Chapter 1412 Off-island (The Futu world is so disgusting...)


    "What do you think of detective novels, brother?"


    "Am I?"


    Standing on the deck, Duanmuhuai admired the endless sea view, while looking at Shajiuye beside him.


    "Why would you like to ask me this question?"


    "Because my brother is not a detective? Have you ever encountered murders like in detective novels?"


    "No."


    Duanmu Huai shook his head decisively.


    "I have never seen anything like murder in a secret room."


    Duanmu Huai did not lie either. Although he did solve some normal murder cases when he was a detective, they were basically passionate murders, and of course there were also some cases of planning murder. However, the focus of the prisoners in those cases is mostly on how to hide the corpse. They basically have never seen anyone who claims to have absenteeism or murder in a secret room, just like in the detective novel.


    "I think so too... After all, it''s too bizarre, and the method of killing people in the secret room may not be successful. If it fails, wouldn''t it be discovered?"


    "Is this what''s in the novel you''re reading now?"


    Duanmuhuai glanced at the novel in Shajiuye''s hand, and the latter nodded.


    "Of course, not only me, but also Alice Phil and Miss Medea."


    As he spoke, Shajiuye turned his head and saw that on the deck not far away, the two of them were also lying on the sun loungers, drinking drinks under the umbrella while watching the detective novel.


    Well, after they came to this world and learned about Duanmu Huai''s identity, they expressed their intention to help Duanmu Huai be a good assistant... However, Duanmu Huai felt that it doesn''t matter whether this assistant was taken or not. If you want to help me, it would be better to read horror novels than to read detective novels... It''s not right, so you should read the running group records.


    "After all, the situation this time is quite complicated. Isn''t it the most suitable for murder cases?"


    I think it is easier to make trouble than killing people.


    Duanmu Huai naturally did not forget the experience of Ridu Island before, which was to thank that blessing, so Mary always believed that the Japanese sacrifices were to sacrifice a few people to help the fun... Of course, Duanmu Huai''s shadow was also obtained there, and he had no complaints about it.


    However, places like isolated islands are indeed prone to old dominators or external gods, and it is not impossible for the entire island to be polluted.


    Having said that... build a hot spring hotel on the island... This is not something about Okinawa Loli Island.


    "I''m so sorry, Mr. Duanmu, let you take your time to come..."


    At this moment, a sound came from the other side. Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw Bai Fan Meika standing there, lowering her head to him.


    "It''s nothing, it''s also a job after all."


    Duanmu Huai waved his hand.


    "And you also take us with your own yacht, which is enough."


    Tsk tsk, rich people are different. In fact, Duanmu Huai is considered a rich man in this world. After all, the success rate of his commissions he completed is very high, and Duanmu Huai is very popular. Almost every client will give him a considerable bonus during settlement.


    For Duanmuhuai, using this money to buy a yacht or even a private jet is more than enough. But he didn''t have this need on weekdays, and Duanmu Huai was not interested in the entertainment of those rich people, so he just let the money lie in the bank account and eat dust.


    But it would be nice to just use someone else’s. After all, Duanmuhuai doesn’t like going to sea, especially in the world of Cthulhu. Most of the time, people still have to stay away from the sea to be safe.


    Duanmuhuai was a little doubtful whether this thing could last until he waited for someone to return safely.


    After all, this thing doesn''t seem to be able to charge against Cthulhu.


    "Forget it, you''re idle, just talk about the situation over there."


    "OK."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai’s request, Meijia did not refuse, but nodded, then took out a map and placed it on the table. At this time, Alice Phil and Medea next to him also came over and looked at the map in front of him curiously.


    "What we are going to next is Xiangnong Island, which is just an ordinary offshore island, about two hours away from the local area. There is a village on the island that has made a living by fishing for generations, which is considered a little famous. Therefore, Baifan Group sent people to visit here and finally signed an agreement to decide to build a hot spring and recuperation community on Xiangnong Island."


    As she spoke, Mika reached out and pointed to the map.


    "The village is located on the south side of the island, and it is a small village. The hotel of Baifan Group is in the deep mountains. On the one hand, it is a hot spring found here. On the other hand, the environment here is very superior, enough to withstand typhoons and avoid accidents."


    Looking at the map in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded silently. The entire island was in a C-shaped shape, with the uplifting C part being all high mountains, and the village was located on the inside of the gap, which was equal to half of the inland sea. Because of the protection of the mountains, it was not afraid of being attacked by typhoons, and it was considered a better place.


    No wonder Baifan Group chose this place as a place to recuperate.


    "The hot spring care areas are divided into two categories. One is hot spring hotel, mainly gentle, which is prepared for guests who stay for a short period of time. The hotel and villa are designed with foreign style to entertain guests who live on this island. However, there are not many permanent guests now..."


    "Tell me about the disappearance. Does this have anything to do with the curse?"


    "Yes... I heard that there was a legend on this island before, saying that a long time ago, there was a situation where someone disappeared for no reason. Everyone was also very worried at that time. Later, a monk came and told these villagers that there were monsters on the island, and those missing were eaten by monsters. The villagers were very scared, so they asked for help from the monks. The latter also agreed to the villagers'' request and sealed the monster. After that, no one disappeared again... Of course, because it was a story a long time ago, it was just word of mouth on the island, and there was no way to tell whether it was true or false."


    Just like when there was a mountain, a temple in the mountain, and an old monk telling stories?


    "That''s it? Because someone is missing again now, so I think it''s a demon?"


    "It''s not just that simple. I heard that the shrine in the village was also attacked. In fact, it was the villagers who went to the shrine to pay homage to the early morning that the situation was wrong. Then I hurried to inform the village chief, and then found that the village chief was missing..."


    "Have you called the police? What about the police''s opinion?"


    "The police investigation has not yet come out, and I am not very clear about the situation..."


    “Is this a shrine?”


    “Ah, yes…”


    Looking at the direction of Alice Phil''s finger, Mijia nodded. Alice Phil stared there, then moved his fingers gently and took them on the map.


    “………”


    "What''s wrong? Aili?"


    Seeing Alice Phil thinking, Duanmu Huai asked, while Alice Phil and Medea looked at each other.


    "I have some thoughts, but I''ll check the situation after we go to the scene."


    “Dou———!”


    At this moment, accompanied by the sound of whistles, the islands and lighthouses on the sea level were also clearly visible.


    Although it is a small island, its modernization is beyond Duanmuhuai''s expectations. Originally, he imagined that this place should be a backward place. However, the entire wharf looks very neat and wide, and the road along the seaside is quite straight. There are many buildings next to it, all of which are restaurants and the like.


    According to Meijia, this is part of the Baifan Group’s construction plan. After all, they want to build the entire island into a tourist destination, so they naturally need to be fully modernized.


    Stepping onto the dock, Duanmuhuai glanced around.


    The missing case is far away from the local island.


    Well, the pure Cthulhu style.


    This tastes just right.


    I just don’t know which guy is doing it this time.


    Of course, the premise is that he is really the dominant person in the past.


    "Miss Baifan."


    At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit came over and respectfully bowed to Mika.


    "This is the hotel manager, Mr. Kashiki Sushi."


    Meijia also introduced Duanmu Huai and others, and then looked at the man in the suit.


    "Mr. Kashiki, they are the guests I invited. I think you already know the specific situation."


    "Yes."


    The middle-aged man in front of him had a very respectful attitude.


    "Everything is ready, please come with me."


    Soon, the group boarded the bus to pick them up and headed to the hot spring hotel. Meijia also took the opportunity to ask about Manager Kashiwagi''s current situation.


    "Is the current situation... The employees'' emotions are still stable, but so far, there have been six missing incidents, and some people are indeed panic."


    "Wait, six times?"


    "Yes, after that, two more disappearance cases occurred, and the police have launched an investigation. But... there is not much progress."


    "Did the police not plan to search the mountains or something?"


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai asked, while Manager Kashimu shook his head.


    "No, this place was originally a small place with insufficient police force. There were only ten people in the entire police station. Although the hunters'' association in the village organized several small-scale patrols and searches, nothing was gained."


    Speaking of this, Manager Kashiwagi also frowned.


    "Miss, I think this matter should be controlled as much as possible. If you continue to call the police, it will only make those good people notice the abnormalities on this island. No one knows whether those reporters will distort the report, thereby damaging the reputation of Baifan Enterprise..."


    “…………”


    Faced with Manager Kashiki''s advice, Mika lowered her head and said nothing, while Sajiuya was also staring at her worriedly. Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows and stared at Manager Kashiwa. From a business perspective, Manager Kashiki is right. Baifan Group has spared no expense for this plan, and it can be seen from the completely modern village. If the disappearance is spread and reported by the media, it may attract some curious guests.


    But this is obviously not what Baifan Group wants. They are taking the upper-level route, and their goal is to serve those upper-level people, rather than weird people who like to track down supernatural events.


    Therefore, from the perspective of Baifan Group, it is the right way to suppress this matter as much as possible.


    "Don''t worry."


    Looking at the silent Mijia, Duanmuhuai reached out and patted her on the shoulder. When he heard Duanmuhuai''s words, Meijia raised her head and stared at Duanmuhuai.


    “Mr. Duanmu?”


    "You forgot? We came for this."
