I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain

  Chapter 19 Epitaph

   "The last question, whether you have anything to do with the attack on the church, you just need to answer me, yes or no."

  The middle-aged decadent police officer finally pointed to the core problem. Of course, he noticed the attributive condition Tu Fu added in his previous answer.

  But everyone has their own secrets, and it is immoral to use one's ability to pry into the privacy of others.

  So when investigating cases, he always only chooses the most important inquiries.

"No."

  Tu Fu looked into his cloudy eyes and gave an affirmative answer.

   "So I'm sorry to meet you. Let me introduce myself. I'm Roman Richard, one of the people in charge of handling mysterious incidents." The decadent middle-aged police officer finally agreed to report his family.

  He used the word "unfortunately", because the people they get involved with usually don't end well.

   "Isn't the matter already over?" Tu Fu was puzzled.

   "Roman is right, you guys seem to have escaped, but based on past experience, survivors of these types of events can die from a variety of causes.

  Sudden death, murder, suicide, weird ways. "

  The green-eyed police officer spoke leisurely. His voice is very unique. He always speaks without rush or slowness. He looks like an elderly wise man who always likes to emphasize things in a didactic tone:

   "Even if you seem to be fine now, this may only be a short period of peace. Please don't forget that the murderer behind the scenes has not been arrested, and I don't think he will let you spy on part of the truth."

   "This is why we brought you here." The alcoholic uncle Roman Richard said, "It is very likely that some freaks are behind this incident to achieve their special needs.

   Or something with magical powers causing chaos.

   Of course, it is not ruled out that cultists prepare some kind of ceremony. After all, living in this era has too many uncertain and dangerous factors. "

  Roman's words were very cryptic, because he couldn't say anything more specific.

  They took Tu Fu away in front of everyone, which was equivalent to a disguised form of protection.

  If Tu Fu confessed everything, he could also reduce some of his own risks.

   After hearing these words, Tu Fu immediately became embarrassed. He had no intention of participating in the struggle between these organizations and the murderers behind the scenes.

  Since living in this era, every step has been on thin ice. He works hard and wants to change his destiny through hard work, but fate has always dismissed him.

  No one wants to get too involved with the supernatural, the mysterious.

  His most simple wish now is to make a lot of money through the ghost ship, save the Winster family from the economic crisis, and then buy an independent house in the city center.

   Plus a pair of maids in black and white silk, you can hear a soft "Master, welcome home" after a hard day.

   But the reality is that there seems to be no difference between this place and the Santa Maria,

   Only the cannibal and the eaten.

  Even if you want to settle down, you may die in an accident, or it may be an impromptu thought of some big shots.

  Roman noticed the frustration in the other party, and couldn't help comforting him: "To be honest, I admire a young man like you, who speaks humorously, acts decisively, and has an enviable appearance.

   You are really a thorn in the side of all boys of the same age. I believe that many girls must like you very much. "

   "Very good, I decided to use this sentence for my new epitaph." Tu Fu felt a little funny, like a terminally ill person diagnosed by a doctor.

   In the last days of life, you should eat and drink, and you must not disappoint your life.

  Roman asked interestingly: "So, what is your original epitaph?"

   "Hey, friend, when you see this line, you should realize that you stepped on me." Tu Fu raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled with a mocking expression.

  This vile joke full of black humor is his attitude towards his own life.

   "I like your sense of humor, you should be a comedian."

  Roman Richard happily slapped the table after hearing this answer, and began to actively discuss this issue, "Not bad, then what kind of epitaph do you think I am suitable for?"

   Tu Fu sized him up for a moment, his face was full of stubble and he was dressed awkwardly, and his body exuded a disgusting smell of alcohol. He hadn't cleaned it for an unknown period of time.

  He pondered for two seconds, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "This guy is lazy, he didn't leave anything behind."

   "It couldn't be more appropriate."

  Mr. Roman was amused again, and he expressed approval in his words, "Son, our investigation is over. You can leave at any time, if you need help if you encounter a situation later.

  You can go to any tavern in Nan'ankou to find the leading dancer there, just mention my name. "

"I will."

  Tu Fu memorized this address silently, and at the same time couldn't help feeling the backwardness of technology in this era.

  Whether it’s an underground organization or an official channel, I always like to go to some pubs and other places to make contact. Those who don’t know it think it’s the underground party on the street.

  …

  The carriage was parked on the side of Leighton Street.

   Ethan Winster was waiting on the bed with his wife, daughter and family members. In just one day, his whole portrait had aged several years, and his whole face was terribly gloomy.

  In order to learn about Tu Fu's news, he used many connections.

  He has never asked for help, he took the initiative to save face today, and asked for more times than in his entire life.

   It's okay to be ridiculed, but those **** talk nicely, but their actions are just perfunctory.

   After all, it is an extraordinary organization involving the church, and there are all kinds of freaks in it. Those lunatics are definitely the objects that no one wants to offend.

   "How is the boy now?" Mrs. Anfeier was very annoyed, she shouldn't have been so harsh on the child before.

  Especially Tu Fu, regardless of past suspicions, sacrificed himself to save her life.

  Gosh,

  I turned out to be such a person, Anfeier felt like a vicious stepmother in a drama.

   "Everything is fine, wait for the news." Ethan could only say such words to comfort her.

   Just as the family was worrying about this matter, a black carriage kicked up the dust and stopped in front of them after a precise and straight brake.

"boom."

  When the car door was wide open, the people inside just got out, it was Fix from the police department who took Tufu away, but when Officer Fix saw Ethan, he was obviously surprised.

   "Ethan, it's actually you."

  Aunt Anfeier strode forward and asked, "Where did you take my husband?"

   "Don't worry at all, he's already safe."

  Fix shifted his gaze to Aunt Anfer, who was speaking, and did not forget to praise: "Even after so long, Ms. Gustav is still as beautiful as a rose in Lake Belle."

   "Son, come out, your family should be anxious."

   As he spoke, he motioned for Tu Fu to get out of the carriage. Officer Fix turned his eyes to Ethan and was full of doubts:

   "I heard that even you took over this case, is there no one in the police station?"

  After seeing Tu Fu escaped from danger, Ethan choked as usual, "Indeed, after all, it's a case you can't solve, so you can only send us to wipe your ass."

   "We'll see."

  Fix seemed to have been poked into a sore spot, so he didn't continue to argue. After sneering, he blew a whistle and drove away in the carriage.

   "Uncle, don't worry about me, nothing happened, those gentlemen just took me to find out the situation, that's all."

   Tu Fu talked about what he just experienced.

  Just in order not to worry my uncle, so I concealed the matter about the inspiration and the transcendent.

Ethan began to help sort out this relationship: "So, after including Fix, there are three people in total, and he is the only one from the main office. The people in the main office always like to look at people with their nostrils up. their traditions.

  He doesn't like me, and I don't like him, it's okay.

   But you have to watch out, stay away from that guy named Roman. "

   "Roman Richard? You know him?"

   "I can't say I know him, I just know some bad deeds about him. You can learn the story of this person from every dancer. It is said that this **** never spends money to go to the dance hall."

Understood,

  Contemporary Liu Yong is a role model for our generation.

  Tu Fu nodded thoughtfully.

   "What about Police Officer Fix? How did he know his aunt?" Tu Fu still didn't understand why Fix was so sad after seeing the Winsters.

   "It's an interesting story."

  Aunt Anfeier's tone was already dissatisfied: "Ethan!"

   "It's okay, it's been so long."

  Uncle Ethan posed, and said indifferently: "In fact, he and I were brothers who retired together a long time ago, and we chased your aunt together after returning to Leeds.

   But at that time, his conditions were better than mine, both in terms of family background and future. "

   "Then what happened afterwards?" Tu Fu was curious as to why he could still catch up.

   "Later, there was Sophie." Uncle Ethan smiled triumphantly

  Sophie: "…"

  Under the aunt's eyes that can almost make people linger a thousand times, the uncle's smile gradually dried up.

   "Young man, you did a good job."

  Ethan proudly praised him, and his face regained a lot of vitality.

  Aunt Anfeier, who usually spoke badly to him, also expressed his sincere thanks.

   "Tu Fu, I'm so glad to see you're fine." Even Sophie's eye circles were much redder and swollen than before. I don't know when this beauty quietly touched her tears.

  Tu Fu's heart warmed up, "Don't worry..."

   "I almost thought you couldn't get out, so what about the money you owe me." Miss Winster's beautiful face was full of sadness, and she was really relieved now.

   Tu Fu: "..."

   Fortunately, the uncle ended this embarrassing topic in time, "Children, it's time for us to go home.

  Go back to sleep and forget about these things completely, because tomorrow is another beautiful day. "

  At sunset, the carriage carrying the Winster family disappeared into the horizon along with the sun.

  This Sunday was not as peaceful as usual, many people died unexpectedly, tomorrow's "Leeds Daily" front page news will surprise everyone.

   Then it is natural to forget about it after a period of time, a small thing that is used to it.

   People who live in this era are used to it.

   But for Tuf, he hopes that the Winsters will never...never be a series of insignificant numbers in an event on the news.

  …

  At night, the faint blue moonlight shines into the house, until listening to the soft cries of his family members after they have fallen asleep peacefully, Tu Fu, who has stood under the light and shadow for an unknown period of time, exhales gently for breath.

  Retrieve the cruise ship manual that was clipped in the textbook.

  Not long ago, he made a decision.

   Going back to the "Santa Maria" again, the real achievement is extraordinary, and completely solve this matter.

   And in front of his eyes, the weird gray countdown,

L,

   It kept ringing.
