v2 Chapter 196： Falling things

"Do you think it wasn't a monster that broke into Vincent's house last night?" Annie asked after coming out of Billy's house.

"At first I heard him describe that I did think he was looking for him from the ghost ship, but after I went to see his place, I was more inclined to think that way."

Zhang Heng passed the shell in his hand.

"What?" Annie took a look for a long time and didn't see anything worthy of note.

"The shells are from nearby seas and are common on the beaches of Nassau."

"Well, you seem to be a bit impressed by this. Harry seems to have picked up a bunch of this stuff. I probably can't understand his hobbies." Annie said.

"There are scales." Zhang Heng also passed the scales. "This is the scale of the golden barracuda, and it is also one of the fishes often caught by fishermen in this area."

"Why do you even know such things?" The red-haired girl was surprised.

"Uh, I once studied a fish, this is not the point." Bell had taught Zhang Heng some common food fish in the end of the first round of the copy. After he returned, he also found some information on the Internet. Now he can identify it. More than two hundred species of fish have been produced.

"But hasn't that ship been wandering all the time, and it wouldn't be impossible for it to appear nearby."

"You're right." Zhang Hengdao, "So I went to check Vincent's yard again. He said that he poured water once a week, and that was the last time that Netty helped him water five days ago. I asked Nei Tee, there hasn't been rain on the island in recent times, and the land in his yard also proves this, but there are some places that are exceptional. "

"what?"

"I've been thinking about what he said before seeing Vincent's house, and he said that when he saw that guy, it was just like it was just taken out of the water, the clothes kept dripping, but Vincent The special house is not close to the coastline. If the thing really comes from the depths of the sea, even in the middle of the night, it still takes a lot of risk to come all the way from the beach, and the most important thing is that it has such a long distance There should not be too much seawater left. "

"This kind of thing cannot be judged by common sense. Is it possible that it was cursed and kept drowning forever? I seemed to have heard some such stories when I was a kid." Anne shrugged.

"I took into account what you said. If so, the speed of dripping water on his body should always be about the same, but in fact, one corner of the garden is different from other places and very wet."

"You suspect that someone went there and deliberately wet themselves, and then put shells and scales on them, disguised as a monster, and climbed into Vincent's bedroom to look for those three notes? But why, why did he do this? "

"You are asking why he is looking for notes or pretending to look like this. If it is the former, I do not know the answer, but the latter question is obviously because he is worried about his identity being exposed." Zhang Hengdao, "I I should have thought that I checked everything brought back from that ship and found nothing abnormal, but when we came back, we encountered a storm, and until now I did not know what I had fallen. "

"what?"

"That box of silverware and ring necklaces is not everything we brought back."

Annie raised her eyebrows.

"At the time, there were seven people, including me, who were hiding other people and took other things. It was also that he sneaked into Vincent's room to steal those three notes." Zhang Hengdao.

"That's why you didn't make this inference at Billy's house before?"

Zhang Heng nodded. "Last night we were together. We can rule out that the remaining five are possible. I don't doubt his loyalty, but that person may not realize how dangerous the things he is holding. There was no last person on the Clark ship, and it was probably related to that thing. Fortunately, the scope has now been reduced to a very small level, and we only need to investigate one by one. "

"Maybe it won't be so troublesome," Annie said, "I'm probably guessing who that person is."

"Ok?"

"At the time, the ship was basically two people in action. It was not easy to hide something from another person. Seth and I checked the warehouse on your next floor at that time, but then I heard the sound of your knocking on the door, thinking that something was happening on your side, so I ran up. At that time, Seth was alone. If someone could hide something from others, it was only him. .

"And after seeing him on the deck, his spirit seemed a bit sloppy at the time, but everyone was in a bad state at the time, and I didn't think about it."

"What was he doing when he encountered a storm on the way back?" Zhang Heng asked.

"I didn't see him. At that time it was his turn to rest. He was not on the deck, but you remembered that. I remembered that when I had dinner at night, I saw him again and found that his face was blue. I asked him what was going on, and he told me he accidentally fell. "

The red-haired girl said, "Private fighting is clearly prohibited on the ship, but I did hear that some people are not very ethical. After all, we are new ships, and people have only recently recruited them. Every time we dock, we will replenish a group of manpower. Some people Know each other, and sometimes have some grievances before boarding the ship. Seth ... Seth was the first group of people to board the ship. He was just married and he was redeemed from a trick house ~ www.novelhall. com ~ I heard that they have a good relationship, but others will inevitably have some gossip. "

"Do you know where he lives?"

"I don't know, but I know someone who must know."

Annie found another pirate named Sean, who was a gunner on the Jackdaw. He and Seth had a good relationship. The two had previously worked together on the same boat and often went to the island to find fun together. En surely knew Seth's place of residence, and walked over with them, but when they got there, they found all the furniture piled up inside and outside the door.

Seth leaned out from behind a closet, and saw the three look a little surprised, especially when he saw Zhang Heng's eyes flashing with panic, but soon covered up, "Sorry, I'm preparing to move . "

Sean heard the words for a moment, then said joyfully, "Well, just moved to a new home as soon as we got married, but why don't you call me for help?"

"Anyway, there is not much, so I won't bother you." Seth said, after that he looked at Zhang Heng and Annie again. "It may be a bit inconvenient for me today. Captain, can you come again tomorrow?"
