48 Hours a Day

“The list you want, basically the names of all the connoisseurs in Nassau, is on it.” Marvin handed over a piece of paper while adding, "Two of them are on vacation and one has been on the exchange since morning, so it's really worth noting these two people.” Marvin points to the two names of the circles on the list, "he said.

“Thank you, you did well this time.” Zhang Heng's casual compliment made the farmer's son's face blossom.

Given the time constraints this time, Zhang Heng also had to gather as many help as possible. In addition to Marvin, two other pirates who had been rescued by him volunteered to help. When the four of them gathered in front of the pub door, Zhang Heng opened his mouth.

“Well, here's the plan, the guy named Jacob will definitely find a way to understand the value of the pearl first after he gets it so he can offer the buyer a price, so he will definitely get an appraiser to help identify it...”

“Wait, you said the pearl was lost in the morning, so what if he had already been identified in the morning?” The son of the farmer raised his hand.

“The experts on the island are busy and need to book at least half a day in advance. Of course, if you're willing to give them a price they can't refuse, then let them blow you on the spot. They're willing, but trust me, a man who's been poor for a long time and depends on theft can't afford this money.” Another pirate named Shilford, descended from the first immigrants, who grew up in Nassau, was familiar with the place, sort of like a groundsnake, he explained.

“That makes it possible for everyone on the list, but there are only four of us now, not even one of us. ”

“Forget the others, keep an eye on the two forensics who are on leave at home.” Zhang Heng decided after thinking, "If the guy had a brain, it should be possible to imagine that someone might be following him through the appraiser, so the best option is not to arrange a meeting with the appraiser, but to go directly to the door to visit him. For money sent to the door, even the appraiser on vacation is difficult to refuse. ”

“I think this will work.” The remaining pirate, Yamato, saw no further objections, and the four soldiers split into two separate routes to the residences of the two experts.

Zhang Heng and Marvin are a group whose target name is Randall, who is only 29 years old. He is very young in the appraiser business, but his reputation is not small, he is very good at appraising a wide variety of items, his valuation is accurate, and his appointments are constant every day, but he spends a day with his family every week.

His residence is right next to the market in the city of Nassau and one of the most bustling places, Zhang Heng and Marvin squatted in the grass shed opposite each other, placing some conch oysters and other things as if they were for sale.

Marvin looked at the sun outside the Eyegrass Shed, pulling his shirt carefully, “Well, wait, if there's a fight...”

“Don't worry, if there's a fight, I'll take care of it. Just stay with me. ”

The son of the farmer was a little embarrassed, “I was going to ask how I could help you...”

“The guy probably had a weapon on him, and he just gave his life for nothing. Believe me, you're here to help me the most.” Zhang Hengjingdao.

Marvin knew he was a scum fighter, but being said so directly still made him blush.

Zhang Heng then added, “Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It is not embarrassing to face their shortcomings. ”

The phrase also brightened the eyes of the farmer's son, who had been ridiculed by the pirates on board until he felt like he had finally met an acquaintance and had a reason for his cowardice.

Zhang Heng and Marvin chatted unknowingly.

In the afternoon, there were two waves of visitors to Randall's house. However, one wave was the island's black merchant and the other wave was Randall's wife's sister. It was obvious that neither wave could have been Jacob. The sun was about to set, and no progress was made even closer to the agreed half-day period. Similarly, there was no news from Shilford, and Zhang Heng could not help but begin to question his previous judgment.

Is it possible that the guy named Jacob wasn't as smart as he thought, that he made an appointment with three working connoisseurs, or that his judgment was correct, but he was worried that someone would catch him and not rush him, and he was going to wait for the wind to come and sell the pearls? In that case, it was almost impossible for him to catch the target before the agreed time.

No, no, based on the guy's financial situation, he can't wait that long. The sooner he can get rid of what he stole, the sooner he can drop the bag. Even if the loser finds him again, there's nothing he can do.

Zhang Heng was hesitating to see Randall's sister-in-law come out of the house again. She glanced around the basket and walked towards the other side of the road.

Zhang Heng knew he had to make a choice. In fact, it doesn't make any sense to think about other possibilities now. If his previous judgment is wrong, there is no time for him to rectify it. Instead of thinking nonsense, it is better to follow the original path and go all the way to black.

Zhang Heng drew a dagger and a short gun from the grass seat and told Marvin, "I'll leave this stall for you. If I see suspicious people show up after I leave, I'll go to Shilford and them. ”

Marvin's brain also moved quickly, and when he heard it, he immediately said, "Do you think that cunning guy wouldn't dare to show himself, but entrusted Aunt Randall with bringing things over for identification? ”

“I don't know, but it's the only way I can get the pearls back by sunset.” Zhang Heng followed the young woman from afar.

If he is still a little uncertain at first, then Zhang Hengzheng is confident after following the road. The woman in front is obviously more vigilant than the average passers-by. From time to time, she stops to look around. However, Zhang Hengzheng has excellent observation skills and does not need to follow too closely, so don't worry about being discovered by the other party.

In the meantime, Zhang Heng also considered whether to take someone down now, but when he thought about the mistake, or that the woman was carrying something other than the pearl, he had a headache. If there is no problem with the intelligence, his opponent should be just a little gangster in the city this time, and there is no need to worry too much about combat power, so it would be safer to wait for two people to deliver the goods.
