Upstairs, it was already midnight, the streets were empty, and the garment shops upstairs had already sealed their doors.

There is a curfew-like tranquility in New Orleans at midnight. Looking around, there is loneliness and coldness everywhere. Combining messy planning and the old and new city walls, it is like a long deserted ruin.

Lorraine had an illusion in his mind that the current New Orleans was a retaliatory correction to [Prosperity].

Why is the Drake Chamber of Commerce not so?

After a few years in a group, the Chamber of Commerce has been able to advance forward, in fact, because Lorraine applied contemporary rules to the entrepreneurial model of later generations.

The flagship and branch are mutually independent entrepreneurial teams that do not interfere with each other, cooperate to complement each other, and each play their own advantages to jointly build a business foundation.

Among them, Lorraine's flagship is the core of the three teams.

Lorraine is the brain and heart of the entire team. The seafarers form the spine and torso. The long sailors are limbs and skeletons. The crew members hired are blood, constantly supplying the body with nourishment.

At first glance, Lorraine is the only center of the team. But in fact, no Lorraine team will die, the seafarer class has problems, and the team is no different from death.

So Bell's problem cannot be overstated. This is not only related to Lorraine's personal emotions, but also related to the unity and trust of the entire team.

Testimony, evidence...

Lorraine carefully recalled every detail related to Bell.

So far, Bell's performance has been very good, his words and deeds are not like a ghost in his heart.

But it is precisely because of this that left and right are separated among the seafarers.

Henna and Pierce insisted that Bell had a problem.

Because excessive perfection itself represents a strange word, not to mention that Bell didn't have any problems even when he was alone, so vigilant that he could only say that his picture was too big.

Karen and Katerina are supporters of the innocence theory.

They insisted that Bell is an indispensable and important component of the smuggling operation. The two previous fights against the Lion had made great contributions, and their performance was sufficient to prove their innocence.

Of course, private contact with people in the Navy is definitely not appropriate, but since his testimony was perfect and he didn't show anything suspicious even when he was alone, then he should be trusted.

The extreme left is opposed to the extreme right, and the rest of the people are wandering in the midline. Everyone has their own position and thoughts. If one is not careful, the team will fall apart.

Lorraine felt throbbing pains in his temples.

"Bell, Bell, I'll leave you in the plantation and eat the soil if I knew it. Anyway, I won't starve to death..."

The night is shining in through the French windows, the clothing store is filled with clothes of various colors, and some puppets dance with them, without lights or fire, like a ghost domain.

Lorraine was silent among a bunch of dolls, and a seaman came in from time to time, found him, stood by his side, and stayed silent with him.

After a while, the Jackdaw was fully staffed except Bell. Lorraine scanned everyone's face and said softly, "Verify the testimony."

Catalina first spoke: "I confirmed to Bart that Baranbaatar’s daydream has been established for more than 40 years, not only doing business with the British, but also with French and Spanish. Its backstage is a profit-seeking Frenchman. , Has a certain foundation in the military, so the British have been his wallets for a long time."

"In other words, this intelligence point is not Shaq's or even British. Bell didn't lie about this matter?"

"Yes."

Lorraine turned to Keren again: "Emmons' testimony?"

"Ten days ago, someone introduced him to a big business, so he came to New Orleans for the purpose of selling intelligence."

"So simple?"

Karen spread his hands together: "Although he has said a lot, there is only so much content. He said that he entered the port eight days ago, and he had disputes with the ship owner at the dock because of the charter money. Charing confirmed that the captain, the dismissed sailor, and the pilot in front of the berth at the time all expressed their deep impression of him."

"Where are his four thugs?"

"The British pioneers don't know much. They were all hired by Emmons in Hamilton. It is impossible to judge this, but the testimony of the four people is consistent."

"Dripping water doesn't leak..." Lorraine scratched his head in boredom.

Combined with the current situation, Bell, Emmons, and even the four guards have nothing to doubt.

But Bell’s confession is so affordable that there are still many things that cannot be confirmed, such as Emmons’ motives, identity, and most importantly, the one that marked the details of the Continental Squadron’s rotation in the past three months and the detailed information of the commander. Authenticity.

If all is true, Bell is clearly interested in the Chamber of Commerce, so whether he remains in contact with the Navy becomes no longer important. I love to read the Chinese website

Because as one of the main messengers of smuggling, he smashed all this is equivalent to surrendering himself to confessing his guilt, guilty of meritorious service, and tainting witnesses. Although the rhetoric is beautiful, sin is sin, and pollution is pollution, and no one can get rid of it.

But if any of these pieces of information are forged, Bell's motives are questionable.

What his purpose is, where he intends to go, whether he is conscientiously discovering or deliberately undercover, whether he is behind the navy or Shaq, all have completely different meanings, and Lorraine has to face a completely different situation.

In the end... will you still go to Bermuda?

Lorraine sighed: "It's zero o'clock... It's July 29th, and the first contract expires on August 18th. There is still plenty of time."

"I'm going to Hamilton with Henna, where Chuck opened an exchange, and the manager is an old man from the Pansy. I have enough staff available there."

"But Hamilton is Shaq's lair, and it is easy for me to come out personally...Acharin, you and Daniel will go to Kingston, let Leonard get to Hamilton and meet me as quickly as possible. Be secret."

"As for the remaining people... continue to stay here to prepare the supplies for the third ship, and let Bell go on board, and Wang is also responsible for personal care. If there is anything unusual about him..."

Wang also laughed without a smile, and said softly in Chinese: "Kill people and kill their mouths, sink corpses in the deep sea, gods do not know, ghosts do not know."

Lorraine approved his arrangement with his eyes.

"Just arrange it like this...I will check things out as soon as possible."

"If there are any concerns that I may not have time to return to New Orleans... the Jackdaw must sail on August 10 at the latest. The sea is dominated by Catalina, and the land is dominated by Carmen. You need to find a free pilot. As a backup, Catalina is in charge of this matter."

After talking about all the arrangements, Lorraine shook his head.

"Rent a boat and prepare gifts... Carmen, it seems you can't sleep tonight, sorry."

"It's just my job, but I have collected money." Carmen stuck out his tongue playfully.

Her words and laughter resembled sunlight tearing apart the solemn atmosphere tonight.

It suddenly occurred to everyone that taking a risk with their heads was originally a privateer's job.

Whenever they will die is normal, no matter which side of Bell's position is, it is impossible to make them more dangerous.

That being the case, why bother to mediocrity?

Lorraine laughed freely for the first time: "Everyone~lightnovelpub.net~ Anything else is unclear?"

"Everything is up to the captain!"

"Sailors who can't trust trust can't set sail, because of Niold's disgust, they will never find the direction of the wind. If my mother doesn't lie to me... Good luck, friends."

"Wish our captain!"

...

The sorrow and joy and anger of the ready-to-wear shop cannot be passed down to the old tavern underground.

When it was about to dawn, the smiling king of hippie opened the door and picked up the smiling face of Bell.

Before leaving, Bell gave Emmons a vicious look with cannibal eyes, looking resentful, but Emmons saw the taste of [Don't act rashly].

Obviously he is only the executor of the plan, and I am worried that the planner will be uncomfortable...

Emmons lay down and closed his eyes like a false sleep.

He thought to himself that that glance may not only be as simple as [Don't act rashly], it may also contain the meaning of [Even if you die, don't struggle].

It's just... Is it worth it to die for Shaq?

"Personally, I dug me out of the sealed tomb. It will take ten years to pay back. I have repaid a loan shark of two thousand pounds. The lieutenant colonel's annual salary is eighty pounds, and it needs to be repaid for twenty-five years."

He muttered in a small voice that could only be heard by himself.

"I'm thirty-two this year, I owe thirty-five years, and I have already paid it back for six years...If you do this, I will be sixty-one years old. If I really die, I seem to have earned..."

"However, he is clearly prepared to this point, and he can't completely remove the suspicion. The suspicion is so serious, is this guy really only nineteen years old?"

"His cold-faced brother is much cuter than him..."

"I really want to play cards... If it doesn't work, leave me three pennies, and guess the odds and evens..."

"Work is really not a pleasant thing... Hey, go to sleep."
