"This is indeed a noble and respectable act, Mr. Docent, you are such a good storyteller, a great legend, thank you for enriching my knowledge. Lao Wang patted the narrator on the shoulder, stabilized the buddy with high national sentiment first, and then pretended to sigh: "However, I still think it's a pity, this round-bellied merchant ship that witnessed a great miracle has been dismantled at that time, if you can see her with your own eyes, how nice it would be!"

The narrator chimed in: "Indeed, it is a pity that this ship has not been preserved. Then he shifted the conversation and said, "Still, if you want to see some of her in style, I mean, you can still do it by visiting some of the ship's components and nautical gear." ”

"Do you mean that Captain Willem Barents disassembled some of the components of the round-bellied merchant ship and brought it with the cargo in the lifeboat? Why did he do this?"

It is this meaning, and I personally believe that it is also a manifestation of the spirit of the contract, and the captain has done his best to bring back all the client's property that he can bring back, so as to ensure that the client's interests are maximized. The narrator praised again.

"So, can you please take us for a visit?" The atmosphere came naturally, and Lao Wang naturally asked this ultimate goal.

The narrator touched his chin, and the expression on his face was a little complicated: "You know, because the components of this ship are so precious, they are rarely displayed as exhibits in the public area, but... Well, I see that you are so interested in the history of Dutch seafaring, I can make an exception and take you to the exhibit warehouse..."

Lao Wang has been mixed in the vegetable market for so many years, how can this kind of low-level extraneous voice be difficult for him, the few people who wear official skins who manage the market, every time they want benefits and can't say it clearly, they are all this virtue, he is simply not too familiar.

Lao Wang thanked the commentator, stepped forward again and shook his hand, thanking him for not abiding by the stereotypes for the sake of cultural dissemination, and at the same time quietly stuffed 500 euros in the palm of the guy's palm, the merchant country, pay attention to the spirit of the contract is one thing, greedy for money and profit is also the ingredient in the bones, so, Lao Wang's money opened the way again successfully, the docent took a pleasant step, leading Lao Wang and Zhuzhong to bypass the sign of tourists stopping, and walked to the work area of the museum, his monthly salary is not much, Lao Wang has shot twice, the number is enough for him to be happy。

"Miss Mary, we have confirmed the specific ship, the components of this ship are not on display, we are going to the ship's component warehouse to take a look, please continue to find all the information about Captain Willem Barents in the library, our side is searching for the ship's components at the same time, if we find it, we will complete the task immediately, keep in touch, please be careful. Takenaka walked behind Lao Wang and the narrator, and informed Mary of the latest developments, and not surprisingly, the solution of their second clue was about to be completed.

"No problem, you should also pay attention to the fact that the museum is relatively strict for the protection of non-exhibited collections, and if you really find the mission item, think carefully about how to touch it. Mary replied.

"Got it, thank you Miss Mary. Takenaka ended the conversation, and then looked around, Lao Wang and the narrator had stopped, and they had arrived at the place.

The Dutch Maritime Museum's exhibit warehouse, where all the collections that are not on display for various reasons are placed in a centralized manner, and the exhibition hall is partially lit and equipped with obvious signs, and the bright style of the exhibition hall is dimmed, and there are rows of storage shelves of the same shape, all the collections are packed in transparent organic plastic boxes and placed on them, if there is no special guide party, it may not be so easy to find what you want in the same storage shelves.

The narrator said hello to the guard of the warehouse, and wiped his right hand on the other party's trouser pocket very covertly, thinking that he had done the same thing as Lao Wang just now.

The guard nodded, returned to his duty room and did not appear again, which was equivalent to completely handing over the huge exhibition warehouse to the three people, and the narrator made a gesture, motioned to Lao Wang and Zhuzhong to speak in a low voice, and then led them around and around to the front of a row of side storage shelves and whispered: "Sir, this is what you want to know, the round-bellied Dutch merchant ship commanded by Captain William Barents back then, and the rest of her things are here." ”

Lao Wang and Takenaka are the physique of the selectors, and the dim lighting does not affect their observation of the items on display, and when they see that the target items are in front of them, the two immediately begin to inspect.

The narrator stood beside him, and seeing that the two of them did not speak, he stared at the remnants of the round-bellied merchant ship almost greedily, and said that this was a real maritime history enthusiast, and reminded him in a low voice: "Sir, I need to explain to you that you and your son can't stay here for too long, so please speed up your appreciation." ”

Lao Wang didn't have time to answer him, just turned his head and smiled, and then continued to inspect the pile of artifacts in front of him, but he soon discovered a problem.

"Uncle, have you noticed? All the ship components here, most of them are sail cables and steering wheels, and then there are the boxes of cargo that have been preserved until now, that is, there is no deck-type plate armor part, just now we also saw the dismantled decks of other ships outside, and in terms of appearance, no similar components were found. Before Lao Wang's could ask, Takenaka threw the question out of the team channel, exactly the same as Wang Mancang thought.

"I noticed, I was about to ask, could it be that the red-haired devil captain really burned all the decks for warmth, how could that space give us a hint to touch the deck?"

"Hey!" Mary chimed in, "and ask if the docent has it, all the information about Captain William Barents in my library is just legends, and there is a record of his merchant ship hoisting in the port of Amsterdam at that time, but it is mainly a list of hoisted goods, which should be of little use." ”

According to Mary's opinion, Lao Wang asked according to Mary's opinion: "Mr. Commentator, I would like to ask, in the legendary story you just mentioned, is there any remaining part of the deck that the captain used to burn for heating?"

"Deck? No, decks are usually hard to preserve, let alone the decks of this ship, which were once burned for heating, and I'm sure not a single piece of wood that belongs to the deck remains. The narrator said with an affirmative face.

When Lao Wang heard this, his brows tightened, and in order for Mary to keep up with the progress, he repeated the narrator's words in the team channel.

"The clue is broken, if the deck doesn't exist, what do we touch?" said Mary a little anxiously in the team channel, now that the exploration time limit has passed halfway, and the connection is broken at this time, and Mary can't complain about being anxious.

"Mary, don't be anxious, I think our analysis is in the right direction, these clues have been explained by us, and they are combined in the most reasonable way, and I don't think there will be such a situation where the general direction of analysis is wrong. Lao Wang calmed Mary's emotions and said.

"What is wrong with that, could it be that the deck is some kind of metaphorical statement, that is, the type of round-bellied merchant ship described as 'narrow-headed and big-bellied carriage' in the clue?"

"I don't think so, the deck here's directivity is too clear, and if you connect the clues of the upper and lower sentences, you can know that it must be a noun that clearly points to, and it is definitely not a metaphor. Takenaka denied, his voice full of puzzlement.

"Mary, you don't have anything else over there except the legend and the shipping manifest?" asked Lao Wang, the expression on his face continued to be solemn, and the commentator who watched it looked puzzled.

"That's all, all the libraries in Amsterdam are networked, and I've looked up the contents of other libraries, and they're all similar. Mary replied, her voice sounding very serious.

"The manifest is definitely useless, is there anything in the legend that we haven't noticed?" said Lao Wang as if he was asking, and as if talking to himself.

"Wait a minute, uncle, what did you just say?" Takenaka, who had been using his brain, suddenly spoke, as if his thinking had come to a conclusion.

"Ahh

"Not that, the previous one. The little guy said eagerly, but he still controlled it very well, and did not ask directly in the real world in front of the narrator.

"The previous sentence? I said that the manifest designation is useless. Lao Wang replied truthfully.

"This gentleman, you and your son have been watching for a long time, aren't they..."The narrator interjected a sentence at this time, as if he felt that the old Wang and the two should have seen enough, and now the father and son are standing like stakes, and they don't even say much, which makes people feel a little empty, so they have to remind the two of them.

It's one thing to earn 1,000 euros, but if there is any loss to the collection because of this money, it is an event that he can't afford to pay for his life.

Takenaka was about to explain further, how could this knotty old king allow the narrator to interject, and immediately reached out to his pocket again, and this time he directly took out a pile of euros, at least three or four thousand yuan.

He grabbed the commentator's hand, stuffed the money indiscriminately, and said, "Mr. commentator, you see, have you seen anyone else besides us for the foreigners who are so fond of your country's age of sailing? ”

I don't know if it's Lao Wang's "love for history" or what the reason is, the narrator didn't say much, and nodded firmly that for people like Lao Wang who are really interested in history, the observation time can be appropriately extended.

"Bamboo, pretending to look at the appearance of the components, analyzed what it did and continued to explain. Lao Wang shook hands with the narrator to express his gratitude, and said in the team channel at the same time.

"Uncle, Miss Mary, the direction of thinking about the deck just now is wrong, because the direction of the third sentence is too clear, and we have determined that the specific type of ship is a round-bellied Dutch merchant ship, so the moment we hear the legendary story, we will naturally think of the deck of Captain Willem Barents that has not burned out, which is a common mistake of habitual thinking. Takenaka held his chin and said, looking to be watching the ship's assembly intently.

"What's the matter, is it the same as what Mary said, we really want to go in the wrong direction?" Lao Wang asked with some concern when he heard what Zhuzhong said.

"It's not, we weren't wrong at the beginning, and I'm more sure now that we're looking for a specific ship that we're looking for, and we're just thinking about the 'deck' part and getting into the wrong place. Takenaka explained.

"Takechu kid, please wait a minute, although I don't know much about sailing, how else can I understand the deck?" Mary wondered.

"Miss Mary, first take a look at the loading list in your hand, mainly check the specific shipping content on the manifest, I believe there will be a discovery. "Takenakamichi.

"Wait a minute, let me check. Although Mary didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd in the bamboo, she knew that every word the child had to mean something, so she didn't ask too much, and began to inquire about the loading list in her hand.

"Huh?" Mary looked at it for a while, then suddenly let out a question, and then read softly: "For arming Spanish sailing ships, oak and wood sailors' room floor, about 60 square feet, loading 3 boxes, hoisting in the bottom compartment, taking into account the role of ballast, Takenaka, is this the deck you are talking about?"

"That's it, in fact, from the sail era to the present, the structure of ships is multi-deck, ordinary people have misunderstandings, in fact, not only the most surface is called the deck, if you count, large sail battleships even have 4-6 decks. Takenaka continued Mary's words and explained: "The 'undemolished deck' in the clue refers to the deck that is to be transported out for sale as merchandise, and the undemolished should mean that it has not been touched or moved, and Captain Willem Barents was an honest Dutch merchant who would rather sacrifice his life than dismantle and burn the deck for warmth, only the commodity deck." ”

"Yours is yours, bamboo. Lao Wang said happily.

"You can't let my uncle be the one who provides the key decryption clues every time, otherwise what's the use of me. The little guy joked.

With the goal, all that's left is to touch the problem.

Lao Wang pretended to be unsatisfied and said to the commentator: "Sir, the components of these ships are really shocking, but I still don't understand something, for example, what are the components of those boxes?"

"Those are some of the goods that Captain Wilhelm Barents carried back then, when his crew brought them back, and the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce banned some of them and sealed them as a memento of him, so that they have survived to this day and are in our museum. Although the commentator is greedy for money, his business ability is still very passable, and when he heard Lao Wang's question, he immediately explained eloquently.

"Well, Mr. Commentator, I have a reluctant request, could you show us the contents of the box, and if I could see with my own eyes the cargo that Captain Willem Barents guarded with his life, I would have made the trip. "Old Wang.

"I'm afraid this will not work, sir, this request of yours is too much, these precious relics have already violated the regulations just by looking at them, how can they be opened in such a situation without good archaeological conditions?!" the narrator shook his head again and again, and it seemed that if a few people were not in the warehouse now, he would have shouted loudly.

"I think you have to do us a favor, for some reason, we have to see the contents of the box. "Lao Wang still looks like a history buff with a modest attitude, but in his hand, he is holding a pistol, and the muzzle of the black hole is facing his dear commentator.
