48 Hours a Day

“It's okay, we're fine. We're just here to help.” Zhang Hengdao.

Seth's smile was somewhat forceful, when a woman's voice came from the house, "What's the matter, Seth, do you have a guest? ”

“It's Sean, and... uh, two friends. ”

“Aren't you gonna invite them in? ”

“I almost forgot,” Seth slapped his head, "it's a mess at home, don't mind. ”

After that, he moved the chair outside the house back into the house. Zhang Hengsan followed him and walked in with him.

“Tracy, go make some coffee for the guests.” Seth said to a full-bodied woman in the house, who was supposed to be his wife just after she married him, nodded, walked into the kitchen, and after a while her voice rang again, "Seth, do you know where Beth just gave the coffee beans? ”

“Oh, I know where it is, I'll get it.” Seth went upstairs as he spoke.

Half a minute later, that woman Tracy came out of the kitchen with a plate of mango in her hand, "Sorry, Seth put away all the kitchen utensils and stuff, and now there's only some fruit left in the house. ”

Zhang Heng picked up the fruit and thanked him. He chatted with Tracy for a while. The latter was very talkative, basically question-and-answer, and there was no caution. After a few words, Zhang Heng was almost certain that Seth had not told her what had happened on that Clark boat. She had no knowledge of what had happened last night, but thought that Tracy had spent the night at the new house.

Zhang Heng and Annie looked at each other and were basically certain that Seth was the person they were looking for, just waiting for him to go downstairs and stall him.

And then Sean whispered, “Is it going to take this long to get a coffee? ”

Tracy was a little embarrassed, "I'll rush him. ”

After that, she walked to the storage room beside her, and Sean cautioned, “Seth is upstairs. ”

“Second floor?” Tracy was stunned when she heard it, "but we just emptied the second floor, and there was nothing there. ”

Zhang Hengheng heard that he rushed up at the first time, but the second floor was empty. One of the rooms was opening a window. Zhang Hengheng saw Seth running back and forth to this side of the street through that window and turned to Annie Avenue.

“Separate chase. ”

This is not entirely to blame for his lack of caution. After all, Zhang Heng is only going to talk to Seth this time, and he is not going to use any hard means. The latter did nothing excessive except break into Vincent's residence at night and scare the young boat doctor to death. In principle, there is no reason to escape without meeting.

But now that this kind of thing is useless, Annie has rushed downstairs and Zhang Heng has turned out the window, jumping to the top of another house with a shout.

He didn't mean to play the Assassin's Creed, mainly because the area was a bit like Smoky Lane, a famous slum in Nassau, but unlike Smoky Lane, the building was dominated by houses, the layout was chaotic, it was good for the escapees, and Seth lived here for a long time, more familiar with the terrain than Zhang Heng, who had just arrived here.

Zhang Heng can only use this method to occupy a favorable observation position, to ensure that no one is left behind. By contrast, Annie is much more convenient. All she has to do below is follow Zhang Heng on the roof.

Seth also saw the pursuit behind him at this time, but instead of stopping, he ran faster, while constantly changing direction, using the surrounding terrain to obscure the sight behind him, unfortunately he was still unable to get away from Zhang Heng, who was at high altitude, and he was becoming more and more impatient.

Zhang Heng moved on the roof, but did not have to face the complex environment of the ground. Just choose a straight line to move. This year and a half of life at sea. His balance has been well exercised. Despite the high and low level of foothold, he has been able to maintain the stability of the center of gravity.

Looking closer and closer to Seth, Zhang Hengxin estimated that he could jump from the roof in another ten steps, but he didn't expect to lose any power at the most critical time. He had just jumped onto the roof, probably due to years of disrepair, suddenly split from the middle, Zhang Hengxing reacted at the fastest speed, caught a wooden beam in the process of falling, but the next moment the wooden beam also broke in response.

I saw Zhang Heng fall into a small building and Li Seth's face appeared delighted.

But then a shadow rushed out of the alley on his left. The other side kicked Seth's chest without saying a word. The latter's body flew uncontrollably and hit a wooden frame next to him. Seth climbed up quickly from the ground, despite the pain in his back. But he limped and ran less than two steps, and an additional army knife came out of his neck.

A little while later, Zhang Heng also walked out of the small building next to him.

He paid two gold coins to the old man at the door, who was in the sun, before he got to Seth.

“Why run away? ”

Seth shut up and don't talk.

“You were the one who snuck into Vincent's room last night disguised as a monster.” Zhang Heng added.

Seth finally got a look on his face and began to panic.

“The storm we had at sea before, how did you do it, related to what you found on that Clark boat?” Zhang Heng continued.

Seth was finally unable to remain calm this time. Before that, he had a little luck in his heart. Zhang Heng came to him for something else. After all, he was the only one present at the time of the incident. No one else should have seen it. After that storm, the average person would not be connected to him.

Seth didn't know how Zhang Heng suspected him.

It has to be said that after two successful sailings, Zhang Heng's prestige among the crew has indeed reached an alarming level. Seth hesitated for a moment and finally opened his mouth.

“Sorry Captain, I... I didn't find that thing, it was she who found me. ”

“Her?” Annie picked the eyebrows.

“When we split up, a woman's voice rang in my ear, calling herself Betty, and I searched the warehouse and couldn't find the source of that voice. ”

“Betty?” Zhang Heng is not unfamiliar with the name. The name has appeared countless times in this collection of love poems. Before that, Zhang Heng thought Betty was the captain's wife or lover, but I'm afraid it's not easy to see the owner of the name now.

“Why didn't you tell us about it?” The red-haired girl asked.

“I thought something was wrong with my own spirit," Seth said, “and the woman Betty warned me that if I told you about this, you would think I was crazy and leave me on that boat. ”
