Hearing this, Victor was greatly puzzled. He asked Siqin for detailed information about the island. Later, Parker even got a nautical drawing to show him.
When Victor followed Siqin's fingers and saw the approximate location of the freighter, he became even more confused.
"Why is it there? Wait...what's the situation on that island? Are there any indigenous people? Are the freighters kidnapping those indigenous people and using them as slaves?"
"It's not..." Siqin quickly interrupted Victor's guess, "It was an uninhabited island, and as far as I know, this ship is very different from other ships involved in transporting slaves."
Xiqin casually picked up the fork on the dining table and marked it on the map.
"The Wind God Enlil is not transporting the slave population from the Western Continent to the Eastern Continent. Instead, it is loading the slaves onto the ship from near Renekton Pier and transporting them to this uninhabited desert island..."
Transporting slaves from Renekton to a deserted island?
Victor's eyes narrowed into slits, and he smelled a sinister smell again.
Most of the ships involved in illegal human trafficking arrived at Renekton from the west of the sea. Only this ship went in the opposite direction, sailing from Renkton to the west...
For a moment, Victor suddenly recalled the shipping bill that he and Mike found in the Renekton slave market.
The order stated that requesting cigars would transport slaves to the depths of the sea, to an island called "Akkad"...
Akkad?!
Victor once again thought of one thing, that is, in the Deep Diver incident, the people he met who were parasitized by the abyss painting skin, the noun they shouted was also "Akkad".
Everything seemed to be connected again, and Victor's heart was pounding.
"Is this island called Akkad?" Victor asked Sitchin seriously.
The latter expressed denial: "No, this island has no name. It is just a desert island at the end of the southern island chain. The island is so dry that it is almost impossible for plants to grow."
"How do you know where the ship ran aground?" Victor was surprised.
Sitchin explained: "After the accident, the Rockefeller Company sent an expedition there and discovered it. They took black and white photos as evidence, and the auction was also based on this."
It turns out that the ship is not in Saiguo. The auction can put this thing in the auction, and the person who buys it must have the ability to drive it back.
No wonder the price proposed by Siqin is so cheap.
Moreover, there are still several serious questions that Victor needs Siqin to answer in detail.
The first one is: Is the boat in good condition?
"Can't be sure..." Siqin took the tea brewed by Parker and took a sip without hiding anything.
"You're not sure? If it's broken, even if it only costs 40,000 francs, I won't buy a bunch of junk." Victor showed resistance for the first time.
However, Siqin gave him reassurance: "The expedition team has checked the condition of the hull and there are no signs of damage on the outside. There are people from Rockefeller Company in their team, so there will be no mistakes in their judgment."
"I don't trust them..." Victor shrugged.
"Based on the information on the Fengshen Enlil provided by Rockefeller Company, this ship was not manufactured at the factory, so there is no reason for it to be damaged. If you are really worried, you can sign a risk compensation agreement with me, and Baofeng Bank will be responsible for repairing the ship.
repair."
Unexpectedly, Siqin was willing to be a guarantee, which made Victor feel a lot more relieved.
He opened his mouth and was about to agree, but what Siqin said next made Victor suddenly feel a chill.
"I have confidence in the integrity of that ship, and I don't care about the possible repair costs. However... the biggest problem you have to face now is how to solve the missing persons case on that ship..."
Hearing this, Victor suddenly realized something, and his eyelids jumped involuntarily.
That's right, he was so excited that he didn't realize the meaning of Xiqin's words.
Sitchin said that the island was an uninhabited desert island, so where did the crew and slaves on the Aeolian Enlil go?
"Didn't Rockefeller's expedition find those slaves and crew members?"
Seeing that Victor finally noticed, Siqin shook his head seriously.
"No, they all disappeared..."
…
In the large house of the Cambino family on Diamond Road in Laketon, Mike sat in the middle of the courtyard under the night sky, holding half a glass of grape juice in his hand and staring at the open space in front of him in a daze.
Mosquitoes were hovering on the gas lamp above his head, and those buzzing sounds made the seemingly calm Mike even more upset.
He raised his hand and looked at the capillaries on the back of his hand. The skin seemed drier than before and had some wrinkles.
Suddenly, the scene that had revealed the fatality filled Mike's mind.
The wine glass fell out of hand and broke. The subordinates in front of the door rushed over to check on the boss. When he realized that it was not an attack, he relaxed his vigilance.
"Can't sit still and wait for death..." Mike said something abruptly, leaving the bodyguards stunned in place. Then he stood up and left his seat...
…
All the crew members of the stranded freighter are missing...
The slave also disappeared.
After chatting with Sitchin that night, Victor had been thinking about the problem of the Aeolian Enlil.
He did not reject Siqin's proposal, and had already signed the contract that night, promising to give up claiming losses from Storm Bank and accept the transfer of the Aeolian Enlil.
If the boat was intact, Victor would have made a fortune.
But as Sitchin said, how does Victor face the disappearance of the original crew of the Aeolian Enlil?
What kind of trouble will the families of those crew members cause him?
According to Sitchin, the Rockefeller Company's expedition found no human corpses within a few nautical miles, and there were no corpses on the island. There was only a lone freighter stranded on the beach of the island.
There is no food on a desert island, and humans cannot survive for more than a few days without the cargo ship. So if those people did not die, where did they go?
Is it a deep diver?
Victor once again recalled the strange ghost ship, but then he denied it.
Based on his experience in fighting against deep divers, he doesn't think that is the method of deep divers.
Then the question is, how will Victor drive the ship back?
He needs a team of shipping personnel, and also needs to determine whether the cargo ship has sufficient fuel, check whether the hull is damaged, etc...
With so much work to be done, Victor seriously doubted how much he would have to pay.
"Don't rush it."
Soon, he figured out what to do as the first step.
Rockefeller's report is not very reliable. He needs to go to the site to investigate the situation in person. It is best to hire a professional to accompany him and have him evaluate the Aeolian Enlil.
So who should we hire? You can’t just find an unemployed sailor. You must at least find technicians, or managers who have been engaged in ocean shipping for a long time.
