38. Where the only clue is
After a day's sailing, the outlet to the sea has appeared at the end of sight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs a port at the mouth of the sea, there are many farmers selling a variety of vegetables and fruits, in addition to the large number of seafood sold by merchants and fishermen.
After all, if you only eat foods such as jerky and ignore the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits, you can easily become ill. Therefore, the most popular food here is not the dried fish and meat cans, but the vegetables and fruits that are drenched in water and want to be eaten immediately.
I don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky, this is the last "anchorage" before the designer is about to go to sea, after which there is an endless sea, even if the ship is anchored, all you can see around is the blue color. Naturally, those bright colors may not be seen again in a short time.
Therefore, in order to prepare vegetables and fruits for a few more days, most of the sailors this time stepped off the ship to purchase them under Jean's orders, and the ships would stay by the harbor during the daytime from sunrise in the morning until sunset in the evening. Naturally, guests can also take a stroll and experience the customs of the port city.
Originally, Beidou could also be so rare to "enjoy", but this good time was completely shattered because of the tragic case that happened last night.
"Miss Charlie, Miss Mariana, you don't have to come along. ”
Walking in high spirits at the front was Jean's old butler Ethel, who should not have appeared on such a noisy street, and he did not run down to be lazy, but to settle the poor tailor who had cut off all the fingers of his hands last night and completely ruined his dream life.
Unlike the spirited Ethel, the step-by-step tailor seemed much sadder, and from time to time he would look back at the moored cruise ship after him, and then glance sadly at his hands wrapped in layers of white bandages.
He didn't bring anything with him...... There's actually no need to bring anything with you. Maybe it's really like what Jean said at the time, everyone in this era has a scale in their hearts, as long as the money chips are enough, no matter what kind of dream will be tilted towards compromise. Therefore, the tailor did not do anything drastic, nor did he shout to make public what had happened last night, and he could no longer have his "dream", and he had already received enough money for himself to compromise.
After all...... The future life is also more important than the truth.
"It's okay, I was the first to find out, so I should have come with me. ”
Beidou shook his head, he told Yiden in detail about the wounding case that happened last night after Iden woke up, and the first thing the goddess who had become an "ordinary person" did after listening to it was to ask Beidou if he wanted to figure out "why".
Why do prisoners hurt people, why do prisoners hide so cleverly, or ...... Why are you so upset?
However, no matter what kind of reason, as long as it does not affect the purpose of this trip, Beidou is still willing to try. At the very least, it can give a little solace to the poor tailor who will never have the chance to realize his dreams.
After this, Eden proposed to follow in the footsteps of Ethel, who was about to settle the tailor, after this......
"We're just coming to take a look. ”
After waking up, Eden had recovered a lot, and at the moment she was looking around with some curiosity, "Isn't that okay?"
"No, of course there is no problem, it's really bothering the two of you, I can do this alone. ”
Ethel sighed, then stopped at the end of the street. Away from the bazaar, the crowds have become much sparser, except for a few horse-drawn carriages waiting for guests parked in the shade of the trees on the roadside, and idle coachmen sitting by the carriages with their hats on their hats and napping.
After calling a carriage, Ethel, who had returned to the tailor's side, bowed his head respectfully towards the somber tailor.
"Sir, I'm sorry that something like this has happened, and that's the only way we can do it. ”
The ......" The tailor who was silent shook his head with a whimper that almost burst out of tears, after looking at his hands, which could no longer be called "hands".
"This carriage will take you back to your hometown, and the cheque that the head of the family has entrusted me with has been forwarded to you, with enough money to make you and your family prosperous. Hiring a servant, or running a storefront, is more than enough for these things. If you have any other needs, please ask us directly, and we will try our best to meet your requirements. ”
“...... Thank you. ”
After squeezing these words out of his teeth, the ashen tailor finally resigned himself to his fate, and dragged his heavy steps into the carriage. Whether it was him, or Ethel, or Beidou and Iden, their faces looked heavy, and the only thing that was still so cheerful was the coachman, who had no idea what was going on. After a loud whip on the horse's buttocks, the aching horse dragged the wagon away.
The tailor who had lost his fingers was sent home, and he would never stay on the ship again because of the suspicion caused by those hands, and Jean was determined to find the murderer, and there would be more sailors patrolling at night. If the prisoner wasn't a vicious bastard, I'm afraid he would have restrained himself.
It's barely a happy ending, and it does on the face of it. But just as Yiden's question about Beidou was, the question of "why should you pay so much attention to this matter" has been lingering in Beidou's mind.
It was indeed a very bad incident, and the cunning prisoner very skillfully continued to mingle with everyone on board, aiming at the tailor's hands that amounted to their lives, and "disappearing" neatly after doing all of them, all of which made the whole thing look a little strange.
However, no matter how suspicious the incident is, there must be some clues, so that in order not to cause panic among the passengers, the captain cleaned the scene of the crime at that time, and locked the door with a lock, and the poor tailor who was alone did not seem to have come together, and had no friends. Then, the only place where clues can be obtained is the victims themselves.
Therefore...... If the tailor had really returned to his hometown in a carriage, then the origin of the wounding case would have been completely impossible to talk about.
Therefore...... Have to......
Gotta catch up with him and ask for something, and...... Although it was just an inexplicable premonition, Beidou didn't want him to discuss it with Eden, and the next action was known to Ethel, the old butler.
Of course, it must be meaningless to use an ordinary excuse for this bright-eyed, seemingly simple-looking old butler, who can only take advantage of the advantage of numbers and the fact that the other party is now defenseless, and make a surprise move.
"Miss, it's hard to get out, let's go around here and go back, okay?"
"Well, that's okay, I have some things I want to buy. With just one look, Eden understood what Beidou meant, and then covered his chest, "a little tired" and breathed a long sigh of relief.
If it is an old butler like Ethel, who is "not simple", he will definitely ...... here
"Miss Charlie, you look a little tired, and Miss Mariana looks sweating a lot. ”
The old butler bowed as he spoke, though he was a little sorry, but ...... It's only a bait for you.
"Why don't you let me accompany you and play the role of a bag?"
