In the trailer was a scale that could weigh the gigantic animal. It was an unprecedented catch and would reach all the headlines. Mark knew it. It turned out that he weighed over 200 kilos. A record that would stand for several years. But then the catfish opened its huge snout…
Mark inspected the mouth of the gigantic animal and immediately felt chills all over his body. The catfish’s mouth seemed to glow. There were reflections of gold, red, silver and violet. And when the sun came up, the brightness only intensified. “Come and see. Something incredible is happening.”
All the passers-by and especially the police immediately approached. The huge fish’s mouth shone like never before. It was filled with hundreds of tiny stones that looked like diamonds, but also reflected the sunlight in a beautiful rainbow of colors. “Wait, what’s that?” , one of the officers asked.
The catfish not only had a mouth that seemed to shine as if it were made of diamonds. The mouth was really full of diamonds Mark lifted the fish’s huge tongue and under it they found no less than 10 sparkling diamonds. The minerals were the size of a fist. Everyone was shocked, but the officers were looking at each other, nodding…
“We know where these diamonds come from ,” one of the officers mentioned. “After all, we are not here by chance. For days we have been patrolling these waters. In fact, these diamonds are from the National Museum. They have a commercial value of about $20 million and are part of a larger theft.” “But how had it gotten to these fish?” Mark asked.
“Thanks to some sources, we learned that these thieves had thrown all the loot into the lake. However, until that moment we had not found any trace of the loot of the criminals in question. The fish must have accidentally seen the shiny stones and picked them up with your mouth. But how to find the rest? And most importantly, thieves…”
“I don’t have a plan for that,” Mark said. He reached over to the dashboard of his car and grabbed a small device. He centered it and placed it on the catfish’s back. “It’s a vibration sensor. It detects vibrations in the water and sends them to my car’s computer.” “But how can this help us?” the officer asked. The sensor was very powerful and detected vibrations all over the lake. When the thieves returned to dump the rest of the loot, the sensor would notice the vibration. This small device would then report the exact location of the thieves. And with any luck, Mark and the agents could stop them before they got away. A good plan that they put into action immediately.
