Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 238 One hundred and fifty-three. Return

   Chapter 238 One hundred and fifty three. Return

  The scattered searchlights landed around the windbreak and didn't swing away. The people on the ship had already spotted Lu Li.

   The sound of the whistle, like a greeting, cut through the night sky.

  Lu Li was in no hurry to get close to the beach. The ship was unable to dock, and it would take some time for the people on board to lower the boat to dock.

sand-

   An oil lamp was pushed to the mouth of the cave, and sand accumulated around it.

  Lu Li picked up the oil lamp silently, struck a match to light it, and dispelled the darkness around the sand wall.

   Looking back at the sea, a faint ray of light seemed to float on the sea, and a faint outline appeared, floating towards the beach.

   It won't be long before the small wooden boat arrives at Wanghai Cliff.

   Friday in the windbreak point made up his mind not to board the ship with Lu Li, and no longer asked her, Lu Li carried the oil lamp and walked towards the coastline.

   He paused briefly on the sand where the tide did not reach, and drew an arrow on the gravel, pointing to the windbreak.

  If a hapless man drifts to Wanghai Cliff like him, he can have a fairly safe resting spot and eat a meal that is not so delicious but can satisfy his hunger.

  Whoa—

  The sound of the waves rushed into my ears, and the cold and dark sea washed Lu Li's feet.

  Lu Li stopped and watched the boat approaching the sea a dozen meters away. A figure rowed the oars, and a figure stood on the boat, holding an oil lamp.

   After waiting for a while, the small wooden boat stopped in the shallow water.

  Waterproof boots fell into the water at the depth of the calf. This old man with an oil lamp had gray hair, but his body was as strong as a middle-aged man. His khaki shirt had four or five pockets.

   "I'm glad to see that you're fine, child." The old man reached out and held Lu Li, with joy and relief in his eyes: "These two days must be very tormented."

  The identity of the old man is a member of the Alliance rescue team.

  The long-winded Tristan and Lu Li said about them, which is a group of members of the alliance and members of the two major organizations.

   Exorcists often walk in mysterious and strange areas, and it is not surprising that they suddenly lose contact and even their life and death are unknown. The Alliance rescue team was born from this, looking for missing survivors who might have survived.

  If he was alive.

The    Alliance Rescue Squad consists of two parts, one is the Alliance personnel, and the other is the exorcists whose sanity is too low and forced to retire. They did not want to leave the front line of confrontation with the weird, and chose to join the Alliance rescue team.

  If Lu Li's bad sanity is exposed and forced to retire, he can consider joining this team and continue to contribute to the human world.

"fine."

   Lu Li replied. If he doesn't get into trouble, he can survive on Wanghai Cliff for a long time.

   "I can see it." The old man couldn't see the troubles caused by fatigue and hunger from Lu Li's face, although his shirt looked a little dirty, and his hair of the same color as the night was messy on his forehead.

   He stepped aside and said, "Let's get on board."

  Lu Li's eyes fell on the boat behind the old man, and suddenly thought of the writing that appeared on the reclining chair last night, his expression was a little dazed, but he recovered in an instant.

"Um."

  Lu Li nodded, and came to the wooden boat and buried it in the boat.

  The swaying wooden boat made it unsteady to stand. Lu Li sat down, took the oil lamp handed over by the old man, and watched him push the boat away from the shore, and then flexibly jumped onto the boat.

   If you ignore his gray hair and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his physical condition is almost the same as that of a middle-aged man.

   The three people on the boat were reflected in the dark sea, twisted and broken with the waves.

The    searchlight didn't fall around the boat, it swayed around, surveying the surroundings.

  The boat rowed a distance of tens of meters and reached the side of the ship. A gondola dropped from the overhead deck to the sky above the wooden boat.

   "You go up first." The old man said with a smile.

  Lu Li was not polite, stepped into the gondola and stood firm, he still held the oil lamp, and did not let his guard down because he was saved. The other hand grabbed the rope and was lifted little by little from the sea.

   squeak-squeak-

   The gondola swayed slightly. Although it is difficult to understand that a steam ship has such an old way of boarding, it is also expected.

  Industry has just been born, and people's thinking has not been reversed.

  Several sailors surrounded the edge, waiting for the gondola to come up, and then pull Lu Li up to the deck, then put it down, and pull up the second person.

   The captain on the side took off his hat and greeted Lu Li, who nodded in response. His eyes swept across the faces of the courtyard gates. They were all ordinary people who cooperated with the three major organizations.

   stood by and watched the sailors pull the crew and the old man onto the deck one after another.

   Before the old man came up, he had hung the two hanging ropes on the wooden boat, and was pulled up by the sailors simultaneously.

  Lu Li and the old man stood on the edge. He said with emotion: "This place is 40 nautical miles from the disc reef. I can't believe how you floated here in the middle of the night."

   They almost gave up the rescue operation, and no one thought that anyone could survive in the vast deep sea.

   "The investigator saved me." Lu Li said suddenly.

   is the complete opposite of Friday's plan - Lu Li has no plans to fabricate the results, even though this will make Lu Li go through the apprenticeship event again.

   And Lu Li has a deeper idea.

   Under the firelight, the old man's face was gloomy and uncertain, and his expression became a little strange: "Investigator? Where did the people go?"

   "We parted when the boat came, and she said she would sneak aboard. Probably somewhere on the boat now."

The gentle smile on the old man's face disappeared, his eyes narrowed into a gap, and he swept across the deck without a trace, his voice became low, and it was difficult to hear on the deck where the sea breeze was blowing: "There is news that may make you a little uneasy. This time, because it was a special event, there were no investigators to follow the protection secretly."

   Lu Li fell silent.

  The old man added: "But maybe it's not what we thought. Maybe a passing investigator helped you by the way. After all, you are now standing on the boat safe and sound."

   Lu Li was still silent. He tilted his head to look at the island that was several tens of meters away from the boat. In the dark night, the entire island was only a dark outline, and it was impossible to identify the location of the windbreak.

   Of course he had always been suspicious of Friday's identity, but as the old man said, she didn't show any ill will towards Lu Li, but instead helped Lu Li escape from the dead and return to the ferry, and returned to the ship alive.

   This help makes Lu Li care about her identity, but he won't delve into it too deeply.

  So on Friday, like she said, did she hide in a corner of the ship, or did she stay on the cliff looking out?

   "You don't look surprised." The old man's voice sounded in his ears.

  Lu Li looked back and said, "Because there were some guesses before."

   For example, say Friday exactly when the rescue will come.

   At this moment, there was a loud noise not far away, and Lu Li and the old man saw that the wooden boat had been pulled up to the side of the boat, and was overturned and lifted to the deck by the sailors.

   The chief mate was standing on the side of the ship, and his command was now empty on the deck.

   "Return! Go home!"
