Chapter 98, Murder Weapons
After the big man returned to the cabin, he began to dredge the other sailors who were leaving, Mai Lao glanced at me and asked in a low voice, "You explained the big man?" ”
I quietly said, "Pretty much, at least he's willing to try." ”
"I hope to keep these sailors, we are getting fewer and fewer now, and if we all leave, we won't be able to do the rest of the work." Mai Lao also looked worried.
The big man was talking to them, and a few of us were there to help talk a few words from time to time, and finally talked for more than an hour, and finally made sense of these people, and they agreed to stay for the time being, but there was one request, that is, after the wreck was salvaged, they must be allowed to leave.
Jenny glanced at Mai Lao, and Mai Lao nodded to her, "Okay, I promise you, after this wreck is salvaged, I will send you back." "Jenny was reluctant, but there was no way, and it was good that the sailors could agree to stay for the time being.
The civil strife was settled, and all that remained was to discuss the matter inside the shipwreck, and Mai Lao called everyone to the restaurant to discuss the next step.
It was the old guy who spoke first, "Do you have anything to ask about this survey?" ”
"There must be, there's a lot to ask." I took a drag on my cigarette and said casually.
"I just want to know, what happened in the forbidden land? How did people die in an instant? Li Xin asked with a frown.
Junko then said, "I'd love to know what those treasures are?" How could it suddenly turn into a puff of black smoke? ”
Jiao Ba said with a calm face, "Everything else is easy to say, I just want to know where that thorn foal went, that thing doesn't die for a day, and I don't have peace in my heart." ”
"yes, there are so many weird things about this shipwreck"
"I think too, from the moment we entered the wreck, strange things happened one after another, this shipwreck is really fucking terrifying." Big guy, you and I said it sentence by sentence, and I couldn't hear any number of numbers, but one thing was obvious, everyone's hearts were full of doubts and fears about what happened in this shipwreck, and they wanted to find some answers, including me, of course.
"Everyone, stop arguing, let's start talking step by step." As soon as Mai Lao's voice shouted, everyone else stopped.
He turned his head to look at me, "Zhongyi, you go through the matter from beginning to end, let's all analyze it carefully." ”
I nodded, and began to revisit everything that had happened, "So, let's start with our shipwreck, first of all, that strange big wooden box, which was the first thing I found, then I saw those strange images, and then I found the dark layer underneath the big box, but why is this big box empty?" It stands to reason that it shouldn't be empty inside, could it be that someone took the contents away before? ”
Junko suddenly answered, "That's pretty much how it should be, Brother Yi, didn't you also find the broken arm and oxygen cylinder of a modern diver when you were under the dark layer?" This proves that there are people who have taken the lead before us. ”
"Well, I think so too, someone should have taken the contents away, an ancient shipwreck, there will definitely be no modern equipment, someone must have started before us, but how could they find the shipwreck? Jenny, you're sure there hasn't been a leak in this chart. Mai Lao looked at Jenny, his eyes were very sharp.
Jenny hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, before we went to sea, no one except my family knew about this chart." ”
I sneered and said, "How did that bearded man know in the first place?" Didn't someone leak it out? ”
Jenny said with an ugly face, "I don't know about this, but I really haven't told anyone else." ”
Jiao Ba suddenly sneered and said, "Hehe, don't be foolish, in fact, there is only one thing in that big box, even if someone has been here before, they won't take it away." ”
"Why?" Jiao Ba's words make me not understand, what could it be that people can't take away?
Jiao Ba glanced at me and said with a smile, "It's very simple, Brother Yi, can't you think of it with your head?" The pattern on the box says it all. ”
Pattern? I thought back to the picture on the big wooden box, the weird-looking horse with a thorny head, and it occurred to me, "You mean it's a thorny foal?" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the big guys all turned their puzzled eyes to Jiao Ba, in fact, I am the same, although the box is very large, it definitely can't fit the big black fish, the black fish is more than seven meters long, how is this possible.
Jiao Ba said with a straight face, "That's right, it's the stinging foal, I know you are very suspicious, how can that black fish be so big, how can it be put in a box, right?" ”
"Then you can explain it to us." I looked at Jiao Ba and said.
Jiao Ba cocked Erlang's legs and said unhurriedly, "Actually, this is very easy to explain, this thorn foal should have been made of young horses before it was packed into a box, and after the ship sank to the bottom of the sea, it was released, after these hundreds of years of growth, it can naturally grow to such a big size, and I estimate that this thorn foal was deliberately left by the shipowner, and the purpose was to guard the shipwreck." ”
After listening to Jiao Ba's words, I seemed to understand a little, I glanced at him and said, "Well, what you said seems to make sense, what do you think?" ”
Mai Lao pushed his eyes and said, "Well, I think it's about the same, you continue to be loyal." ”
I continued, "The problem of this big box is solved, and then we see those strange influences, according to what you said before, we are seen by a kind of illusion, which is not ah, it is said that it is an illusion, how did this come about?" "I almost said it was a toxin, but luckily I reacted quickly enough to pull it back.
Jiao Ba touched his forehead and said, "En??" I've also thought about this, let's put this matter aside for the time being, Brother Yi, you continue to talk about it later, let me think about it. Jiao Ba opened it with a word, and it seemed that he didn't want to say more about it.
I said again, "Okay, you think about it, then I'll continue, and the next is to find the dark layer under the wooden box, behind the wooden door under the dark layer, we found a large number of bones, including the broken arm of a modern diver, and the hat worn by the Qing Dynasty people you found, there is one thing I don't understand, there are modern divers can also explain, but how should this Qing Dynasty people explain it?" ”
Shunzi said lightly and heavily, "I don't know if I came to salvage the shipwreck, I remember the first time I found the shipwreck of the Qing Dynasty, Mai Lao said that they may have come to salvage the shipwreck." "Junko's words, let me think of something, this time the harvest of going to the sea should be said a lot, I have to find time to analyze and analyze carefully, I feel that many things can be connected, but I can't say it now, and I can't say it.
I turned my gaze to Mai Lao, the old guy didn't speak, but Jiao Ba suddenly said, "I don't think so, that hat doesn't prove anything, even if the Qing Dynasty wants to dive and salvage, but he won't wear a hat like a hat to go to the sea." ”
"That's not a hat." Mai Lao suddenly said something like this at this time.
"Not a hat? So what do you say it is? Jiao Ba turned his head and looked at him with a smile.
Mai Lao also smiled and said, "I guess this thing should be a weapon used to kill people." ”
