117: Chapter 117 triggers a hidden keyword! [Subtle Influence]

Near dusk, the crew from the Xijiang Television Station program "asking politics in xijiang" arrived at the Yucheng Police Station.

Liao Jiancheng and Fang Yihong immediately went to greet them.

After the program head, Liu Hua, shook hands with them one by one, he glanced at the people in front of him and asked curiously, "Where is Yang Tian?"

Liao Jiancheng and Fang Yihong exchanged a look, wanting Fang Yihong to speak, but Fang Yihong immediately signaled to Luo Dichang beside him, letting Luo Dichang do the talking.

Luo Dichang had no choice but to respond sheepishly, "Director Liu, Yang Tian, Yang Tian has gone fishing!"

"Fishing??"

The other staff members behind Liu Hua were stunned, and their faces showed varying degrees of displeasure.

Station Head Ma had ordered them to come to Yu City for an interview today.

As a result, they arrived at the scene, and not only was the main subject not there, but, good grief, he had gone fishing?

Wasn't this disrespectful?

With this attitude, did he still expect the television station to speak well of him?

Seeing the expressions of the program crew, Liao Jiancheng and Fang Yihong felt that things were looking bad and thought about immediately having Luo Dichang call him back.

However, in the next second.

The program head, Liu Hua, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, the internet says Yang Tian is the Fishing Detective, and it truly lives up to its reputation. This is actually good; we will go directly to the riverside to film and conduct the interview right by the river."

His subordinates' gazes tightened.

"Director Liu, are you serious?"

"Of course! Interviewing by the river is not only grounded and relatable, but it can also create a lively atmosphere. By leveraging the 'Fishing Detective' gimmick, we can increase the video's appeal, thereby boosting likes and views—isn't that killing several birds with one stone?"

Hearing this, Fang Yihong and Liao Jiancheng looked at each other, dumbfounded.

This works too???

--

By the Yu Cheng River.

Accompanied by a "ding" sound, the system's voice rang out.

"Detected that the host's slacker attitude has influenced a beauty of Officer Zhang's status. Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden trait [Subtle Influence], gaining 500 salted fish points."

"Current progress: 1600 / 5000"

Triggered another hidden mechanism?

Yang Tian was a little excited.

So bringing girls along had such perks; wouldn't that mean he could bring more girls along??

Just then, Zhang Jingque lifted her rod, placed it on the support rack, and then picked up her phone to check the time.

18:20.

"Yang Tian, the television station staff have probably arrived at the station by now. Should we head back first?"

Yang Tian: "It's fine, let's fish for a bit longer. If there's anything, they'll call!"

"That makes sense!"

Zhang Jingque cast her hook back into the water.

"Ding! Successfully nipped Officer Zhang's active pursuit of progress in the bud. Congratulations to the host for gaining 50 salted fish points."

"Current progress: 1650 / 5000"

After the two continued fishing for over ten minutes, several official vehicles suddenly stopped on the road by the riverbank.

Zhang Jingque turned her head to look.

Liao Jiancheng, Fang Yihong, and a group of unfamiliar faces were walking towards them.

"They're here!" Zhang Jingque clicked her tongue.

Yang Tian turned to look.

Sure enough, the bureau chief and the station head were walking over majestically, leading the staff from Xijiang Television Station.

It instantly drew glances from the surrounding anglers.

When they saw the vests worn by the staff with the Xijiang Television Station logo, they were shocked!!

"They actually came??"

"Does the Fishing Detective have that much clout??"

"Holy cow! Can I get a cameo on camera?"

"Nice, nice, nice, nice! The grandmaster really has prestige!"

...

Liu Hua and the others walked up to Yang Tian.

Liao Jiancheng immediately began the introductions.

"Director Liu, this is our Yucheng County Public Security Bureau criminal investigation technical consultant, Yang Tian!"

"Huh??"

Fang Yihong looked at Liao Jiancheng, silently complaining to himself: "What about the Yucheng Police Station? It's only a few words, did you really have to omit it?"

Liao Jiancheng then introduced to Yang Tian: "This is the head of the Xijiang Television Station's 'asking politics in xijiang' program, Director Liu Hua!"

Liu Hua smiled and stepped forward to shake Yang Tian's hand.

"Hello, Yang Tian."

"Hello, Director Liu."

Director Liu said with a chuckle: "Your name is thunderous on the internet. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary—handsome, dashing, tall, and mighty. Not bad, very not bad!!"

"Thank you, Director Liu."

Just as Yang Tian finished speaking, Zhang Jingque suddenly shouted: "The float, the float sank!!"

Yang Tian immediately turned to raise the rod.

"Got one!"

"Got another one!"

"This skill, no one can top it!"

Liao Jiancheng and Fang Yihong were both a bit embarrassed.

He hadn't even finished speaking, why was he fishing again!

In the next second, Director Liu Hua suddenly shouted to the cameramen behind him: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and turn on the cameras! What a great shot!"

"Huh???"

Everyone was shocked again.

Liao Jiancheng and Fang Yihong were secretly laughing. They really didn't expect that even though Director Liu looked on in years, he was actually a man of character.

Several cameramen immediately turned on their cameras and began capturing the scene.

When Yang Tian pulled the fish ashore, Liu Hua even specifically asked Yang Tian to hold the fish and show it off in front of the camera.

"Okay, cut!"

Liu Hua had the cameramen stop.

"Find new camera angles; we are starting the official interview now. Host, go!"

The female host, who had been touching up her makeup, appeared in front of everyone in an office lady outfit. Liao Jiancheng recognized her at a glance.

She was the host of that viral "asking politics in xijiang" video.

This woman's words were sharp and hit directly at the pain points, giving the video a very strong emotional impact on the audience, which was one of the reasons why the video went viral.

Liao Jiancheng didn't expect that "asking politics in xijiang" would bring her back again.

He wondered if she would make things difficult for Yang Tian later!

Just as he was thinking this, the female host walked towards them.

"Where should I stand, Director Liu?"

"You sit next to Yang Tian. Yang Tian, you continue to fish, looking straight ahead." Liu Hua continued, "The three camera angles will be positioned to your and Yang Tian's front-left, front-right, and directly in front."

Once everything was ready.

Liu Hua shouted: "Action!"

All three cameras pressed the record button simultaneously.

The host picked up the microphone and asked Yang Tian the first question.

"Many netizens on Douyin affectionately call you the 'Fishing Detective'. May I ask, Officer Yang, do you feel that you live up to this title?"

Good grief!

Liao Jiancheng frowned.

The first question was already intense.

Wasn't this obviously mocking Yang Tian for fishing during work hours?

Fang Yihong looked at Liao Jiancheng with a strange expression, thinking to himself that this was not quite what Mayor Ye Xin had said!

Just as everyone was curious about how Yang Tian would answer, Yang Tian looked at the camera and slowly replied: "I suppose it matches!"

The female host asked again: "Could you elaborate?"

"Whenever I encounter difficulties with a case, I come here to fish and think. I don't know why, but as soon as I sit by the river, my mind immediately becomes clear, and the case is easily solved!"

The host was stunned and asked: "So, you aren't fishing for the sake of fishing; you are fishing for the sake of solving cases?"

"Of course!" Yang Tian pointed to the sun umbrella above his head and said, "Our leadership discovered this long ago, so they specifically prepared a sun umbrella for me!"

Liao Jiancheng, Fang Yihong, Zhang Jingque, and the others looked at Yang Tian in sudden realization.

"So that's it!"
