Xiaodou and Kang Ju passed by. Although the person walked towards the west of the artificial island, his attention was still focused on the woman behind him. One thing he realized was unintentionally in Xiaodou's heart. The touch the woman's body gave him and the beautiful face were intertwined, making Xiaodou unable to understand the truth.

After shook his head, Xiaodou stopped thinking about these irrelevant things and accelerated his pace and walked forward.

There was not a single person on the two-story board house in the distance and the dock. The wind was howling with the messy Xiaodou's hair. He gently lifted his hair behind his head with his hands, squinted his eyes and looked at the balcony on the second floor of the board house. Behind the clothes hanging there, you could vaguely see that there was a heavy-bell umbrella on the ground.

Xiaodou was very strange. All the Chongming umbrellas he saw were neatly hung on the wall shelves. Why was the umbrella alone placed on the ground? Could it be that it had just been used?

His footsteps went straight towards the umbrella. Xiaodou didn't notice that there was a swaying figure in the warehouse next to him. He was a tall man he had never seen before. He was about 50 years old, his hair and beard were gray, but his muscles were prominent and he looked good in spirit and strength.

The man is putting boxes of things into the corner of the warehouse. This is his job today. Over the past few days, in order to make the Chongming umbrella, the warehouse has not been cleaned for a long time. The floor inside is damp and the smell is strong. Even dead fish and shrimps fill the gaps between the boxes, which makes people feel disgusting.

After the man pushed the box to a clean place, he began to clean the dead fish and shrimps into the black garbage bag. Perhaps he wanted to pull it to the lake to pour it out. Just as he straightened his body and relaxed for a while, he saw the little beans passing by outside.

But immediately walked to the warehouse door and shouted to Xiaodou: "Hey! Young man, who are you? Where are you going?"

Xiaodou stopped when he heard the sound. He turned around and happened to meet the man's gaze towards this side. In an instant, the man standing at the door of the warehouse let out a slight scream, and the man also took two steps back, as if he had seen a ghost.

The man called softly: "Nuo Nuo...Nuo Nuo..." But he never dared to shout out the name loudly, and could only swallow it back into his throat lighter and lighter.

Xiaodou's bright pupils were still staring at this strange old man, as if waiting for him to report his name first.

After stabilizing his emotions, the elderly man shouted at Xiaodou: "I will Kanghong, the fishing worker here."

The hall in the prefabricated house is very simple, it is just a square space with no partitions in the middle and no large furniture. It is piled up with many things like a warehouse. On this island, simplicity is convenient. Besides, the prefabricated house needs to be dismantled every day, and placing furniture that is not necessary can only increase the workload.

While walking, Kang Hong took off the gloves on his hand. He wore a pair of cotton and linen gloves for work, the white ones, but now the original color of the gloves is no longer visible, and it is covered with broken pieces of fish limbs and blood stains.

When he arrived at the stairs leading to the second floor, Kang Hong stood there and shouted again: "Xiao Ju, are you on it?"

This time, a voice responded to him, but not her daughter's voice, but another man. The man's voice sounded very young, probably only in his teenage years.

"Sister Xiaoju is out."

"It's Xiaochen! Are you awake? How are you doing today's preparations? You're going to set off soon in the afternoon, don't forget anything." Kang Hong walked upstairs, instructing the boy named Xiaochen.

Xiaochen's voice was very clear. He was walking downstairs and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm already 15 years old, so it's impossible to lose all my heart. Besides, Sister Xiaoju checked me again this morning, there was no problem."

"That's good! Do you know where Xiaoju went?"

"She said she wanted to go to the hotel kitchen to help, but it wasn't because of Yannuo Valley, hum!"

Xiaochen said this sentence very heavily, especially the last word, which shows that he was very dissatisfied with Kang Ju going to Yan Nuogu. Kang Hong happened to see his nose humming, and touched his head with a smile and said, "If you really like Xiao Ju, then go to the city to practice hard for a few years, and come back to marry her after making a lot of money, but it should be fast. Xiao Ju is already 27 years old this year, and she can't wait for you for a few years."

"What if you go back on your word after I leave, uncle, marry Xiaoju to Yannuogu? Then you will say things like that they are the same age!" Xiao Chen said frankly. Kang Hong is usually very pampering, so he doesn't care about anything he says.

Kang Hong said: "You are the only secret of Xiaoju. I know the two of me. Do you think she can marry Yannuogu?"

This rhetorical question instantly left Xiaochen speechless. While he was not speaking, Kang Hong continued to ask: "Are you confident that you will not forget Xiaoju when you arrive in the city? There are many more objects there who are about the same age as you than on this artificial island."

The man walked out of the room and walked downstairs step by step. He was wearing an ordinary shirt and touching his cheek with one hand, as if he was confirming whether it was smooth. The other hand was in his pocket, holding the key to the door tightly, and the ill-fitting cotton and linen pants looked loose.

Every step he took, his trouser legs were almost stepped on by white shoes. A little bit of brown dirt was stuck on the toe of his white shoes, like oil stains, or like soil that was stuck somewhere.

Someone had already started walking in the hotel lobby, all busy aunts coming in and out. Before the workers came over from the prefabricated house, the man called one of the aunts and asked, "Is Xiaoyan in the kitchen?"

"He just left, Xiaochen, let me tell you, Xiaoyan was also strange today. He either didn't come or cooked all the food in a hurry. It only took half of the time for us to serve. We didn't have time to wait and see him and ask what's going on? Xiaoyan has always had the best relationship with you."

"I understand, aunt, I'll go find him now." After saying that, the man named Xiaochen hurriedly walked out of the hotel. This man was completely different from Kang Chen. He looked much more mature. He was about 35 to 40 years old, with beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes. From the outside, he was of the same type as Yun Yeyao, but Yun Yeyao's eyes were very bright, while his eyes were only much gloomy.

The man is not very tall, and perhaps because he bent down and hunched back, this impression is caused. When he walks, one leg does not seem to be very straightforward, but it is not as obvious as a lame man. If he doesn't look carefully, he will never notice it.

He seemed to be deliberately paying attention to his legs, walking slowly, trying to make himself look like a normal person. When he walked past his aunt and wanted to push open the hotel door, the aunt behind him suddenly shouted: "Xiaochen, why are your trouser legs wet behind you?"

"Ah! Is that right? Maybe it was wet when I went out for a walk just now." Xiaochen was startled and quickly replied.

"I told you not to wear such long pants. These pants don't fit at all and are easy to fall." The aunt complained, putting the garbage bag in her hand on the side of the counter, squatting down and preparing to help Xiaochen roll up her pants legs. The people here are not distinguished from each other, and everyone treats each other like family members, so it doesn't matter if you do a small favor.

It is not easy to walk from an artificial island to the dock alone, especially a young man like Xiaodou, who is already weak in body. It took Xiaodou about 20 minutes to stand firm in the middle of the dock. The lakes around him were undulating, making Xiaodou feel like a floating boat and may overturn at any time.

Xiaodou calmed down and turned around and walked into the mooring harbor hidden under the artificial island. There were ships arranged neatly. Xiaodou struggled to move a pedal and set it up, and prepared to go to one of the ships to see the Chongming umbrellas above. He was indeed very interested in those special umbrella bones.

At this moment, a scream came from a faraway place. At first glance, it sounded like a man's voice raised, but after careful reminiscing, it looked like a woman. Xiaodou looked up at the artificial island, but because of his current location, he could hardly see the situation on the island.

After thinking for a few seconds, Xiaodou gave up the idea of ​​going back to watch the fun, and continued to board the boat along the pedals to get close to the Chongming umbrellas. He never expected that there was a boy in the hotel now looking for trouble for his girlfriend.

Inside the artificial island hotel

When Yueyue saw Xiaochen in a fierce manner, she had no idea what had happened? She didn't know why Xiaochen came to cause trouble for her? She couldn't even understand what Xiaochen said!

"I tell you, you'd better stay away from Sister Xiaoju, otherwise, no matter whether you are a woman or not, I will beat you up!" Xiaochen said loudly to Yueyue in front of everyone in the hotel hall.

Yueyue was also very angry and retorted: "What do you want to do? I don't know you at all. Xiaoju and I just said a few words. Why do you threaten me like this? Is this your way of hospitality?"

After a series of rhetorical questions, Uncle Li hurriedly ran in. When he saw the situation in the room, he suddenly patted Yan Nuogu, who was leaning against the counter on the east side, and said, "You are stupid! Hurry up and pull Xiaochen out!"

"It's not that I don't want to pull it, it's that Xiaoju has already pulled it just now, it's useless. Xiaochen just got angry and just ignored it. Xiaoju was angry and ran away by him! And..."

"And what?" Uncle Li asked inexplicably. He felt that Yan Nuogu looked at him with a strange look, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately realized that something bad must have happened.

The fifth room that Lao Nuo entered first was the room where the tenant was not easy to mess with. However, since Lao Nuo suddenly locked the door, we had no way of knowing what was happening in the room. In other words, only Lao Nuo knew about this matter at present, and perhaps the tenant in the room knew about it, but the tenant must be alive now.

Putting aside this tenant who doesn't know the name, let's see what happened after Lao Nuo entered the next patient's room.

This time, he really saw a corpse, not the patient's or the tenant who was not easy to mess with, but a man without a head or feet.

When he first entered the room, Lao Nuo did not find a body lying on the bed. It was just like the detective and the actor yesterday. He felt a strong wind blowing in his face, blowing his eyes so hard that he couldn't even open it. Because the window opposite the door was wide open, and the room was filled with the strong smell of lake water. Lao Nuo didn't care and went straight through the whole room and walked over to close the window.

After he closed all the wooden blinds, the room became quiet. Lao Nuo picked up the small thing blown to the ground one by one, put it back to the original place on the table, and then walked to the bed to check on the patient.

The patient's entire body was covered, with only one hand stretching out the bedding, bent his fingers and placed it on the edge of the bed, as if he was knocking on the edge of the bed, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

Lao Nuo said to the bed, "How are you doing? It's almost lunch. The weather is good today. I'll help you out for a walk after dinner."

But there was no reaction in the bed, which was normal. The patient, especially the patients who lie in the bed all year round, were always slower than others. Moreover, the patient was still in a 'sleep'. Lao Nuo naturally thought so, so he did not speak again, but reached out to lift the cover of the person's head on the bed.

But what he saw at first was not a familiar face, but a piece of meat with the top cut off and bloody flesh grinding! Lao Nuo didn't react at all, his mind was like a computer crashing, blanking for a second or two, and then a small cervical vertebra exposed outside the flesh appeared in his pupils, and finally realized what he had seen before?

Lao Nuo opened his mouth and screamed silently. The man stepped back straight and sat on the ground. He was still pulling a corner of the quilt in his hand. He lifted the quilt off the bed with excessive force. The terrifying corpses on the bed were exposed in front of him.

The man was at the bottom of the lake. After watching his beloved leave, he began to swim east of Bifang Island, which was the back kitchen of the hotel. He accelerated his speed and gradually followed the dark shadows that had just swam past not far away.

The tall worker always helped Lao Nuo to do things. The man was a little bored. He could not waste it like this year. This was a good opportunity. It was not easy for a criminal policeman to come to Bifang Island. The man had to seize this opportunity.

The man floated out of the lake and took a breath. The man dived down again, keeping the distance that was not discovered. The man looked at the shadow and opened the waterproof door in the middle of the giant bracket and entered it. Then he let go of his hands and feet, swam in front of the waterproof door in one breath, and hid there and waited.

He knew very well what the black shadow was going to do, but he must not find anything at the bottom of the lake. Even if the criminal police discovered his behavior, he must not let the people on the island see it. His hands, which were slim in the lake, gathered together, pulled out a thin ribbon from his wrist, and slowly tweaked it on his hands.

As long as the shadow inside comes back, the man will attack immediately. The deadly fishing line is hidden in the ribbon, which can easily break your neck.

Everything seemed to be the same as he imagined. In less than five minutes, the black shadow inside the hollow bracket opened the door and swam out again with a tool in his hand. The black shadow is a master of swimming and diving, and men must be careful to be countered by him.

Fortunately, Black Shadow opened the door and did not notice the abnormality behind it. His attention was distracted for a while, giving the man an opportunity to take advantage of it. He quickly wrapped the ribbon around Black Shadow's neck and pulled it back with all his strength.

The black shadow struggled desperately, stirring his hands and feet under the lake, bringing bubbles and waves, which blurred the eyes of the two people. Now they are competing not only with strength, but also with endurance. Whoever can stay under the lake for a long time can win in this competition.

Black shadow is not a vegetarian. When he was struggling, he hit the man with his elbow desperately, trying to make him lose his strength, but the man did not give up because of this. He endured the severe pain. Instead, the man pulled the ribbon back even harder.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of bone breaking suddenly came under the water, and then the last roar before a person died. There was also a gurgling bubble floating on the lake. A few minutes later, a man with a distorted and ferocious face, almost mad, floating up from the lake. His black hair was scattered, like an evil ghost floating on the bottom of the lake.

The man was at the bottom of the lake. After watching his beloved leave, he began to swim east of Bifang Island, which was the back kitchen of the hotel. He accelerated his speed and gradually followed the dark shadows that had just swam past not far away.

Why did Xie Yunmeng mention Xiaochen's personality? What did the criminal police find? What was the difference between Xiaochen in the quarrel, Xiaochen who walked down from the second floor of the hotel, and Xiaochen who was among the three people of Lao Nuo, the chef and Aunt Tao? Why did Lao Nuo go to the hotel without any sound? Is Kangcheng alive or dead? These will soon be found from the discovery of the first corpse and enter the sight of the criminal police and the actors.

It was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and the open-air dining table in front of the boarded house was almost tidying up. Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng had nothing to do, so they stood in front of the guardrail by the lake. Seeing that everyone was about to leave, the actor asked his friend: "Xiao Meng, what is it? Take it out and I'll take it and take a look."

He was referring to something that Xie Yunmeng secretly took from the dock. The detective just revealed to him while eating that Xie Yunmeng stretched out his left hand from his pocket, spread out his clenched fist, and a strand of black hair lay in his fist. At first glance, it looked like the black ponytail hair in the hotel kitchen.

Yun Yeyao gently twisted a little with his fingers, looked in front of him and asked, "What's so strange about this?"

"Of course there is nothing to be strange about this. What's strange is where he is. Do you want to know?" Xie Yunmeng deliberately circled him.

Yun Yeyao tilted his head and thought for a while, "You ask me to guess that it shouldn't be taken out of the umbrella bone, because you didn't break the umbrella bone at all. It was not something on the umbrella surface. I touched the umbrella surface of the umbrella in your hand. The pattern was completely painted, and nothing was pasted?"

"I would like to remind you that this thing does come from an umbrella, but it was not taken from the umbrella in my hand. Xiaoyao, you probably can guess it, right?"

"Ah, I understand. What circle does such a simple question go with me? It is the big umbrella on the bow, right? Let me think about it again. The big umbrella connected to the bow is fiery red. Except for the umbrella handle, most of the umbrella bones are connected to the boat, and it cannot be hollow. Well... In other words, you got these things from the middle of the umbrella handle? There must be a gap or a lid on the umbrella handle that can be opened, right?"

"Haha..." Xie Yunmeng suddenly showed a proud look and said to Yun Yeyao: "I lost twice, twice."

"What? What do you mean losing twice? Tell me clearly." Yun Yeyao immediately jumped up and yelled at Xie Yumeng.

Xie Yunmeng hooked his shoulder and said to him: "The first time was Uncle Li's sleeve, and the second time was the source of this thing." After that, he put his palms in front of Yun Yeyao's eyes.

Aunt Ye sat alone in the second floor of the hotel. Her room was the fourth from east to west, which was the room where the patient lived 15 years later. But after 15 years, are the people living there? We cannot guess. Now, she held the injured hand in front of her chest, looked out the window alone, thinking.
To be continued...
