Text Chapter 31 Silver is missing
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Wei had just woken up from his sleep. The noise outside the door had already reached Chen Wei's ears.
With an "um", Chen Wei opened the door and asked the people who were sitting in the hall at this time, "What's wrong with Tashi?" Why is it so noisy outside, what's going on? ”
Listening to Chen Wei's question, Tashi Gree immediately stood up from above the chair and respectfully greeted Chen Wei: "Young master, good morning." "Good morning, young master."
"Quick, don't you hurry up, move quickly, you must find out the thief for me, don't let go of every corner, I don't believe he can fly." Quick, find it! A roar continued to circulate through the hallway outside the door.
Chen Wei looked at the two Tashi in front of him and asked, "What's going on?" Why? ”
Tashi and Gree glanced at each other. The hearts of the two began to communicate.
In the end, it is not known who won the victory. Tashi walked out towards Chen Wei and said to Chen Wei, "Young Master, do you remember the giant shark thieves group the day before yesterday?" ”
Chen Wei nodded suspiciously: "I know!" What, is there something wrong? You're not trying to tell me they're here again! Well, no, no. ”
Chen Wei immediately pushed this idea away, and Chen Wei said to Tashi: "No, even if there is, it should be sneaking in, otherwise, it will be useless." And the matter has long been said, the ghost shark should not even ignore this credibility! It's only been two days, and he can't bear it anymore so quickly. ”
Seeing the surprise on the faces of the two, Chen Wei widened his eyes, stared at each other tightly, and asked, "Then, this matter is really the same as what I said!" ”
"Young Master, you are really like a god! You've guessed it. Master, do you know? Today the whole ship was in a lot of noise. Master, do you know? The 500,000 catties of silver on the ship were gone. Everybody was saying that it was the Giant Shark Thieves who did it. Only they have the ability to transport the 500,000 catties of silver away at one time. ”
"Young master, it's one night!" Gree exclaimed at Chen Wei.
"What?" Chen Wei exclaimed. His eyes widened, looking at the two Gree in front of him. "What? You mean? The 500,000 catties of silver that Mori was responsible for escorting were lost that night. Is that the case? ”
"Yes, young master. That's right, that's it. Master, you don't know! According to the watchmen, the silver was still in the hold yesterday evening. But this morning, the silver was gone. Seriously, if it weren't for the crew checking the water level this morning who noticed that the waterline of Harmony 3 had risen by half a metre, I think this incident might not have been discovered until the evening? Tashi said.
"Seriously, Tashi, I don't really know how those people do things. It's unbelievable that people have quietly transported this silver away. Gree also spoke.
"Wait, Gree, what did you say? What is called silent. Could it be that none of the guards noticed something wrong last night? Is there no one to guard the silver? This, is this possible? Chen Wei couldn't help but ask.
Gree looked at Chen Wei with a blank face, but soon, Gree also knew why Chen Wei was like this? After all, Chen Wei is not a crew member on this ship, and it is natural that Chen Wei does not know about the things on this ship. Speaking of which, even myself, if I hadn't gossiped about it this morning, I wouldn't have known what was going on?
Gree said to Chen Wei: "Young Master, it's actually like this. It's not that the silver is unguarded, it's just that the guards are all outside the cabin. ”
Seeing that Chen Wei's forehead was still full of confusion, Gree explained again: "Young master, in fact, this is the case. The silver compartment was very tight, except for a few vents at the edge of the hull, the whole cabin was in a sealed state, and the walls around the cabin were made of stainless steel and very hard. The door to the cabin is even harder. To open a door, you need at least three keys to open it. One was in Captain Smerk's hands, and the other two were in Mori's hands. ”
"As for the crew guarding the silver, they are all outside the cabin, and no one can approach them at all. But it is precisely because of this that they are also free from suspicion. After all, they can't get in. Gree said.
Listening to Gree's words, Chen Wei frowned unconsciously. Three keys, one in Smock's hand and two on Mori's body, so that even if those crew members were fishing in troubled waters, but without the key, they could not open the hatch, how could they remove all the entire 500,000 catties of silver in this night.
Even if they help, wouldn't anyone find out? No matter how fast it is, it will take more than an hour, and it will have to be the cooperation of the ship's staff, otherwise it will be impossible?
Just, is this possible? The mere fact that this hatch did not open was already a great difficulty.
"So, is it possible that the thieves secretly transferred them away? If it's a thief, I think it can be done! Chen Wei's words had just been finished.
Tashi immediately objected. "Young Master, this is absolutely impossible? Young Master, Tashi knows what you want to say, whether it was Captain Smerk who secretly carried it away. But young master, you think! Is this possible? You know, Count Murray would go to the cabin every night to check on him. Counting the number, plus the crew on the ship, there are also people with Count Murray, if Captain Smerk does it, it will definitely not be able to hide from Count Murray. ”
"One more question? That is, even if it was stolen by Captain Smerk, the entire 500,000 catties of silver, as long as it was on the ship, would be discovered by others at once. Also, the water level on this ship has risen by almost half a meter to the waterline. By all indications, the silver had disappeared from the ship. Gree said his opinion to Chen Wei.
Chen Wei glanced at Gree curiously and said with interest. "I really didn't expect that? Gree, are you still quite smart? Did you think of that? Amazing, amazing! ”
Gree also heheed at this, and also followed.
But soon, the expression on Chen Wei's face immediately became serious. Chen Wei said coldly to Gree: "Your analysis is very reasonable. However, this does not stop Smock from being auctioned. Don't you know? There's something in this world called the Space Ring! Also, how do you know that those people were not bought by Beesmerk during last night's inspection? As for Murray? Did he really go for a check-up last night? I remember that Maury spent the whole night in Mr. Tom's room next door! ”
"One more thing, can't this half-meter waterline be something else? Couldn't it be that something else in the boat was thrown into the river by someone else to give people a false impression? ”
Chen Wei's words had just been finished, and the two of them also bowed their heads to Chen Wei and didn't say anything more? Indeed, Chen Wei's words are not wrong at all, and there is indeed such a possibility.
"But it? We can't deny that this matter has nothing to do with Smerk. After all, anything can happen in this world? It's just that in the absence of absolute evidence, it is better not to make judgments. Chen Wei nodded, and his head slowly pondered.
Chen Wei secretly said in his heart: "Interesting, it seems, it's really interesting!" ”
"Oh, by the way, is there anything else besides this!" Chen Wei asked at the two of them. After all, when something so big happened, there was no reason to have only a few clues. Although Chen Wei doesn't know what the hell is going on? It's not related to me, but since I'm on the ship, I have to be careful.
As if he had thought of something, Tashi said to Chen Wei, "Oh, by the way, young master, there is one more thing. The river that appeared on the surface last night is gone. ”
As soon as Tashi's words were finished, Chen Wei's heart suddenly shook, as if he had thought of something.
Chen Wei said in his heart: "That's right, so that's it, so that's it!" No wonder, no wonder? It's just that who the hell is this person! is so capable and will do it so quietly. ”
Chen Wei also showed a smile on his face. "Looks like things are getting more and more interesting!"
---------------
Knock knock, knock knock on the door.
Chen Wei glanced at Gree, and Gree walked out the door.
Gree opened the door, looked at the crew who appeared in front of him, and asked, "What's wrong?" Can I help you? ”
"Your Excellency, that's right. You know about last night. Said the crew.
Gree nodded in agreement. "But so what? What's the matter? ”
"That's right, because of that incident, Earl Maury has now issued an order to Captain Smerk to stop sailing. It is said that the man who stole the silver must still be on this ship at this time, therefore. ”
"So what? You wouldn't mean to say? That's what we did! Do you know what you're talking about? There are some things that you can't talk nonsense! Gree's tone began to grow cold.
The crew's hearts are also very clear about Gree's performance at this time, after all, Tianchen Wei just had a conflict with Count Murray a few days ago. It is inevitable to suspect that Murray will frame him.
Chen Wei listened to Gree's words and immediately shouted at Gree with displeasure. "Gree."
Gree turned his head, what else was his mouth going to say? Just looking at Chen Wei's displeased face, Gree obediently closed his mouth and didn't say anything more.
The crew also shifted their gaze to Chen Wei. He said respectfully to Chen Wei: "Young Master Chen, hello." We apologize for disturbing your rest. Earl Maury has a visit to your hall, saying that he has something to discuss with you. ”
"Discuss, discuss, discuss?" Chen Wei asked.
"Young Master Chen, this is the disappearance of Baiyin. Count Maury thought that the silver must still be in the captain's corner. It's just a big question how to find it out. Therefore, Count Maury wanted to invite him to consult and see how to find it? The crew said to Chen Wei without humility or arrogance.
"Well, that's right!" Chen Wei groaned.
