Chapter 157

Hank, the man with moustache, is a well-known intelligence dealer on the island. He knows a lot of captains from Nassau, so he has accumulated a lot of intelligence resources. Many pirates have bought clues from him before.

When Billy was on the sea lion, he also went with Orff to find the successor. He also met hank at that time. They had drunk together several times later, and their relationship should be good. Therefore, Billy came to him to buy information before going to sea this time.

Although hank looks a little unattractive, it's natural for him to be able to do business on the island for such a long time.

He will score a clue from three aspects: the value of the prey, the detail of the intelligence, and the credibility of the intelligence source, and finally estimate the value of the clue.

, like the news of perfume boats, has scored two high scores on the value of prey and the credibility of intelligence sources. Only the details of intelligence are somewhat worse, but it can be regarded as a very good clue.

Therefore, Hank's offer is also very high, and he needs two Spanish gold coins to open his mouth, while Billy finally chooses to buy out the deal with ten Spanish gold coins for the sake of insurance. This transaction mode also means that hank can't sell this clue to other pirates except jackdaw.

After that, Hank also reciprocated and presented the news of the tobacco ship Duffy on the same route, which also made Billy completely relax and full of confidence in the first voyage of jackdaw.

But what happened after that was totally unexpected. If it wasn't for Carlina, the businesswoman, who had been on the boat halfway and provided the important news about the spice boat, it would be the cruel reality that the Jackdaw would return empty handed.

Billy, though old, crafty person without Orff, is not a fool. He has already begun to suspect that the perfume boat is not yet seen. However, this kind of thing is also very likely to happen. He can not immediately decide second clues because of the failure of the first thread, so that he will buy any spare clues.

But then the direction of things just confirmed his worry. Two clues in a row failed at the same time. Billy also realized that he was trapped. But what he didn't understand was that Hank and himself got along well these years, and the Jackdaw didn't have any conflict of interest with the latter. Why did the intelligence dealer suddenly put him in this way.

Today, three people came to Mermaid house to find out.

Hank recognized the people outside the door for the first time. Recently, Zhang Heng was probably the most famous person on the island. When jackdaw first appeared outside the harbor of Nassau, Hank also ran to the wharf to watch the excitement. What he did was the work of an intelligence dealer. Naturally, broadening the interpersonal network was also a very important part of it. Therefore, he was not interested in Jackdaw and its new captain No stranger.

The intelligence dealer struggled to get up from the ground, even though he couldn't wipe off the stains on his clothes. The man in black in front of him showed a wry smile. "I made it very clear when I sold the clues. I can't guarantee that every clue is absolutely valid. Even the most reliable clues will have all kinds of accidents, such as the target suddenly changed the route on the way , bumping into other pirates by accident, weather factors, etc. if you don't believe me, you can ask your helmsman. I emphasized the risks to him at that time... "

Hank took a breath and continued, "of course, I'm deeply sorry for what happened to you, but fortunately you didn't lose much in the end. Let's take a step back. I'll give you the money I collected before. How about turning the page?"

Zhang Heng doesn't comment. At the same time, Annie and Billy come out from the back door of the pub. They surround hank in the corner.

"Oh, and before you go to sea next time, I can send you some valuable clues for free. This time, I can guarantee that there will be no more accidents."

Hank's back is leaning against the cold stone wall, trying to keep calm. In the past, some people would come back to him for trouble because of inaccurate clues, but they were all handled by him tactfully. There are not many intelligence dealers on the island, and they would compete with each other at ordinary times, but they are still in a group at the key time. Some of them were killed before, and they will never find out who the murderer is again No one sold clues to the pirate ship, which had to change its captain in the end.

The intelligence dealer looks at Billy, who is an old man on the island. He can't have never heard of it. As a competent helmsman, he should now remind his captain of the possible bad consequences.

However, Billy did not respond, just looked at him coldly.

Then hank saw the red haired pirate on the other side pull out her dagger and smile at him.

At the next moment, the intelligence dealer only felt a chill on his chest and bowed his head. He was frightened to find that his flaxseed fir had been cut, and the tip of the dagger had penetrated into his skin, less than two centimeters away from his heart. As long as the red haired girl opposite made a slight effort, he would be here tonight.

Hank was really flustered this time. Unexpectedly, these guys didn't play according to the rules at all. The voice of the intelligence dealer was already crying and shivering, "you How much compensation do you want? At least give me a count. ""We don't need any compensation," Zhang Heng finally said, "but we need you to answer our questions truthfully in the next few days."

"What do you want to know?" Hank looked a little suspicious.

…………

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Heng three people came out of the alley. Annie put the dagger back into her waist and frowned, "Malcolm, do any of you know this guy? Why does he want to trouble us?"

"Malcolm is the No.2 figure in the black business alliance. This guy's family has a great influence in the new world," Billy Road, who is most familiar with the situation on the island, explained to the red haired girl. "Don't neglect this man's personal ability just because of the family behind him. Malcolm came to Nassau about four years ago. When he first came to the island, he had only one transport ship There is nothing outside the ship. His family is far away in New York and can provide convenience for him at the port customs, but it can't help him in Nassau. He started from scratch and now maintains a good cooperative relationship with more than a dozen pirate ships. Last year, Sammy, the black prince, began to cooperate with him, so he is definitely one of the most noteworthy figures in the black business alliance. ”
