There was an isolated island in the open sea of Quliang City, Tongjiang Province. The island was located at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the South China Sea. In the early days of liberation, the naval forces of our country were stationed here. The officers and soldiers of the army named the island Yongjin Island, symbolizing the soldiers' courage to move forward and never retreat.
With the passage of time, the local residents gradually confused the original meaning of the word, and called the island Yongjin Island. Instead of moving forward bravely, they called the island Yongjin Island.
However, with the passage of time, this uninhabited island, far from land, had been gradually forgotten by people, and no one pursued its true meaning.
Whoosh …
Above the vast sea, the waves were rolling, and the wind was strong.
At this moment, it was the break of dawn. The sun peeked out from the distant horizon. It had yet to illuminate the entire surface of the sea, but it only illuminated a white arc in the distance. This was what people often referred to as the dawn of the fish belly.
"Oh … Oh …" There was a flat land near the south of the island. At this moment, a woman's faint moan suddenly came from there.
The woman's name was Li Qian. She was an actress who had come to Yongjin Island with the film crew ten days ago, and she was the leading actress.
"Oh …" Li Qian felt dizzy and her eyelids were heavy, as if she had drunk too much.
Although Li Qian was the leading actress, she was not a famous actress. In fact, the crew she was in was not even a third-rate one.
Sometimes, in order to get a chance to perform, she had to drink with some directors and investors. Every time, she would get drunk, so she was very familiar with the feeling of being drunk.
However, she could still vaguely remember that she had been filming on the island these days and had not drunk at all. Last night, she had just slept a little late.
What's wrong … My head hurts …
"Oh …" In a daze, Li Qian wanted to stretch and pinch her forehead. However, when she subconsciously stretched her arms, she found that her arms were tied by something and could not move at all.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, an instinctive sense of fear arose. She struggled hard again, but she still could not move.
Then, she suddenly felt her body shaking and weightless, as if she was not lying on the bed, but … but … suspended in the air!
What's wrong?
Alarmed, she finally opened her eyes! The first thing she saw was a weak fire not far from her feet. The fire was used by the film crew for warmth. At this moment, the fire had basically been extinguished, and there was no one around the fire …
But …
Why was the bonfire under his feet?
"Oh … Ah! Ah!? "
Suddenly, Li Qian was horrified to find that she was standing on something high. Not only were her arms tied behind her, but there was also a thick hemp rope around her neck!
"Ah!?"
In her shock, she lost her balance and tilted her body. She almost kicked the thing under her feet! In an instant, she felt her throat tighten, and she was almost unable to breathe!
Ooh … ooh … ooh … ooh …
Li Qian was trembling with fear. She quickly stood on her tiptoes and tried to regain her balance. Although she couldn't see clearly what she was stepping on, she could guess that it was a folding ladder used by the film crew!
"What … What's going on … Ah …" Li Qian suddenly realized that someone had not only tied her hands, but had also hung her high in the air and tied a noose around her neck, as if she was being hanged!
If the ladder under her feet turned over, she would be strangled by the rope!
"Ah … Ah …" Li Qian quickly stepped on the ladder with her feet, not daring to move at all. She tried to call for help. "Hey … Help … Help … Is anyone there? Could it be … could it be that you guys are making fun of me? Stop playing around and save me. This isn't a joke. Come out, come out … "
However, after she shouted a few times, there was still no response from the island. Even the waves that had been beating against the reef had become silent because of the ebb of the tide.
"No, no, no …" Li Qian was trembling with fear, tears streaming down her face. After a while, she began to raise her voice and shout into the distance, "Hey! Is anyone there? Is there anyone there? I beg you, I beg you, please don't play anymore, you'll kill someone … "
Just as Li Qian was shouting, a bleak sea breeze suddenly blew over from the sea. As the sea breeze blew, Li Qian suddenly discovered that on the right side of her body, there was a shadow swaying with the wind.
She hurriedly turned her head, and when she looked, she was so scared that her hair stood on end. Two meters to her right, there was a person hanging in the air. It was a person who had been hung for a long time!!!
"Ah …"
The horrifying and ear-piercing screams reverberated throughout the entire island. However, the island was still deathly silent, and there was no response at all …
…
10 am, Shun Feng Street, Qinshan.
"Ah …"
Zhao Yu yawned and lazily put the packed luggage in the trunk of the Land Rover. The trunk of the Land Rover was big enough, so there was still a lot of space left in the trunk after the luggage was put in.
"Woof woof …" Daheng barked a few times at Zhao Yu's feet. It seemed to have realized something and was very reluctant.
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Yu patted the dog's head and said angrily, "Who told you to hurt so many bitches in the village and make my mother angry? You deserve it! "
"Boss!" Ran Tao suddenly poked his head out from the back seat. "Is this okay? We are going to investigate a case, but you brought such a big dog with you. Um … Can this dog help us solve the case? "
When Ran Tao said this, Zeng Ke and Wu Xiumin couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, don't underestimate it!" Zhao Yu pointed to Daheng and said, "This guy has helped me solve a lot of cases! Remember the Bank Hidden Corpse Case that I told you about? If it hadn't helped me find some fresh people … Um … "
How could Zhao Yu say the word "sh * t"?
"Fresh what?" Ran Tao asked.
"Fresh footprints!" Zhao Yu quickly changed his words.
"Humph! Your dog is amazing! " Wu Xiumin complained in the car. "Other dogs are used to smell, but your dog can actually recognize footprints!"
"No! Cough! Anyway … I can't do anything about it! " Zhao Yu said helplessly. "This dog is in heat, and it has caused a lot of trouble in the village. No one cares about it, so it has to come with me to solve the case! "
"Woof woof …" Daheng barked a few times, as if it could understand Zhao Yu's words.
Wu Xiumin pouted. "Team Leader, aren't you afraid that this dog will hurt us?"
"Sigh, the dog really follows its owner. The dog is so fierce, and our team leader is also fierce … Mm …" Ran Tao was frightened by Zhao Yu's murderous gaze, so he quickly bit his lip and got into the car!
Daheng was also a coward. When it saw Zhao Yu raise his eyebrows, it quickly jumped into the trunk.
The Beiqian area, where the Devil Case had taken place, was adjacent to Longxi Province, which was only 400 kilometers away from Qinshan. Zhao Yu thought that it would be more convenient to drive there himself. Besides, he had to take Daheng with him, so he couldn't take any other means of transportation.
After the car started, Ran Tao, who was sitting in the back seat, kept smacking his lips. When the car was on the highway, he couldn't help but ask, "Team Leader, when I was a child, I read about the Devil Case in the newspaper! I still remember that some witnesses claimed that they had seen ghosts at the scene of the deceased's suicide! Do you think that's how the Devil Case came about? "
"Again!" Wu Xiumin seized the opportunity to attack Ran Tao. She then said, "Did you read the handwritten newspaper? Where did the ghost come from? "
"Um … You …"
Ran Tao was looking for the right words to fight back, when Zhao Yu's mobile phone suddenly rang. After he came back from New Zealand, to be on the safe side, the Central Criminal Division specially ordered a phone with better security functions for him. Other than the Central Criminal Division, no one else knew his new phone number!
"Hello …"
After Zhao Yu answered the phone, he heard the voice of the liaison officer, Chen Zhuo.
As Zhao Yu was driving, he used his Bluetooth phone to answer the call. When he heard Chen Zhuo speaking hurriedly for a long time, Zhao Yu asked curiously, "Officer Chen, can you not give me such a post-modern phrase? What Agatha Christie? What do you mean by 'And Then There Were None'? Can you say something that I can understand?"
