Chapter 13 Skyalo(1/2)
Half an hour later.
The yacht is already far away from the bustling Palermo Harbour.
This yacht is not big, it is only about ten meters long in front and back.
The boss of the boat obediently took the helm in the cockpit, while Li Qing was lying comfortably on the sun loungers on the small deck, drinking the "free" ice drinks stored on the yacht while enjoying the sea scenery in a foreign country.
The sea waves under the sun are calm and unremitting, like an endless sapphire mirror, blue and dazzling.
The refreshing and moist cool breeze with a faint smell of sea came over the Mediterranean, making the air on the boat smell
"It's so smelly."
Li Qing pinched his nose, his face full of disgust.
His sense of smell has increased a lot after the level has been improved, so he is very sensitive to those irritating smells.
In order to cover up the pungent smell, he couldn't help picking up the lighter he "borrowed" from the ship boss and lit a cigarette he "borrowed" from the ship boss.
By the way, during this friendly exchange, Li Qing politely remembered the fat captain's name:
"Andrew, what does this taste like?"
"that"
"You'd better not smoke now."
The unlucky captain named Andrew looked at Li Qing timidly and muttered:
"If I guessed correctly, it might be an oil leak."
"Oil leak?"
"How come this ship leaks oil?"
Li Qing's face changed slightly, and he immediately used his fingers to snatch the cigarette butt he had just lit.
The tone of his question was not terrifying, but after experiencing a series of previous coercion, intimidation and kidnapping, the poor Mr. Andrew had already regarded Li Qing as a hungry wolf in human skin.
He tried his best to hide his inner dissatisfaction and replied carefully:
"Mr. Bald."
"Didn't I tell you from the beginning - the oil tank of this ship seems to be a little problem and must be sent back to the dock for maintenance."
"You insisted that I open it."
Despite trying hard to hide it, the resentment of "forced to follow the thief" could not be hidden.
“Oh haha.”
Li Qing did not make things difficult for this unlucky Mr. Andrew.
He touched his bare head and smiled indifferently:
"You seem to have told me this."
"So, can this ship still drive?"
"If you can, drive away, let me go further. The further away from the place just now, the better."
Andrew's eyes rolled and replied with ulterior motives:
"Although there are some signs of oil leakage, I can barely move now."
"but"
"If this continues, if it doesn't go ashore, it may shut down at sea at any time."
"If the situation is worse, it might even spontaneously burn. In that case, we will all be done."
"oh"
Li Qing responded casually:
Obviously, Andrew was encouraging himself to find a place to park the boat and dock so that he could leave safely.
However, he didn't think the other party was lying.
Because Li Qing could smell it, as the yacht continued to sail on the sea, the unpleasant smell of fuel indeed became stronger and stronger.
"Then find a small island in front to dock."
Li Qing said rationally:
"Don't worry, I'm just an ordinary citizen passing by."
"As long as you cooperate well, I will let you leave safely."
"Ordinary Citizen"
"Are there any ordinary citizens like you who rob and kidnap and threaten them with guns?"
Andrew's mouth twitched, and he had been holding it in for a long time but he didn't dare to express his resentment.
Immediately afterwards, he replied with a forced smile:
"Okay, sir."
“There is a nice island ahead, where you can change to a new boat.”
"Don't worry," Andrew added wisely: "There is not even a police station on that island, and I will definitely not call the police to cause trouble for you."
"kindness."
Li Qing responded without comment, then turned around and continued to enjoy the wonderful sea sunshine.
And just now
With that extraordinary hearing, he heard a roar of engines coming from the distant sea:
“There is a ship?”
"There is a boat following behind!"
For security reasons, Li Qing instinctively entered the data mode.
His eyes lost light in an instant, but the already keen hearing was strengthened more than ten times at this moment.
In the "blind monk" state, the sound became clearer:
"What I caught up with was a speedboat, sailing very fast."
“There is only one person on board.”
“200 meters, 180 meters, 140 meters are getting closer.”
"Yes, it's for us!"
Li Qing's tone suddenly became serious:
"captain!"
"Put up my horsepower, the faster I drive, the better!"
"ah?"
Andrew didn't react at all:
"Drive quickly?"
"This oil leakage problem has not been solved yet. If you run it overload, I think there may be problems."
"I don't want you to think, I want me to think!"
Li Qing urged very arrogantly: "Give me enough energy!"
"Otherwise, if the ship behind was coming to chase me, would he guess he would have done it even if you did it?"
"This, this"
"Chasing the Mafia?"
"God, what was I being caught up in!"
A layer of greasy cold sweat suddenly oozed out of Andrew's fat face.
Then, he trembled as Li Qing's instructions to push the ship to the maximum speed.
Unfortunately, the yacht has limited speed. No matter how much you increase your horsepower, you can't get rid of the small speedboat you caught up with.
In this way, the distance between the two ships became closer and closer.
120 meters, 100 meters, 70 meters, 50 meters
When only fifty meters were left between the two ships, one in front and one behind, the speedboat behind which had just advanced at full speed suddenly slowed down and slowly spread behind the yacht.
"kindness?"
"Why didn't that ship chase after it?"
Li Qing was a little confused, but Andrew breathed a little relieved:
"Maybe, maybe the person who came is either a killer or a passerby."
To be continued...
