"Of course I don't want to do it either. Let's talk about a exchange. I'll help you clean the kitchen and don't tell Uncle Li about what you slipped away. You tell me all the things you know about the north shore of the Great Lakes, especially about Nuonuo and Xiaogui."

"Do you know Nuonuo?" Yan Nuogu was obviously stunned for a moment. He knew the name Nuonuo, so his eyes were filled with incredible feelings.

Xiaodou nodded and continued, "If you are willing to tell me, I will tell you my life experience. How about this in exchange conditions?"

"Well... why do you think I will know about the north shore of the Great Lakes? Is it because of the unreliable stories I told you in the morning?" Yan Nuogu asked back.

Xiaodou said: "Those are not unreliable stories, because I have heard of the characters you mentioned in it. So I can be sure that you know the past, whether you have experienced it yourself or heard from others, I just want you to tell me everything you know."

“…”

Hearing this, Yan Nuogu was silent, and he seemed to be hesitating. The young chef slowly walked to the kitchen door, looked towards the hall, then leaned against the door frame and said, "Okay, but what I told you, don't let Kang Hong and Lao Li know, they are taboo."

"Are they all fishermen from decades ago?" Xiaodou asked.

"I don't know this. I can only promise to tell you what I know and ask them the others."

"Okay, then I'll start cleaning up now, wait for me." Xiaodou rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action. Yueyue wanted to stand up and work with him, but was stopped by Xiaodou. Xiaodou asked him to sit at the kitchen door and not leave. It seemed to have some special significance, but he was unwilling to explain it clearly. Yueyue had to sit down again and watch the two of them walking around.

Yan Nuogu followed Xiaodou into the warehouse. He said, "I'll help you too. After cleaning up the place later, we will go to the small space at the back door." After he said that, he did not forget to say to Yueyue: "If someone comes in, please remind us, beautiful little girl."

"Yeah, OK."

The two people in the kitchen seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, but Kang Hong and the two aunts who were staying in the hotel lobby were in a different atmosphere.

After everyone else left, Kang Hong's face immediately became gloomy. He did not ask the aunt who left the back door of the warehouse, but asked her to go upstairs to help Xiaochen. When only Kang Hong and the first aunt who left the kitchen were left in the hall, he asked, "What did you see? He left so hurriedly just now."

"I, I didn't see anything. I just suddenly thought that there was something outside that I hadn't finished, so I left. Isn't it normal to walk around and say hello when I work?" The aunt mustered up the courage to refute, but her pupils obviously told Kang Hong that she was afraid and very scared.

Kang Hong pressed step by step and asked her: "Have you ever told others about the situation in the kitchen?"

"I saw nothing! I didn't say anything! Lao Kang, why do you look at me with such a look? What did you do?" The aunt retreated tremblingly, even the questioning voice seemed weak and powerless.

Kang Hong relaxed his facial nerves at this time. He closed his eyes, slowly approached his aunt two steps, put his mouth close to her ear and said, "I let Lao Li soak in the water tank, you probably already know."

"What? Um..." Suddenly, the aunt was pulled suddenly by Kang Hong. Before she could react, she was taken out of the hotel and walked towards the nearest warehouse.

Regardless of the middle-aged woman's desperate struggle, Kang Hong's hand was holding her like a pliers, and he did not forget to warn her: "If you want to shout, even if you can shout, everyone will not believe you, because Lao Li will soon appear in front of everyone."

"What the hell is going on? Don't pull me, I'll leave myself! And why do you take me to the warehouse?" The aunt's voice was very loud, probably if she was focusing her attention. People inside and outside the hotel could hear it, but no one was focusing on them at this moment.

After entering the warehouse, Kang Hong and Aunt's behavior was immediately blocked by the box filled with fish. We could only hear the sound of human bodies hitting the wooden box and the words of the two of them continuing to "debate". After a long time, the warehouse finally became quiet, with no quarrels or collisions, only the sound of footsteps moving normally, as if the two of them had reached some agreement and were about to do something in the warehouse.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and strange things continued. Did Old Li really be killed by Kang Hong? Then why did he say that Old Li will appear soon? What happened to the aunt who was taken into the warehouse by Kang Hong? Has he been killed and silenced? We have no way to know, so we can only watch all this happen.

In the artificial island 15 years ago, there were no criminal police or detectives, only a sick man who was pursuing the past and a confused young girl. What kind of turning point can they bring to the case?

——

2011

The man in the dark fainted, and he lay there, and the light spread to him little by little, and as most of his body was illuminated, another man jumped out from above.

The person who jumped down gently picked up the unconscious person, tied him to his body with a rope, then climbed up with both hands on the edge of the gap above his head and climbed up hard. There were several boxes under their feet that could serve as a bracket to support them slowly climb out of the gap and come to the kitchen floor.

The kitchen was empty at this moment, and the detective and actor were asking the people on the island on the front room. In this hotel, the doors and windows were all locked. If they had not passed the secret passage, they would have no way to enter the hotel. The keys were also taken away by the people on the front room.

They looked like two young men, one of whom had a little breath and moved the other unconscious person outside the back door of the warehouse. It was the only door that was not locked because it had no chain head at all and could be opened at any time.

However, behind this door there is no access to other parts of the artificial island, only an endless lake.

After hiding in this only reassuring small space, the man picked up the coma who had just been pulled up and sat down. The terrifying corpse was on their side. Through the gap in the small door, the man could also see the unwillingness and anger revealed by the eyes that wanted to fight against the god of death.

The deceased's facial expression was distorted, his eyes that were not closed, and his lips were swollen. His pupils were pale, and his black eyes were almost blocked by the skull for 2/3. In his open mouth, blood mixed with lake water flowed out. There was nothing below the head of the corpse except a broken neck.
