In other words, before seeing the information Drizzt gave him, Lu Tiao had never seen these two people.
This is normal. If Lu Jian finds out that this couple is someone he has known before, it will further prove that this is just a fictional world, because Lu Jian has never come into contact with this business couple in the real world.
Logically, they should be in their fifties, but they appear older. This may be due to premature aging caused by the pain of losing a child.
They were obviously Chinese. They were wearing Hawaiian shirts and shorts, and their expressions were calm but slightly nervous.
"This is Mr. Zou Changyu and his wife, Ms. Sun Shuzhi. The villa over there should be his family's property."
Drizzt explained.
Although it is midsummer and the sun shines directly into the equator, it does not feel hot on the island. The slightly fishy sea breeze blows away the heat and makes you feel cool.
Lu Tiao suddenly felt like he was on a mission in a foreign land, but now he no longer had the cold and indifferent text prompts of the Quiet Land, and no all kinds of weird and wonderful extraordinary powers. He had to rely on himself for everything.
He looked at the luxurious villa on the mountain. Although it was under the sun, the villa looked slightly eerie.
Years of exposure to wind and rain have left the building's exterior covered with mottled marks. Some moss grows lushly in the corners that are protected from light, while the parts that have been burned by the sun for many years are dull and even cracked.
"Damn rich people."
Drizzt couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Jian read relevant information on the plane that arrived. The main business scope of Zou Changyu's company is foreign trade, commerce, etc. It initially made cheap daily necessities, clothes, etc., and later started to make machinery and equipment, minerals, porcelain, and jade.
, with the east wind of the past few years, the business has been booming and it has quickly become a big enterprise.
Although it's a bit of a joke to say this, his family has indeed taken off since losing his son.
Most of the islands in the Pacific were created by submarine volcanic eruptions and violent geological movements. The characteristic is that most of the islands have a mountain in the center. The villa is located on the top of a low mountain. I don’t know if the mountains here are relatively flat to begin with.
, or human construction directly flattened the top of the mountain.
This island is not big and can be easily overlooked by a private plane. The residents on the island have already experienced the baptism of civilization, or they are just later immigrants. The aboriginal people have long become tombstones of the great nautical discoveries.
Buried somewhere on this island.
The most commonly used means of transportation on the island is a battery car. Lu Jian took a look and saw that it was a domestic brand.
It seems that Zou Changyu and his wife really brought domestic products out of the sea.
"Although I really want to talk to the police comrades about our children, we are tired from traveling, so we should go back to the house first."
Zou Changyu asked the driver to drive a six-seater business car and loaded up Lu Jian and others. He and his wife rode a scooter and led the way ahead.
Arriving at the door of the villa, Lu Tiao raised his head and looked at the window of the villa.
The windows here were all open, and the curtains were fluttering in the wind. His eyes swept across, and suddenly, he saw a young man looking in front of one of the windows.
Looking back, there were only light-colored curtains fluttering, and there was not a single figure at all.
"What's wrong?"
Amber asked from the side.
"Mr. Zou, do you have any relatives living here?"
Lu Tan asked directly without hesitation.
"No, there is no one except some aunties who are responsible for cleaning and cooking. What's wrong?"
Zou Changyu asked rhetorically.
"I just saw a young man on the second floor."
Lu Tan pointed to the house.
"That's the guest room. No one is staying there. Maybe it's the cleaning lady?"
Zou Changyu was slightly confused.
"Please don't take it to heart, let's go in first."
Drizzt said hurriedly. He was carrying a box. The box didn't look big, but it was a bit heavy. It had three layers inside and three layers outside, which tightly bound the jade pendant inside so that it would not affect the outside world.
Walking into the villa, the dank feeling became more and more obvious. In a place where there was no sunlight, Lu Jian felt like Taoist Heming's Rainstorm Villa, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
He saw that there seemed to be water stains on the wooden handrail of the stairs, but when he reached out to touch it, it was dry again. Everything seemed to be an illusion.
I don't know if it was due to a design problem that the lights had to be turned on in the room to make it appear brighter. Without rushing to investigate, they were taken to the guest room first.
Lu Tiao simulated it roughly and quickly found the room he saw just now.
He unscrewed the slightly loose door handle and looked inside.
The house also smelled of dampness, but there was nothing strange about it, it was just a clean room.
"I sleep in this room."
Lu Tan said and put the bag directly on the bed.
"Then I'll sleep in the room next door."
Amber said immediately.
Lu Tan suspected that if there wasn't only one bed in the house, she might have slept in her own room.
Several people decided on the room. Drizzt lived in the room closest to the stairs, next to Lu Jian, and beyond that was Amber. The door opposite to Amber was Hongye, while Shia lived in the door opposite to Lu Jian.
He Youwu and Chen Salvia did not live in the villa. They came to the island as individuals and stayed in a small hotel at the dock as support.
After packing their things, a few people went downstairs and came to the restaurant.
Drizzt was holding the box in his hand, and there was no way he would let it leave his side.
Zou Changyu and his wife are already waiting here, along with some light meals and snacks.
After a long journey, this group of young people were almost hungry, especially foodies like Shia, who started gobbling up their food immediately after saying hello.
"Mr. Zou, our visit this time is mainly about a case ten years ago."
Drizzt did not eat, but looked at the two of them and said.
"We heard that the criminal who killed our child has been brought to justice."
Zou Changyu said, while he was speaking, he held his wife's hand, and the mother was trembling a little, as if everything happened yesterday.
"Thank you very much for being able to catch the criminal after so long."
He said sincerely.
If someone else had said it in another tone, it might have sounded a bit weird, but Drizzt could tell that Zou Changyu was indeed serious.
It is difficult to catch people who commit crimes on the run, not to mention that the criminal has rarely committed similar crimes in the future. It was not until recently that he couldn't help but kill people. If it weren't for Lu Jian, the other party would have escaped by now, so it would be great to catch the criminal.
"Originally, I wanted to give some bonuses as a thank you gift, but considering that you are all public officials, you should not be able to accept the money, so I have to give it up."
Zou Changyu said.
"It's okay. I'm not a public official. I'm just an ordinary college student. You can give me a bonus."
