Well of Mystery

"I don't think Uncle Zong is a bad person. Men who like cats are not bad people."

After walking a certain distance from the hotel, Hua Yin rushed to express her opinion.

Huayin teased her: "Then who do you think looks like a bad guy? Uncle Tang who ate oysters with us the night before yesterday?"

"That's not like that, he's careless, and told us so many things." Hua Yin still shook her head, thought for a while and said: "But since Uncle Tang once said that he would help Huang Xiangyuan kill people, now that something happened to Huang Xiangyuan, then Is Uncle Tang also in danger?"

"..."

A word awakened the dreamer, Jiang Chenglu looked at Huayin, then turned his head to look at Bai Xiuqi: "Tang Yilang said to kill people, but he didn't personally say that he wanted to help Huang Xiangyuan kill people."

"That's right, that's actually just Jian Tong's speculation based on the content of the phone call and interpersonal relationship." Bai Xiuqi quickly understood what Jiang Chenglu meant: "You mean, Tang Yilang is not actually helping Huang Xiangyuan kill someone , but helping others to kill Huang Xiangyuan?!"

Jiang Chenglu nodded: "There is this possibility, but there is also another possibility - what Tang Yilang mentioned on the phone has nothing to do with murder at all. Think back carefully, when Tang Yilang was on the phone What are you talking about?"

"I'll have someone look for it carefully, and once they find it, they'll all be disposed of, and none will be left behind."

"What if he said rats?"

"It's just exterminating a mouse...is it worth saying it in such an alarmist tone?!"

"I'm afraid, the alarmist is not Uncle Tang at all." Hua Yang, who had been silent all this time, interjected, "It's that man named Jian Tong."

Hua Yin's brows were almost wrinkled together: "Then I don't understand! Is he just afraid that the world will not be chaotic?!"

Jiang Chenglu had already thought it through.

"I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the more chaotic the better. This way he can hide in the chaos and successfully complete what he wants to do. Last night, I saw him leave the hotel alone, and I didn't know where to go." Do something."

"Perhaps Huang Xiangyuan might have been killed by him."

Bai Xiuqi suddenly realized.

"He's not an ordinary person either. Of course he has the ability to make Huang Xiangyuan fall off a cliff in full view. Then he borrowed our hands to beat Uncle Tang into a murderer, causing internal strife among the people on the island and setting us on fire... ..."

The more he talked, the more he felt that Jian Tong was really scheming that day. I am afraid that every word he said in the dream was not true, but just a little trick he used to disturb his mind.

As if seeing the entanglement in his heart at the moment, Jiang Chenglu made a gesture to end the divergent discussion.

"Forget it, at least we are not in a mess as people expected. For the rest, let's see what he will do next."

In this way, everyone finally put an end to the divergent opinions about the Huang Xiangyuan incident for the time being, and turned their attention back to the upcoming search operation.

"It doesn't seem to work."

Hua Yang crushed the nine-color flowers that Uncle Zong gave just now and applied them on the skin, but there was no major reaction until now.So how to correctly find out the plant that Huang Xiuqi had chosen became the biggest problem.

A few of them climbed up the stairs, and soon came to the viewing platform where Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu had been at noon yesterday.Looking towards the cliff on the west side, Huang Xiangyuan's villa stands in the shadow of the rock, looking lonely and weird.

Knowing that it was a dead end, they didn't go any further. They just glanced at it from a distance and then turned their heads and walked towards the path in the other direction.

This time the choice is correct.Behind the viewing platform is an unremarkable desolate path, which looks like it hasn't been repaired for a long time.But as long as you observe a little, you can find that this road should have been very spacious, but now it is overgrown with weeds.There is also an abandoned concrete sentry box on the side of the road, and even the inside is covered with weeds.

"This should be the main road leading to the Laogai Mine in the past." Bai Xiuqi speculated: "From here, you should be able to directly reach the Great Wall."

So, everyone began to walk along this deserted road.The mountain became stable unconsciously, and looking back at the distance, it turned out that they were already standing at a height almost level with the cliff.

"This should be the ridge running through Rose Fire Island." Jiang Chenglu said.

It is not an easy task to move forward on the desolate road, and each step must make various assumptions about where the next foot will land.Snakes, insects, broken fragments and thorny thorns, fortunately, in some places, traces of people's stepping can still be seen, and they can barely walk.

"I heard that the snakes on the island are more poisonous than the snakes on land."

Jiang Chenglu volunteered to walk in the front, scaring away all the snakes in the grass, and turned around to talk while walking: "Tell me, Boss Huang's daughter, she is a delicate young lady, really good at it. A person ran to such a ghost place to pick flowers?"

"If you don't, then you won't." When Huayin heard him mention Huang Xiuqi's name, her expression immediately became stinky: "She is the daughter of the island owner, and there are many people who want to flatter her on this island. She's just a few flowers, what's the big deal?!"

"Maybe Boss Huang himself?" Hua Yang put forward a hypothesis.

"Impossible." Bai Xiuqi shook his head: "Huang Xiangyuan made the rule of not being able to enter Beidao himself, and only Beidao has the nine-color flower. If he picks the flowers himself and puts them on his daughter's hand, wouldn't he have broken his own?" According to the rules, how can I establish prestige in front of my subordinates in the future?"

"Xiaobai also makes sense..." Jiang Chenglu rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "But if this happens, who dares to give Huang Xiuqi a nine-color flower in a blatant name? Isn't that making it clear that Boss Huang won't be taken care of?" Do you see it? Do you still want to hang out?"

Hua Yin curled her lips: "You can't say that, don't you think Uncle Zong picked flowers and put them on the window sill?"

"Didn't Huang Xiangyuan disappear?"

"Don't make me sound like a dictator, okay?"

A group of people discussed in low voices like this, passing through the desolate road with a length of about 60 meters, the scenery not far in front of them suddenly changed.

"It's the Great Wall!"

Huayin called out first.

The gray high wall that had been seen from a long distance on the cruise ship was displayed closer to everyone's eyes.It was cold and stiff, like the skeleton of some prehistoric animal.

"How do we get there?" Bai Xiuqi looked at the wall as high as several floors and frowned.

"I heard from Uncle Zong that there is a sentry box in the middle of the wall, as long as you bribe the guards, you can go there." Hua Yang said.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Jiang Chenglu smiled: "Come on Xiaobai, give me a hug."

Bai Xiuqi couldn't hold back immediately: "...What time is it, and you are still making such a joke!"

"Where am I kidding? Do you still want to cross the wall?" Jiang Chenglu felt aggrieved instead, and turned to look at the Huayang brothers and sisters: "Come on, I'll send you two off first, we don't care about him."

Hua Yang and Hua Yin didn't bother to pay attention to the quarrel between the two of them, they went straight to Jiang Chenglu.Jiang Chenglu was also unambiguous, and jumped up with one arm and one arm. This jump directly stood on the high wall, and then turned his head to look at Bai Xiuqi.

Bai Xiuqi also raised her head to look at him, with a calm and emotionless expression.Jiang Chenglu sent the man to the other side of the Great Wall, and returned to Bai Xiuqi after a while.

"Now, do you still think I'm joking?" he asked in a low voice with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense." Bai Xiuqi lowered her face and decided to do business: "Don't waste time, take me there quickly."

"Apologize to me first." Jiang Chenglu actually refused to let go at this juncture: "You just made me lose face in front of the Huayang brothers and sisters, hurry up and talk about how to make it up, huh?"

"..."

Bai Xiuqi thought that it would not be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and was just about to compromise temporarily when he suddenly heard angry shouts and questions from the other side of the Great Wall.

"who!"

Oops, there are people in the North Island!

The moment he realized what had happened, Bai Xiuqi immediately stepped forward and pressed Jiang Chenglu's shoulder, and Jiang Chenglu also understood, picked him up, and easily crossed the tall long wall.

When they landed on the other side, the shouting and asking just now had disappeared.Bai Xiuqi saw an old man in his early fifties lying unconscious on the grass in front of Huayin.

Jiang Chenglu was taken aback: "Little aunt, grandma, don't you kill him?"

Hua Yang shook his head at the side: "She didn't do it. I just took out a little bit of his memory and let him fall asleep temporarily by the way, it's okay."

Having said that, he suddenly staggered, but fortunately he leaned against the high wall behind him.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?!"

Huayin hurried to help, but was blocked by Huayang.

"I'm fine." Hua Yang stubbornly shook his head: "Let's go, it won't be good when someone wakes up."

Without further ado, the four quickly left the high wall and headed north.

The person who was fainted by Hua Yang just now should be the guard in charge of guarding the high wall.Looking west along the Great Wall, you can see the simple hut where he usually lives and a few small vegetable fields.Next to the hut is a three-fork intersection of an abandoned asphalt road, one end connects the only entrance and exit between the north and south islands, and the other two ends lead to nowhere.

"Hey, have you noticed just now? There is no driveway from the South Island to the North Island, but trucks are definitely needed for ore transportation. So there must be a North Island road, and maybe a North Island wharf for freight."

Jiang Chenglu's speculation won everyone's approval.From this point of view, the remaining two roads at this three-way intersection are likely to lead to the two ends of the ore transportation line.

They chose the road that continued to point to the north of the island, and went on.After walking through a desolate grove, the remains of human buildings appeared again before my eyes.

"Wow, this is the sulfur processing plant, isn't it?"

Huayin pointed at the tall chimney in the distance, holding her brother's arm timidly with one hand.
