How did I show up at this time?Pure is a clever word.I came here to see the captain. I know that the captain is in this club. He gets very drunk every day. 1. An employee of Xiao Guo, who has a large-scale computer room in the detective agency, heard about it and knew about the relationship between Xiao Guo and me, so he told Xiao Guo, and Xiao Guo made a special phone call and told me. (As for the employee of Xiao Guo's office, how did he appear here? Naturally, there is no need to explain in detail. Otherwise, a story can be told for ten or eight years, and it will not be finished!)

After receiving Xiao Guo's call, I discussed it with Bai Su. We don't know the details, but if a person is drunk every day and swears when he is drunk, then this person's condition is very bad, it is certain It's over.As for the captain's situation, as far as this is concerned, Bai Su and I can certainly understand the reason. Bai Su sighed: The captain is very innocent, since the incident was caused by us, we should try our best to help him. I was still dissatisfied with my actions that day, so I muttered another sentence: The city gate was caught on fire, and the fish in the pond were damaged. This captain, you can say that he is extremely innocent. I will go to see him right away.

Bai Su frowned, didn't make a sound, after a while, he said: No matter what harm he suffers, we will try to make up for it.I didn't say anything more, since the meaning of the two parties has been communicated through language, there is no need to say more. It must be an unpleasant quarrel, which will never happen between me and Bai Su. So, I went to that club. The club is funded by several big shipping companies, and the facilities are quite good. Once you enter, you will feel luxurious and comfortable.So, when I first saw those three people walking out from the inside in a hurry, I was also surprised: Although these three people looked like sailors, they were by no means advanced enough to enter and exit such a club.

At this time, a staff member came over and asked me who I was looking for. At the same time, he also looked at the three people, frowned and asked: How did the three get in? One of the three said angrily: The one who walked in, how did he get in, did he crawl in? When the man opened his mouth, it seemed as if he had just swallowed a catty of gunpowder, but the captain he saw later seemed to have just swallowed an atomic bomb.The staff is very calm: I mean, the club can only be entered by the introduction of the members. The man raised his head: Hasan, old fellow, is he a member? If the navigator had never heard of the name Hassan, it was as impossible as the Communist Party members had never heard of Marx. The staff member was taken aback for a moment before replying: Oh, Mr. Hassan introduced him?Is there an introduction document?

Everyone can say that it was introduced by Hasan, but of course there is no basis for the words, and the staff's request is very reasonable.I waited and watched the man get embarrassed because I figured of course he wouldn't have Hassan's profile. But things are often unexpected. The man reached out his hand from his back pocket and took out a dirty and old leather bag. He opened it, took out a business card with a rubber cover, and handed it to the clerk. I squinted and saw that it was Hassan’s business card. The staff turned the card over and there were a few lines written on the back. To that person, repeatedly said: Come in!please come in!The three can enjoy everything as they please, and Mr. Hassan will pay for it.

I watched from the sidelines, and the captain's shouts and curses sounded like a thunderstorm.As soon as I recognized it was the captain's voice, I yelled in my heart that I was not good, and immediately walked in hastily. I did not continue to pay attention to the attitude of those three people towards the staff, but guessing, it must not be much better, because the voice of that person came from behind me: We will be responsible for our own expenses, don't think we have no money. There were some other words behind, but I didn't hear clearly, because the captain's yelling and cursing were simply earth-shattering, and when I opened the door, the captain was just holding a broken wine bottle to deal with the person who had been scolded bloody by him .

When I saw the situation, I naturally had to take action. At this time, if I didn't tell the captain to be more rational, it would be the captain's accomplice. I jumped forward, kicked the captain's right wrist, kicked the broken bottle, and flew straight up.The captain didn't have the murder weapon in his hand, so it was much easier to deal with it.I walked towards him and called him. The captain turned around, and when he saw me, he made a few strange roars again.As soon as I met his gaze, I froze for a moment, because the light in his eyes was extremely terrifying. He always gave the impression that he was a very stable and gentle gentleman, but at this time, he was still a normal person. people.

I was very sad in my heart, but for a while, I didn't expect his condition to be so serious, so I sighed in my heart in a leisurely manner.Unexpectedly, at this time, the captain had not finished his roar, and his hands were already on my neck, choking me. The force he used was so strong that when he was strangled in the neck, it was like two steel hoops coming straight up. Although the eyes would not turn black, there was still a burst of golden stars. The captain absolutely wanted to strangle me to death. At this moment, he was in such a state of alcoholism, so frantic that he completely lost his reason. What can't he do?This point can be seen from his widened eyes. He thinks that I am also a part of the people who have completely changed his situation. That's why when he saw me, he felt so much resentment.

At this time, the person next to him was also stunned. Of course, I would not allow this situation to last for more than five seconds. I immediately flicked a finger with both hands at the same time, and it happened to hit his elbow. That flick made his hands loose, and then I stretched out my right hand to hold his heart, pushed him forward, and grabbed the wine from a person next to me with my left hand. I handed the wine I snatched to the captain. The captain took the glass very naturally and drank it down. I exerted strength with my right hand again, and he took two steps back and fell into a sofa.

I immediately went in front of him, stared at him, and said in a very sincere tone: "It's nothing, nothing is a big deal!" On the one hand, he made gestures behind his back, indicating to bring wine, because the captain is in such a situation, the way to calm him down as soon as possible is to let him drink more wine, so that the alcohol will make him unconscious! After the captain drank nearly ten glasses of wine, his head turned to one side, he moaned loudly, and waved his hands, but he didn't even have the ability to speak! At this time, the man (also a senior seaman) who was attacked by the captain was still standing, startled and angry, waving his hands meaninglessly, trying to say something, but was too angry to speak.

I pointed to the captain and said to him: You have seen his situation, I hope you don't care about an alcoholic. The man sighed, with an air of admitting he was unlucky, wiped the blood and wine from his face, and walked away. A few crew members walked in, looking terrified, not knowing what to do, I asked: Is there a doctor? A person interjected at the door: In such a situation, gods are useless, let alone doctors! I followed the sound and saw that the three people I met just now were at the door. It may be that the noise attracted them to watch the excitement. That sentence was said by one of them. The person who had been beaten and scolded at this moment finally took a sigh of relief, pointed at those three people, and was very dissatisfied: You guys leave quickly!It is because I have expressed a little interest in what you have said that this unfortunate thing happened! At this time, I didn't know the whole story, and I didn't want to study it, because for an alcoholic patient, any small accident can turn into a catastrophe beyond control.I was just thinking about where to send the captain to give him a thorough treatment.The first candidate I considered was naturally Dr. Yuan Zhenxia. Dr. Yuan Zhenxia is actually not a good doctor. He has too many chores, but he has one advantage. Like the captain, due to the heavy psychological burden, he becomes alcoholic and becomes an alcoholic. It is difficult and complicated. Dr. Yuan Zhenxia's ability to deal with difficult and miscellaneous diseases is even higher than that of ordinary doctors. Just as I was thinking this way, I suddenly heard a voice yelling: God, you are Wesley, I recognize you, you are Wesley! I couldn't help frowning, no one likes to be pointed at and yelled like this.I looked at the man who was very excited and almost dancing with unfriendly eyes. He was one of the three people. Just now at the door, I took out a business card of Hassan, which made the club staff treat him condescendingly. that person. I said coldly: Who is it worth being so happy to recognize?Like opening a gold mine. Everyone could hear that I was mocking him, but the man didn't feel it at all, and he was even more excited. He really danced and shouted: Do you know why I came to this city?I just want to find you, see you, it is better than opening a gold mine! Judging from his expression and movements, he was really happy, and he was unusually happy, which baffled me. Naturally, I couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Zhi Zhi is a person who has been making a living at sea for a long time. He has red hair and originally had a fierce expression, but now he is as happy as a child. I searched quickly in my memory to see if I had seen this man before, but to no avail. At this time, the man had already strode towards me, and without any explanation, he grabbed my right hand with both hands and shook it vigorously. The enthusiasm shown was simply unbearable. I believe many people have encountered this situation!People regard you as an old friend they haven't seen for many years, but in your memory, there is no such person at all. I wanted to have a few polite words with him, but I was anxious to send the captain to the hospital, so I withdrew my hand and said very coldly: I'm sorry, I don't seem to know you! After I pulled my hand away, the man still maintained the posture of holding my hand with both hands, and shouted: I am Maus, Maus.Myrlon! After he called out this name, the enthusiasm on his face continued unabated, as if he hoped that I would jump up and hug him. People look over. As soon as that person called out my name, the people around me made some voices indicating that they knew who I was. Do people also know Maus.Who is Myron! But it's obvious that everyone, like me, has no idea who Maus is! For a while, everyone fell silent. At this time, the atmosphere was quite awkward, and Maos, who had announced his name, was so embarrassed that his red hair almost stood up. He rubbed his hands, still looking at me with very eager eyes: Mr. Wei, you should at least remember the surname Mellon! His voice was sincere and full of hope, which made me feel a little sorry. I thought about it again, but I still didn't have any impression. At this time, laughter was already heard among the bystanders, and someone said: If your surname is Magellan, Mr. Wei must have an impression! Magellan is a famous navigator in history, of course I know.When the man called out, Maos glared at the man with a very angry look. I didn't want to have any more conflicts, so I had to say: Any other hints? After saying this, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Pointing to his hair, Maos said repeatedly: "Red hair, red hair is the special Wei of the Myerlan family!" I tried my best to search in my memory, but I still couldn't find the relationship between the two, so I had to shake my head very sorry to him. At this time, another person jokingly called: Another reminder! Maus gritted his teeth a bit, and he called out: Diving! Without waiting for me to say anything, he said again: My uncle kept the photo he took with you, that's why I recognized you! It seems that if I don't recognize who he is again, he will regard me as a big enemy!But at this moment, I already remembered who he should be! It's not that my memory is bad, it's just that things are quite far apart, some years ago.Secondly, I have never met him at all. What I have known is another Mr. Mellon, who should be his uncle! And based on this alone, when this person called his own name, he hoped that I would recognize who he was. He thought too much of himself and made him feel embarrassed. It was his own fault, no one else! His uncle, Mr. Myerlon, was an excellent diver. A few years ago, Myeron, me and another young man named Moya had a strange and inexplicable experience in the sea. During this experience, I, Wesley, became a lunatic due to the stimulation of extreme panic and lived in a lunatic asylum. If it weren't for a one in ten thousand lucky chance, I'm afraid I would have been in the lunatic asylum forever. And that Myron, who used to be the best diver in the world, had already retired for more than half a year at that time. He was thirty-eight years old at that time, and he was still as strong as a bull, but also because he couldn't stand the terrifying stimulation, his situation was worse than mine. !Put the muzzle of a rifle into your own mouth, then connect the gun with a rope, and shoot yourself! I naturally remember that strange and inexplicable incident, which was recorded in the story of "Shipwreck", and I have a very deep impression on it, but the surname Mellon, after all, has been forgotten, so it is not so easy to remember. At this time, I remembered everything, and I couldn't help but sigh: You were still a young man when Uncle Ling committed suicide! As soon as he heard me say that, Maus knew that I remembered who he was. He looked extremely happy and said hurriedly: At that time, I also started diving, semi-professional, and our whole family loves diving. I sighed again: Yes, Uncle Ling told me that you are descendants of the Nordic Vikings! I sighed again and again, naturally because Maeren was indeed a very good diver, he died young, it is a pity that the horrible sight can drive me crazy, Maerun committed suicide, of course it was not that he was particularly weak for the sake. Maus was very happy to see that I finally remembered his uncle, but his expression immediately became very ghostly. He looked around and lowered his voice: Mr. Wei, there is a very important matter related to um, we are Isn't it possible to find a place to discuss in detail? I frowned, I have always disliked people who acted like ghosts, so I shook my head and pointed at the captain: I am more or less responsible for him becoming like this, I will send him to the hospital! I turned him down, who knew that Maus would take advantage of the opportunity: great, I'll help you take him to the hospital, and we'll talk in detail on the way! He said, before I had a reaction, he waved to the other two: Major and minor, help this gentleman up! The two people who were with him were very obedient, and immediately helped the captain up, one on each side. They were obviously very good at dealing with drunk people. After supporting the captain, they stretched out their hands to slightly support the captain's drooping head A drunk person has absolutely no ability to control himself, and is likely to break his neck bone in the swing of his head! When I saw this situation, it was inconvenient for me to refuse. Anyway, I also needed his help. After we left the club, the staff gave it out respectfully. Naturally, it was because Maos had Hassan's business card. . Most of them are two brothers with very strange names. They were vagrants. They followed Maus since childhood, so they respect Maus very much. The two of them put the captain in the middle and sat in the back. I drove and Maus sat By my side, I said the first sentence: It takes about 20 minutes to drive from here to the hospital. I hope you can finish what you want to say within these 20 minutes. Maus was very grateful: enough!enough! Then, he introduced half and half, and explained why he had Hassan's business card: Hassan likes strange stories, and I have been engaged in diving work all over the world. Strange thing, I have told him many strange things, and he sent me this business card! At this time, I was already driving towards the hospital where Dr. Yuan Zhenxia served, and I kindly reminded him: You only have seventeen minutes! Maus took a deep breath and remained silent for another half a minute. I let him go and didn't rush him. He took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke, but seeing my face disagreed, he went on again. After putting it down, he opened his mouth: Mr. Wei, I don't know what kind of rich man I will become! As soon as I heard such an opening statement, I really wanted to stop immediately and kick him out of the car! I snorted, and said coldly: In order to let you make the most of the ten minutes, I try not to ask questions, let you speak! Most divers have this dream: to find a sunken ship with countless gold, silver and jewels. Although there are such examples, there are only a handful of thousands of divers who are so lucky.Yes, in the vast ocean, over the years, I don’t know how many ships have sunk on the bottom of the sea, and I really don’t know how many gold, silver and jewels are quietly lying on the bottom of the sea, but they will never be discovered. Maos said that at the beginning, and I was naturally not interested, so after finishing those few sentences, I yawned loudly, hoping that Maos would understand the interest and stop going on. But Maus continued as I expected: I found some wrecks and several ships, sunk together.It seems that they sank into the sea together during a naval battle. On one of the ships, there was a very huge iron box, which may contain countless jewels! I didn't even yell, and just drove by myself. Maus swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked as if he had found the big box and became a millionaire.According to my speculation, this ship encountered pirates. During the struggle with the pirates, it was destroyed and sank, and three other pirate ships also sank, so four ships sank together. At this time, I was turning a sharp turn, and there was still no reaction at all. Maus didn't pay attention to my expression. Obviously he thought his story was very moving, and continued: "The ship is a Western ship, and the pirate ships are Chinese-style wooden ships. When I heard this, I became very angry and almost wanted to I used foul language to scold him, although I finally did not swear, but my language must be extremely impolite: why is the Chinese ship a pirate ship?On what basis do you judge the Chinese people? Maus was really taken aback when he saw my stern voice, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for those three Chinese ships. They were also armed with guns, and there were some signs. They were bronze medals. I picked one up and asked someone to identify it." Experts said that the rusty words on the bronze medals indicate that these ships belong to a Chinese pirate organization called the Knife Club.I was stunned for a moment. At this time, the car was stopped before the red light. I was so stunned that I forgot to drive after turning the light, which caused the car behind me to honk loudly. The Small Knife Club, of course, is the Small Knife Club! Before the Little Knife Society made Shanghai their base camp, they had been on the sea for a long time. At that time, it was possible to do some cheap business at sea. If it was a ship of the Little Knife Society, it was worth listening to Because I'm worrying about the Knife Society! (Every reader will definitely say after seeing this: What a coincidence, why did I meet three people out of nowhere, is it related to the story?) (It should be explained that this is not the case. It is because of the development of things later that these people are related to the story, so I narrated the process of meeting them.) (I don't know how many people I meet every day. If it has nothing to do with the story, of course I won't mention it. If it is mentioned, there must be more or less relationship.) (So, even if you meet a person head-on on the road, it is not a coincidence that it is related to the story, but because it is related to him, he will appear in the story.) Maos said, and said: I have many photos related to the four sunken ships, but unfortunately I didn't bring them with me. I started to get interested, so I asked: That organization is called the Small Knife Association, and they did have contacts with Westerners. In Shanghai, they even fought against Western troops who supported the Qing government! Maus looked very surprised: Really?The sunken ship was not a warship, but a transport ship, but it was somewhat armed. I didn't express any special opinions, mainly because I don't want to discuss this issue.At that time, many Western merchant ships trading in the East, such as those belonging to the East India Company, were not only armed, but even had cannons. The hospital was almost here, so I asked directly: What is the purpose of telling me this? When I asked him this way, I noticed that Maus was very scheming, because he told me the general situation of the sunken ship he found, but he never mentioned the place where the sunken ship was found. Naturally, he was afraid that I would know the location. It will be bad for him. So when I asked him, his tone was very indifferent. Mao Si replied immediately: I hope to cooperate with Mr. Wei to salvage the sunken ship together. I refused straight away: I'm sorry, I'm not interested in salvaging sunken ships at all, and you're really looking for the wrong person, salvaging sunken ships is not my specialty! Maus was a little anxious: I thought of cooperating with Mr. Wei because I also discovered some very mysterious situations. Contacting and solving mysterious phenomena is exactly your specialty. I'm a little annoyed: Then why didn't you tell the mysterious situation first? Mao Si looked very embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then said: I'm afraid you won't believe it. I shouted: Then stop talking! The big half and the small half who had been silent at the back, until then, only one of them spoke, and I don't know which one: "It's true, Mr. Wei, on the deck of one of the wooden boats, there are a dozen or so wooden box I was impatient: it was a big iron box and a big wooden box. Of course, the things in the big wooden box were also gold, silver and jewelry? From the rear view mirror, I saw that most of the people were talking, and he said: No, it was all rifles and explosives. I knew in my mind: If the Xiaodaohui had a conflict with a foreign ship carrying munitions, then it was probably when the Xiaodaohui occupied Shanghai and the Qing government relied on foreigners to deal with the Xiaodaohui. Moreover, that was not a robbery by pirates, it must be a very tragic military operation! These four shipwrecks can be said to be great materials for studying this period of history, but the manpower and material resources required to pick up the four shipwrecks that have sunk on the seabed for nearly a hundred years are by no means simple, and there will never be anyone in the world , Willing to pay such a price in order to understand this period of history. According to my speculation, the foreign ships transporting arms to support the army against the Small Knife Society must unload near Shanghai, and they must also sail into the Yangtze River Estuary along the coast. The incident will not happen in the Yangtze River, it must be close to the Yangtze River Estuary In the sea area, the sea water in that area is not deep, which is naturally the reason why Maos and the others were able to find the sunken ship. After quick thinking, I already had an idea, so I pretended to be very casual and said: You found the sunken ship and found the area around the South Channel and the North Channel, and you can really say that you have great powers! South waterway and north waterway are special geographical terms. To enter the Yangtze River estuary along the coast, one must pass through Chongming Island. The waterway, in the south is the South Waterway.To the east of the North-South Channel is the Yellow Sea. If my guess is correct, this military operation at sea must take place in the nearby Yellow Sea. Sure enough, as soon as my words came out of my mouth, the two of them, most and half, first let out an ah.From the beginning to the end, Maus did not say where the shipwreck was. He suddenly heard me say such a sentence, he stared at me as if he had seen a ghost, and his body trembled involuntarily. As soon as I saw such a situation, I knew I was right. I further searched my knowledge and memory of the geography in that area, and said in a leisurely manner: If it was an ambush, I think, chicken bone reef and beef The seaway between the reefs is the most ideal location! Maus didn't groan until then: I didn't say anything, how do you know? I spread my hands and parked the car at the entrance of the hospital: I'm here, I'll ask the hospital to send someone to carry the stretcher! I got out of the car and summoned the medical staff. Dr. Yuan Zhenxia was not in the hospital (I said he was not a good doctor), and when the captain was settled, I was very rude and didn't invite the three of them to the car again. the meaning of. Maos probably knew that there was no hope, and he looked very depressed. I comforted him: I suggest you go to Mr. Hassan. His whereabouts are missing now, and he will show up sooner or later.Not only is he rich in financial resources, but he is also very interested in the Small Knife Club. You can say it with at least 60% certainty! Maus sighed: But Hassan couldn't explain why there was a meat freezer on the ship for at least a hundred years. I stayed for a while, and for a while, I didn't feel sorry, but when I did, I yelled: What did you say? For a split second, I really had to yell! Mao Si suddenly mentioned a meat freezer, and Liu Gensheng's container looked exactly like a meat freezer in appearance!Liu Gensheng is the leader of the Small Sword Society, and there are three wooden boats in the sunken ship, which belong to the Small Sword Society. There are too many clues to connect all of these. The first thing I thought of was: One of the containers is still in the factory in France, and everyone is studying it. Is there another one that is still sinking in the sea? I cried out, and Mao Si, most of them, and little half were all startled, and I quickly asked: What did you say?What freezer? . Maus was afraid he might say the wrong thing, so he said it very carefully: there was a big iron box on the western ship, which looked like a meat freezer, and I took a picture of it. He just talked here, and I waved: Hurry up and get in the car, and go to see the photos you took! Mao Si was very happy, got into the car with half and half, and told me where they lived.As soon as I heard their current address, I knew why they found the sunken ship in the Yellow Sea near the mouth of the Yangtze River. The place where they live now belongs to the hotel of an oil exploration company. Of course, they are employed by this oil exploration company to dive in the Yellow Sea to find out whether there is oil in the seabed. Of course the wreck was discovered during their diving operations. Naturally, I asked: Does anyone else know about the discovery of the wreck? Maus looked dignified: There are only three of us, now add you, we have made a solemn oath that we will never disclose it to the outside world, you, you I snorted: I won't tell people.But I don't understand why you are looking for me. Maus hesitated a bit in his answer, but I understood him immediately.He said: There is a regulation in the sea area in that area. If anything is found in the sea, the local government will Before I waited for him to finish speaking, I couldn't help being angry and funny at the same time.They came to me because they were afraid that after picking up the object in the sea, they would not be able to keep it for themselves due to local laws and regulations. So, what kind of character am I in their minds?Is it the smuggling king? If he hadn't known that there was another meat freezer at the bottom of the sea, and it happened to be related to the Knife Society, Maus would have suffered a little.But at this time, I naturally didn't care about them, I just snorted a few times, but Maos looked at me with hope, waiting for my answer. I had no choice but to say: That’s not a problem. I have two friends. Their self-made small submarine has excellent performance. When they find something, they don’t need to make it float to the surface. , nothing goes wrong. A few words from me made Moss and most of the children beam with joy and excitement, because the method I provided was indeed a very good method, and there was no other way. Mao Si suddenly looked very serious, and looked at me: Mr. Wei, how to divide the interests? I was stunned for a while, and asked back: Originally, the three of you, how did you divide the agreement? Mao Si said in a deep voice: I take half, and the two of them take half. I thought about it, although I don't really want to share any benefits, and I know that there is no gold, silver or jewelry in the freezer, and most of them are another person whose life is at a standstill, but I know that if I don't take it seriously , they will think I am insincere. I need to discover more truths based on their discoveries. This opportunity that comes to my door must never be missed, so I made a condition: you and I each get one-third, and they get one-third one. Maos can obviously decide everything without asking for the opinions of the big half and the small half. He pondered for a moment, and then asked: "All expenses?" I didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Naturally, after deducting all the expenses, the expenses will be quite expensive. If the things found in the sunken ship are not enough to cover the expenses, then I will be responsible." My last two sentences were very effective, and Maos expressed his satisfaction, but it took him more than ten seconds before he nodded in agreement.He said: Originally, I wanted to find Mr. Hasan. He is most interested in such weird things and would definitely help me salvage them, but I couldn't find him no matter what. I just said coldly: So I was only the vice-president, but I can tell you that it was right to find me. Hasan is interested, but he may not be able to do this, especially if he brings things out without anyone noticing. . Maos actually agreed with me very much. Maybe he wanted to relieve my unhappiness, so he nodded repeatedly: Yes!yes!Everything depends on the strength of Mr. Wei! This person, in appearance, is very rough and fierce, but from his speech, it can be seen that he is very scheming, and he is not an easy character to deal with.Fortunately, the cooperation relationship between me and them, even if it is established, is very simple, so I don't need to take it too seriously. I also didn't tell him that Hassan went to Shanghai, and the purpose was to find information about the activities of the Small Knife Society. While speaking, he had already arrived at the hotel. Mao Si and the other three lived on one of the floors. They thought their work was very important, so they were treated favorably.As soon as he entered the room, Maus brought a briefcase, put it on the table, put his hand on the briefcase, and looked at me. I said: I won't tell people casually, but I can't hide it from some friends who are going to participate in salvage work. Maos took a deep breath and opened the briefcase without saying anything. There were many folders inside. He opened one of them and put it in front of me.Perhaps it is because modern underwater photography equipment has been very advanced, the photos I saw were very clear. The first is the distant view, wooden boats and merchant ships, only a very small part is buried in the sand, most of them are in the water, it is surprising that the three boats of the Little Sword Club, although they are wooden boats, have been submerged in seawater for hundreds of years , is still quite complete.It can be seen that the Chinese have already had very rich experience in the anti-corrosion method of wood during the long-term use of wood for shipbuilding. That's right, the boat belonged to the Knives Club. In a photo, you can see a bronze medal nailed to the bow of the boat, vaguely a knife, which is the symbol of the Knives Club.In another photo, on the broken mainmast, there is an engraving of the word Zhongyong. The three ships were not big, with their bows raised high, and their appearance was very strange. They seemed to be fast ships on the sea, and they were attacking ships. And that merchant ship was already a very advanced iron-clad ship at that time, how could it sink on the bottom of the sea together with the three wooden ships?Thinking about it, there must have been an extremely intense battle. I looked at the photo anxiously, and after a while, I saw the meat freezer. I held my breath, the meat freezer was in a very strange position on the deck of the merchant ship.Let me explain first, when I saw this meat freezer, my complexion must have changed, because I can be sure at a glance that this is exactly the container, the one that Hasan fished from the Atlantic Ocean and Liu Gensheng walked out of. Only container! It was placed on the deck near the starboard side. From the deck, there was an iron post. The original purpose of the iron post may have been used to fasten the iron chain on the anchor, and the container was locked by the iron chain. On the iron pillar. When I stared at the photo, Maus asked in a very puzzled voice: Why is this big box locked on the deck instead of in the cabin? I already had the answer, but I answered him: I don't know. I answer this way not to hide anything on purpose, but to explain it, which is too complicated. The answer I already have is that this container may have been picked up by a merchant ship during the voyage.Because no one on the merchant ship could open it, didn't know what it was, and refused to give it up, it was locked on the deck for disposal. What I thought again was, were there two of them that were scooped up at that time?Otherwise, why did Liu Gensheng have such an adventure, entered that container, and started his stagnant, intermittent life? When I thought of this, I couldn't help but opened my mouth wide with an ah, unable to close it. 事情本來一點頭緒也沒有,可是只發現了一點線索,就一環扣著一環,可以解開不少謎。我想到的是,作為小刀會的頭目,劉根生是不是曾參加這次海上襲擊運軍火的洋商船的行動? 他極有可能參加了這次行動,更有可能就是在這次行動之中,得以進入那容器的。 毛斯他們自然不明白我何以忽然發出驚呼聲。我在繼續想,如果劉根生一出容器就到上海,為的就是要找尋這一段歷史,我的發現,是不是對他有足夠的誘惑力,引誘他出來見我呢? 毛斯連聲在問:衛先生,以你的經歷來看,這是甚麼容器? 毛斯的問題,問得十分小心,我估計他已經從我的神態之中,知道了我多少對這東西有點認識,所以他問的時候,緊盯著我看。我仍然不打算在這個時候告訴他甚麼,因為事情十分複雜,而且說了,只怕他也不容易接受事實,所以我仍然道:現在來猜測,並無意義,一定要把它撈起來再說。 毛斯答應著,我又問:你們曾潛進船艙去?有沒有甚麼別的發現? 毛斯搖頭:沒有,最奇怪的就是這只大箱子。 我又把全部照片再看了一遍,有不少,是在船艙中拍攝的,確然沒有甚麼特別之處。 而這四艘沉船,對我來說,有特別的意義,是由於其中有三艘,曾屬於小刀會所有之故。 毛斯顯得十分心急,一個人有了發財的夢,總希望早一點實現,他問我:你要準備多久? 我想了一想,我剛才對他說的朋友,是指戈壁沙漠而言,他們擅於製造各種各樣的古怪東西,又和全世界第一流的各種製造廠有聯絡,我想通過他們,弄一艘性能良好的小型潛艇,不是難事,可是需要多久,我也說不上來。我的回答是:盡快,我怎麼和你聯絡? 毛斯指著几上的電話:十天之內,我會留在這裏,然後,我又要工作。 我問:還是在老地方? 毛斯點了點頭,沒有再說甚麼。他還是十分小心,雖然我已知道了沉船的所在地點,但那只是大致的地方,精確的所在,仍然不知道,要找,自然還得費一番功夫,毛斯為了保護他自己的利益,不肯透露精確的所在,倒也無可厚非,我道:十天之內,我相信一定可以出發了。 毛斯的神情十分興奮:我早就說過了,找到了衛先生,比找到了一個金礦更好。 我忍不住說了他一句:別希望太大,那容器之中,可能甚麼也沒有。 毛斯用力眨著眼,像是我的話,是最不可相信的謊言一樣。我伸手在那疊相片上拍了一下,告辭離去。在回家途中,我真是興奮莫名,在出發去看船長的時候,怎麼也想不到會有這樣的奇遇! 一進門,我就大聲叫白素,可是白素不在,我奔進書房,立時拿起了電話來,我不知道法國那時正是甚麼時間,可是沙漠的聲音,聽來有氣無力,弄清楚了是我,才有了一點精神,而在兩分鐘之後,他的聲音,聽來簡直龍精虎猛,因為我已把我的發現,告訴了他。我聽到他在叫:快起來!衛斯理發現了另外一隻古怪容器! 接著,我又聽到了戈壁的聲音,我不等他們多問,就提出了一個要求:替我準備一艘性能良好的潛艇,我不想多惹麻煩,在海底把那容器拖到公海,就甚麼問題都解決了。 我聽得戈壁沙漠低聲商量了一陣子,戈壁就問我:衛先生,你聽說過兄弟姐妹號? 我啊地一聲。我自然聽說過兄弟姐妹號,那是雲氏兄弟以他們的精湛技術和工藝為基礎,用龐大的工業機構作支持,製造出來的一艘奇船堪稱是世界第一奇船。 這艘長度只有三十公尺的奇船,從外形看來,並不是十分突出,可是它性能之超卓,卻是世界之最,它能在水上起飛,又能潛下三百公尺的深海,甚至可以在深海中直接起飛,破空直上九霄,有點類似神話中的產物,曾經是木蘭花、穆秀珍姐妹和雲氏兄弟最得意的交通工具! 我忙道:我自然知道,如果可以借用它,那真的最好了。 戈壁沙漠齊聲道:我想沒問題如果連我們兩個一起借用的話。 我哈哈大笑了起來:沒有問題,買肉,總要搭些肉骨頭的,你們那邊的情況怎麼樣? 沙漠道:一點進展也沒有,悶得幾乎自殺了,幸虧你的發現救了我們。我看,三天之內,我們可以來到,當然是連船一起來。 我放下了電話,由於心中實在太高興,所以雖然只是一個人,可是仍然連連搓手,大聲說道:好極!好極! 我又立刻打了電話給毛斯,告訴他最遲三天之後,我們就可以出發,毛斯聽了之後,好像有點不相信,最後才道:你真是神通廣大! 我呵呵笑著,很有點自鳴得意,神通廣大這個形容詞,放在我身上,誰曰不宜?
