Chapter 294: Brave the Sunny Isles

The two of them came to a house made of tropical plants by the beach, and there were a lot of surfboards, paddles, and the like around the house! Sean and Theresa walked in and saw a clerk-like man in a beachsuit sitting behind a computer watching a movie! Sean reckons that he might be watching an action movie, or a super-blockbuster where two people can play an entire movie.

Sean came to his desk first and said, "We're going to rent a small boat." You're going to open it, right?". At the last point, he turned to Theresa. The long-legged girl nodded and said, "Of course!" In fact, Sean is not unable to drive, but as he said before, he is not a sailor, although he can also sail a boat, but he is not very proficient, plus he is lazy.

After the boss heard Sean finish speaking, he stretched out his hand and twisted the volume adjustment knob of the speaker a little smaller, and the plot in it may have reached the ** part, which can be heard from the shouts of "Oh! Fakkumi! Yes!", he looked up at Sean and said, "You still have to go to sea so late?" After that, he looked at Theresa next to him, grinned at Sean, and said, "Understood, fifty dollars...... Of course, I'm talking about the kind of two-person dinghy! If it's a medium-sized yacht, ......." Before he could finish his introduction, Sean directly waved his hand to interrupt him. He said, "The two-person dinghy suits us very well!

"Of course, if you put on your wings, you can almost fly!". The boss bragged as he looked at Sean. The latter understood. This is asking for money! Immediately gave the other party fifty yuan from his pocket. said: "Key!";

"Don't worry, man! I can't eat hot tofu if I'm in a hurry!hehe!". As he spoke, the boss took out a key from the drawer and walked out. said, "I'll take you there!". With that, he led Sean and Theresa out of the house, and then shouted to the side, "Robert, someone wants to rent a dinghy! Come back and help me take care of the house!" "Okay!". A voice rang out from the side of the campfire.

"Can you have a bonfire on this beach?". Sean asked. I say this because some beaches don't allow campfires; The boss led the two men forward and said, "But you need to apply in advance, only two campfires are allowed per night!

Speaking at the time, the boss of this action blockbuster has led them to the beach. Sean had seen a small pier that stretched thirty meters from the beach to the water. Presents a large inverted L-shape. There are a total of five boats tied to it, including three dinghies, and a medium-sized yacht. The other one looks like a fishing boat. It's just that there are no fishing tools on it. On the deck, it was converted into an open-air sea house! There were all tables, chairs, benches, and even a hammock tied to the ends of the hanger that used to be a fishing net! On a table there were many empty bottles and beer cans. It seems that there are often people "making waves" on it, and the boy day is really free! Sean's mind was a little off-track, pointing to the medium-sized yacht and saying, "How much does this cost?".

"Three-hundred-hour. How? Do you want it? I'm already very cheap here! I've got you 20% off!". The boss, apparently very good at business, opened his mouth and said, but Sean saw that he had misunderstood what he meant, and said, "No! you are mistaken, I am talking about how much it costs to buy a boat like this?"

"This new one costs about 1.2 million! I imported it from China! Authentic Made in China. If you want to buy it, I can contact you! Well, it only needs some tariffs! And made in China will definitely become the mainstream in the future. The appearance is not worse than the international first-line products! You know, the world-class brands like Princess and Riva are indeed of strong quality, but when you buy them, they need about 2.5 million yuan, which is more than twice as expensive, and the quality of Chinese products is not much worse, and the cost performance is not much worse! This boss is obviously a crazy person, or a shrewd businessman, and seeing that Sean has just had a little bit of intention, he began to talk about it unconsciously.

"Okay, you give me your contact information, I'll find you after I've thought about it!". Sean said, and when the boss heard this, he immediately took out a business card from his baggy beach pants, handed it over, and said, "No problem, don't forget to contact me after thinking about it, it's definitely worth the money!". Sean took it and looked at it and said, "Of course, Mr. Demi, how is our dinghy ready, will it be able to set sail?".

"Always ready!!" The boss handed Shaun a key and said, "Have a great evening!" and Shaun waved his hand, and then jumped from the dock with Theresa into the dinghy. The boss, named Demi, untied the rope from the stakes at the dock and threw it directly into the dinghy. said: "Now start the timer, I always have a fair price!"

Sean smiled and waved his hand at him, and gave the key to Theresa, this long-legged girl really didn't blow, lit the fire, pushed the horsepower lever slightly, and the dinghy slowly started to move, and gradually sailed away from the dock! Sean's cigar was thick and long, so he didn't finish smoking, so he proudly held the cigar and blew the sea breeze, sat in the co-pilot's seat, stretched his legs, and put it on the boat in front of the side.

The dinghy is rented to tourists, so under the windshield platform on the ship, there is a map of the nearby islands, Theresa looked at this picture, and said while driving the dinghy: "Take a look at the small islands around here with your amazing logical head, except for Sunshine Island, those two murderers may still be on that island!"

"Okay!". Sean still looked comfortable and proud, smoking a cigar while looking at the island. There are some cartoon meanings in this picture, and I think it is the brainchild of the shipowner named Demi. After all, it's a tour map. So that's understandable. However, the above picture is drawn in great detail. A section of the beach and a few nearby islands are depicted on it! Sunshine Isle is of course pictured. Right in the middle of the left side of the map, a little above the left, there is an island that is nearly half smaller than Sunny Isles. It's called Beach Island, and there's another island on the lower right side called Ocean Wave Island. From the map, this island should be about the same size as a beach island.

Sean was able to judge Theresa's problem just by glancing at it, these islands are about the same distance, if you want to say that it is possible, all of them are possible, and the coastline of this place is very long, and there are many docks. Fortunately, when Sean came out of the Barty couple's house not long ago, he had already seen some characteristics of the two guys with his footprint heat tracking skills, so he directly took out the phone and dialed Donovan's female detective, and the other party quickly picked it up and said, "Detective Sean?".

"Yes!". Sean said, "Are there any other islands in this place besides the three islands of sun, sand and waves?", and Donovan's voice came from the receiver, "These are the three islands nearby." Anything else is far away!", Sean said: "Then you can send someone to investigate the three islands, remember, the murderer is a two-person operation, so ask your people to inquire if there are two men together! If there is a camera on the dock, look at the surveillance footage." And also. During the period of the incident, we will also have to see if there are any large ships nearby, or ships from other places! As we have analyzed before, he may have delivered the goods directly at sea!".

"No problem, what else?". Donovan asked, and Sean said, "That's all for now!", and he put down the phone and said, "Let's hope we're lucky!".

As Sean and Theresa approached Sunshine Island in the dinghy, the dinghy with the word "Terminator" written on its hull slowed down. Sean then stood up, walked to the port side, and leaned on the railing. The old stone lighthouse in Sunshine Isle comes into view from the left. Sean reckoned with this because the poor watercolorists in the neighborhood often used it as a favorite subject. To the right of the lighthouse, down the coast, is a large billboard-sized road sign with the words: "Beware! Cable crossing! No trawling! No digging and fishing!"

Seeing this, Sean thought to himself, in this way, if the radicals are interested in cutting off the island's power supply and communication with the outside world, the authorities have already given them a little hint. On the other hand, to be fair, Sean speculates that Sunny Island also has its own emergency generator, cell phone, and radio communication equipment. This is a product of scientific and technological progress.

Either way, the Terminator glided through the narrow strait and into a small bay that looked like an artificial bay. It was not the supreme god of nature that made it look like this, but the engineering corps that liked to put the finishing touches on nature.

There are not many buildings around the bay, only a few tank-shaped warehouse-type buildings, perhaps left over from the militarization era.

Theresa turned her head to look at Sean and whispered, "I saw ...... before we went up";

"The signs? I see it, thank you. Sean said, sipping a cigar.

The dinghy made a 180-degree turn and began to sail towards the docks.

Theresa said as she sailed, "Is this an artificial harbor? ”;

Sean replied, "Yes." Looking at the style and the old and new Cheng dΓΉ, it is believed that it was dug by the army before the Spanish-American War, when the fort was built here. ”

The dinghy stopped, and Sean boarded the dock first, and Theresa threw the rope on. Sean tied up the boat again, and Theresa jumped up with him. So Sean and the two landed on this mysterious sunny island. There is wind and moonlight on the pier, so it looks very bright! It is also very cool. And there was a flock of ducks and the like, swaying around on the shore. Theresa saw the animals walking in a very dragging posture and said, "It's good to see that they don't have fangs, and they don't have blood-red eyes or anything." Hearing this, Sean laughed twice and said: "The devil in ordinary horror movies always shows his true face last!".

As depicted on the island map that Sean saw, Sunshine Island resembles a pork chop, or lamb chop, and the small bay at the tender end of the ribs looks like someone has taken a bite out of the meat. to continue to fulfill this unreliable metaphor.

Only one ship was tied to the pier. It was about ten meters long, with a small cabin, a searchlight, and an in-cabin engine. The name of the ship was "Grapefruit". Sean pointed to Theresa. said: "This painted ferry and the person who named the boat is really funny!";

Sean then noticed a wooden, faded sign that read, "Sunshine Isles Animal Disease Research Center!", and on the other side of the sign was a flagpole, on which Sean saw that the Star-Spangled Banner had only risen half a pole above the flagpole.

This place feels weird. Because it made Sean feel like he was on a heavily guarded island, because it didn't take long for an armed helicopter to circle around. Obviously, it is impossible for such aircraft to patrol the island without the permission of the government.

"What the is going on?". When Theresa saw this, she also complained: "Why didn't anyone tell us about this!".

"Maybe they're all normal!" said Sean, "and it says Animal Disease Research Center! That's where the Barty and Batty work!".

"We'd better ask!". Exception Sha said.

The two men followed the signs, and ten minutes later they met a group of people, all dressed in security uniforms. Sean noticed that they might all be from the Animal Disease Research Center, because the sign on their chest said it!

Sean flashed his ID at them and said, "Excuse me, we're the FBI, and we want to ask you something!" The gang looked at Sean's papers and stopped.

"Do you have patrol cars patrolling this island?" asked Sean.

Obviously. One of them didn't like to be asked, but replied, "Yes, we have patrol cars that patrol around the island." He looked at Sean and asked impatiently, "Any more questions?Mr. Detective?Madam?";

"Yes. Is it common for the employees of the Center for Disease Research to come to work on their own boats?", Sean asked.

It took two seconds for the guy to say, "During the time when the 'never leave' measure was strictly enforced. It is forbidden to do so. Now that we've eased restrictions a bit, some employees come to work on their own boats, mostly in the summer. ”;

"Do you know Mr. and Mrs. Barty?". Sean asked. The man nodded.

"And did you authorize the Barty couple to go to work on the boat?" asked Sean.

The security guard replied, "Mr. and Mrs. Batty are high-ranking employees and scientists of conscience, and as long as they are proficient in disinfection techniques and follow safety regulations and procedures, then we don't think there is anything wrong with them going to work on their own boat." ”;

"I see. Sean looked at him and said, "Have you ever thought that the Barty couple might use their boat to smuggle deadly microbes out of here?";

Hearing this, the man thought for a second or two, and then replied somewhat implicitly, saying, "This is a workplace, not a prison." Our main purpose is to prohibit unauthorized persons from entering the study center. We trust our own people. You can be sure that the background of all our employees has been checked by the federal government. The security guard said this, looked at his watch and said, "We still have to patrol, do you have any questions?";

"Yes, can you take us to see it?" Sean said.

"Oh well!". The security guard was obviously reluctant, and then ordered a few people next to him, "Zanetti come with me, and the rest will continue to patrol!"

Sean then followed the security guard and the guy named Zanetti and began to walk forward, and Sean noticed that they were wearing light blue uniforms. In fact, mainly because the guy who answered the question pinned a pistol with a sleeve.

As he walked, the security guard, who introduced himself as Tiger #Woods, said, "There has never been a breach of law and order in the history of the island. ”;

Sean asked this Mr. Woods, and said, "I see that your guards all seem to have guns in their holsters, and what kind of personal weapons are they equipped with?";

Woods replied, "It's a four- or five-caliber Colt automatic pistol issued by federal government troops." ”;

Sean turned his head to look at Theresa, who nodded, and then Sean said, "We are investigating the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Barty, of course, you know that, but we also think that the murder weapon was a point four or five caliber pistol. ”;

Theresa said, "We want to take stock of your weapons and test them for ballistics one by one. No problem!";

Mr. Tiger # Woods did not respond enthusiastically. Just looked at the two of them and shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.

Theresa asked, "How many of these pistols do you have here?";

Woods said, "About twenty. ”;

Sean asked, "Do you always carry this same pistol?";

"Nope. Woods continued, "I draw from the armory once a Sunday. He looked at Sean and said, "Sounds like I'm being interrogated." ”;

"Nope. Sean smiled and said, "You're just being asked as a friendly witness." If you are to be interrogated, you will be notified in advance. ”
