I remembered that before this, when we were looking for firewood, Mr. Mai jokingly asked me if I wanted to go to the top of the mountain. I rejected it at the time. Now it seems that this is not casual.
Asked.
"From what you said, it sounds like...it was really premeditated."
I said indifferently, and the scene at that time was playing in my mind. What kind of medicine was sold by Mai Lao in this gourd? What on earth did he have in mind?
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "This is just the beginning. Then we ran all the way to the top of the mountain, from the top of the mountain to the cave, and then after you fell off the cliff. During this time, we all got separated. When we met again, we just escaped
Lingxi’s lair.”
"You later said that you and Jenny discovered two underground palaces and found two paintings, but one of them was lost on the way. Later, Jenny was attacked by someone and the painting in her hand was also lost. You said that you suspected
It was the man in black who did it, because the man Jenny described is very similar to the man in black, but you don’t know that Shunzi and I were not with Mr. Mai all the way. He was always alone.
action."
"We only met in Lingxi's lair. None of us know where Mai Lao has been or what he has done during this time, but combined with what happened to you and Jenny in the underground palace, his suspicions are very high.
Because the time difference between before and after is just right, if he knew about this place, considering the situation at that time, he would have enough time to find you."
When Jiao Ba said this, his eyes were shining with light, as if he could see through everything in the world.
I thought about it carefully, if Mai Laozhen was not with them all the way, then it is really possible. This old guy is unfathomable, and no one knows how capable he is.
"Even if he was alone at the time, we don't rule out that they were really separated. Mr. Mai saved me several times. Without him, I might have died a long time ago." You can't just look at things from one side, this is just Jiao Ba's actual situation.
From the analysis, only he himself knows where Mr. Mai has been.
"Save you? Haha, maybe he needs you. If he really has some ulterior motives behind his back, he can't accomplish it by himself. He needs us, so he has to save you. Do you understand?"
"One final point, when we arrived at the entrance of the main tomb, didn't you say we met the mysterious old man? The man in black also came out in the middle, and Mai Lao and Shunzi were ambushed. At that time, Mai Lao and Shunzi
They were together, but why was only Shunzi knocked unconscious and he was only slightly injured? Don't you think this is strange?"
Jiao Ba's eyes became more and more weird. This was a look I had never seen before. His voice also changed, and he sounded like a thief.
"Yes, I also felt that something was wrong at the time, but I just couldn't remember it. According to you...Shunzi was probably knocked unconscious by Mr. Mai?" This is the only way I can understand Jiao Ba's thoughts.
.
Jiao Ba threw away his hand and shook his head and said, "Well, it's very possible that he did it. They were together at the time. If he was the man in black, he had to knock Shunzi unconscious before he could show up.
, and when the man in black appeared for the second time, the time difference was just enough. Do you think this is all a coincidence? There are not so many coincidences in this world."
I sorted out my thoughts and said, "Well, what you said makes sense. It's happened twice in a row. It can't be a coincidence. How about... I find some time to check out Mr. Mai?"
Jiao Ba glanced at me and said with contempt, "What are you talking about? Do you think you can trick that old guy out? He can fool him by just telling some lies. If we do this, it will be the opposite."
If you scare the snake, it will be easier for Mr. Mai to target us."
"That's right. Although Mr. Mai is the biggest suspect, we don't have enough evidence after all. We have to wait until he reveals his flaws one after another." I squinted my eyes. It seemed that I would have to be more careful about him in the future.
"Actually, even if there is evidence, I will not question him. When he gets excited, he can easily kill you and me. By then, not to mention solving all the mysteries, he will even lose his damn life." Jiao Ba
He said with an evil smile, it seems that he is very afraid of Mr. Mai.
"Then what are you going to do?" I turned around and asked.
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "Just wait and see. Staying constant will overcome all changes. What you and I need to do is to follow his footsteps and see what secrets are hidden behind it. He is definitely not a kind person."
"
I recalled it and said, "I remember that when the old Taoist priest died, he said something in my ear. He told me to be careful about the person around me. But at the critical moment, he actually died, and I didn't know.
Who is this person he is talking about?"
"Just like you told me, the old man said that this island is not something that ordinary people can find. Since we can land on the island, we must need someone to lead us. So who will this person be?" After he finished speaking, a pair of thieves appeared.
Look at me.
"Yes...it's Mr. Mai." Apart from him, I really couldn't think of anyone else.
"It is very possible that so many doubts have appeared on him, and these doubts are not easy to find. This is deliberately hiding himself. There is just a lack of strong evidence now. But then again, even if it is not him, he
It cannot be separated from the relationship. In our group, almost everyone has his own secret, but it depends on whether the secret is good or bad." As Jiao Ba spoke, he looked up at the sky.
I turned around and leaned against the railing at the back, took a deep breath and said, "If Mr. Mai is the cat-eyed man in black, who is the ninja man in black? This man has never shown up on the island, which is really beyond my imagination.
.”
Jiao Ba looked at me and said, "I have never thought of this person. During the time I was on the island, I have been paying attention to everyone, hoping to find some clues. But unfortunately, except for Chang Shan and Mai Lao, everyone else is very
It's normal, even Li Xin behaves very normally."
"Chang Shan is really a strange person. When we were wandering at sea, I asked him about it, but unfortunately I didn't get anything out. You suspected that he was also a tomb robber at first, but that night, he denied it. He said that he knew the tomb robber.
Yes, but he is not." I scratched my head and felt a little headache. Except for Mr. Mai, who was considered a suspect, everyone else's performance was average this time.
"Maybe he's a wizard."
Jiao Ba's words shocked me again, "What did you say? Chang Shan is a wizard? Is this... is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible. Wizards are not only found in ancient times, but also in modern times. In fact, I have also discovered that he has some differences from me. Apart from that, I can't think of anything else. Now I see that he is
Whether it's good or bad, if it's good, it's very powerful for us, but if it's bad, then the road ahead will be even more difficult for us." Jiao Ba frowned, looking a little overwhelmed.
"Then is it possible that he is the hermit man in black?" I asked casually.
Jiao Ba glanced at me and said, "How do I know this? I didn't see the man in black at that time. Only you saw it with your own eyes. You couldn't even tell it, let alone me. However, this man can't hide for long."
, he will have to show up soon."
"How do you know? Are you so sure?" But sometimes I admire him. Last time he said that the man in black could show up at night, and he actually showed up.
"As long as we continue going down, he will definitely appear again." Jiao Ba clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
I nodded without saying anything, and Jiao Ba put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Brother Yi, haven't you noticed? This matter was originally very small, but now it has become bigger and bigger and involves more and more things."
, actually dug out Zheng He’s tomb, it seems that the final secret of this navigation chart is really extraordinary.”
