"Marina, what's wrong with you...... Are you sick? Peter told me you weren't in good spirits this morning, why don't you take a break?"

Outside the lab, Professor Cook, in a thicker coat, dusts the brim of his hat.

"No, no problem, I just didn't sleep well last night, it's not because of the shipwreck, I'm wondering what to do if I really saw the ghost. ”

The image of yesterday evening kept wandering in her mind, and Marlena didn't know which tendon she was wrong at the time, but she closed her eyes when people talked to her.....

In the end, he didn't wait for what he wanted, and he made the other party very embarrassed.

"Professor, are you ready, don't forget to bring an umbrella, it's not raining now, and it won't be clear in a while. ”

Donald came from the other side with his bag on his back, and Finger was inside, carrying a black umbrella in his hand.

His gaze stayed on Marina for a moment, he had to admit that he didn't care about yesterday's events at all, that Marina was beautiful.

And she seems to have put on some light makeup today, and the mature and intellectual temperament on her body is even more prominent.

The place where the wreck came ashore was in the West Harbor of the Charlin District, and Donald read the newspaper, which was said to have been towed back from the sea by two large ships.

The report mentioned that the ship was a merchant ship owned by the Grebe Chamber of Commerce, and it was carrying a lot of goods when it went to sea, and salvage cargo was only part of the reason, after all, the goods belonged to the goods, the ship returned to the ship, and the other part was to find out the problem of the sunken ship.

5 ships!

This figure is the number of merchant ships that have recently sunk at sea by the Grebe Chamber of Commerce.

This is not a small number, it is no longer the era of wooden sailing ships, the lethality of the storm to the steel ships driven by whale oil is extremely limited, and the corresponding cost of ships is no longer comparable to before.

5 ships, inexplicably sunk, once or twice by accident, three or four times then there must be a reason, which is also a great damage to the reputation of the Grebe Chamber of Commerce, no Chamber of Commerce wants to leave such an impression on its partners as a shipwreck professional.

In order to re-establish its name, the Grebe Chamber of Commerce has completely released the news this time, and the momentum has become bigger, and it is bound to reveal what went wrong in front of the public.

Approaching the harbor, Donald saw the ships on the wide square outside the shipyard on the edge of the harbor at first glance, and the sky was a little gloomy, but it did not affect his vision.

The merchant ship was only a medium-sized steel ship, larger than the one Donald had sailed on, but it was limited.

Perhaps because of the long immersion in the sea, there are still some undried sea water dripping down around the ship, and there are still some kelp and other seafood hanging everywhere.

At this time, there were already many reporters and people, and the crowd swam around the boat, most of them concentrated in the middle of the boat, where a small lecture platform was set up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is our honor for you to be here at today's press conference, and we will select a few lucky friends to distribute special gifts prepared by our Grebe Chamber of Commerce during the press conference......

Someone walked up to the podium and began to guide the rhythm of the scene, and it seemed that they should be the host of this press conference.

"Fursent, the current vice director of the Grebe Chamber of Commerce, he is actually presiding over this press conference today, it seems that they attach great importance to this incident. ”

Marlena is an expert in current affairs and is familiar with some of the tasks that often appear on the pages of newspapers.

"It's a pity that I can't check the situation up close now, and I don't know how their process is arranged. ”

Professor Cook didn't care who was on the podium, his eyes were always focused on the broken hollow in the middle of the ship, which was the main direct cause of the sinking of the entire ship, which anyone with no problem with vision could see.

A hole with a diameter of nearly two meters and a concave piece of broken iron means that the damage must be caused by an external impact, otherwise the piece of iron would not have been in this state.

However, judging from the waterline on the side of the ship, the hole should not have been in the sea at the time of the voyage.

This excludes the possibility of pirate shelling, the iron plate of the ship's side that broke through the sea!

"Recently, a lot of people have spread rumors that our Gulber Chamber of Commerce deliberately created a shipwreck to earn insurance premiums, but in fact there was no shipwreck at all...... I think this scene in front of me should be enough to break all the lies, isn't it? We invited a special team of maritime experts to find out the cause of the ship's accident for us on the spot, and I want everyone to understand that we Grebe will never do those indiscriminate things, and the sinking of the ship has absolutely nothing to do with us Grebe!"

The deputy director on the podium was so emotional when he talked about deliberately creating a shipwreck to defraud insurance premiums that he even raised his voice a few degrees.

"Do you know what it means to deliberately cause a shipwreck, to smash your own ship and sink it?"

Donald looked at the angry deputy director on the lecture platform, and his eyes widened, as if he was saying that anyone who dared to mention this matter in front of him would go down and share life and death with others, which made him curious about what the deputy director said.

Because of the crowd and mixture, the three of them were close together, and Donald's side of his head was actually not far from Marina, who saw his face leaning over, so he could only tilt his head back, forcibly not allowing himself to remember yesterday's events,

In order to ensure the safety of the goods, before going to sea, the fleet and the chamber of commerce will sign an insurance contract for the goods, if the ship arrives at shore and the goods are damaged or lost, then the fleet responsible for transportation will pay the corresponding value of money. ”

Keeping herself calm and brushing her thoughts, Marlena continued,

"About half a year ago, the Grebe Chamber of Commerce had a large ship of goods lost due to the sinking of the ship going to sea, for which the fleet fully compensated the price of the goods, according to the terms of the insurance contract, this is a reasonable compensation, but later the fleet did not know where to hear some rumors, saying that the Grebe Chamber of Commerce let them transport the goods are actually some unsalable goods that are ready to be cleared at a big discount, and after the ship goes to sea, they secretly hire a team to intercept at sea, and after seizing the ship, they directly killed all of you on board, and then sank the sea together with the ship...... This incident caused a lot of trouble at the time, but in the end, the person in charge of the fleet failed to produce key evidence, and in the end he was sentenced to full compensation. ”

While Marina explained the compensation incident, the problem detection of the maritime expert team was still ongoing, but these people were arguing around the breach, and some of them were constantly looking through books.

This situation made the reporters on the periphery smell the hot news and began to ask what the ultimate cause of the shipwreck was.

The vice director of the Grebe Chamber of Commerce on the podium was also a little strange at this time, the team of maritime analysis experts he invited had spent a lot of money, and he was expecting them to rehabilitate the Grebe Chamber of Commerce, but after waiting for nearly an hour, the most critical conclusion was still not reached.

"The gifts distributed by the Chamber of Commerce to everyone have been delivered, and the next step is the gift giving session that I promised you......"

The gift that was originally planned to be taken out at the end of the press conference was advanced, but the vice director walked off the stage and found his assistant for the first time and asked,

"What's going on? Didn't they say they could definitely find out the reason in half an hour? It's been an hour, and they haven't figured out what they want to do!"

Some of these reporters were hired for money, and the deputy directors were not worried that they would leave, but the key was the people, who largely represented a wait-and-see attitude towards the Gleb Chamber of Commerce in Dirmingham, and there might be a lot of working chambers and investigators in the consortium who could not come up with a satisfactory conclusion later.

The consequences are unimaginable to the vice directors!

"Vice President, they say ......"

"Don't spit out, just say whatever you want, it's all come to this point, what the hell are you hesitating about, you don't want to do it?"

The deputy director was also anxious, so he grabbed the assistant's shoulder and scolded in a deep voice.

"They said the hole in the boat was caused by the anchor......"

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's just that this conclusion is too unbelievable, and the anchor smashed open the ship's side deck?

"You go and tell them that I'll give them 10 minutes, and if they can't give a reasonable explanation, and treat me as an idiot, okay, if I get punished by the board, they won't be happy, I want them to walk around without eating! The anchor smashed the ship's side deck? They might as well just tell me that a sea monster smashed the ship's armor like a walnut, at least that's still a little credible!"

The vice chairman covered his forehead, he didn't expect that he had spent money to invite a group of people with not very clear minds, now it is not a question of whether he believes it or not, whether the reporter and the public believe it or not This explanation is the real key!

With his back to the crowd, the muscles in his face twitched with anger.

However, it was useless to be angry, and the experts discussed it urgently for ten minutes, and finally came to the conclusion that it was already caused by the anchor, and they even found the anchor trapped in the cabin, but no one could explain why the anchor was in that place.

"Gentlemen, and ladies, according to our final investigation, the cause of the sinking of the ship was the impact of the anchor......"

No matter how reluctant the vice chairman was to come to this conclusion, in the end he had to bite the bullet and explain, and he felt that there was nothing more shameful than saying such an absurd thing in public.

"Phew~"

Amid the disdainful boos of the people, the sky grew cloudy and raindrops fell.

It woke up.
