Chapter 94 Sea Shrine
"Sister, your ideas are too simple and you don't understand the world at all..."
Wayne said goodbye to the female star in the corridor, looked at the back of her elegant blond hair and white dress, closed the door and shook his head.
Lily formulated a detailed strategy for him, how to capture the heart of the eldest lady, how to change Auston's attitude, and how to break into the core of the Landau family. If there was no extraordinary power in this world, the three-step plan was very maneuverable.
Unfortunately, Lily doesn't know the truth about this world.
Wayne couldn't help but feel pity for her. It's understandable that ordinary people don't know the real world. Frank's top management must know that they knew the world was so dangerous and sent ignorant intelligence agents to challenge the extraordinary with their flesh and blood. force.
Wayne felt lucky for Lily again. If she really came into contact with Auston and started an operation targeting his lover, she would most likely be stuffed into a cement bucket to fill the river.
The Landau family is a member of the magical world. It is too easy for Auston to investigate Lily. He does not need to be tortured or stuffed with mushrooms.
Wayne judged his and Lily's secret agent level, and the result was obvious, cannon fodder level.
He even suspected that the original person had noticed the truth of the world, so he performed all kinds of bizarre operations, and did not behave like an espionage officer.
As for where to learn the truth about the world...
Wayne raised his eyebrows, and a follower of the Goddess of Death popped out.
Looking at it this way, he and the goddess of death are indeed very close.
"Forget it, why are you thinking so much? It would be a pity not to practice in the beautiful scenery."
Wayne collapsed on the sofa and started practicing with the ancient silver coin in his hand. The ancient silver coin was Gangplank's property and was lent to him for use and would be taken back at any time.
The opportunity is rare, so the top priority is to light the six-pointed star first. Compared with this top priority, all other things can be put aside.
"No, there's something we can't let go of..."
Wayne pouted. He encountered two consecutive attacks on the cruise ship. One was a lunatic asylum intimidation, and the other was a female star's seduction. The mastermind behind the scenes was Auston.
That is to say, he was well-connected and was a brother from all over the world, and he easily defused two attacks. If it were another magician apprentice, he would have stumbled twice in a row and died without knowing how.
Furthermore, according to what Plank and Lily said, they knew about the voyage early in the morning and were waiting for him to come. This means that the invitation letter from the White Glove Association was also sent by Auston.
Wayne was not surprised that Auston could have such means. He was rich and willful. It was reasonable for him to be the biggest brother in the police station, the biggest brother in the lunatic asylum, and the biggest brother in the White Glove Association.
He was just curious about what else was planned on Longxin Island.
"President, you have successfully aroused my interest!"
Don't rush for revenge. Patience is king when you are weak. But the more he thought about taking a step back, the angrier he became. Wayne took several steps back, thinking that it was time to launch a counterattack.
This question was very difficult. After much thought, he could only endure it with his own ability, unless...
A nightmare of shadows drifted before Wayne's eyes.
"How about transforming into a death knight and going to his house?"
Wayne thought about the scene of pressing Auston to the ground and rubbing him, and couldn't help laughing heartily, but then he thought that the teacher and Veronica would be implicated, so he could only give up with regret.
"I don't want to involve the teacher and Veronica, and neither does he. Looking at it this way, this guy is still a man."
Wayne secretly thought that it was unfortunate that he, a majestic death knight, could not do anything to an old white-faced guy jumping up and down.
What Wayne didn't know was that the old white face was also in an unlucky situation. The latter called Fula and was called Mr. Landau. He was so angry that he smashed the phone.
————
The next day, when the waiter brought the dining cart, Wallace came uninvited, took Wayne's hand and asked him to help put out the fire.
Give me a brother, from today on, you are my brother!
Although the above is not Wallace's original words, the translation is roughly the same.
There are only two days left on the cruise ship, and the filming schedule is very tight. If the third male lead's scenes are not filmed, the budget will definitely exceed the budget. Overspending will mean that the production company will be unhappy and will affect the investment in the next movie.
Wallace wanted to find a third male lead, and was ready to shave his beard and do it himself. Unfortunately, Lily disagreed, and the third male lead had to be Wayne.
"Wallace, I'm really busy, and I warned you yesterday that I'll call someone if you come back again."
"No, Lily told me that she discussed it with you yesterday."
Wallace grabbed Wayne and said, "You can delete the sex scene. It's up to you to adjust the kissing scene. The script has modified the setting of the third male lead. You are no longer a pervert, but the heroine's ex-boyfriend." , died tragically in the hands of monsters for love..."
All in all, the third male character has become a positive character, and his sacrifice will bring a lot of tears, especially for girls who are full of fantasies about love, that will be a sure blow.
Wayne nodded, as expected, this was one of the strategies designed by Lily for him.
On the day the movie was released, he invited Veronica to the cinema, who burst into tears.
Interesting!
Wayne pondered for three or two seconds and agreed to take over the script. Wallace said that it would not take up too much of his time. The scenes on the cruise ship would be filmed within half a day, and the scenes on Dragon Heart Island would be even less. The team staged the shot, and when he was trampled to death by the prop gorilla, he directly stepped into the stand-in.
Wayne's shooting schedule lasted from 10am to 2pm and ended just before tea time.
The third male actor didn't have many lines, and was basically focused on his scenes with the heroine. Because the passionate scenes were deleted and the character was changed to a warm and masculine character, the third male actor looked like a licking dog.
Just lick the dog, it doesn't matter to Wayne, after all, he actually licked it in the movie. Unlike the second lead actor, the cameraman boyfriend in the script didn't even have a kiss scene with the heroine.
In the last kiss scene, Lily asked Wayne if he wanted to do it for real, but Wayne decisively refused. If Lily was just an ordinary big star, he wouldn't mind the sex scene. But knowing that she was a hard-working cannon fodder, he really couldn't bear to take advantage of her.
Lily didn't persist, and a dislocation ended the entire scene of Wayne on the cruise ship.
At three o'clock in the morning on August 8, Wayne's life essence was filled, six points of light bloomed, and the resonating soul was infinitely satisfied.
On August 10, the Polar Star arrived at Longxin Island in the North Sea.
Viewed from a high place, Longxin Island is shaped like a heart, ignoring the scattered uninhabited islands around it, covering an area of about 600 square kilometers.
There are mountains and dense forests on one side of the island, and the terrain is flat on the other side. There is a natural port, but it cannot be said to be excellent. It can only be used as a coastal supply line and cannot become a military location.
In comparison, the archipelago two hundred nautical miles away is more in line with the navy's port requirements.
Going a step further, the geographical location of Longxin Island determines that its fishery is developed. The capitalists guarded the natural fishing ground and the hard-working islanders and earned a lot of surplus value.
In the past two years, capitalists have set their sights on the primitive jungle of Longxin Island and embarked on tourism development projects. However, due to the continued economic downturn, this plan had to be postponed.
Wayne stepped into the port and separated from the crew. He took the invitation letter and found the pick-up driver and went to the destination Butt Manor. Bart Manor is located on the volcanic cliff of Crescent Bay on Longxin Island. It belongs to the local wealthy Bart family. The deceased Myron Bart drowned a month ago.
According to the police investigation, this was an accidental drowning incident and there was no possibility of homicide. However, Myron's wife Marina did not think so and contacted the White Glove Association and invited professional detectives to re-investigate the cause of her husband's death.
Marina believes that her husband died of homicide and that the murderer was a member of the family.
The entrustment involving property division is very classic and exists in any era and any background.
Wayne was sitting in the back row. To his left was the coastline and fishing boats, and to his right were tall and short houses. Occasionally he saw a church, and he immediately became interested. He was curious and started talking to the driver who picked up the car.
It was a church similar to the Church of Heavenly Father, with a strange five-pointed star logo hanging on it. It was definitely not the traditional belief in his impression.
Because of the Geocentric Religion, Wayne was very resistant to these strange churches. He always felt that there were evil gods behind these churches, and would initiate group sacrifices if they disagreed.
"That is the Poseidon Shrine. The islanders all believe in the Poseidon. They pray to the Poseidon every time before going to sea to bless there will be no storms and to bless them to return home with a full load..."
The driver talked about the standard beliefs of Longxin Island, and was quite respectful to the sea god in his words. Although he was not a believer, most of his relatives and friends worked in the fishing company, so he was influenced to believe it.
Anyway, it’s the same for anyone who believes in it. You don’t have to spend money to buy indulgences at Haijin Shrine. It’s free, so it doesn’t hurt to believe in it.
Wayne deeply agreed with the simple and unpretentious belief. He inquired from the side and asked vaguely whether the Sea Shrine distributed eggs and whether it was engaged in sacrificial rituals.
The driver thought for a while. As far as he knew, Poseidon was a peaceful and selfless god who never asked for anything from his believers. The faith is also very simple. It requires a sincere heart and a spiritual spirit. A devout believer can return safely from the sea and go to the church to fulfill his vows.
The way to make a wish is very simple. There is a pool in the center of the church square, which is connected to the sea. Each person who goes out to sea releases a fish in the pool, which means that he is reborn at the moment of death.
Wayne didn't hear anything wrong with it. It was indeed a simple and pure belief, but he still remembered the name of Haijin Shrine. He was very imaginative and contacted the fishing company run by the deceased Myron, suspecting that this was a murder case of vicious revenge.
Forty minutes later, the vehicle arrived at Bart Manor, a four-story house built on the edge of a cliff, with one side facing the sea and a spectacular view.
Wayne was used to seeing large mansions and said that Butte Manor was just average. Compared with the Landau family's large mansion, it was just a small farm in the countryside.
Ordinary stuff!
The car passed through the double iron gates of the high fence. Wayne asked to get out of the car and walk. He wanted to go and see the garden pool where the deceased drowned.
After a month, the clues are definitely gone, but getting familiar with the scene is better than nothing.
The driver did not refuse and praised Wayne's professionalism. He drove to the crime scene, stopped the car, lit a cigarette and waited quietly.
The big house in Bart Manor is very ordinary, but the lawn and green space of the manor are very wide. A large area of land was enclosed during the construction. The pool is larger than Wayne imagined. It is a small artificial lake and is very grand.
Wayne walked half a circle around the lake. He had excellent eyesight and confirmed that the deepest point of the artificial lake was less than three meters. Assuming that the deceased could swim, it was indeed unlikely that he died from accidentally falling into the water.
But the possibility of accidentally falling into the water cannot be ruled out. According to the driver, the deceased drank a lot. If you drown after drinking, let alone an artificial lake, a bowl of tomato soup can kill you from suffocation.
Just as he was thinking about it, two figures, one tall and one short, walked in front of him. Wayne looked at them intently, taking stock of their clothes and appearance.
The girl on the left is about 1.6 meters tall. She is about seventeen or eighteen years old. She wears a black and white maid uniform with flat front and back. She weighs less than a hundred by visual inspection.
The lady on the right has a cold temperament and is nearly 1.8 meters tall, almost the same as Wayne.
She was wearing a long black dress, with a straight nose bridge, prominent cheekbones, a square jaw, and sharp and three-dimensional facial features.
Her walking pace is very interesting, not like the elegance of an aristocratic woman, but with a different kind of aura, generous and capable, and every step she takes is very particular, like the habits of a professional model.
"Who are you?" The woman stopped and looked at Wayne coldly.
"My name is Wayne, a detective from Lundam, entrusted by Mrs. Marina Bart."
"Hi, Detective Wayne, I'm Marina Bart."
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Bart."
Wayne and Marina chatted for a while. The latter, probably because her husband had just died, always had a cold face. Seeing that Wayne was about to talk about the case when they met, she asked the maid beside him to accompany Wayne and continue walking along the lake.
"The lady doesn't seem very happy. It seems she really loves her husband."
Wayne looked at the maid who was 1.6 meters tall and found that the little girl looked pretty good. He cheerfully stretched out his hand: "Wayne, what do you call her?"
"Ojia."
Just like the master, there is the maid. Ojia also has a cold face, and is very quiet and reticent in front of the enthusiastic Wayne.
"Okay Ojia, without further ado, can you tell me the specific place of Mr. Bart's death?" Wayne said, pointing to the artificial lake.
"The master did not die in the lake. He did not drown. He shot himself in his study." The maid Ojia replied.
Wayne was stunned for a moment: "Since it was suicide, why did you claim that you drowned after being drunk?"
"Because it's not a graceful way to die."
"Is it graceful to drown while drunk?"
"Um."
Aojia nodded seriously and described briefly: "It was a night, red wine, lake, moon, and a noble man who liked to recite poetry."
Wayne: (_)
Holy shit, it’s so romantic!
Wayne thought about that so-and-so, who seemed to die in this way. He drank too much and tried to catch the moon, but he died.
With such a generation, you can be as romantic as you want.
He was speechless and shook his head. It was understandable that the deceased was a noble-turned-capitalist. He had always been wealthy from his ancestors to the present. For reasons such as family prestige, he decided to die in a dignified way.
Doesn’t this make it more difficult for detectives?
"Ojia, can you take me to the study room to have a look?"
"This way please."
Ojia is very cold, basically she won't speak unless Wayne takes the initiative, but she also actively cooperates and talks about everything she knows about the investigation.
"In addition to Madam, the eldest young master also hired a detective, who arrived a week ago."
"Oh, what's the other person's name?"
"Keir Poirot, the famous detective from London."
"..."
Poirot, this surname smells like Grandma Agatha!
