17. Museum (B)
Watching the man enter the museum after buying the ticket, Song Wenbin withdrew his eyes, and it seemed that the man did not know that he had been discovered. I don't know what the background is, and suddenly dare to follow him, don't you know that there is a big demon standing next to me?
He poked Huo Yu, and Huo Yu nodded slowly, signaling that he knew. She slowed her pace and waited quietly with her back against a vase in the corner.
Sutina still didn't know what was going on, she still held a small notebook distressedly, recording all kinds of cultural relics she saw in front of her, trying to find some artifacts about the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, an artifact from the Netherlands of the eighteenth century caught her eye.
It was a bow that almost blended into the reef and had a unique shape. In the style of the 18th and 19th centuries, the bow of the ship is carved out of wood by a living mermaid, which is stuck in the reef, and has been preserved intact and moved to the museum's display case.
Looking at this artifact, Sutina's mouth opened slightly.
The slightest hint of electricity made her head open instantly, and her whole body stiffened in front of the bow of the ship.
"I see... I see...," she muttered.
Song Wenbin didn't care what Sutina was saying, he also leaned against the wall, trying to subdue the possible stalker in an instant when he appeared.
But after waiting for a while, the person did not appear for a long time, Song Wenbin was a little confused, he couldn't help but glance sideways, the person was stopping in front of the display case that Su Tina had just described. At this moment, he has taken off his poncho, and looking at the color of his skin, it should be a local in Indonesia. However, although he took off the poncho, he did not put it at the door, but carried it in his hand. Fine droplets of water dripped from the dusty poncho and soon formed a puddle of water on the ground.
This immediately attracted the attention of the museum staff, who walked up to the man, pointed to the raincoat in his hand, and began to speak, but they spoke Indonesian, which Song Wenbin did not understand at all. Huo Yu didn't understand either, she stuck to the wall and gestured to Song Wenbin, signaling him to get ready.
But at this moment, Sutina suddenly screamed.
"Brother Song! Huo Yu! Come on!! I see what's wrong!! There was unquenchable excitement in her voice.
The two, who were already highly nervous, were startled by her voice, which also attracted the possible stalker, and he bypassed the museum staff and looked up in the direction where the voice came from, and happened to see Song Wenbin's slightly sideways eyes behind the wall.
He was stunned for a second, then immediately dodged and ran out.
Song Wenbin suddenly felt strange, if he wasn't a thief, why did he run?
Now he stopped pretending, and shouted loudly: "Huo Yu! ”
Huo Yu had already been unable to bear it anymore, and at this moment, he rushed out like an arrow from the string, rushing towards the man who was following them like a hundred-meter flyer.
The man was extremely alert, and when he saw someone rushing over, he didn't even swipe his card, jumped out of the security checkpoint, and rushed into the rain outside without looking back.
Song Wenbin was uneasy and shouted, "Catch him!" Huo Yu!! ”
Huo Yu naturally didn't need to say much, she jumped up more than a meter high, and also flew out of the security checkpoint and rushed into the rain outside.
The man fled to his electric car, twisted the handle, and the electric car ran away from the street with a splash.
"What are Huo Yu doing!?"
Su tina hurriedly came to Song Wenbin's side, and watched Huo Yu rush out of the museum all the way to the square outside with a bewildered expression.
"Someone is following us." Song Wenbin said in a solemn voice.
Sutina immediately became nervous, she shrank beside Song Wenbin, and looked around, "Who, who is following us?" ”
"I don't know."
Song Wenbin looked at Huo Yu who rushed out of the museum, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, although Huo Yu was very skilled, he had not met an opponent in four countries, but the other party's origin was unknown, and he was worried that he would encounter traps and hot weapons.
"Let's go!!"
After thinking about it for a while, Song Wenbin felt that he couldn't let Huo Yu face it alone, after all, she was reckless and impulsive, and she didn't know what she would do. So he pulled Sutina and chased him outside the museum in stride.
Sutina was pulled out of the museum by Song Wenbin, treading water all the way, chasing towards the street where Huo Yu disappeared, and the umbrella was too late.
Su tina held her small satchel on top of her head, and was hurriedly pulled by Song Wenbin to run, she didn't realize the seriousness of being followed, and she was still immersed in the joy of finding clues at the moment, and she couldn't wait to be pulled by Song Wenbin and said: "Brother Song, I understand what went wrong, the treasure chest is not on land, the treasure chest should still be in the sea." ”
"Hmm."
Song Wenbin snorted.
Now he wasn't very interested in what Sutina was saying, but he was very concerned about who was following them and why.
Standing at the intersection and looking, Huo Yu was almost gone.
"Brother Song! I made a mistake that caused us to waste a week in the sea. Sutina said excitedly as she ran, ignoring the rain, she opened her small sketchbook, forcibly placed it in front of Song Wenbin, and said: "Look at this ship's corner, this is a Dutch merchant ship that sank in the Java Sea in the 19th century!" Do you see the problem!? ”
The raindrops fell on the notebook, and in an instant, the sketch was wet.
Song Wenbin pushed away the notebook and said, "Put it away first, and then talk about it when you catch someone!" ”
But Sutina couldn't bear it anymore, and she said excitedly: "This is not a reef, the reef at the bow of this ship is not a reef, the reef at the bow of this ship is an atoll." There are three kinds of reefs in the sea, a reef, a barrier reef, and an atoll.
But if it was a reef, it should not be possible for Zheng He's treasure ship to tilt so much that the treasure chest would be lost.
You must know that Zheng He's treasure ship is more than 150 meters long, with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, and has a very tight watertight compartment, even if a water inlet area is flooded, it can sail normally, so Zheng He must have suffered a huge wind and waves that day, and the ship was seriously damaged, and the water area was relatively deep, so it would be impossible to recover the lost treasure. ”
Song Wenbin stopped reluctantly.
At this moment, he chased Huo Yu to a local farmers' market in Surabaya. It's crowded with men and women in raincoats on electric scooters, haggling in the narrow alleys, and the ground is littered with filthy chicken feathers. Countless poultry were packed in filthy tin cages, plastic basins on the floor filled with all kinds of seafood, and people smashed eels on the heads with wooden sticks, splashing blood, and the humid air was filled with a strong smell of fish and chicken feathers.
Looking at such a crowded and lively scene, Song Wenbin had to stop.
He didn't feel very good.
There were so many people, each wearing a raincoat and riding an electric scooter, that if that stalker had run here, it would have been almost impossible to find it again.
Damn it...
Sure enough, ordinary is the best protective color.
Song Wenbin thought to himself, if he didn't bring the program team here to shoot the show, if he was just here to hunt for treasures, he would want to give himself a set of such equipment.
"Brother Song, are you listening to me?" Sutina asked tentatively.
"What did you say?"
"I mean, if Zheng He's treasure ship has ever had a problem, it must have been in deep water, and it was not a reef, but a barrier reef and an atoll. But the authors of the Ming Dynasty did not distinguish so much detail, and only recorded a reef character, which led to our misjudgment. ”
Song Wenbin finally sensed the value of the information Sutina was saying, and he opened his mouth slightly.
"Atolls?"
"Yes, most atolls and barrier reefs are offshore reefs, and they are not in shallow waters, so if we just go back to the ship, find those barrier reefs and atolls around Surabaya, and search around them, we will definitely get something." Sutina said firmly.
Song Wenbin was stunned for a moment, grabbed Sutina's arm and walked towards the farmer's market, although this information was very valuable, he was more concerned about whether Huo Yu caught the stalker.
It is about the investment of hundreds of millions of funds in the country, Song Wenbin does not dare to slack off in the slightest, no matter who the other party is, what forces, what identity, and why he wants to follow him, he does not want this operation to have any possibility of exposure.
After following the flow of people side by side for a while, Song Wenbin finally stopped, and he saw Huo Yu at the end of a narrow alleyway.
At this moment, Huo Yu had his back to him, his shoulder-length hair was wet from the rain and stuck to his neck, and he stood in place panting with his fists clenched, looking at a low wall in front of him.
In front of her, a dilapidated electric car was toppled to the ground, its wheels spinning non-stop, but its owner was nowhere to be seen.
"Didn't you catch it?" Song Wenbin asked.
Huo Yu shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "This must be a local, who knows the terrain here well. ”
】
Song Wenbin looked at the footprints on the electric car, so he stepped on the electric car and climbed up the low wall to look to the other side, and on the other side of the good guy was a larger farmers' market, which was full of small trucks and tricycles running around. Hundreds of people walked around the market carrying plastic bags.
Stepping back from the wall, Song Wenbin's face was not very good-looking.
"Damn the electric car and run away..."
He bent down to look at the electric car and muttered, "How scared are you..."
