Chapter Seventy-One: Tales of the Island
When Xiaolong continued, I felt that my levitation power had decreased, it was about two feet above the ground before, and it slowly dropped to about one foot, it seems that the power of this yellow fruit and the black fruit last for a different time.
"The old man indulged Guo Shao's life of a sensual dog and horse, in fact, it was to create a false impression to the outside world, he wanted the outside world to divert its attention and prevent the outside world from noticing Guo Shao, his real purpose was to ask Guo Shao to investigate the mysterious island, so as to verify the authenticity of the legend.
So in the second year after he had lung surgery, the old man asked Guo Shao to go to Japan, and the legend about the island came from Japan, and after the old man also sent someone to do a lot of preparatory work, Guo Shao went on the road and personally took over the investigation. ”
In fact, the old man also knew that Guo Shao was useless, but in addition to his own biological son, he couldn't choose to trust outsiders, especially after so many years in business, he had offended many people, these people had a certain amount of energy, if they knew that he was seriously ill, those people would definitely spare no effort to deal with him and the company, so he was very low-key and secretive about investigating the island. ”
In order to make Guo Shao's investigation go smoothly, the old man also arranged a lot of elites for Guo Shao, including former FBL retirees, senior bosses of the three-person group, and elite bodyguard teams, etc., these people gave Guo Shao a lot of help in the operation, and Xiao Zhu and I also went to Japan as Guo Shao's personal bodyguards at that time. ”
Xiaolong's body is recovering well, but his water is drunk quickly, and it doesn't take long for him to drink up two bottles of water, but our attention is not on this, but in his story.
"The old man has a good friend in Japan, Kusangki, he is a retired old man, and he is in charge of the whole investigation, and after a detailed and thorough investigation by his subordinates, they succeeded in finding the initiator of spreading the legend of the island, but the guy is very stubborn, and he said that he can give them clues, but only if they pay for it. After Guo Shao paid according to the amount he requested, the guy finally told the origin of the legend, it turned out that he also heard the legend from a farmer in Hokkaido, and he didn't know if it was true or not, and then Guo Shao took us to Hokkaido and found the old man. ”
The old man was very bold, he told the ins and outs of the incident, it turned out that he also heard from others, but this person lived in seclusion in the mountains somewhere in Hokkaido, and he had a strange temper, and he would not easily meet people, unless he contacted him personally through the old man, Guo Shao gave the old man some money and let him run hard, so the old man drove away excitedly. ”
Guo Shao also sent someone to follow the old man to see where the man was hiding, but the person who followed him arrived at Xiaotengu Mountain, but he couldn't find any trace of the old man, everyone thought that the old man must have slipped away, who knew that the old man actually drove back the next day, he brought good news, the man promised to give Guo Shao valuable clues, but the premise was to prepare enough money. Guo Shao reassured him that the money was enough, and it depended on whether his clues were worth the price. ”
So the old man ran back and forth a few more times, and after repeated negotiations, the mysterious man finally agreed to meet and negotiate, and they agreed to meet in the inner room of an izakaya in Hokkaido, and the result was a surprise when they met, the guy came in the middle of the night and did not say anything, and he also wore a ghost mask on his face, I remember that it snowed heavily that night, and the snow was very heavy, and there were basically no pedestrians on the road. The masked man gets straight to the point, he has four important objects related to the island, through which we can reach the island and obtain the legendary mysterious fruit. ”
"What are the four objects?"
Su Mei couldn't help but ask, I was also a little urgent, after all, Xiaolong's speech speed was a little slow, and he was a little angry to listen to.
The masked man said that the four objects he bought with his life, and each of them was very important, of course, he also said that these four objects can be retailed or packaged and sold, but the price is different, if you sell one piece, it is 30 million, if you want it together, then he only collects 80 million, and he wants US dollars, not Japanese yen. ”
"Ouch, 80 million US dollars, that's almost equal to 500 million yuan! That guy is really open!" Su Mei couldn't help but be surprised.
"What the hell is that, and how did he have the audacity to offer such a high price?" I asked.
Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "At that time, we were all very funny, we all thought that the masked man was bragging, and the scene on the spot was very embarrassing, everyone didn't open their mouths, they just laughed quietly." The masked man was a little impatient, and reached out to open one of the boxes, and inside was a black bracelet inlaid with colored gemstones! The masked man pointed to the bracelet and said, "This treasure was brought from the island, don't look at it as a bracelet, in fact, it has other functions, of course, these effects can only be manifested on the island, and it is useless outside." “
Guo Shao didn't believe it at the time, after all, he wanted to cheat tens of millions of dollars by relying on such a bracelet, and this method was too clumsy, so he called the old man and wanted to ask the old man's opinion, but he didn't expect the old man to be very excited after hearing it, he sent someone to send a picture and asked if the bracelet was the same as the picture, so the two compared, and the picture sent by the old man was also a bracelet, and it was exactly the same as the mask man! “
"Tens of millions of dollars, just say it, turn it!"
Xiaolong looked melancholy, and then sighed again: "The world of rich people is really cool, we mortals can't earn money in a few lifetimes, and people make it all at once, at that time, we all advised Guo Shao to calm down, at least find someone to identify the authenticity, but the masked man sneered, who is qualified to identify this in this world?" After saying this, the masked man took out his computer again, and after verifying that the bank had arrived, he showed the things one by one, it turned out that the four things were bracelets, a broken map, a page of handwritten coordinate location paper, and a hand-drawn picture book, on which a lot of strange fruits and plants were depicted, and there were detailed text explanations under the fruits, but they were all in Japanese characters. ”
Hearing him say this, I thought of the picture book full of plants in the wooden house, and thought of the words that Ouyang said to me, I guess the masked man was one of the people guarding the wooden house!
The mask man called Guo Shao to another room, and told him the detailed use of the four objects, and then the guy left, we didn't know how to use those things from beginning to end, and I haven't looked at the map until now, after Guo Shao got these objects, our group was ready to return to China, and the next morning after leaving, Japanese TV reported a strange news, saying that there was a homicide in Little Tengu Mountain, and the victim was Mr. Teng Ye, who had lived in the mountains for a long time, Teng Ye had no children and no daughters, and had lived in Little Tengu Mountain for many years, but he was killed in the bedroom, according to news reports, the murderer was estimated to be killed for money, because the scene was turned into a mess. ”
"At the time, we all suspected that it was the old guy who met that day to trade, and now that he has been killed, it means that there is another group of forces looking for the island as well! So we hurried back to England, show the objects at hand to the old man, so many years, that day I saw the old man himself for the first time, he smiled very kindly, a bit like my dead grandfather, the old man and we had a brief chat, and then hurriedly took Guo Shao to the secret room, we don't know what they talked in it, they talked in it for more than two hours, Guo Shao came out with an excited face, it is estimated that the old man told him a lot of good news. ”
"Two months later, we took the Poseidon passenger ship to depart, that is, we had an accident on this passenger ship, we didn't know Guo Shao's thoughts, at that time he also told us, take us out for a vacation abroad to relax, we even believe it, in fact, we can't believe it, Guo Shao brought a lot of beautiful women with him, Tao Tao is one of them, those beauties said that some are models, some are still third-tier stars, there are so many beauties with us, we are all very happy, beauty, who doesn't love it?"
At this, a smile spread across Xiaolong's face.
Su Mei glanced at him contemptuously, then looked at me with a bright smile on my face, and scolded sarcastically: "You stinky men, your feet will be soft when you see beautiful women!
Xiaolong smiled, and then continued to speak, unconsciously, my levitation power disappeared, and the whole person completely landed, lasting about two hours, compared to the black fruit power is more durable. But now this doesn't matter, what matters is the secret in Xiaolong's mouth!
