I'm catching tricks in the Hong Kong variety show world

"So you can only send me to the island, and the rest is up to me, right?"

Su Hao found that the problem was more difficult than he thought.

"That's pretty much it. Moreover, I can only give you one day. We will go back after dark. If you can't return by then, I will have to call for backup."

Xiao Yuan said while observing Su Hao's eyes.

Su Hao frowned, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. The wind was strong, so it was not easy to light it. Su Hao was just a habitual action when thinking about the problem, "We may have to wait until tomorrow morning." return."

Madoka was shocked for a moment, "You want me to spend the night alone on the speedboat? Are you mistaken? When we usually come to patrol, we only dare to go to the island in a group, let alone spend the night on it."

Su Hao touched his arms and took out three 2000 yuan Hong Kong dollars and stuffed them into the other person's hands, "Then please take care of me. I don't want you to spend the night on the island. You keep the speedboat away from the shore. When I come back, I will use a lighter to signal you, and then you just need to pick me up and get on the boat.”

Xiao Yuan pointed at the Hong Kong dollar in her hand knowingly, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, just give me money to buy cosmetics for Sister Xiaoyuan."

No matter where it is, no matter who it is for, money can make people go around. This is true everywhere. It is basically an unspoken rule of all civilized humans.

Although it was a bit difficult to accept emotionally, Su Hao also understood that if it hadn't been for him to investigate the case across the island, Xiao Yuan might still be drinking tea in the Marine Police Station on the shore. A small compensation would be acceptable.

He gets the credit for solving the case, but the other party gets the northwest wind?

After receiving the money, Xiao Yuan's expression immediately softened a lot, "You can go back tomorrow morning, but I still won't go to the island with you."

She bent down, dug twice at a small hatch, and took out two walkie-talkies and a business card.

"If you have anything, you can contact me through the walkie-talkie, and I can call for backup. This business card belongs to the village chief above. His name is Atai, and he is a descendant of South Vietnamese immigrants. If the suspect you are looking for is among that group of Siamese immigrants, , he must know him, but whether you can get him to cooperate with you depends on your ability."

Su Hao took the business card and the walkie-talkie, checked the walkie-talkie's function on the spot, and quickly turned off the switch.

He had one last question, "Do any of the immigrants above have guns?"

Madoka thought for a while and said: "Not sure, maybe there is, maybe not."

"I can only say that when we went to the island to check in the past, we did not find that they had guns in their hands. If they had, they would have been confiscated by us."

Su Hao nodded and basically got the answer he needed.

Since Madoka has no guarantee, she definitely doesn't have it, so she has it.

Although Su Hao didn't know much about the Outlying Islands District and Xiaoyazhou Village, he still knew a little about the activities of the fishermen on these islands, because they could be found in newspapers from time to time.

Fishing is actually just their side business and disguise. As for their main business, it may be smugglers, smuggling, or pirates.

In short, in the eyes of the island residents, the residents of these small islands are not good people.

From time to time, some sensational news can be produced. Of course, none of these headlines are positive.

"Also, if you want to go to the island, don't say you are a policeman. They generally have a bad impression of the police."

Madoka warned again very conscientiously.

There was no words all the way, and after nearly three hours of sea breeze, the speedboat stopped at a pier in Xiaoyazhou Village.

Su Hao stood on the speedboat and looked towards the island. The area of ​​the island was less than one square kilometer, and its distribution was extremely irregular. It was divided into two parts, east and west, connected by a flat isthmus. The west was higher, with two hills, and a row of hills extended to the east. The ridge, about 15 meters high, is dark red in color and is called red rock.

The tallest building on the island is the lighthouse built on the hillside.

All the buildings are distributed in the southwest corner. Looking out over the vast shack area, they are all black leather houses and wooden houses, with the only brick house standing at the edge.

Su Hao pointed towards the brick house, "Is that the village chief Atai's home?"

"No, that's the only power plant on the island. Atai's house is next to it. It's a two-story wooden house. There is a small yard at the door with a row of fish hanging on it. You can see it when you go over."

"Here's a bottle of water and cookies. Remember, don't eat anything they give you."

After parking the speedboat, Xiao Yuan threw a bottle of water and a bag of biscuits to Su Hao. Finally, he lay down on the armchair and took out a magazine from nowhere. He kept complaining: "This place is broken. , the mobile phone signal only has three bars, and it’s hard to watch the video. Except for regular patrols and when someone calls the police, we basically won’t come here.”

Su Hao waved his hand back and led the guy to the island.

In addition to the doll and the black umbrella he held in his hands, he also had a backpack on his back, which contained a walkie-talkie, food and water, and his side gun.

As for his identity when he went to the island this time, he had naturally already thought about it.

After stepping on the rock, Su Hao took a breath and walked along the gravel road on the pier towards the shack area.

More than ten minutes later, Su Hao arrived at the only brick house on the island, which was the so-called power plant. Going forward was a row of wooden houses.

As the village chief on the island, Atai's house is very conspicuous among a row of wooden houses. In addition to the two-story wooden house, there is also a yard covering an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters outside. It seems that there is only one house with this kind of structure.

The wooden racks in the yard were filled with rows of dried sea fish, as well as a few changes of bright red clothes.

A seven or eight-year-old girl with pigtails was playing in the courtyard. Su Hao knocked on the courtyard door and chatted up, "I'm looking for the village chief Atai. Is he at home?"

The girl stood up in a hurry, glanced at Su Hao, and rushed into the house in panic. A moment later, a dark-skinned middle-aged woman appeared in the yard.

She babbled a lot, but Su Hao couldn't understand a word.

In desperation, she had no choice but to take out Artest's business card and wave it in front of her eyes.

The woman nodded, signaled Su Hao not to leave, and quickly returned to the house.

After waiting for another four to five minutes, a dark-skinned man about 5 meters tall, wearing a hat and a vest and jeans appeared outside the yard. He glanced at Su Hao suspiciously and said, "What do you want? "

Su Hao understood the language this time.

Su Hao returned the business card to him, "I came from Kowloon, looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Find someone who can cast a spell."

The expression on Atai's face changed drastically. He turned his head and glanced slightly panicked, motioning the woman to lead the girl in, and then came to a shack by the yard.

Su Hao followed in from behind and found that this was a simple kitchen.

The other party sat down on the wooden table, poured a bowl of water for Su Hao, and asked quietly: "Are you a policeman?"

Su Hao immediately shook his head, "No."

"Then why do you have my business card?"

"A friend gave it to me. I came here to find someone to make a deal with."

After speaking, Su Hao took out two bundles of Hong Kong dollars from his backpack, took out one of the 1000 Hong Kong dollars and handed it to Artai, "Please help me introduce it."

Artai did not accept the money, but just waved his hand and said: "I'm not familiar with them, and I don't know you either. If you're looking for someone, just go ahead. The family with the biggest yard in the slum area won't give it away."

Another 10 minutes later, Su Hao appeared in the slum area. He found that many people he met along the way, whether they were men, women, old or young, were looking at him with vigilance and ill-intentioned eyes.

This place has become another world isolated from Hong Kong Island.

The place Artai pointed to was right in front of Su Hao. From time to time, a woman would come out holding a baby on the road. In addition to the salty sea breeze, there was also a smell of medicinal herbs in the air around her.

In addition to some dry medicinal materials that were dried, there were also several live lambs tied up in this courtyard, which was incompatible with the fishing atmosphere on the entire island.

Su Hao's brows twitched, knowing that he came to the right place.

He walked inside with one step.

Su Hao's appearance at this time was obviously not from the island. Immediately, a short and stocky young man with bare arms came up to ask, and as usual there was another burst of giggling.

"I'm looking for the master who casts the curse here. I have a deal to discuss."

Su Hao showed the Hong Kong dollars in his arms.

Although the young man did not understand the meaning of Su Hao's words, he still recognized the Hong Kong currency. He thought Su Hao wanted to see a doctor and took Su Hao inside on his own initiative.

The further inside, the stronger the herbal smell became, mixed with a hint of other smells. This smell was familiar to Su Hao, it was similar to the smell of rotten meat.

Su Hao took another two steps forward and suddenly stopped. He pointed backwards apologetically, indicating to the other party that he had anything else to do and would come back later.

After that, he turned around and left regardless of whether the other party could understand his gestures.

Now that he had determined the place and the time was not right, he decided to come back at night.

There were many fishing boats parked beside the pier before. If the other party wanted to go out to sea temporarily, they would definitely pass by the pier. Su Hao simply didn't have to worry.

During the day, there are many people and many methods are difficult for him to use.

Su Hao originally planned to return to the speedboat to rest, but he took a look around and stopped at the lighthouse on the top of the mountain.

He temporarily changed his mind and decided to wait at the lighthouse.

When Su Hao set off towards the lighthouse, what he didn't know was that there were already several figures in the yard he entered just now, and they all looked at his back with doubts from behind.

Chapter 190 The art of flying down

The lighthouse is built on the highest slope in Xiaoyazhou Village.

It takes 300 meters to climb up from the shack area. Most of the steps are covered with rocks. An S-shaped staircase has been cut out in the middle, winding and extending from bottom to top.

Normal times are good, but if it's rainy or windy, it will roll down if you're not careful.

After Xiao Yuan reminded him, Su Hao now distrusted all the residents of Xiaoyazhou Village, including the village chief Atai. He needed to stay until dark and find a place to rest that was sheltered from the wind and rain.

Why not choose to return to the speedboat?

Su Hao was worried that this would put Madoka in a dangerous environment.

Even without looking back, Su Hao could realize that every move he made was under the watchful eyes of others, as if there were countless pairs of eyes hidden behind him watching him.

The speedboat was Su Hao's only escape route, and Su Hao didn't want to draw attention to the speedboat too early.

There was a straight line distance of 300 meters. Su Hao walked for 20 minutes holding a doll and an umbrella before reaching the top. There was a small square of four to five square meters around the lighthouse. The door was open and there was no one inside.

In addition to the strong smell of sea, there is also a hint of blood in the air.

Su Hao sniffed and climbed up to look far away. He found that the back of the lighthouse was a steep cliff close to 80 degrees. There were some protrusions and cracks in the middle. It was nearly 50 meters away from the gravel beach at the bottom. This was Xiaoyazhou. It is the highest altitude place in the village.

A little further away from the gravel beach is the shallow beach.

Looking around from here, it is a vast expanse of white. Xiaoyazhou Village is like a solitary boat floating in the sea, while the shack area below is like a barn board on the solitary boat.

Su Hao found that no one was following him, so he directly carried the doll and got into the lighthouse.

The bottom hall was less than 20 square meters in area, only slightly larger than his living room. There were some stones, ropes and wooden sticks thrown on the ground. The previous bloody smell came from these ropes and wooden sticks.

Su Hao searched around suspiciously and his eyes fell on the circular stairs beside the wall of the hall.

The lighthouse is about 30 meters high and looks like a hollowed-out bamboo shoot in the middle. Only a ladder embedded in the middle of the wall connects the ground to the top of the tower.

Su Hao pressed down with his hand and found that the stairs were quite strong. He didn't stop for a long time and walked directly up with the doll in his arms. However, he directly put the black umbrella away and placed it in the hall on the first floor.

After another four or five minutes, Su Hao climbed to the top of the tower and found a small attic above. The attic was made of wooden boards and had two observation windows about one meter above the ground. The sealed top of the tower.

Su Hao placed the doll against the wall, took off his backpack, took out the walkie-talkie inside, and then turned on the switch. There was a burst of noise in the air after the signal was connected.

"Xiaoyuan, I'm Su Hao. I'm at the lighthouse on the island now. I'm going to take a rest here before taking action at night."

"If you find anything, you can always notify me via the intercom."

Madoka's voice came from the intercom, "Copy that, are you at the bottom of the tower or the top?"

"I'm at the top of the tower."

"Then you should be able to see me, right?"

Su Hao stood up and looked down through a window, and sure enough he spotted the speedboat parked on the pier. The speedboat was as small as a leaf under an adult's feet.

"I saw it. Remember to call us via the intercom if anything happens."

"Did you find the suspect you were looking for?"

"I didn't find it directly, but my intuition told me that the other party is in the shack area on the island."

The two communicated for a few more words, and Su Hao took the opportunity to replenish food and water. The wooden boards on the top of the tower were covered with a thin layer of white ash. After a little cleaning, Su Hao sat on the ground and leaned against the tower wall to take a nap.

When he closed his eyes, he felt the entire lighthouse shaking slightly.

Silence soon returned to the top of the tower, except for the occasional sporadic noise coming from the intercom.

It's getting dark.

Su Hao rarely slept on the top of the tower.

He suddenly felt a little stuffy in front of his nose and almost sneezed. When he opened his eyes, he found a piece of paper floating in front of his nose.

Su Hao said to the air in front of him: "Xiaomei, stop making trouble and go back to the doll."

Su Hao closed his eyes again. When he opened them again, there was a humanoid black shadow in front of his eyes. It was Xiaomei, the helper he invited this time.

Xiaomei leaned close to Su Hao's ear and whispered: "There is someone coming from the bottom of the tower."

"Oh."
