Welcome, please remember the address of this site: , mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Devil Sage" at any time...

"Marina, what's wrong with you... are you sick? Peter told me that your mental state was not very good this morning, why don't you take a break?"

Outside the lab, Professor Cook, wearing a thick coat, slaps the dust off the brim of his hat.

"No, no problem. I just didn't sleep well last night. It wasn't because of the shipwreck. I was wondering what to do if I really saw a ghost."

The images of yesterday evening kept lingering in her mind, and Marina didn't know what was wrong with her at the time. People were talking to her, but she closed her eyes...

In the end, I didn't wait for what I wanted to say, and it made the other party very embarrassed.

"Professor, are you ready? Don't forget to bring an umbrella. It's not raining now, and we won't be sure in a while."

Donald came from the other side with his bag, and Finger was inside, a black umbrella in his hand.

His eyes stayed on Marina for a while. It would be a lie if he said that he didn't care about what happened yesterday. Marina is very beautiful, he had to admit it.

And she seems to be wearing some light makeup today, and the mature and intellectual temperament on her body is more prominent.

The place where the sunken ship was landed was in the west port of Xialin District. Donald read the newspaper, and it was said that it was towed back from the sea by two large ships.

The report mentioned that this ship is a merchant ship under the Greber Chamber of Commerce. It carried a lot of goods when it went to sea, and the salvage of the goods was only part of the reason. After all, the goods belonged to the goods, and the ship returned to the ship, and another part of the reason was to find out the sunken ship. The problem.

5 ships!

This number is the number of merchant ships that the Gleb Chamber of Commerce has recently sunk at sea.

This is not a small number. Now is no longer the era of wooden sailboats. The lethality of storms to steel ships powered by whale oil is extremely limited, and the corresponding ship construction costs are no longer comparable.

5 ships sank inexplicably. Once or twice was an accident. Three or four times, there must be a reason. This is also a great damage to the reputation of the Greber Chamber of Commerce. No Chamber of Commerce wants to leave their partners. Such an impression of a shipwreck professional.

In order to re-launch its name, the Greber Chamber of Commerce has released the news completely this time, and its momentum has grown louder. It is bound to reveal what went wrong in front of the public.

When he came to the vicinity of the port, Donald first saw the ship that was suspended in the wide square outside the shipyard on the edge of the port. The sky was a little gloomy, but it did not affect the line of sight.

The size of this merchant ship can only be said to be a medium-sized steel ship, which is larger than the one Donald took to sea before, but it is limited.

Perhaps because of the long immersion in the sea, there was still some wet seawater dripping down around the ship, and there were still some kelp and other marine goods hanging everywhere.

At this time, many reporters were already present, and there were also many people. The crowd swam around the boat. Most of the people were concentrated in the middle of the boat, where a small lecture platform was set up.

"Gentlemen and madams, it is an honor for our Gleb Chamber of Commerce to be able to come to today's conference. We will select a few lucky friends to distribute special gifts prepared by our Gleb Chamber of Commerce later in the conference. Gift......"

Someone stepped onto the podium and began to guide the rhythm of the scene. It seemed that he should be the host of this press conference.

"Fousent, the current deputy director of the Greber Chamber of Commerce, is actually hosting the press conference today. It seems that they attach great importance to this event."

Marina follows current affairs and is familiar with tasks that often appear in newspaper pages.

"It's a pity that I can't check the situation right now, and I don't know how their process is arranged."

Professor Cook doesn't care who is on the lecture stage. His eyes are always focused on the broken hole in the middle of the ship, which is the main direct cause of the sinking of the whole ship. Anyone with good eyesight can see this.

The hole with a diameter of nearly two meters and the concave broken iron piece means that the damage must be caused by an external impact, otherwise the iron piece cannot appear in this state.

However, judging from the waterline on the ship's side, that void should not have been in the sea during the voyage.

This ruled out the case of pirate shelling, the iron plate of the ship where something broke from the sea!

"Recently, many people have spread rumors that our Gleb Chamber of Commerce deliberately created shipwrecks to earn insurance premiums, but in fact there was no shipwreck at all... I think this scene in front of me should be a lie enough to break everything. , isn't it? We invited a special team of maritime experts to find out the cause of the ship's accident on the spot. I want everyone to understand that we, Greeber, will never do those nasty things, the sinking of the ship. , has absolutely nothing to do with us Gleb!"

The deputy director on the podium was so emotional when he talked about deliberately creating a shipwreck to cheat insurance premiums, and even raised his tone a few degrees.

"Do you know what it means to deliberately create a shipwreck accident and sink your own ship?"

Donald looked at the resentful deputy director on the lecture stage, his eyes widened, as if to say that anyone who dared to mention this matter in front of him would go down and share life and death with others, which made him unable to help what the deputy director said. things get curious.

Because the crowd was crowded and mixed, the three of them were very close together, and Donald's head was actually not far from Marina. The latter could only tilt his head back when he saw his face, and forcibly refused to let Remember what happened yesterday,

"These chambers of commerce don't actually own too many ships, and their cargo transportation is often by hiring ships under the name of some fleets. In order to ensure the safety of the goods, before going to sea, the fleet and the chamber of commerce will sign a cargo agreement. In the insurance contract, if the ship-to-shore cargo is damaged or lost, the fleet responsible for the transportation will pay the corresponding value of money.”

Keeping herself calm and stroking her thoughts, Marina continued,

"About half a year ago, the Greber Chamber of Commerce lost a large ship of goods due to the sinking of a ship going to sea. For this reason, the fleet compensated for the price of the goods in full. According to the terms of the insurance contract, this is a reasonable compensation, but later The fleet heard some rumors from somewhere, saying that the goods that Gleb Merchant would let them transport were actually some unsalable goods that were prepared to be cleared by a big discount. After the ship went to sea, they secretly hired another one. The team intercepted at sea, killed everyone on the ship after capturing the ship, and then sank together with the ship... This incident was very noisy at the time, but in the end the person in charge of that team was Failed to produce key evidence, and finally was sentenced to full compensation."

While Marina explained the compensation incident, the problem detection of the maritime expert team was still in progress, but these people had been arguing around the breach, and some of them were constantly flipping through books.

This situation made the reporters in the periphery smell the hot news and began to constantly ask what the ultimate cause of the sinking was.

The deputy director of the Gleb Chamber of Commerce on the lecture stage was also a little strange at this time. The team of maritime analysis experts he hired cost a lot of money, and he was counting on them to rehabilitate the Gleb Chamber of Commerce. After an hour, the most crucial conclusion still could not be drawn.

"The gifts distributed by the Chamber of Commerce will be delivered to you, and the next step is the gift-giving link I promised you..."

The gift that was originally planned to be brought out at the end of the press conference was ahead of schedule, the deputy director stepped down, and immediately found his assistant and asked,

"What's going on? Didn't they say that they could definitely find out the reason within half an hour? It's been an hour, and they haven't figured out what they want to do!"

Some of these reporters were hired for money, and the deputy directors are not worried that they will leave. The key lies in those people. They largely represent Demingham's wait-and-see attitude towards the Gleb Chamber of Commerce. There are many working chambers of commerce and investigators in the consortium, if they can't come up with a satisfactory conclusion later.

The consequences are unimaginable for the deputy director!

"Vice Chairman, they said..."

"Don't be hesitant, just say whatever you want. It's all over here. What the **** are you hesitating about and don't want to do it anymore?"

The deputy director was also anxious, grabbed the assistant's shoulder, and scolded him in a deep voice.

"They said the hole in the boat was caused by the anchor..."

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but this conclusion is too unbelievable. The anchor smashed the side deck?

"You go and tell them, I give them 10 minutes, if I can't give a reasonable explanation, treat me as an idiot, okay, if I get punished by the board, they don't think it's better, I want them all to eat Let's go! The anchor smashed the side deck? They might as well just tell me that a sea monster smashed the ship armor like a walnut, at least it has some credibility!"

The vice-chairman covered his forehead. UU read www.uukanshu.com. He didn't expect that he was spending money to invite a group of people who were not very clear-headed. Now it's not a question of whether he believes it or not, the reporter and the public believe it or not. The real key!

Turning his back to the crowd, the muscles in his face twitched with anger.

However, it is useless to get angry about this kind of thing. Those experts discussed urgently for ten minutes, and finally came up with the result that the anchor was caused by the anchor. They even found the anchor stuck in the cabin, but no one could explain why. The anchor will appear there.

"Gentlemen and ladies, according to our final investigation, the sinking of the vessel was caused by the impact of the anchor..."

No matter how reluctant the vice chairman was to say this conclusion, in the end he had to bite the bullet and explain. He felt that there was nothing more shameful than saying such absurd and unruly things in public.

"Appreciate~"

Amidst the boos representing the contempt of the people, the sky was getting dark and raindrops were falling.

It wakes up.
