The navy officer in charge of the inquiry found that Rocks was not very suspicious. After asking his superiors for instructions, Rocks was sent out of the naval base.

"Sorry for wasting your time."

Send Rocks out of the gate of the naval base, and the escorting sailors salute and apologize to him.

Rocks seemed unconcerned and said with a grin:

"It doesn't matter. You also want to catch the criminals who destroy the peace at sea as soon as possible. In the final analysis, it is not to allow civilians to sail on the sea with more peace of mind. I can completely understand you."

"Thank you very much for your understanding."

Rocks' words penetrated deeply into the minds of the sailors. Why do they patrol the sea so exhaustingly every day?Isn’t it just to be able to see the trust and understanding in the eyes of the people!

Watching Rocks leave, the sailor was secretly excited in his heart. He must patrol harder so that more people can trust the navy!

……

After hugging Liz and returning to the ship immediately, Edward asked quickly:

"Captain, are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's just a routine inquiry from the Navy. We haven't done anything wrong, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

As soon as he said this, Edward was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the hand under Locks' cloak gesturing to him secretly:

Don’t say too much yet.

It was getting late now, and under normal circumstances no sailboat would choose to set sail. In addition, Rocks had just been taken to the base for questioning by the navy. If he left at this time, it would appear that he was harboring suspicion.

Simply spend one night at the dock and sail again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

……

For dinner, Liz tried to make island delicacies based on recipes. Although she was not very skilled yet, she still received praise from everyone on the ship, which gave her a lot of courage to continue trying.

After the dinner, Rocks found Kate and found him standing on the deck silently drinking wine. He walked over and snatched the bottle aside.

"The wounded should stop drinking all the time."

"I..." Kate subconsciously wanted to complain, but the next moment she remembered that she was no longer on the merchant ship, and she was no longer the boss she was before, so she had no choice but to lean on the railing, look at the sea and muttered:

"As long as we send this batch of goods to the next island for trading, we should be able to make a lot of money."

Rocks had seen the goods before when he had nothing to do. Most of them were bottles and jars of stuff that seemed to be collectibles, but he had not seen much of the bloody red wine.

Hearing Rocks' question, Kate felt even more depressed.

Because the red wine had sunk to the bottom of the sea with his merchant ship, he originally chose to keep it in the cabin for safety. However, the whole army was wiped out. I don’t know when the next time he wants to go back to get some red wine will be.

But Rocks' next words made Kate's face change from surprise to joy:

"Our next goal may be that food island. After you sell this batch of goods, we will go there, okay?"

"Of course!"

In fact, once this batch of goods is sold, Kate will have nothing that can be used as a commodity. If she wants to continue trading goods, she can only go to the small islands with specialty products to purchase, but the nearest source of supply is here It's at least a month away, so it's not a big deal to go to the food island first.

The two of them determined the next direction of travel, and then returned to their respective rooms to rest.

After completing this business, Rocks felt that he should be able to expand the fleet. After all, there were only four people including Liz, and it always felt that the number of people was still too small.

……

Silent all night.

When the sky got slightly brighter, Locks slowly woke up.

This time he had another strange dream. The voice in the dream kept cursing him, but this time the content was not understandable. Rocks could only vaguely see the other party's blurred face and lips that kept opening and closing. With his frown, he guessed that the other party was scolding him.

"Have I done anything immoral recently? Why do I always dream about strange things like this?"

Well, maybe destroying a warship can be considered a bad thing, but at least it was for self-protection, and it was not a provocation on my own initiative.

With this comfort in his heart, Rocks got up and washed himself.

……

Naval Base.

"Didn't they go to sea?"

"Yes, after leaving the naval base yesterday, the man named Rocks returned to the ship, but they stayed at the dock and had no plans to go to sea."

"Is that so? It seems it really has nothing to do with him."

In fact, Locks's guess was correct. As a suspect whose features were very close to the phone bug picture, the Rear Admiral was extremely concerned about him. If he had chosen to go out to sea overnight as soon as he returned to the ship last night, I am afraid that the Rear Admiral would have sent someone to arrest him immediately.

The current situation makes Rocks' suspicion smaller and smaller.

"Forget it, withdraw the surveillance marines."

It seems that those who attacked the navy are probably still escaping at sea, because there is no news of the capture of prisoners from several nearby naval bases.

This made many people look unhappy. After all, it was no different from hitting a navy in the face.

……

"Captain, all the nearby sailors have left."

Edward, who was watching the wind on the deck, suddenly walked into the cabin and said hurriedly.

Rocks was not surprised by this. As long as the navy did not get definite evidence, it naturally could not do anything to him. Besides, his previous acting performance was not bad, so he should be able to clear away the suspicion.

"Get ready and we'll leave in the afternoon."

Although the most dangerous place is the safest, staying there for too long will always expose your trap, and it’s time to leave now.

This time, no one monitored or prevented Rocks' boat from leaving. It successfully sailed out of the dock, left the island, and headed for the next island.

……

Rocks' ship has been sailing at sea for a week, but no one has been seen again. If it weren't for the supplies that were replenished every time it docked, I'm afraid the food on the ship might not be enough.

"Isn't it here yet?"

"It's almost there. We still have about two days to go."

Kate wiped the sweat from his forehead. The cabin of the previous merchant ship was much larger than Locks' ship, and the food supplies were nearly twice as large. He almost forgot to consider the supply issue.

Sure enough, Rocks still had to be reminded to change the boat. Otherwise, such a medium-sized sailboat would not be able to do business very far, and even if it could make money by then, it would not be much.

Edward was at the helm, Rocks was sitting on the lookout and looking out for the wind, and Kate was sitting on the edge of the boat fishing with Liz.

I have to say that the combination of this ship looks really strange.
