Chapter XXII. Sanshan Island

At six o'clock in the morning, after Xiao Qicai and I checked out, we took a taxi from Suzhou City to Shashan Wharf. Along the way, I was restless, and my right eyelid kept jumping, as if I had a premonition that something was going to happen. Xiao Qicai said, maybe it is related to the murder weapon I saw yesterday, but I can't figure it out, why did Professor Hong Tao bring a knife to Sanshan Island, is it to prevent danger? But according to the information I read with Xiao Qicai last night, there are many places on Sanshan Island, which are already developed tourist scenic spots, there are many tourists, and there are police stationed on the island, so there will be no robbery.

When we arrived at the pier, we learned that there are two ways to go to Sanshan Island, one is to take a ferry, the ticket is 20 yuan per person, and the boat will depart on time, and the journey will take about 50 minutes.

There is another way to charter a speedboat, 200 yuan / trip, the boat can be full of 9 people including the boatman, the speed is very fast, 15 minutes to reach Sanshan Island.

Xiao Qicai found the person in charge, didn't say a word, and directly threw a pile of money to the other party, I look at the thickness, let alone tens of thousands of yuan, Xiao Qicai told the other party, "I have all covered this speedboat today, I drive it myself, I need to use a day or two of time!" ”

When the other party was hesitating, Xiao Qicai said again, "If this trip is fun and goes well, this money is just a deposit, and I will give you so much when I come back." What do you think? ”

The other party hurriedly agreed.

After getting on the boat, looking at the green lake on both sides of the boat, I said, "Do you really know how to drive a speedboat?" ”

Xiao Qicai replied lightly, "Sit down well!" ”

I quickly started the engine of the speedboat, and then, before I could prepare anything, suddenly jumped out like an arrow!

The huge push back sensation made me lean forward violently, so I hung and fell directly into the water! A few seconds later, the sound of the wind whirring in my ears was mixed with the sound of a huge speedboat motor, and there was a buzz!

I shouted, "You're trying to murder you!" ”

Xiao Qicai didn't speak, just a strong acceleration!

The sea breeze instantly ruffled our hair, and when we looked back, we could see the waves sweeping in. Before getting on the speedboat, I thought that sitting on this thing would be very exciting, very enjoyable, and very enjoyable, but after I really sat on it, I realized that after the speed came together, the speedboat leaned left and right, and there were always waves on my face, wetting my clothes.

And at that time, people were almost close to the lake, and all they could smell in their noses was fishy, and they felt dizzy, so they had to close their eyes tightly, and they couldn't help but feel like vomiting, thinking that I wouldn't be seasick, right?

Fortunately, the distance from the pier to Sanshan Island is really not too far, and after a while, when I opened my eyes, I saw a huge island coming into view, and there were some stones scattered next to it, protruding from the water, and the water splashed on the stones, and I couldn't help but shout, "Slow down!" Don't bump into it in a moment! ”

Xiao Qicai listened to me this time, began to slow down slowly, not long, we came to the landing site in front of the island, there are staff in charge of answering and three or five tourists, as soon as I saw Xiao Qicai himself drove the boat over, it seemed that he had already negotiated with the previous people, and hurriedly waved and shouted, "This way, this way!" ”

Little Colorful brought the speedboat over, and with the help of the staff, we went ashore. One of them, a woman in her thirties wearing a life jacket, told Xiao Qicai, "I'll keep the boat for you and come back before nine o'clock in the evening, otherwise there will be no one here!" ”

Xiao Qicai thought for a moment and said, "What if I want to spend the night here?" ”

The woman looked at Xiao Qicai, then at me, and said with a very ambiguous expression, "If you want to spend the night here, I will sail the boat over early tomorrow morning." It's better to go back at nine o'clock in the evening! ”

Xiao Qicai nodded and said, "Okay!" Then the two left their contact information. At this time, I was bent over on the side, my hands pinched on both sides, my mouth opened wide and kept spitting, Xiao Qicai came over and patted my back, and said with contempt while patting, "So useless? Are you seasick? ”

After a while, the feeling of vomiting slowly disappeared, I straightened my waist again, and said very helplessly, "I said it, it's the first time to sit on this thing, and you are still driving so fast, swaying from side to side, it's very uncomfortable!" ”

Xiao Qicai said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

I whispered behind her back, "Aren't you here for Auntie?" Why are you still so fierce? ”

Xiao Qicai heard it, looked back at me and suddenly smiled extremely charmingly, "I just hurt on the first day, and I got better on the second day!" ”

I was overwhelmed by her smile.

At this time, I searched around, but I didn't see Professor Hong Tao and his students, presumably even if they came, they should have taken the ferry, and few people would be as strong as Xiao Qicai.

As we walked down the path on the island, I asked, "Did you read all the maps of the neighborhood before you came?" Why do you feel so familiar with the roads here? ”

Xiao Qicai said, "I have the ability to never forget, the first day you knew me?" The topographic map here is already engraved in my head, and now, I am a living map, follow me, and make sure you don't get lost! ”

I asked, "But where are we going now?" ”

Xiao Qicai sighed, "I can only walk around and try my luck on the island!" ”

I said, "The island is so big, it may not be able to go for months, is there no other way?" ”

Xiao Qicai shook her head and said, "No! ”

……

Later, Xiao Qicai and I walked around the island for several hours in a daze, Li Mengzhu did not find it, but found a small village with a sign on the side of the road that said "West Village".

At this time, I suggested to Xiao Qicai, "Why don't we find a place to rest for a while, and by the way, ask if anyone has seen Li Mengzhu." ”

Little Colorful said, "Okay! ”

Walking into the village, I didn't expect that the scale of the village is still very large, there are hotels to stay, there are restaurants to eat, and from time to time a big yellow dog will suddenly come out of the roadside, barking at us, and quickly run away without a trace.

We found a few local villagers and inquired all the way, and many of them said that there were not many tourists who had come recently and had never seen this girl after seeing the photos of Li Mengzhu on Xiao Qicai's mobile phone. At the end of the question, one of the villagers said, "Otherwise, you should go to the village chief, usually there are tourists who come, and he receives them, maybe he can know, maybe he can know." ”

After asking him in detail about the direction of the village chief's house, we walked for about ten minutes, twisted and turned, and jumped through several alleys in a row, and finally found the village chief's house.

It was a fairly good compound, there was a three-storey building in it, and there were two white-tiled houses on the side, after we entered the house, the village chief was eating, we politely said sorry, and then quickly explained the intention, the village chief put down his chopsticks after hearing this, looked at us, and said, "What does that girl look like?" ”

Xiao Qicai handed over the mobile phone, and the village chief stared at the photo on it very seriously for a while, and suddenly said with a slightly strange expression, "This girl, I do have the impression that she came to ...... a few days ago."

What a clue!

Xiao Qicai and I were immediately overjoyed, but the village chief said, "But she seems to have disappeared from our village for a while, I don't know where she went!" ”

Xiao Qicai observed the words and looks, and said word by word, "Don't lie to us, what are you shaking hands for?" ”

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and soon his face showed an angry look, and when I saw this, I quickly took out a wad of money from my pocket, forced it into his hand, and said, "Don't be angry, if you know more about it, please tell us, because this girl is very important to us!" "I don't know when it started, I also contracted the problem of Little Colorful. However, the money was drawn from the 10,000 yuan given to me by Professor Hong Tao last time, and now it is not convenient to go to the island to find someone, so I simply use it urgently. What's more, if you can really find Li Mengzhu with money, it is nothing.

After receiving the money, the village chief's attitude was obviously much more relaxed. But I still felt a little unable to get off the stage, and followed what he just said, "To tell you the truth, I really don't know where this girl went, because at that time, she didn't listen to me." ”

When I saw a play, I quickly asked again, "What happened at that time?" ”

The village chief said, "This girl is very beautiful, but she behaves strangely, the weather is so hot, but she protects her forehead tightly, when she came to me and asked me where the old house of the Wang family is, I naturally said, what are you doing there, you will definitely die there." ”

I frowned and said, "What's going on with the old house of the Wang family?" ”

The village chief shook his head, "I really can't say this, you'd better not ask, because it's a taboo in the village!" ”

I smiled, shoved him another wad of money, and said, "Can you say that now?" ”

The village chief smiled bitterly, "It's really not good! ”

I shoved all the money into his hands, and said, "Let's talk about it, we won't talk nonsense, and you're in the house by yourself, there are two of us, God knows, except for the three of us, no one else will know." ”

The village chief looked at the money in his hand, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but I still have to remind you that no matter what your purpose is, it's best not to go there, you will really die." ”

"Say it!" Xiao Qicai and I glanced at each other, and we both found excitement on each other's faces.

Although the money was collected, the village chief still did not speak in too much detail, only concisely said, "I heard that the old house of the Wang family was in the Qing Dynasty, and the township Kun 'Wang Shiliang' was rebuilt by someone, at the beginning, there were prosperous people, a total of sixty or seventy rooms, and then I don't know how, for no reason, people began to die, overnight, I heard that more than 60 people died, the strange thing is that these people died that day, and the next day before the burial of the ground, the people collectively disappeared!" ”

"Gone? What do you mean? I was slightly stunned.

The village chief said, "If it's gone, it's gone!" ”

I said, "Could it be that these dead people, more than sixty in all, were still able to move their legs, get back on their feet, run en masse, and then disappear?" ”

The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." So at that time, Wang Shiliang was scared, and immediately took all his family members and relatives and moved out of the old mansion overnight! ”
