Chapter 54: Flower Island
"Brother Quan, let's go to Flower Island, it's time to sail. Li Xin pointed to a passenger ship not far away and strode over.
There are several small islands in the sea not far from Huawan, and Huadao is the smallest of them, which is also part of their patrol route, and they have to take a boat to patrol around once a day.
The passenger boat departs every half an hour, and the boat fare is ten source stones per person, but Huang Quan and Li Xin are dressed in the Patrol Mansion and can take the boat for free.
There were many people gathered on this passenger ship, and it was crowded, and Huang Quan and Li Xin barely found a place to stand.
On the sea in front of the bow of the ship, there was a seal monster beast, several feet long, with a thick rein on its body, under the control of the captain, pulling the passenger ship forward, and the waves stirred up reflected a small rainbow in the sun.
After about a quarter of an hour, the passenger ship came to the pier of Huadao and stopped.
Huang Quan and Li Xin got off the boat and began patrolling the island.
Just like its name, Flower Island is full of flowers, with patches of lavender and green plum blossoms, forming a sea of flowers, and due to the special soil, the flowers here bloom all year round.
Scattered among the sea of flowers are several huge windmill mills, which rotate in circles under the blowing of the sea breeze.
The buildings on the island are built in the midst of a sea of flowers, which is more beautiful than Haishan City. The walls are also uniformly painted white, the roof, doors and windows are painted blue, almost every household has a small balcony and a small garden, surrounded by waist-length white fences, and there are small wind chimes on the walls and doors, and when the sea breeze blows, it rings melodious bells.
In the streets and alleys, you can occasionally see some young girls selling flowers, wearing skirts, carrying flower baskets, tying two braids, and wearing a flower crown woven with flowers on their heads, selling along the street, with a crisp and tactful voice.
In the small garden, by the windowsill, you can see some napping cats everywhere, and the flower baskets on the wall are full of bougainvillea, triangular plum, sea lings and other flowers.
Some elderly people sit at the mouth of the shady alley, or in the small garden at the door, chatting and smoking sea smoke, and the end of the alley is the sea, and when the sea breeze blows, they can comfortably lean on the recliner and take a nap.
Just looking at the living conditions of these people, their hearts will relax and calm down, no wonder Sha Hantian's secret order mentions that he wants to buy a seaside house on this flower island, take many beautiful wives, and live a free life. Anyone who comes here will have such an idea.
"Ahh
Huang Quan and Li Xin felt a pang in their hearts, and hurriedly rushed over and burrowed into the remote alley.
At the door of a house in the alley, a flower girl was covering her mouth, leaning against the wall, looking at the house in horror, even the flower basket in her hand fell to the ground, and branches of daffodils were scattered messily.
Huang Quan and Li Xin hurriedly rushed over and broke into the house, where they found a dead old man lying in the room, pale and slightly shriveled, with an obvious tooth mark on his neck.
The corpse's death was exactly the same as that of the victims of the recent series of murders.
"The murderer is coming to Flower Island!" Li Xin looked nervous for a while, and quickly turned his head to look left and right.
In Huang Quan's mind, the powerful left hand that had lost his index finger suddenly appeared.
He walked out the door, stared at the girl leaning against the wall, and asked, "When did he die?"
"Just, just now, I met him a quarter of an hour ago, he bought me a bouquet of daffodils, but I didn't have it in my flower basket, he asked me to go back and get a bouquet and send it here, I took a bunch of daffodils from home, and found that the door was unlocked, and I pushed the door in and looked at it, and found that he was dead!" said the flower girl with her mouth covered and said in horror.
"No ship left within a quarter of an hour, the murderer may still be on Flower Island!" Huang Quan muttered to himself, immediately took out a cigarette pill from his waist, pulled the rope out, and threw it towards the sky.
The smoke pill was thrown into the sky with thick red smoke, leaving behind a series of obvious signal smoke columns, which could be faintly seen even on the other side of the flower bay across the sea.
All the guards not far from Flower Island, after seeing this red smoke, hurriedly rushed to the dock, requisitioned some ships, and tried to come to support.
"Ah Xin, you stay here, summon your sea eagle demon spirit, monitor the surrounding sea, and I'll go to the dock to prevent any ships from leaving!" Huang Quan said quickly.
"Okay!" Li Xin immediately nodded, summoned his sea eagle demon spirit, controlled it to fly into the sky, looked down on the flower island below, and monitored the movements of the entire flower island.
Huang Quan pointed to the dead old man in the house, and asked the flower girl, "What's his name?"
"His name is Kang Hui, and he is an old man who lives alone. The flower girl quickly replied, letting go of the hand covering her mouth, not as nervous as before.
Huang Quan immediately left the alley and rushed in the direction of the dock.
He couldn't be completely sure that the murderer stayed on Flower Island, if the other party was a sea clan, or had opened up the holy cave and heavenly cave in terms of underwater breath-holding, or there were dive-related demon spirits, then he would just dive into the sea and disappear, and he would not surface for an hour.
Only those who have been able to get in and out of Flower Island by passenger ship will be able to get trapped here.
The reason why the murderer did this should be to see the identity of the deceased as an old man who lived alone, living alone in a house, and no one knew about his death, which was a perfect target.
The murderer must not have expected that a flower girl would send flowers, and the body was found immediately.
Huang Quan quickly arrived at the only pier on Flower Island, where several boats were docked, including the passenger ship that had brought him before, and it had not yet reached the next departure time, and stopped here to pick up passengers.
Huang Quan shouted at the boats, "Everyone get off the boat at once, don't leave!"
Hearing his order, the people on the boat looked at each other, but they were afraid of Huang Quan's patrol, and finally obediently got off the ship and gathered on the flat ground of the dock.
Huang Quan glanced through the crowd in turn, looking at the left hand of these people to check if their index fingers were still there.
But he looked around and found that everyone's left hand was intact, and the murderer was not here.
He boarded a ship, entered the cabin alone under the guise of cross-examination, hid in a corner, and immediately looked into the palm of his right hand, and met the dark eye.
In a few moments, his soul was sucked into it and he went to hell.
He directly summoned the Book of Hell and searched for the name "Kang Hui" with his mind.
But this time, he didn't find each other among the hundreds of millions of souls with the same name and surname.
This shows that the other party did not go to hell after death, but in other areas of the underworld, and there was no way to torture the other party.
