The room is indeed reserved, and I can have a place to stay, but the hotel manager is very sorry, saying that the letter that Mr. Batu gave him was clearly locked in the safe, but it disappeared two days ago. It is undoubtedly a very frustrating thing to know that there is a letter and not see this letter. Moreover, Batu has been away from the hotel for five days and has not returned, which of course shows that the matter is very unusual. This unusual matter may have been explained in that letter, but now this letter, gone! I was very unhappy and said to the manager: "Do you always deal with customers' entrustments like this?"

The manager looked very embarrassed: "No, no, of course not! We express our apologies for this matter, and... our store has already reported to the local police, and the inspector has come to investigate several times... Ah, again Coincidentally, Detective Inspector Shiwan is here!" The manager poked his head straight out, I turned around and saw a fat man in a police officer's uniform walking in slowly, although the Inspector was there Walking, but looking at the expression on his face, he was completely asleep. I couldn't help sighing, expecting such a detective to find out Batu's letter, that's simply impossible!

I immediately turned my head: "Okay, forget about losing the letter, you send someone to take me to my room!" "Yes! Yes!" The manager quickly agreed, stretched out his hand to summon a waiter, and helped me carry my suitcase. An old elevator took me to the third floor and stopped in front of Room 326. . The waiter opened the door and I went in.It was a very beautiful double room, with floor-to-ceiling windows on one side leading to the balcony, where one could see many small bungalows as beautiful as pictures. I gave the tip, the waiter retired, and I stood in the middle of the house.

Ever since I knew that Batu had a letter for me, but I never received it, and he went away for five days and didn't come back, I already felt that this small town, which looks so calm and peaceful on the outside, is really Contains extremely mysterious and extremely dangerous things! I stood in the middle of the room for a while, then turned around and saw the two single beds.On the bed on the left, there is a red and black tie.This Italian silk tie, I could tell at a glance that it belonged to Bartle. Then, the bed on the right is, of course, mine. I went to the bed, picked up the pillow, and patted it hard. It was my habit when I went to bed. I only patted twice, and suddenly there was a "swipe", and a piece of paper fell out from the pillowcase.

I quickly picked up the piece of paper, only to see two lines written on the paper: "I have left a letter, you may not receive it, be careful, remember, be careful, be careful! I am going to the cave by the sea." The thick and fluttering handwriting was Batu's handwriting. I quickly crumpled the piece of paper. At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder why this piece of paper was in the pillowcase. ? This question seems superfluous, because since it was Batu's handwriting, of course it was Batu who left it in the pillow case. However, even the letter that Batu gave to the hotel manager, who locked it in the hotel safe, has disappeared, so why can this piece of paper stay?The waiter came in every day to clean up the room, why didn't he find that piece of paper?

And Batu told me to be careful so much, what exactly does this mean? I was eager to know the details, and even more wanted to know if there were other letters from Batu left in the room for me. I began to check carefully. Batu's things were all there, and there were many tools. I took a look. Then he gave a knowing smile, it was a variety of spy tools and secret weapons. It seems that these things are very complete and there is nothing missing.I feel that my top priority now is to try to meet Batu first! Therefore, I decided to go to the "cave by the sea" immediately. I picked up a few suitable tools from Batu's toolbox and brought them with me. When I was about to leave, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Moreover, the person who knocked on the door was obviously a lazy and impolite guy, because he only knocked twice and pushed the door open without waiting for my answer. I put one hand in the pocket, and in the pocket hand I gripped a very small pistol. However, when the door was pushed open, I took my hand out of the bag, because I had already seen that the giant standing at the door was none other than Inspector Shiwan! Inspector Shi Wan's eyes, which were so fat that they could barely open, opened slightly: "Welcome me to visit?" I said coldly, "I'm not welcome, you're here too!"

The fat guy walked in swaggeringly: "Yeah, I'm not welcome, I'm here too. In fact, very few people would welcome me. Hey, I'm a detective. It's an annoying job. Yes. No? Hey, hey!" Inspector Shi Wan not only kept smiling hatefully, but also sat down on the sofa honestly. I gave him a cold look and said: "You like to sit here, just sit, I want to go out gone." "You can't go out," he raised his fat hand, "Passport, sir, I have the right to check." I just said coldly: "Oh, that's how it is. I didn't know you had such great power. However, I still wonder if your status is high enough to know that you have such a certificate!"

I reached into my pocket, took out the ID issued to me by the international police, and waved it in front of him. There are not many people who have obtained this kind of certificate. Each such certificate has the autographs of more than 70 national police chiefs. Those who have this kind of certificate can obtain Ease of movement.But there is one thing, only high-ranking police officers know the existence of this kind of certificate. The fat man blinked his eyes. I couldn't tell if he really didn't know or if he didn't know. He just lazily said: "What are you holding in your hand? I know it's not a passport!"

I put away the certificate and said with a sneer, "You don't recognize the origin of this certificate? Then, go and call your boss. If your boss doesn't recognize you, go and call your boss's boss!" Generally speaking, my way of speaking is enough to intimidate the other party. However, although Detective Shi Wan looks fat and fat on the outside, in fact, he is a stubborn and not easy to deal with. Far from being intimidated by my words, he still insisted: "Passport, sir, if you refuse, I have the right to arrest you!" I looked at him for a while, and finally took out my passport and handed it to him, because I was eager to find Batu, and I didn't want to waste time with this big fat man.

Inspector Shiwan received the passport, opened it, and glanced at it: "Well, your name is Wesley?" I said angrily, "It's clearly written on it!" He looked at it for a while, then closed my passport, but instead of returning it to me, he put it in his pocket: "Your passport must be kept in the police station." I was taken aback for a moment and said, "Why?" He flicked his eyes: "No reason, I think it is necessary!" I can't bear it anymore, my fist has been raised! Just when my fist was about to hit him with at least three fat chins, I suddenly remembered Batu's warning: be careful, be careful! All the actions of this fat detective are unreasonable. He seems to be trying to provoke me deliberately, and wants me to hit him. If I shot him, what would happen?Beating up a police officer is of course a violation of the law. Even if you can finally get away with it, you will definitely suffer a lot of immediate losses! As soon as I thought of this, I immediately changed my mind. I raised my hand and put it down: "Okay, then, when can I get my passport back, Mr. Detective?" A very surprised look appeared on Shi Wan's fat face, as if wondering why I could bear it. He patted my passport gently on his hand: "When I think I can return it to you. Also, you have to report to the police station once a day." Now that I have made up my mind not to lose my temper, I will never get angry if he says something absurd to irritate me. I smiled at him: "Okay, it seems that I don't look like a tourist. Looks like a suspect." When I said this, I was really very happy in my heart. Because since this fat guy came to deal with me like this, of course he had a purpose, and I just came to this small town, and Batu disappeared for five days. It seems that his situation will not be too serious. Wonderful, I can say that I have no clue, no clue at all! Since the fat guy insists on embarrassing me, he sent it to my door and became a clue to my actions. How could I not like it? The look on the fat guy's face became even more strange. He still stared at me, and said again: "The time you report for duty every day is seven o'clock in the morning, and that's when we start working." "Well, that's fine for me, I'm used to getting up early." The fat guy was helpless for the time being. He stood up. I really doubted how much weight a person's two legs could support, because the fat guy seemed to weigh at least three hundred pounds. He walked towards the door, stopped at the door, and turned his head: "Goodbye!" I smiled at him: "You go carefully." He also gave me a very ugly smile in return, and then walked away. I was still standing in the room for a minute after he left. At this time, my heart was very confused. Although this fat guy was my only clue, but now I was in a disadvantageous position. I was almost sure that if I went out, I would definitely be followed. Originally, getting rid of stalking was my forte, but there were also conditions. The condition was that I must be in a place I was familiar with, not in an unfamiliar place like now. Of course, I still don't know why the fat guy is following me, and I don't know what the identity of the fat guy is, but no matter what, being followed is not always a pleasant thing. If I don't get followed, the only possibility is not to go out through the door.So, after thinking about it for a while, I went to close the door, and then, I used Batu's things to disguise myself. Batu obviously also put on makeup, because he left many local people's clothes behind, and when I drove all the way into the town, I also noticed the most common clothes of the local people. I used a special potion to make my hair curly, and a very delicate wire clip to make my eyes look bigger, and I used soft glue to heighten my nose, and then painted me black. skin. In that way, it seemed to me that he was an ordinary person in a Spanish coastal town. Then, I pushed open the bathroom window. Behind the window of the bathroom is an alley, that alley is very lonely, I walked out through the window easily, and climbed down the water pipe, I must move quickly, the faster I am, the chance of being discovered is better the less. When I was still eight or nine feet away from the ground, I loosened my hands and bent my body, and I fell to the ground.When I fell to the ground and stood up, there was a little girl about four years old in the alley with two thick braids, staring at me with wide-open eyes. I put my finger on my lips to signal her to keep quiet, and as soon as I ran out of the alley, I slowed down. Because the life in this small town is too leisurely, if I show a hurried look, it is easy to show flaws. Originally, I also wanted to sneak into the hotel and have a joke with the fat guy or his accomplices.But I immediately dismissed this idea, because at this time, everything is not sure, it is better not to make troubles for myself. In a noodle shop, I bought a roll of sausage bread and gnawed on it, and when women passed by, I stared at them, which made me look more like a local. After I walked for dozens of yards, I was sure that no one was following me, and I felt more at ease. Fifteen minutes later, I came to the beach. Batu once said that although this town is small, it is very cultured and a place with a long history. I came to the seaside to prove that Batu's statement is correct. There is a bay by the sea. On both sides of the bay, there are steep cliffs. On the cliffs, I counted as many as seven ancient castles. The buildings of the seven ancient castles are extremely magnificent. Hundreds of years ago, when the Spanish navy was in its heyday, this town might have been a very important naval base, but now, of course, Spain is in decline. It is an insignificant country. Who would have thought that it once ruled the world?At this time, the wind on the beach was very tight, and the waves rushed up to the rocks, and on the dark rocks, dazzling white waves rolled. I looked at the cliffs on both sides and saw that there were many caves under the cliffs, and the caves seemed to be connected to each other. I paced back and forth by the seaside, thinking quickly in my mind. I imagined that Batu had discovered something two days after arriving here, and then went to the cave by the sea. However, this time, he went for five days without a trace! Now, I am also at the beach.If something bad happens to Batu, will I follow in his footsteps? Just at this time, a very strong sea wind blew over, I shrank my body, I decided to go to the left first, I came to the end of the bay, and began to climb up the rock. There is no road on the cliff, but the protruding rocks can provide me with a foothold, so I move my back against the cliff and move sideways. I moved like this for about twenty yards, and suddenly I heard someone calling me from above me: " Hey, what are you doing?" The person who called me spoke Spanish. My Spanish is not very good, but I can manage a few words. I looked up and saw about twenty feet above me. There is a groove in the cliff , that groove, just enough to sit a person very comfortably. A middle-aged man was sitting inside, and I raised my hand to him: "Don't meddle in my business, and don't tell others!" I winked at him pretending to be mysterious, and hummed a famous Spanish love song.I was trying to create the impression that I was going to meet beautiful women in those caves. But all my pretensions seemed to be in vain, the middle-aged man said again: "You are not from the town, who are you?" I was stunned for a while, this guy's tone was so sure, it seemed that it was difficult for me to pretend anymore. I asked angrily, "Hey, meddlesome, who are you?" The man laughed "haha" and said, "If you don't even know me, then you are definitely not from Tikalong Town. Follow my orders and go back to the beach, hurry up!" When he said the word "fast", he had already grabbed a large shotgun and pointed it at me. The distance between him and me was not very great, and if this large fowling gun fired, I would be wounded, if not killed, and that was not my liking. I quickly raised my hand: "Hey, what's going on?" The man said coldly: "Go back to the beach, or I will launch." I shouted: "Why? Can't I go to the cave under the cliff there? Someone is waiting for me there!" The man laughed in a very ugly voice: "Maybe there will be someone waiting for you there, but the person waiting for you must have only bones left." I don't understand what he means by saying this, but I can always tell that this person sitting here must be responsible for some kind of mission, and he is probably on guard here to prevent others from passing by. The more people are guarding here, the more it means that there is something ulterior ahead, and I have to go there. It's meaningless to continue entangled with this person, and it's not good for me, so I raised my hand, "Okay, okay, I'll just go back, don't worry!" As I said to go back, I turned around. And just as I turned around, my hand tightened, and a needle with a strong anesthetic was shot out from a special device. Before that guy understood what was going on, The poisonous needle had already pierced his wrist, and when he let go, the large shotgun fell downward. As soon as I reached out and caught the shotgun, within a second, the anesthetic took effect, and he would "sleep" in the groove above the cliff for six hours. Just when he was about to throw the large shotgun in his hand into the sea, suddenly, there was a "beep" sound from the handle of the shotgun. That voice is very low, but it sounds very clear. This voice is no stranger to me, because it is the voice of a radio intercom notifying the other party that someone is speaking. I looked down and at the same time stretched out my hand to clap on the handle of the gun. With a sound of "slap", a small cover on the handle of the gun popped open, and a small radio intercom hidden in the handle of the gun was also revealed. I was stunned for a while, then reached out and pressed a button, and I immediately heard a crisp female voice: "No. 34, routine report, make a routine report." I was stunned again, and then said: "Everything is safe." I don't know what "routine report" means or how I should say it, so I'll just say "all is well". After I spoke, there was a "hmm" sound, followed by a "click", as if he was satisfied with my answer. I got an important lead!Knowing that there is a huge organization in such a peaceful small town! It is undoubtedly an extremely large organization. The person who received the anesthesia injection was "No. 34". Even if he was the last one, it also shows that this organization sent out the same lookouts as him. , at least thirty or forty. What kind of organization is that?Smuggling party?Counterfeit banknote syndicate?Drug trafficking organization? I have accidentally discovered the existence of this organization, what should I do?Continue to investigate?Did you notify the local police?Or completely ignore it! When I thought of "what should I do", my heart suddenly moved, and I wondered why at the beginning of the incident, I never thought that the incident might be related to the "red moon"! I still held the shotgun in my hand, and when I thought that the clues I had obtained might be related to the purpose of my coming here, my body shook again, and at the same time, I looked at the shotgun a few more times. Eye. I can say that I am an expert in all kinds of weapons since ancient times, so when I looked at the shotgun a few more times, I immediately found that it was not a shotgun! It has the shape of a shotgun, but in fact, it is a rocket gun with extremely long range and strong lethality! In order to prove my observations correct, I pushed a trigger, facing the sea, and pulled the gun. With a sound of "shh", a small rocket about six inches long was shot forward at a very high speed, and it flew more than 300 yards before falling into the sea in a parabola, followed by a "boom" With a sound, the rocket exploded in the sea water, and several thick sea water surged up. The recoil from the bazooka was also quite strong, causing my body to slam backwards, and my shoulder hit the rock, which was very painful. This unexpected discovery surprised me even more. This kind of firearm is the latest type. I only know that there are pistol-type rocket guns. As for the shotgun type, this is the first time I have seen it! I know in my heart that the abnormality of the matter must be far beyond what I can imagine! I also threw the gun into the sea, and then I walked slowly along the cliff.At this time, I had my own weapon in my hand. It was a gun capable of firing eighteen needles. I used one just now. It was a very good weapon, because when it was fired, Almost no sound. Ten minutes later, I approached a cave. I leaned against the edge of the cave and listened carefully. No sound could be heard except the turbulent, hollow sound of sea water rushing into the cavern. I turned from the edge of the cave to the entrance of the cave, jumped inward, and then ran a few steps sideways, so that after I entered the cave, my body was close to the stone wall. However, I immediately realized that my series of actions were all unnecessary, because there was no one in this cave! The cave was quite deep, but I couldn't go any farther, because the cave was full of sea water, and the sea water flowed in through the narrow mouth, forming a very large pool inside. Due to the dark light in the cave, the big water pool looks very dark and mysterious. I watched for a while, and I was sure there was no one inside, so I backed out. I jumped over a space about five feet wide and continued to move forward. Soon, I came to the entrance of the second cave. I still used very careful movements to swipe into the hole, but that cave was empty as well. In the next three hours I went into twenty-seven caves, and I was at least five miles away from the town. The caves are colorful, some are narrow and deep, some are wide and round, some are full of upside-down stalactites, and some are so black that you can hardly see your fingers. But my purpose is not to seek the secrets, but to find people of! And I haven't seen any of them! The cliff has gradually become flat, and there is another large beach in front of me. I came to the beach. During those three hours, I jumped up and down, nervous, but found nothing. After I came to the beach, I really felt Very tired. The sand on the beach is white and fine, and many people are enjoying the sun. On the side of the road not far from the beach, there are several quite expensive big cars parked. I also saw that there were two snack bars on the side of the road. I needed to take a break, so I walked to one of the two snack bars. I opened the door, and the store was very empty. A fat woman was full She greeted me with a smile on her face, mumbling in her mouth, not knowing what she was talking about. I sat down and stretched my body. The fat woman said, "Beer, I know you need beer just by looking at you!" I really don't want her to bother me anymore, beer is just beer, so I nodded and waved her away. But I never thought that it was still her who brought the beer. After she put the beer in front of me, she stood beside me again: "This beer is the most delicious in the world, and you are only alone? Do you want to find someone to accompany you?" I sighed secretly in my heart, I was just going to drink up the beer quickly and leave, there is nothing more annoying than a talkative fat woman in the world.So I picked up the cup. Unexpectedly, when I picked up the cup, the fat woman suddenly gave a strange smile. Before I could raise my head to see why she was laughing, the back of my neck was already hit hard. hit! That blow was naturally made by that fat woman, because besides her, there is absolutely no other person by my side, and if there is a third person, I will definitely pay attention to it secretly, but I don’t care about such a trivial person. Who would pay attention to a fat woman? However, the person who received the least attention was the most dangerous person. The force of that blow made me fall down, and the beer in my hand also splashed on my head and face. It was good for me to have the beer splashed all over my face, because it made me somewhat more sober. I quickly turned over, but when I turned around, I only saw an extremely huge figure, dodging to the side, and then, I was kicked heavily on the back. The two attacks in succession made me almost faint, and I rolled away in a hurry. When I rolled away, my hands were not empty. I raised my hand and grabbed the fat woman's apron, hoping to pull her down!
