"Don't you think it was a monster who broke into Vincent's house last night?" Asked Annie as she came out of Billy's house.
"At first I thought it was something from the ghost ship that came to him, but after going to his place, I was more inclined to this view."
Zhang Heng passes the shell in his hand.
"Why?" Annie took it and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't see anything noteworthy.
"This kind of shell is from the nearby sea and is very common on the beach of Nassau."
"Well, I'm a little impressed by what you say. It seems that Harry just picked up a bunch of these things. I can't understand his hobby." Annie said.
"And scales." Zhang Heng also handed the scales in the past, "this is the scale of golden fusiform fish, which is also one of the fish that fishermen often catch in this area."
"Why do you know such things?" The red haired girl exclaimed.
"Well, I once studied a section of fish, that's not the point." At the end of the first round of copies, Bell once taught Zhang Heng some common edible fish. After he went back, he also found some information on the Internet. Now he can identify more than 200 kinds of fish.
"But isn't that ship wandering all the time? It's not impossible that it will be around."
"You're right." Zhang Heng said, "so I went to check Vincent's yard. He said that he watered it once a week. The last time that netty watered it for him was five days ago. I asked netty that there was no rain on the Island recently. The land in his yard also proved that, but there was an exception."
"Ha?"
"After seeing Vincent's house, I have been thinking about what he said before. He said that when he saw the guy, it was just like he had just fished out of the water, and his clothes were dripping all the time. But Vincent's house was not close to the coastline. If it really came from the deep sea, even in the late night, it would still take a lot of risks when it walked all the way from the beach Risk, and the most important thing is that there should not be too much seawater left on it for such a long distance. "
"This kind of thing can't be judged by common sense. Is it possible that it was cursed and kept drowning forever? It seems that I heard some stories like this when I was a child." Annie shrugged.
"I've considered what you might say. If so, the speed of water drops on him should be the same all the time, but in fact, the soil in one corner of the garden is different from other places. It's very wet."
"Do you suspect that someone went there to get himself wet on purpose, then put shells and scales on his body, disguised as a monster, climbed into Vincent's bedroom to look for the three notes? But why, why did he do that? "
"You asked him why he was looking for notes or why he was pretending to be like this. If it was the former, I don't know the answer, but the latter question was obviously because he was worried about his identity." Zhang Heng said, "I should have thought of it. I checked everything I brought back from that ship and found no abnormality. But when we came back, we had a storm. I didn't know what I had left until now."
"What?"
"That box of silverware and rings and necklaces is not everything we brought back."
Annie picked her eyebrows.
"There were seven people on board, including me. Someone took other things from others. It was he who sneaked into Vincent's room to steal the three notes." Zhang Hengdao.
"Is that why you didn't say that at Billy's before?"
Zhang Heng nodded, "we were together last night. We can exclude the remaining five people. I don't doubt his loyalty, but that person may not realize how dangerous the thing he took was. There was no last person on the Clark ship. It's probably related to that thing. Fortunately, the scope has been narrowed down to a very small one. Next, let's go Just one investigation at a time. "
"Maybe not so much trouble," said Anne. "I guess who that man is."
"Well?"
"At that time, there were basically two people on board. It was not easy to hide things from another person. Seth and I were checking the warehouse on the floor below you at that time, but then I heard the sound of you crashing into the door. I thought there was something dangerous happening on your side, so I ran up. During that period, Seth was alone. If anyone could hide things from you He's the only one hiding something from other people.
"And when I saw him on the deck later, he seemed to be in a trance, but everyone was not in a good state at that time, and I didn't think much about it."
"What was he doing when there was a storm on the way back?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I didn't see him. At that time, it was his turn to rest. He wasn't on the deck, but I remember what you said. When I saw him at dinner, I found his face was blue. I asked him what was the matter, and he told me that he fell accidentally."
The girl with red hair said, "private fights are forbidden on board, but I do hear that some people are not very disciplined. After all, we are new ships, and people are recruited recently. Every time we dock, we will add more people. Some people know each other, and sometimes they have some grudges before they get on board. Seth Seth is one of the first people to get on the ship. He just got married. He redeemed them from the Jiyuan. It's said that they have a good relationship, but there will be some gossip from other people. ""Do you know where he lives?"
"I don't know, but I know someone must know."
Annie finds another pirate named Sean, who works as a gunner on the Jackdaw. He has a good relationship with Seth. They used to work together on the same ship and often have fun together on the island. Sean knows Seth's residence and walks over with them. However, when they get there, they find that there is a pile of furniture inside and outside the door.
Seth poked his head out from behind a wardrobe and saw that the three people looked a little surprised. Especially after seeing Zhang Heng, a flustered color flashed in his eyes. However, it soon covered up, "sorry, I'm preparing to move."
Sean was stunned, and then he said, "yes, just married and moved to a new home, but why don't you call me for help?"
"There's not much to worry about anyway." Seth said, and then he looked at Zhang Heng and Annie, "it may be a little inconvenient for me today. Captain, can you come back tomorrow?"
