Chapter 4 An Inexplicable Man
There are few people on this road who do not know him.
This is a young man in a suit and leather shoes every day, shining leather shoes, wearing a black felt hat, regardless of cold or summer, he is about just in his early thirties, and his appearance is not very distinctive, but no one has ever seen his smile, 365 days a year, his expression is the same mold - stiff and cold.
His name is Kuang Suo, and his greatest characteristic is his surprising way of behaving.
Kuang Suo likes to go to shopping malls, like to run hotels, like to go in and out of seafood restaurants, he is neither to buy nor to eat, so what is he going to do?
One day, a waiter in the mall is suspected of taking an object without permission, so soon the boss will find a young man of medium stature in a suit and leather shoes, tell her in detail how many things are here, where they are placed, whether they are missing now, whether they belong to the guards and other details, and then walk away.
Leaving the waiter dumbfounded, because the man did speak meticulously.
Therefore, people gave the nickname "Queungshi Robot".
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Two strangers came to the Crescent Island ferry today, one in his forties and fifties in a melon-skin hat, goatee, and black fur coat, and a slightly younger young man with long shawl hair, a brown scarf, and a pair of brown glasses.
They didn't speak to each other, and when they got off the ferry, they walked to the fork in the road, which was the Huangpu Road to the scenic spot Huangpu Military Academy, and it was obvious that these were two tourists.
There is a small street in front of the Whampoa Military Academy, which is specialized in selling souvenirs, the length of the street is only more than 100 meters, there are more than 80 souvenir stalls alone, I don't know how they squeezed in, there are also those who specialize in writing and painting birds and beasts, selling children's toys, those who have prizes for archery and guns, and those who play gyroscopic yo-yo, which can be described as dazzling. There is also a company that specializes in selling models, there are **** tanks, aircraft, artillery, warships, glittering, insiders also know that there is an additional special item sold here - absolutely authentic black steel machetes. Of course, this product will never be put out in public, otherwise it will inevitably cause trouble.
The two tourists were standing at the model stall at this time, the young man's eyes were excited, and he seemed to be somewhat interested in these things, but the middle-aged man was indifferent, but he also took a closer look.
After a long time, the middle-aged man said loudly: "These things are all for the decoration of the house, what are you doing so energetically? "He's clearly here for another purpose.
The young man seemed to come back to his senses and hummed softly.
Out of the voice, we learned that this was actually Beiting detectives Li Yiting and Wan Yongkun in disguise, last time Chen Tianyu ordered everyone to close the team, but several people did not really leave, but decisively refunded the ticket and stopped going north. Their instincts tell them that the island must be hiding secrets. It's not difficult to go north, and if you miss an interesting case, you really can't get it.
Crescent Island seems to lack nothing but the police. Then maybe there is a shortage of detectives, Chen Tianyu joked.
Because Li Yiting saved someone on the island by chance last time, he had to dress up in disguise just in case, and try not to be too eye-catching. It just so happened that they heard a few locals chatting on the ferry, and learned that the machetes in the entire Crescent Moon Island actually came from the same place, so the first stop of their trip was decided.
The first stop to go to the scenic spot is very reasonable, and there may be clues to find, why not? Besides, on the first day of landing on the island, the two did not really want to know such an inside story, familiar with the environment, and now covert action is the first priority.
So at this time, they stood here leisurely and with their hands behind their backs, but in order to act more realistically, in order not to reveal their secrets, they still grinded for a long time, and finally saw that the boss had no intention of soliciting business, so they had no choice but to decide to take the initiative.
Wan Yongkun deliberately picked up a bulky model of a warship and asked the salesman: "Boss, how much is this?"
The salesman glanced at him coldly: "2000 yuan." ”
Wan Yongkun secretly smacked his tongue, what an expensive thing! He bargained: "Can it be cheaper? 800 yuan or not?"
The salesman actually reached over and snatched the model away, without even looking at them. Wan Yongkun suddenly felt a rush of anger in his heart: "What do you mean?" He glared at the salesman, who was still expressionless.
Li Yiting patted Wan Yongkun on the shoulder and sighed: "How old are you, what are you doing with these things?
Wan Yongkun trembled cooperatively, shrunk his head and said, "Yes, yes...... Big brother, if you don't say it, I almost forgot to get down to business. ”
The salesperson still didn't hear it, reclining on a plastic chair motionless.
Wan Yongkun was helpless, he squeezed his eyes at the salesman, and made a chopping gesture with the palm of his hand, and the salesman finally spoke: "How many pieces?"
Li Yiting stretched out a finger, he saw that this person's enthusiasm seemed to start to land again, and popped out the second finger, he didn't know the price yet, and he wouldn't be wronged when he waited.
The salesman was still not enthusiastic, but said lightly: "It's still 2,000 yuan." He then added: "No bargaining. The faces of the two were a little green, but when it came to this, it would be embarrassing if they didn't pay out of their pockets, Li Yiting gave Wan Yongkun a look, and Wan Yongkun reluctantly took out a stack of RMB from his wallet.
The salesman took it slowly, pinched it casually, and didn't even order it, so he put it in his pocket, and then beckoned them to go in. The two of them were not good at making a sound, but they followed into this place that was a bit like a warehouse, and the salesman waved his hand to say that they were waiting downstairs, and they went upstairs to get it; after a while, there were two more long objects tied with newspapers in their hands, Wan Yongkun was about to open and inspect the goods, and the salesman said coldly: "Take it back and look at it, we are a century-old store, and we are not allowed to inspect the goods on the spot." ”
The two felt that this was simply a forced buying and selling, but the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, and they swallowed it back in a daze.
The two objects had some weight to start with, and it seemed that the things would not be too fake, so the two nodded in understanding.
The salesman turned and walked away, ignoring them, and it seemed that such transactions were going on many times a day, and that the individual had long since become numb.
Wan Yongkun walked back behind Li Yiting with his things, in fact, he didn't know where to go next, but he definitely couldn't enter the scenic spot, and if he went in with two machetes, he might really become a terrorist.
Besides, there were obviously security machines and high-definition cameras at the entrance of the attraction, and he muttered to himself, what kind of place is this? At least it must not be peaceful.
Li Yiting didn't say anything, just buried his head and walked back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"8h175, please stay. The two had just walked out of the store not far away, and a hoarse and strange voice suddenly came from the side, Wan Yongkun looked left and right in surprise, only to find that there was a guy in a suit and leather shoes standing next to him.
"Are you calling me?" ...... something," Wan Yongkun frowned, his words tinged with anger.
This guy took off the black felt hat on his head, revealing a cold face that was quite handsome, and said lightly: "It's not called you." I'll call him ......," he pointed at Li Yiting.
Li Yiting turned around, he didn't understand what this person was about, but he actually came to the door, and just watched the changes: "Friend, do you have any advice?" He secretly looked at this uninvited guest, although the dress was quite eye-catching, but he was polite to speak, but he also looked like a normal person.
The man shook his head, handed over an object, and said lightly: "I don't have any advice, but someone asked me to bring you such a thing." ”
Li Yiting stretched out his hand to take it, and it was very light, like an uncommon bag.
By the time he looked up again, the strange creature had walked away without looking back, and he was about to raise his hand to beckon him back, but apparently in vain.
Wan Yongkun said with some curiosity: "What is it?"
Li Yiting stood stiff for a moment before he said, "Let's find a place to settle down." ”
He decided not to leave the island today, and if his instincts were right, the nights here were obviously more interesting and desirable.
The first priority was to find a hotel to stay in for one night.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
They found a small hotel on the side of Huangpu Road, the price is quite cheap, a night charges 80 yuan, a single room with a toilet, so-so passable.
But when they opened the bag, they couldn't help but regret it.
It turned out that there was only a small note two fingers wide in the bag, on which were written four words crookedly: Happy Hostel.
The two looked at each other, this person actually arranged their accommodation for tonight, could it be that they were exposed so quickly?
At this time, the room attendant came over, and Li Yiting hurriedly stopped her.
"Eldest sister, I would like to ask where the Happy Hostel is?......" In order to avoid thinking too much among his peers, he immediately added: "I have a friend who lives there, and we want to go over to visit." ”
There was a strange smile on the room attendant's face, as if he knew he was going to darken his expression.
"Right at the top of the mountain. ......" After she finished speaking, she lowered her head to clean up, and said: "What can I do in the past so early, at least until midnight......" She seemed to be talking to herself, Wan Yongkun hadn't understood it yet, but Li Yiting blushed and came to his senses.
He stopped talking, but stood quietly and watched the waiter clean up, but his thoughts had already flown far away.
Now, he at least needed to briefly judge whether the strange young man was friend or foe, but another thing was obvious, now there was at least one person on the island who had seen through the whereabouts and even the purpose of the trip, and sent a signal, but was this a warning or a hint?
Wan Yongkun said, "Brother Li, what now?" he couldn't help but ask when he saw the waiter walking out of the room with interest and helping to bring it.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. Li Yiting said lightly, "However, we may have to make some preparations...... Wan Yongkun nodded knowingly.
Li Yiting is still pondering another question at the moment, what does 8h175 mean, and he doesn't quite understand. Whose license plate number is the license plate number?...... There are still many questions, but it is definitely imperative to go to the Happy Hostel, otherwise why bother to come to the island.
