Smelting everything from pirates

Chapter 590 Talking to the Old Man

It took most of the night to transport the books and the corpse from the backyard of the villa and the hall on the first floor to a warehouse in the small town.

Originally, those warehouses were all used to store fish caught from hunting at sea, but now due to the scarcity of fish, few warehouses have been used.

So Barrett simply rented a warehouse for a little money, and put books and corpses in it.

Those old people who lived in the small town, those who hadn't drunk, all took a look, and they were all sure that the woman in front of them was Ms. Grant who had disappeared for a long time.

Originally, they thought that Ms. Grant had already left Blackwater Island early in the morning to enjoy a high-end life on the American continent.

But I didn't expect to live in the villa in the middle of Heishui Island all the time. It seems that the so-called werewolf people found in the jungle should be the Ms. Grant in front of me.

But those old people kept silent about Ms. Grant's past when they talked about it, as if they kept it secret.

This made both Barrett and Gloria feel some doubts in their hearts, and even curiosity about the past.

However, for Barrett, he had already obtained the book he wanted, the Book of Sothos. As for the remaining thing, he wanted to investigate what happened on this Blackwater Island.

"I'm going to spend half a day cleaning up all these books. Gloria, can I trouble you to invite a doctor to come to Blackwater Island and give Ms. Grant a good look to see if it's dead or alive."

At this time, Barrett saw Gloria and said.

Gloria next to her nodded. There are no professional doctors in this ghostly place of Heishui Island. If you really want to find a doctor, you can only go to New York.

But I guess in my heart, those top doctors in New York are not willing to come to work in such a ghostly place as Heishui Island.

It seems that it needs to spend a lot of money.

Gloria and several of his men helped Barrett assemble a few bookshelves before leaving the warehouse.

Barrett was alone outside the warehouse, counting the books, and some children were pointing at Barrett, but Barrett didn't want to respond to what they said, and was just alone. doing my own thing.

Just after Barrett cleaned up all the books, an old man sneaked up to Barrett's side. The old man's cloudy eyes were very flexible, and he looked like an old mouse, constantly walking around the warehouse look around.

Looking at Barrett, he whispered, "Do you really want to know about Ms. Grant? Actually, I know some of the villa's past, but I need a little reward."

Seeing the old man in front of him rubbing his fingers very nervously, Barrett took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and stuffed it in his hand, then smashed the revolver in his pocket on the table in front of him .

The old man looked at the hundred-dollar bill in his hand and took another look at Barrett's revolver on the table. He could only sigh in his heart and sat opposite Barrett.

"I hope you can be worthy of the banknote in your hand, otherwise I will use the revolver in my hand to repay you well."

It might be difficult for Barrett to deal with some monsters, but one bullet is enough to deal with ordinary people.

as the father said
"Who is the Pope? How many divisions are there?"

The old man sitting on the chair was obviously very nervous. He first ran outside the warehouse and closed the warehouse door.

Then he turned on the light in the warehouse, looked at Barrett cautiously, spoke in a very weak voice, as if he was not breathing.

"Ms. Grant is actually not a direct relative of the owner of the villa, but his adopted daughter. The owner of the villa has always been passed down in one line, and there is no specific name or surname. It has been circulated among us fishermen. I heard that this is the villa. The owner tried his best to request, so far, we only know the name of Ms. Grant, as for what happened to the villa and Ms. Grant, it will take a long time to talk about it."

Hearing what the old man in front of him said, Barrett nodded slightly, then poured a glass of white wine in front of him.

The old man's trembling fingers are obviously alcohol addiction. Many fishermen above the sea have alcohol addiction.

After all, the sea is too dangerous. If you can't drink, you can't bear the long-term loneliness and the constant scenery all year round.

After drinking the glass of white wine, the old man obviously regained his composure slowly, looked at Barrett and spoke.

"It was a long, long time ago. I don't remember very clearly. It should be after that incident that the lady's spirit became abnormal.
At that time, Ms. Grant suddenly came to the town and announced to us that she had become the owner of the castle. At that time, the castle had not been turned into a villa, but because Ms. Grant had been buying our fish, we were very grateful to her. When Ms. Grant became the owner of the castle, everyone in our town was very happy. "

"However, we feel strange things. A few years ago, Ms. Grant's parents suddenly announced that a mental hospital would be established in the rocky jungle in the north of Blackwater Island, although our specific work on the mental hospital is I don’t know what I’m doing, but I know in my heart that it’s not a good place, and the rocky jungle was originally a prison cell, but since it’s the request of the castle owner, we didn’t refuse.”

"After we repaired all the things in the mental hospital, strange things happened. After only one month, a fire broke out in the mental hospital. All the doctors and patients in the mental hospital were killed. died, but strangely, we have not found where the body is so far."

"Since that incident, the fishing boats fishing outside have gotten less and less harvest, and after a few years, a fire broke out in the villa. When we were repairing the villa, we heard that Grant Ma'am's request, that is, don't repair the third floor, but the strange thing is that after we repaired it for a few months, we suddenly repaired the third floor, and put a lot of these books in your warehouse in it, and it is very It is skillfully placed in each bedroom in exactly the same position as in the villa last time."

"Since the new villa was repaired and after that incident, we have never seen Ms. Grant again. At that time, we thought that Ms. Grant had left here due to the decrease in the number of fishing on Blackwater Island. I didn't expect Ms. Grant to stay on Blackwater Island."

Hearing the old man in front of him, Barrett poured him another glass of white wine after speaking. Although what the old man said seemed relatively simple, it was actually understandable.

The only thing that made Barrett feel a little doubtful was that the mental hospital and the cells were not located in the villa, but in the rocky jungle behind the villa.

"Why didn't Gloria and the others know about the cells in the mental hospital?" Looking at the old man in front of him, Barrett asked.

After gulping down the wine, the old man wiped the wine stains from his mouth, looked at Barrett and said, "In fact, apart from what happened in the villa, terrible things also happened in the cell. It was precisely because of that horrible incident that we did not tell Gloria and their children the exact location of the cell and the mental hospital, in fact to protect them."

The old man didn't want to continue talking after he said this. Of course, Barrett knew what he wanted to do, and took out a hundred-yuan bill from the wallet in his arms and put it in front of the old man.

"After listening to your story, I hope to hire you to take me to the mental hospital and the cell. If this can be done, the banknotes must be far more than this amount."

But the old man in front of him shook his head frantically like a wave drum after putting the hundred-yuan bill in his arms, and just said: "Young man, I see that you have been working on our Heishui Island before and helped us carry out The sale of bootleg alcohol, that’s why I’m willing to help you, and I would like to advise you one last thing, don’t go to the submarine prisons and those places in the mental hospital, it’s too dangerous.”

Hearing what this old man said made Barrett even more curious.

Seeing the expression on Barrett's face, the old man could only sigh, and at the same time talked about the horrible thing that happened in the cell.
