"Don't you think the one who broke into Vincent's house last night wasn't some monster?" After coming out of Billy's quarters, Anne asked.

"At first I did think that something from the ghost ship had come to him, but after going to his quarters, I was more inclined to think so."

Zhang Heng handed over the shell in his hand.

"How?" Anne took it and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't see anything worth noting.

"This shell is from the nearby sea, and it's common on the sands of Nassau."

"Well, I seem to have an impression that you say that, Harry seems to have picked up a bunch of these things, and I probably can't understand his hobbies." Anne said.

"And scales." Zhang Heng also handed over the scales, "This is the scale of the golden barracuda, and it is also one of the fish often caught by fishermen in this area." ”

"Why do you even know about such a thing?" The red-haired teen exclaimed.

"Well, I studied fish for a while, and that's not the point." At the end of the first round of dungeons, Bell had taught Zhang Heng some common edible fish, and after he went back, he also found some information on the Internet, and now he can identify more than 200 kinds of fish.

"But isn't that ship always loitering, and it's not impossible that it will appear nearby."

"You're right." Zhang Heng said, "So I went to check Vincent's yard again, he said that he watered once a week, and the last time Nettie helped him water was five days ago, I asked Nettie, there has been no rain on the island in recent times, and the land in his yard also proves this, but there is one place that is an exception." ”

"Huh?"

"I've been thinking about what Vincent's house has been saying since I saw it, and he said that when I saw that guy it was like it had just been fished out of the water, and his clothes were dripping all the time, but Vincent's house was not close to the shoreline, and if that thing really came from the depths of the sea, even in the middle of the night, it would still have to take a lot of risks all the way from the beach, and the most important thing was that there shouldn't be too much seawater left on it at such a long distance."

"This kind of thing can't be judged by common sense, is it possible that it is cursed and will remain drowning forever, I seem to have heard some stories like this when I was a child." Anne shrugged.

"I've taken into account what you're saying, and if that's the case, the water drips on him should have been dripping at about the same rate, but there's actually a corner of the garden where the soil is very wet, unlike the rest of the place."

"Do you suspect that someone went out there and deliberately got themselves wet, then stapled shells and scales on their bodies, disguised themselves as monsters, and crawled into Vincent's bedroom to find those three notebooks? But why, why did he do it? ”

"If it's the former, I don't know the answer to the question of why he's looking for the notes, or why he's pretending to be like this, but the latter question is clearly because he's worried about his identity being exposed." Zhang Heng said, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, I checked everything I brought back from that ship, and I didn't find anything abnormal, but when I came back, we encountered a storm, and I didn't know what I left behind until now." ”

"What?"

"That box of silverware and rings and necklaces weren't all we brought back."

Anne raised an eyebrow.

"There were seven people on board, including me, and someone had taken something else without telling the others, and it was he who had sneaked into Vincent's room to steal the three notes." Zhang Hengdao.

"That's why you didn't tell this inference at Billy's house before?"

Zhang Heng nodded, "The two of us were together last night, it can be ruled out, the remaining five people are all possible, I don't doubt his loyalty, but that person may not realize how dangerous the thing he is taking, and there is no last person on that Clark ship, it is likely to be related to that thing, fortunately, the scope has been reduced to a small one now, and then we just need to investigate one by one." ”

"Maybe it won't be so much trouble," said Anne, "and I can probably guess who that man is." ”

"Huh?"

"At that time, the ship was basically moving in pairs, and it was not easy to hide something from another person, Seth and I were on the floor below you to check the hold, but then I heard you banging on the door, thinking that something was in danger on your side, so I ran up, and Seth was alone during that time, if anyone could hide something from others, it was only him.

"And later, when I saw him on the deck, he looked a little dazed at that moment, but everyone was not in a very good state at the time, and I didn't think much of it."

"What was he doing when he caught a storm on the way back?" Zhang Heng asked.

"I didn't see him, it was his turn to rest, he wasn't on deck, but I remembered what you said, and when I saw him again at dinner in the evening, I saw that his face was bruised, and I asked him what was the matter, and he told me that he had accidentally fallen."

The red-haired girl said, "Private fights are prohibited on the ship, but I did hear that some people are not very well-behaved, after all, we are a new ship, and people have only recently been recruited, and every time we dock, we will add another batch of people, and some people know each other, and sometimes they have a little grudge before they get on the ship, Seth ...... Seth was one of the first people to get on board, he had just been married, he had redeemed them from the house, and I had heard that they were on good terms, but there was inevitably some gossip among the others. ”

"Do you know where he lives?"

"I don't know, but I know someone who does."

Anne found another pirate named Sean, who worked as a gunner on the Jackdaw, he and Seth had a good relationship, the two had worked together on the same ship before, and they often had fun together on the island, Sean knew where Seth lived, and took the two of them over, but when they got there, they found that the door was piled up with furniture.

Seth poked his head out from behind a wardrobe and saw that the three of them looked a little surprised, especially after seeing Zhang Heng, a look of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, "I'm sorry, I'm preparing to move." ”

Sean was stunned when he heard this, and then said happily, "Yes, I just got married and moved to a new house, but why didn't you call me for help?" ”

"Anyway, there aren't many things, so I won't bother you." Seth said, and then he looked at Zhang Heng and Anne, "It may be a little inconvenient for me to come here today, captain, can you come back tomorrow?" ”
