Chapter 577

After breakfast, Bo Fu received a signal, "It's already there? It's surprisingly fast!" The Black Swan has appeared in the Caribbean.

Bo Fu suddenly became interested, went down directly and withdrew from the room, then turned around and walked out of the hotel door, and then walked slowly along the road like an ordinary person, but his figure became faer and faer the more he walked, and disappeared like a wisp of light smoke at the end. When he reappeared, he was dressed as an old 18th-century pirate with his foot on the bow of the ship. From the cold and damp Scottish Highlands to the passionate Caribbean Sea all of a sudden, Bo Fu suddenly felt refreshed, this guy looked like a pirate leader back then, and naturally had a knife and a sword stuck in his waist, but the two flintlock pistols had been replaced by revolvers.........

There is only one person on board the Black Swan now, and all the crew members have been freed. Bo Fu stood alone on the bow of the Black Swan, looked at the gray sails behind him, and shook his head slightly. The rigging on the sails began to move on its own, pulling the sails up, and the ship turned itself into a speedboat with full sails at extraordinary speed, without a steam engine or propeller, but with the help of the Caribbean wind and its own demonic power, it was even faster than the current steam engine ships.

Bo Fu did not change his position, he stood in the bow with one foot on the bow and the other on the deck, his arms folded, and he stood in the bow of the ship with a visionary look. The steering wheel on the aft tower at the back rotated automatically, steering the direction according to the will of Bo Fu. The Black Swan is a very rare and ancient ship in the Caribbean today, and it is either in a museum, dismantled or sunk to the bottom of the sea. But the Black Swan still ran at sea at a high speed of twenty knots - at least in this year. The black sailboat is as if it were flying on the sea. The sea breeze blows on Bo Fu. But it just can't blow away the tricorne hat on his head. There was a ship emitting black smoke in front of it, the tonnage was much larger than that of the Black Swan, and the displacement of more than a thousand tons of the river matched the fat hull that made the rapidly approaching Black Swan look like a child next to an adult. But the speed of this ship was much slower than that of the Black Swan, and the slow guy could only reach a speed of twelve knots at most, and the Black Swan had already narrowed the distance to within a few hundred meters almost instantly.

Bo Fu's eyes saw that the sailors on the ship were at first very curious to look at the old antique like the Black Swan, but as they got closer, they saw the skull flag fluttering on the main mast of the Black Swan, and suddenly showed obvious panic. But the panic was not like that of the sailors of all those years ago. It didn't take long for them to calm down - especially as they raised their binoculars to see the old front-loading guns on the deck of the Black Swan.

Bo Fu didn't want to rob them either—his eyes had already seen the goods in the cabin of these guys, something completely unworthy of robbery...... So the Black Swan approached the ship from the side and rear at a rapid speed, and then passed parallel to its right at high speed, and finally disappeared into a sudden burst of fog ahead. The people on the merchant ship all saw clearly the "pirate ship" passing more than 100 meters from the side of their ship, and those with good eyesight or binoculars also saw the pirate captain on the bow of the ship, and finally saw the ship disappear in the dense fog that suddenly appeared more than a hundred meters in front of their ship—it really disappeared, because the thick fog dissipated after a few minutes, and there was no trace of the pirate ship on the sea after it dissipated. Everyone immediately talked about it - among the sailors who sailed the sea, superstition had always prevailed.......... many people took out their crosses and began to pray, and the literate ones quickly took out small notebooks and began to record. Those who have heard all kinds of legends in the Caribbean since childhood, after talking for a long time, a voice roared excitedly: "Black Swan! It's a Black Swan! Oh my God! It's really a ghost ship! Damn it! My grandma is right!"

Bo Fu finished pretending. So let the Black Swan fly in the Caribbean Sea hidden in the thick fog he summoned, and returned to the captain's quarters that he had not entered for more than a hundred years. The captain's room has a spell to expand the space, and the inside naturally forms a small space of three floors, and when you enter from the gate of the aft building, it is on the second floor, where is the living room and guest room, the kitchen and lounge, the study and the observation deck, and the area together is about a hundred square meters, which happens to be a square. The room was furnished with cozy couches and long-haired Persian carpets, devoid of the slightest moisture, and dry as if at sea. The spiral pavilion on one side of the study leads to the third floor, where the area is only sixty square meters, which is the bedroom of Bo Fu and a small living room and bathroom, there is also a viewing platform, and the huge floor-to-ceiling door in the bedroom leads to this viewing platform, and a large bed and the same long-haired Persian carpet on the floor make this room more similar to the suite of a luxury hotel on the ground. On the second floor, next to the galley, there is a spiral staircase leading to the third floor below deck. The third floor is very exaggerated, and with the support of spatial magic, it has become a huge museum at all - although there is only one floor, this floor is more than a hundred meters long and more than a hundred meters wide, and the ceiling of this place is illuminated by luxurious chandeliers, and the glass skylights on both sides of the ceiling also bring sunlight into this museum - by the way, the ceiling height here is also more than fifteen meters.......... There are glass cabinets in this place, and there are all kinds of strange artifacts in the cabinets, rare specimens of sea creatures, coins and jewels, and what is especially amazing is that the sea creatures in them are all alive - they are living in the cabinet as if they are living in the ocean, and the cabinet is filled with seawater at all......... Elsewhere, there are huge artifacts and specimens of sea monsters hanging or stocking - these specimens are completely dead, and even in most of the space there are bone specimens of Bo Fu's favorite sea monsters, as well as fossils and exotic ores collected from the ocean floor. The museum also has a door that leads to the trophies and sailors' resting cabins below the deck of the Black Swan, but this door is locked most of the time.

Now Bo Fu was sitting in the museum, at a large desk and rocking chair near the back, with a large bottle of ancient rum in his hand as usual, and in front of him was the technique of water mirrors. It shows a lanky man talking to a young man in a police uniform in front of him in a room.

"I think I can already give you an answer, Deputy Sergeant. Please do as I say, and the murderer will automatically appear in front of us .......... an interesting coincidence, or rather a genius idea.........," Holmes said with his hands crossed.

Nothing happened next, and Holmes and Watson didn't go anywhere that day. Watson was studying a medical book while Holmes spread out a thick local chronicle in front of him, examining what was written with a magnifying glass—an ancient, heavy book that was almost entirely handwritten in floral script......... When it was getting dark, Holmes finally sighed contentedly and closed the heavy notepad, "Watson, it's time for us to go." The deputy sheriff at the door was already waiting with a few policemen, and Holmes led them in one direction. (To be continued......)
