Chapter 253

It was midnight when he went up the steps, the streets were empty, and the ready-made clothes shop upstairs had long been closed.

There is a curfew like tranquility in New Orleans at midnight. Looking around, it is lonely and cold everywhere. Combined with messy planning and different old and new city walls, it is like abandoned ruins for a long time.

Lorraine had an illusion that New Orleans was a retaliatory revision of prosperity. The more active he was when he was active, the more dilapidated he was when he calmed down.

Drake chamber of Commerce why not?

In fact, the reason why the chamber of Commerce has made great progress for several years is that Lorraine has applied the entrepreneurial model of future generations with contemporary rules.

Flagship and branch are independent entrepreneurial teams, which do not interfere with each other, cooperate to make up for each other, give full play to their respective advantages and jointly build a business foundation.

Among them, Lorraine's flagship is the core of the three teams.

Lorraine is the brain and heart of the whole team. The sailors form the spine and trunk. The sailors are about limbs and skeleton, and the employed crew are blood, constantly providing nutrients to the body.

At first glance, Lorraine is the only center of the team. But in fact, no Lorraine team will die. If there are problems in the seafarer class, the team is also the same as death.

So Bell's problem cannot be taken too seriously. This is not only related to Lorraine's personal feelings, but also related to the unity and trust of the whole team.

Testimony, evidence

Lorraine carefully recalled every detail related to bell.

So far, bell has performed very well, and his behavior is not like a ghost in his heart.

But it is precisely because of this that the left and right sailors are separated.

Haina and pierce insisted that bell had a problem.

Because excessive perfection itself represents a strange word, not to mention that bell didn't even have any problems when he was alone. When he was so vigilant, he could only say that what he wanted was too big.

Karen and Katrina are supporters of innocence.

They insisted that bell was an indispensable and important part of the smuggling operation. They had made great contributions to the lion twice before, and their performance was enough to prove their innocence.

Of course, it's certainly inappropriate to have private contact with naval people, but since his testimony is perfect and he doesn't even show any doubt when alone, he should be trusted.

The extreme left and the extreme right are in opposition. The remaining people move in the middle line. Everyone has his own position and thinking. If he is careless, the team will fall apart.

Lorraine felt throbbing in her temples.

"Bell, bell, I'd have left you in the plantation to eat soil. I'm hungry anyway..."

The night shines in through the large landing window. The ready-made clothes shop is filled with all kinds of clothes. There are dolls dancing together. There is no light or fire. It looks like a ghost land.

Lorraine was silent among a pile of dolls. From time to time, a sailor came in, found him, stood beside him and remained silent with him.

After a while, except bell, the Jackdaw was in place. Lorraine glanced at everyone's face and whispered, "verify the testimony."

Katrina first spoke: "I confirmed to Bart that balan Bator's daydream has been established for more than 40 years, not only in the business of the British, but also in the business of the French and Spaniards. Its backstage is a mercenary Frenchman who has a certain foundation in the military, so the British have been his wallet for a long time."

"In other words, this intelligence point is not Sark's, not even British. Bell didn't lie about it?"

"Yes."

Lorraine turned to Karen again. "Emmons's testimony?"

"More than ten days ago, someone introduced him to a big business, so he came to New Orleans to sell intelligence."

"So simple?"

Karen spread his hands: "although he said a lot, there was only so much refined. He said he entered the port eight days ago and had a dispute with the ship owner at the wharf because of the Charter money. Acharin confirmed that the captain, the dismissed sailors and the pilot in front of the berth at that time were impressed by him."

"Where are his four thugs?"

"The British pioneers don't know much. They were hired by Emmons in Hamilton. It's impossible to judge this, but the testimony of the four people is the same."

"There is no leakage..." Lorraine scratched his head with boredom.

Combined with the current situation, bell, Emmons and even the four guards have nothing to doubt.

But Bell's confession was so affordable that there were still many things that could not be confirmed, such as Emmons's motivation and identity. The most important thing was the authenticity of the information marked with the rotation details of the continental sub fleet and the commander's details in recent three months.

If all is true, bell obviously wants the chamber of Commerce, so whether he has contact with the navy is no longer important.

Because as one of the main messengers of smuggling, he poked all this is equivalent to turning himself in and pleading guilty, performing meritorious deeds, and tainted witnesses. Although the rhetoric is beautiful, crime is crime, and pollution is pollution, which can not be eluted by anyone.

But if any of the information is forged, Bell's motives are debatable.

What his purpose is, where he is going, whether it is a discovery of conscience or a deliberate undercover, whether it is the Navy or Sark behind it, all represent very different meanings, and Lorraine has to face a completely different situation.

Finally... Do you still have to go to Bermuda?

Lorraine sighed: "it's past zero... It's July 29. The first contract expires on August 18. There's still plenty of time."

"I'm going to Hamilton with Hannah. Chuck opened the exchange there. The manager is the old man of the butterfly. I have enough people available there."

"But Hamilton is shack's nest, and it's easy for me to come out in person... Acharin, you and Daniel go to Kingston and let Leonard meet me in Hamilton as soon as possible. Keep it secret."

"As for the rest... Stay here and prepare the supplies for the third ship. In addition, let bell go to the ship. Wang is also responsible for taking care of him. If he has anything unusual..."

Wang also smiled without a smile and said softly in Chinese: "kill people and kill people, sink corpses into the deep sea, God doesn't know, ghosts don't know."

Lorraine recognized his arrangement with his eyes.

"That's it... I'll find out as soon as possible."

"If there is any delay so that I or the conclusion cannot be sent back to New Orleans... The Jackdaw must sail on August 10 at the latest. The sea is dominated by Katrina and the land is dominated by Carmen. You need to find a free pilot as a backup. Katrina is responsible for this."

Having finished all the arrangements, Lorraine shook her head.

"Charter, prepare gifts... Carmen, it seems that you can't sleep tonight. I'm sorry."

"It's just my job. I've received money," Carmen said playfully.

Her words and smiles like sunshine tore up the dignified atmosphere tonight.

Everyone suddenly remembered that taking risks with their heads was originally the job of privatizing businessmen.

It's common to die whenever. No matter where Bell's position is, it can't make them more dangerous.

In that case, why bother the mediocre?

Lorraine laughed happily for the first time: "everyone, is there anything else you don't know?"

"Everything is at the captain's command!"

"Sailors who can't trust can't sail because of niord's disgust. They can never find the direction of the wind. If my mother didn't lie to me... Good luck, partners."

"Good luck to our captain!"

……

The sadness and happiness of the ready-made clothes shop can't spread to the old tavern underground.

At dawn, the smiling king also opened the door and picked up the smiling bell.

Before leaving, bell glared at Emmons with a man eating look, which looked like resentment, but Emmons saw the smell of [don't act rashly].

Obviously, I'm just the executor of the plan. I'm afraid the planner can't hold his breath

Emmons lay down and closed his eyes like a false sleep.

He thought that the glance might not only be as simple as [don't act rashly], but also contain the meaning of [don't struggle even if you die].

Just... Is it worth dying for Shaq?

"It will take ten years to dig me out of the sealed tomb. I have repaid a usury of two thousand pounds, and the Colonel's annual salary is eighty pounds, which will take twenty-five years."

He read in small voices that he could only hear.

"I'm thirty-two years old. I owe thirty-five years and have paid it back for six years... In this way, I'll be sixty-one years old. If I die, I seem to have earned..."

"However, when Ming Ming is ready to get to this point, he can't completely get rid of the suspicion. The suspicious disease is so serious that this guy is really only 19 years old?"

"His brother with cold face and hot heart is much more lovable than him..."

"I really want to play cards... If I can't, leave me three pence. Guess single or double..."

"Work is not a pleasant thing... Well, go to sleep."
