Chapter 386: Westport Wharf

I turned on my phone and flipped to the weather forecast.

It's a windy day this afternoon, and from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow night, there will be an orange warning for heavy rain and high winds.

At the turn of spring and summer, there are many typhoons on the seaside, and the feeling of heat and humidity is depressing.

Murphy opened the window a slit and leaned his head against it, staring at the dark sea.

"Hidden Dragon, Ahead...... It seems like there's a big complex."

I opened the window, stuck my head out, and braved the rain to look out.

Near the wharf on the west bank of the port, there is a large area of buildings that look like residential buildings from the 80s.

In the green space near the building, there are large strip-shaped tin houses scattered around.

More than 2,000 people were busy translating the goods in the container in a large area on the sea.

Small fish fell out of the box and jumped around on the ground.

The car stopped, and Murphy put on a raincoat and covered his phone with his hand to avoid splashing the rain.

"I've checked, the Westport Wharf is very large, it belongs to the Inner Bay Area, surrounded by vast wasteland, and within a few hectares of coast, there are a large number of seafarers' dormitories, shipping company warehouses, etc."

"According to rough estimates, there are about 5,000 people standing here for rest."

"I just received news from Zhao Dailei, she has cooperated with Zhao Mengfu's people to surround all the vicinity of the port and monitor it 24 hours a day."

"Under the infrared monitoring equipment, you can ensure that no one will come out."

"As for the rest, we'll leave it to you."

Tomorrow afternoon, after four o'clock, the ship will leave.

Twenty-four hours, finding Kaidi among five thousand people, is not a problem for me.

We parked the car near the crew's quarters, and after the three of us got out of the car, we found an abandoned tin house and went in to hide from the rain.

On the dock, the bustling crowd is all wearing raincoats, bowing their heads, and hurrying around.

The blood and internal organs of the ground fish are everywhere, and the special fishy smell of the sea water and fish makes us particularly uncomfortable.

Sun Mingjin looked worriedly at the bustling crowd on the dock, "Big brother, among so many people, it's not easy to find Kaidi."

"It's not difficult."

I took out the last hair I had collected from my wallet, and lit it with a cluster of flames in my fingertips.

The strands of hair burned into ashes and fell into a white porcelain bowl.

"Which of you contributed a drop of blood?"

Murphy and Sun Mingjin looked at each other, not meaning to make a move.

I bit my fingertips and dripped blood into it, stirring the white talisman twice, quickly outlining the spell in the air.

The blood-colored spells converged in one place, turning into a ray of light that rose to the sky and landed in the tube building in the northwest region.

"Right there, chase!"

The three of us immediately went straight to the tube building, and the blood-colored light swirled in it, and it could be seen that Kaidi was in the building.

The so-called tube building is a wrap-around building, which is roughly a circle like a bucket.

The windows of the tube building are all open inward, and ventilation and drainage are big problems, so after the nineties, there are almost no similar buildings.

This mottled old building is also left over from the 80s.

The five-storey building is surrounded by narrow air windows on all sides, and when we enter through the only entrance, we find a long corridor from the first floor to the fourth floor.

In the corridor, there are dense men, women and children, mixed in it.

All the doors and windows are opened inward in a ring, so that after entering, the smell of sewers, urine, and sweat is particularly dignified.

Sun Mingjin covered his nose, "Big brother, it's dirty and smelly here, why don't they open more windows?"

Without waiting for me to answer, Murphy replied on his behalf, "For a long time, Westport was a very high-volume cargo port terminal."

"Most of the people who will be here are poor sailors."

"In order to prevent thieves, or from stealing from each other, they live in tubes with only one exit

building."

"Once someone steals, there is a high probability that the thief will not be able to escape from a place with so many people."

I nodded slightly, "I can be sure that Cady is here, but not where it is."

Sun Mingjin blurted out, "Then let's send someone to guard and search from house to house?"

Murphy frowned, "I'm afraid...... It's a bit of a hassle."

It's not just a bit of a hassle, there are sailors in the corridor wearing big pants, washing their bodies with fresh water.

An old lady and a strong woman are beating the sauerkraut that is about to be pickled with a mallet.

There are about 200 residents on the five floors, and the scene is particularly chaotic.

We searched from house to house, not to mention whether others were happy or not, even if we really searched one by one, we had to find tomorrow night. Look at the book

A bearded man in a white sailor suit with a cigarette in his mouth approached, "What are you here for?"

I took out the Ecstasy Charm as usual, "Ordered to investigate suspicious people, etc."

The bearded man's expression suddenly became a little unkind, "Who do you want to catch!?"

Working in such a dirty and messy place, it is estimated that there are many people in it, and the foundation is not clean.

I said, "The person I am looking for has been hiding with you beforehand, and when will the people here leave?"

Hearing this, the bearded face softened a lot.

"I see. We will ship tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, and you will wait."

I arched my hand, "Thank you."

Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, the whole building will be emptied, and we will not have to look for it at all.

Now Kaidi, once the view is exposed from the building, it is like a ray of light in the dark night to me, and there is nowhere to hide.

The rainstorm quickly fell, and the three of us climbed to the top of the fifth floor.

On the balcony, there is a gazebo with a lid for the water tank to shade, just enough for us to hide in.

At this angle, you can just see the door of the building, and you can monitor Kaidi at any time, so as not to let him escape.

Looking at the heavy rain and the rough waves on the sea, my uneasiness became more and more intense.

Cultivators are usually mind-stopping.

What is going on with this inexplicable uneasiness?

Sun Mingjin took out a huge cantaloupe from the storage bag, washed it in the rain, and dried it with his sleeve.

"Hehe, big brother, do you want to eat?"

"No, I don't."

"Sister, what about you?"

"Thanks, I'm not in the mood to eat."

Sun Mingjin gnawed directly on the skin, chewed it together with the skin, and ate it very heartily.

The noise downstairs and the smell of rice made us feel a little hungry too.

I took out the compressed biscuit and ate it without a bite.

It is estimated that at this time, Kaidi is so frightened that he is afraid to eat.

Under the lock of the spell, he was covered in red light, and he didn't dare to show his head at all, otherwise he would definitely be regarded as a monster or discovered by us.

I guess he'll not even survive tomorrow morning before he tries to sneak away.
