Chapter 57, Vague Clues
After a few of us sat down again, I deliberately glanced at Li Xin, Li Xin was also looking at me, his eyes were full of hostility, Jiao Ba opened his mouth and asked this time, "Jenny, how did you get rescued, the bearded man's men?" ”
Jenny said, "Their people are gone, and after you go to the shipwreck with the bearded man, we wait for your news on the fishing boat, but then there is no news from you, and the bearded man and the others say that the shipwreck is gone, and then the rest of them go back to their own fishing boat and leave, it's as simple as that." ”
"What do you say? They sailed away? "I'm wondering, but there's no one on that boat? I deliberately glanced at Mai Lao and Jiao Ba, and their faces also showed disbelief.
"Jenny, are you sure they left in their own fishing boat?" Mai Lao asked again.
"Well, I'm sure of this, because the bearded fishing boat was parked next to our fishing boat, and after they boarded the boat, they left quickly, and Li Xin and other sailors also saw it." Jenny glanced at Li Xin.
Li Xin nodded and said, "That's true, they left quickly, and some of them said that this place is too evil, so they have to leave quickly, and the rest of them will run away." ”
Jiao Ba smoked a cigarette and asked, "Jenny, do you know whose fishing boat we drove over?" ”
"Seems right, the fishing boat is bearded." Jenny suddenly realized.
"Well, it's a bearded fishing boat, but when we got on the boat, there was no one on board, so where did all his men go?" I looked at Jenny and asked, I always felt that this matter was a bit hanging, was Jenny lying, or was there something hidden in this?
According to Jenny, the bearded men had already left by boat, and there was no reason why they all suddenly disappeared en masse. I couldn't figure out what I was left with an empty boat to roam the sea, and my first feeling was that what Jenny said was a lie.
But no, there's no reason for her to do that? And Li Xin also admitted that they did leave by themselves, plus the fishing boat we drove over, they should also be able to think, how could they say such a flawed thing?
"Jenny, when did that bearded man leave?" Jiao Ba asked seriously.
Jenny thought for a moment and said, "It's probably a few hours after you left, and I can't remember the specific time, Li Xin, do you remember?" ”
"I don't remember exactly, it should have been a few hours later, but I know that someone said that the wreck was gone, so they left quickly." Li Xin said coldly.
"Mai Lao, what do you say is going on? Why was there no one on the bearded boat, according to them, they should have left by boat, how could they have left an empty boat? Jiao Ba looked at Mai Lao and asked.
"Jenny, Li Xin, what you two said is the truth?" Mai Lao did not answer Jiao Ba's words, but asked them a rhetorical question.
"Mai Lao, I don't know about others, you've known us for so long, is it necessary for me and Li Xin to lie to you?" Jenny was a little angry, and her tone was quite heavy, but listening to her words, they had known each other for a long time, and that Li Xin was the same, but I always felt that the problem was one of them, but I couldn't think of anything specific.
Mai Lao nodded and said, "That's right, Jiao Ba, I don't understand this matter, do you think they are in any danger?" Or was it attacked by something? ”
"There are no signs of a fight on the ship, and there is no serious damage, it doesn't look like it has been attacked at all, besides, even if they are attacked, they can't all disappear, leaving no traces, right?" Jiao Ba still asked very skeptically.
Junko suddenly said at this time, "Could that be caused by man?" ”
He reminded me that if someone killed them, threw them overboard, and destroyed all traces of the ship, it was not impossible, but who would do that? What is his purpose in doing this? I don't understand this, things get more complicated.
A few of us looked at each other, and Jiao Ba said again, "I think what Junko said makes sense, maybe it's really artificial, if someone wants to kill people, it's not impossible." As he finished speaking, his eyes swept around.
Jenny said a little angrily, "Jiao Ba, do you doubt me when you say this?" ”
Jiao Ba shook his head and said, "Jenny, don't get me wrong, I'm not suspicious of you, I'm just saying what I thought, this thing is indeed a bit strange, we were adrift at sea all night, and we found the bearded fishing boat, but there was no one on board, combined with what you said, do you say this thing is strange?" ”
Jenny snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, what I said is the truth, they did sail away, how can I know why they all disappeared collectively." ”
Jiao Ba and I glanced at each other, and he continued, "This thing is indeed quite strange, but I am sure that it is definitely not an accident, the most likely thing is that it is a man-made murder, Mai Lao, what do you think?" ”
Jiao Ba threw the question to the old man again, and Mai Lao pushed his glasses and said, "It's not impossible, Jenny, after they leave, are there any fewer people on our ship?" ”
This old guy's idea is quite professional, as long as it is found out who left the fishing boat during this time period, or no one can be found, then this person is likely to be the manipulator behind the scenes, but what I want to know more is whether the bearded group of people has any connection with the man in black.
Jenny shook her head and said, "No, I haven't seen anyone leave, who can follow a fishing boat in the sea in this vast sea." ”
After she said this, a crucial question suddenly occurred to me, "Jenny, how did that bearded man know about nautical charts?" I don't think you told him, right? ”
"What are you kidding, how could I possibly tell him such an important thing, I don't know him at all." Jenny said with an angry look on her face.
"You don't know him? So why does he know you? And also know about nautical charts, and, when did you first see a beard? Jiao Ba asked what I wanted to ask again.
Jenny said very seriously, "I really don't know him, and I don't know how he knows about the chart, I remember the first time I met him, it was also in Seaside City, it was the day after I first arrived in Seaside City, I met him downstairs in the hotel where I stayed, he seemed to be waiting for me at the time, after seeing me, he asked me about the chart, and also said that as long as I offered, he would pay as much as he wanted, I was also very surprised, I didn't know anyone at all in Seaside City." ”
"Who introduced the traitor named Gangzi?" I squinted my eyes and asked, as long as I found out who introduced me, then the matter would soon come to light.
"He came with other sailors, not someone who introduced him." Jenny vetoed it in one bite.
"Then where did these sailors come from, don't tell me they were caught on the street, they must have been introduced, right?" Jiao Ba asked beside him.
Jenny glanced at Li Xin and Mai Lao and said, "I don't know much about this, I was looking for several companies at that time, and these sailors were all introduced by the company." ”
I thought about it for a while, and I always felt that there was some important clue missing, but I couldn't remember what had fallen.
