Chapter 019: Contact
The island in the distance is in sight.
A majestic figure appeared on the bow of the ship, wearing an ordinary work uniform, looking tense, he paced restlessly on the bow of the boat, and looked in the direction of the island from time to time.
"Grieg, you're too restless, relax, it's just an ordinary mission."
A woman's voice came.
The speaker was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her 40s, with short blond hair and thin cheeks that looked very capable.
The years of wind and frost and hard work have left deep marks on her face, but her figure is well maintained, and it can be seen that she was definitely a popular beauty when she was young.
"What if that guy runs away?"
The big man named Greg said in a rough voice.
He has a burly figure and a thick beard, and his face alone will definitely make people think of a thug at first.
"Relax man."
"It's an island, where else can he go without a boat?"
"Can you fly with a pair of wings?"
Another voice came, an old man in his 50s with a red face.
"The only boat on the island was split to pieces in the previous storm, and the guy has barely left the island since."
"But are you mistaken?"
The old man asked suspiciously.
"As far as I know, Kant was a good fellow, and although he was withdrawn, he was actually a cold-hearted man."
"After working on the island for so many years, there has not been any mistakes, saying that such an honest guy will kill people."
The old man shook his head.
"I won't believe it."
"What do you know?!"
Greg said in a rough voice, "I have been a police officer for so many years, and I have seen too many vicious criminals, and I tell you, it is often those honest people you think are the most hated perverts!" ”
"Those guys usually hide in the crowd and only show their fangs at certain times!"
"Huh."
The old man chuckled.
"Come on, Greg."
"I grew up watching you, where did some perverted murderer come out of our Bay Town?"
"The last murder was three years ago."
Greg's face swelled, and he still forced himself to argue, "I have come into contact with many archives in my work, and there are many records in them. ”
Next, the two of you said a word, from Greg's troubles to the security of the town, each said their own thing, but they quarreled.
But at this moment, the face of the blonde woman standing next to her with a helpless face changed suddenly.
"Shut up!"
"Look!"
She stretched out her hand, and the two people in the argument looked in the same direction.
They turned against the light, and the scorching sun shone on their eyes, but even so, the three of them could still clearly see the charred black lighthouse on the island.
"Full speed ahead!"
The old man jumped into the wheelhouse and pushed the speed of the boat to the limit.
At the same time, Roger removed the pendant that hung near the lighthouse, and he wore it around his neck, carefully simulating his next performance in his mind.
Looking at the approaching boat, he silently cheered himself up.
"Roger, please start your show!"
After much consideration, Roger decided not to distort the facts too much, he hadn't cleaned up his appearance much in the past few days, so the whole person looked depressed and dirty.
After brewing his emotions for a while, Roger pretended to be the rest of his life, stumbled towards the docked boat, and shouted loudly as he ran:
"There are boats! There are boats! ”
"Saved, I'm finally saved!"
But at this moment, Roger saw a burly figure on the ship suddenly pull out a pistol, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at his chest.
"Don't move!"
"Stand still!"
Roger looked confused and said what about the rescue? What about the promised supply ships?
What is this unfolding?
"Put down the gun!"
"Look clearly, he's still a kid!"
A sharp female voice came.
Roger followed the prestige and saw a blonde woman leap out of the boat and stride towards him in the water.
The woman's beautiful face was undisguised with concern, and she spread her hands as far as she could to make herself look as non-threatening.
"Listen to me, kid, we have no ill will."
She turned back and pointed to the ship's logo, "As you can see, it's a supply ship, my companion is too nervous, don't worry." ”
As she spoke, she gestured frantically for Greg to put away the gun in his hand.
Slowly approaching Roger, "My name is Andreine, what about you?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Roger's eyes, and a sense of vigilance suddenly rose in his heart, because the woman in front of him and the man on the ship behaved strangely, and they really didn't look like the crew of the ship.
However, he replied according to the pre-set line: "Me?"
"I only remember my name being Roger, the rest ...... I can't remember anything. ”
As he spoke, he held his head and pretended to be in pain.
"A shipwreck?"
Adeline quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, "Are you the only one on the island?" ”
"What about the weathercatcher at the lighthouse?"
"You mean Kant?"
Roger's face showed horror, "He saved me, but then ...... Later, there was a fire, a big fire! ”
"I didn't dare come near there, I never saw him again!"
A cry came out of his throat, and Roger swore that he had pushed his acting skills to the limit by this time.
"Quick, Greg!"
Anderine waved her hand frantically, and hearing her order, Greg jumped out of the boat and rushed ashore, and then ran quickly towards the lighthouse.
"Don't worry, Roger, you're saved, and in a moment you'll be able to follow our ship back to town, and I think it won't be long before you can return home to your parents." ”
At this point, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face, and then quickly returned to normal.
It didn't take long for a grizzled Greg to run back.
He looked solemn.
"A charred corpse was found, it should be that Kant, damn it, did this guy commit suicide by arson?"
Greg clenched his fists, and the effect of catching a murderer and finding the body of a murderer was completely different, whether it was a reward for merit or a dissemination.
"Hey, boy, you've been with that Kant, have you noticed anything?"
Roger pretended to be scared and shrank back, while Andleine stepped forward to stand in front of Roger.
"Watch your tone, he's a kid, not your prisoner!"
Greg smiled awkwardly, "Okay, it's me who was too nervous, I just thought it was a little weird, and judging from his performance in killing Nick, it didn't look like he was going to kill himself......"
Seeing Andrein's fierce eyes, Greg seemed to understand something and silently closed his mouth.
Roger, who was standing behind Andleine, had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"What did they find? Apparently he came to arrest Kant. ”
The information in his mind was reorganized, and Roger thought about his next response.
