Chapter 197: Betty (Happy Christmas Eve)
"It's okay, we don't have anything to do, we're here to help you." Zhang Hengdao.
Seth's smile was a little reluctant, and then a woman's voice came from the house, "What's the matter, Seth, are there any guests?" ”
"It's Sean, and ...... Uh, two friends. ”
"Won't you invite them in?"
"I almost forgot," Seth patted his head, "it's messy at home, don't mind." ”
After speaking, he moved the chair outside the house back into the house, and Zhang Heng and the three of them followed him and walked in together.
"Tracy, let's go make some coffee for the guests." Seth said to a plump woman in the room, who should be his wife who had just been married to him for a short time, nodded and walked into the kitchen, and after a while her voice sounded again, "Seth, do you know where the coffee beans that Beth just delivered?" ”
"Oh, I know where I put it, I'll go get it." Seth said as he went up to the second floor.
Half a minute later, the woman named Tracy came out of the kitchen with a plate of mangoes in her hand, "I'm sorry, Seth put away all the kitchen utensils and everything, and now there is only some fruit left in the house." ”
Zhang Heng thanked him after taking the fruit, he chatted with Tracy for a while, the latter was very talkative, basically answered all questions, and was not guarded, after a few words Zhang Heng was almost sure that Seth did not tell her what happened on the Clark ship, she didn't know about last night's incident, she just thought that Tracy was spending the night in the new house.
Zhang Heng and Anne glanced at each other, and they had basically determined that Seth was the person they were looking for, and they would have a showdown with him after he went downstairs.
However, at this time, Sean on the side muttered, "Does it take so long to get a coffee?" ”
Tracy was a little embarrassed, "I'll rush him." ”
With that, she walked to the storage room next to her, and Sean reminded her, "Seth is on the second floor." ”
"Second floor?" Tracy was stunned when she heard this, "But the second floor has just been emptied by us, and there is nothing left there." ”
Zhang Heng rushed up as soon as he heard this, but the second floor was already empty, and one of the rooms was open with a window, Zhang Heng saw Seth on the street below running wildly and turning back to this side through that window, and turned to Anne.
"Split up."
This can't be blamed entirely on his lack of caution, after all, Zhang Heng only planned to talk to Seth this time, and he didn't plan to use any strong means, the latter didn't do anything too much except break into Vincent's residence at night and scare the young ship doctor half to death, and it stands to reason that he didn't have a reason to run away as soon as they met.
But now it's useless to say this kind of thing, Anne has already rushed downstairs, and Zhang Heng also rolled out the window and jumped to the top of another house with an exclamation.
He didn't mean to play Assassin's Creed, mainly because this area is a bit similar to Smoked Fish Alley, which is a famous slum in Nassau, but unlike Smoked Fish Alley, the buildings here are mainly residential, and the layout is disorganized, which is very beneficial to escapees, and Seth has lived here for a long time, compared to Zhang Heng, who has just come here, is more familiar with the terrain.
Zhang Heng can only use this method to occupy a favorable observation position and ensure that he does not lose people, compared to Annie, it is much more convenient, she only needs to follow Zhang Heng on the roof below.
Seth also saw the pursuers behind him at this time, but not only did he not stop but ran faster, and at the same time kept changing directions, using the surrounding terrain to block the sight behind him, but unfortunately he couldn't get rid of the condescending Zhang Heng, and he also seemed more and more impatient.
Zhang Heng is active on the roof, but he doesn't have to face the complex environment on the ground, just choose a straight line to move, this year and a half of life at sea his balance has been exercised very well, although the place where he landed is uneven, but he can always maintain the stability of the center of gravity.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Seth, Zhang Heng estimated in his heart that he would be able to jump from the roof in ten more steps, but he didn't expect that the most critical time was a failure, he just jumped on the roof probably because of disrepair, and suddenly cracked from the middle, Zhang Heng reacted as quickly as possible, and grabbed a wooden beam in the process of falling his body, but the next moment the wooden beam also broke in response.
Seeing Zhang Heng fall into a small building, Saisi's face showed a touch of joy.
But then a figure rushed out of the alley on his left, and the other party kicked Seth in the chest without saying a word, and the latter's body flew up uncontrollably and hit a wooden frame next to him, Seth spite of the pain in his back, and quickly got up from the ground, but he limped and ran less than two steps, and there was an extra saber on his neck.
After a while, Zhang Heng also walked out of the small building next to him with a disgraced face.
He gave two gold coins to the old man who was basking in the sun at the door, and then walked in front of Seth.
"Why run away?"
Seth kept his mouth shut and didn't speak.
"You were the one who infiltrated Vincent's room disguised as a monster last night." Zhang Heng said again.
Seth finally had an expression on his face when he heard this, and began to show a panicked look.
"How did you do that storm we had at sea before, and does it have anything to do with what you found on that Clark ship?" Zhang Heng continued.
This time Seth finally couldn't stay calm anymore, he still had a trace of luck in his heart before, Zhang Heng came to him for something else, after all, he was the only one present at the time of the incident, no one else should have seen it, and after that storm, ordinary people would not be associated with him.
Seth didn't know how Zhang Heng suspected him.
I have to say that after two successful voyages to sea, Zhang Heng's prestige among the crew has indeed reached an astonishing level, Seth hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
"I'm sorry Captain, I'm ...... I didn't find it, she found me. ”
"She?" Anne raised an eyebrow.
"After we parted, a woman's voice rang in my ears, she called herself Betty, and I searched the warehouse but couldn't find the source of this voice."
"Betty?" Zhang Heng is no stranger to this name, this name has appeared countless times in that love poetry collection, before Zhang Heng thought that Betty was the captain's wife or lover, but now the owner of this name is probably not simple.
"Why didn't you tell us about it then?" The red-haired girl asked.
"I thought something was wrong with my own spirit," Seth said, "and the woman named Betty warned me that if I told you about it, I would be thrown on that ship as a madman." ”
