Well of Mystery

Bai Xiuqi once heard that there is a kind of pheromone (pheromone) among animals that can transmit information.The pheromones are emitted outward, and the hidden information is read by the receptors, thus producing corresponding effects.Although he couldn't intuitively perceive what this pheromone felt like, but at this moment, he felt that it should be similar to what he was feeling.

What came from the sea in the distance was an air pressure that was so strong that it felt a bit oppressive. It seemed that an invisible current was rushing down from a high place, but in fact it was not too sad.

"It's been a long time since I felt such pure aura." Jiang Chenglu whispered in his ear, "The mirage should be the entrance to the ten continents in the sea."

"Do you want to go and have a look?" Bai Xiuqi suggested.

"..."

While Jiang Chenglu was hesitating for a moment, the mirage on the sea quickly dimmed again, and disappeared on the pitch-black sea again in less than a dozen seconds.The aura that comes at any time also completely disappears without leaving a trace.

Except for the lights below the southwest cliff and the increasing rain, everything has returned to the original tranquility of the night.

Bai Xiuqi thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and twisted Jiang Chenglu's arm, well, it really wasn't a dream.

----

At this time, there were actually not a few hours left before dawn.Under Jiang Chenglu's urging, Bai Xiuqi went back to bed and managed to sleep for another two or three hours.When there was a faint light coming out of the window, he immediately sat up like a carp, and at the same time woke up Jiang Chenglu beside him.

"Let's go to the morning market."

The wind and rain in the second half of last night did not know when it quietly stopped.The pier in the early morning is a rare good weather.But because of the fear of the coming typhoon, not many boatmen came to Rose Fire Island for morning market transactions.Moreover, the number of people visiting the morning market on the island has decreased significantly compared to yesterday.

"Everyone has been sent out." The owner of the bakery that Bai Xiuqi patronized yesterday was the first to reveal the news: "Boss Huang fell off the cliff last night, people, he is gone!"

"Huh? Boss Huang?!" Bai Xiuqi picked out a piece of bread and put it on the tray: "Is that the cliff on the southwest side?"

"Yes."

"That cliff is so high, can you still die if you fall off?"

"That's the problem!" The bakery owner nodded sadly: "There are still some bushes and weeds growing on the cliff, and there are several buffer platforms on it. If Boss Huang falls down bit by bit after being buffered , then there might be a rescue if he falls on the ground. But wasn’t the wind very strong last night? Several people said that he was swept into the air by the wind, and if he fell straight, there would be a ghost if he didn’t die!”

"But didn't you just say that people are gone?" Jiang Chenglu interjected, "Could it be that dead people can still move?"

"That's the question!" The bakery owner nodded fiercely again: "I heard from the people who ran down the cliff in the middle of the night yesterday that they disappeared from the top of the cliff in less than 10 minutes. All I found on the cobblestones was a shoe and a pool of blood, tsk tsk..."

Bai Xiuqi asked again: "Could it be that I didn't find the right place? When people fell down, didn't the people on the cliff look down immediately?"

"Who dares, the wind is so hot that the living will be blown away, who dares to take his life to find someone?"

Jiang Chenglu took out the money from his pocket to settle the bill, and then asked, "I'm getting weird, the wind was so strong in the middle of the night last night, why did Boss Huang and those people go to the cliff?"

"I went there because of the strong wind. It seems that something happened to the lighthouse because it was blown by the wind. Hey, I really don't know about this."

The bakery owner took the money and went on to deal with other customers.Bai Xiuqi gave Jiang Chenglu a piece of bread, and the two continued to walk toward the depths of the morning market while eating.

Afterwards, they questioned a few more people, and the news they got was basically the same—Huang Xiangyuan disappeared suddenly, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

"It was Huang Xiangyuan who didn't expect anything to happen." Bai Xiuqi was the first to sigh when he walked to a place where there was no one on the beach.

"Yeah, it's a bit like a praying mantis catching cicadas and an oriole behind." Jiang Chenglu nodded.

"You mean, Huang Xiangyuan's disappearance was not an accident?"

"Otherwise what do you think?"

"..." Bai Xiuqi didn't reply, he just turned his eyes back to the tall cliff in the distance.It took a while to answer: "I think I can go and have a look."

According to the owner of the bakery, Huang Xiangyuan's "suspected" fall was on the rocky beach near the Tanah Lot Temple.Hurrying over with a deep foot and a shallow foot, the first thing Bai Xiuqi saw was a large group of people.

Since last night, the workers who have been searching non-stop, are soaked all over, with dull expressions, as if they haven't recovered from the amazing scene a few hours ago.Some of them lowered their heads and searched carefully in the rocky beach; the other part picked up binoculars and observed the clues on the cliff while shouting.

Among the crowd, Bai Xiuqi saw Uncle Zong holding the cat, and of course Tang Yilang who followed Huang Xiangyuan back to his hometown.

"When I heard about the workers, I rushed over immediately, but they were already gone!"

Uncle Tang repeated to the first person who came to ask.On the edge of where he stood was a pool of blood-stained pebbles, on which stood an open umbrella.Because of the sudden torrential rain in the second half of the night, the bloodstains had been washed into a red pond, which looked shocking.

"With so much blood, it looks like there is no way to save people." Jiang Chenglu leaned close to Bai Xiuqi's ear and whispered.

Bai Xiuqi has no way to disagree with this point of view.From his point of view, no one who has shed so much blood can move freely, let alone completely hide himself.

"Could it be that after being injured, he lost his mind and crawled into the sea." He looked at the sea, which was 50 meters away.

"The tide is high now, and the coastline last night should have been farther." Jiang Chenglu didn't continue to support his speculation: "It's possible for people to be in the sea, but they definitely won't go in by themselves."

What he said was obvious enough, but if Huang Xiangyuan was really murdered and dumped his body, who would the real murderer be, and how did he manage to do it in full view?

Bai Xiuqi's gaze couldn't help but began to wander among the crowd present, and suddenly fell on two familiar faces.

"It's Jian Tong and Luo Weilu, they are here anyway."

Bai Xiuqi pointed out the two of them to Jiang Chenglu, but Jiang Chenglu was not surprised: "The young couple get up in the morning and take a walk to watch the excitement, can't they?"

"It's been said that they don't have that kind of relationship." Of course, Bai Xiuqi didn't intend to get entangled in this matter: "I told you, it was Jian Tong who told me that Huang Xiangyuan was going to kill someone."

"So you suspect that this is actually a thief calling for a thief, and Huang Xiangyuan's death has something to do with them?", "I can't tell." Bai Xiuqi was a little confused: "Although I have a good impression of Luo Weilu, I can't tell why I always I think Jian Tong is too subtle."

"Then stay away from them. Especially that Luo Weilu."

As he spoke, Jiang Chenglu suddenly put his arms around Bai Xiuqi's waist quietly.Almost at the same time, Jian Tong's gaze also turned towards this side. After realizing that Jiang Chenglu was so blatantly showing off his "sovereignty", he just sneered disdainfully, and then looked away again.

"Oh. Are you here to join in the fun?" Uncle Zong, who was holding the cat, also found their traces, and came over with a strange expression: "Such a big thing happened when we first came to the island, and now the island should be in chaos. "

Bai Xiuqi remembered that his luggage was turned over the day before yesterday, and he didn't dare to be too sympathetic to this guy, so he dealt with it casually, and then asked: "What should I do next? The communication was interrupted again, Boss Huang had an accident, at least I have to tell him daughter?"

"I have already sent a message to the other side of the sea through the radio station." Uncle Zong continued to touch the three-flowered cat in his arms: "Lao Tang said that the police have also been called, but because the typhoon is approaching, it is not sure when. In short Let's find the person first, but judging by the posture, even if we find him, he is probably already dead."

Speaking of this, Uncle Zong sighed, and then he heard someone in the distance suddenly shouting: "Here, here!"

Have you found Huang Xiangyuan? !

Everyone turned their heads in horror and found that the man was standing at the gate of the Sea God Temple.Then a large group of people "hula" rushed over and immediately surrounded the small dilapidated temple.

The man who yelled stood on the threshold, pointing excitedly to a trail of blood on the threshold.The vermilion lacquer's bright red threshold and the dark red bloodstain almost blended together, it was really hard to find if one didn't observe carefully.

Tang Yilang ran over to see with a pale face, the blood had already dried up.Although there is no way to confirm that it is Huang Xiangyuan's blood, there is still a high possibility that it was left last night.

"The most important thing is that there is no blood stain anywhere, except that the high part of the threshold was stained. Huang Xiangyuan was obviously being carried or hugged and forced to move." Jiang Chenglu whispered to Bai Xiuqi own opinion.

There is no way, any clues have become important clues at this moment.After Tang Yilang gave the order, everyone immediately started a comprehensive search of the Sea God Temple.Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu also volunteered to join, but it's a pity that after a lot of trouble, let alone new clues.Not even a second bloodstain was found.

It has to be said that the wind and rain last night wiped out many important clues, and indirectly made Huang Xiangyuan's whereabouts a mystery.
