We discussed it for more than two hours, but couldn't find any very useful clues. According to Jenny, these sailors, including Gangzi, were introduced by the company, so who knew that the bearded man had a voyage in Jenny's hands?
Where is the picture? One thing is for sure, it is definitely not through Gangzi. Big Beard is now dead, and there is no evidence to prove it. The clues I thought I could find have now been broken again, and I have gone in a big circle, and now I am back to the starting point.
"This is strange. How did Big Beard know that you have navigation charts? Have you known that Gangzi before?" I looked at Jenny and asked.
"I don't know him. I've even seen him before." Jenny's words verified my judgment, which also proved that only someone who knew the navigation chart could reveal this news to the bearded man. So who could it be? This
What kind of conspiracy does this person have? Are he and the man in black the same person? The identity of the man in black has not yet been revealed. This has led to another incident. This is really a wave of events that are coming up again and again.
"Jenny, who knows about this navigation chart?" Jiao Ba once again asked what I wanted to know.
Jenny frowned and thought for a while and said, "Not many people know, except you, just the family, and now all the sailors on the ship also know."
I snorted and said, "Haha, it seems there is really a traitor on our ship."
"I think this traitor is you. From the moment you got on the ship, I think your character has been very questionable. You are a soldier, but you are just a gangster. Now you are still doubting others. It is really a thief calling for a thief."
Li Xin interrupted me harshly from the side again.
I wasn't angry either, so I smiled and said to her, "I think there's a big problem with your character. Aren't you also shouting to catch the thief?"
"you..."
"Okay, okay, I told you not to quarrel, why are you still quarreling? Let's put these things aside for now. Since everyone has nothing to do now, it is a blessing in misfortune. Let's not worry about these messy things for the time being.
Even if we continue to discuss it, there is still no result. It's very late, let's go back and have a rest. Tomorrow morning, we will discuss the search for the sunken ship. Let's get down to business first and talk about the rest later." Li Xin didn't wait for him to speak.
Well, Mr. Mai gave an ultimatum.
We nodded, got up and walked to our respective rest rooms. Along the way, I was still thinking about the ins and outs of these things. Why Bearded's men disappeared en masse, this is still a mystery. Are they dead?
I don't know what happened, but I always have a feeling in my heart that this matter is 100% related to someone on our ship. As for who he is, I will find out sooner or later.
When I just walked to the door of our rest room, I suddenly thought of what I was going to ask, but I couldn’t let others know about it. I said hello to Jiao Ba and returned to Jenny’s rest room. In order to avoid Li
Xin, I called Jenny to the deck alone.
"What's wrong? Why is it so urgent? It's so mysterious to talk about it like this." Jenny put her arms around her shoulders. It looked like she was a little cold. The sea breeze was a bit strong at night.
I took off my coat and put it on her, and said softly, "This shouldn't be too public. Let me ask you, how long have you known Li Xin and Mr. Mai?"
Jenny answered me in confusion, "How many years has it been? What happened?"
"Then who did you meet first?" I looked at her and asked seriously.
"I met Li Xin first, and then Mai Lao. What happened?" Jenny still didn't understand what I meant.
"Nothing, let me ask, was Mr. Mai introduced to you by Li Xin?" I really want to know this. If Mr. Mai was introduced by Li Xin, this matter would be a bit troublesome. Li Xin is so arrogant.
How could a woman have any connection with an old man? The most likely possibility is that the two of them have some ulterior secret. This is just my guess.
"No, Mr. Mai is a visiting professor in our school and is very well-known. Hey, who are they? You don't really doubt them, do you?" Jenny reacted and asked with an innocent expression on her face.
.
I pretended to be joking and said, "No, no, how can I? I'll just ask, let's go back, it's too cold outside."
Jenny and I each went back to our rest cabins. Shunzi and Jiao Ba were playing poker with two other sailors. When they saw me coming back, Jiao Ba smiled and asked me, "Would you like to play two games?"
I waved my hand and said, "I'm not interested in this thing. You guys should just play. I'm going to bed." Jiao Ba curled his lips and continued fighting with them.
I lay on the bed with my eyes closed. Due to exhaustion, I quickly fell asleep. I slept peacefully without any dreams. I don’t know how long I slept. I vaguely heard someone whispering softly.
Call my name, "Brother Yi, Brother Yi, wake up, wake up."
Then he shook my body gently, and I opened my eyes suddenly. Through the moonlight outside the window, I saw a person standing in front of me, it seemed to be Jiao Ba. I couldn't see clearly, "Who is it?"
"Shh~~~ It's my sworn brother." Sure enough, it was Jiao Ba, and he sat directly on my bed.
I sat up, looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Are you sick? Why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?"
Jiao Ba took something out of his hand and said, "I didn't want to call you, look at this."
I reached out and took it and saw it was a note, "What do you mean? I'm not gay." What kind of note did this guy give me when he had nothing to do? He was just messing around in the middle of the night.
"**, I'm telling you something serious. You'll understand when you look at it." Jiao Ba's tone became more serious. It didn't seem like he was joking.
I quickly opened the note and moved to the window. In the moonlight outside, I saw a line of words on the note. When I read this line, my head buzzed and I almost exploded.
Open, it clearly says, 'Keep the things in the female corpse's mouth away. If you lose them, be careful of your life.'
"When did you discover this?" I quickly asked Jiao Ba. Maybe I was too sleepy and didn't notice anyone entering our lounge. Cold sweat broke out instantly.
"I found it when I got up to go to the bathroom. The note was beside my bed. It seems that this person already knew that I had that thing in my hand." Jiao Ba's voice was a little trembling when he spoke. Although he tried his best to cover it up, I still couldn't help it.
I feel it.
I quickly took out the note that the man in black left for me and compared it. My eyes lit up and I got the result I wanted. The fonts of the two men were almost exactly the same, and there were obvious similarities.
I showed it to Jiao Ba and said, "Look, Lao Ba, the fonts are exactly the same. They should have been left by the man in black."
Jiao Ba looked at it carefully and said, "The handwriting does look the same on the outside, but... there are obvious elements of imitation."
"Imitation elements? You mean, this is not the work of a single person?" I can only get a rough idea, and I don't understand any of these detailed identification methods.
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "Well, the fonts look almost the same on the outside, but there are obvious differences in the places where the strokes are written. Outsiders can't see it. I have learned this, so I know a little bit."
"So, did someone deliberately leave this note to make us suspect the man in black?" I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Brother Yi, are you sure that the person who left you a note for the first time was the man in black?" Jiao Ba's words reminded me. I have always thought so, but I didn't see it at all.
Who left the note, but according to the possibility at that time, only the man in black knew that we had the jade pendant in our hands.
"Of course I'm not sure, but apart from the man in black, I really can't think of anyone else." This is a fact. There were only three people present at that time, Jiao Ba and I and the man in black. Could it be that,
Will there be others?
Jiao Ba took the note and looked at it again and said, "In this way, we tentatively assume that the person who left the note for the first time is the man in black. Based on this analysis, there are currently two possibilities. The first one is that the man in black left the note.
This time he did this to deceive others and make us suspect that there is another person. But the biggest doubt is why he didn’t just change the writing method, but instead made it so lifelike. If both of us are laymen
If so, you can’t tell the difference at all.”
"The second thing is that there really is another person, and he has been hiding behind the scenes. He did this to prevent us from suspecting him and divert our attention. This trick is indeed quite cunning.
"Jiao Ba's analysis is very comprehensive. This grandson's brain is indeed not in vain.
I thought about everything carefully and then said, "Well, your analysis makes sense, but it's hard to draw a conclusion now about whether it was one person or two people. We should check everyone's notes and take a look.
Can you find some clues?"
"I don't think it's that easy. Since he can leave a note, he should be able to expect us to check the notes, but that's all we can do. We'll find a chance to take a look tomorrow." Jiao Ba said softly.
I nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. Don't make this matter public. Just close the cabin door and pretend that nothing happened."
After Jiao Ba took care of the hatch door, he went back to sleep. Since the other party already knows that the golden key is in our hands, we don't need to be needlessly afraid. I just haven't figured it out. Besides the man in black, who else is there?
Is there anyone else, or is this all just a trap, just used to disrupt our thinking...
