Huh?
Another reward.
The sudden reward brought joy to Fang Hao's heart.
The last Silver Treasure Chest had netted him a brand-new fishing rod, which felt great in his hands.
Although he hadn't caught any fish with the new rod yet...
Cough cough, but that wasn't the point.
The main thing was that the rod was indeed of excellent material—it was a top-grade, handmade fishing rod.
It was very valuable and would cost at least a few tens of thousands to buy such a rod outside.
A Silver Treasure Chest had yielded such a great item.
So what could be in this Golden Treasure Chest this time?
After all, the Golden Treasure Chest was a level higher than the Silver Treasure Chest.
The contents were bound to be no worse than those in the Silver Treasure Chest.
But Fang Hao was livestreaming right now, so it wasn't convenient to open the Treasure Chest.
If there were any good items, he wouldn't feel right taking them out for inspection in full view of the public.
Better to wait until later when he got back, then open it.
There was no rush.
No hurry, no hurry.
Suppressing his eagerness to open the Treasure Chest, Fang Hao redirected his attention back to fishing.
Today, he had to catch a fish no matter what, to do justice to his new fishing rod.
Before he had finished being pleased with himself...
[Ding, congratulations to the host for assisting the police in solving a case, earning the title of Good Citizen, as well as a reward of thirty thousand yuan.]
What's this?
Case solved?
That fast?
It was barely a day, and the case was solved already; that was some serious efficiency.
After hearing the system's prompt, Fang Hao first froze for a bit, and then delight surfaced in his heart.
This was good news.
The case was solved, the criminal caught, and the perpetrator would not go unpunished.
Who wouldn't be happy that a fishing trip contributed to solving a police case?
Moreover, he had received the title of Good Citizen and a cash reward of thirty thousand yuan.
The title of Good Citizen, he didn't care for.
But the thirty thousand yuan in cash, now that was something to savor.
As someone who was broke, suddenly getting a reward of thirty thousand yuan was thrilling.
Now this was a real reward.
He only had a few hundred yuan left in his account.
He had been worried about how he was going to make it through the month.
At the beginning of the month, he had over five thousand, but his recent fishing expenses had left him with just a few hundred.
Broke as a joke.
Now with this thirty thousand yuan reward, he wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of the month.
Additionally, he could even buy some gear at the fishing store afterward.
It couldn't be helped.
He was a newbie streamer before, not popular, and even with viewers giving gifts, earning money was just enough to get by each month, maybe three to five thousand, just enough to live on.
It was only now that his popularity had suddenly spiked, and perhaps the days ahead might change.
Fang Hao hadn't checked the backend and wasn't aware of how many gifts he'd received from the previous night's livestream.
If he did, he'd be in for a shock...
His income would shatter his expectations.
After deducting the platform's cut, he could pocket sixty-seven thousand from the previous night's livestream alone!
And that was just yesterday's.
Today's livestream was far more popular than yesterday's, with even more people sending gifts.
So today's gift revenue could only be higher than yesterday's.
"What's the host smiling about?"
The viewers seemed to notice Fang Hao smiling and grew curious.
They didn't know the reason for Fang Hao's smile.
"It's not because he failed to catch a fish and went mad from the frustration, is it?"
"No way."
"It's not the first time the host failed to catch a fish."
"Haha, oh, that poor pig heart laced with amomum."
"But the host started smiling all of a sudden, there must be some good news, right?"
"Could it be that someone confessed their love to him?"
"Confessed their love? That's even less likely."
The viewers were all speculating about what made Fang Hao so happy.
But despite their guessing, none of them got it right.
Suddenly.
"Wow, did you see that? Binjiang News just released the latest news, saying the case has been solved and the criminal caught!"
In this information era, even the slightest news spread instantly.
The police had just solved the case and apprehended the criminal.
And immediately afterward, the news broke.
Netizens noticed the news and instantly focused on it.
Given the high profile of this double homicide, there were indeed many who were following it.
As soon as there were updates, they were the first to know.
"What?"
"The case is solved?"
"How could it be so fast?"
The viewers were all surprised after seeing a comment posted by one of the netizens!
"The news says the police were able to crack a major murder case with the assistance of a concerned citizen and catch the criminal."
"Concerned citizen? Are they talking about the host?"
"It kind of sounds like it, but then again, not quite."
"The host just fished up two bodies, so what does that have to do with solving the case?"
"That's a big deal, though. If the host hadn't fished up those two bodies, how would the case have been discovered? How would the criminal have been caught?"
"So I think... in catching the criminal, the host played the greatest role!"
Ding ding ding.
While the viewers were busy debating, Fang Hao's phone rang.
His phone's ringing brought Fang Hao's attention back.
The caller was Lin Wendong.
Fang Hao answered the call.
"Hello, Officer Lin."
"Hello, Fang Hao."
"I'm calling specifically to apologize and to thank you."
Apologize?
Fang Hao was puzzled.
Where did this apology start?
"Officer Lin, what's this apology about?"
"I'm very sorry. You helped us out so much, and I still suspected that you might be the criminal," Lin Wendong explained the reason for his apology, that he had been suspecting Fang Hao of being the criminal.
So that was it.
Fang Hao was just wondering what it was about; turns out it was this matter.
As an experienced detective, it was normal for him to be suspicious of Fang Hao.
After all, even if it wasn't for Fang Hao finding those two bodies, he would suspect himself.
There can't be such coincidence.
The fact that he was suspected showed the man's professionalism, leaving no stone unturned.
"It's okay, Officer Lin."
"You were just trying to catch the criminal."
Fang Hao didn't blame Lin Wendong.
He really was a good cop.
This evening, when he handed over the murder weapon clue to Lin Wendong, he could see the bloodshot eyes of the man, proving a sleepless night.
"Also, I want to say thank you."
"The case was solved so quickly, thanks to you."
"If you hadn't fished up the second body, we wouldn't have had so many clues. If it wasn't for the murder weapon you helped us find, the criminal wouldn't have been caught so quickly."
Lin Wendong was very clear that the main reason the case was solved so rapidly was because of Fang Hao.
