Elizabeth sneered: "What's so strange about this, Helena and the bodyguard Sober have already had an adulterous affair, the two may have had a dispute over some treasure, or why something had a dispute, and they became angry for a moment and killed each other by mistake." ”

"Missed?" The king was amazed.

"yes, what explanation can be given other than a miss? There's no one else here, just the two of them, didn't they do it themselves, or did the devil do it? Elizabeth gloated.

"Didn't you say Helena had a tryst with that Dr. Moore?"

Elizabeth didn't understand at this moment, why it was clear that the Doctor and Helena had an adulterous affair, but it became her and Sauber at the scene?

And both of them have made swordsmanship? What the hell is going on here?

But that's fine, anyway, her nemesis Helena is dead, what's the point of pursuing who has a tryst with whom, or who killed whom? This is the best outcome.

When she figured it out, everything was relieved.

She smiled at the king and said, "Your Majesty, I also heard rumors about their tryst, maybe something happened temporarily, the doctor didn't come, and the princess called her old friend Sober to make fun." ”

"Well, that makes sense."

The king paced a few steps on the field with his hands behind his back, then turned his head and said: "This kind of love murder case has the greatest smell and bad reputation, it is better not to spread it, it will have too much impact on the prestige of the royal family." No matter who died, it proves that Helena did misbehave, ****, and she deserved it. ”

"So, you see, do you want to investigate again?" Elizabeth asked deliberately.

The king waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, the situation at the scene is clear at a glance, what else to check?" Bury it as soon as possible. ”

"Hey, my sister died a pitiful death."

Elizabeth cheered in her heart, but she still pretended to be overly sad on the surface.

That night, Richard and Narissa climbed into the courtyard from the back wall of the Princess's house, and the two, dressed in night clothes, crept into Rodin's room and knocked on the door.

Rodin was taken aback when he opened the door and saw Richard alive in front of him.

Richard recounted the story of the female ghost saving his life, and he gradually relaxed.

Rodin knew why Richard had come, and quickly infiltrated the storeroom, stole the tin box containing the skull, and gave it to Richard.

"Take it, brother, and get out of Athens as soon as possible, for you are surely wanted in the whole city, and you had better catch the steamer to-morrow morning."

"I see, thank you good brother."

Richard hugged Rodin tightly and waved goodbye reluctantly.

The two of them left Athens on a mail ship the next morning and returned to the port of Mersin in Atlantis.

Unfortunately, when the cruise ship named "Royal Earl" sailed through the Strait of Gibraltar, it encountered a storm.

The season was in time for the hurricane to be raging, the weather was not beautiful, the sea was very stormy, and Richard regretted that they had gone at a bad time, and if they had gone two days late, they would not have encountered this treacherous storm.

But the matter has come to this, and I can only face it head-on.

The storm set off huge waves, and it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, and the ship tossed and fell in the wind and waves, and was thrown to the top of the waves, and then to the bottom, and the huge ship was as small and helpless as a leaf.

Hundreds of passengers on the ship vomited, and Richard and Na Lisa were no exception, all of them were seasick and vomited, almost vomiting all their internal organs.

This horrific and annoying ordeal lasted for two days and two nights, during which time people prayed to God to bless God and open their eyes to stop the wind and waves as soon as possible.

The people were sick and dying in patches, and just as they were desperate, the storm suddenly stopped, the sun broke through the clouds, and the passengers of the ship let out a shout of triumph.

But before people could have hope of life, another natural disaster struck.

They came across the famous "Great Vortex of the Sea".

At this time, the steamer kept heading west, entering the mighty Atlantic Ocean.

At this time, the sea water changes the direction of its flow, forming a violent rushing rapid. The whole sea has been plunged into a riot of a large expanse of overflowing water.

The vast surface of the sea seemed to be cut into a thousand intersecting waterways, and it fell into a frenzied shock, and the water rolled up and made a hissing sound, and countless huge eddies kept adjusting and rotating, rushing to the east, as fast as water pouring down from a steep height.

At this time, a large whirlpool with a diameter of more than half a mile had been formed, with a wide glittering band at the edge, and the inner wall of the whirlpool was a smooth, shiny wall of water, which swung and swung in large circles, emitting a sharp roar like a storm and a terrifying howl......

The passengers on board were in a frenzy and lost their minds.

Even the world's largest warship is like a feather in the wind, drifting helplessly, left to be slaughtered, and immediately swallowed by the maelstrom.

When the tide rises, the current collides with the rocky ridge of the seabed, which is blocked and rushes down like a waterfall, and the more violently the water rises, the greater the force of the downward impact.

After a terrifying roar of thunder, the roar of the sea had turned into a shrill scream, which sounded as sharp as the water vapor being discharged from the drains of thousands of steamboats at the same time.

The ship rose and fell with the waves, the storm still raging against the passengers, and the waves still swelling high like a terrifying black ridge that rose leisurely and high.

The great vortex circled at high speed, soaring and rushing, and the ship kept spinning in circles.

It took two hours for the vortex to subside. The calm night came, and people could finally have a full meal and a good night's sleep.

The next morning, the unexpected happened again.

A pirate ship with shark eyes painted on its hull and a skull flag on its bow intercepts the cruise ship.

A group of pirates with long hair, colorful clothes, and scimitars jumped onto the ship and quickly took over the deck.

The passengers were stunned, and for a moment they were silent, and their whole bodies trembled.

The lead pirate was a bearded man with a cowboy hat on his head, and his face was hideous and murderous.

Hundreds of passengers were driven to the deck, and the pirate leader spoke sharply: "Everyone, this sea area is Lao Tzu's territory, you all let it be clear, today Lao Tzu comes, only rob money, don't die, understand things, hand over all the valuable items and gold and silver jewelry you carry with you!" ”

Another leader also shouted: "Hurry up, don't fucking make trouble, delay, if you want to go back alive to reunite with your wife and children, don't hesitate, you can only choose between life and money!"

"If you don't pay it off, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!" The other leader roared.

The passengers shrunk together, talking to each other and whispering......

The situation is deadlocked, and the passengers are still hesitating......

At this moment, a man who looked like a wealthy merchant stepped out of the crowd, placed a jewel box at the leader's feet, took off the gold necklace around his neck, and handed it to the pirate. Turned and walked back into the crowd.

The little pirate immediately took the gold necklace and turned around and respectfully handed it to the leader.

The leader's face turned pale, and he just nodded. The little pirate understood, and put the necklace around his neck.

The herd effect took place, and the passengers followed suit, and they all took out their treasures and put them at the feet of the pirates.

Soon, a hill of jewelry was piled up.

Richard and Na Lisa, who were hiding in the crowd, were discussing with their eyes......

Then a little pirate came running and shouted, "Master, I have found a treasure." With that, he handed over the box containing the crystal skull.

The leader took the box and opened it to see that it was a crystal skull. He examined the skull carefully, looked up and asked sharply, "Whose skull is this?" ”

He asked three times, and Richard found that he couldn't hide, so he had to stand up and answer, "This is mine." ”

The leader stared at Richard and asked, "Yours, what are you doing?" What is it? ”

"My name is Richard, and I'm traveling to Greece, and this is a craft I bought at the flea market, but it's just a crystal skull used for fortune telling."

"Oh, fortune teller?" The leader looked at the other pirates, and they all nodded.

One of the small leaders said, "I've seen shamans use this trick to tell divination, and it's really smart. ”

A sly glint flashed in the leader's eyes, and he asked, "Do you want to take it back, then it depends on your sincerity?" ”

Richard said: "I'm a tourist, not a businessman, I can't take out too much money to honor your old man, I only have 3,000 yuan on me, all of which will be given to you, as long as you return my skull." As he spoke, Richard took out three thousand dollars and handed it to the chief.

The leader took the money and tilted his head in thought, still hesitating.

Narissa stepped forward, knelt down and said earnestly, "Have mercy and return our skulls, and I have two thousand dollars here to honor you." This is our job. ”

The leader waved his hand in disgust, and the little pirate handed the skull box to Nalisa.

With a whistle, the pirates brought a few sacks, filled all the gold and silver jewelry on the ground, and then all jumped over the opposite pirate ship and left.

When the passengers saw that the pirates had gone, people could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and some of them collapsed on the deck.

Three days later, the steamer arrived at the port of Mersin.

For Richard, this trip to Greece, although it went through many difficulties and difficulties, but on the whole, it was still very fruitful, not only stolen the skull, but also unexpectedly obtained a military plan, grasped the military movements of the Greeks in advance, and successfully completed the task.

Richard drove his sports car from the dock garage and drove Lisa back to the Military Intelligence Agency.
