after the case was solved.

"Isn't this a bit too grand...?" Fang Hao felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing that a leader would be presenting his reward.

In fact, he really hadn't done much...

The award had truly been an unexpected find.

"Not at all,"

"Concerning your reward, I actually think it's a little light," Lin Wendong said.

"Well... okay then,"

Fang Hao didn't say anything more.

"Let's head to the conference room then."

Lin Wendong and Chen Lin led Fang Hao to the conference room to prepare to receive his award.

On the way to the conference room, Fang Hao sidled up to Chen Lin and whispered, "Officer Chen, how much is the reward this time?"

Chen Lin looked surprised for a moment. She hadn't expected Fang Hao to be concerned about that and couldn't help but find it a bit amusing. But thinking about how he still had an appetite after fishing out the bodies, she came to terms with it.

His thought processes were a bit different from ordinary people.

"About ten thousand,"

Chen Lin replied.

"That much?"

This exceeded Fang Hao's expectations.

He had thought the reward would only be consolation money, around one or two thousand.

"What did you expect? This was a major case involving two lives," Chen Lin said with an eye roll.

As they chatted along, they reached the conference room.

Before long, several middle-aged men in uniform entered the conference room.

By the looks of their epaulettes, they appeared to be the precinct's leaders.

"Director Zhou."

Upon seeing the newcomers, Lin Wendong and Chen Lin quickly stood up from their chairs.

"So this is Fang Hao, who helped the police solve the case."

Director Zhou smiled at Fang Hao.

"Yes, Director Zhou, this is Fang Hao," Lin Wendong confirmed.

"Truly a distinguished young man,"

"Mr. Fang Hao, we're grateful for your assistance in solving this major case; you're our lucky star. This case has set the record for the fastest case solved in our precinct's history. Without you, this could well have remained an unsolved mystery," Director Zhou commended him warmly.

"It's only what I should do," Fang Hao said with a bashful smile.

"We hope that if a situation like this arises again, you'll be just as willing to help us out."

"If anywhere needs my assistance, I will definitely cooperate actively,"

Director Zhou was very pleased with Fang Hao's attitude.

He patted Fang Hao's shoulder, and then... proceeded to present the award.

In addition to the ten thousand yuan in prize money, they also presented Fang Hao with a Good Citizen Certificate.

With the reward in hand,

Fang Hao didn't spend too much time at the precinct, as everyone was too busy with a lot of work to do.

He just caught up with Lin Wendong, Chen Lin, and a few others for a while and exchanged a few words.

After receiving his reward, Fang Hao went home.

Once home, he promptly stored the Good Citizen Certificate carefully, similar to how he felt when receiving a Triple-A Student award back in his school days.

Fang Hao's mood was very good now.

Hey, look, I'm a "Good Citizen."

Not only had he earned this title in the system, but now he also had an official certificate to prove it in the real world.

This was officially recognized!

Besides, he had also received a ten thousand yuan prize.

Considering he currently had over a hundred thousand yuan to his name, this ten thousand was still a significant sum of money to him.
