Chapter 616

Qin Yang was a native of Qinhuangdao, and he was also a taxi driver, so he was very familiar with the roads here. Plus, there weren't many cars in the middle of the night, and the road conditions were good, so it was a smooth journey.

Fatty was not very addicted to smoking, nor did he like smoking very much. He just twirled the cigarette that Qin Yang had just handed him in his hand. At this time, the fat man seemed to have suddenly thought of something and reached out to poke Su Bai's shoulder like a shy little wife.

Who knew that Su Bai was thinking while smoking, and he didn't notice Fatso's little action.

Seeing that Su Bai ignored him, Fatso purposely bumped into Su Bai.

"What?" Su Bai asked.

"Well, I said that I wouldn't come, and I didn't want you to owe me a favor. But now, the situation is different, isn't it? It's your turn to force me to come here. Shouldn't we recalculate our relationship?"

Fatso's two fingers were twirling, as if he was very shy and embarrassed to talk about this matter. However, Su Bai knew how thick Fatso's skin was. Obviously, he wasn't a shy and bashful person.

"We'll see when the time comes. I might encounter some things, and when the time comes, I'll need you to make some choices. I can only say this. On this matter, if there's a need, I'll return to you double whatever benefits you give up."

Fatso nodded noncommittally, then looked out of the window. They were already out of the city, and both sides of the road looked a little desolate.

"I don't see many people." Fatso muttered, then sighed, "Su Bai, we didn't even have time to eat dinner."

"It's the off-season now, so there won't be a lot of people. Many shops, restaurants, and even hotels near the scenic area won't be open at this time. Are you going to have a meal first? I can be a good host. I know a farmhouse near Laolongtou. There shouldn't be any business now, but it's very convenient for me to order a meal and a room."

"Okay, let's eat first." Fatso decided on behalf of Su Bai.

Su Bai didn't object. The emperor didn't need hungry soldiers. Fatso had already decided not to come, but he still invited him. At this time, he couldn't ask Fatso to go with him. It wasn't realistic.

"Okay, I'll make the call." Qin Yang made a call while driving. In fact, they weren't far from Lao Longtou.

Su Bai threw the cigarette butt out of the window. Since they set off, he had been very quiet, and his mind was a little dizzy. There were some things he couldn't accept, and some things he didn't know if he could change. There was a lot of pressure, a lot of questions, and he had to face these things by himself. For Young Master Su, who had always been "capricious", he really wasn't used to it.

Soon, Qin Yang brought Su Bai and Fatso to a family's house. It was a three-story house with a spacious courtyard. When they arrived, the dishes were already on the table. Generally speaking, the people who did business in this area in tourist attractions were very close with the taxi drivers. If they could get a customer, they would also get a commission. This was an unspoken rule in every place. However, this time, Qin Yang couldn't take the commission because this meal was his treat. His financial situation was even worse than Su Bai's, and he was indeed a calculative person. However, since his friend came from afar, it was reasonable for him to treat them to a meal.

Donkey hot pot, sheep and scorpion hot pot, and a few cold dishes also filled the table. Moreover, the food in the north was not like the food in Jiangnan, which was particular about small and delicate bowls and plates. Here, each hot pot and each dish had a large portion. Anyway, Fatso ate heartily, and Su Bai also ate some. The taste was not bad, very fresh and tasty.

After the meal, Qin Yang originally planned to arrange for Fatso and Su Bai to stay first, and then he was ready to leave after doing his part. Who knew that Su Bai insisted that Qin Yang send them all the way to the scenic spot.

When they arrived at the parking lot at the entrance of Laolongtou Scenic Spot, Qin Yang looked back at Su Bai in confusion.

"Is it really that urgent?"

Su Bai nodded and got out of the car. On the other side, Fatso also got out of the car. Fatso could guess some secrets, so he really couldn't complain. Putting himself in Su Bai's shoes, if he encountered a similar situation, he would only be more anxious than Su Bai.

At night, the scenic spot was naturally closed. Moreover, this scenic spot was not like the Terracotta Army Museum, which was divided into tourists' viewing time and cultural relic restoration time. Therefore, at night, other than a few security guards, there was no one else.

With Su Bai and Fatso's ability, sneaking into such a big scenic spot at night was simply child's play.

"Hehe, it's more imposing than I imagined. The renovation is not bad." Fatso touched the battlement of the city wall with one hand while looking at the distant sea. Below, there were waves after waves.

To put it simply, Laolongtou was a city wall, bordering the sea. When tourists stood here, it was as if they could feel the fire and smoke of war in the past.

Fatso touched his head in confusion. "Da Bai, now that we have arrived at our destination, what should we do next?"

"Lin Zhou said to go out to sea. There is a cruise ship in the scenic spot below. We can use that ship to go out to sea from here. The place we are looking for should not be far from Laolongtou," Su Bai said very seriously.

"The sea is still very big." Fatso shrugged, a little speechless. "I know what you mean. You think that there is a way down in the sea somewhere, right? But you don't even have a specific location. Are we really going to take a cruise ship at night and search the sea like blind people? "

"Isn't your attainment in array formations very high? Can't you take a look first?" Su Bai looked at Fatso. Su Bai knew Fatso's attainment in array formations.

"Damn, do you really think I am a god? I just stand here and pinch my fingers, and you can calculate the location? " Fatso shrugged. If it was a few hundred years ago, I might really be able to find some clues based on the atmosphere and momentum. But now, it's useless.

Most people only know that the Great Wall was built by Qin Shi Huang, but in reality, most of the Great Wall that you see was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall played a great role throughout the Ming Dynasty. Later, with the Manchurian invasion, the Great Wall lost its original meaning. The Great Wall was originally used to defend against the Mongolians and Manchurians. After the Manchurians conquered the world, the Mongolians were defeated by the Manchurians. For hundreds of years, the Great Wall was basically a decoration. Now, it has been rebuilt into a scenic spot to make money. There is no atmosphere or momentum here, and I can't figure out anything at all. "

Listening to Fatso, Su Bai did not seem very disappointed. He just sat down quietly and took out a stack of photos from his pocket.

Fatso walked over. "I say, why don't we wait until tomorrow? Lin Zhou and the others should be here tomorrow."

Su Bai shook his head. "I am more anxious about this matter than they are. However, it's not that I don't have any clues. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here in the middle of the night. I'm not here to admire the moon with you. "

With that said, Su Bai took out the photos in his hand and showed them to Fatso.

"In fact, many of the answers are in some small details. Lin Zhou returned to Shanghai to see his educated friend who jumped the queue with him for the last time. But think about it, how old was Lin Zhou when he went to the countryside? His real age was estimated to be in his sixties or seventies at that time. Why did he get involved in this matter? Even if he was forced by the situation, how could a person like him become best friends with a young man?

His identity was not as secret as Lin Zhou's, because he did not go to Taiwan. He became the new China's authority in marine research. After the Battle of Songhu, he was captured when Nanjing was breached. Later, he was sent to the Japanese labor camp and arranged to stay in Qinhuangdao. Because he originally studied marine exploration, after the Japanese discovered him, he was used as a talent among the prisoners of war. This identity later became the key to his defeat and criticism. He could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide, which led to his son's family composition at that time.

But he always had the habit of keeping a diary.

His diary had been passed down from generation to generation. It was in the house of the deceased old man, who was his son. I felt that Lin Zhou had also been captured and entered the labor camp with him. Moreover, the Japanese must have discovered something here, so they were preparing to explore it. Lin Zhou must have also participated in it.

The Japanese's operation caused Lin Zhou to encounter the mirror and become a dried corpse. He has survived until now, and the reason why Lin Zhou approached that person's son and became good friends with him was also because of that person. "

Su Bai pulled out a photo. "If I'm not wrong, the drawing on this page of the diary should be the specific symbol. He must have deliberately drawn it more abstract and vague. You are an expert in this field. Take a look."

Fatso took the photo and said with some surprise, "Not bad, Da Bai. I was wondering why Lin Zhou used this information as a bargaining chip to blackmail you. He probably did not expect that you would be able to investigate the matter yourself."

Su Bai smiled. "After all, I am also a detective."
