Don't move the old man's bounty

Zhou Xuan was carrying a stack of documents, and gently pushed the door open a gap. The person sleeping on the sofa was very sensitive. When he heard the sound, he jumped up and asked him reflexively, "Do you have any clues?"

Looking at Xiao Shi's messy hair, unkempt stubble, and that tired face with the word "tired" clearly written on it, Zhou Xuan couldn't bear it, "If you sleep a little longer, it doesn't matter whether you have any clues or not." For these 10 minutes, you lie down first, and then squint for a while."

A rough calculation shows that Xiao Shi hasn't closed his eyes much in the past three days. Without news from Jiang Juan, he can't eat or sleep, and has lost a lot of weight.

Seeing that he was no longer sleepy, Zhou Xuan asked someone to deliver some breakfast. While eating, he said, "The investigation of that boat ticket has progressed, Jiang Juan...not yet."

This was also expected, Xiao Shi had no appetite, he stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, it was still hard to swallow after it was brought to his mouth, so he simply put it down again, and went out to wash his face.

Ever since Jiang Juan ran away from home, he hadn't been back to their home. He wanted to ask Song Yuzhi to take Xiao Tian back to foster care for a few days, but Xiao Tian refused to leave home even if he said nothing. Come to feed the dog.

He didn't know until now that Jiang Juan actually foretelled him the separation with his actions, but he never noticed it.

These days Xiao Shi lived in the city bureau, trying to find Jiang Juan's whereabouts by all means.

The person who used to sleep like a pig after touching the pillow, now not only can't sleep for a few days and nights, but can be woken up by even the slightest movement.

If this goes on like this, he will have a nervous breakdown before he finds Jiang Juan.

Trying to persuade him to eat half a bowl of porridge, Zhou Xuan said: "I investigated the boat ticket you got that day, it was a cruise ship from Sanya to Chissel Island, the name is Aphrodite, it is on the The departure will take place on the 28th of the end of the month, and the entire journey will last for [-] days, and more than a few hundred tickets have been sold so far."

"Hisel Island?" Xiao Shi pulled his notebook and searched for relevant information, "An island that has not yet been assigned ownership, with a pleasant climate, lush vegetation, and ancient relics left by the aborigines? What the hell kind of place is this?"

"The ancient ruins are definitely fake. The propagandists claim that this island surfaced last year due to changes in the earth's crust, and it has been sinking under the sea before, unless the Atlanteans were here for vacation." Zhou Xuan pointed to the picture "Don't you think these things look familiar?"

Xiao Shi snorted coldly, "The low-end version of the stone statue of Easter Island, this kind of thing can also bluff people? I don't think there is even a place to shelter from the wind and rain on this island. What's so interesting?"

"You don't understand this. The pastime of the rich is to enjoy the journey at sea. When they get to the place, go for a stroll, listen to the tour guide's nonsense, and pay the money and go back. But for the safety of your own life Think about it, no matter how good the scenery is, you can’t go to such a place where no one cares, if something happens, even the police uncle can’t find it, so you’re not afraid?”

Zhou Xuan took out a black-bottomed and silver-bordered boat ticket from his pocket, "The worst guess is that there will be another hunting game on the island, so I also bought one and go with you Let's see what's going on. You don't even know how expensive this thin piece of paper is, and my salary for half a year is gone!"

Xiao Shi took the boat ticket and asked doubtfully, "Where did you buy it?"

"Dark web. I checked your ticket, and found a watermark printed on it with a special process, and there was a URL written on it. When I logged in, I found that it was a mirror website of the dark web, which happened to be a ticket purchase. I'm not sure about this. Can this method work, now we have nowhere to go, we have to try if there is a way.”

Xiao Shi hooked the corners of his mouth, probably wanting to laugh, but for him now, such a simple facial expression is extremely difficult.

Zhou Xuan waved his hand, "Okay, don't laugh if you can't laugh, it's uglier than crying. I know you're suffering, so I'm here to help you. Don't worry, Jiang Juan will come back."

Xiao Shi nodded, and studied the ticket again.

This black-and-silver cardboard is similar to the "Paradise" invitation he received last year, but it is much simpler than the few puzzles he invited last year. There is only a simple picture of a luxury cruise ship and the sea area. The strokes, "Aphrodite" and "SanyaTOSidsel Island" are written in cursive English, and there is a blank box in the lower right corner, which should be a ticket that does not need a deposit stub and is stamped and released by the staff.

The back is a blank black background with only hot-stamped silver patterns.

"You just said that hundreds of tickets were sold? But the game of hunting involves dozens of people at most. This number is too many. Have the rules changed this year?"

"Ghost knows." Zhou Xuan brewed two cups of instant coffee, smacked his lips tastelessly, "The company that organized the trip is a British company, I can't ask them to provide all the buyers' information without formalities, and my private investigation is also very difficult. It’s not very compliant, and the intelligence that can be obtained is very limited.”

Xiao Shi looked at the ticket, feeling a little complicated, "Maybe we can only find out what happened when we get on the boat. If this matter is really related to hunting games, Jiang Er will definitely show up."

The two of them were studying the ticket in their hands. Zhou Xuan also tried to illuminate the surface of the ticket with an ultraviolet light, but found no other secret information.

And Xiao Shi was lying on the sofa, staring at the ticket with bloodshot eyes, and closed his eyes after a while.

Zhou Xuan thought that he fell asleep from exhaustion, and planned to cover him with a blanket, but just as he stretched out his hand, the man suddenly opened his eyes like a corpse, which shocked him.

"Aphrodite should be the god of love in ancient Greek mythology, right?"

"Well, goddess of love and beauty, don't care..." Zhou Xuan patted his hands a few times, "That thing."

"This may also be a hint." Xiao Shi climbed up, stretched out his hand and pressed a few times on the keyboard wearily, staring at the screen with sour eyes, "One of the twelve main gods of Olympus, born from the foam in the ocean, So it is also regarded as the patron saint of sailing... Isn't this a flag?"

"Can you close your beak!" Zhou Xuan said fiercely to him, stood up and stretched, and handed over his mobile phone, "By the way, I asked someone to check the phone number at the gate of the Provincial Department that day. Surveillance, found the person who stuffed the ticket into your arms, come and see, do you recognize this person?"

Xiao Shi took the phone and took a look. He thought that there was at most a back view in the video, but he didn't expect that the person was facing the surveillance camera and took a very clear frontal photo.

"This man had been wandering around the door of the Provincial Department before we came, and the surrounding shops also took pictures of him, but after interviewing, people nearby said they had never seen him."

Xiao Shi looked at the person in the photo, and his first reaction was that he had never seen this person before.

But looking at the facial features of this person, he seemed to have found a clue.

"……Japanese?"

"What?" Zhou Xuan probed over, wondering, "How did you find out?"

"Single eyelids, round eyes, drooping corners of eyes, eyes close to nose, high nose bridge, and the most typical buck teeth, this person should be Japanese."

"...Are you sure? Are you sure?"

"Probably, when investigating the Lanjiang corpse dumping case, Jiang Er guessed that Higashino Shota was Japanese from his facial features. Afterwards, Di Zhen carefully investigated Dongye's life experience. That's why the Japanese couple adopted him."

Xiao Shi continued: "Let's assume that the person who secretly stuffed my ticket is Japanese. The only thing we can get involved with Japan is..." He slapped his thigh, "Yanyin Group! Ye Mingxuan's Sino-Japanese joint venture, It really belongs to his company!"

But now that Ye Mingxuan and his wife Mu Xueyin have both passed away, their adopted son Xu Zimu doesn't interfere in the company's affairs, and their adopted daughter Ye Sizhen is still a child, the only one who can know the inside story...

Xiao Shi suddenly stood up, picked up the phone and went out, "I'll go ask Ye Mingxiao!"

"Hey, hey! Wait, come back!" Zhou Xuan held him back, "I don't even look at my image, I'm unkempt, what should I do if I go out and scare people?"

Xiao Shi hadn't rested for a few days, and he was severely lacking in physical strength and energy, so he could be restrained with a little effort.

Zhou Xuan dragged him out of the dark forensic department, the scorching sun outside made him a little bit blind.

"If you stay in that rat's nest-like office, you're going to get moldy. How can you find someone if you go on like this?"

Thinking of Jiang Xun's restless appearance when Song Yuzhi disappeared, Zhou Xuan felt like a stick in his throat.

"Okay, don't be stubborn with me. If you don't want to go home, you can go to my house to take a bath and have a good sleep. I will investigate other things, so don't worry about it."

He knew that Xiao Shi would not agree, and he would have to babble later, so he simply took out his trump card, "I have booked a ticket to Sanya, and when you recover your energy, we will go and see the situation together, and the follow-up investigation here will be handed over to It's okay for Jiang to punish them."

Xiao Shi hesitated to speak, Zhou Xuan was kind, and he was not stubborn, so he thanked him and followed Zhou Xuan back home.

When the two entered the door, Pei Qian was cooking soup, and he served a bowl for each of them, saying: "Jiang Juan's value on the dark web has been doubled, and it is the same as Jiang Xun's state before he entered the hunting game last year. The secrecy of this website The measures are well done, and there are a large number of mirror websites, it is not easy to check, but after squatting, I still found a breakthrough."

He moved the laptop to the dining table and showed them a grayed-out account.

"This person entered the wrong password three times and applied to the website to change the password. I used some means to get his password, and found a social platform account suspected of the user through that string of characters."

Pei Qian opened the person's Weibo homepage, which turned out to be a golden V account with millions of followers.

"Shao Dongyu, this man is a rich second generation. He usually likes to eat, drink and have fun. He posts content such as spending a lot of money at a certain famous scenic spot. He is usually abroad, and the IP he uses is also an overseas address. Two days ago But he suddenly posted a blog saying that he planned to go to Sanya, and fans were still recommending special snacks to him. This may not be a coincidence. I found out that Shao Dongyu had a record of bidding for Jiang Juan on the dark web. Is it possible that he sold more than a few hundred The ticket includes both the players who participated in the hunting game and the sponsors who plan to watch the live action?"

Pei Qian's statement gave the two of them a new way of thinking.

Xiao Shi quickly looked up the information on the Aphrodite, which is a cruise ship under the British Silverwater Shipping Company. The last time it traveled from Southampton, England to Chicago, the United States, it carried 3000 tourists and 800 crew members. It is impossible for a large cruise ship to carry only a few hundred people to sea, and more people may join this ill-fated journey, which is quite unfavorable for police investigation and rescue.

"Don't worry, we won't know what's going on until we get to Sanya. Eat first, then take a good bath and sleep, and I'll talk to Ye Mingxiao later."

Zhou Xuan was worried about Xiao Shi, and whispered a few words in Pei Qian's ear before going out.

Pei Qian went back to the room to get some clothes for a change of clothes, and wanted to tell Xiao Shi to take a bath before going to sleep, but he saw the man lying on the table, already unconscious.

"Xiao Shi, do you want to sleep on the bed?"

He called out softly, but seeing no response from Xiao Shi, he wanted to get him a piece of clothing to put on.

As soon as he turned around, he heard a "buzz", and Xiao Shi's mobile phone on the table rang.

Xiao Shi opened his eyes almost immediately, answered the phone and asked, "Who?"

A chuckle came from the opposite side: "Off-site assistance to help you chase your wife."

The author has something to say:

An unknown foreign aid: If I knew what happened later, I would definitely not throw myself in a trap and come to find someone surnamed Xiao.The person concerned is now regretting, very regretful.

Xiao Shi: Wang!
