"Karen said he didn't see Mark that night, and Mark didn't enter the Black Fang."
"But in fact, he was wrong."
"That's just a way for Mark to hide his identity from others."
Time passed by, and a jeep was parked not far away, waiting for the arrival of the three people.
After getting on the bus, Abe Ishigo sat between Ye Chen and Smith.
"In fact, Mark has arrived on the Black Fang long ago. Long before the celebration party started, long before Karen knew about it, and long before everyone noticed, he hid on the Black Fang."
"Aaron, don't you think it's strange?"
"Catherine didn't show up during the entire celebration party. She didn't even see what Smith did."
"But how could she appear in the captain's cabin at exactly that time so accurately?"
"Because someone led her to the captain's cabin, right?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Abe Ishigo and expressed his guess.
Although Ye Chen had been curious about this before, thinking about it, there was a mole lurking in the Black Fang.
Therefore, perhaps Catherine's appearance is also a trick of the insider.
But from the tone of Abe Ishigo's tone, it sounded like Mark had done it himself.
"But I still don't quite understand..."
Ye Chen looked at Abe Ishigo with a bit of distrust in his eyes.
"If all of this is really Mark's doing, with his way of doing things, how do you know the ins and outs of these things?"
"Obviously, even Karen, who betrayed you, doesn't know about Mark's existence, right?"
Abe Ishigo smiled slightly.
"Aaron, I really underestimated you before."
"Maybe I will lose even if I involve you two brothers in this matter."
After feeling this way for a while, Abe Ishigo gently touched his nose.
"Yes, logically speaking, Mark's plan can be said to be seamless. Almost no one except Catherine will know that he did this."
"Catherine?"
"Isn't she dead?"
Abe Ishigo nodded slightly.
"It's precisely because of this that I haven't explained to you just now how Catherine died, right?"
Ye Chen nodded.
Speaking of which, it seems that I have been asking the other party about the most important role in the whole matter - Smith's ex-wife, the cause of death of Catherine.
But both Smith and Abe Ishigo seem to be a little evasive about her.
Say something that is basically irrelevant to the situation.
"She was raped and murdered!"
Abe Ishigo squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Chen and said suddenly.
After hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Smith, who was sitting on the other side of Abe Ishigo.
The man with his head lowered looked at his feet. His face, which originally had some fine lines, seemed to be getting older.
He could suddenly understand why Smith said nothing about his wife.
"Is he... telling the truth?"
Ye Chen stared at Smith and asked.
"She shouldn't have ended up like that..."
Smith did not answer Ye Chen's question, but said this lightly.
"You bastard!"
There was no difference between this answer and affirmation. Ye Chen's anger rose in his heart, and he grabbed Smith by the collar and pulled him in front of him.
Smith looked away.
Seeing the other party's appearance of breaking a jar, Ye Chen couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
Just when he was about to raise his fist and punch the loser in front of him, Abe Ishigo coughed slightly, indicating to Ye Chen that now was not the best time to take action.
"Even if everything is Mark's trap, your wife's death has nothing to do with you!"
Ye Chen glared at Smith and snorted before throwing him back to his position.
"I never thought about escaping this responsibility!"
"It is precisely for this reason that I cannot lose my position as captain of the Black Fang!"
"snort!"
Abe Ishigo looked sideways at Smith, snorted and shook his head.
"Smith, tell me then, what exactly did you do as captain of the Black Tusk in the ten years after Catherine's death?"
"Have you really thought about avenging her?"
"Of course I do!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Of course you do. The action you take every time is to continue to work for those guys in the Black Hawk Gang, right?"
"Don't forget! When we sent Mark to the Black Hawk Gang, who said there was insufficient evidence and let the guy go?"
"Ten years! Smith, I gave you ten years of opportunity!"
"But you never thought about leaving the Black Hawk Gang and going it alone!"
"You are a coward!"
"Catherine's death is not just Mark's, everyone in the Black Hawk Gang is involved!"
Abe Ishigo glared at Smith and roared in a low voice.
Not only Ye Chen, but also Abe Ishigo's emotions began to get a little out of control.
"So how did you discover Catherine's body and conclude that Mark did everything?"
"Hmph!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Abe Ishigo, who was sitting between the two, suddenly laughed.
He turned to look at Ye Chen, his eyes full of helplessness.
"He hasn't told you yet, has he?"
"So that's it, he's still thinking about getting the last bit of face..."
He glanced at Smith one last time.
"He also said just now that he searched almost every place on the island, but couldn't find Catherine."
"Ten years ago, we were all a group of rough sailors, with our minds full of money, violence, alcohol and women. How could we possibly find a woman who is thinking about everything on this vast sea?"
"Aaron!"
Abe Ishigo took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled it.
"I'll just tell you the truth."
He shook his head and looked at Ye Chen.
"We don't know! We have been played and applauded by Mark from the beginning to the end. We don't know anything!"
"Other than finding Karen and knowing that he put that woman in the banquet hall, we don't know anything."
"We didn't even know Catherine had died that stormy night!"
Ye Chen frowned slightly and stared at Abe Ishigo, his face full of confusion.
"But...you just..."
"right!"
Abe Ishigo nodded.
"We obviously don't know anything, but we finally understand the ins and outs of the matter. Isn't it strange?"
Abe Ishigo smiled slightly, his smile full of ridicule for himself.
“But if you think about it carefully, it’s actually not surprising!”
"Since we can't investigate, wouldn't it be okay as long as Mark himself tells us everything?"
Ye Chen's pupils narrowed.
"yes!"
Abe Ishigo looked out the window.
"I will never forget that day, when Catherine's bruised body was brought off the Black Tusk, the expressions of other people on the ship."
