The big man was next to him, holding the other half of the jade pendant in his hand and asked, "Which dynasty is this jade pendant from? The pattern looks good, but it's just two halves."
"It's a jade pendant from the early Ming Dynasty. So, you both think this thing has no value?" Jiao Ba looked at them with an evil smile on his face. He must have some idea, otherwise he must not ask this question.
The big man's reaction was slower, "Well, it looks like it has no value anymore, which is a pity..."
"Wait a minute, you can't say that. No matter what, these are all antiques. Didn't Jiao Ba say it? This is something from the early Ming Dynasty. Even if it is not valuable, it is still an antique for its size. It is still worth it.
You can sell it for two cents, don't you think?" The old boy, Mantou, was rather naughty, so he quickly interrupted the big man and pulled him back.
Jiao Ba raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying much. Chang Shan held the golden ball in his hand, frowned and looked around and said, "This is just a golden ball? I can't see any characteristics, but I always feel that it's not that simple.
, but the ancients rarely made this kind of golden balls, why?”
"Show me." Li Xin took it and took a look at it. She soon shook her head and said, "It's nothing special. It looks like a golden ball made of ordinary gold. Jiao Ba, what is this thing for?"
Jiao Ba curled his lips and said, "I don't know. I wish I knew what it was for. I have no clue."
"What about this? What is this used for?" Shunzi asked, holding the golden key in his hand and looking at Jiao Ba.
"I don't know, it looks like a key, but I don't know what it does specifically." Jiao Ba said casually, but what he said was the truth. The two of us studied it for a long time, but we didn't know.
You can figure out what these two things are used for.
Martin took the golden key from Shunzi's hand. He lowered his head and looked at it and said, "You really don't know anything about it. Do you really don't know, or are you deliberately not telling us?" He was talking to Jiao Ba.
, it seems that he is a little dissatisfied.
"Do you think everyone is the same as you? There is no truth in your mouth? What I said is all the truth." Jiao Ba said very rudely.
Martin was not angry this time. He put down what he was holding and said, "This thing is obviously a key. Where did you find it?"
"Didn't I just say it? It was found in a sunken ship." Jiao Ba said impatiently.
"Where is the sunken ship? To be more specific, the sunken ship is so big, there must be a place, right?" Martin looked at him and asked.
Jiao Ba stared at him with squinted eyes. He must have been filled with hatred in his heart. He said rudely, "You don't know where it is. You haven't even seen a sunken ship. Even if I tell you, can you?"
Do you understand? Just stay calm and stop talking so much, okay?"
"You...you are simply unreasonable." Martin said an idiom angrily. This kid spoke Chinese really fluently.
"It's just that there is no sincerity at all. Let me tell you, Captain, let's just avoid it. They don't want us to know why we are still here. It's really boring." Lao Shui said next to Martin, and it seemed that
Everyone is still very clearly divided, and it is difficult to integrate with each other.
Jiao Ba looked at Lao Shui with contempt and said, "You know? You are just a wallflower. You will fall wherever the wind blows."
"Stop sarcastic at me. You are not a good person either. Don't think that just because you have some skills, you will be great. To put it bluntly, you are just a thief who steals chickens and dogs. It's really funny." Lao Shui tilted his head and said sarcastically.
Jiao Ba's eyes were twitching. It seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore. He slowly stood up and said, "Old immortal, it was a mistake to save your life. I really should have let you die in that ice city."
At this time, Mr. Mai slammed the table and shouted, "Shut up, Martin, and take care of your people. If anyone doesn't want to hear it, they can leave here immediately. Don't let me say another sentence."
.”
"Huh, Captain, you've seen it. Now this is almost their ship. It's so damn annoying. You are the captain. You can bear this anger, but I can't stand it. Xiaofeng, let's go."
Shui said angrily, pulled up Xiaofeng, stood up and was about to leave.
At this time, Martin grabbed his arm and said, "Sit down, don't be so worthless, we are all in a cooperative relationship, there is no distinction between superior and inferior."
He looked calm, but I knew that he was about to explode in his heart. Mai Lao's behavior just now was somewhat biased in favor of Jiao Ba. After all, we are a group. Even if there are any differences, they are internal conflicts among us.
, has nothing to do with Martin and the others.
Lao Shui gasped, with an angry look on his face, but never said a word. Martin said again, "What? You don't even listen to my words?"
"I...hey." Lao Shui sat down again in a hurry. This person actually has advantages. His emotions are all expressed on his face. He doesn't disguise his emotions. On the contrary, he is better than that kind of insidious villain.
More than anything, I admire his character very much.
When Mai Lao saw that it was almost done, he said again, "Okay Jiao Ba, Martin and the others have never seen the sunken ship, but we have all seen it, so where did you find these things on the sunken ship? This is very
The essential."
I thought it was bad, but I still didn't go around it. This old guy Mai Lao is too scheming. If Jiao Ba tells everything, it will be difficult to handle. Even if he doesn't mention me, it will be difficult for him.
Explain that the things found on the two female corpses in the coffins alone prove that Jiao Ba has selfish motives. It depends on how he explains it. I am not going to interrupt, otherwise it will be easy to mess up.
"Which one are you specifically asking about? These items were found in different places of the sunken ship." Jiao Ba said calmly.
When he said this, I felt more confident. This matter wouldn't be so embarrassing. Although I knew I felt guilty for doing this, it was still a white lie. If Jiao Ba and I didn't take action, this would have happened.
There's no telling whose hands a few things will fall into.
"Then let's talk about it one by one, starting with this jade pendant." Martin threw the jade pendant over casually.
Jiao Ba reached out to take the jade pendant and said calmly, "This jade pendant, also called phoenix pendant, is one of the dragon and phoenix pendants. I found half of it in the shipwrecks of the Qing Dynasty and the shipwrecks of the Ming Dynasty."
"Were they found separately?" Chang Shan asked a little surprised.
"Yes, they were found separately, but...these two half-pieces of jade pendants have one thing in common. They were all found on the two female corpses in coffins." Jiao Ba paused, and finally told the truth.
come out.
I couldn't sit still for a while, but he looked at me and gave me a calm look, telling me to stop talking and just listen to him. I had no choice but to give up and see how he wanted to explain this.
The origin of things.
"You mean, each of the two female corpses has half of this jade pendant?" Li Xin asked.
"That's it. Each female corpse has half a jade pendant in its hand. When put together, it becomes a complete piece." Jiao Ba crossed his legs and said leisurely.
"A jade pendant has made such a big fuss and is kept separately. What is the significance of this jade pendant?" Mantou asked confusedly, holding the jade pendant in his hand.
Jiao Ba glanced at him and said, "Of course I have a reputation, but how big is it? Do you want to know?"
"This... nonsense, of course I want to know." Steamed Bun was a little reluctant.
"Jiao Ba, when did you find it? Why do I have no impression at all?" Mai Lao looked at him sideways, and his eyes proved that he was a little unhappy.
Jiao Ba sneered, "There's nothing surprising about this. Don't forget, I'm a tomb robber. This little thing is easy for me. It's not a big deal." He told the truth of the matter in a simple sentence.
Since it has been covered up, others will probably not ask any more questions.
"So where are these two golden things?" Steamed Bun asked quickly. It seemed that the previous page had been turned.
"They were also found separately. One was found from each of the two sunken ships in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Mr. Mai, you should know that the golden key was discovered by Big Beard first." Jiao Ba said softly.
Mr. Mai suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered it. Big Beard found this from the mouth of the female corpse, but why did this thing come to you again?"
"You escaped at that time. The scene was very chaotic. The female corpse almost killed everyone. I also took advantage of the chaos to get this thing from the bearded body. Fortunately, I acted quickly, otherwise
This thing will be buried at the bottom of the sea along with Big Beard." Jiao Ba stretched out his hand to make gestures and said with a sly look on his face.
"So that's it, then this golden ball, needless to say, must have been found on another female corpse." Mr. Mai held the ball in his hand and said with an understanding tone.
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. We fished out the second coffin that day, and I went to open the coffin alone that night. This thing was found from the mouth of the female corpse that night."
After hearing Jiao Ba's words, I was immediately discouraged. It was over. Now he had confessed to me. Now it was difficult to hide it. How should I explain it? Or should I tell the truth like him?
"I mean Jiao Ba, I remember...Zhongyi was with you that night? We went to the boat to find you, and Zhongyi was still bleeding at that time, is that right?" Mantou asked, unsure.
"Yes, yes, there is such a thing. Didn't Zhongyi say that you two went to the kitchen to find something to eat? He also said that the corner of the mouth was not blood, but ketchup. You are really fooling me." The big man spoke at the same time.
He glanced at me. Although he was a little stunned, I found that this kid also had a very good memory. He actually remembered it so clearly.
"That's true, Zhongyi, what on earth is going on?" Mai Lao cast a dark gaze over.
