Chapter 3176 The Detective is about to die (Twenty-seven)
Schiller looked at the next letter, this time it was also written by Jeff. In the letter, he kept complaining about his difficult life recently. His eldest son was getting married, his second son was unemployed, his wife was sick again, and his youngest daughter was about to go to school. He had no choice but to sell a few sheep, but there were not many livestock in the family, and breeding next year would still be a problem.
This letter let Schiller know that Jeff had no money, and his family was indeed engaged in breeding. It is not accurate to call it breeding. In fact, it is just an ordinary family raising some animals, which can be eaten by themselves or sold for money. Jeff's family mainly raises goats, and they are the kind of popular edible goats.
Many people may think that the sheep they eat for meat and the sheep they shear for wool are the same, but in fact, sheep are not very delicious, especially sheep used for shearing, which are even less delicious. On the contrary, some specially bred goats have a very good taste and flavor.
Schiller looked at the next letter and found that it was from Jeff again, but this time his handwriting showed how excited he was.
Sure enough, the letter said that the fleet owner had finally started recruiting again and had taken a fancy to him. He was planning to have him go out to sea on the first ship next year, and the price he offered was quite good, enough for his little daughter to go to school.
Schiller looked at the date on the postmark of the letter and found that it was very close to the outbreak of the incident, that is, a few days before his sheep was lost.
In this letter, Jeff praised the fleet owner highly, saying that he was worthy of being the big boss from Connecticut, and he also prayed that his wife's illness would get better soon, so that he might give red envelopes to the sailors when he was happy.
Schiller immediately grasped the key point in this nonsense, which is that the fleet owner was from Connecticut, and Yale University was also in Connecticut, which was definitely not a coincidence.
Schiller did not know the exact location of Madeleine's hometown, but in her letters she mentioned that even if her university was not that far from her old house, she did not dare to go back to see it, which proves that Madeleine's hometown might also be in Connecticut.
Schiller had never heard of the medical insurance company mentioned in Madeline's letter, which proved that it was probably not a national giant, but might be a medical insurance company in a certain state.
The class segregation in the US medical insurance system is very severe. Not everyone can buy insurance from large companies. Various review processes are quite strict, and there are also various complex legal restrictions. It is already troublesome enough for local residents to spend so much money on insurance every month. Even if they have money, they may not be able to buy the package they want.
Some middle-class families who are not very wealthy usually choose to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix. They can use their budget to customize their own packages at local insurance companies, and enjoy various discounts. But if they take it to a national-level medical insurance company, others will not think highly of it, and naturally there will be no discounts, so they usually prefer the former.
In other words, there is a high possibility that Madeline's family will choose to buy insurance from a local health insurance company in Connecticut.
Although the fleet owner does not seem to be very rich now, Jeff said in his heart that he had a very big business in the past, so it is possible that he has invested in this mysterious Siltec Medical Insurance Company and is at least a major shareholder.
Did Madeline come back here for revenge?
Schiller thought that Madeline might have some way to restrain the Wanderer, so she brought the Wanderer here, intending to use the Wanderer to kill the fleet owner, and then use the suicide method she had researched to try to kill the Wanderer, so as to avenge herself.
But what puzzled Schiller was that, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Connecticut is not a very wealthy state, but people who can do big business here, no matter how poor they are, would not fall back to such a small village and hire a group of sailors to sail, right?
This fleet owner must have a big problem, Schiller thought, and his wife's so-called strange disease is also a bit wrong. If it is a normal disease, then he should go to a good hospital in a big city. Even if it is related to weirdness, he should go to the church. Why did he come to this small village? What is there to worry about here...fish!
Schiller suddenly had an idea: there are fish in the underground river!
Schiller had long felt that this fish seemed to have some special effects, and that the underground river was very abnormal. Logically speaking, even the streams on the ground with abundant wild fish resources would not have so many fish. Could this thing be man-made?
Schiller's nose twitched. He remembered that the fish in the stomachs of the two corpses gave off an amazing stench after being taken out. The fish that could emit such a fishy and smelly odor was not a freshwater fish, but more likely a marine fish.
Although freshwater fish has some earthy smell, it is completely different from the smell of marine fish. That strong fishy smell is more like that emitted by marine fish when they rot.
In other words, these fish may not exist naturally in the underground river, and even the underground river may not exist naturally, but someone deliberately created such a river and then put the fish in it.
Combined with the identity of the fleet owner, the answer becomes obvious. This guy is not a professional fleet worker at all. He bought a boat and hired people to go out to sea to salvage, most likely to catch this special fish.
Schiller felt that if he guessed correctly, the effect of this fish should be aimed at abnormalities, such as being able to dispel curses, or keeping abnormalities away from you temporarily.
Assuming that the strange incidents are viruses, then the fish may be an antidote. This boss caught so many fish but did not sell them outside. Instead, he kept them in the dark river. It is possible that he is hoarding vaccines and waiting until the strange incidents expand so that he can stand up and become the savior, thus gaining both fame and fortune.
Schiller looked at the last letter, which was written by the owner of the diary. He had a hunch that there should be some important information in this letter.
But at this moment, several people who went to explore other rooms came back. Seeing Schiller holding a stack of letters in his hand, they immediately started asking questions.
"What is this? Is it a letter? What's in it?"
Schiller simply raised his gun and said, "Don't come over here. If you move any closer, I'll shoot you."
"Don't be like that." Bruce took a half step forward and said, "We are still a team now, and the information we obtain should be shared."
"Then tell me first, what special abilities do you have?"
"Uh……"
Schiller opened the letter while pointing the gun at them. The first sentence made his pupils shrink.
"Andesi, it's time to stop. Sirtek has no intention of saving the world. His so-called vaccine research and development is just a lie. The laboratory is just an empty shell. The fish he hired the team to catch are just to sell to those rich people who can pay a high price after the monster spreads. We can't help him anymore."
"No matter what you think, I will take action in a few days. I will expose the lies of this damn liar and make his evil plan go down the drain. Whether you are willing to cooperate with me or not, I will do it."
The amount of information revealed in these few short sentences is shocking.
First of all, the fleet owner’s name is Sirtek, which means that he is not only the owner of Sirtek Insurance Company, but also very likely the founder and leader of the company.
Secondly, just as Schiller expected, he hired a team to catch these fish for the purpose of developing vaccines, or ostensibly for the purpose of developing vaccines, and he also contacted locals like the diary owner Harold and the lighthouse keeper Andrews to cover up the secret of the fish for him.
Finally, Sirtek has a laboratory. Although it is very likely just an empty shell, it is very likely to contain some information about fish, and Harold, the owner of the diary, seems to want to expose Sirtek.
Schiller immediately thought that after they entered the underground cave, he had seen another road on the opposite side of the dark river, but he did not go there because he considered the river unsafe. Could that road lead to the laboratory?
Then he realized a terrible fact - the main universe Batman who played the role of Harold, the owner of the diary, might have anticipated the current situation.
Because everything about the medical insurance company Siltec may have been made up by the Batman of the main universe. This is the background story he set for himself.
Since he dared to make up such a story, he must have expected that Sirtek would not take no action. Once the other party knew that he wanted to expose all this, he would definitely take action against him. Whether it was before or after the game started, he would definitely suffer a heavy loss.
And he was indeed seriously injured now, and because of his injury, everyone except him left him there. Night Owl originally planned to stay, but in the end he followed out. Schiller felt that he was missing half an arm and was not a big threat, so he acquiesced.
In other words, the main universe Batman is the only one left in the room now, and no one knows what skills he possesses.
Although it is unlikely that a hunter has medical skills, he has participated in the previous battles after all. As an expert in wilderness survival, he should be able to use skills such as first aid to restore his health. He did not do so before in order to make people think that he was dying so that he could be left alone.
After realizing this, Schiller threw down the rest of the letters, holding only the last one, put away his gun, rushed out the door as fast as he could, and quickly went down several floors to the first floor.
When they returned to the room they had originally come from, sure enough, the figure lying on the ground had disappeared.
Schiller swore, but was followed by others who rushed into the room with him, swearing even more foully.
Schiller turned, raised his gun, and aimed.
boom!
The shotgun bullet flew out, aiming at Greed's brows. The next second, a sinister voice sounded.
"The battle begins..."
Time should have stopped the moment the battle began, but greed responded instinctively.
"Whoosh!"
A blade of wind split the bullet in two.
After being stunned for two seconds, Greedy finally realized that he had been exposed. He raised his eyes and stared at Schiller and said, "You lunatic!"
No bullets
