"Miss Gong, we are already at the beach thirty kilometers southeast. There seems to be a typhoon today. Can... can we go out?"
At Gong Xiaoxiao's insistence, Ye Tian and his party went to the hotel's underground parking lot, but when the driver heard that they were going southeast, his face turned pale with fright.
In Taiwan, typhoons are more harmful than earthquakes. They cause a large number of casualties and industrial and agricultural losses to the Taiwan area every year. Therefore, whenever a typhoon comes, few people are willing to go out.
"It's okay, Aguo, just drive slower, I must go out today!"
At this time, Gong Xiaoxiao was almost paranoid. Missing her husband made her forget everything. She just wanted to find Fu Yi's body as soon as possible and bring him back to Hong Kong.
"Miss Gong, I'm actually not in a hurry for this day." Ye Tian sighed. He also felt very bad today. He always felt that something was going to happen after he went out.
Gong Xiaoxiao shook her head and said with a sad face: "Master Ye, I have been waiting for eight years and I really can't wait any longer. Please take me there?"
Ye Tian waved his hand, interrupted Gong Xiaoxiao's words, and asked the driver: "Master, where is the place thirty kilometers southeast?"
The driver Aguo gave a wry smile and said: "That's a port and fishing village. Gao Xiong's seafood is all landed from there. It's not a big deal to go there normally, but this weather..."
Gong Xiaoxiao begged bitterly: "Aguo, there is no typhoon forecast today, it's just that the rain is a bit heavy, just take us there. Don't worry, Xiaoxiao will never treat everyone badly."
"Okay, but if there is really a typhoon, we will be back right away!"
After the driver thought for a while, he nodded and agreed. After all, Gong Xiaoxiao was his big boss. If the car really didn't come out today, I'm afraid he wouldn't want to work in her company anymore.
"Okay, when this thing is over, everyone will have a red envelope of 500,000 yuan!"
After hearing what the driver said, a smile appeared on Gong Xiaoxiao's face. She was not such a shallow person originally, but at this time it seemed that she could only express her gratitude with money.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Gong Xiaoxiao shouted out a red envelope of 500,000 yuan. Not only the driver's face showed a satisfied look, but the bodyguards also had smiles on their faces. If they went out to take a shower in the rain, they could earn 500,000 yuan.
, this money is not earned in vain.
The car slowly drove out of the hotel's underground parking lot. As soon as it came to the open air, the water from the heavy downpour was like a small river, pouring down the car window. The transparent glass suddenly seemed to have an extra layer of frost.
The scenery outside the window became blurry.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was like a huge bead curtain was hung between the sky and the earth. It was misty, with lightning and thunder, and heavy rain, and it was pouring down fiercely as if the Milky Way had burst its mouth.
It was only noon at this time, and the sky was already overcast like midnight. Even with the headlights on, I couldn't see ten meters ahead. Fortunately, the driver was experienced, and the car moved slowly in the rain at a speed not much faster than walking.
With.
The minibus drove for more than two hours for a distance of more than 30 kilometers. When the car arrived at the beach, the rain was much lighter than before, but the roaring waves and roaring sea seemed to be rushing towards the port.
, which makes people tremble with fear.
"Okay, let's stop here."
Looking at the huge waves that kept hitting the port, Ye Tian's face became a little ugly. No matter how powerful you are, you may not be able to withstand the impact of the huge waves. Human power seems so insignificant under the power of heaven and earth.
"Master Ye, my late husband...where are my late husband's remains?"
Gong Xiaoxiao saw Ye Tian looking towards the sea, and his face instantly turned pale. If Fu Yi's body was in the sea, the hope of finding it would be slim.
"Wait a moment!"
Ye Tian waved his hand and took out the compass. After a trace of true energy was injected into it, the magnetic needle in the middle of the compass began to rotate slowly. After a while, the magnetic needle pointed in one direction.
Ye Tian shouted to the driver: "Drive over there, about two kilometers!"
"good!"
After hearing what Ye Tian said, the driver quickly reversed the car and drove in the direction pointed by Ye Tian. He parked the car at the port and looked at the huge waves. The pressure on people's hearts was not ordinary.
Three hundred meters out of the port, the road suddenly became muddy and much narrower than before. After about half an hour of bumpy driving, a small fishing village near the seaside appeared in front of us.
The harm caused by the heavy rain was directly reflected in the fishing village. Many middle-aged men were braving the rain to repair the roofs that were blown up by the strong wind. Children were running and shouting in the rain. The whole village showed a busy scene.
I saw a car parked at the entrance of the village in the rain. An old man came over holding an umbrella, followed by a group of curious children.
"Old man, come up and talk." Ye Tian asked the driver to open the door and asked the old man to get in the car.
Listening to the Mandarin spoken by Ye Tian, the old man hesitated and asked: "Where are you... from?"
Although Mandarin is also spoken in Taiwan, the more popular ones are Hokkien and the local dialect of Taiwan. The locals do not speak Mandarin to each other. As soon as Ye Tian opened his mouth, the old man could tell where he came from.
.
"Old man, we came from Hong Kong."
Ye Tian took out a bag of snacks from the car and gave them to the children, which immediately made the old man feel good. He said with a smile: "Welcome friends from Hong Kong. I wonder what you want to do when you come to our fishing village?"
Ye Tian didn't hide anything, and said straight to the point: "Old man, there is something I want to ask you to confirm. A few years ago, did your village salvage dead people floating in the sea?"
At this time, the compass needle indicated that this place was less than 500 meters away from where Fu Yi's bones were buried. However, if he led a group of men to dig graves near other people's villages, they would definitely be beaten out.
"Dead people?" The old man was stunned when he heard this, "We can salvage a lot of dead people here every year. Which year are you specifically talking about?"
I don’t know if it’s a problem with the flow of sea water, but on the beach of this fishing village, some dead bodies of shipwrecks float over every year, and many family members of the victims have come here to search for them.
Therefore, after hearing Ye Tian's words, the old man felt relieved about their purpose, "Young man, please make it clear, otherwise I won't be able to remember it."
Ye Tian glanced at Gong Xiaoxiao and said, "Old man, it should have been around April or May of 1990. The victim was a man in his fifties. Can you still remember it?"
The old man frowned and thought for a long time, shook his head apologetically, and said: "1990, that was a long time ago. I really can't remember clearly. Every year, more than ten dead people float ashore.
Come on, most of them are men."
After this person dies and is soaked in sea water, his whole body will become swollen, making it impossible to judge his age based on his appearance.
Ye Tian reminded: "Old man, this dead man should have been put in a sack. Can you remember it?"
According to Ye Tian's deduction, Fu Yi should have been killed first, then put in a sack, entered the high seas and thrown into the sea. Under normal circumstances, his body should have been in the sack.
The old man shook his head and asserted: "No, there is absolutely no dead person floating over in a sack. I remember this old man clearly!"
"Huh?" Ye Tian frowned when he heard this, "Could it be that the sack was not tied tightly and was washed away by the sea water?"
"Old man, where are the victims buried? Can you point them to us?"
In fact, when he came here, Ye Tian didn't need anyone's guidance at all. He asked the old man about his purpose, just to let him not stop him from digging the cemetery later.
After hearing what Ye Tian said, the old man pointed to the back of the village and said, "The back is on that hillside. I'm afraid at least more than a hundred people have been buried over the years, right?"
This small fishing village has existed for a long time. When they first encountered a floating corpse, they would report it to the relevant departments, but the relevant departments could not find any clues about the body's life.
As time passed, the villagers became too lazy to report the matter and usually buried the floating corpses on the hillside behind the village. Over the years, the hillside behind the village had turned into a mass grave.
Ye Tian showed the compass in his hand and said, "Old man, this lady has a relative buried there. I want to find him. Is it possible?"
"It turns out that I am a Feng Shui master. Yes, of course, I will have someone take you there!"
In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the treatment of Feng Shui masters is completely opposite to that in the Mainland. From the rich and senior officials to the common people, this profession is highly respected.
The old man held an umbrella and greeted a group of children out of the car. Not long after the meeting, a middle-aged man in his thirties ran over wearing a poncho and said, "The car can't drive up. You have to walk with me."
"Okay, everyone get out of the car!"
Ye Tian nodded, put on his poncho and got out of the car. The rain at this time was much lighter than before, but the rain made the ground extremely muddy. If he stepped on it, the mud and water would submerge his ankles.
at.
The road was muddy and slippery. Following the middle-aged man, the bodyguards, except Ye Tian, fell several times.
Not to mention Gong Xiaoxiao, the white dress she wore specially had already turned gray and wrinkled and clung to her body.
Although the distance was only three to four hundred meters, everyone still walked for more than half an hour. After arriving on the hillside, Ye Tian took a deep breath, wiped the rain off his face, and turned the compass into his palm——
"Hey, I'm Aguo. I'm in the fishing village now, which is two kilometers away from the port. They have all gone up the mountain. Yes, Master Ye has followed up the mountain!"
Ye Tian, who was surveying Fu Yi's body on the mountain, didn't know that the driver who stayed in the car made a call at this time.
