Chapter 18 Sheriff
There are taverns everywhere in the shallow water port. As Tang An knew before, the crew members are all drunkards. It’s not their fault. It’s the most difficult thing to obtain fresh water at sea for a long time. Because fresh water is not as preserving as rum, the crew members often use wine instead of water at sea. Over time, it would be strange if they don’t become alcoholics.
The scenery of Shallow Water Harbor is also unique, but unfortunately, Tang An has no time to taste these things now.
Tang Ann plans to follow Robert's advice and leave the shallow water port directly and escape from John's sphere of influence. This is the safest and most convenient way.
But soon, Tang An knew that the plan would not work, because after he got off the ship, someone had followed him.
At first, Tang An thought it was an illusion that he was too nervous, but soon, Tang An knew that it was not an illusion. He noticed that two people more than ten meters away from behind, and the other party followed him all the way.
Those two people, you can tell at a glance that they are not good people, should be local gangsters, and they look fierce.
Tang An and the two looked at each other and became more convinced of their guesses.
He has been targeted by someone. If he leaves Qianshui Port like this, it is equivalent to falling into the other party's trap. It can be imagined that on the road that is rarely visited, the other party will have no scruples and will definitely take action immediately. Tang An observed that in Qianshui Port, the two people followed him for an hour, but they just followed him and did not take action.
This shows that in a crowded place, the other party also has concerns. If you stay in Shashui Harbor for the time being, you can use the crowd here to protect yourself.
Tang An had thought of seeking the protection of law enforcement officers here, that is to say, the sheriff here, but Robert had said that John was also very familiar with the sheriff here. Tang An thought about it and did not dare to take the risk of "reporting the official". Maybe the condoms that others had set up were waiting for him to drill.
Now that I can't leave, I can't stay, I'm afraid I will sit still and wait for death in the end. I'm not familiar with the place. There are many people at dawn, so the other party is worried about it and will not take action immediately, but when it's dark, it's hard to say.
Maybe the other party just predicts that he has no choice but to show his fangs to himself as long as he has the chance.
This made Tang An feel a sense of crisis extremely strong.
He didn't dare to leave now, so he could only stay in the most crowded place in Qianshui Harbor for the time being, and think about countermeasures in a square.
Meanwhile, in a white building with the pattern of "Sword of Justice" on the Winetterus Port, John Hawkins, the sailor leader on the Winetterus Port met Hessel, the sheriff captain in the Sheriff.
The latter is a meticulous man who is in a well-fitting uniform, a man who is both meticulous in his hair and a medal of honor that represents honor and identity, and is completely different from John Hawkins' rebelliousness.
"Good afternoon, dear Mr. Sheriff." When John Hawkins saw the captain of the sheriff, he took off the sailor hat on his head, and performed a respectful manner. The gold rings on his fingers were very conspicuous.
"Okay, John Hawkins, there are no outsiders here. Come and look for me. If you have any questions, just say it?" Sheriff Captain Hessel sat in an office chair.
As for John Hawkins opposite, he didn't like it, and he knew very well who the other party was.
But he may not see other people, but John Hawkins cannot. The other party knows his past, which means he is holding his own handle.
John Hawkins smiled with a hint of pride: "Herthel, since you still remember our personal relationship, I'm going to the point. I heard that the Midnight Ripper, who killed people everywhere at night, has not been caught yet. Although that perverted murderer has not killed people for many days, I think that as the sheriff captain of the Sheriff Port, if you can't catch the murderer in one day, your superior will put an incompetent hat on your head, not only that, if this continues, it is very likely that your, uh, decent uniform will not last long."
Hessel frowned. He was already extremely annoyed with John Hawkins. If the other party had not had some means, he would even want to strangle the annoying bastard to death.
Taking a deep breath, Hesel said, "John, look, we were so close, you are my friend, so if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."
"Friend, yes, we are friends, so I'll just say it. I need you to ask your guards to help me catch a person. For you, catching a person in your territory is simply a trivial matter. You can even treat this person as a midnight ripper. In this way, you have an explanation to the above." John Hawkins said with a smile, not knowing whether he was joking.
"Are you talking about a scapegoat?" Hesel was not stupid. To be honest, he had thought about doing such a thing. After all, it was not difficult to find a scapegoat in Sushui Port.
The difficulty is that he is afraid that the real Midnight Ripper will commit another crime, and he will not be able to explain it at that time. The fool knows that he is looking for a scapegoat, so the superiors will definitely blame him.
So although Hesel had wanted to do this for a long time, he had too many concerns.
John Hawkins smiled: "It's not an ordinary scapegoat. This man is here without roots and no one will talk to him. Another thing is, you can help me catch him, and I will help you find the real midnight ripper."
Hesel's pupils shrank, his smile calmed down, and he stood up directly: "Do you know who the real Midnight Ripper is?"
John Hawkins laughed and shook his head: "I don't know, but you have to know that some of my men have some special abilities. If I help you, I believe it will not be difficult to find that perverted murderer."
Hesel was moved.
Others don't know John Hawkins's background, but he knows the truth.
If John Hawkins had all his strength to help him, he might be able to find out the Midnight Ripper. You should know that this perverted murderer killed a noble lady some time ago. The noble lady was not simple in her identity, but she died miserably. Not only was she stripped away, but she also had her belly broken. For this reason, the superiors were extremely angry and had already issued strict orders to capture the murderer. Therefore, if he caught the real murderer, he would definitely make great contributions in the future. Correspondingly, if he could not catch someone within the time limit, he would probably be pushed to take the blame.
What Hesel is now considering is that people like John Hawkins have always been able to get up early without profit. It is definitely not easy to catch someone who can make him so much trouble.
