Chapter 36: The Survivors
Kuangsuo didn't expect this young man to really do what he said, and led them back from the beach without a loud voice, on the way, the young man didn't ask about the identities and names of the two of them, it seemed that it was not important at all, so Kuangsuo and the two felt that it was not suitable to ask each other's titles, anyway, their target was not this person, but the original author of the Sea Requiem - Mu Lian or Dongfang Yue.
Kuang Suo firmly believes that hearing the Sea Requiem on this remote island must be inextricably linked to those two key figures, as for why this lonely young man would sit alone by the beach and play, it is unknown, perhaps someone on this island taught him.
The biggest problem now is that the people of Beiting have not really seen the two composers who disappeared like air, and this case has been a bit confusing from the beginning, and it is also mixed with some anxiety about mysterious things, almost relying on a wave of spirit to go to sea with the ship, and the maritime department is also quite strange, as if they knew that they would get nothing, and let Beiting come to Hu.
As for the ins and outs of this matter, Kuang Suo has not actually figured out the key to it, could it be that most of the shipwrecks in the Dragon Triangle are so perfunctory? At least listen to the meaning of the deputy director, it seems that it is enough to go through the motions, and there is not much hope in all aspects, maybe the pressure from the higher departments is too great, and there are some luck in all aspects, so this time I pulled the newly established Beiting, known as the detective, to cushion the back.
If this is the case, the most pitiful thing is that the detectives of Beiting actually took it seriously, in fact, think about the bodies of the victims who are still frozen in the food storehouse, since they were stored in the warehouse, almost no one has mentioned them, and the number of shipwrecks in the Dragon Triangle can be seen-
If you often salvage dead people somewhere, or if you yourself are faced with the situation of dying at any time, it is not surprising to have such a mentality......
Kuang Shuo pondered these unfamiliar questions as he walked, but he did not dare to stop, for fear that the young man would be unhappy and leave them behind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
About half an hour later.
The three of them came to a low bungalow, Qu Yihui secretly calculated the direction of the circumference, this should be the south-southeast direction of Priland Island, at least far away from the bustling center of the east, the bungalow is surrounded by masson pines, so it is difficult to see the situation in the distance, let alone judge what is here.
There was only an extremely strong stench, which suddenly rushed into Kuangsuo's nose, which made him remember it deeply.
"The taste of salted dried fish ......" Qu Yihui saw his painful expression and hurriedly whispered in his ear.
Kuang Suo nodded helplessly, he had never seen the way to dry salted fish, nor had he smelled this naturally rotten fishy smell, but he remembered the words dried salted fish.
He asked tentatively, "What is this place?" and, as he expected, the young man did not even look back, let alone answer.
"The man you are looking for is inside, go in yourself...... I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. Before the young man's voice fell, his body had already turned around and left, and the two of them had no chance to stay, so in the blink of an eye, the man disappeared as if he had gotten into the grass.
Qu Yihui said a little unhappily: "How does this person feel that Gu Li is weird, could it be a trap here?" Jiudao ......" He suddenly became a little inexplicably worried.
Kuang Suo also frowned slightly, of course he was a little apprehensive, but as far as he knew, this sea requiem song can be described as unique, and the time to create it will not exceed two months, and the composer is not a well-known person, the most important thing is the half-pulled remnant, to say that it has nothing to do with Mu Lian and Dongfang Yue, it would be too unbelievable.
No way! He immediately strengthened his thoughts.
The two of them were actually some distance away from the low wooden hut now, so he planned to communicate briefly with Qu Yihui first.
"Captain Qu, what do you say is the purpose of our voyage this time?" he asked euphemistically.
Qu Yihui was stunned for a moment, not understanding his true intentions, but he still replied truthfully: "The order we received is relatively simple, that is, to assist Beiting to investigate the Dragon Triangle, and if possible, to participate in some rescue work." ”
Kuang Suo asked knowingly: "Do you know who to rescue?"
Qu Yihui shook his head: "To be honest, we came in a hurry, and the main task we received was to assist you in your work, and we didn't know much about the details, and the top didn't seem to want us to know too much...... That's pretty much it, and you know that we are not the protagonists of this trip. He paused, "There is a rule in our business, and we generally don't bother with what we shouldn't know." ”
Kuang Suo finally understood, dare to love these guys are playing soy sauce, no wonder they are purely closed and entertaining themselves along the way, if it is not for the sudden storm that directly threatens the freighter, I am afraid that they would not bother to get out of the hatch.
"I'm just asking. Belch...... Or if you stay outside the house and help me watch the wind, I'll go in and meet this hidden figure." So it's good to have a countermeasure...... "He thought it through, in broad daylight, the main thing was to guard against some trap, and when the two of them were trapped, it would be difficult to help."
Qu Yihui agreed, both of them landed on the island for the first time, and they didn't know what would happen if they broke in rashly.
"Go ahead, I'll keep you informed of any movement outside. ”
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything seemed very quiet.
In the low bungalow sat a man leisurely, smoking a hookah with his back to the door, smoke rising from the top of his head, looking at the back, this was a rickety old man, as if his hair was almost white.
Kuang Suo was surprised in his heart, if it wasn't for the deliberate disguise, this person would definitely not be Mu Lian or Dongfang Yue, at least the two of them would not be this image or this age.
He reached out and pushed open the two small half-hidden wooden doors, and then knocked the door.
"Come in...... The door didn't close. The old man said these words vaguely accompanied by a violent cough, coughing so much that people had a feeling of worrying, hearing the familiar Chinese, Kuang Suo now realized that it seems that this so-called international rescue base is not entirely foreigners, there is still no shortage of Chinese residents, at least one day has already met two.
"I would like to ask the old gentleman, does Dr. Mu Lian live here?" he tried to be polite, but deliberately turned up the volume.
The old man barely looked back, and only said in a hoarse voice for a long time, "Who?"
"Dr. Mu Lian or Mr. Dongfang Yue. Kuang Shuo repeated loudly helplessly, perhaps the old man had some ears.
The old man finally turned his head slowly, tilted his head and squinted at Kuangshuo with a very strange look, as if he had seen a very ridiculous person, and that look revealed a clear mockery and narrowness.
Kuang Shuo's heart began to sink slowly, and he had an inexplicable sixth sense, it seemed that this time it was not only in vain, but it was likely that he had fallen into a bad deed.
"I'm in the store, and the only customers who come to me are to buy things, and I've never heard of a doctor or anything like that. "As expected, this time I was completely tricked.
"Sorry, went to the wrong door, bother to bother. He turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, the old man's hoarse voice came from behind him: "But I've heard of the name Mulian." ”
"Oh?" Kuang Suo, who was about to turn away, almost tripped over the threshold, "Excuse me, where is he?"
"Ahem...... "Ahem," the old man said unhurriedly, "Didn't you just leave, if I remember correctly, the name of the young man who introduced you just now is Mu Lian." ”
Kuang Suo and Qu Yihui seemed to have been struck by lightning, and they stood in place for a long time speechless. [.]
