Well of Mystery

The radio station and broadcasting room of Rose Fire Island are located in the Rose Fire Island Administration Building.It is said that it is a building, but it is actually just a small courtyard with the highest three floors.Not too far from the hotel.

When Jiang Chenglu, Bai Xiuqi, Huang Xiuqi and police officer Li Mian arrived, they happened to see the staff laying sandbags at the gate of the courtyard.The administrative building is also one of the few resettlement sites for residents on the island.

The radio station is at the end of the second floor hallway to the east.As soon as the door was opened, the indescribable smell of old electronic equipment hit the face.This is a connecting suite with one large and one small.In the large room, there are writing desks, call stations, radios, blackboards and other miscellaneous items. For the time being, only one bed can be seen in the small room.

The person on duty at this point is called Xiao Zhao.He said that although the island is covered by mobile phone signals, the radio station has always been manned 24 hours a day in three shifts.During the shift, everyone must record detailed listening records, and the requirements are even stricter these days.

They quickly saw the call records of yesterday and today, which clearly marked the contact that reported Huang Xiangyuan's disappearance in the early hours of today.Huang Xiuqi's face showed a momentary look of pain, but she insisted on continuing to look down.

"There is no record of reporting." Li Mian had already made a conclusion for her.

This is also true, since they are unwilling to reveal their names when reporting, it is even more impossible to leave their names in the registration book.Bai Xiuqi asked Xiao Zhao who was on duty last night, and Xiao Zhao simply pointed to the small room next door.

"When the typhoon came, Old Zheng never came home."

To investigate the case, several people apologized to wake up Lao Zheng, who was on the night shift, and explained their purpose.Old Zheng was stunned for a long time, then shook his head resolutely.

"No, no one came here yesterday except me working the night shift alone, and it's even more impossible to have any other call signs."

"..."

Lao Zheng's tone was very firm.If you question them face to face, I am afraid that the relationship will be frozen.Bai Xiuqi thought for a while, and then asked, "Aside from here, are there any other radio stations on the island?"

"This. Maybe, maybe not." Lao Zheng hesitated for a moment, and gave an ambiguous answer.

The radio station is not like a mobile phone, it requires a certain amount of professional knowledge to fiddle with it; and there are three people on the island who can fiddle with the radio station.Two of them are Lao Zheng and Xiao Zhao, and the other is named Chu and nicknamed Mouse.

The mouse can be regarded as a busy person on the island.He seemed to be short on money, so he was running several different businesses at the same time.Watching the radio station is a leisurely job, and at the same time can settle the transaction amount completed in the morning market.after get off work.He will go to the night market to set up a stall.In fact, Bai Xiuqi doubted that he had actually met him face to face.

Lao Zheng and Xiao Zhao have been to each other's homes and know that there is no radio station in the house.But the mouse never lets people into his house, so no one knows whether he has a private radio station or not.

"Will there be other people on this island who also know how to use radio stations?" Jiang Chenglu proposed another possibility.

Xiao Zhao nodded first, and then shook his head: "The signals of civil radio stations are not encrypted. In other words, as long as they are on that frequency band, anyone can listen to it. But at least I have never heard it."

It appears that the whistleblower has been cautious.From another point of view, the premeditation behind Huang Xiangyuan's death may be more far-reaching than everyone thinks.

In any case, rats became the most likely candidates for the whistleblower.Xiao Zhao told them that the mouse was not here, and that he and his wife were in the auditorium.

obviously.The next stop is there.

"Wait a minute."

Before leaving, Li Mian suddenly stopped Huang Xiuqi: "Miss Huang, do you still remember what we discussed on the boat?"

Huang Xiuqi was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to her senses: "Remember, you said that the situation is urgent, and the chance to solve the case is fleeting. So we must take extraordinary measures. It may require me to pay a little price."

"That's right." Li Mian nodded: "Then go to the broadcasting room, now is the time for you to pay the price."

----

Five minutes later, a clear reminder sounded from wherever the broadcast speakers on Rose Fire Island could cover.At the beginning, the announcer reminded everyone to be safe when the typhoon is approaching, but then suddenly the tone changed.It is said that Huang Xiuqi, the daughter of Island Master Huang, has something to tell everyone.

Then there was a slight rustling sound of adjusting the position of the microphone on the radio. Huang Xiuqi first revealed her identity, and then straightforwardly revealed the real purpose of her speech.

"Everyone knows that a terrible thing happened to my father and our island owner Huang Xiangyuan last night. Some people said that he disappeared, and some said that he fell into the sea. But someone told me last night , saying that my father was murdered! My father and I have been dependent on each other since we were young. Without him, my sky seems to have collapsed. There are no words to describe my pain now... But I know, blindly The mourning and grief I have had is meaningless. So I came back and braved the typhoon to return to this island. I know that the kind person who secretly told me the news should be somewhere on the island... Maybe he You are not alone, maybe you have more things to tell me. I implore everyone to help me find out who murdered my father. In order to express my sincere gratitude to you, anyone who provides real clues , I will give 100 million yuan as a reward for each of them."

100 million yuan!everyone!

Jiang Chenglu, who stood aside and listened, covered his face and stared at Bai Xiuqi.

"...can we share a little?"

"The people who use the black card are still so worthless?" Bai Xiuqi laughed, but she was a little worried: "Will the news of Boss Huang's murder be made public like this, will it scare the snake?"

"Yes." Li Mian nodded: "But if we don't mobilize the power of the masses, criminals are likely to leave this island before they are caught by us. You should know that there are many uninhabited islands in the nearby sea for hide."

After all, in this regard, the police are the greatest experts, so Bai Xiuqi thought about it and didn't say anything else.Huang Xiuqi said in the broadcast that she would stay in the hotel and wait for everyone's news. After the broadcast, she immediately said that she would go back to the hotel to wait for the news.In order to ensure her personal safety, Li Mian suggested that one of Jiang Chenglu and Bai Xiuqi should follow him to the auditorium to look for mice, while the other would accompany Huang Xiuqi.

But Jiang Chenglu refused without thinking: "I'm sorry, the two of us are buying one and getting one free, and we don't sell them separately."

Huang Xiuqi glanced at them suspiciously, but she didn't hesitate: "Well, you two go to the auditorium, and if you find the mouse, let him tell the truth."

Jiang Chenglu was stunned: "...it's easy to find someone, but how can we ensure that what they tell the truth?"

Huang Xiuqi asked back: "You are not ordinary people."

"I'm not an ordinary person, and I don't know how to read minds. Don't I have to speak slowly?"

In the end, everyone decided to find the mouse first and then take him to the hotel, and Li Mian was responsible for the rest.

After the division of labor was completed, Bai Xiuqi hurriedly followed Jiang Chenglu on the road before the next round of storms started.The auditorium is on the other side of the South Island, and it takes about ten minutes to traverse along the small alleys.The two quickened their pace and saw the brightly lit building in less than 10 minutes.

Huang Xiangyuan remodeled the auditorium not long after he took charge of the island, and now it looks more like a flat gymnasium, or a sea turtle hiding neatly in the shadow under the cliff.

Coincidentally, Tang Yilang also happened to be helping with windproof reinforcement work in front of the auditorium. Seeing the two of them, he rushed out immediately, scolding his face: "What is that little girl Xiuqi thinking? Isn't she afraid that bad guys will come to kill her?" Silence?! You too, didn’t you agree to protect her? How dare you let her do such a dangerous thing?”

So Jiang Chenglu tried his best to explain the cause and effect of the broadcast, and then asked Tang Yilang to help find the whereabouts of the mouse.

"Mouse, it seems that he was still here just now!" After speaking, Tang Yilang turned around and looked: "Hey, why can't I find this person again?"

He put down the work in his hands and took Jiang Bai into the auditorium.But after searching and searching, there is no whereabouts of the mouse.The few people who asked the question also said that they saw him and his wife just now, but suddenly they disappeared.

In the end, a child who was still watching from the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore, and provided an important clue.

"Uncle Mouse said that their house is close to here, and he said he was going back to cook some food and sell it to everyone. After that, he disappeared."

"What a money addict." Jiang Chenglu couldn't help sighing: "Could it be that he really heard the news on the radio?"

Without further ado, they asked the location of the mouse's house and rushed over immediately, which was really not far from the auditorium.It was a small yard remodeled and reinforced on the basis of an old house. Vegetables were planted in the yard, and there were a few big radishes that had just been dug up on the stone slab beside it, but the person who pulled the radishes did not know where he went. place to go.

"Look, there's smoke coming out of the room." Bai Xiuqi reminded.

Jiang Chenglu also noticed at this time that white smoke was coming out of a small room on the right side of the mouse's house.They hurried in and found that this was an old-fashioned kitchen, with dried corn, peppers, and various dried sea fish and cured meat hanging from the beams.The most eye-catching thing on the ground is the huge earthen stove that is rarely seen in several cities.Each bite is enough to cook a meal for a dozen people.

And at this moment, the mouse's head was simmering on the stove.
