Professional work should be left to the professionals.
He's just a fishing streamer, his job is streaming, and his hobby is... er, fishing.
Cases like these were not his forte; naturally, he left them to professional police officers.
His biggest wish today had been to catch some fish, a big one at that.
Otherwise, why would he dash back here? He might as well have stayed home and slept.
The atmosphere had been building up to this moment, and it would have been rude not to catch a fish by then.
"Guys, let's be serious. Let's talk about whether I can catch a big fish today."
"Big fish?"
"What big fish?"
"Aren't you the Corpse-fishing streamer?"
What the heck?
When Fang Hao saw the new nickname some online friends had given him, his face turned green. What the hell is a Corpse-fishing streamer?
He would have accepted being called a loser streamer.
This Corpse-fishing streamer...
He's a legit fishing streamer, okay?
No, he had to change the name of his streaming room.
Fang Hao planned to change the name of his streaming room from "Wild Fang Hao" to "Genuine Mr. Fang Fishing."
As soon as he thought of it, he manually changed the name in his streaming room.
"It looks like I must catch a fish today."
"I need to show you my true fishing skills," Fang Hao grunted.
"Give up, streamer. You're not going to catch any fish today."
"If you manage to catch a fish, I'll pee standing on my head."
"Pee standing on your head? Wouldn't you pee into your own mouth?"
"I have visuals now…"
"66666, that's a bold claim, I wanna see."
"Streamer, you've got to try harder today. No matter what, you've got to catch a fish, not for anything else, just to see someone pee standing on their head."
"Um... even though I'm a girl, I want to see too (shy)."
"Don't go, girl upstairs. We could perform in private for you."
"I suspect you have ulterior motives, but there's no proof."
The atmosphere in the streaming room was hotter than usual.
As more people joined, the vibe changed even more.
Fang Hao's streaming room was always full of fun and relaxation. Now that more people had joined, the number of comments flying across the screen shot up.
His popularity rapidly increased.
Initially just a newbie streamer, he now had thousands of viewers in his streaming room.
His popularity was also rising on Weibo.
Many people who came to join in the fun stumbled upon Fang Hao's stream and decided to watch.
They hadn't expected that once they entered, they wouldn't want to leave.
After watching the stream, they found it quite interesting.
The online friends inside were all talented and funny, making them instantly like it.
They had indeed found their community.
(￣▽￣)~*
"Ah, I'm just thinking why I didn't meet the streamer earlier."
"But it's not too late now."
"Watching the streamer's fishing stories is pretty amusing."
"What? Who died fishing? Did you catch another corpse?"
"…"
"Nope."
"I need to change my fishing rod."
"The previous one was a bit too soft, not smooth to use."
Fang Hao picked up the fishing rod, and yet again, the hook was empty.
For the moment, the number of fish caught was still zero.
There really might be something fishy. There weren't many people fishing at this time. That was odd.
Fang Hao puzzled over it internally. He'd been fishing for many years and had never experienced a time when he couldn't even catch a tiny silverfish.
The usually spurned silverfish had now become desirable.
"Stubborn streamer, just admit that you can't do it."
"Men should never say they can't."
"..."
...
After changing the fishing rod, Fang Hao cast the fishing line back into the water.
And this time, just a few minutes after switching the fishing rod,
"Got a bite!"
Fang Hao's eyes lit up, immediately feeling something different about the rod in his hands.
He tried to pull it back but had a bit of trouble...
Could it really be a big catch?
Fang Hao's feelings surged with nervousness and excitement.
The viewers in the live stream seemed to notice Fang Hao's unusual behavior.
"Could it be? After changing rods, he's actually going to catch a fish?"
"That's not scientific."
"It seems like a big one, though."
"Hey, if the streamer catches a fish, that's cool for us."
"If he catches a fish, that's boring. Let's go, let's go."
"..."
Some viewers started teasing.
While others looked forward to a big catch, anticipating the full fish feast they had been waiting for.
"The streamer said if he catches a big one, he'll treat us to a full fish feast. Does that still stand?"
A crowd watched as Fang Hao tried to reel in the fish.
However,
he hadn't been happy for a few seconds
when Fang Hao's expression changed.
Because he realized that the feel of reeling in this time was different from a normal catch, still without any movements or struggles from a fish.
Damn it, could he be this unlucky?
Fang Hao's mind went blank.
The feeling was the same as before; although it was heavy, pulling it up didn't require much strength.
Logically, if it were a big fish, he would hardly be able to pull it on his own.
He'd even have to be careful not to get dragged into the water by the fish.
But now, it felt similar to the previous time when he'd caught a corpse.
"Please don't let it be another corpse."
Fang Hao prayed in his heart.
He truly didn't want to catch another corpse.
But contrary to his hopes, when he pulled the catch closer, and saw… a bag, with a rotting arm sticking out, he knew what he had caught.
He had caught another corpse.
Striking twice.
Two corpses reeled in consecutively.
This could almost be described as a bizarre new first in fishing.
Just saying, who else has such luck?
Fang Hao was completely numb, his face expressionless.
In the same place, at the same spot, at the same time... he had caught two corpses.
He felt his mentality starting to crumble.
In the end, he couldn't even remember how he had reported to the police.
His whole person was in a daze.
...
And the moment Fang Hao caught another corpse, the live stream room also exploded.
"Damn, this… it's not a fish again, there goes my full fish feast."
"Holy shit, another corpse?"
"The streamer's luck is unbelievable! I suggest he goes buy a lottery ticket."
"I actually predicted it right, he really did catch a second corpse!"
"Case closed, the person above is definitely the killer."
Catching two corpses in a row, and this time the corpse was even stuffed in a bag; it was clear that these weren't accidental deaths, definitely murders.
As for whether the two corpses were connected, that was yet unknown.
The audience couldn't immediately make such a judgment.
That would require further investigation.
"Call the paranormal hotline."
"Indeed the Corpse-fishing streamer, catching another corpse."
Fang Hao didn't realize that with this incident, he had firmly established his nickname as the 'Corpse-fishing Streamer.'
