Chapter 9: The Incomprehensible Badge
In a real sense, when I came to Crescent Island, there were no real cases, including the purge of the owner of the chess and card room, which was just a rumor, and no one came forward to confirm this matter, let alone any official conclusion.
But the mysterious aura emanating from the island can be smelled even from a distance, let alone for these battle-hardened Beiting detectives. Chen Tianyu is soberly aware that this seemingly calm island may only be in a state of dynamic equilibrium temporarily, and this state is obviously extremely unstable, and it is unlikely to last long. As for what will eventually ignite the powder keg, it is impossible to speculate at all.
The only thing everyone can do is to wait quietly, and if possible, they don't dare to break this balance easily, and then cause an avalanche-like chain reaction, and the consequences are unimaginable.
And Li Yiting still didn't understand one thing at this time, when he rescued the black-faced man at the iron gate that day, there was a rather distinctive ornament in the pool of blood that fell into the pool of blood, but he couldn't determine who the owner of this ornament was from the perpetrator or the black-faced man himself?
At that time, when he and Wan Yongkun left the hospital, the black-faced man had just passed the dangerous period, and it was impossible to ask questions, and they didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they quietly left the hospital after making sure that the person was alive, and then left the island to avoid suspicion.
He pulled the badge out of the inner pocket of his jacket and examined it carefully. The surface of the badge has been simply treated, the blood stains have long disappeared, for the street fighting, in the end there was no fatality, these blood is basically worthless, not to mention that the blood is still mixed, but the design of this badge is unpredictable, and it seems that there are some secrets hidden.
The diameter of the whole badge is no more than 2, it is a jagged oval, the material is not gold or silver, and the background of the front of the badge is a blue sky and white sun pattern, which at first glance will think it is an ordinary souvenir. But a souvenir that appeared in a pool of blood was still suspicious, not to mention that there seemed to be a faint snake in the center of the background pattern, he changed several angles to observe, and then looked at the sun's rays, and finally saw that this pattern was indeed a king cobra emblem with a letter spitting letters, and there was a small number engraved on the back: 088121160309.
This is not difficult to guess, probably a code, and apparently also contains time, this person should have received this badge around March 9 last year, but only from the material and weight of the jewelry, it is an absolute cheap product, it is unlikely to be a symbol of high-level status, but it is somewhat like the identity of a small minion, and it is more likely to come from the two perpetrators.
After confirming that it is a unique badge, the top priority is to find an insider to solve the doubts, and the first choice is, of course, Boss Jin.
To Li Yiting's surprise, Boss Jin was almost completely clueless, and could even be said to be confused, and resolutely claimed that he had never seen such a badge, but if there was anything like that, there were so many souvenir stalls on Whampoa Street.
Li Yiting was a little disappointed, if this was really just a souvenir, then it would be a bit self-inflicted. But with his years of experience in solving crimes, it is unlikely that this is such an ordinary artifact, at least in a rather special location.
In order to confirm his judgment, he specially instructed Wan Yongkun to go to Huangpu Street again to search for a map and carefully compare, sure enough, there is no such cleverly designed and coded cheap jewelry, and such fine production is carried out on low-cost items, either the head is watered, or there is a special purpose.
Li Yiting put the things back into his pocket and didn't think about it deliberately, at present, this is just an inconsequential clue, and it will naturally come in handy when it is critical.
Everyone stayed on Crescent Island for another ten days, and everything was still surprisingly calm. During this period, Wan Yongkun has passed the assessment of subject 1 as he wished, and under the careful guidance of Liu Zichen, he successfully completed the computer-based test with a score of 96 points beyond expectations, and his confidence was immediately doubled. For the actual operation of the vehicle, he has a higher understanding than anyone else, and it is definitely not a problem to pass the assessment, so it is only a matter of time to get a driver's license, however, he has no clue about the task he shoulders, the main reason is that he has too little time to stay in the driving school, and Chen Tianyu also specially explained, everything is carried out in the most normal and least noticeable way, and there is no need to rush. Now we can only hope for the next stage, when the opportunities will naturally increase greatly, the second subject is pile reversal and road operation, which is considered a difficult assessment, and many people who want to take the exam will inevitably go.
Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue are together, most of the time in the university town wandering, because the environment there is indeed fragrant and pleasant, full of book aroma, the crowd in the university town is also mainly teachers and students, the happiest thing is that the library here is actually open to the outside world for free, almost every university is no exception in the central hub of the university town There is also a rather prosperous business district, where shopping malls, food streets, clothing cities, Cafes and more are all available, which is very much in line with the two of them, and there are two subway platforms, and it only takes half an hour to reach the city center, which is a great place to go.
Deng Qianwei, who I met by chance when I was hanging out last time, quickly became one of the three beauties, and naturally became their tour guide.
Li Yiting's favorite stroll is Huangpu Road, he and Chen Tianyu also went to the Huangpu Military Academy to visit, here is not so much a scenic spot, it is better to call it a history museum, not only retains the complete office space of the Republic of China, but also old-fashioned hot weapons, all kinds of clothing and all kinds of documents are quite precious for history, Li Yiting is actually not very interested, but Chen Tianyu has always been strolling, so that Li Yiting left the scenic spot to go out for an hour or two, Chen Tianyu slowly dangled out of the military academy gate.
Li Yiting frowned and said, "Such a small place, you can visit for so long, admire!"
Chen Tianyu said with a smile: "I read it carefully word by word, of course, it takes enough time." If you look at history, you will truly understand what our group of people are pursuing," he thought.
Li Yiting had to nod in agreement: "This is true, but I still don't have much patience, why don't you explain it to me?"
Chen Tianyu shook his head: "There is no need to explain, you know better than anyone else what you have discovered, right?"
Li Yiting showed a rare loss and sighed: "I didn't find anything, everything is as usual, and it's strange and strange." ”
A strange smile suddenly flashed in Chen Tianyu's eyes, he thought for a moment, and then said, "Do you still remember, I have a trick called Divine Cat Shadow?"
Li Yiting smiled bitterly: "Then how can I not remember, I have never been able to learn something that is naturally impressive." ”
Chen Tianyu laughed: "It's actually hypnotism." Back then, when I was living in the countryside, I discovered that once a cat's eyes appeared in an ethereal state, the person who saw its eyes would unconsciously enter a hypnotic state, but to a slightly different extent, and then I realized this strange method. ”
Li Yiting nodded: "You told me about this, but what is the purpose of saying this now?"
Chen Tianyu smiled mysteriously: "I suddenly want to test its power." ”
Li Yiting and the two continued to walk slowly, and they found a small mobile environmental protection toilet on the side of the road, so the two of them urgently walked into the two small black houses.
Half an hour passed, and neither of them came out. Soon there was a long queue at the door, and a group of people who were also anxious to eat melons waited eagerly to open the door, but the two doors seemed to be welded, and there was no movement. Finally, someone came up and knocked on the door, but there was no response, and a man became anxious and began to bang on the door hard, but it still didn't work.
At this moment, a tall young man slowly walked out from a corner, his eyes were determined but he also glanced here a few times, and after about ten minutes, he gently patted the dust on his suit, walked around the wall of the mobile bathroom, and walked to the window at the back.
He looked inside, and was a little surprised, and looked through the gap in the blind, and it was empty, and he was about to leave, when the blinds suddenly opened, and then he saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling, and these eyes could speak!
"Friend, in broad daylight, peeping will lead to the eye of a needle. ”
Of course, it was impossible for the eyes to speak, and the person who spoke stood behind the blinds, and his voice was not loud, but it made the young man a little stunned. These eyes were very deep and clear, as if they could see to the end at a glance, and the sound seemed to come from the depths of the eyes, so that he could not move away, and strangely, he actually had a desire to justify, but did not open his mouth, but showed guilt in his eyes.
As if frozen, he heard another call.
"Who are you and why are you here?" the voice became clearer.
The young man said unconsciously: "I am Kuang" He suddenly cleared up in an instant, his heart was alarmed, and a light shot out of his eyes, and he came back to his senses.
But at this time, two people had already opened the window and jumped out, one left and one right sandwiched him in the middle, these were two middle-aged people with sharp figures, who were looking at him coldly at this time.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?" the young man said in a trembling voice.
Chen Tianyu said lightly: "This should be what we asked you, you have been following us all day, is it necessary to give us an explanation?"
The young man muttered, "You must be mistaken, I just want to go to the toilet." ”
Li Yiting said coldly: "If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who sent me the note last time." He continued, "Who are you, why are you so secretive, and what is your ulterior motive?"
The young man shook his head and said nothing, this unsmiling person actually showed a smile for the first time: "The two of you are really interesting, it is really interesting to meet me by the toilet." Why don't we find a better place to sit and talk about it?"
He looked at Li Yiting with an inquiring eye, waiting for his reply.
Chen Tianyu bowed: "It's really not suitable for chatting here, the smell makes people sick to their stomachs." ”
The young man nodded: "I'll take you to a place where it's quiet and suitable for a long conversation." ”
The three of them came to a café called "Biyue Xuan" not far away and sat in the most remote place at the corner.
The young man no longer kept a straight face, but ordered coffee for the two of them with enthusiasm and care, and they did not speak again until the coffee was served.
Then, the young man took the initiative to say: "My name is Kuang Shuo, and the locals generally call me Kuangshi Robot." ”
Li Yiting couldn't help laughing: "Queungshi robot? He took a sip of coffee and suddenly said, "My number is 8175, I wonder if the person next to me has any number?"
Kuang Shuo nodded calmly and said, "Of course, this number 8251." ”
Li Yiting said narrowly: "Interesting, you obviously know that there are more than these two of us." What are their numbers?"
Kuang Suo said: "The young guy who is often with you is numbered 8176 and there is a beautiful woman who is about the same age as me, number 8252, and the beautiful woman who is younger than me, number 8253." He blew out a light breath and blew the smoke off the coffee cup, "Actually, this is just a special way of remembering me, nothing unusual." ”
Li Yiting said slowly: "There is nothing unusual about numbered memory, but I have only landed on the island for the second time, but you can recognize me at a glance, this is not an ordinary unusual." ”
Chen Tianyu said on the side: "Come to think of it, your memory is not your only talent. ”
Kuang Suo said quite proudly: "That's natural, as long as anyone is looked at by me, no matter how you disguise yourself, in my eyes you are the same person, and you will never go wrong." ”
Li Yiting was surprised: "How did this happen? It sounds a little incredible."
"Only those who are gifted can do that. Chen Tianyu was obviously not so surprised, there were not a few strange folk people he had seen.
Kuang Shuo's head: "Most of them are talents, and you can exercise regularly on weekdays." ”
Li Yiting didn't ask any more questions, but asked a question: "You haven't told us yet, why are you tracking us, and do these numbers have any special meaning?"
Kuang Suo did not hide it: "In fact, everyone who goes to the island, I will keep them all in my mind, and I don't deliberately follow you." It's just that I found that the five of you are more special, and if I guessed correctly, you will definitely come to the island more than just tourism, at least this time you will not come to the island to play. ”
He whispered, "You're probably here to investigate something, right?" After speaking, he stopped talking, but took his coffee and drank it.
Chen Tianyu sighed: "Actually, the first time I landed on the island, I noticed that there seemed to be a pair of eyes observing us for a moment, and it was the same just now, but this was just my intuition. ”
Li Yiting realized: "No wonder you let us leave the island in a hurry"
Chen Tianyu nodded: "That feeling is very strange, but I can't be sure of the reason, I didn't expect it to be you, a stinky boy, hiding in the dark and snooping."
Kuang Suo raised his head and interrupted him: "I'm not snooping, I have to write down everyone who goes to the island, and pay attention to your every move." ”
Li Yiting said strangely: "Why is this?" His head was a little unable to turn at this time, what is going on with this person, does he have a quirk?
"There are several big things that happen every year on Crescent Island, and I can't do anything about it, but I can record these things. Kuang Shuo said lightly.
Li Yiting understood a little, and he immediately asked, "What does 8175 mean?"
"It's simple. This number means that this is the 8th important thing that has happened in the 8th year that I have been in Crescent Island, and you are the 175th person in this matter. ”
Li Yiting and Chen Tianyu couldn't help but look at each other.
