Chapter Twenty-Six

For the wise, weapons are never just fists or knives and guns, but also mouths and heads that are necessary to rely on at all times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sherlock succeeded in convincing the pirates who hijacked the ship that he wanted to thank the employer behind the other party, perhaps because he was afraid of causing too much movement, so he only dared to hire these third-rate pirates with little knowledge, so that he could change his mind with a pair of sharp mouths.

From robbery and murder to kidnapping and ransom, although it is a newly opened business and not very skilled, the pirates still have the professionalism of doing one line of love and one line of work, at least they are not so vicious about Sherlock.

However, the minimum precautions were still there, and after waiting for a long time on the ship, the pirate leader Pigtailed Man handed over a phone bug to Sherlock and asked him to discuss the ransom with his relatives.

Sherlock picked up the phone bug and hesitated for a moment, but finally dialed Tony's number under the wary gaze of several pirates guarding him.

The phone rang a few times before it was connected, and Tony seemed to have stepped out of the shadows, and his voice was rejuvenated: "Hey, who?"

"Tony, I'm Sherlock. ”

Tony's voice was a little surprised: "It's Sherlock, what a coincidence, I'm ...... now." ”

Sherlock noticed that there was something wrong with the expressions of several pirates, and quickly interrupted Tony: "The others will wait for a while, I have been kidnapped by a group of pirates now, you can help me prepare a ransom of 40 million Bailey first." ”

The phone bug vividly studied Tony's scrambled appearance when he heard the bad news at first glance, and Sherlock took the opportunity to explain with a smile to a few pirates: " I know you doubt why I didn't call my father, my father is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, his every move is noticed, if I call him, it may attract the attention of others, I am a businessman, since I promised a few people to pay the ransom, I will not break my word, you do business at sea with your own skills, I don't want to risk my own life, so let my friends raise the ransom, you can rest assured, it will not cause twists and turns. ”

"I like to make friends the most, 40 million Bailey, and the extra is a meeting gift I give to a few people. ”

Sherlock is now on a small merchant ship, and the original crew is only about twenty at most, and there are only five or six people who have positions, and it is obvious that the ransom will be less than a thousand Baileys.

The pirates looked at each other, believed Sherlock's words, and had a much better attitude towards him.

Sherlock continued to Tony on the other side of the phone: "Forty million Bailey, remember, don't inform the Navy or any other outsiders, you can ask the person you mentioned a few days ago to pay, and I'll call you again in an hour, if that person doesn't have the guts to come ......." ”

The phone bug in Tony's hand seemed to have been picked up by someone, and a calm voice interrupted Sherlock's words: "I am the 'man' that Tony mentioned to you a few days ago - William, Mr. Sherlock." ”

Sherlock was stunned, and then heard William say, "I will personally send the money I want." ”

The leader of the pirates snatched the phone bug and said viciously: "Don't be careful, we are a shark pirate group, if you act rashly, you will never want to see your friends again in this life!"

William chuckled: "When the time comes, I will come to see you alone, on a ship, with my bare hands except for money, this is all right, are you still afraid of this?"

The pirate leader snorted and threw the phone bug back to Sherlock.

Sherlock is also a bold figure, otherwise he would not dare to use his sharp teeth to kill people without blinking, and the pirate who kills him for payment will be turned into kidnapping him for ransom.

Sherlock actually said directly to William on the phone bug's side: "I owe you 40 million Bailey first, but this time I paid such a big price just to negotiate this cooperation with you, so I want to control that business." ”

William was silent for a moment before he smiled heartily: "In the final analysis, this matter is because of me, of course the money is paid by me, as for the matter of cooperation, we will return to one yard and talk about it afterwards." ”

Sherlock wanted to say something more, the phone bug had already been snatched by the impatient pirate leader and hung up, the ship was not too far from the shore, the time and place of the joint could be talked about later, he had to discuss it with the other cadres in the pirate group first.

……

On the other side, in an office in a two-story tavern in Momiji Village, William returned the phone bug to Tony.

Akin and Edmund were also in the house.

William originally took the two of them to Tony to study the procedures for setting up a workshop in Momiji Village, and by the way, he inquired about Sherlock's information, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.

Tony's brows tightened: "I can only scrape together a few million Bailey's cash, no matter how much I can't get together, how much do you have?"

Tony is just a gangster leader, Red Leaf Village is not very prosperous, at least it is far less than Frostmoon Village, not to mention that there is a group of idle hooligans pointing at him to eat, so the income is not much, which is one of the reasons that pushed him to accept William's proposal.

"Seventeen million Baileys. "Cash is even less." ”

When Tony heard this, he stood up from behind his desk with some anxiety and walked back and forth: "Even if it all adds up, it's only about 20 million Baileys, only half!"

"How could Sherlock have thought of asking us to help raise the ransom, and why didn't he care about his father's money!?" Tony grumbled to himself.

"His father is the president of a chamber of commerce, this kind of position, is held by local people with high moral integrity, I don't know how many people watch his every move, if he calls to raise ransom, most of them can't hide from the people around him, there are many people, maybe it will be spread out, alarming the navy or other official forces. William broke the mystery in one mouth, "What's more, looking at your description of him, the son of the president of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, if he wasn't forced to do so, I'm afraid he wouldn't be willing to trouble his father." ”

William took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on his desk, sniffed it nostalgically, and then put it on his mouth, but did not light it, but continued easily: "Of course, the most important thing is that he deliberately mentioned me on the phone, probably to take the opportunity to see how much capital I have to talk about cooperation with him, if not, maybe I am ready to find his father." ”

William smiled when he said this, thinking that this person named Sherlock was quite interesting, he was a bold person in his previous life, both on weekdays and in the business field, but if you think about it from another perspective, one day he was kidnapped by a group of Somali pirates who killed people without blinking, and he must have tried his best to ensure his own safety first, unlike this one, at this time, his life was pinched in the hands of others, and he was still thinking about business matters, and even intrigued with him on the phone.
