Chapter 11: Old Man! Geezer!
Early the next morning, Lei Chan and Milo appeared at the docks. The wharf is one of the most important sources of funding for Beaver Town, with many fishing and shipping vessels moving in and out of the area, creating a thriving scene.
Lei Chan said to the bearded Milo who was standing on the side with a dark face, "Are you sure that guy is really in this place?" It's not like a place for an old man! ”
Yes, the two of them are looking for an old man.
According to the information left by Ray-Ban, it was mentioned that in a conversation with the ordinary fisherman, the fisherman mentioned that after the incident, there was an old man who threw many strange things on the beach on the docks. But he was chased away by a nearby worker, and when he left, he still asked the worker to scatter the contents of the backpack into the sea, but the worker threw the backpack into the trash.
The first reaction of Lei Chan and Milo, who knew the news, was exactly the same as that of Ray Ban at the time, and they both thought that this old man had something to do with the ghost ship incident. However, the other three exorcists of the Brotherhood in charge of the incident did not care, and instead began to investigate the only fishing boat that had returned, because the fishing boat also found the breath of the wraith.
Until Ray-Ban set off, the time was too short to find the strange old man in the fisherman's mouth, and the only clue left was that the old man lived near the docks.
...
"Find it! Thunder! I'll take care of the dock workers, well... You're in charge of the people in the neighborhood! All right? Milo's eyesight was not too bad, and he could see that Lei Chan had a black face, so he gave himself the workers who always had a stinky face.
Fortunately, Lei Chan is also a trustworthy person, although he is reluctant in his heart, he still decides to help Milo find clues.
...
Just as the two of them split up and began to look for clues, an old Ferrari F40 stopped in this small seaside town, and an old man in a trench coat got off the Ferrari.
He was dressed in a grayish gray trench coat, with a pair of reading glasses with thick soles on his face, and an old-fashioned suitcase in his hand, and his whole body was full of the smell of the past.
The old man lifted his glasses and walked to a drive-in restaurant near the docks, apparently a hungry traveler.
Upon entering the dining room, the old man sat in the corner next to the bar, a small and inconspicuous table. After taking off his hat and placing it on his suitcase, he took a newspaper out of the pocket of his trench coat and began to read it.
The waitress came over with a kettle and a cup, and after pouring a glass of water in front of the old man, she asked, "What do you want?" Mr! ”
The old man lowered the newspaper and, after glancing at the waitress through the top of his reading glasses, reached into his bosom and pulled out a badge made of hardwood, and placed it on the table. Then the old man ignored the waitress and went on reading his newspaper.
The waitress was dissatisfied with the old man's rudeness, and was about to speak, but the owner at the bar stopped her and motioned for her to come over to greet her.
The boss walked up to the small table, glanced at the hardwood badge, and then politely said to the old man, "Sir, come on!" ”
The old man didn't react much, and after holding the hardwood badge in his hand, he said to the boss with a slight smile: "It seems that you have done a good job of secrecy." Then he followed the boss into the back warehouse.
The waitress glanced curiously at the old man who followed the boss into the back, the hardwood badge in the old man's hand to be exact. Although she didn't have much education, she recognized that the badge was a six-pointed star, with a "B" carved in the center!

Towards evening, Lei Chancai and Milo converged.
"How? Have you found the old man's residence? Milo looked at Lei Chan hopefully, but the latter shook his head expressionlessly, indicating that he had found nothing.
Milo was also a little helpless, and it seemed that there was nothing to gain, and the worker who discarded the old man's backpack did not pay attention to what was in the backpack. Milo, who was worried about being deceived, even threw some money to those workers, and the news was the same, and suddenly the investigation of the two was in trouble.
Just when the two of them are at a loss and look confused, there must be an assistant here.
Milo beckoned Lei Chan to return to the motel where he was staying to discuss his next move, but 'Olivia' on Lei Chan's shoulder spoke: "Stupid, you always target the residents and workers in this neighborhood, have you ever thought about how big this town can be?" Since everyone doesn't know the old man, doesn't that mean that the old man is not a resident of the town at all!? ”
Lei Chan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of 'Olivia'! Hurriedly relayed her words to Milo, Milo and Lei Chan's reaction was exactly the same, first stunned, immediately showed joy, and the two soldiers began to wander around this small town in two ways.
Eventually, they ran all over the town, but they never found such a strange old man from outside among the tenants in any of the hotels. Here, I have to mention the word "black under the lamp" again. When the frustrated Lei Chan and Milo returned to the rented motel, because of Milo's questioning, the front desk of the motel actually told the two that there was such an old man from outside who rented the hotel.
And before the two came back, they had already checked out and left!
The so-called fate played a big joke, so you can only go out to chase people in a pair of torn pants!
It's bloody, but that's how cruel it is. The anxious two suddenly rushed out of the door of the motel, and chased after the pickup truck in the direction that the old man had left as told by the front desk.
Because the old man left by bus, it was not difficult to find a trace, you must know that there was only one bus leaving Beaver Town at this point.
The pickup truck roared all the way, and under the driver's drive, it ran wildly, and finally intercepted the bus at the last moment when it was completely dark.
To be reasonable, the combination of Milo, who has a fierce face, and Lei Chan, who looks 'mediocre', really doesn't look like a road robber, but the bus driver who was forcibly stopped still took out a civilian version of Remington from the driver's passenger seat with a vicious face, and said to the two: "Get out!" I don't want to see blood today! ”
Lei Chan was about to explain the identities of the two, but Milo took out the C-class exorcist badge in his breast pocket and showed it to the driver.
God knows what the hell is set up for the exorcist badge to be used as proof of identity, and when the driver saw the badge, he actually put down the Remington.
So when the two of them dragged the old man back to the motel where they stayed, it was already the moontop treetops, but none of them had the heart to eat, but as soon as they returned to the motel, they ran to the room!
No, no, no! Don't get me wrong, this is a PY deal, they just want to solve the mystery of the ghost ship sooner.
But when he Milo pushed open the wooden door of his room, his face changed, because there was already a person sitting inside, an old man with gray hair, wearing reading glasses, reading through the light book in the room, it was a Bible!
