Chapter 1286: Chapter 1285-do as the Romans do
After the helicopter dropped Zhao Yu and the others off, it quickly flew back. He guessed that he was going to pick up Jake, who had been kicked off the plane by Miao kun.
At this time, everyone was standing on the high ground of the deserted island, and they could already see a huge island in front of them on the right.
Due to the short distance, they could already see man-made trees and some ancient-looking buildings on the island.
“That’s right!” Miao kun saw through Zhao Yu’s thoughts and immediately explained,”that’s the island of strange traces! It was shaped like an irregular heart, so the locals also had the name heart Island.
“Don’t look at it that way. It doesn’t look very big from here, but the island of strange traces is at least two square kilometers! So, with such a large island, even if Grimm really wanted to sell it, I would have to think twice before doing so!”
“Oh?” Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows.”So, you must be very good at buying islands? Then can you tell me how many more islands you bought?”
“Go away ...” Miao kun frowned.”You’re only after my money. I’m telling you, if you do anything to miomiao, I won’t give you a single cent!”
“What!” Zhao Yu pretended to be innocent.”I’m just wondering which island I should go to for a vacation with Miaomiao when we have time in the future!”
“Don’t even think about it. Even if you do, you can’t say it ...”
While the two of them were talking and joking, they could already see two speedboats speeding over from the opposite Island.
However, due to the distance between the two islands, it would take at least 10 minutes for the speedboat to arrive.
“What the hell is this? “Green, that old geezer ...” At this time, Zhao Yu heard the France tuoqiang Mutter,”if you knew we were coming, why didn’t you let the speedboat wait for us here? Is he trying to do something strange again?”
“Mm ...” Zhao Yu observed the surrounding environment and asked Miao kun,”father-in-law, after all this talk, how many people are there in the detective salon?”
......
“I’m not sure about the exact number ...” Miao kun thought for a moment, then said,”I estimate that the people invited by Ge Lin should be old friends from the last party. Last time, there should be at least 13 people!”
“But ... It’s enough!”
“Oh, just like that Lee Korea? He’s already inside?” Zhao Yu asked.
“It’s Li Bencheng,” Miao kun corrected him again, then said with emotion,”those who went in are still fine, but some of them are already dead!” After all, it’s been ten years since the last gathering. Things have remained the same, but people have changed!”
“Oh ...” Zhao Yu thought for a while, then asked,”then, what did you do at the last gathering? Is there any fun ‘activity’?”
“Hmph, look at that lecherous look of yours. Why do I feel so uneasy?” “You must remember that you are my son-in-law,” Miao kun muttered.”If you mess around outside, you will ruin my reputation!”
“What ...” Although Miao kun’s words hit the nail on the head, Zhao Yu would never admit it. He suddenly put on a straight face and said,”I just wanted to ask you, what kind of activities do detective salons have?” So that I can be mentally prepared! Why are you always thinking in a crooked way?”
“Well ...” Miao kun thought for a moment, then said,”actually ... It’s nothing special!” They just gathered together and talked about their own situations and strange cases they had encountered!
“Of course, in order to increase the atmosphere, Grimm did organize some activities. However, they are not the dirty activities you think, but related to detective reasoning!
“For example ... The kind of reasoning questions that pass the test are more interesting.” Miao kun recalled,”each of you will have to answer 20 questions with the exact same answer. Whoever clears the questions will be rewarded with 200000 pounds! However, as long as he made one mistake, he would be finished!
“In addition, there were some little reasoning games and so on. They were all tricks of the Scotland Yard ...
“In fact, everyone is well aware of this. The purpose of Grimm’s detective salon was not because he was a fanatic, but because he was really interested in the strange cases all over the world.
“His real goal is nothing more than to get information from people like us and obtain something beneficial to him through the gathering.
“Did you know?” Miao kun said seriously,”for some high-ranking people, their favorite thing is news! Sometimes, the value of a piece of information was hard to estimate!
“Of course, it’s the same for us guests of honor! They were all here to obtain more information! Do you understand?”
“Oh ... I understand.” Zhao Yu nodded, then raised a new question.”Since it’s good for everyone, why not hold it once a year?”
“You’re asking me, but who should I ask?” Miao kun whispered in Zhao Yu’s ear,”however, the people who attended the banquet all had powerful backgrounds. None of them were easy to deal with.
“Maybe it’s because everyone’s too busy and we don’t have time to gather?”
“Hmm ... But it does sound interesting!” Zhao Yu turned around and looked at the speedboat that was speeding towards them. He was eager to give it a try.
Juliet pulled Miao kun aside, and the two began to talk in French again.
Although his voice was very soft, Zhao Yu could still hear that Juliet was also worried that Jake would harm Miao kun, and was helping Miao kun with his plans.
Hmph ...
Zhao Yu looked at Miao kun with disdain, because he could see that Juliet had been talking to him with an ambiguous look in her eyes and an intimate action, as if they had had intimate contact before.
This old man was full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality to him. He was worried about this and disapproved of that, but he was outside womanly and had a good time. What a hypocrite ...
At the same time, the skinny Japan writer was squatting by the beach, jotting something down in a small notebook.
Zhao Yu guessed that this guy was probably looking for creative inspiration.
Soon, the speedboat arrived.
There were two speedboats that came to pick them up. The drivers of the speedboats spoke standard English, just like the previous administrator. They apologized for their late arrival and invited them to board the speedboat.
However, something happened that surprised Zhao Yu. When they boarded the speedboat, the driver suddenly asked Zhao Yu to take another speedboat, not allowing him to sit with Miao kun and the others.
Why?
Zhao Yu didn’t understand, and Miao kun was also suspicious.
The driver explained that this was the boss’s request. All the newcomers participating in the detective salon had to be separated from the old people and take different routes.
“NO, NO, no...” Miao kun immediately objected, pointing at Zhao Yu and saying,”he doesn’t understand English. If I don’t follow him, he won’t be able to communicate with anyone!”
“NO, NO, no...” However, the pilot’s attitude was firm. He said that they were all following their boss ‘orders and could not change it. Moreover, he repeatedly emphasized that it was safe, and that he would ensure that Zhao Yu would not be in any danger.
Miao kun argued with them again. On one hand, he asked to talk to Ge Lin, while on the other hand, he threatened the other party that if Zhao Yu did not follow him, he would quit.
However, the other party was unmoved and refused to agree.
“Alright, alright!” Seeing that things had come to a standstill, Zhao Yu finally stepped forward and said to Miao kun,”it’s okay, it’s okay! Since the other party had requested this, he could only follow the local customs!
“Don’t worry, father-in-law. I’m the best detective China, I’ll be fine!” “I’ll make that green regret separating us!” Zhao Yu said, grinning. Hehehe ...”
“...” This time, it was Miao kun’s turn to be speechless, because he had a bad feeling from Zhao Yu’s smirk.
