Chapter 14: Confession (2)
The big man was next to him, holding the other half of the jade pendant in his hand and asking, "Which dynasty is this jade pendant from?" The pattern looks pretty good, but it's a pity that it's halved. ”
"It's a jade pendant from the early Ming Dynasty, so you both think this thing is worthless?" Jiao Ba looked at the two of them with an evil smile on his face, he must have made some idea, otherwise he would never have asked like this.
The big man reacted slowly, "Well, it seems that it is worthless, it's a pity"
"Wait a minute, you can't say that, no matter how you say it, these are all antiques, didn't Jiao Ba say it, this is something from the early Ming Dynasty, even if it's not worth much, the size is also called an antique, how much can it be sold for two dollars, you say?" The old boy with steamed buns was more slippery, so he quickly interrupted the big man and pulled the words back.
Jiao Ba raised his eyebrows and smiled, and didn't say much, Chang Shan held the golden ball in his hand, frowned and looked left and right, "This is a golden ball?" I can't see any characteristics, but I always feel that it's not that simple, but the ancients rarely made this kind of golden ball, why? ”
"Show me." Li Xin took it casually and looked at it, and soon she shook her head and said, "It's nothing special, it looks like a gold ball made of ordinary gold, Jiao Ba, what is this thing for?" ”
Jiao Ba pouted and said, "I don't know, if only I knew what to do, I don't have a clue." ”
"And what about this? What is this for? Junzi held the golden key in his hand, looked at Jiao Ba and asked.
"I don't know, it looks like a key, but I don't know what it does." Jiao Ba said very casually, but what he said was the truth, the two of us personally studied for a long time, and we couldn't figure out what these two things were for.
Martin took the golden key from Junko's hand, looked down and said, "You really don't know, do you really don't know, or do you deliberately not tell us?" He was saying this to Jiao Ba, and it seemed that he was a little dissatisfied.
"Do you think everyone is like you? Full of words without a word of truth? I'm telling the truth. Jiao Ba said very politely.
Martin wasn't angry this time, he put down what he was holding and said, "This thing is obviously a key, where did you find it?" ”
"Didn't you just say that? It was found in a shipwreck. Jiao Ba said impatiently.
"Where is the shipwreck? To be specific, the shipwreck is so big, there must be a place, right? Martin asked, looking at him.
Jiao Ba squinted his eyes and stared at him, he must have hated him in his heart, he said very politely, "You don't know where it is, you haven't even seen a sunken ship, even if I tell you, can you understand?" You'd better stay honest and stop talking so much, okay? ”
"You're unreasonable." Martin said an idiom angrily, this kid speaks Chinese really well.
"It's just, there's no sincerity at all, if you want me to say, captain, let's just avoid it, people don't want us to know, what are we doing here, it's really boring." Lao Shui cooperated next to Martin, it seems that everyone is still very clear, and it is difficult to integrate with each other.
Jiao Ba looked at Lao Shui with contempt and said, "You know what? You are a wall-to-wall grass, where the wind blows, where you fall. ”
"You don't sarcastically mock me, you're not a good thing, don't think that you have some ability, it's amazing, to put it bluntly, isn't it just a thief who steals chickens and dogs, it's really funny." Lao Shui tilted his head and said mockingly.
Jiao Ba's eyes were beating, it seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore, he slowly stood up, "Old immortal, it was a mistake to save your life, I really should let you die in that ice city." ”
At this moment, Mai Laomeng slapped the table and yelled, "Shut up for me, Martin, take care of your men, if anyone doesn't want to listen, they can leave here immediately, don't let me say a second word." ”
"Hmph, captain, you've seen it all, now it's almost their ship, it's really angry, you're the captain, you can be angry, I can't stand it, Xiaofeng, let's go." Lao Shui said angrily, pulled up Xiaofeng, got up and was about to leave.
Martin grabbed him by the arm and said, "Sit down for me, don't be so unproductive, we are a cooperative relationship, there is no difference between high and low." ”
He looked calm, but I knew that his heart was about to explode, Mai Lao's performance just now was somewhat biased in favor of Jiao Ba, after all, we are only a group, even if there are any differences, it is an internal contradiction of our own people, and it has nothing to do with Martin and them.
Lao Shui gasped and looked angry, but he never said a word, and Martin said again, "What? Don't even listen to me? ”
"Oh me." The old water sat down again, this person actually has benefits, joy, anger and sorrow are shown on his face, he will not disguise his emotions, on the contrary, he is much stronger than that kind of sinister villain, I admire his character very much.
Mai Lao saw that it was almost over, and then said, "Okay Jiaoba, Martin, they have never seen a shipwreck, but we have all seen it, so these things, where did you find them on the shipwreck, this is very important." ”
My heart is broken, I still haven't bypassed, Mai Lao, this old guy is too scheming, if Jiao Ba says it all, then this matter will not be easy to handle, even if he doesn't mention me, it is difficult for him to explain, what he found from the two coffin female corpses, this alone proves that Jiao Ba is selfish, it depends on how he explains, I don't plan to interject, otherwise it will be easy to mess up.
"Which one are you asking? These things were found in different parts of the shipwreck. Jiao Ba said very calmly.
As soon as he said this, I had some bottom in my heart, this matter would not be so embarrassing, although I knew that I was ashamed to do this, but it was also a white lie, if I didn't make a move with Jiao Ba, these things might fall into someone's hands.
"Then you can say it one by one, starting with this jade pendant." Martin casually threw the jade pendant over.
Jiao Ba stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant and said very calmly, "This jade pendant, also known as the phoenix pendant, is one of the dragon and phoenix pendants, and I found half of them in the Qing Dynasty shipwreck and the Ming Dynasty shipwreck." ”
"Did you find them separately?" Chang Shan asked a little surprised.
"Yes, they were found separately, but... These two halves of jade pendants have one thing in common, all of them are found on the bodies of the two coffin female corpses. Jiao Ba paused, and finally told the truth.
I couldn't sit still, but he looked at me, gave me a quiet look, and told me not to speak, just listen to him, and I had to give up and see how he wanted to explain the origin of these things.
"You mean, on those two female corpses, each has half a piece of this jade pendant?" Li Xin asked.
"That's right, in the hands of each female corpse, there is half a jade pendant, and when put together, this is a complete piece." Jiao Ba crossed Erlang's legs and said leisurely.
"A piece of jade pendant has made such a big move, and it is kept separately, what is the reputation of this jade pendant?" The steamed bun held the jade pendant in his hand and asked incomprehensibly.
Jiao Ba glanced at him and said, "Of course there is a famous hall, but the famous hall is still very big?" Do you want to know? ”
"It's... Nonsense, of course I want to know. "Mantou is a little reluctant.
"Jiao Ba, when did you find it, why I don't have any impression at all." Mai Lao squinted at him, and that look proved that he was a little unhappy.
Jiao Ba sneered, "There's nothing surprising about this, don't forget, I'm a tomb robber, this little thing, for me, it's not a big deal." With a very simple sentence, he covered up the truth of the matter, and presumably no one else would ask any more questions.
"And what about these two golden things?" Mantou hurriedly asked, it seems that the previous page has been turned.
"It was also found separately, one was found in each of the two shipwrecks in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Mai Lao, you should know that the golden key was the first to be discovered by the beard." Jiao Ba said softly.
Mai Lao suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, I remembered, this was found by the bearded man from the mouth of the female corpse, but why did this thing run to you again?" ”
"At that time, you fled, the scene was very chaotic, the female corpse killed almost everyone, and I also took advantage of the chaos to get this thing from the bearded man's body, fortunately I shot quickly, otherwise this thing would have been buried at the bottom of the sea with the beard." Jiao Ba stretched out his hand and gestured, and said with a thief's face.
"So that's the case, then this golden orb, needless to say, must have been found on another female corpse." Mai Lao held the ball in his hand and said in an understanding tone.
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "That's right, you're right, we salvaged the second coffin that day, and I went to open the coffin alone at night, and this thing was found from the mouth of the female corpse that night." ”
After hearing Jiao Ba's words, I was immediately deflated, it's over, this time he confessed to me, it's hard to hide it now, how do I have to explain it? Or is it like him, telling the truth?
"I said Jiaoba, I remember... Was Zhongyi with you that night? We went to look for you on the ship, and Zhongyi was still bleeding, didn't we? Mantou asked uncertainly.
"Yes, yes, yes, there is such a thing, didn't Zhongyi say that you two went to the kitchen to find something to eat? He also said that the corners of his mouth were not bloodstains, what kind of ketchup, what a fool. "The big man looked at me as he spoke, although he was a little flustered, but I found that this kid also has a good memory, and he actually remembers it so clearly.
"That's true, Zhongyi, what the hell is going on?" Mai Lao's gloomy gaze cast on.
