Chapter 8 1. The male corpse under the Tiger Head Cliff

The unnamed male corpse was discovered by Lao Hu at the foot of Hutou Cliff. Hutou Cliff is named for its majestic and steep terrain, and a huge boulder standing tall, which looks like a tiger with its head raised and howling.But what makes Hutou Cliff famous all over the world is the torrent of "Ghosts Can't Escape" that rolls under the cliff.Since ancient times, this place has been a sad place for sailors. In the early years, those small sailboats from outside often disappeared after spinning two or three times in the huge waves before they could figure out what happened.Once a person is spun away, he will never come up again.Even in calm weather, the "ghosts can't escape" after low tide, and the reefs are everywhere, which looks like a group of hideous ghosts, which makes people feel palpitating.As a result, the complex geographical conditions of "Ghosts Can't Escape" acted as an accomplice in devouring life.However, "Ghosts Can't Escape", a devilish and sinister place, is also the closest place on the long coastline to the high seas. As long as you successfully escape "Ghosts Can't Escape", the ship will reach the high seas in the blink of an eye.Therefore, "Ghosts Can't Escape" has been favored by smugglers in recent years and has become a "paradise" for their adventures.Just a year ago, the day before Lao Hu was about to retire from the border police station, a group of stowaways from the south smuggled into the open sea from "Ghosts Can't Escape".The frontier police station didn't realize it until foreign newspapers published the list of smugglers—this is really a shame for the frontier police station!It was the twenty-third of October, and it was a stormy sea.In this kind of weather, even the old fishermen who have been familiar with the water for many years on the beach will hesitate to go out to sea, and the outsiders who don't touch the water will simply look at the sea and sigh, making it difficult to move an inch.Therefore, Lao Hu and the others relaxed their vigilance, and held a farewell party for "the old director, Comrade Hu Haifeng, retired gloriously"—what still puzzles Lao Hu is that this group of twenty-somethings from the south Where did the young man get the motor sailing boat, and how did he escape the clutches of "Ghosts Can't Escape"?Obviously, without the help of local water-savvy people, it will be difficult for them to achieve their goals.But afterwards, although after many investigations, the Provincial Public Security Bureau also sent a detection team to assist in the investigation, but did not get any relevant clues.

Since Lao Hu retired, he has become a frequent visitor to Hutouya.He's here to make up for his mistakes.It was around nine o'clock this morning that Lao Hu found the body stuck in the crevice of the reef from Hutou Cliff.At this time, the sea was calm and calm, and the sun was hanging high in the center of the pure water-like sky, shining affectionately on the vast expanse of blue sea.I really didn't expect that the weather would always be against the local meteorological station. The weather forecast last night said that due to the influence of a cold air from Siberia, the wind force at sea would reach level 8 from night to day, and there would be showers, which made the old man Hu found out the raincoat in the closet early in the evening.Unexpectedly, he woke up early and rushed to Hutou Cliff, but encountered the rare good weather in October to go to the sea.The sea is ebbing, and under the Hutou Cliff, the waves that usually show their teeth and claws are shrinking into the sea little by little. Gradually, the outlines of rare reefs begin to appear under the cliff.It was at this time that Lao Hu found a black thing curled up motionless between the two reefs that were beginning to appear.Relying on the intuition of the old frontier guard, Lao Hu immediately took out the high-powered binoculars that he always carried around his waist to distinguish carefully.It was a male corpse that got stuck in the crevice of the reef.
