C2667 Suspicion(1)

Li Changting and Elder Brother Yang looked at each other and pondered for a moment when they heard Faang Cheng's words. Then, Elder Brother Yang took the lead and cleared his throat.

"I've always been on night watch with Zhang Ao during the first half of the night. Let me explain the situation at that time first!"

Elder Brother Yang recalled for a while, then started to talk about the situation when he and Zhang Ao were on night watch together.

"After dinner last night, Captain Han and everyone else returned to the cabin to rest, while Zhang Ao and I stayed in the cockpit to guard the night! In fact, nothing out of the ordinary happened during the first half of the night. We just checked the direction of the voyage and saw that there was no mistake. After that, we added wood, coal, and maintained the firepower output! If there was anything that was different from usual, it would be... I felt that Zhang Ao seemed to be a little agitated. I had been in a daze all night, and when I could rest, I would find a place to sit down and rest for a while, but Zhang Ao hadn't been able to sit down quietly all night. He usually wasn't very diligent, but last night he had been on the move, looking for a course, a fire, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on and so forth, and not a moment's silence! I also told him to sit down for a while, not to keep looking. He sat there for a while, and then got up and started walking again."

Old Yang told Faang Cheng and the others about what had happened in the middle of the night.

"He's restless? It sounds as if Zhang Ao has something on his mind. He has been nervous all this time, making him unable to calm down!"

Yu Yien thought and said.

"Well, that's how people are before they do bad things. For example, every time I carry Xiao Qi to the bar for a drink, I get so fidgety that I can't sit down no matter how hard I try..."

Lee Zhaowen used himself as an example.

"You still have the nerve to say that?"

Xiao Qi rolled her eyes at Lee Zhaowen, making Zhou Zhiqing laugh.

Faang Cheng nodded, and roughly understood Zhang Ao's general situation when he was on shift. Then, he looked at Li Changting who was at the side!

Li Changting knew that Faang Cheng wanted him to say it, so he nodded and took a step forward to tell him about the matter before and after he switched shifts with Zhang Ao and the others.

"After dinner, Big Brother Yang and Zhang Ao went to the driver's seat to guard the night shift, so I followed the other sailors back to the bedroom in the cabin to sleep! The first half of the night had been very peaceful, and nothing had happened. Until the end of the Hai hour, I woke up on time and even woke Choshunior Susukino up. Then I went to the cockpit to take over Zhang Ao's shift! At that time, when we walked to the driver's seat, we saw..."

" What did you see? "

Noticing that Li Changting had suddenly stopped in his tracks, Faang Cheng hurriedly asked.

"When I went in with Choshunior Susukino, Big brother Yang was resting there with his eyes closed. But Zhang Ao had been walking back and forth in the driver's seat, sometimes pulling out a chair to sit down, sometimes going to the window to look out at the sky. Even when we walked in... he didn't notice us at first, but when we called out to him, he was shocked, and only then did he realize we were already here!"

Li Changting told the truth, and Wang Chunsheng nodded his head to show that it was just as Li Changting had said!

"So... What about after that?"

Faang Cheng continued to ask.

"Later on, when Brother Yang saw that Choshunior Susukino and I had arrived, he told me that he wanted to bring Zhang Ao back to rest, and Zhang Ao also said that... the coal that had just been burned hasn't been lit yet, so he wanted to watch it for himself, and wait until it was lit before returning! However, I thought that by then, it was already midnight, so he and Big Brother Yang must be sleepy. That's why he said that Choshunior Susukino and I would look after it, and let them return first! Thinking about it now... Zhang Ao might not have wanted to go back with Brother Yang at the time, so he suggested that he stay behind to keep an eye on the fire!"

Li Changting analyzed the situation based on his own thoughts!

After hearing Li Changting's words, Faang Cheng remained silent for a moment and then nodded his head to show that he agreed with his point of view!

"I think that Zhang Ao must want to do something, that's why he wants to separate from Brother Yang and act on his own accord!"

Lee Changting guessed.

"That's right, that's right, that's right. He seems to have been trying to act alone all this time! Later on, when we went to the bedroom in the cabin, he suddenly said that he wanted to relieve himself. After that, he separated from me! After that, I was really too tired, so I went back to the bed and fell asleep. Everyone will know what happened after that!"

Big Brother Yang hurriedly nodded his head.

" You want to go to the toilet? "

Hearing Old Yang's words, Faang Cheng could not help but fall into deep thought.

"Which means that Zhang Ao hasn't been back since then. And it's very likely that he didn't relieve himself, but went to the bottom of the cabin and did something that we don't know about!"

Faang Cheng seemed to be talking to himself.0

"Although it seems that Zhang Ao is indeed the most suspicious person at the moment, but... how did he manage to dig out such a huge hole in the bottom of the boat? Where are the tools used? Does he really have such a great ability? Why did he fall into a coma after the hole was dug, and was almost drowned by the surging sea water? All of this... doesn't seem to make sense!"

Yuan Yue looked at Zhang Ao, who was still lying unconscious on the deck, and said in confusion!

"Indeed, all of these are very strange problems. It seems to be very contradictory for him alone!"

Faang Cheng nodded.

"Hmm... To be honest, I also feel that Zhang Ao doesn't seem to have such ability, or rather, such boldness! Although he is a little petty, usually he likes to be cynical, hate the rich, and is even willing to take advantage of others, but for such a serious matter, I keep feeling that he doesn't dare to do it! We all know Zhang Ao's abilities very well. The little bit of spirit power in his body is not even as good as mine. If this ship really sinks, wouldn't he also be buried in the sea? He wouldn't dare! He's the one who cherishes his life the most among us!"

Li Changting understood Zhang Ao's character. He always felt that Zhang Ao didn't seem like someone who could do such a big thing.

"Take advantage? Revenge for the rich?"

Hearing those two words, Yu Yien suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Faang Cheng.

"Has Miss Zhou's gold, silver, and jewelry in the warehouse been checked?"

He asked lightly.

"Hmm?"

At first, Faang Cheng was slightly taken aback, but then he immediately reacted as if he understood what Yu Yien meant!

"Come, let's go and take a look!"

With that, Faang Cheng walked towards the warehouse below the cabin, and the group of people followed closely behind!

Meanwhile, the people who owned the treasures continued to follow behind them at a steady pace, as if they were not worried about anything happening to the treasures.
