"Good, good...... I won't say it...... I won't say it...... Well, can you let me go......" said the young man grinning.

Ma Xiaoyao took a deep breath and let go of the young man's collar: "Where are the people of the search team now?" ”

"It has long been disbanded, the search team was jointly formed by many departments, and together with the search team formed by the province, they went to sea to search for the whereabouts of Mayor Gu and other missing people, and now the search team has been disbanded." The young man said.

"Disbanded?" The corners of Ma Xiaoyao's mouth twitched: "Those people are too irresponsible, Mayor Gu and those missing people haven't been found yet, how can they withdraw and disband!" ”

"The search team has been searching at sea for more than half a month, and it has done its best." The young man sighed: "Besides, a person can't survive at sea for too long, first of all, there is no fresh water at sea, and secondly, sharks are crisscrossing the sea, and if you are not careful, you will be eaten by sharks, this has been more than half a month, Mayor Gu is estimated to have ......" The young man originally wanted to say that Gu Li would not survive, but as soon as he saw Ma Yao's face, the young man immediately swallowed his words back.

"Where is the sea area where Mayor Gu had an accident?" Ma Yao asked in a deep voice.

"In the heart of the blue ocean......" said the young man.

"Let's be more detailed, do you have a map here, and mark the sea area where Mayor Gu had an accident." Ma Xiaoyao frowned.

"Map ......" The young man glanced at Ma Xiaoyao: "What do you want to do?" You don't want to go to sea to find Mayor Gu, do you? ”

"Where did you get so much nonsense, is there a map at all!" Ma Yao glared at the young man.

The young man nodded: "Yes, there is a map, I will mark it for you." The young man took out a map from the drawer and marked it on the map with a pen: "Well, this is the sea area where Mayor Gu had an accident......

Ma Xiaoyao picked up the map and looked at it, then folded it and put it in his pocket, then turned around and walked towards the door: "Thank you." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao opened the door and walked out.

The young man frowned and said to himself, "Who is this man?" What is his relationship with Mayor Gu? Why did he care so much about Mayor Gu? ”

……

At the gate of the city hall.

Meng Qiang sat on the seat of the car, smoking a cigarette boringly, and at this moment, Meng Qiang saw Ma Xiaoyao walking out of the city government, and hurriedly opened the car door and walked down: "Secretary Ma, you came out." ”

"Let's go, take me to the beach." After speaking, Ma Xiaoyao opened the car door and sat in.

Meng Qiang flicked the cigarette butt, got into the driver's seat, put on gear, and drove the car towards the beach.

The city government is very close to the seaside, and it is less than ten minutes, Meng Qiang drove to the beach, at this time there are many people on the beach, most of them are wearing very little, women and children, these people are playing on the beach, take a closer look, there are several foreigners among them.

Ma Xiaoyao pushed the car door and walked down, glanced around, and then strode towards the east.

Meng Qiang hurriedly followed.

On the east side of the beach are parked several small yachts, all for people to play, rented by the hour, while a bald-headed, white-faced man sits on a yacht and snoozes.

"Hey, wake up, it's time for business." Ma Xiaoyao reached out and patted the white-faced man.

"Hmm......" The white-faced man opened his eyes and sat up, and glanced at Ma Xiaoyao and Meng Qiang: "You want to rent a yacht?" ”

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Yes." ”

"Fifty dollars an hour, how many hours to rent?" The white-faced man asked.

"What is the maximum number of hours you can rent?" Ma Xiaoyao asked rhetorically.

The white-faced man was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"I have an urgent need to go to sea, so I need to rent a ...... for a few more days," Ma Xiaoyao said.

"You're going to sea?" The white-faced man's brows furrowed suddenly.

"Yes, I'm going to sea." Ma Xiaoyao fumbled in his pocket, took out a handful of money, roughly counted it, there were more than two thousand yuan, Ma Xiaoyao turned his head to look at Meng Qiang: "Do you have any money with you?" Lend me some and I'll give it back to you. ”

Meng Qiang hurriedly took out all the money on his body, a total of only a few hundred yuan, Meng Qiang said embarrassedly: "Because I am in a hurry to go out, I don't have much money on me." ”

Ma Xiaoyao frowned, reached out and took out a bank card and handed it to Meng Qiang: "You go to the bank and take out all the money in it, hurry up, the password is six seven." ”

Meng Qiang nodded, turned around and walked away quickly.

More than ten minutes later, Meng Qiang came back, still holding a thick paper bag in his hand.

"Did you take out the money?" Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly asked.

Meng Qiang nodded: "Take it out, and as you speak, Meng Qiang handed the paper bag and bank card to Ma Xiaoyao."

Ma Xiaoyao handed the paper bag to the white-faced man with his backhand: "This money is for you, I want to rent your yacht, I can't say the specific time, but I promise to send the yacht back to you as much as possible." ”

The white-faced man glanced at the paper bag in his hand and asked suspiciously, "Where are you renting my yacht?" ”

"Go find someone." Ma Xiaoyao let out a breath: "I have a friend who was going abroad on a plane to run errands, and the plane crashed and fell into the sea halfway, my friend is missing, and I am going to look for her now." ”

"You went to the sea to find your missing friend?" The white-faced man's expression was a little moved.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Yes, I'm going to find my friend, I want to see people in life, and I want to ...... in death See the corpse ......"

The white-faced man said admiringly: "There are too few people who are so affectionate to you now...... Friend, it's not that I don't want to rent you a yacht, but my yacht is too dilapidated and I don't have a license to go to sea, so if you go to sea with a yacht, you are likely to be seized by the coast guard...... If you really want to go to sea, I can introduce you to a man who has several big yachts in his hands, and he has a license to go to sea, but the rent may be a little more expensive......"

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can go to sea, it doesn't matter how much rent you have!" Ma Xiaoyao said hurriedly.

The white-faced man nodded: "Okay, I'll call him now." After speaking, the white-faced man took out an old mobile phone, quickly dialed a few numbers, and hung up after saying a few words: "You are lucky, my friend still has two yachts in his hand that have not been rented out, and now I will take you to him." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Ma Xiaoyao thanked.

"You're welcome." The white-faced man returned the paper bag with money to Ma Xiaoyao, and then patted the yacht under him: "Come, come up, I'll take you to meet my friend now." ”

Ma Xiaoyao turned his head to look at Meng Qiang: "Old Meng, you don't have to follow me, hurry back to the township." ”

"How can this work, I ......" Meng Qiang said hurriedly: "Secretary Ma, I'...... It's too dangerous for you to go to sea alone, so let me follow. ”

"It's because it's too dangerous, so I can't let you go with me, and besides, I don't know how long it will take me to come back from this trip...... Alright, you can go back quickly. After speaking, Ma Xiaoyao jumped on the yacht, in fact, Ma Xiaoyao wanted Meng Qiang to go with him to find Guli, as the so-called people are powerful, but Ma Xiaoyao can't be so selfish, after all, it is very dangerous to find someone in the sea, I don't know what danger will be encountered, Ma Xiaoyao can't ignore Meng Qiang's safety for his own selfishness, so after thinking about it, Ma Xiaoyao still didn't take Meng Qiang to the sea together.

"Secretary Ma......" Meng Qiang shouted: "I ......"

"Go back, be careful when driving on the road, by the way, after returning to the township, don't talk nonsense, if someone asks you where I went, you will say that I am doing things in the city." After Ma Xiaoyao told Meng Qiang a few words, he turned his head to look at the white-faced man: "Big brother, you can go." ”

The white-faced man nodded, and sailed the yacht into the sea.

Looking at the yacht that was gradually moving away, Meng Qiang couldn't help but show a trace of worry on his face.

……

The white-faced man was skillfully driving the yacht and said to Ma Yao: "I just heard your companion call you Secretary Ma?" Are you an official? ”

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I am the party secretary of a township. ”

"Oh, you are the secretary of the township party committee at such a young age, amazing, amazing." The white-faced man exclaimed.

"You see I'm young, in fact, I'm thirty years old, besides, I'm just a party secretary in a remote and poor township, a small department-level cadre, nothing remarkable at all." Ma Xiaoyao said.

"It's already very good to be a department-level cadre at the age of thirty, and if you develop in the future, the official will definitely get bigger and bigger." The white-faced man laughed.

"I hope so." Ma Yao took out a cigarette, lit it against the wind, and smoked it.

Half an hour later, the yacht slowly docked.

"Here we are." The white-faced man extinguished the fire, got up and jumped ashore.

Ma Xiaoyao also followed ashore, glanced around, this is a large port, a lot of workers in blue clothes are busy nervously, there are many ships parked in the sea on both sides of the port, some large and some small, basically freighters.

"Little white face, you kid is finally willing to come to see me, a bad old man!" A thin old man strode from the east.

The white-faced man's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly greeted him and hugged the old man fiercely: "Oh bad old man, I haven't seen you for a few months, your body is still so tough!" ”

"That's right, I'm exercising every day, and it's no problem to live for a few more decades." The old man laughed.

"Decades is too short, why do you have to live another hundred years." The white-faced man quipped.

The old man pouted: "Then I won't be an old goblin." ”

"Huh...... You're an old goblin...... Come, let me introduce you to it. The white-faced man pulled the old man to Ma Xiaoyao: "Bad old man, this person wants to rent your yacht to go to sea to find someone, if it is convenient for you, rent one to him." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Ma Xiaoyao: "Go to sea to find someone?" ”

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Yes, my friend took a plane abroad a few days ago, who knew that the plane crashed and fell into the blue ocean halfway, and my friend disappeared on the spot, and he has not been found until now." ”
