Quenched long order

Chapter 59 Tickets and Clues (Thanks to the leader Rabbit Zi for the reward!)

The search is ongoing. Although the soldiers are dedicated to their duties, the island at night can hide everywhere. What's more, the soldiers don't actually know this area. For the soldiers, there is no need to know. When they are stationed on the island, they will naturally leave here.

Ten minutes later, there was still no sign of Regis.

The burning flames of the wooden house gradually extinguished, leaving only the charred ruins on the ground, and the pungent smell filled the air, making it difficult to calm down.

Shaoer felt a change in his surroundings. He immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. The place he was looking at was the path from the trading market to here. In the past days, every time he went to the trading market, he would take this road.

For fear of being attacked, he has been using the ability of air perception. As long as there is a large breathing creature around him, he can immediately find it, unless the other party suppresses breathing deliberately.

"It's me." A high voice came.

Saul felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

As the chunky black figure walked out from the path, the red top hat immediately came into Sauer's eyes. He might forget the name of the person in front of him, but he would never forget this slightly funny attire.

"Bill?" But Saul's memory is good, he called out the name of the person in front of him.

The short and fat man walked carefully, and when his face appeared under the light of the torch, a hypocritical smile appeared on his slightly greasy face.

"Bill Wellington?" Sauer added. He vaguely remembered the request from the other party when they met for the first time, but as soon as he said this, he realized that the request was not the full name. "Mr. Wellington?" Finally, Sauer found the words in his mind.

"No, no, no, no." Bill quickly smiled and waved his hands, "Master Saul, please don't call me that, it's too alien, just call me Bill, it's more kind." After he finished speaking, he laughed "hehe" and stopped at the same time. His shrewd eyes kept looking at Saul, paying attention to the latter's movements.

Before Saul answered, he rolled his eyes and continued in a high voice:
"I'm really ashamed to say that after I came to Stewart Island, I kept thinking about when I would meet the nobleman. Unexpectedly, ten days ago, this nobleman stood in front of my eyes like a rising star. It's a pity that I was blind at that time and failed to seize this precious opportunity. At this moment, I really want to go back to that evening and teach myself a lesson."

Sauer knew what Bill meant. When he handed in the lamp, the extinguishing of the lamp would cause a series of follow-up effects. However, he didn't think much about it. After all, Bill was just following the rules. If he didn't report it, if something happened, such as the miners were polluted and suffered losses, he would probably be responsible. However, this didn't mean he had a good image of Bill.

"Speak the truth."

He watched Bill's stiff movements and said something softly.

Bill opened his mouth, as if he had something to hide.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?" Saul asked loudly.

"Actually, Lord Saul, that's what happened." Bill took two steps forward, swallowed the saliva into his throat, and then he licked his lips and said tremblingly, "I... I heard a... news by accident today, the cargo ship... the cargo ship seems not to arrive at Stewart Island, so... no, I mean, I'm not sure, the cargo ship may not come, and then I found out that the Stewart is being renovated, but, I, I may not be eligible to board the ship, I don't know if Master Saul can..." Speaking of Here, his voice became very soft, "...speak a few words of kindness to Mr. Inspector, and give me a boat ticket..."

After listening to Bill's words, Shaoer immediately understood Bill's intentions. The current situation on the island is unknown, the spread of pollution, miners' turmoil, and the black fog in the mine, all of which mean that the island is no longer safe.

Desperation has long enveloped Stewart Island. The reason why it has not completely rioted and turned into a hell on earth is because there is still a spare ship named Stewart.

"I can't help it." Saul shook his head. His refusal was straightforward, not only because he was not familiar with Bill, but because he didn't even know whether his ticket with Garland could really be honored.

After Bill heard the answer, his legs trembled, and he knelt down on the ground. Then, he said in a crying voice: "Master Saul, you...you must help me. My wife and daughter are still waiting for me to go back. When I arrive at Westwood Port, I will donate half of my property to you as the cost of buying the boat ticket."

Saul took two steps back, still shaking his head, "You might as well offer your property directly to the inspector."

Bill came forward on his knees.

"Enough." Saul took out his sword and stood in front of him, "My own ticket is not stable, how can I help you? You might as well find another way."

"I..." There were tears in Bill's eyes, and then he cried out with a "wow", like a child weighing two hundred catties.

Saul curled his lips and ignored Bill.

"By the way, Lord Saul." Seeing Saul's indifference written all over his face, Bill's crying was fleeting, he slowly got up from the ground, "I... Actually, I have one more thing, I don't know whether I should tell you, it's about... about..." His face showed embarrassment.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't need to say it." Saul replied softly.

"...It's about Kerry." Bill stood up straight, raised his hands, and raised his hat. "But I didn't see clearly at the time, so I didn't dare to tell you about it."

Hearing the name "Kerry", Saul's eyes changed, he stepped forward, stood in front of Bill, looked down at Bill, "What's wrong with Kerry?"

Bill took two steps back, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and then he said in a muffled voice, "Yesterday...yesterday, no, it was the day before yesterday. The night before yesterday, I happened to see Regis and Kerry walking towards the cliff of the island together. At that time, I was curious about what they were doing there so late, but I didn't see too clearly, so I'm not sure, please, please forgive me."

Island cliffs.

Before, Shaoer surveyed the entire island. Although it was not very detailed, he had been to most places, or at least took a look at it from a distance.

There is only a part of the habitable area on Stewart Island, and the other part is too steep to be suitable for habitation. The so-called cliff is on the other side of the island.

"Take me there." Saul said, and then he thought of something, raised his right hand, "Wait, Bill, why were you there?"
