Controlled experiment

Chapter 25

Li Yao's car is parked in another parking lot. The cars here are all under other people's names, and Li Yao rarely drives.There are two large backpacks and a toolbox in the trunk of the car all the year round. The bags are filled with outdoor survival equipment and food, but they haven’t been updated for a long time. , fortunately, it won't take that long to go to the place I want to go today.

Before leaving, Li Yao got out of the car and looked up at the window of his bedroom. There was a small night light on there, with a very weak light on. Li Yao's gaze stayed on it for a moment, and then he looked down at his watch.

Zhuang Hao was sitting in the car, looking ahead dully, Li Yao called him.

"Check the watch." Li Yao said.

Zhuang Hao froze for a moment, glanced at the clock on his wrist and nodded.

"I made an agreement with the people at the dock, it won't take long."

Li Yao didn't say anything, but glanced at the window again, opened the car door and got in.

Zhuang Hao sighed and reminded: "Are you assured that he is alone?"

Li Yao started the car and said, "I have to take over at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, we have to get back before then. Don't waste time."

Zhuang Hao blinked his eyes and nodded.

Compared with Jing Mo, Li Yao is much calmer.He usually doesn't talk much, and sometimes he will give you the illusion that he is easy to talk to, but Zhuang Hao knows that Li Yao is not inferior to Jing Mo.Guo Zhuang Hao also heard a little about how he returned back then.

Li Yao was the one who lost in that gamble back then.

It stands to reason that the one who is lost is often the saddest, and this sadness refers to life.After all, being regarded as a bargaining chip and losing to others, life under the fence is not so easy.Although Li Yao seems to be living a good life now, only he knows how he survived.

But Jing Mo, who was obviously favored by good luck, why did the child left behind become like this.

Zhuang Hao didn't understand why a good deck of cards was played like this by him, and what happened to Jing Mo.

Seeing Li Yao's profile focused on driving, Zhuang Hao suddenly remembered something.

"Du Yusheng will wake up around six o'clock, and your shift time is nine o'clock." Zhuang Hao stretched out two fingers and said: "He woke up and you were not here, how do you explain these few hours to him?"

"He won't know." Li Yao turned to look at Zhuang Hao, and said, "Since he doesn't know, I don't need to explain to him."

Zhuang Hao didn't understand, but he didn't continue to ask.Since Li Yao said it out loud, he was sure of what he did.

Li Yao's car was driving fast, almost hovering at the threshold of violations. When the two of them drove to the agreed pier, Zhuang Hao glanced at his watch. From the time he left the house to the present, and in the middle of the night, the road was unimpeded. to four 10 minutes.

Li Yao parked the car and threw the toolbox in the trunk to Zhuang Hao.

On the pier, the man Zhuang Hao had met was squatting at the corner. He was wearing a black hat, and he was wearing the common attire of workers on the pier.

This is a semi-private pier, which is usually in a deserted state, so the surrounding facilities are very dilapidated.

The man was holding a low-quality cigarette in his mouth. Watching Zhuang Hao bring someone over, he hurriedly stood up and walked to Zhuang Hao's side, still cursing.

"Why the fuck is it so late." He threw the cigarette on the ground and said, "I charge by the minute. If you're 10 minutes late, you can figure it out yourself."

Zhuang Hao's temper is not that good. He has been in that circle all the time, and he is very angry. He also cursed, saying: "Sit on the ground and raise the price? I think you have lived enough, and you don't even look at you in the mirror." Who the hell are you negotiating with?"

While speaking, Zhuang Hao still felt that it was not enough, and he was about to exert force on him while waving his fists.

The man didn't hide, and took a life-threatening blow.

He raised his head and said with a smile: "Zhuang Hao, you caused trouble, right? I'm not blind, so I can see it. Today, someone asked me about you. I followed what you said, saying that you went to sea by boat, which is interesting enough. Let me put it here, either the money is in place, or you can go where you are cool, you can’t get on my boat.”

Zhen Nima was scattered when the tree fell, and when the wall fell and everyone pushed, Zhuang Hao waved his fists in a gesture, but Li Yao stopped him suddenly.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

Li Yao handed a card to the man, held one side of the card, and said: "The money in this card is enough for you to make this trip, but I said before, if you dare to reveal a word, I will send you money." These are exchanged for paper money and burned for you."

His way of speaking is very different from Zhuang Hao's, and they are all well-behaved words, but in the ears of the dock workers, these words are not easy to mess with when they are superimposed.

He politely took the card and kicked it in his pocket.

Although the human body feels very cold this season, the temperature on the water can't reach it, and it never freezes.The reason why Huandao is called Huandao is because it surrounds the island on three sides, encircling the city in a semicircle. There are many islands around, scattered in many sizes.Large ones with good views are all developed into scenic spots and residences.The small ones, especially remote ones, are hardly visited by anyone, and some pirated maps cannot be seen.These islands are located in a remote place, and the developers don't want to waste money here. They have been deserted for a long time, and few people remember them.

Zhuang Hao opened the toolbox that Li Yao gave him on the boat, and there were only two shovels in it.

The shovels were all brand new, and the locks on them were very tight. Zhuang Hao picked them up and weighed them in his hands.

Looking at Li Yao, he said, "Sometimes I feel that you know everything."

Li Yao gave him a blank look and didn't speak.

Thinking about something in his heart, the boat has traveled for a long time and has no concept of time. When Li Yao docked, it didn't take long.

Instruct the boatman to stop the boat and let the people not disembark.

Li Yao and Zhuang Hao got off the boat.There are many isolated and unattended islands around the island, and the one under my feet is undoubtedly one of them.It seemed that it had just rained on the island, and the soil on the ground was still wet. Li Yao squatted down and pushed the soil with his thumb. It seemed that the rain was not heavy, and the soil was not completely soaked.

After wiping his fingers, Li Yao pointed to the forked road ahead, and said to Zhuang Hao, "Lead the way."

Zhuang Hao nodded, put the tools on his shoulders and walked to one of the forks.

There are not many people who have been to the island, and there is no road formed on the ground. People all step in through the bushes, and it is difficult to tell the direction unless someone is leading them.The air on the island is very humid, and there are unnamed trees everywhere. Li Yao turned on the flashlight to shine all the way, except for the flying bugs, they are all plants.

After it rained, the fog inside was very heavy, and Heitian Zhuang Hao seemed to have taken many detours, and finally found the place.

Unlike the lush bushes before, the bushes here are obviously much sparser.

Li Yao watched Zhuang Hao stop, pointed his flashlight at the space between the two, pointed, and said, "Let's dig."

Zhuang Hao nodded, and the shovel on his shoulder was deeply inserted into the ground.

Li Yao shines on the ground with a flashlight. This kind of flashlight is specially used for outdoor use. The beam of light is far away, clear and lasts for a long time. Every shovel that Zhuang Hao goes down can be seen clearly.Li Yao squatted down to meet Zhuang Hao's eyes, and looked at his mobile phone. There was no signal on the island, and the mobile phone turned into bricks.

Li Yao could only watch Zhuang Hao's movements.

After digging for a long time, the first thing he saw was the human fibula, then the femur, and finally when he shoveled down, Li Yao saw the skull.

One, two, three.

The rotten ones with only bones left, the half-rotten ones, the forms you can see in books, Li Yao has seen them all here.

According to the degree of decay of the corpses, the clothes on their bodies are also decaying to varying degrees, which is a spectacular sight.

No matter in the hospital or when he was in school, Li Yao had seen too many such things, but it was the first time he felt so dizzy.Apart from other things, these three people... Li Yao knew that Jing Mo really couldn't turn back.

Zhuang Hao was exhausted and out of breath beside him, Li Yao didn't help at all, he was exhausted enough.

"That's all..." Zhuang Hao sighed for a long time, and said: "Jing Mo is a smart man, he will never do it himself, he will find a middleman, and those middlemen are all desperadoes, and they have already carried the burden on their backs." A lot of lives, or murderers who just got out of prison. And now, here are his go-betweens."

Li Yao turned off the flashlight.

"Why do they listen to him so much?"

"The price of the game of death."

Li Yao smiled wryly and shook his head.My chest was so sore that I suddenly wanted to smoke.

Zhuang Hao was about to bury the soil back again, Li Yao turned on the flashlight again and looked at him.

"You have all the lists from that year?"

Zhuang Hao paused for a moment with his shoveling hand, looked at Li Yao with wide eyes and said: "...I know what you want to do, don't spill it in."

"It's too late." Li Yao said: "Zhuang Hao, after this matter is over, you should know your own ending." Li Yao walked to Zhuang Hao's side, gently lifted his collar, and said, "Death!" , Those who die are valuable. You have to be worthy of yourself."

Zhuang Hao was stunned for a moment, clenched his hands into fists and hummed, and then buried the earth back to the original place without saying a word.

The corpse mixed with cloth was gradually buried by the soil. Li Yao looked at a reflective spot on the ground. He knelt down and dug up the soil with his hands, and then found the watch buried in the soil.Watches are very common and many people wear them, but Li Yao has seen this watch on Du Yusheng's wrist.

Zhuang Hao looked at the watch in Li Yao's hand and slowly straightened up.

"you recognize?"

Li Yao nodded, "There are only two watches in total, and Du Yusheng bought them all. He kept one for himself, and gave the other to his father."

Zhuang Hao took a step back abruptly.

"...What do you mean? The watch belongs to his father? That means...Master Du is here? One of the three corpses is Du...Master Du is already dead?" The inference was shocked, but quickly denied himself, shook his head, and said, "But obviously no one killed him...why is he here?"

In retrospect, the news about Mr. Du has indeed not appeared on the news for a long time, and every word about Mr. Du is known from Du Yusheng.If this person had already died, the more Zhuang Hao thought about it, the colder his heart became.

Looking at Li Yao as if asking for help, the latter threw the watch on the ground and motioned to bury it too.

The expression on Li Yao's face was intriguing, without too much shock or sadness, as if he had foreseen it a long time ago.

Zhuang Hao shoveled a few times, looked back at Li Yao and said, "Tell me, does Du Yusheng know about his father's death?"

Li Yao pointed to the soil on the ground.

"Just now I found out that the soil here was refurbished before we came here." Li Yao signaled Zhuang Hao not to stop the movements in his hands, and continued: "Who do you think has been here?"

"Du... Du Yusheng?"

Li Yao shook his head and gave an ambiguous answer.

"I do not know."

Li Yao looked at the sky above his head and sighed.At this time, the sleeping person at home should not have woken up. Maybe what he has endured is all in his heart, and falling asleep is more painful than waking up, because he will have dreams when he is asleep, and he will dream in dreams.

As for the outsider who came to the island, Li Yao hoped it wasn't Du Yusheng.
