Chapter 356: I'm the Biggest Suspect
On the surface, the island looks like an ordinary fisherman's island, and there is no armed equipment in sight. An Feng envisioned the island's possible defenses, but he never imagined that the island would be equipped with sonar devices. This device is usually installed on large fishing boats or submarines.
But on second thought, it is understandable that the island is equipped with such a facility, because the castle has an underwater tunnel, and in order to prevent people from using the underwater tunnel, a sonar device is a necessary equipment.
Without sonar equipment, An Feng believes that with Susanna's strong physical strength and the silicon germanium bones in her body, it should not be a problem to cross the English Channel with her bare hands, and maybe she will be able to have a round trip in the English Channel. As long as she swam far enough, she could naturally take a passing fishing boat at sea, and then find a random port to land, with the other party's camouflage level, presumably Suzanne would walk silently, making this assassination case completely a headless case.
Infiltrating the island was not an easy task, and Susanna's name was not on the whiteboard inside the castle, which meant that Suzanne had completely infiltrated the island alone without alarming anyone. Otherwise, a list of missing persons will appear on the blackboard, and all eyes will be on this missing person, and this missing person must be Susanna's disguised identity.
But no, the five existing lists of suspects on the whiteboard are all men, and these five people just can't prove their whereabouts at the time of the crime, and they are not missing or disappearing from the island.
Susanna's infiltration method seems to reduce the difficulty, and she doesn't have to bother to disguise her identity, so she doesn't have to worry about her disguised identity being discovered by others, or failing to pass strict censorship, but An Feng believes that this infiltration method will not be easy.
First of all, you need to dive far enough into the sea to stay in a state of dive, and whenever you come to the surface to breathe, you must not be detected by nearby fishing boats. At the same time, An Feng believed that the island was not unguarded, and it might be possible to get in and out quickly on the island, but the area of this small island was not large, there were not many places to hide, and under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, it was also very difficult not to be discovered.
What's more, this small island is a place for gangsters and members of secret societies to relax and vacation, and anyone who does something on the island will have to bear unimaginable consequences - as one of the top ten mysterious societies in the world, the intelligence agencies of various countries have not been able to find out its "nerve center", which shows how strict this mysterious society is in secrecy.
People who are good at secrecy, know how to keep secrets, he knows how to find the secrets hidden by others, once this behemoth is angered, I believe that in their eyes, there are no secrets in the world.
An Feng turned his gaze back to the front of him, now the search team on the island has been disbanded, but the management committee did not let the residents of the island go back to their homes, they let every group of five people sit around the beach, and carefully found that he was the only one in the group that seemed to be suspicious. At the same time, the five suspects on the blackboard were also near him, they were not in a group, and they were in the same situation as An Feng, each suspect was accompanied by four companions.
Today is the night of the full moon, and the moonlight is very cold, and if you look at the island from the distant sea, you may think that the island is holding some kind of celebration, because along the beach, there is a circle of gasoline barrels, and the flames in these gasoline barrels are beating, and they are evenly distributed, almost ten meters apart, so that from a distance it seems that the island is wearing a string of shining pearls.
The conversation in the castle was still going on, and the members of the investigation team, still walking among the people, always asked some inconsequential questions, but these inconsequential questions were an ancient interrogation technique, and through the answers to these dozen questions, it was possible to measure the mental activity of the answerer, and whether he was honest in answering the questions.
An Feng's mind wandered out of the whiteboard again, and at this time there was only a list of three people left on the whiteboard, only to see the middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap, standing up and saying something in his mouth, and then grabbed a sponge and wiped off all the lists on the whiteboard, and even the names of the last three suspects were erased, An Feng could vaguely guess what the other party meant, this peaked cap may be saying:
Everyone's thinking is wrong, the three obvious suspects are not worth pursuing and if they continue in this way, the case may reach a dead end.
After saying this, the cap picked up the colored marker pen and first wrote two names on the blackboard - An Feng and Argyle.
The cap paused slightly, as if to explain something to everyone, An Feng understood what he meant: Argyle and he appeared on the island directly and suddenly without the help of any means of transportation, and the surrounding warning network is still difficult to explain how An Feng came, which shows that An Feng has the ability to crack the warning measures of the island.
After saying this, some of the discussants defended a few words, as if to remind the cap that An Feng had the approval of the Council of Elders. The cap immediately retorted a few words, as if it was still emphasizing An Feng's mysterious appearance. Then someone said a few more words, as if to explain that there were eyewitnesses who proved An Feng's innocence......
In the dark, An Feng quietly sneered.
Indeed, An Feng's appearance is too mysterious, and he can't explain this phenomenon that he suddenly appeared with existing scientific knowledge. Although he didn't appear long after, he went straight to the Eros Cottage - in order to make the island look like usual, the islanders generally don't do anything to strange outsiders, but this kind of strange outsiders are easy to enter the island and difficult to leave the island, so An Feng was able to arrive at the Eros Cottage like an ordinary person, and then he was received by the elders.
If it weren't for the elders' reception, An Feng and Argyle would probably die of old age on this island in their lifetimes.
What, quietly leaving the island? The fishermen on each of the island's docks were not good men and women, they had little sympathy, and it was impossible for them to break the precepts and release back to the Anthropocene realm those who disturbed their peace and discovered their secrets.
Helicopter pick-up? This is impossible, the island is private territory, and the area around the island of 20 nautical miles is also private airspace, and the island has the right to expel it without permission, and even use missiles to shoot down the plane.
Fishing boats outside can't get close to the island, and if you want to swim out of the island by diving, you need to avoid the island's sonar device and patrol monitoring around the island - the fishermen on the island catch fish products, and the endless food is not only for the birds but also for the sharks, which makes the island full of dangers, and you want to swim out of the island independently without the help of auxiliary equipment......
At this moment, An Feng heard several muffled noises on the sea, and at this time the sound of underwater bombs exploding, and he didn't know how the underwater bombs were dropped, but it must have been the sonar device that found something suspicious, and then the island took measures to drop underwater bombs around the suspicious object.
At this time, if you swim with your bare hands, you can swim a distance of about five kilometers, but this requires full speed, which requires strong physical strength, otherwise you will have cramps in your hands and feet, and eventually die in ******.
People on the beach and by the gasoline barrels were looking up at the sound penetrating part, some people whispered, and among the four partners who were with An Feng, one of them looked at An Feng thoughtfully, and asked unceremoniously: "Brother, how far away is this sound from us?" ”
An Feng didn't hide it at all, he stood on tiptoe, drew the shape of the island on the beach with his toes, and then marked the exact location of the explosion, during this period, the underwater bomb rang off twice, and later, in the other direction, another explosion sounded, and then, a lightsaber was split in the sky, which was a searchlight shot by a helicopter in the sky.
How did the helicopter come about, An Feng didn't know how to do it, he didn't have Susanna's skills. An Feng pondered for a moment, and immediately marked the location of the two explosion points with his toes, and then replied: "At 9:13, according to us, ten nautical miles is the first explosion point, and at 7:20, the position four nautical miles away from us is the second explosion point." ”
Next to him was a thoughtful person, An Feng swept over, kept their expressions in mind, and calmly added: "The first explosion point is too far away from us, if someone leaves the island immediately after the incident, they must use auxiliary equipment to swim to this position, and the second explosion point...... If the murderer just swam here, then the murderer's physical strength is not good. ”
If he can be valued by the Elders, An Feng can't act like a fool, otherwise others will think that he has a ghost in his heart, so An Feng does not hide his military qualities.
"How do you judge so accurately?" Gasoline blurted out from a companion.
An Feng glared at the other party with an idiot-like gaze, and he firmly refused to explain.
At this time, the muffled sound of an underwater bomb explosion was remembered in the other direction, and at this time, the pillar of light in the sky did not move much, so An Feng deduced that there were at least two helicopters hovering in the sky.
There was a sound of footsteps on the beach in the distance, four members of the management committee came over with steaming food baskets, smelling the fragrance of food, the people at the gasoline barrel rubbed their hands and urged continuously, An Feng locked on the four people who distributed food with a supernatural sense, and then followed each other's footsteps and counted the number of people around the bonfire on the beach on the island one by one.
The fires that surrounded the sand, about eleven of them, had a total of fifty-four people, and one of the campfires was surrounded by only four people.
At the same time, An Feng's supernatural sense scanned seven fishing boats on the surface of the sea, each with three or two people on each fishing boat, a total of about nineteen sea searchers.
There were nine people in the castle, five of them meeting in the conference room, one standing by the sonar machine, one by the radar screen, and two spare personnel, standing on the tower of the castle, one carrying the Stinger missile on his shoulder, and the other operating an anti-aircraft machine gun.
In addition, there is a privileged and uncensored Clinton on the island, as well as a butler and two maids who serve Clinton...... Oh, and Plus An Feng's bodyguard Argyll.
There were also eleven swimmers on the island, three of whom were waiting near the Eros hut, four of them divided into two groups to review the rooms on the island, and the remaining four were men who were distributing food on the beach.
In this way, there are nearly a hundred people on the island, of which half of the island's standing capacity is available, and the rest are those who come to the island for vacation, An Feng looked at the entire beach, and he slowly shook his head.
No, these people who bake the fire on the beach are not necessarily pure tourists, there should be permanent residents of the island among these people, but their trust is not high, so they are sent to the shore to guard.
No, there should be a group of people who are deeply trusted among these people, such as An Feng looking for these four people around him, and their acting skills are very good. These individuals are present to monitor suspects identified by the Board of Management.
That is to say, there are only eleven real visitors to the island, oh, twelve, and an Argyll.
A fragrant boxed lunch was handed to An Feng, An Feng sat down on the spot and opened the boxed lunch, with the help of burying his head in eating, he opened the supervision feeling and paid attention to the castle, and then searched the castle carefully...... Suzanne should not be on the island anymore, when An Feng counted the number of people just now, even the nearby sea was included, and no trace of Suzanne was found.
He wanted to search again, but it seemed pointless, as there was a discussion about him inside the castle.
Don't spend your energy on others.
When the lunch box was almost finished, the discussion of An Feng seemed to be coming to an end, and the voting began, and after the cap's generous speech was over, the other four people in the hall each said a short word, each raised their hands, and the cap saw the result of the vote, sighed deeply, said a few words, and raised his hand in the same way...... An Feng, who locked them with a transcendent sense, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Secret societies suspect a person without providing evidence, as long as they feel that the other person is suspicious, there are good reasons to do so.
The inside story of the Bedi Bowley Society is very mysterious, because for more than a thousand years, no one has ever defected from the society, so their internal secrets have never been exposed, and the intelligence agencies have dug desperately and only unearthed some rumors that seem to be true and false - the community never accepts people with many tongues, so the credibility of these rumors is not large, and most of them are pushed back through the secret traditions of the mafia.
It is rumored that the mafia family sentenced a person to death, and the voter wore a wig and then covered his face with a black veil to show respect for death and mourning for his former family compatriots.
In that conference room, each committee member had a wig and black veil in front of them, and these people raised their hands at the same time, but they did not touch the wig and black veil on the table, and it is estimated that the content of their vote was: whether they agree that An Feng is innocent.
Just looking at the picture and no sound, it is too worrying, An Feng has this guess in his heart, but he can't be sure if this guess is true, he looks at the people and horses on the beach, thinking about how to sweep it, but at this time he can't be overly nervous, or find someone else's shooting corner, occupy the favorable terrain so that he can do it at any time.
He could only sit as if nothing had happened, with two gunmen sitting opposite him, two gunmen sitting behind him, and a long string of jumping campfires to the left and right.
When the voting was over, the cap grabbed the sponge, slowly wiped off the names of An Feng and Argyle, he said something weakly, and then returned to his desk, sat on the chair and turned on the computer, as if he was on a video call.
What does it mean to erase your name? Meaning to determine one's innocence? Or do you want to erase your existence from the world?
What is the purpose of making a computer call now? Is it to apply for hands-on permission from the Council of Elders? Or are you going to report the situation on the island to the members of the Presbyterian Church and ask your boss for instructions?
The latter seems a bit unlikely...... It has been so long since the case happened, and it is impossible for the other party to not issue a report until now.
After a while, a member of the management committee beckoned everyone to evacuate, but the man asked everyone to withdraw to the castle and stand by, to which An Feng firmly refused. Don't be too weak at this time, otherwise others will think that you have a bad heart or are very easy to bully.
"Sir, my residence is not far from the castle, I apply to go back to my residence to take a shower, if possible, I hope to be able to wait for orders at the residence", An Feng looked like an outsider, although his words were humble, but his attitude was very resolute.
The people next to him all looked at An Feng with contempt with the same eyes as dead people, but An Feng also swept the throats and hearts of those people with indifferent eyes, and the cold gaze made the audience opposite serious.
The member who spoke hesitated for a moment, and nodded bitterly: "Okay, you can go back to your residence, and we will inform you if there is something." ”
An Feng quietly wiped a cold sweat.
The action just now is a test, to test the tolerance of the other party, if An Feng is now the main suspect, then the opposite committee insists that An Feng go to the castle in order to ensure that he can be under everyone's eyes at any time.
Now the other party has allowed An Feng to return to Clinton without much consideration, which means...... Well?
The secret society is strictly hierarchical, and the other party is strangely allowed, and suddenly the audience on the opposite side looks respectful, some people subconsciously bow slightly to An Feng, and more people widen their eyes, trying to keep An Feng's face in their hearts silently, such an important big person, although everyone can't come forward to talk to him now, but when they meet it on other occasions in the future, it must be useful. The internal discipline of the secret society was severe, and in such a momentous event, the commissioners were still so tolerant of this strange man, and the background of this person must not be simple—this was the consensus of almost everyone present.
The team began to move sparsely towards the castle, the moving crowd seemed to be unorganized, but in fact there was strict discipline, first began to move odd groups, then even groups, each group of people before and after fifteen seconds apart, although the queue did not have the flavor of the skirmish, but it was still a formation that could fight back at any time.
An Feng was in the queue, in a position of not moving forward or backward, and when his group arrived at the Eros hut, he stopped, and his fellow group members also stopped, until the entire queue was over, and the committee member who had just spoken said goodbye to An Feng, and the four team members followed the committee member without saying a word and stepped on the hut on the edge of the cliff.
When the whole street becomes empty...... No, now on the island, except for the Eros Hut in front of him, all the rest of the people were gathered in the castle, and at this time, An Feng felt a flutter in his heartstrings - this feeling had reminded him of Susanna's arrival. This means...... Well?
