Chapter 477: The Murder Begins
"This island ......"
Gao Cheng looked carefully, it was really like what Takefu said, the rocks had noses and eyes exposed outside the forest, and as for the forest that was bulging like a mountain bag, it was too much like a turtle shell.
As the cruise ship approaches, in addition to seeing the marina, you can see the perfect sandy beach that surrounds the island......
Although the island is a little smaller, it won't take long to run a lap, but it's just right for him, it feels super nice when you get closer, and the price shouldn't be particularly expensive.
If you want to talk about the shortcomings, except for a little deviation, there is no one, but there is a bit of a diaphragm for the dead person.
"Actually, we used to come to this island a lot to dive," the man in the vest lamented, "but since the discovery of the body, everyone has felt furious and has not dared to come." ”
"Speaking of which," Hattori said as he looked at a few of the staff, "except for Taketomi's director, you all seem to be locals who are familiar with the nearby seas, right?" ”
"Yes, we know a lot of fun here," the dyed-haired young man in a sleeveless shirt eagerly looked at the young and beautiful Kazuye next to him, "How about it, let's go diving together after the recording ends tomorrow......"
"No, no, no!" Hattori squeezed away the two young staff members with a slumped face, "Our schedule for the last few days has been full!" They don't have that time to dive with you! ”
"Really?" The young man with dyed hair was stunned, "Who are they?" ”
"Of course it'......"
"Whatever you want," a serious uncle with a cigarette in the wheelhouse suddenly interrupted the group, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, everyone hurry up and finish the work that needs to be done, in this place, those things are not a joke when the sun goes down." ”
"Ghosts, ghosts?" The two of them were a little nervous.
"It's a legend from Okinawa," said the two young men in a terrible way, "and at night, there will be messengers from hell dressed in black heads, silently going ashore to take away the souls of living beings, especially young women......
The female staff said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm still thinking about diving after I get to the island!" ”
Gao Cheng's eyes tightened slightly, and after the cruise ship docked steadily, he followed Zhufu and walked up to the pier that stretched out from the island.
Indeed, the staff who came to step on the point, only the director Takefu was decent, and the others were locals.
The young man with dyed hair is called Kume Yoshitsugu, 25 years old, and the young man in the vest, Nobuhiro Ikema, 24 years old, not very mature, it can be seen that he still likes to have fun often, probably because he has been staying at the beach, and his complexion is better than Hattori.
Then there is the only female staff member, Irie Hirara, 26 years old, with dark skin like a mermaid, who looks like an athlete who is good at swimming.
In addition, there is the somewhat decadent serious uncle Oto Mikihiko who stayed in the bow of the boat, 47 years old, and the very gloomy captain who did not say a word from beginning to end, and was 38 years old.
"It must be white," Hattori walked up to Taksei, but kept his eyes fixed on Ie Hirara, who went to the cabin to change clothes, "That woman's swimsuit must be a white one-piece swimsuit......"
"Please."
Gao Cheng ignored the confident Hattori and turned his attention to the deserted uninhabited island in front of him.
Entering the pier, there is a hollow clearing in front of the turtle-shell forest, and a dilapidated house is built on the edge of the woods, as dilapidated as a haunted house.
"This is it," Taketomi led Gao Cheng to the wooden pillar in front of the house, "and when he found it, the body was leaning against the pillar, and he carved words on it......"
Gao Cheng squatted in front of the wooden pillar and found that there was a deep inscription on it, "The princess is sleeping in the armor instead of herself".
It's a little inexplicable at first glance.
"Does that really mean anything?"
"I don't know," Taketomi shook his head, "I heard that it was the corpse of a man who had not eaten or drunk for several days and finally starved to death, and when he found it, he leaned on these strange words, and it happened that some time before the body was found, a strong typhoon hit this small island, and the locals said that he may have been killed and trapped here." ”
"Before dying, I left such incomprehensible words......"
Gao Cheng checked the text by himself, but he couldn't find anything special.
According to common sense, the victim will not leave such an unknown message before he dies, and there is no reason for the person who found his body not to understand, and he specially blocked it with his body.
There are roughly two possibilities in this situation now, one is that you have been murdered and want to leave a message that will not be destroyed by the murderer, or ...... Wanting to give a certain message to a specific person and not being known by others.
"It's really not easy to understand," Hattori bent down to lean closer to the text, "I guess someone scribbled it beforehand, right?" ”
"Probably not," Taketomi said stunned, "Usually there are almost no people here, and the mayor came here once before the typhoon hit, if there was an engraving at that time, he would have found it......"
"That's going to be difficult," Hattori touched his chin in thought, "why did he leave such strange words?" ”
"Hey," He Ye looked curiously at the house in front of him, "Who built this house?" How can there be such a house on an uninhabited island? ”
"It's Mayor Jincheng's house."
Irie Hira wiped his hair and walked over: "I heard that it used to be a villa for vacation, but since the typhoon destroyed the house, it hasn't been renovated......"
"Huh?" Gao Cheng turned his head, stunned, and stared at the white underwear that Hiraya Yijiang untied his diving suit to reveal.
Uncle Serious followed to the front of the house, and said with emotion: "This house is indeed much worse than the appearance I saw before, it is just like the feeling of Taro Urashima after leaving the Sea Dragon Palace......"
"Taro Urashima?"
Gao Cheng looked at the uncle suspiciously: "Have you been here before?" ”
"Ah, yes," replied Uncle Serious, "I saw this from a boat about two years ago, because horse mackerel are often caught around this island, but I haven't been here since......"
"No way," the director Takefu stood up from the side of the message wooden pillar, turned back to a few staff members and said, "It's not early, let's get to work, I'll discuss tomorrow's game with Detective Chenghu here, you can go around the island to see if there is anything suspicious, and by the way, see if there are any clues that may help solve the puzzle......"
"Okay."
Several half-baked staff members looked very talkative, and seemed to want to leave the island as soon as possible.
Gao Cheng silently watched a few people walk away, and found that there were still a lot of seagulls lingering near the coast, and the cry that was obviously very oceanic was a little uncomfortable to listen to.
In fact, it wasn't very comfortable from the moment you set foot on this small island......
"Let's go find out together," Gao Cheng calmed down and said, "Anyway, I'm not interested in tomorrow's game, maybe I can find a lot of interesting clues." ”
