"We'll be waiting for you in the restaurant."
Jobbuterrand said to Robert II, the little security guard.Jobuterrand turned away, but Sif was still in his fantasy world."
Hey, Sif and gone?"
Jobron said softly."
Oh, okay.I just got distracted, sorry. ”Sif blushed and replied shyly."
Have you figured out what you're going to eat?"
Jobuterrand tried to make the conversation more natural by talking about homely topics, and judging by Schif's reaction, Jobuterrand could guess what was going on in the little girl's head with his ass."
AhhMaybe eating a cereal porridge is a good choice. ”Sif replied."
Then let's go.I need a cup of black coffee right now to relax my tired brain. ”Jobuterron said mischievously."
I think you're amazing, and it's surprising and pleasing to watch your reasoning like a magician's performance.If I hadn't known that you were a fairly professional archaeology student, I would have thought you were a professional detective. ”Sif said with emotion."
Ha, you know, life is not easy, archaeology can't make me money, but being a private investigator can.The last case was paid 200 gold marks, enough for me to live on for a month. ”Jobbuterrand said half-truthfully.The two walked and chatted, and the restaurant was already open at this time.There are many guests dining in the restaurant, and the atmosphere in the early morning is completely different from that in the evening, which is quiet and elegant in the evening, but more lively during the day.Long tables on the left and right sides of the restaurant are filled with buffet drinks, cereals and some fruit.The two casually found a small square table to sit down, and Jobuterrand took a cup of black coffee and called the waiter to order.From the perspective of others, this strangely dressed man and woman look like an intimate couple.The two chatted for a while, and the little security guard Robert went to the door of the restaurant and looked around.Seeing this, Chew Buterrand raised his hand to the little security guard, who happily walked over to Jobland's table and found a chair to sit down."
Mr.
Detective, I'll take you to the letter as soon as I'm done with breakfast."
Little security guard Robert said."
Take your time, don't rush, we have a lot of time."
Jobuterron smiled slightly."
If you can, can Mr.
Detective teach me a few self-defense techniques or something, the legend of the mermaid always scares me."
The little security guard said slurred as he took a big bite on the ham and cheese sandwich he had been thinking about."
Oh?
Why should you be afraid?
”Jobuterron asked.The little security guard made a mysterious look, and sneakily leaned over Jobron's ear, "I seemed to see a female ghost in white roaming the deck last night. ”"Oh?
What time is it?
”Jobbuterrand asked curiously."
I didn't pay attention to the time, but it wasn't long after you looked for me."
Robert II, the little security guard, replied.Jobuterron understood who the little security guard Robert was talking about after thinking about it, he glanced at the culprit who caused this little misunderstanding, Sif , and then patted the little security guard on the shoulder."
Don't think too much about it, the so-called legend, after all, is just a legend.I'll do my best to get to the bottom of it. ”Jobuterron comforted.The area next to the water tank on the right side of the ———— deck was hastily fenced off with several railings.First mate Aldrich used the ship's microphone system to summon a few trusted henchmen in the early morning.Aldrich was shocked when he mentioned the death of the captain and the security captain to his summoned subordinates, but Gary Sr. stood next to Aldrich and persuaded them to calm down and deal with the problem at hand.There are a total of five insiders present at the scene, who are responsible for different positions under the deployment of the chief officer."
Hey.Aldrich, do you really believe that detective's nonsense?
”The interrogator was a middle-aged man smoking a rough corn pipe, with a long scar on his face, who looked fierce and vicious, not like a master to be messed with.The man was the second mate of the Cookropes, a golden-washed pirate known as Paul."
I can't help but believe it, this man can see through me at a glance, and I believe that there is no one on this ship who can hide any secrets under his eyes."
Aldrich sighed, then replied.After seeing Jobbutron's skills, Aldrich admired this detective in a bathrobe from the bottom of his heart.Although Jobbuterrand appeared in a very casual state in front of people, it was precisely this state that made Aldrich think that he was able to handle the matter with ease.On the other hand, Audric didn't have anyone else to rely on at this time.The former Captain had died in his living room, and for the first time, Aldrich felt that his abilities were far from enough to support the ship's girders."
Tsk, I'd like to see how much skill you said the great detective has.However, there is indeed something about the man who can see this miserable situation and hold back his vomit. ”Second mate Paul nodded towards the location of the water tank and said."
Paul, how do you think the security captain died?"
Aldrich asked Paul, the second officer, who had experience in fighting."
It's hard to see the specifics of the body like this, but I know for sure.The enemy that the security captain encountered was so strong that he was killed before he could call for help, or even killed with an unexpected blow. ”Paul replied with emotion."
You know, I can only have a draw with the captain at most when I'm empty-handed, if it's an ordinary person, even a sneak attack can't help him.""
Hey, a few of us know about this, let's clean it up quickly.According to Mr.
Detective, it will cause panic if it is revealed. ”Aldridge said with a sad face."
The treatment is that it can be treated, and the water can be fished out and discharged into the sea, but what about the fresh water supply?"
Paul said as he touched the stubble on his face."
Around?
Going to a nearby town for a temporary resupply?
”Aldridge suggested."
It doesn't matter if you do it normally, but suddenly landing at the shore will cause dissatisfaction among passengers, right?
Are you going to lie to hide it?

In order to make up for a lie, you need to make up for it with more lies, and in the end the truth will be exposed. ”Paul took a puff of his cigarette and shook the ash from his pipe."
Oh, damn it, I shouldn't have bought a corn hopper for a bargain and burned it out again."
After a while, Jobron changed his clothes and came to the outside of the cordoned off area at the water tank.After breakfast, he used rhetoric to temporarily trick the little security guard Robert into a letter of recommendation, and found the housekeeping department to obtain a spare key.The housekeeping department did not embarrass Jobland, after all, Jobrentrand's status at this time was more special and he could get some preferential treatment.He changed into a striking outfit, a pure black leather coat, a pure white shirt, a pair of khaki twill pants, a pair of polished calfskin shoes, and a leather bag in his hand.Jobuterron asked Sif to go back and rest for a while, the delicate little girl didn't have much energy after a long night's work.Tubtrand waved his hand at Aldrich, who was standing on top of the tank, and stood there waiting for Aldrich to come and greet him."
Mr.
Detective, you're here."
Aldrich greeted Jobtrand and climbed down the escalator."
Is there anything you want to do with me?
I remember you saying that the priority should be to dispose of the tank. ”Aldrich asked."
I've gone back to get some gear, I need to go to the captain's quarters again, are you going to accompany me?"
Or give the key to old Gary and let him stay with me. ”Jobuterrand replied."
Old Gary is cleaning up in the tank, I'll go with you."
Aldrich said."
Hey, you're the detective?
It doesn't look good. ”At this time, the second officer, Paul, looked Jobbutran up and down.Jobuterron sensed that the second mate had a different aura from the others, an aura that was like a battle on the battlefield."
I think you're the second mate.A pirate?
It's kind of interesting. ”Jobuterron reached out and straightened his hair, which had been tossed by the sea breeze, and responded to the provocation from the second mate, Paul, in a mocking tone.Paul's face changed, and the man actually saw who he used to be in a single sentence."
How do you know?
Did you survey our crew before you got on board?
”"I don't have to, Mr.
Pirate from the Mediterranean.From your scars and small movements, I know that you were once loyal to the Skeleton Rose Pirates. ”"Tell me, how do you know?""
I've heard of the departure ceremony of the Skull Rose Pirates, the heart-washing ceremony.Seeing that your shoulders are slightly tilted to the left, it must be the scars left by the heart washing ceremony, right?
The scar on his face was not deep, less than a centimeter, but it was from the forehead to the chin, and I think only the mad ship doctor of Skull Rose could do this, except for some academic surgeons who could do this.Is it hard to guess who you are?
”Jobuterrand replied confidently."
Then how do you explain the problem that you know that I am the second mate?""
The only one who dared to interrupt Aldridge was the second mate.Such a simple logic can be understood by three-year-old children.Rather than having time to play around with me, it is better to clean this tank as soon as possible, and there is a lot of aftermath work to be done. ”Jobuterron said with a wave of his hand."
Let's go, First Officer Aldrich."
The two of them walked in the direction of the captain's room without looking back, leaving the second mate standing on the tank in shock."
Second mate, don't mess with that big detective, he's terrible."
Old Gary teased the second officer, Paul, who looked incredulous on the tank, as he scooped up the wreckage in the water."
Mr.
Detective, I don't know if you've been paid by someone I sent?"
Aldrich asked sincerely."
Well, I got it, I took two marks, and the rest was sent back."
Jobuterrand replied nonchalantly."
Huh?
What's so embarrassing about that?
”"It's just a formality, and I enjoy the process of solving the case more.""
Click-click."
Aldrich unscrewed the locked captain's cabin with the key, and Jobron entered the door and headed straight for the work area.He placed the small leather bag in his hand on the long table and motioned for Aldrich to lock the door.Jobuterron took a magnifying glass from his small purse and pulled a few from the piles of papers on the long table."
Aldrich, come and see which ones are in the captain's handwriting and which ones are yours, and I'm sure you should be able to tell the difference.""
The captain's handwriting is more delicate, after all, he has a formal education, and my handwriting is more rough and haphazard, you see that those square words are written by the security captain, and the second mate Paul's handwriting is very sloppy.The handwriting in these documents is legible. ”Aldrich dotted on several papers, pointing out the differences in the handwriting of the four.Jobuterrand took out his magnifying glass and looked closely.In fact, his mind was comparing the handwriting on those desk papers with the words on the letter of recommendation from the little security guard Robert.He has made a breakthrough discovery, but now is not the right time to unravel the truth.While Jobtrand was rejoicing, Aldrich unconsciously glanced at the corpse of the captain in the living room.Before the last time he left, Aldrich had laid the captain's body flat instead of the kneeling position.Aldrich remembered this very well, but at this time, with the help of the sunlight streaming in through the window, he noticed that the captain's body had changed positions.The captain's body was again placed in the shape of a kneeling painting, and even his neck was still on a rope."
Mr.
Detective, what do you think...Will the corpse move on its own?
”Aldrich asked with a trembling voice."
Normally not possible, unless...Jobrunt replied without hesitation, and Jobputran felt that he was fortunate to be quick to react, otherwise he would have revealed some secrets that should not be told."

But the body of the captain he...The posture is wrong. ”Aldrich said, pointing to the captain's corpse in the living room.When Chew Buttrand heard this, he suddenly turned around, and found that the captain's body seemed to have been moved, and even the painting that Chew Buttrand had taken down was re-hung up, obviously this was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose.Jobbuterrand walked to the door of the living room and found a note on the bed, which was pressed right under the captain's knee and exposed a corner, on which was written in crooked words, "There is a reflection of reality on the mountain, and the truth of reality is hidden in the reflection, but only the mad can understand it."
At the bottom of the abyss there is a city of the deep sea, and the king of the deep sea lives in the city, but only the stars can wake up.Praise Him, support Him, be Him, and only then can we be eternal. ”The words of the note seemed to Aldrich to be a limerick written by a child, but Giobuterrand was annoyed by it.The content involved is so complex that it is difficult to digest at the moment.Although it was written in German, it became clear to Jobuterrand in his mind that this passage should be read in the ancient L'Areille language, a sacrificial scripture.
