Chapter 171: Trap
"It seems to be the key to some kind of mechanism. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Liu Minghao frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully, in the previous mummy world, he had seen similar images in the documents collected by the museum director, and many important items in the royal family would be stored in containers with special mechanisms, and such a ball was the only key to open this mechanism.
Ye Xue nodded, "You're right, without this thing, Xie Kun wouldn't be able to get the treasure map at all, which is even more powerful for us, even if we don't go to him, he will reappear and find a way to seize the key." Sir Wells is a very difficult person, he can't see the treasure map, and he will never trade with Xie Kun. ”
In other words, they didn't need to rush to find Xie Kun's whereabouts, they could set traps in advance to find a way to control Xie Kun after the ship docked, and get the map back from his hands.
This small accident made them stay longer than originally planned, and soon the crew on patrol would appear, Liu Minghao and Ye Xue re-covered the coffin, sorted out the scattered wooden planks, covered the canvas that originally covered them, and quickly left the cargo hold and returned to the deck.
At this time, there were less than two hours before dawn, and the two discussed the next action, Ye Xue returned to the first class cabin, and tried to return the cross without alarming the priest, while Liu Minghao returned to the lower class cabin, rested temporarily, and waited for the dawn to act according to the plan.
After a night of silence, the sky soon brightened, and the bright morning sun illuminated the restaurant through the open windows. After eating breakfast, Yexue got up and left her seat and walked towards the terrace on the right side of the restaurant.
Nodding slightly to the waiter who opened the door for her, she strolled to the deck, looking left and right, as if looking for someone.
The waiter standing by the door looked at Yexue quietly, his eyes flashing, and when Yexue looked back, he withdrew his gaze and acted as if nothing had happened.
As if noticing anything unusual, Yexue took a few steps along the deck, where a low-ranking crew member had just stepped onto the deck.
"Sir." Ye Xue glanced around and greeted the crew.
The crew was slightly stunned, grabbed the hat in his hand, and walked in front of Yexue with some restraint, standing five steps away from her, and bowing slightly.
"I wonder if there's a grocery store called Bells & Liquor in Queenston's harbor?" Yexue asked when the ship would dock, and then inquired.
"Yes, dear young lady." The crew member smiled and nodded happily, "That shop is more than ten years old, there are a lot of strange things, old Locke is a very cunning guy, if you want to go, be careful not to be deceived by him." ”
Yexue seemed to be very interested, and asked for some information about the grocery store, and whispered, "I heard that he has special spices from the East, and I want to buy some when I dock, I don't know if there is enough time?" ”
"Of course." The crew nodded affirmatively, "The shop is next to the dock on the west side of the port, you can find a carriage, anyone can find that place, it only takes ten minutes to get there, and the ship will stay in Queenstown for two hours, enough for you to choose slowly." ”
After getting the information she wanted, Yexue generously threw a gold coin to the crew as a tip, and the crew showed a surprised expression and bowed slightly to Yexue, Yexue turned around and walked back to the cabin with a thoughtful expression on her face.
The glass door slowly closed behind him, and the waiter standing by the door watched Ye Xue's footsteps hurriedly walk out of the restaurant, his expression kept changing, and after a while, he also left the restaurant in a hurry.
He didn't notice that the night snow that had left had gone and returned, and appeared in a corner of the cabin, and the crew didn't go far, and the two of them looked at his back and quickly disappeared from sight, and looked at each other from a distance, and then they turned around and left.
Liu Minghao quietly followed behind the waiter, watched him go straight into the second-class cabin, and stopped in order to avoid startling the snake.
This waiter is Du Qing among the three people Liu Minghao saw at the bottom of the mountain before.
Before this, Ye Xue had already pretended to inadvertently reveal his identity in front of Du Qing, and the scene just now was a play he and Ye Xue co-stared at, the purpose of which was to lead the three of them off the boat.
Now he and Ye Xue's plan is to take the opportunity of this docking to try to solve the four of them in one fell swoop, and Ye Xue will be responsible for solving Du Qing and the three, and he will be responsible for containing Xie Kun, and wait until Ye Xue will come to meet him and take back the map, now the preparations that should be made have been completed, and the boat can only dock, if the three of them get off the boat according to their plan, they can act according to the plan.
In a compartment in second class.
Du Qing walked quickly outside the cabin and knocked on the door panel three times according to a certain rhythm, and soon the door was opened from the inside, and he immediately flashed in.
On the sofa in the room, Dong Heng was sitting, Ye Song followed behind Du Qing, walked to the wine cabinet on the side, and handed a glass of wine to Du Qing.
Du Qing took the wine glass and drank it all, raised his hand to pull off the bow tie around his neck, let out a long breath, and sat down on the sofa on the side.
"How? What did you find? Ye Song leaned on the wine cabinet and looked at Du Qing inquiringly.
Dong Heng also leaned forward slightly, since the three of them got on the boat, they had not waited for Xie Kun to appear, quite a feeling that a mouse had caught a cat and had nowhere to start, and he had no clue how to proceed with the task.
Last night, Du Qing suddenly found the two of them, saying that they had confirmed the identity of Ye Xue, and they seemed to have finally caught a clue, at least they could find a direction, so the two of them were waiting for Du Qing here early in the morning.
Du Qing briefly said what he heard, Ye Song frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, "You mean she plans to get off the ship in Queenstown?" ”
Du Qing nodded, "I think this may be what side quest she triggered, listening to her is obviously a very important thing." ”
Ye Song put down the wine glass in his hand and walked back and forth a few times in place, if he remembered correctly, in the world of the Titanic, someone once triggered the side quest, and the reward he got was the cross medal for opening the Chosen Mission.
The importance of this thing is self-evident, if they can get the Cross, they will get great benefits, especially Ye Song knows that several high-level teams have been secretly offering a high price for the Cross, if he can get his hands on it, he can immediately implement the plan to get out of Feng Hai's control.
Dong Heng obviously thought of the same question, his eyes widened, he subconsciously looked at Ye Song's face, and couldn't help blurting out, "Could it be that she triggered that task?" ”
