I Have 48 Hours a Day

"What do you mean when your apartment was invaded last night?" Zhang Heng asked Vincent, who looked a little nervous across the desk.

"Honestly I don't know exactly what happened. I slept earlier last night, and in the middle of the night I opened my eyes stupidly and saw that the window was wide open. A dark shadow stood by my window with his back to his back. I'm rummaging in the cupboard. "

"How do you know he's looking for this?" Zhang Heng pointed to the love poems brought from Clark's ship on the table and asked.

"Because he turned my bedroom upside down, I went to the sea this time and distributed 33 Spanish gold coins in the locker, but he didn't touch it, there was some loose change on the table, and there was no shortage of points. He only I took that supply record and inventory from the bookshelf, but I put this love poem under my pillow. "

"Wait, why did you put this under the pillow?" Annie raised her eyebrows.

The young boat doctor's face turned red, and he opened his mouth, but he could not say a word for a long time.

Zhang Heng felt his distress, took the initiative to shift the topic, and asked, "Did you see his face?"

Vincent nodded when he heard the words, a look of fear appeared on his face, "He is not human, his clothes are wet, just like he was just taken out of the water, and he has a strong salty taste, water drops It dripped down the floor along his sleeves and trouser legs, and seaweed and shells hung on his hair. "

The young boat doctor recalled the horrible scene before and couldn't help but start to choke again, "I pretended to be still asleep, but secretly opened my eyes a slit, saw his hands, and his face, which was full of scales. Afterwards, he seemed to find me, turned around and grinned at me, and I was fainted. The sky was already bright when I opened my eyes again, and I hurried out of the room. "

Vincent took three notes from his body after saying, "In fact, I have almost translated these things, and there are only a few pages left in the supply record. I'm sorry, I didn't protect them."

"No, you have done a good job, this time has been hard." Zhang Heng took the notes, "I still have a rude invitation, can you go and see where you live?"

"Of course." The young boat doctor nodded. "You are welcome."

The three came to Vincent's residence. It was a small cabin, but it was enough to live alone. Many plants were planted nearby. Some of them were rare species on the island. Lee introduced Vincent when he said he liked botany.

The walls of his house were covered with vines and looked very beautiful, and a fence next to it was Billy's house.

The helmsman of Jackdaw was holding her little daughter, who was only two years old, for a walk in the yard, and saw the three of them coming from not far away, saying hello, giving her daughter to his wife, and leaving later Come over.

"You came for that thing."

"Can you wait for me?" Vincent opened the door and glanced at Annie, a little embarrassed.

"This is your home, you have the final say." Zhang Hengdao.

A touch of gratitude appeared on the young ship's doctor's face, and he flashed in through the crack of the door, and then brought the door at the fastest speed, and soon there was a ding-dong sound.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Heng asked Billy, "You live next to him. Did you notice anything unusual last night?"

The latter shook his head, "I will fall asleep as soon as I return to the land. I didn't know what happened until he knocked on my door in pajamas this morning. The child was really scared last night. I still I have never seen him look so panicked. "

After a moment of hesitation, Billy asked again, "Do you think this thing has to do with that ghost ship?"

"I'm not sure yet." Zhang Heng thought of the weird storm that Jackdaw encountered on his way back to Nassau. All signs showed that they had indeed encountered a supernatural phenomenon. From this point of view, the owner of the ghost ship wanted Getting his things back is also the most reasonable explanation, but I don't know why he always feels that something is wrong.

That's why I proposed to take a look at Vincent's house.

After a while, the young boat doctor reopened the door, and the three invited him in a hurry.

Vincent had already cleaned up the living room for a while, and he also took out a packet of tea and soaked it in water, but Zhang Heng couldn't afford it.

The three walked into the young boat doctor's bedroom. The first thing that caught their eyes was the dense plant specimens and sketches on the wall, and then clothes and boots scattered on the ground.

Vincent's look was awkward. He hadn't had time to clean up here, but as far as a bachelor is concerned, his bedroom wasn't too bad. Zhang Heng had seen more bedrooms than this when he was at school.

Just glanced at Zhang Heng and removed his eyes from those plant specimens. Then he crouched down and touched the floor with his fingers. There were water stains on some of them, but they are still wet now. Places to stay longer, including cabinets and in front of the bed.

In addition, Zhang Heng also picked up two small shells and a scale on the ground, which also seems to confirm the story told by the young ship doctor from the side. As for the salty taste, it has faded a lot because of the ventilation.

Zhang Heng walked to the window again. This is also where the uninvited guest came in and left. On the window sill, two pots of unknown plants were placed, but one of them was knocked down, and a small garden below it. .com ~ is it OK? Zhang Heng glanced at the young ship doctor, and after getting the latter's permission, he climbed up the windowsill and jumped into the garden from here.

Zhang Heng tried to step on the soil under his feet twice, "How often do you water?"

"Well, once a week, I'll ask Netetti when I go out. The last time she watered was five days ago."

Natty is also Billy's wife, who helped him a lot after Vincent moved here, which is why Vincent was willing to go to the Jackdaw as a ship doctor after Bill started.

Zhang Heng turned around in the garden and saw several residents nearby, so he and Annie visited again and again, but unfortunately did not get any useful information. Vincent's residence was invaded late at night. At this time, everyone was usually asleep, and no one saw a suspicious figure described by a young boat doctor nearby.

The lunch at noon was eaten at Billy's house. Vincent's spirit was still a little shy. Obviously, what happened last night did not stimulate him lightly until the young boat doctor got Billy's permission and agreed to borrow at his house. Two days later, she was grateful and cheered up a little.
