After I finished speaking, Mr. Mai quickly asked me, "Are you saying that the strange scream that scares away the sharks comes from the dark sea?"
"Well, it sounds like that to me." This old guy had to repeat what I said, which made me very depressed.
"Yi Ge, is that dark sea area you mentioned the place where Huzi's men died last time?" Shunzi looked at me and asked.
"Yes, that's right. Not long after you went out to sea, I discovered that sea area. I think the sunken ship should be there. Mr. Mai, what should I do now?" I won't be reckless this time. Life
Honesty is precious, you can't do it blindly, otherwise you will die easily.
"As I said before, no matter what lies ahead, we have to find the sunken ship. Zhongyi, can you still go to the sea?" Mai Lao looked at me and asked. In fact, I knew in my heart that he wanted me to go to the sea.
"No problem, I'm not injured, but Shunzi shouldn't go into the sea for the time being. His wounds haven't healed yet." I nodded and replied.
Shunzi immediately interjected, "Brother Yi, my injury doesn't matter, I want to go with you."
Mai Laoyi waved his hand and said, "Shunzi, please don't go and rest peacefully. Jiao Ba, you can go to the sea with us later."
"Ah?? I still want to go? I..." Jiao Ba showed a shit-eating expression.
"What? Do you have any objections?" Mai Lao raised his head and glanced at him. This old guy seemed to hold a grudge. Jiao Ba had embarrassed him several times and he had to regain his face.
Just when Jiao Ba was about to answer, I looked at him and said, "Go if you are told. There is so much nonsense." Jiao Ba nodded helplessly. I spoke, and he had to go.
"Do you guys have any other suggestions? If not, we'll set off in an hour." Mai Lao glanced around and saw no one objected. He finally said, "Okay, let's go and have a rest. We'll meet on the deck in an hour.
."....
A few of us returned to the rest cabin. The other sailors were in high spirits and continued to play poker for entertainment. Sometimes I admire them. They face the problem of life and death every day, but they can have such fun, but think about it.
They never knew the danger, and Mai Lao and Jenny didn't let us tell them many things.
These sailors are pitiful enough, including a few of us. At first I went to sea for money, but now I want to solve the mystery of all this. If you think about it carefully, this may be the fate in the legend. Just as I was sitting
While he was thinking wildly on the bed, Jiao Ba came over and said, "Brother Yi, let's go out and relax and smoke two cigarettes."
He winked at me, and I understood immediately, "Okay, let's go out and have a smoke. It's too oppressive here."
The two of us walked and talked, laughing and joking, and arrived on the deck. There was no one on the deck now. I suddenly asked in a low voice, "How are you? Did you find anything?"
Jiao Ba took out a cigarette and threw one to me, "No, I turned all the rest cabins upside down, but I checked everyone who wrote the notes, and none of them were right.
"
I took the cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs and said, "What do you mean? There are still people on board who don't write notes?"
Jiao Ba said calmly, "Of course there are, but there are only two people, Jenny and Li Xin."
What? Jenny and Li Xin? If Li Xin doesn’t write notes, I can think of it. She has many reasons to be suspicious. The most important thing is that Li Xin is the object of my suspicion. I even thought that she can’t write notes.
.
But why doesn’t Jenny write notes? A graduate student in the history department like her should have the habit of writing notes. She has been at sea for so many days, experienced so many things, and several sailors have died. She has no reason.
If she doesn't write notes, is it because she doesn't want to write, or is she hiding something on purpose?
"If Li Xin doesn't write notes, I can imagine that this woman may be hiding some ulterior secrets because she pretends to be talkative all day long, but why doesn't Jenny write notes? I really want to
I don’t understand.” I asked my question.
"I've also thought about this. Maybe Li Xin is just like you said. In order to hide herself, she erased all the ways to leak information. But Jenny doesn't write notes. I can only think of one thing." Jiao
When Ba said this, he looked at me intentionally.
"Which point?" I asked, looking at him.
"I don't want to write." Jiao Ba said in an idiotic manner.
I went up and gave him a big smile and scolded him, "Fuck you, uncle, are you still using your fucking farts?"
Jiao Ba covered his head and said with a smile, "Haha, just kidding, brother, there should be two reasons why Jenny doesn't write notes. The first point is that she doesn't have the habit of writing notes, and the second point is that she writes the notes
Take it with you. Jenny and Li Xin have been on the deck since you went to sea. Taking this opportunity, I went through all the rest compartments. If she really wrote notes, then there is only this possibility,
Just take it with you."
"Think about my sworn brother, Jenny doesn't have to go to the sea, and there's nothing wrong with carrying her notes with her. This thing itself is a piece of junk. She doesn't want others to see it. Isn't it normal?"
After listening to Jiao Ba's explanation, I felt it made sense, but then I thought of another point, "Jenny usually only lives in the same room with Li Xin. If it comes to sex, no one except Li Xin will know who is free."
I have nothing to do to go back and look through other people’s notes. It’s not a big deal. Could Jenny be doing this deliberately to avoid Li Xin?”
"It's not impossible, but these are just our speculations. It's hard to draw conclusions. We don't know how close Jenny and Li Xin are. Is Jenny deliberately avoiding her, or what?
We are all just guessing, but this also proves that this woman Li Xin is indeed quite suspicious." Jiao Ba threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said with narrowed eyes.
I snorted coldly and said, "I have suspected her for a long time. This woman deliberately put on a dead face so that we would not pay attention to her. But the more she behaves like this, the more disgusted I am with her, and the more I feel that she is doing it on purpose.
Let's stay put for now, and I want to see what tricks Li Xin can pull off."
"Well, that's all we can do." Jiao Ba nodded.
At this time, I suddenly thought of another person, "By the way, Lao Ba, have you read Mr. Mai's notes?"
"Have seen it. The first thing I checked was his notes. The handwriting of this old guy is very different from that of the person who left the note. Ordinary people can tell the difference at a glance. This old guy's handwriting is good and he writes very well.
." Jiao Ba actually praised Mr. Mai.
I frowned and thought, there is a big difference? Why is there such a big difference? Is it intentional, or is he not Mr. Mai in the first place? But how to explain that he suddenly disappeared in the shipwreck last time? What is there in him?
What secret? Is it really like what he said, that he just served as a soldier in his early years? I don't think so, this old guy is so cunning, there is probably something wrong with him.
"Haha, don't you think it's strange that the difference is so big?" I looked at Jiao Ba and asked.
"No way, all the sailors on the ship took notes, and the people who left the notes are very different. Is there anything strange about this?" Jiao Ba asked incomprehensively.
"Others can talk easily, but he can't. But what we say now is all nonsense. We have to find real evidence. We will investigate this matter later. Come on, old man, it's time to go to sea soon. Let's get ready."...
