Gu Yanran was also brought here. She was given a sedative by Chen She and she was sleeping in the back cabin of the plane.
Huo Shaoheng ignored Song Jinning's complaints. His mind was still thinking about what Gu Yanran said before she fainted.
Their trip this time was to verify her confession.
Huo Shaoheng interrogates suspects, but he actually doesn't like torture.
In ancient times, there was a saying that "there is nothing you can ask for under three trees." That is to say, in the case of torture to extract a confession, no matter what kind of testimony you want, the other party will tell it.
But Huo Shaoheng and others in this business want the truth, not testimony that suits their own wishes.
Therefore, in the process of searching for Gu Xiangwen, they tested Gu Yanran and went through many exhausting interrogations, but they never tortured her.
The main reason is that they know nothing about Gu Xiangwen and cannot test whether what Gu Yanran said is true or false.
Confessions that cannot be proven by circumstantial evidence are not reliable.
Because in addition to the oral confession, it must be logically complete and matched with physical evidence to be considered a complete chain of evidence.
Regarding Gu Xiangwen's whereabouts, no matter what Gu Yanran said at that time, they could not verify her confession.
So Huo Shaoheng and the others didn't waste any time.
But this time it's different.
Not to mention that Gu Nianzhi was a person they were all familiar with, and Huo Shaoheng already had information about He Zhichu's text messages. In fact, deep down in his heart, he was inclined to believe that Gu Yanran at least knew some clues about Gu Nianzhi's robbery.
So when Gu Yanran couldn't resist the death penalty and finally said something, Huo Shaoheng almost subconsciously believed it.
Because she not only had a confession, but also provided the most important physical evidence clues.
Now, they are going to the place she said to look for this physical evidence.
Huo Shaoheng turned to look outside the plane window. In the sea of clouds, the sun was like a sugar-coated egg very close at hand.
If Nianzhi were here, she would definitely hold his arm and ask him to make candied eggs for her to eat...
Huo Shaoheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and he pulled down the shutter of the window, no longer looking at the scenery outside.
…
The plane flew through the clouds, and more than ten hours later, they arrived over the Caribbean Sea, with the small country of Barbados not far ahead.
At this time, the plane was flying over the Caribbean Sea. The round blue hole on the sea was deeper and more intensely blue than the sea water elsewhere.
Song Jinning looked out of the airplane window and was full of praise for the scene here, saying, "Gu Xiangwen really installed an electronic fence in the blue hole area here?"
Huo Shaoheng opened the shutter of the window and took a look, and said "hmm".
But the blue-purple electric light that almost killed them at the bottom of the sea has disappeared.
He remembered that it was here last time when Gu Nianzhi broke the solar cell of the electronic fence.
After all this time, the remaining supplementary power supply for the electronic fence should have been used up.
The current blue hole sea area is just a blue hole, and there are no longer those terrifying blue-purple electric lights surrounding it.
"Tsk, tsk, it's really amazing." Song Jinning regretted that he didn't see the shocking scene of blue-purple lightning flashing in the blue cave sea with his own eyes, "The so-called genius is to be able to think what no one has thought of and do what no one has ever done..."
…
The plane landed at the National Capital Airport of Barbados, and field officers from the Special Operations Division in the Caribbean came to welcome Huo Shaoheng and the others off the plane.
When Huo Shaoheng and the others came here, they did so in the name of a private vacation and did not announce their official status.
As for a small country like Barbados, it is an undefended country. The governor and senior government officials have all gone on vacation at this time, and the people rely solely on their own volition to maintain the operation of the country.
The Special Operations Division's special plane is different from the special planes of other departments. It does not have those national symbols that blind people's eyes.
Of course, the more ordinary the better for their special plane, which is absolutely unobtrusive.
In fact, there are many wealthy people from all over the world who come to Barbados for vacation, so the air traffic control personnel at the airport did not take Huo Shaoheng's special plane seriously and regarded it as a private plane.
After getting off the plane, Huo Shaoheng asked the field staff who had been waiting here: "Are all the things we want ready?"
"Everything is ready," the man said hurriedly, "five sets of diving suits, a medium-sized salvage ship, and an undersea drone."
He just prepared things according to Huo Shaoheng's words and did not ask him what he wanted to do.
This time, in addition to Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze, Huo Shaoheng also brought along several members of the Special Operations Department who were particularly good at diving.
After everyone got off the plane, they went to the single-family villa prepared by the field staff to rest for a while.
…
In the evening, a group of them took the medium-sized salvage ship that looked like a cruise ship and arrived near the blue hole.
It was quiet here, there were no other tourists, only their group.
The afterglow of the setting sun is still rippling on the sea, half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red.
Gray-backed seagulls spread their wings and glided at low altitude, and white seabirds walked around on the rocks with their tails raised.
The blue cave sea area was as beautiful as a dark blue dream, quietly appearing in front of them.
Looking closer, we can see that there are rocks everywhere in the blue hole. The salvage ship cannot enter at all and can only park on the outside.
Fortunately, the robotic arm can freely expand and contract on the seabed and is not afraid of these rocks.
After it was completely dark, Huo Shaoheng carried Gu Yanran to the deck and said, "Are you familiar with this place?"
Gu Yanran opened her eyes and was confused for a while.
She has been unconscious since she fainted in the torture chamber on the high seas and was later injected with sedatives.
But when she opened her eyes again, she found that she was already at sea.
The sea in front of us is vast and the night is dark. We can only tell where we are here from the scattered starlight above our heads.
Her heart suddenly sank, and she looked up at the night sky, thinking that today might be the last time she saw the stars in this sea area.
Although she had been psychologically prepared since her identity was exposed and locked up, knowing that she would inevitably die, she was still quite scared when death actually came.
Huo Shaoheng clasped his hands behind his back, looked calmly at the blue hole in front of him, and said calmly: "You'd better pray that you are telling the truth, otherwise..."
A look of fear suddenly appeared in Gu Yanran's eyes. She glanced at Huo Shaoheng timidly, and she no longer had the arrogant pride she had before.
She never expected that Huo Shaoheng was not only bold, but also cruel. He actually tortured her for that fake? !
She also had shackles on her hands and feet, and an electronic collar around her neck.
As long as she makes the slightest movement, the optoelectronic collar will make her unable to survive or die.
Until now, the only consolation in her heart is that the end of the fake is not much better...
Gu Yanran blinked, and based on the fire-like light on the island in front of her, she determined the location.
In other words, from the moment she told the secret in her heart, she knew that she would be brought here to take out the "evidence".
Gu Yanran smiled bitterly: "... Do you know why I allowed that fake dove to occupy the magpie's nest and occupy the Gu family's property, leaving me with nothing, and even almost going to jail, but I didn't dare to speak out?"
Huo Shaoheng's face was as dark as water, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't have time to talk around in circles with you."
"... Because I know that if I don't say it, all I will lose is the Gu family's property. But if I say it, all I will lose is my life. - If I don't even have my life, what do I need money for? Do you think so? ? Mr. Huo?"
Gu Yanran looked at Huo Shaoheng with a broken look, "If that fake didn't pretend to be Gu Xiangwen's daughter, you wouldn't even look at her, would you?"
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and said, "She is Gu Xiangwen's daughter. The DNA has been verified."
"Impossible!" Gu Yanran resolutely said again, "I don't know how she lied to you, but she must have lied to you! - If you don't believe it, just go to the bottom of the Blue Cave and find out!"
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her, "The bottom of the blue cave? Do you know how deep this sea cave is?"
"I don't know." Gu Yanran answered calmly, "But if you want to know the truth, you have to go down."
"Take it down." Huo Shaoheng waved his hand without looking back.
Several people came up, blindfolded Gu Yanran, sealed her mouth, and immediately dragged her down again.
Huo Shaoheng stood alone on the deck for a while. He remembered how Gu Nianshang had risked his life to save him and Ozawa again and again in this sea area.
At that time, the most important thing in his heart was his duty, his troops, and his comrades.
At that time, it wasn't that he didn't love her, but it wasn't as much as she loved him.
This knowledge stuck in Huo Shaoheng's heart like a needle.
He pursed his lips, turned around, put on his diving suit, and plunged into the waters of the Blue Hole with a few good divers.
This is not the first time Huo Shaoheng has been under the water of the Blue Cave here.
The sea water all around was quiet, with slight ripples overhead.
The sky is beautiful. Today in the Caribbean night, there is no moon, only a few stars dotting the dark blue sky.
Several of them carried scuba tubes on their backs and slowly sank.
This place seemed even more desolate than the last time he came.
It is originally difficult for organisms to grow in the blue hole sea area, and the blue hole sea area here has also been baptized by high-voltage electric fences, so it has a more lifeless and stagnant feeling than other places.
Not to mention that there are no common animals on the seabed, there is not even a single seaweed, only patches of gray-black reefs.
It seems like time has stood still here, with no past and no future.
Huo Shaoheng and his men stepped on the sea water and continued to dive until they reached their maximum diving distance and could no longer dive.
But looking from here, the seabed in the Blue Hole area is still bottomless. It is dark there, like a black hole, capable of swallowing everything, including light.
I couldn't see anything down there.
He looked up again and looked at the top of his head.
This distance is already deeper than the last time they came here.
Last time, he and Ozawa were busy trying to survive here, and there were electronic fences above and around the place, so they couldn't see anywhere else.
Huo Shaoheng and his men swam a distance apart, convinced that they couldn't see anything at all.
"Come up." He gestured and led them out of the sea.
"Master Huo, what's down there?" Yin Shixiong pulled them up and asked curiously.
Huo Shaoheng didn't answer. One of the people who went down with him spit out a mouthful of seawater and said, "There's nothing. Mr. Huo, are you sure there is what you are looking for here?"
Huo Shaoheng took off the scuba and said, "It may be too deep. Let's lower the underwater drone first."
Zhao Liangze can control the undersea drone by himself this time.
They put the ginger-colored submarine drone into the seawater, started it, and watched it drill to the bottom of the sea.
The diving distance of the submarine drone is five thousand meters.
It took the camera and dived to the bottom of the blue hole.
Huo Shaoheng stood behind Zhao Liangze and watched the surveillance video of the underwater drone.
Undersea drones are similar in shape to torpedoes and move very fast in the water.
Dive distance figures continue to climb on surveillance videos.
One thousand meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters, four thousand meters, and finally, when they dived to 4,500 meters, a fluorescent thing broke into their field of vision.
On the surveillance video, a dark object appeared, which looked like a huge bullet-shaped streamlined object. There seemed to be something glowing fluorescent on the top of the object.
The sight was all too familiar.
Huo Shaoheng's heart beat violently.
Yin Shixiong and Song Jinning also walked over curiously, stood on both sides of Huo Shaoheng, and watched the surveillance video together.
Seeing them all coming over, Display stood on tiptoe and looked inside.
Zhao Liangze nervously increased the resolution of the surveillance video, and they were finally able to see clearly the fluorescence on the bullet-shaped streamlined object.
It was a line of fluorescent squiggles.
"Cereus II".
Huo Shaoheng's heart almost skipped a beat.
"Pause first." Huo Shaoheng took the keyboard from Zhao Liangze and pressed the pause button.
"Cereus II! There really is a Cereus II!" Yin Shixiong almost shouted, "Is this also a submarine?! Why is it so small?!"
If this thing was also a submarine, it would be about half smaller than Cereus I. It would be very small and exquisite, and its appearance would be more like a banana split ice cream.
Huo Shaoheng thought of the situation in "Cereus I", and his heart that had just been so excited suddenly fell, as if he had fallen into the unfathomable Mariana Trench.
Zhao Liangze also shouted: "Use the robotic arm! Let's go down with my little hummingbird robot!"
Zhao Liangze’s hummingbird robot is actually a smart pinhole camera.
Last time, they used a robotic arm to take this smart pinhole camera down with them, entered the submarine, and detected the situation inside.
Huo Shaoheng's hand holding the mouse trembled slightly, but his voice remained calm.
"Put in the robotic arm and Ozawa's little hummingbird robot."
…
On the deck, the staff responsible for operating the cable of the robotic arm hung Zhao Liangze's small hummingbird robot on a special string at the lower end of the long cable, and carefully placed it into the pipe in the middle of the robotic arm.
This little hummingbird robot is about the same size as a freshwater pearl about two millimeters in diameter, and it’s almost impossible to tell it’s a camera.
When it arrives at its destination, it can be reassembled, and there will be three tiny rollers about one millimeter in diameter at the bottom to hold it around for shooting.
There is also a pair of wings as thin as cicada wings that can be stretched out on the back, allowing you to fly with it for shooting.
Just like last time, the robotic arm sank into the deep sea and finally touched the top of the small submarine.
Then, the five fingers of the robotic arm spread out, and the steel thorns at the top of the fingers penetrated the shell of the submarine.
Soon, the air collected from inside was continuously input through specific pipes.
Chen Chen and Song Jinning acted as measurement experts, nervously measuring the air composition.
Still the same as last time, Display said in surprise: "It's also nitrogen!"
Huo Shaoheng's eyes turned black.
He held the back of Zhao Liangze's chair tightly with his hands and said as calmly as possible: "Go on, let your hummingbird upload the picture as soon as possible."
While they were measuring the air inside the submarine, Zhao Liangze's hummingbird robot had already entered the submarine through the small hole pierced by the steel finger spikes of the robotic arm, and started taking pictures along the way.
This submarine is much smaller and simpler than Gu Xiangwen's one.
It's like it's really a toy.
Although it is a toy with real submarine functions.
The largest cabin in the middle of the submarine is arranged like a game room.
There is a pink princess bed against the wall, with a little girl in a skirt lying on it.
Although he hadn't seen the little girl's appearance yet, Huo Shaoheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes when he saw the skirt.
This skirt is almost exactly the same as the skirt Gu Nianzhi wore seven years ago!
As the hummingbird robot flew above the little girl, the camera sent back a clear picture.
The little girl was white and fat, lying there with her eyes closed, exactly like Gu Nianzhi seven years ago.
