Chapter Seventy-Five: Sir Bruce
Three days later, Shen Rui and his entourage appeared in the Caribbean island nation of Puerto Rico, the capital of San Juan.
According to Shen Rui and Ye Wuxian's experience, once the jade is lit, they must set off immediately without delay, after all, no one knows when the next strange event will occur, and they are definitely not willing to miss the opportunity to explore the Bermuda Triangle.
San Juan is the starting point of the southern route of the Bermuda Triangle, and the reason why Shen Rui and the others first came here was to visit an expert who specializes in this area, Bruce.
The Caribbean region is really far away, close to 20,000 kilometers away from the Bohai Sea, Xiaoba is still on the road at the moment, and it will take four days to arrive at the earliest.
The special car from the hotel was loaded with the equipment that Shen Rui and they had shipped from Bohai, and Ye Wuxian asked Lao Pan to go back to the hotel with the car first, and he and Shen Rui went to meet this Professor Bruce.
Sitting in the taxi, Shen Rui asked curiously, "What is the origin of Professor Bruce?" Why do you keep saying that you can't do without him? ”
Ye Wuxian picked up a strip of white chocolate, and said while eating: "The goal this time is too big, the length of the three sides of the Bermuda Triangle is as much as 2,000 kilometers each, although the moon chasing wall has given us a guide to the position, but it can't tell us the specific latitude and longitude, wanting to look for it on such a vast ocean is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
"So we need the help of experts, and Bruce happens to be the top expert on the Bermuda Triangle, and he's been living in the Caribbean for more than three decades for this cause."
"He can give us some specific landmarks, such as where there has been a shipwreck, where there have been underwater pyramids, so that we can follow those landmarks everywhere, and it's better than if we were to wander aimlessly across the ocean."
"Professor Bruce is not simple, in addition to being an expert in Bermuda, he is also knighted by the Queen of England, his family has a long history and honor in the United Kingdom, as the only heir of the family, Bruce inherited the family's wealth of more than two billion pounds very early, all of which he invested in the study of the Bermuda Triangle."
"In addition to the need for him to give the exploration target, we also need to borrow his learnable research ship, **, Bruce has invested no less than 60 million pounds in this ship, it is currently one of the best learnable research ships in the Caribbean, with the help of Bruce and **, we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
Shen Rui nodded, studying the occult is indeed a very money-burning profession, assuming that Sir Bruce is poor, I am afraid that he will not be able to do Bermuda research for so many years.
After thinking about it, Shen Rui was curious: "Bruce really has the position mark of the pyramid under the sea?" As far as I know, there have been hundreds of reports of underwater pyramid sightings in Bermuda in recent decades, including no less than 20 reports of expert weight, but no one has been able to actually find the legendary underwater pyramid. ”
"All sightings are one-off, and when the witnesses go back to the sea where they last saw the pyramid, the pyramid disappears."
Ye Wuxian shook his head, "I had a phone call with Sir Bruce before, and he didn't have a specific location, but he summed up a line based on the sighting reports over the years, and all the sightings were within this line. ”
The taxi took a trip out of downtown San Juan to a coastal road on the outskirts.
People who practice science tend to have quirks, and San Juan's private institute is built on a cliff on a cliff far from the crowds.
Bruce hated tourists, so he built the institute on the edge of a cliff in the harsh climate, just because he didn't want tourists to come near him.
The taxi stopped at the edge of the cliff where Bruce's private institute was located, and it was not easy to find a taxi in this poor place.
As for this private institute, it is very characteristic, like a pyramid on a cliff, with a white four-storey building that gets steeper and steeper, and at the top is a terrace garden full of greenery.
The black metal door was not locked, Ye Wuxian was stunned, pushed the door gently, and immediately heard a creepy squeak.
Rumble~
The roar of the engine suddenly sounded behind them, Shen Rui and Ye Wuxian looked back, and saw that they would wait for their own taxi, but for some reason they turned around and drove away, the speed was very fast, and the dust was raised everywhere.
"You gave him all the fare?" Ye Wuxian frowned and asked.
Shen Rui shook his head, "How is it possible, what if he takes the money and runs away?" I only gave him a deposit of 500 dollars for the round trip. ”
"That's weird." Ye Wuxian muttered.
When the two men walked into the courtyard of the institute, they saw that the glass door leading to the room was ajar, the pit in the garden was half dug, the shovel was lying on the side, and there was a plant that looked like an agave.
"Sir Bruce!" Walking into the empty hall, Ye Wuxian shouted in English.
There was no response, and it seemed that there was no one in the institute.
Shen Rui pointed to the dining table near the floor-to-ceiling window and walked straight over.
"There were seven people in the institute, two of them were vegetarians and only ate cereal and juice, the others had omelets and bacon on their plates, and one person ate the fastest and was the first to finish breakfast, so his plate and bowl were stacked on top of each other, and the others were interrupted halfway through eating by something, you see, this is the spoon that is still on the side, and this bowl of oatmeal is knocked over."
When he came to the kitchen, Shen Rui gently touched the frying pan with his hand, "There is still residual temperature, which means that they have been away from here for no more than an hour." ”
Ye Wuxian frowned and said, "How do I feel like you like Sherlock Holmes?" Maybe they're out of the house. ”
Shen Rui shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not Sherlock Holmes, it's just that I have more life experience than you, as for going out?" Will you not even clean up the porridge sprinkled on the table? Even if they did have something to leave, it would be in a hurry, even a little embarrassed. ”
Ye Wuxian shook his head, "There are no traces of a fight at the scene. ”
Shen Rui said disapprenousively: "This is a group of scientists, and they are not war maniacs, if someone points at them with a murder weapon, what do you think is the probability that these powerless scientists will rise up and resist?" ”
Ye Wuxian didn't like Shen Rui's statement, because he himself was a powerless scientist.
"Let's go upstairs and have a look."
Shen Rui and Ye Wuxian walked towards the second floor.
Suddenly~
A sturdy black shadow rushed down from the upper floor!
