Lorenzo said all this confidently. He liked it this way. Although he didn't say it directly, it felt like he was humiliating Shrike's intelligence.
Shrike remained silent, and it was always the same every time. Just when he was about to pull the trigger and kill the damn detective, he would always prove his worth and then get really pissed off.
"That's your plan, to borrow those medical examiners?"
Lorenzo nodded.
"Shrike, you have to admit that everyone has their own expertise. I've attended classes at the Royal Medical College before." Lorenzo's face had a distorted look as if he was recalling a nightmare.
"To be honest, this is the first time I feel confused about knowledge."
"Of course you have your uses, otherwise I wouldn't come to this damn place in the lower city to see you."
Lorenzo was always so confident and didn't care at all that Shrike had just pointed a gun at him.
"Shrike, I came here mainly to ask you some questions."
"What's the problem?"
Shrike put the gun on the table and fell into Lorenzo's rhythm again. He was obviously his employer and the leader of the entire downtown area, but when Lorenzo started to speak at length, he would always unconsciously be inferior to him.
Just like a teacher and his students, Lorenzo is the bad teacher. He doesn't teach his students anything, but only plays with their minds to show his own excellence, as if he can feel satisfied from it.
"Shrike, I need to know the full story of this case."
Lorenzo stared at the Shrike, his blurry figure reflected in the unique blue-green eyes of the Ingveg people.
"A sailor with a secret you want to know... Shrike, I'm a detective, not a writer. I need to know the whole story to find out everything, otherwise I will just go home and try to make up a reasonable story for you."
Grabbing the edge of the table, Lorenzo pulled himself over and approached the Shrike. The two looked like close friends.
"So, are you interested in talking?"
Lorenzo asked with a smile.
…
The story begins half a month ago.
According to Inglés's laws, there is a closed fishing season from mid-June to mid-September, and all fishing boats are anchored at the port and prohibited from going out to fish. However, one day half a month ago, a fishing boat arrived at the port of Rendona in the fog.
"My people have been tracking that ship for a long time. They set out from the Viking Kingdom of Nobita. During this period, they changed their route and passed through the Ice Sea. Finally, they arrived at the port of Rendonna half a month ago."
"It doesn't sound suspicious. During the fishing ban every year, many fishing boats will fish from other waters and finally send the fish to Jiudunling."
Lorenzo said as he listened.
"The problem is that their fishing boats didn't unload their cargo after they moored, and no one came out. They just stayed at the dock. After being exposed to the sun for a few days, the fish and shrimp started to stink, which attracted people's attention."
"So... is this fishing boat worth anything?"
This is an essential question. Everything has its value, even this fishing boat, a fishing boat that has not unloaded its cargo. Lorenzo couldn't understand how he had alarmed the big shot like Shrike.
