On the tram, Bi Fang and Mu Galen, who were wearing masks, stood back to back, raising their eyes hard and pretending not to care about the female high school students on the tram.
After getting out of the car, Bi Fang found that the sweatshirt in front of Mu Jialun was completely soaked, and asked in confusion: "Can't you be more natural?"
"It's my first time being a thief. I'm a little nervous." Mu Jialun secretly raised his head and looked around. He always felt as if someone was staring at him.
On the way here, Bi Fang told Mu Jialun everything.
As a half-friend, Mu Galen is worthy of trust. If he makes it clear now, he might be able to help later.
Bi Fang disagreed: "To be honest, they are the thieves."
Mu Jialun looked up to the sky and sighed: "I never thought in my wildest dreams that you were not going to kill the black bear, but to save the dolphins. If I had known, the devil would have followed you here."
I thought there was something different about Taiji Town in Wakayama Prefecture. Maybe it was a black bear gathering place that I didn't see, but I found out after hearing about it.
It's all bullshit!
Now that I'm on the pirate ship, I can't leave even if I want to.
Bi Fang walked out of the station and saw the lush mountain forest. They were on a road surrounding the mountain. Standing here, they could overlook most of the town.
Taiji Town is a bay with a very beautiful environment, surrounded by low mountains, and the coastal scenery is spectacular.
Mu Galen was initially shocked that such atrocities could occur in such a beautiful place.
Perhaps the word hunter often means hunting, but those who have obtained formal qualifications understand the importance of rare animals better.
This is a tourist attraction, not only has a protected area park, but also has many famous temples, which are also among the best in Japan.
In one of the temples, there is a stone courtyard. The monks rake the stones flat, and there are several rocks in the middle of the courtyard for people from all over the world to come and watch.
Bi Fang looked through the telescope and saw the temple that Richard pointed to.
The temple is not high, and is very elegantly built. The eaves are connected and spread out, and the sunlight reflected on the smooth tiles is like ocean waves.
Looking down, the overhanging eaves blocked most of the sunlight, making the room dark, but you could clearly see that there were many people walking around inside, maybe tourists.
There is an open space in front of the building, and the ground is full of densely packed cobblestones. The monks used tyers to sort the stones into a regular layer. Among these small pebbles, there are several rocks standing in different places. At the feet of the rocks
Green grass grew.
Tourists took pictures of those stones. A breeze blew by, and the wind chimes under the eaves swayed slightly. Even if they couldn't hear it, they seemed to make a tinkling sound in their ears, which was quite Zen-like.
Bi Fang found it very interesting.
People there look at stones, but little do they know that stones can also look at people.
"In our country, no one comes here on Sunday to look at rocks." Mu Jialun was amazed and turned to look at Bifang, "So what are we doing now?"
"Wait for Richard and the others." Bifang leaned against the railing and continued to observe the surroundings.
Investigation is the first step in all actions.
"By the way, since you are in the dark and you are in the light, why do we have to wear masks? Can't we just be aboveboard?" Mu Galen was puzzled.
"Richard and the others are also coming today. To be on the safe side, it's best not to appear in front of everyone together on the same day."
Bi Fang looked towards the coast. There was a fishing boat that had just returned to port. The owner of the restaurant was riding a motorcycle and carrying a basket of fish onto the car. You could even see the smile on his face.
Many local fishermen keep the phone numbers of some local restaurant owners in order to sell the freshest big fish for a good price, while most of the rest are put into frozen containers.
Most of these fish catches go to Tsukiji, which is the largest fish market in Japan and even the world.
Bi Fang murmured: "It's going to rain."
Mu Jialun looked up at the sky, which was clear and clear, and asked in surprise: "How do you know?"
Not all weather can be judged by clouds. For example, during a heavy rain, dark clouds may suddenly drift over. Such weather changes can only be detected by meteorological satellites, and cannot be known by human power alone.
Did Bi Fang secretly check the weather forecast?
"They told me." Bi Fang stretched out his hand and pointed at the fishing boat returning to the port.
"It's noon now. Fishing boats go out to sea mainly to watch the wind, and it has nothing to do with time. Sometimes they go out to sea in the middle of the night, and it's even less certain to return to port. But now there are more than one fishing boat returning to port, and some even don't catch much fish.
"
Bi Fang stretched out his hand on the roadside, and the wind passed between his fingers, flying to the sea: "Look, it is a favorable wind now. It is easy to leave the port with smooth wind and smooth water, and can easily reach the fishing area. Fishing boats should go out to sea instead of returning to the port in twos and threes."
, so it is only possible that they heard the weather forecast and returned to Hong Kong in advance."
"A heavy rainstorm is coming."
Mu Galen was silent for a moment.
Although he still knew the changes indirectly through the weather forecast, but...why did he feel so awesome?
As a hunter, how can you show off?
As if to verify Bi Fang's statement, within half an hour, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and leaden gray clouds drifted from the land to the sea. It only took a few minutes from the time the clouds were seen to the time it got dark.
The wind suddenly picked up.
White light flashed through the thick clouds, thunder exploded, and rain suddenly poured down, rushing towards them.
People on the streets were running around in the narrow lanes, hurried back home, and closed their doors and windows.
Mu Jialun looked confused. He looked blankly at Bifang, who had his foot on the guardrail: "Did you bring an umbrella?"
Bi Fang fell silent and slowly shook his head.
An embarrassing thing happened, neither of them brought an umbrella.
Fortunately, the two of them were not embarrassed to the end. As they ran down the mountain, a blast of horns saved them.
Richard and the others are here.
"Phew, thank you, I almost got wet."
Bi Fang took the towel handed over by Mandy and wiped his wet hair.
It's really embarrassing. The rainy days usually last from late June to mid-July. When Bi Fang saw that it was sunny today, he thought the rainy days were over, so he didn't think of bringing an umbrella. Facts have taught him a lesson.
After introducing Mu Galen to everyone, both parties quickly accepted each other.
As long as they are here to help, then everyone is a good friend.
The car that Richard and others drove was a nine-seater commercial vehicle, which could accommodate everyone just right.
"Good opportunity. It's raining heavily now and there are no people on the road." Mu Jalun looked at the road ahead and found that there were fewer vehicles.
Bi Fang nodded. It was indeed a good opportunity to go in and take a look now.
Richard nodded, and everyone quickly headed towards the town.
Just after halfway around the hill, Mu Jalun rubbed his eyes, rolled down the window and looked back, pointing at the dolphin sculpture behind him with a puzzled look on his face: "Am I right? They are erecting a sculpture for the dolphin?"
"You read that right." Bi Fang pointed forward. This is what they didn't see just now, the other half of Taiji Town behind the mountain.
Dolphin Paradise.
When driving into Taiji Town, it feels very strange.
There are sculptures of dolphins everywhere, the welcome paintings on the walls are covered with dolphins, there is a fountain riding a dolphin in the middle of the park lake, and a huge whale tail leaps from the ground, making Mugalen, an outsider who knows the truth, feel like he has entered.
"The Twilight Zone."
There are floor tiles facing dolphins on the sidewalk, and even on the distant sea, you can see several dolphin-style cruise ships.
Mu Jialun smiled bitterly: "If I didn't know better, I might really think this is a dolphin paradise."
After driving halfway, Richard pointed to a building in the distance with huge patterns of whales and dolphins and said, "Did you see the building over there? That's the Cetacean Museum in Taiji Town. It's the most beautiful place in my life."
A place of hate.”
Richard was very frustrated. Each of them put on a mask because they were worried about being recognized by the residents of the town. In this Asian land, Western faces were too abrupt.
If you didn't know better, you might have thought that this car of people was some kind of medical team.
“In Taiji Town, when you go to the ‘Cetacean Museum’, you can watch a dolphin show, buy fluffy dolphin dolls, and finally have a meal made of dolphin meat.”
Richard's words made everyone present feel terrified.
How crazy is it to watch a dolphin show and then eat the flesh of their own species?
"They sell whale meat and dolphin meat naked in the dolphinarium."
Such an industrial chain allowed the massacre to continue year after year, and the fishermen were generously rewarded for their bad behavior.
"Each dead dolphin is only worth 600 dollars, but when sold to the Cetacean Museum, it costs 150,000 dollars. The Taiji Cetacean Museum acts as a middleman, and the city government and fishermen divide the profits."
"Iki was also a tourist attraction in Japan, but they also slaughtered dolphins. It is no exaggeration to say that thousands of dolphins may be killed in one day."
"I went there again three years ago, but there were no dolphins there anymore. Twenty years ago, there were thousands of dolphins near the coastline. Now, they are gone."
Richard turned the steering wheel, walked out of a small tunnel, and officially entered the small town of Taiji.
"All cetaceans known to mankind will suffer the disaster of extinction as long as they come close to Japan..."
