Three o'clock in the morning.

After a bumpy journey, Liu Jie arrived at Paradise Village.

At this moment, in Paradise Village, only the door of the shop was lit, and the rest of the place was dark.

The doors all around were closed and empty.

The cold wind howled in the empty streets, and a few birds perched on the trees were startled, screaming across the sky and disappearing into the dark night.

"Brother, are you okay alone?" The driver looked at Liu Jie with some confusion.

"fine."

"Then good luck to you."

The driver turned the steering wheel and left.

Watching the driver's back as he walked away, Liu Jie couldn't help but clenched his sleeves, and couldn't help shivering because of the cold.

Looking at the dark night sky, Liu Jie took out his cell phone again and tentatively dialed Wu Xiaomei's number.

Unfortunately, it still can't be opened.

Liu Jie hesitated and knocked on the door of the shop.

After a while the lights in the room came on.

"Who is it?" an impatient voice came from the house.

"Sister, open the door, there's something urgent." Liu Jie said impatiently.

The fat woman opened the door, glanced up and down and recognized Liu Jie: "It's you, what are you doing so late?"

"Hello, sister, I would like to ask if you have seen her?" Liu Jie quickly took out his phone and pulled out Wu Xiaomei's photo.

"I haven't seen him before, I don't know him, you can go." The fat woman rejected Liu Jie without even looking at him, and raised her hand to close the door.

Just as the fat woman was about to close the door, Liu Jie quickly grabbed the door frame with quick eyes and hands: "Sister, listen to me, I know she has been here. Look, isn't this your shop?"

Liu Jie pointed at the photo and explained to the fat woman excitedly. However, the fat woman showed no interest at all. She raised her eyebrows and said impatiently, "Hey, why are you so unreasonable? I told you so."

I have never met her, and I don’t know who she is. Besides, even if I have met her, why should I tell you? Let’s talk about it tomorrow. Goodbye.”

After saying this, the fat woman was about to close the door again. Upon seeing this, Liu Jie immediately put one foot into the door and locked it.

"What are you doing? Are you sick? If you keep doing this, believe it or not, I will call the police!"

The fat woman was irritated, her eyes widened. While speaking, she pushed Liu Jie out, but Liu Jie held the door frame tightly with both hands and refused to let go.

"Let go, I asked you to let go, do you hear me?"

"Sister, please listen to me. Please let me beg you, okay? Please tell me where she is now? Has she gone to the island? I know it's not good to disturb you at night, so why don't I give you money?"

As he spoke, Liu Jie took out his wallet, took out all the bills and handed them to the fat woman.

The fat woman waved the money in her hands, guessing it was several thousand dollars.

"Well, since you are so sincere, I will tell you that I have indeed met her." The fat woman put away the money and felt a little better.

"What about her?"

"We're on the island."

"Going to the island? How did she get there? Didn't she need to make an appointment?"

Liu Jie was a little surprised. He clearly remembered that Professor Chen told him that if he wanted to go to the island, he had to make an appointment in advance, which could take as short as three to five days or as long as several months.

From what he said at that time, it seemed that there were no places left on the island, so how did Soho get on the island?

"It requires an appointment. That's right. She was going to fill in the information at that time, but it happened that someone was docking on the island that day, so she went with them."

"Follow us? Can we go to the island without making a reservation?" Liu Jie became even more confused now.

"Well, how should I put it? In fact, the rule is that the dead are alive. As long as you spend your money, someone will naturally take you to the island. As for whether you can stay, it depends on your ability."

Liu Jie understood that Su Ho probably bribed the crew to board Paradise Island.

"When will the boat on the island come again?" Liu Jie continued to ask.

"I don't know about this. Sometimes they come down every day, and sometimes they don't come for many days. But I can call you and ask, but you have to wait until after dawn."

"Okay, thank you, thank you very much."

Finally seeing hope, Liu Jie also had a long-lost smile on his face. No matter what, at least there is hope now.

"It's nothing, just a phone call. I've seen a lot of people like you, but in the end the hope is slim. Usually out of a hundred, only one or two are left. And I don't understand. Since your girlfriend

They have gone to the hospital for treatment, so why don't you just wait at home with peace of mind? What are you doing there? You are a healthy person, no matter what you say, they will not want you."

Liu Jie softened his tone and said with some embarrassment that he and Wu Xiaomei had a quarrel.

Wu Xiaomei came with him on her back this time. He was worried that Wu Xiaomei could not take care of herself, so he came with him. It didn't matter whether he could stay or not. He just wanted to see how Wu Xiaomei was doing.

"Are you sure you are her boyfriend?" The fat woman looked at Liu Jie with some confusion.

"Auntie, what do you mean by this?"

"It's not interesting, it's just that I saw her coming with a man.

What? There was a man beside Wu Xiaomei, and Liu Jie thought he heard wrongly.

"Auntie, are you sure there are other men around him?"

"Why did I lie to you? The two of them stayed in my hotel for half a day."

"We stayed for half a day, so when did they arrive on the island?"

"Yesterday around three o'clock in the afternoon, I remember that the girl seemed to be in a bad state at that time. She couldn't even stand steady. Almost everything was done by the man. Afterwards, the man drove away in her car.

""

"Wait a minute, you just said he came to the island during the day?"

"Yes, I went to the island during the day."

"Does your home have surveillance? Can you let me see the surveillance footage?"

"Hey, I'm afraid this won't work. The surveillance camera in my house was broken many years ago. It's just a decoration. I'm not telling you, young man. Sometimes you should let go when it's time to let go. Since he carried you to the island with other men,

Then I think there is no need for you to go to the island again -

"Thank you for your kindness. I'm sorry to disturb your rest. You can go to bed first."

Liu Jie gave a bitter smile, turned around and left.

"It's cold outside, let's sit inside."

"No, thank you!"

Liu Jie crossed his arms and sat on the chair. Compared with the cold wind, his heart was now even colder.

The fat woman's words had been made very clear. Su Ho came with a man. Not only did they rent a room, but the man also personally sent Su Ho to the island.

This shows that their relationship should be unusual.

Suddenly Liu Jie realized a bright spot.

The fat woman said that Su Ho went to the island during the day, so shouldn't it be Wu Xiaomei who is controlling the body at this time? Why did she agree to Su Ho's request?

Could it be that she had been subdued by Su Ho in some way? Otherwise, why would she look so weak that she couldn't even walk steadily?

Thinking of this, Liu Jie became even more anxious. It seemed that Su Ho had been planning this for a long time.

Wu Xiaomei may be really in trouble this time.

Waiting is always the most painful.

Liu Jie was flipping through the photo album while licking his cards.

He is a person who likes to take pictures. Whenever he encounters something interesting, he will pick up his mobile phone and take pictures.

And during this period of time, the scene he took the most was undoubtedly Wu Xiaomei and her flower shop.

In the photo, Wu Xiaomei sometimes makes faces at the camera, sometimes stares at the flowers intently, and sometimes closes her eyes and feels the breeze of Moon Lake.

Looking at these photos, countless images passed through Liu Jie's mind like a slideshow.

They have experienced so much together during this time.

There was a time when many people went to Liu Jie to keep a distance from Wu Xiaomei.

Some people said there was something wrong with him, some said he was possessed by a ghost, and still others said he was a mistress.

In short, in their eyes, Wu Xiaomei is the source of heinous crimes, and whoever gets close to him will be unlucky.

Although Liu Jie didn't believe it at first and was even obsessed with Wu Xiaomei's beauty, judging from the results, it seems that Uncle Guo's warning has become a reality.

It's just that Liu Jie's mentality has undergone tremendous changes.

Although she didn't know the identity of the man who came with her, Liu Jie couldn't wait to go to the island. No matter who he was, he must see Wu Xiaomei in person.

This night seemed extremely long.

Liu Jie finally made it to dawn.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the fat woman told Liu Jie good news. A supply ship would arrive at Paradise Village to replenish supplies this morning.
Chapter completed!
