"It's okay, we have nothing to do, just in time to help you." Zhang Heng said.
Seth's smile was a bit forced, when a woman's voice came from the room, "What's the matter, Seth, are there any guests?"
"It's Sean, and... uh, two friends."
"Aren't you inviting them in?"
"I almost forgot," Seth patted his head, "The house is quite messy, don't mind."
After speaking, he moved the chair outside the house back into the house, and Zhang Heng and the three followed him and walked in together.
"Tracy, go make some coffee for the guests." Seth said to a plump woman in the room, who should be his wife who just married him not long ago. Hearing this, he nodded and walked into the kitchen. After a while Her voice sounded again, "Seth, do you know where the coffee beans Beth just sent?"
"Oh, I know where it is, let me get it." Seth said as he went up to the second floor.
Half a minute later, the woman named Trish came out of the kitchen, holding a plate of mangoes in her hand, "Sorry, Seth put away all the kitchen utensils and everything, and now there are only some fruits left at home."
After Zhang Heng took the fruit, he thanked him. He chatted with Tracy for a while. Tell her what happened on the Clark ship, she didn't know what happened last night, she only thought that Trish spent the night at the new house.
Zhang Heng and Annie looked at each other, and they were basically sure that Seth was the person they were looking for, and they would have a showdown with him after he went downstairs.
However, at this moment, Sean on the side muttered, "Does it take so long to get a coffee?"
Tracy was a little embarrassed, "I'll go and urge him."
After she finished speaking, she walked to the storage room on the side, and Sean reminded him, "Seth is on the second floor."
"The second floor?" Tracy was taken aback when she heard the words, "But the second floor was just emptied by us, and there is nothing there."
Hearing this, Zhang Heng rushed up immediately, but the second floor was already empty. One of the rooms had an open window. Through the window, Zhang Heng saw the streets below running wildly while turning their heads back and forth. Seth turned to Annie.
"Catch them separately."
It can't be blamed on him not being cautious enough. After all, Zhang Heng just came here this time to have a talk with Seth, and he didn't plan to use any strong methods. The latter broke into Vincent's residence at night and scared the young ship doctor. Half-dead Wai didn't do anything too extreme, and it stands to reason that there was no reason to run away as soon as they met.
But it is useless to talk about this kind of thing now, Annie has already rushed downstairs, and Zhang Heng also turned out the window, and jumped to the top of another house with an exclamation.
He didn't intend to play Assassin's Creed, mainly because this area is a bit similar to Smoked Fish Alley, a famous slum area in Nassau, but unlike Smoked Fish Alley, the buildings here are mainly residential, and the layout is messy, which is difficult for escape. It is very beneficial for those who choose, and Seth has lived here for a long time, so he is more familiar with the terrain than Zhang Heng who just came here.
Only by using this method can Zhang Heng occupy a favorable observation position and ensure that no one is lost. In contrast, Anne is much more convenient. She only needs to follow Zhang Heng on the roof below.
At this time, Seth also saw the pursuers behind him, but instead of stopping, he ran faster. At the same time, he kept changing directions, using the surrounding terrain to block his sight behind him. Unfortunately, he still couldn't get rid of the condescending Zhang Heng. It also seemed more and more impatient.
Zhang Heng moved on the roof, so he didn't have to face the complicated environment on the ground, he just chose to move in a straight line. He had already exercised his balance very well after living at sea for a year and a half. He can always maintain a stable center of gravity.
Seeing that the distance from Seth was getting closer, Zhang Heng estimated in his heart that he would be able to jump off the roof in ten steps, but he didn't expect to fail at the most critical moment. The roof he just jumped on was probably due to disrepair. It suddenly split from the middle, and Zhang Heng reacted with the fastest speed, grabbing a wooden beam as he fell, but the wooden beam also broke in the next moment.
Seeing Zhang Heng fall into a small building, Seth's face showed a look of joy.
But then a figure rushed out from the alley on his left, and the other party kicked Seth in the chest without saying a word. The latter's body flew up uncontrollably and hit a wooden frame next to him. Regardless of the pain in his back, Si quickly got up from the ground, but he limped and ran less than two steps, and there was an extra saber around his neck.
After a while, Zhang Heng also came out of the small building next to him in disgrace.
He paid two gold coins to the old man who was basking in the sun at the door, and then he walked up to Seth.
"Why run away?"
Seth kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
"You were the one who sneaked into Vincent's room disguised as a monster last night, right?" Zhang Heng said again.
Hearing this, Seth finally had an expression on his face, and began to show panic.
"The storm we encountered at sea before, how did you do it, is it related to what you found on that Clark ship?" Zhang Heng continued.
This time, Seth finally couldn't keep calm anymore. He still had a little luck in his heart before. Zhang Heng came to him for other things. After all, he was the only one present when the incident happened, and no one else should have seen it. And the storm that followed, most people would not associate with him.
Seth didn't know how Zhang Heng suspected him.
It has to be said that after two successful voyages, Zhang Heng's prestige among the crew has indeed reached an astonishing level. After hesitating for a moment, Seth finally spoke.
"Sorry Captain, I... I didn't find that thing, she found me."
"Her?" Annie raised her eyebrows.
"After we parted, a woman's voice rang in my ears. She called herself Betty. I searched the warehouse but couldn't find the source of this voice."
"Betty?" Zhang Heng is no stranger to this name. This name has appeared countless times in the book of love poems. Before that, Zhang Heng thought that Betty was the captain's wife or lover, but now let's look at the owner of this name. I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"Why didn't you tell us about this?" the red-haired girl asked.
"I thought there was something wrong with my own spirit," Seth said. "That woman named Betty warned me that if I told you about this, you would treat me as a madman and throw me on that ship."
