Chapter 906 The first night of the island investigation

"The legend of 'Giant Rock'?"

Listening to what the village chief said, looking at the direction the village chief pointed, it happened to be the huge rock standing on the sea level that Xiao Ai and he stopped to check just now, Gao Yuan couldn't help murmuring——

Although on the way here, I heard residents on the island mention that the underwater ruins seem to be related to the giant rocks on the sea, but I have never heard of such a name as "Giant Rock" and legends. Pass.

So, after hearing the doubts in Gao Yuan's words, the village head explained:

"This is also the legend we heard from Haipo after the incident. Haipo is the oldest elder on our island. Only she knows some ancient legends about the island.

"'When the eyes are higher than the giants, the three giants are combined into one, and the east, west, and south giants move, the mystery of the seal trophy is released, and the treasure is about to be unearthed.'"

Seriously, the village head told the ancient legend, pointing to the huge rock that was still exposed, and explained:

"'Giant' refers to the Giant Rock. There are similar rocks outcropping on the west and south coasts of this island. According to the ancient legend of the village, giants guard the ruins on the seabed, and all those who approach the ruins will be protected The punishment of the giant in the ruins. Therefore, it is also said that the three missing divers offended the 'giant'..."

"giant?"

Hearing the words of the village head, Shi Jinrunzai couldn't help chuckling, and said a little bit indifferently:
"It's just rocks, formed by coastal erosion. Thinking about it, if the so-called undersea relics are related to these rocks, then I'm afraid that the undersea relics are just simple huge rocks..."

Looking at the shape of the rock pointed by the village head, Junya Tokitsu analyzed it like this:
"After all, it was impossible to build such a huge thing tens of thousands of years ago."

As for Tokitsu Junya's judgment, Hattori Heiji and Koshimizu Nanatsuki seemed to agree with him, and nodded slightly.

Regarding this, the village head could see the meaning expressed by the emotions on the faces of the people, but he didn't say much, just sighed:
"In short, there are related legends about the ruins on our island, and this is the only one, and there are no other related records on the island. Anyway, since the discovery of the underwater ruins for so many years, no one has ever solved the legends about the ruins. On the contrary, it is because of the rumors of the ruins that our small island, which was originally inaccessible, became lively...

"However, another disappearance happened..."

"Did the three missing divers go missing together? I don't see any details about this in the news."

After listening to what the village head said, Gao Yuan asked about it.

"No."

Shaking his head, the village head replied:
"It's the total number of people missing in recent years... But I can't say exactly what happened. After all, some divers came alone, and no one cared when they disappeared. It's just that no one can be found after a while, And the ship leaving the island did not have a corresponding record of leaving the island, so we realized that someone seemed to be missing, but..."

As he spoke, the village chief's voice weakened, as if he couldn't continue.

"Well, it's true, if a person comes to this island without anyone he knows to accompany him, no one will know when he disappears..."

Listening to what the village chief said, Gao Yuan probably understood what the other party meant——

But at the same time, after saying this, Gao Yuan suddenly felt a gaze looking at him, and looked down at him based on his feeling, only to see that Xiao Ai was looking at him coldly at the moment, with an expression that seemed to say "" Isn't this like the situation when you wanted to come here alone before?"

At this time, looking at the current sky, I felt that the topic was a bit heavy, and Mr. Xiaobin beside him couldn't help saying:
"It's getting dark now, why don't you find a place to live first? Anyway, the investigation is not in a hurry."

In this regard, in the face of Mr. Xiaobin's suggestion, the village head could not help but nodded and said that the residences of everyone had been arranged.

So, seeing that it was really late at this time, everyone listened to the arrangement of the village chief and stayed in a slightly larger hotel on the island——

This hotel is a traditional Japanese-style building built with a wooden structure. It has only a single floor, but because it covers a large area, it still looks very stylish. It seems that it is indeed the best hotel on the island.

And it so happened that the doors of the four rooms arranged by Takato, Xiaoai, Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha, Koshimi Nanatsuki, Tokitsu Junya, and the village chief happened to be in the same corridor——

A corridor with two rooms on each side, and the door of the room is also a side-pull Japanese room door.

So, faced with such an arrangement, Takato and Xiaoai, Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye lived on the same side of the corridor, while Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Tokitsu Junya lived on the other side.

Among them, Koshimizu Nanatsuki chose the room facing the door of Takato's room, so naturally, Tokitsu Junya's room was facing the door of Hattori Heiji's room.

In this way, after allocating their rooms, they tidied up a bit, and soon it was evening...

……

"Have you and Yuan Shan dived down to roughly see the ruins today? Do you think that something like a ruin is really a ruin?"

That night, after dinner, Takato didn't see anything outside, walked out the door at the back of the room, passed through the courtyard corridor outside the house, knocked on the back door of Hattori Heiji's room, and asked Hattori Heiji like this.

In this regard, Hattori Heiji was a little surprised to see Gao Yuan asking himself about the situation like this, and couldn't help saying:

"Brother Detective, speaking of it, we seem to be in a reasoning duel, right?"

"Really?"

Faced with Hattori Heiji's response, Gao Yuan couldn't help but say:
"After all, I don't know how to dive. I can't see the situation on the bottom of the sea, so I can only come to you to ask about the situation. Could it be possible to share information?"

Regarding this, seeing Gao Yuan's attitude, Hattori Heiji just smiled, as if he didn't intend to make Gao Yuan too difficult, so he thought for a while and explained:
"Based on what Heye and I dived to see today, the possibility that the large seabed area is just rocks is extremely high. Just like what Shi Tsuya said, those rocks are probably just rocks. Formed by coastal erosion."

"Is that so..."

Hearing what Hattori Heiji said, Gao Yuan couldn't help thinking for a while, and replied like this:

"That is to say, don't you think that the so-called ruins may be some man-made structures submerged in seawater?"

"You also said that it was submerged by the sea... Maybe I don't know how many years ago. At that time, I don't think that the people on this island had the skills and manpower to pile up huge stones into some special relic buildings ...After all, this is just a small island!"

In this regard, listening to what Hattori Heiji said, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded seriously——

"By the way, isn't it good for you... to secretly exchange information?"

However, at this moment, Koshimizu Nanatsuki walked out from the back door of the room where Takato lived, and walked out of it somehow, looking at Takato and the others who were communicating in front of the back door of the room where Hattori Heiji lived...
