Chapter 295 Rainy Night(1/3)
"Bang bang!"
April Moussa, the captain of the SWAT team, hit the fish head hard twice with a hammer, "Luke, this big guy can't just be left like this. It must be slaughtered as soon as possible, otherwise the meat will be stale and difficult to sell."
Offer a good price.”
Luke sat down on the deck, breathing heavily, "I still have some experience in killing people, but I really don't know where to stab this thing."
April Moussa said, "I have a friend who is a fishing boat captain. I occasionally go out to sea with him to catch tuna. It is very exciting and I also learned how to handle tuna from him."
Luke smiled and said, "Man, what are you waiting for? Deal with this big guy and I'll treat you to a drink another day."
Afterwards, April Moussa skillfully operated, bleeding, cutting off tails, cutting blood vessels and arteries, destroying brain cartilage, and removing fish gills and internal organs...
Finally, clean the fish body and refrigerate it in ice water.
April Moussa was already sweating profusely from exhaustion after handling the tuna.
after an hour.
The yacht returned to the dock and the bluefin tuna once again caused a stir.
The yacht that Luke and others rent is mainly for entertainment, and sea fishing is just a leisure activity, not a professional sea fishing boat.
It was an accident to catch tuna on this kind of yacht without professional equipment.
This bluefin tuna is quite big, and it is conservatively estimated to be worth two to thirty thousand US dollars. If the meat is of good quality, it can be sold for a higher price.
In line with the idea of sharing the benefits, Luke paid for all the expenses of this fishing trip.
Under normal circumstances, the cost of overseas travel is AA for everyone. The average cost per person is a few hundred dollars, which can be more or less.
Generally, few people take the initiative to treat guests and cover all the expenses for sea fishing. Money is only one aspect, and the deeper reasons are more complicated.
However, Luke's situation was different this time. Everyone went out to sea together, but he was the only one who caught tens of thousands of dollars in bluefin tuna.
He is also the protagonist of this party, and he pays for the fishing expenses. No one else thinks too much about it, and they are all happy to appreciate it and feel happy.
Everyone divided the caught seafood and went home.
Luke bid farewell to everyone and processed bluefin tuna with Red.
Rhett knew the director of the dock and asked him to help handle the bluefin tuna.
First, take photos and records, weigh 670 pounds of bluefin tuna, mark it, identify the quality of the tuna, and price it.
This bluefin tuna is large enough, and it is slaughtered in time to ensure high quality. The quality of the meat is very good. It is priced at 60 US dollars per pound, and the total price is about 40,000 US dollars.
Luke was very satisfied with the price. He was attending the party and could make some money along the way. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
After disposing of the tuna, Luke returned home instead of continuing to swim outside.
He also made an appointment with Daisy tonight.
Because the last hotel candid shooting incident made both Luke and Luke feel a little uncomfortable, so they decided to have a date at home this time.
Occasionally dating at home can be quite romantic.
When he got home, Luke put the fish in the kitchen sink and took a shower first. He worked hard to catch the tuna on the boat.
After taking a shower, Luke checked the detective system. The original system reserve was US$156,000, but now it was US$116,000.
Cash in on sea fishing.
Luke was not surprised by this. Professional fishing boats using professional tools may not be able to catch such a big bluefin tuna. Luke was lucky to catch a bluefin tuna this time.
However, this can be regarded as a good method of cashing out money, which not only brings benefits but also shows off one’s face.
In addition to the system reserves, Luke also has US$1.25 million in the stock market, with a current market value of approximately US$1.27 million, a small profit.
In addition, he has $280,000 in cash. (After tax)
If you add in the money from selling bluefin tuna, Luke already has more than 300,000 US dollars in cash.
Making money without spending money is not Luke's style.
Moreover, the twists and turns of the headless corpse caused Luke to consume a lot of energy, so he had to take a good rest for a few days to relax.
Luke is going to rent a luxury RV and go to the wild for a few days to experience the natural scenery.
Luke started browsing the RV rental website. RVs are mainly divided into three categories. Class A RVs are the largest. The advantage is that they are comfortable to live in and can accommodate several people at the same time. However, the disadvantages are that driving and parking are inconvenient.
Class B RVs are the smallest and have the advantage of being cheaper and more flexible.
Class C RVs are between Type A and Type B. They are medium in size and can accommodate two to three people.
After careful comparison, Luke found that the one was too big to use and the one that was too small was uncomfortable to live in. He finally chose a C-type luxury RV.
Luke browsed photos and videos of RVs online, including a full set of outdoor facilities, refrigerators, kitchen utensils, household appliances, etc. It looked like a small mobile house.
He likes this RV very much and has always dreamed of traveling in an RV.
This time, it will finally come true.
Of course, the price is not cheap, the rental is US$280 per day.
After booking the RV, Luke started preparing dinner, including vegetable salad, steamed grouper, a pot of seafood stew, and a bottle of red wine.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Daisy came to Luke's house and packed a pizza and French fries.
The candlelight dinner for two people officially began.
Daisy looked at the various seafood on the table and asked, "Did you go fishing in the sea?"
"Is it that obvious?"
Daisy smiled and said, "You only prepare a table of seafood when you go fishing. Usually it's meat."
"Yes, I did go fishing in the sea. In addition to the seafood on the table, I also caught a 670-pound bluefin tuna."
"real or fake?"
Luke took out his cell phone and pulled out a photo, "I was so tired today just to catch this big guy that the skin on my hands is almost peeling off."
Daisy looked surprised, "Wow, you really caught it!"
It’s so big and looks so fat, the meat must be of good quality.”
Luke said, "Hearing what you said, I suddenly regretted it. I should have cut some on the spot. The fresh bluefin tuna must be delicious."
Daisy spread her hands and said, "Don't be sorry, these seafood are enough for us. We can't eat the tuna when we get it back. It will be stale tomorrow."
Luke picked up the red wine glass and clinked it with Daisy, "I'll take you fishing together next time. It'll be a good way to relax."
"That will have to wait until I have time."
"Are you still busy lately?"
"Same as usual. It's you, how does it feel to be the captain?"
“It felt quite fresh at first. I have my own office and I feel more free.
But the pressure of the investigation is also greater..."
"That headless female corpse?"
"You heard it too."
"You know, this kind of eucalyptus is easy to talk about."
"Yes, this case has attracted much attention from the media and citizens, so I not only have to deal with the murderer, but also the reporters." Luke sighed lightly,
"Fortunately, the case is over.
By the way, I'm going to go camping for a few days, do you want to go with me, just to relax."
"how to get to?"
“Rent an RV.”
"when to go?"
"tomorrow."
Daisy frowned slightly, "Time is too tight, your invitation is not sincere."
Luke spread his hands and said, "I did it on the spur of the moment. Bluefin tuna has made me a lot of money. If I don't spend some money, I feel uncomfortable.
I want to take a trip that can be done anytime.”
"I'm not as chic as you, and I have an appointment tomorrow.
Sorry, I can't go with you.
However, I can help you choose an RV later."
Luke said, "I just made a reservation."
Daisy was a little surprised, "Wow... you are different from before."
"Why?"
"Uh... if it were in the past, you would have consulted me first before choosing an RV."
Luke smiled and said, "I just browsed the RV website and saw an RV I really liked, so I booked it without thinking too much at the time."
