Chapter 4 Chapter 3 found the second strange container

How did I show up at this time?It's just a "handy" 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, we can be sure thing.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 the actions that day, so I muttered again: "The city gate caught fire, and the fish in the pond were damaged. This captain, you can say that he is extremely innocent. I will go and see him right away."

Bai Su frowned, didn't make a sound, and 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 two sides' meanings have been communicated through language, there is no more It’s necessary to say it——to say it any further is bound to 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 hastily, I was also surprised: Although these three people looked like sailors, they were by no means high 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 looked at the three people and frowned and asked, "How did you get in here?" 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 was very calm: "I mean, the club can only be entered by the introduction of its members." The man raised his head: "This old guy Hasan, is he a member?"

If the voyager has never heard of the name Hassan, it is as impossible as the Communist Party member has never heard of Marx. The staff was taken aback for a moment before replying: "Oh, Mr. Hassan introduced you? There is 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. The man said repeatedly: "Please come in! Please come in! The three of you can enjoy everything as you like, and Mr. Hasan will pay for the expenses." I "watched" here, 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 in the back, 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 man who had been scolded so badly by him. people. When I saw the situation, I naturally had to take action—at such a 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 hand bowl, 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 moment, the captain had not finished roaring, and his hands were already on my neck, and he grabbed me. The force he used was so strong that when he grabbed his neck, it was like two steel hoops coming straight up. Although his eyes didn't turn black, there was still a burst of golden stars.

The captain absolutely wanted to catch me to death. At this moment, he was in such a severe 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 asked 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 was scolded finally took a breath of relief, pointed at the three people, and was very dissatisfied: "You guys leave quickly! It's because I showed a little interest in what you said that I didn't come back." Something bad like this is going to happen!" At this time, I didn't know the whole story, and I didn't want to study it, because for a patient with alcoholism, 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. For difficult and miscellaneous diseases, 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, he took out a business card of Hassan, which made the staff of the club swear by him Christine that person. I said coldly: "Who is it worth being so happy to recognize? It's 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 wanted to find you. See you!" You are 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 originally wanted to say something polite to 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, and shouted: "I am Maus, Maus Mellen!" After he called out this name, the enthusiasm on his face continued unabated, as if he hoped that I would pounce on him and hug him, it was really annoying and funny, I sighed and looked at the others past. As soon as that person called out my name, the people around me made some voices indicating that they knew who I was. Do you know who Maus Meerlan is, too! 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 earnest eyes: "Mr. Wei, you should at least remember the surname Mellon!" His voice was sincere and full of hope, which made me apologetic and thought about it, but I still didn't have any impression. At this time, there was already laughter among the bystanders, and someone called: "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. Maos pointed to his hair and said repeatedly: "Red hair, red hair is a special feature 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: "One more reminder!" Maus gritted his teeth a bit, and he called out: "Diving!" Without waiting for me to say anything else, he said again: "My uncle kept the photos he took with you, that's why I came from 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 have 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. After entering the lunatic asylum, if it wasn't for a 1 in 10,000 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, and it was recorded in the story, which left a deep impression on me. However, the surname Mellon has been forgotten, so it is not so easy to recall. 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, it is a pity that he died young - that kind of horrible scene can drive me crazy, which naturally means that Maeren committed suicide because of this, of course Because of his special weakness. 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 , can we find a place to talk about it?" I frowned, I have always disliked people who acted like ghosts, so I shook my head and pointed at the captain: "He has become like this, I am somewhat responsible, I will send him to the hospital!" I turned him down, but who knows that Mao Si will take advantage of the opportunity: "Great, I'll help you take him to the hospital. On the way, we just have a detailed talk!" He said, before I had a reaction, he waved to the other two: "Most half, little half, help this gentleman to life!" 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 drunken person has no ability to control himself at all, and may break his skull when his head swings! When I saw this situation, it was inconvenient for me to refuse. Anyway, I also needed his help. When we left the club, the staff respectfully sent us out.Naturally, it was because Maus had Hassan's business card.Most of them are brothers, they have very strange names, they were vagrants, they followed Maus since they were young, so they respect Maus very much, the two of them put the captain in the middle, and they sat in the back, I drove, and Maus sat in the car 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 in these 20 minutes." Maus was very grateful: "Enough! Enough!" Then, he introduced half and half, and explained why he had Hassan's business card: "Hasan likes strange stories. I have been engaged in diving work all over the world. Although the sea is unpredictable, the seabed is ever-changing. Some are strange things, 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 let it go again. After getting 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 remark", I really wanted to stop immediately and kick him out of the car! I snorted, and said coldly: "In order to make you make the best use of the ten minutes, I try not to ask questions, let you do the talking!" Most divers dream like this: "I hit a sunken ship, and there are countless gold, silver and jewels on the sunken ship-although there are not no such examples, but thousands of divers are so lucky, It can be counted. 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 lying quietly 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 Mao Qi continued as I expected: "I found... some sunken ships... several ships, sunk together. It seems that they sank together in the sea during a naval battle. One of them On the boat, there is a very huge iron box, which may contain countless jewels!" I didn't even say "huh" and just drove by myself. Maus swallowed, and looked as if he had found the big box and became "some kind of rich man". "According to my speculation, this ship encountered pirates, and it was destroyed and sank during the struggle with the pirates. 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, apparently 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 was furious. I was so angry that I almost wanted to scold him with foul language. Although I finally didn’t swear, my words were bound to be extremely impolite: “Why is the Chinese ship a pirate ship? What is your basis for judging the Chinese?” Maus was really taken aback when he saw my stern voice, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...the three Chinese ships are also armed...with guns, and...some signs are bronze medals. I picked up one of them. Come up, ask someone to appraise it, and the expert said: "The words rusted on the bronze plate indicate that these... these ships belong to a Chinese pirate organization called "Small Knife Club".'" I was stunned for a moment, At this time, the car was parked in front of the red light. Because of the shock, he forgot to drive after turning the light, which caused the car behind to honk loudly. "Small Knife Club" is naturally "Small Knife Club"! Before the Little Knife Society made Shanghai their base camp, they had conducted activities at sea for a long time.At that time, it is also possible to do some cheap business at sea. If it is a ship of the Small Sword Society, it is worth listening to it, because I am worrying about the Small Sword Society! (Every reader will definitely say after seeing this: What a coincidence, why did I meet three people inexplicably, and it has something to do with 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.) Mao Qi 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 Little Knife Society, 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 is not a military ship, but a transport ship, but it is 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 also had cannons. The hospital was almost here, so I directly asked, "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. Besides, you've found the wrong person. Salvaging sunken ships is not my specialty!" Mao Si 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 was a little annoyed: "Then why didn't you tell the mysterious situation first?" Mao Si's expression was very awkward, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "I... 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 more than ten people. Only one wooden box" I said impatiently, "It's another big iron box, and another big wooden box. Naturally, the things in the big wooden box are also gold, silver and jewelry?" From the rear view mirror, I saw most of the people talking, he said: "No, it's 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! The manpower and material resources spent to retrieve these four sunken ships are not simple. There will never be anyone in the world who is 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 their cargo 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 in the waters close to the Yangtze River Estuary On the sea, the water in that area is not deep, which is naturally the reason why Maus 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 are looking for the sunken ship, and you can really say that you have great powers if you find the area around the South Waterway and the North Waterway!" "South Waterway" and "North Waterway" are special geographical terms. To enter the Yangtze River Estuary from the coast, one must pass through Chongming Island. The one in the south is called the North Waterway, and the one in the south is called 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 majority and the small half let out an "ah" first.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 this situation, I knew I was right. I further searched my knowledge and memory of the geography in that area, and said in a leisurely way: "If it was an ambush, I think the chicken bone reef and beef The seaway between the reefs is the most ideal place!" Until then, Maus groaned: "I didn't say anything, how do you know?" I spread my hands and parked the car at the entrance of the hospital in no time: "Here we are, 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 also knew that there was no hope, and his expression was very depressed. I comforted him: "I suggest you go to Mr. Hassan—he is missing now, and he will appear sooner or later. , very interested, you can tell, at least 60% sure!" Maos sighed: "However, Hassan can't explain why there is a freezer on a ship that is at least a hundred years old." I was stunned 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. During this period, there are too many clues that can lead to a relationship. 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 kind of frozen meat cabinet?". Maus was afraid that he might say the wrong thing, so he said it very carefully: "A large iron box on the western ship looks like a...meat freezer. I took a picture..." He just talked here, and I waved my hand: "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 were.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 solemnly: "There are only the three of us, and now you are added. We have sworn to 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: "The sea area in that area... There is a regulation, if anything is found in the sea, the local government..." 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" on the bottom of the sea, and it happened to be related to the Knife Club, Maus would have suffered a little.But at this time, I naturally didn't care about them, I just groaned a few times, but Maus looked at me with a hopeful look, waiting for my reply. I had no choice but to say: "That's not a problem. I have two friends. Their self-made small submarines have excellent performance. When they find something, they don't need to make it float to the surface. They just drag it away on the bottom of the sea, drag it to the open sea, and then prepare the ship. Accept it, nothing will go 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 do you divide the interests?" I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Originally, how did the three of 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 If I'm not serious, they'll think I'm 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 will each get one-third, and they will get one-third." one." Maos can obviously decide everything without having to seek the opinions of the majority and the minority. 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 will definitely help me salvage them, but I couldn't find him no matter what." I just said coldly: "It turns out that 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 takes something away without anyone noticing it." come out." Mao Si actually agreed with me very much. Perhaps he wanted to relieve my unhappiness, so he repeatedly pointed people: "Yes! Yes! Everything depends on Mr. Wei's great strength!" 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 "cooperative" relationship between me and them, even if 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." Maus took a breath, 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 the sea water. A hundred years old, still very 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 "loyalty and bravery".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, that Hasan was fished from the Atlantic Ocean, and Liu Gensheng walked inside. That container that came out! 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 was staring at the photo, Maus asked in a very puzzled voice: "Why is this... the big box locked on the deck and not placed in the cabin?" 我已经有了答案，可是我回答他：“不知道。” 我这样回答，并不是有意要隐瞒什么，而是要解释起来实在太复杂了。 我已经有了的答案是，这容器，可能是商船在航程之中捞起来的。由于商船上没有人可以打得开它，又不知道它是什么，也不肯放弃它，所以才将它锁在甲板上，等候处理。 我又想到的是，是不是当时捞起来的一共有两只呢？不然何以刘根生会有这样的奇遇，进入了那个容器之中，开始了他停顿的、间歇的生命？ 一想到这里，我不由自主，“啊”地一声，张大了口，合不拢来。 事情本来一点头绪也没有，可是只发现了一点线索，就一环扣着一环，可以解开不少谜。我想到的是，作为小刀会的头目，刘根生是不是曾参加这次海上袭击运军火的洋商船的行动？ 他极有可能参加了这次行动，更有可能就是在这次行动之中，得以进入那容器的。 毛斯他们自然不明白我何以忽然发出惊呼声。我在继续想，如果刘根生一出容器就到上海，为的就是要找寻这一段历史，我的发现，是不是对他有足够的诱惑力，引诱他出来见我呢？ 毛斯连声在问：“卫先生，以你的经历来看，这是什么……容器？” 毛斯的问题，问得十分小心，我估计他已经从我的神态之中，知道了我多少对这东西有点认识，所以他问的时候，紧盯着我看。我仍然不打算在这个时候告诉他什么，因为事情十分复杂，而且说了，只怕他也不容易接受事实，所以我仍然道：“现在来猜测，并无意义，一定要把它捞起来再说。” 毛斯答应着，我又问：“你们曾潜进船舱去？有没有什么别的发现？” 毛斯摇头：“没有，最奇怪的就是这只大箱子。” 我又把全部照片再看了一遍，有不少，是在船舱中拍摄的，确然没有什么特别之处。 而这四艘沉船，对我来说，有特别的意义，是由于其中有三艘，曾属于小刀会所有之故。 毛斯显得十分心急，一个人有了发财的梦，总希望早一点实现，他问我：“你要准备多久？” 我想了一想，我刚才对他说的朋友，是指戈壁沙漠而言，他们擅于制造各种各样的古怪东西，又和世界第一流的各种制造厂有联络，我想通过他们，弄一艘性能良好的小型潜艇，不是难事，可是需要多久，我也说不上来。我的回答是：“尽快，我怎么和你联络？” 毛斯指着几上的电话：“十天之内，我会留在这里，然后，我又要工作。” 我问：“还是在老地方？” 毛斯点了点头，没有再说什么。他还是十分小心，虽然我已知道了沉船的所在地点，但那只是大致的地方，精确的所在，仍然不知道，要找，自然还得费一番功夫，毛斯为了保护他自己的利益，不肯透露精确的所在，倒也无可厚非，我道：“十天之内，我相信一定可以出发了。” 毛斯的神情十分兴奋：“我早就说过了，找到了卫先生，比找到了个金矿更好。” 我忍不住说了他一句：“别希望太大，那容器之中，可能什么也没有。” 毛斯用力眨着眼，像是我的话，是最不可相信的谎言一样。我伸手在那叠相片上拍了一下，告辞离去。在回家途中，我真是兴奋莫名，在出发去看船长的时候怎么也想不到会有这样的奇遇！ 一进门，我就大声叫白素，可是白素不在，我奔进书房，立时拿起了电话来，我不知道法国那时正是什么时间，可是沙漠的声音，听来有气无力，弄清楚了是我，才有了一点精神，而在两分钟之后，他的声音，听来简直龙精虎猛，因为我已把我的发现，告诉了他。我听到他在叫：“快起来！卫斯理发现了另外一只古怪容器！” 接着，我又听到了戈壁的声音，我不等他们多问，就提出了一个要求：“替我准备一艘性能良好的潜艇，我不想多惹麻烦，在海底把那容器拖到公海，就什么问题都解决了。” 我听得戈壁沙漠低声商量了一阵于，戈壁就问我：“卫先生，你听说过'兄弟姐妹号'？” 我“啊”地一声。我自然听说过“兄弟姐妹号”，那是云氏兄弟以他们的精湛技术和工艺为基础，用庞大的工业机构作支持，制造出来的一艘奇船——堪称是世界第一奇船。 这艘长度只有三十分尺的奇船，从外形看来，并不十分突出，可是它性能之超卓，却是世界之最，它能在水上起飞，又能潜下三百公尺的深海，甚至可以在深海中直接起飞，破空直上九霄，有点类似神话中的产物。曾经是木兰花、穆秀珍姐妹和云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，那真就最好了。” 戈壁沙漠齐声道：“我想没问题——如果我们两个一起借用的话。” 我哈哈大笑了起来：“没有问题，买肉，总要搭些肉骨头的，你们那边的情况怎么样？” 沙漠道：“一点进展也没有，闷得几乎自杀了，幸亏你的发现救了我们。我看，三天之内，我们可以来到，当然是连船一起来。” 我放下了电话，由于心中实在太高兴，所以虽然只是一个人，可是仍然连连搓手，大声说道“好极！好极！” 我又立刻打了电话给毛斯，告诉他最迟三天之后，我们就可以出发，毛斯听了之后，好像有点不相信，最后才道：“你真是神通广大！” 我呵呵笑着，很有点自鸣得意，“神通广大”这个形容词，放在我身上，谁曰不宜？
