Mystery , The Murderer and the Dangerous Alliance 2
Old Qiao, who had just been released, was indeed interrogated and questioned again, and the content of the conversation was unknown to others.
But since then, the martial law situation inside the military port has obviously become more tense, and all personnel must submit a personal whereabouts investigation report - the Admiralty may have received some additional information.
Charles was so impressed by this companion beside him who looked like a playboy.
In fact, William's so-called processing only changed one place: date. Old Qiao's letter that had not been sent yet had time to sign the date, William imitated his handwriting and added the latest time.
"We have taken Regulus away. The Admiralty Department can't search it in his room." William and Charles sat side by side in the shadow of a ship in a remote corner of the port, playing with stone pieces to drift water. He analyzed patiently, "Then they will definitely tend to be taken away by Old Joe before, so they will be summoned."
"But Old Joe didn't take it." The stone slabs thrown by Charles happily jumped out of five ripples on the sea. He tried to follow the idea given by William: "The Admiralty either doesn't believe it; if it believes, there will be someone else taking it away-then we have to find us?!"
William raised his hand, and the stone pieces that flew out jumped farther and farther away, far ahead. He pretended to be profound and grasped the tone: "No. Old Joe would not admit that Regulus was at all. He didn't even want to tell the East India Company... He wanted to monopolize it!"
Charles's face indeed showed an expected expression, and William was quite proud.
"That……"
"Whether the Admiralty believes it or not, the murderer thinks it was taken by Lao Qiao - we all heard that day. He is a man in the military port, and there must be a way to see Lao Qiao's intercepted letter. He will be more convinced that Regulus is in Lao Qiao's hands." William said briskly, part of his hair on his head was shining with sunlight, and it was bright and bright. "Where is Lao Qiao - someone died inexplicably in the room, and Regulus who got it did not fly. At this critical moment, someone helped to send such a letter. Who is the most suspicious? The murderer!"
"Let the murderer go to find Lao Qiao, and Lao Qiao goes to find the murderer!"
"When I was a child, I thought of a way to skip classes, and I always used this trick to deal with my dad and tutors. It was very useful."
Charles threw away the stone in his hand, grabbed William's shoulder and shook it hard. "You are such a genius!"
But the genius had not yet been able to understand the mystery of Arthur's puzzle poem. William was discouraged when he thought of this. He completely lost the interest in playing, patted his pants and stood up, and shook the small stones on his body into the water. "I have to find a way to go to the old town. The sailing plan to the East may be delayed due to the murder, or it may not... I must figure out the difficult problems Arthur had given me before leaving."
Charles said with a frown: "Don't talk about us, even officers have to go through strict inspection procedures when entering and leaving the military port. This time we are trapped ourselves."
“——This is not simple yet?”
William put his hands in his pockets, smiling so harmlessly that people and animals were all over the world. Against the warm summer sun, he was like an angel coming to the world.
He stepped forward and approached Charles, reaching out to push him gently.
The incident of Charles Norman being possessed soon spread in the military academy. It is said that he not only had fever, murmurs, talk nonsense, but also had his ability to swim by the demon.
The rumor was quickly confirmed - he was afraid of water, which was incredible for a naval alternate sergeant. The only witness, William Thomas, vividly told people about the entire process of Charles jumping into the sea to resist the invasion of the demon. The sea water is full of salt, and salt is an important material for exorcising evil spirits. It can be seen that the demons are indeed housed in his body.
The doctors stationed in Hong Kong at the Naval School were helpless, so they could only turn to the pastors of the church.
A murder case just occurred in the military port. The deacons rushed forward and didn't have time to deal with the poor Charles. But something happened to the Norman family's child, and the impact was not good after being exposed. Fortunately, the young man in the dormitory opposite him was kind-hearted and took good care of Charles throughout the whole process. The officers were happy to entrust the matter to him.
"It's all arranged, and take a carriage to the old town tomorrow morning." William came back from outside, took off his coat and shook off the fine raindrops on his hair. Even in summer, it was still cold. In addition, Plymouth is located on the beachfront, and it's even more dangerous to get the wind. He entered the house and stamped his feet: "There are also a doctor and a lieutenant officer accompanying him. You have to find a way to hold them back then."
Charles wrapped his whole body in a wool blanket and sneezes hard. "I need to act like this? You are too unkind. You know I'm afraid of water, but you still sneeze!"
"You must make sure you pretend to be more serious." William shrugged indifferently and smiled, "It can be considered as avenging you to stand by and watch Old Joe beat me up with one arrow."
Master Thomas's smile made Charles creepy. He almost jumped out of the bed in anger: "So you are so revenge!"
"Isn't this just a cover for you?" William looked innocent, "You don't have to hide anything you can't swim."
"I can - learn - Ah Yeh!!"
"Come on."
"Is there anything wrong with Lao Qiao?"
"He was forbidden from leaving the military port and was now out of his way." William said. "I guess he was almost thinking about it, and someone was deliberately pointing his finger at him."
"For justice, I hope he will not knock our heads out after he knows the truth." Charles prayed sincerely.
"I hope he will never know the truth." William prayed.
