The Mystery of the Ancient Scrolls

Xiao Kaiyu first confirmed that the person was indeed dead, and then called Wang Chao to take a photo and leave a certificate, and then started the next steps.

After Zhou Yiyuan revealed his identity, he also took the initiative to take the people at the scene aside and took notes one by one.

Although Zuo Younuo sighed with regret that their vacation ended without a problem, he quickly surveyed the scene.

Xia Dongli was very relieved to see that everyone was busy without having to speak up.

"Dongli, come and see this." Shen Youran stood at the window and looked back at Xia Dongli and called.

"What's wrong?" Xia Dongli walked over.

"Look at this..." Shen Youran pointed to the window rail.

Xia Dongli looked towards where his finger was, and saw that there was an obvious deformation in the middle of the stainless steel welded window rail, and at this moment, there was a loud noise outside.

"What happened?" Zuo Younuo, who was squatting on the ground, got up and looked at the door in puzzlement and asked.

"It must be the sound of something falling to the ground..." Wang Chao replied after recalling the sound just now.

Just when Xia Dongli and Shen Youran decided to find out what happened, an old man in his 70s and [-]s ran in panting and shouted: "Comrade police officers, I don't know what happened to the signal pole here. The interruption is lost, and the signal flag can no longer be hoisted."

Because there are ships passing by around Xianren Island no matter it is day or night, even if there is no one on the island, there are people on duty here all year round to guard the lighthouse that guides the ships, but because of the small number of people, there is no such thing here Set up any communication signal tower, if there is something that needs to be contacted with the outside world, the only way to convey information is through the signal flagpole on the island with different colored flags.

But at this moment, the flagpole is broken and the signal flag cannot be hung up. People outside will not know what happened here. It can be said that the island is already isolated from the world at this time.

"When will the person who changed shifts with you, old man, come?" Xia Dongli looked at the old man and asked, if someone came to change shifts, a boat would come. As long as they had a boat, they could leave here to seek support.

"I just came this morning to replace the previous person. The next time will be three days later. We work in three-day shifts." The old man replied honestly.

"Is there only one person to guard the lighthouse on this island?" Shen Youran looked at the old man's disapproval of the work arrangement here.

The old man shook him: "If it's our turn to guard the lighthouse, we'll all be in groups of two, and there's one person at the fallen flagpole right now."

"But even if you are in a group of two, you shouldn't be allowed to go to the island!" For the old man with almost white hair in front of him, Shen Youran couldn't agree with the decision here.

"No..." The old man quickly shook his hands and explained: "Originally, young people from several of our villages came here in turn, but my son happened to be on a business trip these days, so I will come here for a few days instead of him, next time won't come."

"Is there no dedicated staff here?" Xia Dongli frowned after hearing the old man's words: "It stands to reason that the upper management will allocate wages to recruit people for things like guarding the island and watching the lighthouse."

The old man nodded: "There used to be, but jobs like this are too boring, and people who come here don't do them for long, so over time, the town negotiated to ask people from our villages to come here in turn. Not only does it save the trouble of recruiting people every time, but each of us can earn a little money.”
