Then, Jiao Ba, with a stern look, whispered a few words into my ear, and set up a perfect and damning arrest operation.
"How about my sworn brother? Can you please pay attention to this?" After he finished speaking, he showed a thief look on his face.
I turned to look at him, nodded with a sneer and said, "Very good, that's it."
After dinner, we chatted for a while in the rest cabin, and the topic was naturally about the salvaged coffin. We chatted for about half an hour, and then everyone lay down to sleep one by one.
I deliberately glanced at the time. It was now 7:30 in the evening. I was lying on the bed with my eyes closed, but my mind was thinking about tonight's actions. It seems that tonight's actions will have unexpected gains.
An hour later, snoring could be heard everywhere in the rest cabin. I opened my eyes suddenly, quickly got out of bed, and quietly walked to Jiao Ba's bedside.
The grandson actually fell asleep and was snoring. I quickly patted his face to wake him up. When Jiao Ba opened his eyes and saw that it was me, he knew it was time to set off.
He also quickly got out of bed. The two of us got dressed, quietly walked out of the cabin, and started to act according to the original plan. In fact, the plan was very simple. The purpose was to find out who was the real man in black, and
Is there another manipulator behind this?
According to what Jiao Ba said before dinner, the man in black will definitely show up again tonight. Needless to say, his purpose is definitely for the coffin salvaged in the afternoon.
So he designed a relatively complete plan, that is, I stayed on Jenny's boat to observe the situation secretly, while Jiao Ba patiently waited for the arrival of the man in black on the bearded fishing boat.
If I find someone secretly leaving the fishing boat, I will immediately give Jiao Ba a code and then check every rest cabin so that I can find out who the person is.
Even if the other party is very cunning and avoids my sight, that's no problem. On the other hand, once someone climbs onto the bearded fishing boat, Jiao Ba will immediately give me a code.
Our secret code is to communicate with the flashlight. After I received his message, I immediately went to check each rest cabin, so that whoever was missing in the rest cabin was most likely to be the man in black.
This is basically 90% certain.
Jiao Ba's plan can avoid failure to the minimum. I can't say it's perfect, but it's at least the best move. This tomb robber's head is indeed stronger than that of a soldier like me.
After arriving on the deck, the two of us started to move separately. Jiao Ba slowly put down the lifeboat, got on the boat, and rowed directly to the bearded fishing boat.
And I quietly climbed up to the top of the boat and lay on it to observe. The viewing angle here is relatively wide, and I can see almost every corner of the fishing boat. As long as I observe diligently, I will immediately notice once someone leaves the fishing boat.
, it can be absolutely foolproof.
Tonight, I feel an inexplicable excitement, maybe all the mysteries will be solved tonight.
I have been watching Jiao Ba since he went into the sea. Although the two fishing boats are not right next to each other, they are very close, only forty or fifty meters away at most. By the moonlight,
He could see very clearly that he had rowed the boat to the side of the bearded fishing boat and quickly climbed aboard.
Then he flashed his flashlight to tell me that he was ready, and then I flashed his flashlight in his direction to tell him that everything was ready and he could wait patiently for the man in black to appear.
I lay on the roof of the boat, observing the surrounding situation back and forth, not daring to be careless. The man in black was so powerful that as long as I relaxed even a little bit, he might slip out from under my nose.
Time passed minute by minute, an hour passed, and there was still no movement. I was a little anxious. Is what Jiao Ba said accurate? If the man in black didn't show up, wouldn't the two of us have to be together?
Stay out here all night.
But I thought about it again, even if the man in black doesn't show up, someone will always show off. Maybe the person hiding behind will show up tonight. This is all possible.
Just when I was concentrating, I suddenly asked about a scent. It was a light scent. This scent was very special and strange. It was not a floral scent, let alone a perfume. It was a very lingering scent that made people feel happy after smelling it.
Very comfortable.
But I was very puzzled, where did the fragrance come from in this vast sea? At this moment, I suddenly saw the flashlight of a flashlight on the bearded boat opposite. The light flashed very quickly. This was Jiao Bafa.
The emergency signal came, does it mean that someone has already boarded the ship?
Who could it be? I stayed here for a long time, but I didn't find anyone leaving the fishing boat. This was really an oversight on my part. That person actually ran out without my noticing.
I didn't have time to think too much, so I quickly turned over, climbed down from the top of the boat quietly, and went straight to our rest cabin. The aisle of the cabin was quiet, with nothing but lights, and no sound could be heard.
I came to the door of the rest cabin, slowly opened the door, and then turned on the light. But after I turned on the light, I was a little dumbfounded. There was no one in our rest cabin, not even Shunzi or other sailors.
The bed was neat and tidy, with no trace of any movement at all.
I turned around and ran out, and quickly went to the other three rest cabins to check, but the result was the same as before. There was no one in the three rest cabins, including Jenny, Li Xin, Mr. Mai, the helmsman, the repairman, and the big man.
They are all gone.
I almost searched the fishing boat from the inside out, including the canteen, kitchen, and operation room, but there was still no trace of anyone. I was the only one left on the entire fishing boat.
This... what the hell is going on? Where have they gone? I remember clearly that when I first got on the roof of the boat, they were all sleeping in the room, but an hour later, everyone suddenly came together
The news has disappeared? It’s as if he has disappeared from the world.
I watched on the top of the boat for an hour, but I didn't find anyone leaving. Where did they go? I calmed myself down, and then I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have dropped a place to check.
I remember when I first got on the fishing boat, Jenny took us to familiarize ourselves with the environment, but there were still two utility rooms that we had not entered. Could it be that... When I thought of this, I quickly ran towards the utility rooms.
These two utility rooms are in the most inconspicuous position in the cabin. I have never entered them once since I boarded the ship. I never know what is contained in them.
There were two utility rooms, one on the left and one on the right, and there was a small aisle in the middle. I took a look and saw that both doors were closed. Then I walked to the left and tried to open the first one with my hands.
The hatch on the left was not locked, and the handle opened easily. I gently pushed the door open, and it was dark inside. The switch at the door didn't work, and the lights couldn't be turned on at all.
I took out the lighter from my pocket and lit it, and walked in. By the light of the fire, I walked around inside. It was not a big place, but it was empty. There was nothing, not even some old things. It was really
Strange.
I quickly exited and ran straight to the right. When I walked to the right cabin door, I smelled an unpleasant fishy smell. The smell was very pungent and not fishy at all.
This is... I suddenly thought, this is obviously the smell of blood, a very strong smell of blood. Oh no, something happened. Cold sweat flowed down my forehead, and soon it covered my whole body.
I quickly went to twist the handle of the hatch, but the hatch was locked tightly and I couldn't open it at all. I took a step back and tried to kick it a few times with my feet, but it still had no effect.
***I risked my life. This time I stepped back a few meters and rushed over. With a bang, I knocked the hatch open with my body, and I followed the collapsed hatch.
Fell to the ground.
This fall caused pain everywhere in my body. After holding on for a few seconds, I supported my body and tried to get up. I unconsciously touched something sticky with my right hand. It was very sticky and sticky. What the fuck?
What?
The cabin was still dark. I took out my lighter and took a quick look. Oh my god, my right palm was covered in blood. I raised my head and looked forward. Under the light of the lighter, I was stunned by the sight in my eyes.
