Chapter 263, Jiao Ba Logic (2)
I remembered, before this, it seems that when we were looking for firewood, Mai Lao jokingly asked me if I wanted to go to the top of the mountain to see, and I vetoed it at that time, and now it seems that this is not a casual question.
"Hearing you say that, it seems to be really premeditated."
I said a word, and the scene at that time was playing in my mind, what kind of medicine was sold in Mai Lao's gourd? What did he think about again?
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "This is just the beginning, and then we ran all the way to the top of the mountain, from the top of the mountain to the cave, and then after you fell off the cliff, we were all separated in the middle, and when we met again, we would have escaped the lair of the spirit rhino." ”
"You later said that you and Jenny found two dungeons, and also found two portraits, but lost one halfway, and then Jenny was attacked by someone, and the painting in his hand was also lost, you said that you suspected that the man in black did it, because the person described by Jenny is very similar to the man in black, but you don't know, Shunzi and I have not been with Mai Lao all the way, he has always acted alone."
"We only met in Lingxi's lair, where Mai Lao has been and what he has done during this time, none of us knows, but combined with what happened to you and Jenny in the underground palace, his suspicions are very great, because the time difference between before and after is just right, if he knows here, in the current situation, he will have enough time to find you."
When Jiao Ba said this, his two eyes flashed with light, and it was the kind of fiery eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.
I pondered carefully, if Mai Lao really didn't stay with them all the way, then there was really this possibility, this old guy was unfathomable, and no one knew how capable he was.
"Even if he was alone at the time, it can't be ruled out that people are really separated, Mai Lao has saved me several times, and I would have died without him." Things can't just look at one side, this is just Jiao Ba's analysis according to the facts, where Mai Lao has been, only he knows.
"Save you? Hehe, that may be the need for you, if he really has some ulterior motives behind him, he can't do it alone, he needs us, so he has to save you, understand? ”
"And one last thing, when we arrived at the gate of the main tomb, didn't you say that we met the mysterious old man? The man in black in the middle was also killed, and Mai Lao and Shunzi were also ambushed, Mai Lao and Shunzi were together at that time, but why was only Shunzi knocked unconscious, and he was only injured? Don't you think it's weird? ”
Jiao Ba's eyes became more and more weird, this is the kind of eyes I have never seen before, his voice has changed, and he has a thief sound, very thief.
"Yes, I felt like something was wrong, but I just can't remember, according to what you mean... Is it very likely that Shunzi was knocked out by Mai Lao? "I can only understand Jiao Ba's thoughts like this.
Jiao Ba threw away the shaking of his hand and said, "Well, it is very likely, nine times out of ten, he did it, the two of them were together at the time, if he was the man in black, he would have to knock Shunzi unconscious before he could appear, and when the man in black appeared for the second time, the time difference was just enough, do you say all this is a coincidence?" How can there be so many coincidences in this world. ”
I sorted out my thoughts and said, "Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, it's been twice in a row, it can't be a coincidence, or... Shall I find a time to find out what Mr. Mai said? ”
Jiao Ba glanced at me and said with contempt, "What are you probing, do you think that old guy can be tricked out by you?" He can fool the past by saying a few nonsense words, and if we do this, it will be a startling of the grass, and it will be easy for Mai Lao to target the two of us. ”
"That's right, although Mai Lao is the most suspicious, but we don't have enough evidence after all, we have to wait for him to show his feet one after another." I squinted, and it seemed that I would have to be more wary of him in the future.
"Actually, even if there is evidence, I won't question him, when he is excited, it is easy to kill you and me, let alone solve all these mysteries when the time comes, even his life will be lost." Jiao Baxie said with a smile, it seems that he is very afraid of Mai Lao.
"And what are you going to do?" I asked, turning my head.
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "Wait and see what happens, to win all changes with no change, what you and I need to do is to follow his footsteps and see what secrets are hidden behind this, he is not a good person." ”
I recalled, "I remember that when the old Taoist priest died, he said something in my ear, he told me to be careful of a person next to me, but at the critical moment, he actually died, and I don't know who this person he was talking about." ”
"Just like you told me, the old man said that this island is not something that ordinary people can find, and since we can land on the island, we must need someone to lead us, so who will this person be?" As he finished speaking, a pair of thief eyes looked at me.
"Yes, Mai Lao." I really can't think of anyone else but him.
"It is very likely that so many suspicions appear on him, and these suspicions are not easy to find, this is deliberately hiding himself, now it is just a lack of strong evidence, but then again, even if it is really not him, he can't get out of the relationship, in our group of people, almost everyone has their own secrets, but it depends on whether the secret is good or bad." Jiao Ba spoke, looking up at the sky.
I turned to lean against the railing behind me, took a deep breath, and said, "If Mai Lao is the cat-eyed man in black, but who is the ninja in black?" The fact that this man never showed up on the island was really surprising to me. ”
Jiao Ba looked at me and said, "I can't think of this person, during the time I went to the island, I have been paying attention to everyone, hoping to find some clues, but unfortunately, except for Chang Shan and Mai Lao, everyone else is normal, even Li Xin is the same, and he behaves very normally." ”
"Chang Shan is really strange, when we were adrift at sea, I asked him, but unfortunately I didn't ask anything, you suspected that he was also a tomb robber, but that night, he denied it, he said he knew the tomb robber, but he was not." I scratched my head, feeling a little headache, this time except for Mai Lao, who was suspicious, everyone else's performance was average.
"A wizard, perhaps."
Jiao Ba's words surprised me again, "What did you say?" Is Tsuneyama a wizard? Is this possible? ”
"Nothing is impossible, wizards are not only in ancient times, but also in modern times, in fact, I also found that he has some differences with me, in addition, I can't think of anything else, now it depends on whether he is good or bad, if it is good, it is very powerful for us, on the contrary, if it is bad, then the road behind us will be even more difficult." Jiao Ba frowned, looking a little overwhelmed.
"Is it possible that he is the Hermit in Black?" I asked casually.
Jiao Ba glanced at me and said, "How do I know this, I didn't see the man in black at that time, only you saw it with your own eyes, you can't see it, let alone me, but this person can't be hidden for a long time, and he will have to show up soon." ”
"How do you know? Are you so sure? "But sometimes I admire him, the last time he said that the man in black could show up at night, and he did.
"As long as we keep going, he'll definitely show up again." Jiao Ba clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said.
I nodded, didn't say anything, Jiao Ba put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Brother Yi, haven't you noticed, this matter was originally very small, but now it has become bigger and bigger, and more and more things are involved, and Zheng He's mausoleum has been turned out, it seems that the ultimate secret of this nautical chart is really extraordinary." ”
