Chapter 240

"Has Eugene ever been a family?"

"As far as I know, he has a wife in the colony, but he can't have children, so if the news is true, then he and the illegitimate child of the prostitute should also be his only child." Billy said.

"Therefore, this illegitimate child should still be very important to him, especially considering the previous fire, Eugene should feel guilty for this child." Karina analyzed.

"So Malcolm took control of Eugene's children and asked Eugene to help him?" Anne guessed.

"No, it's not in Malcolm's style." Karina shook her head. "Malcolm sometimes does use some simple and direct means to solve problems, such as the skull, but it's obvious that it's too long for him to detain a living person like this."

"So Malcolm's handle on Eugene is not his son." Billy said, "so our question is back to the beginning. Is there anything else Eugene cares about?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't find him. His life is very simple now. He basically spends more than half of his day in a fixed tavern, buying and selling news from the captain. Besides, he seldom does anything else. His life is very regular, and he doesn't come and go with people except his work. What he's doing now has no contradiction with other people." Women businessmen are humane.

"I think Malcolm's handle on Eugene should be his son," Zhang Heng, who had never spoken before, finally said again. "It's just not a low-level means of restricting personal freedom, but Malcolm should have shown Eugene that he has the means to hurt his son, so Eugene will obediently obey. I know we should ask this question Who

"Who?"

"During this period, I investigated Eugene's interpersonal network. I'm mainly curious. He's only in his early 40s, and his physical function has not declined significantly. A man of this age should also have normal physiological needs. But as you said, after the fire, he didn't associate with other women, and he didn't go to Jiyuan How did he live like a Puritan for more than ten years

"Did you find the answer?"

"Well, Eugene has a backache. He tried many methods but failed to cure it. Then he tried the local prescription of guanahatabei people recommended by others. The place of treatment was in a small manor on the island. He would go there every two weeks, and the owner of the manor was a woman named Carmen. I think there was a real relationship between them There is a kind of intimate relationship, no, it should be said that it is a very intimate relationship. This kind of treatment has lasted for almost ten years. Their relationship is not just ordinary friends or lovers. Carmen should know a lot of Eugene's secrets, and probably also know how Malcolm controlled Eugene. "

"So as long as we find Carmen, we'll know what Eugene has to do with it. In that case, what are we waiting for?" Annie raised her chin.

"Waiting for a friend, Carmen will be easier to deal with than Eugene, but as I said, she and Eugene have been in love for nearly ten years. Our rash door-to-door visit will certainly arouse her vigilance. She can't tell us Eugene's secret. We need to be prepared. This time Karina and I can go, and too many people will make her feel uneasy 。”

When Zhang Heng finished, the sound of a carriage came downstairs.

Zhang Heng takes his clothes and goes downstairs with the businesswoman. There is no danger in this action. Carmen himself has no fighting power. In order to reduce the hostility of the other party as much as possible, Zhang Heng does not bring a knife, but only takes a short musket to defend himself. He opens the door for Karina in front of the carriage.

The businesswoman took a skirt and sat in. Then Zhang Heng got on the bus and said to the coachman, "go to Heiman manor."

"Where's your friend?" Karina did not see a third person in the carriage.

"We've made an appointment. He'll show up when he needs to, but I hope he doesn't have to."

Only when the car door was closed did the businesswoman feel relieved, as if she had taken off her disguise. She leaned back on the car and rubbed her temples. But then she seemed to remember that she was not the only one in the car this time. She looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say to Zhang Heng.

"It seems that it's really hard for you these days."

"In fact, it's nothing. Thanks to the money you provided, all the previous debts have been paid off, and the rest are just some small troubles. It's more dangerous for you. I heard that this time you went out and met the Navy, six pirate ships, and finally only you came back. Not only that, you also brought back most of the gold. It seems that I haven't congratulated you, That must be a wonderful story. " Karina sat upright.

"There's a lot of luck in it, too."

"One time may be luck, but two times and three times are no longer luck. Black Prince Sam is gone. You and your jackdaw are now the most powerful pirates on the island. When I first met you, I knew that day would come, but I didn't expect that it would come so soon.""You're doing well. In the face of the pressure from the black business alliance and Malcolm, you can still develop your business to this level. Especially as a newcomer, when you first came to the island, no one believed that you could come to this stage."

"Karina wry smile," but I and Malcolm's battle has not won, if not for you, I should have already left Nassau

"After all, Malcolm has been operating on the island for such a long time, and now he is holding the black business alliance. It's not normal if you can get the upper hand, but this time we have found his flaws, and now it's our turn."

At Zhang Heng's suggestion, Karina lay on the carriage and had a rest. She closed her eyes. She could not help thinking of the night when she first boarded the Jackdaw. She seemed to have drunk a lot of wine in the captain's room. She had been talking about her childhood and the trivial things.

That night, she seemed to finish her whole life, but the last sentence she wanted to say never came out in time. Later, she also knew about Zhang Heng and Annie. As a woman, she envied the latter's bravery. It must be admitted that at a certain moment, she did have hesitation.

Worried that she was just attracted by the mysterious atmosphere of the other party and worried about Zhang Heng's pirate identity, she didn't blame Annie for taking the lead. Many things had nothing to do with the timing. Most people lost only because they were hesitant at that time.
