Chapter Ten Cole's Scheming
"Okay, Mir, I'll leave this to you."
Chris picked up Alina and handed her to Mir. He stood on the deck and looked in the direction pointed by Mir. He seemed to see nothing.
Chris hesitated and said, "Mil, where is she? I didn't see her at all."
"She is right there in the middle of the two oil lamps in the open space behind the crowd. However, you need to be careful."
After Chris left, Mir was planning to find a way to wake up Alina, but he didn't know what kind of spell the ghost had cast on her, which actually made her body limp and drowsy.
The ghost appeared here without warning, and Mir could not figure out its purpose, why it would attack Alina, and why she would turn into Ian's appearance to get close to Alina.
Mir had to connect the ghost with Ian's death. At least he could confirm that she was the most likely suspect and was most likely the murderer.
Mir hoped that Chris could catch her, or that even if Chris couldn't catch her, he would drive her away. It would be best not to let her get close to the ship or to Alina.
Mir carried Alina to the beach near the port. He was going to get some cold water with both hands to wake up Alina.
After repeated attempts several times, Alina exhaled a breath of turbid air and coughed twice. She seemed to have signs of life. When Mir touched Alina's chest just now, Mir could not feel the beating of Alina's heart.
"My dear, are you awake?" Mir came to Alina and asked, "How do you feel?"
Alina said weakly: "There's nothing wrong with me, I just feel dizzy."
Alina looked around and found herself sitting on the beach at the port of New Orleans. She clearly remembered why she was here when she got on the ship.
Alina asked in confusion: "Mir, what's wrong with me?"
"Honey, you were probably so tired that you passed out on the boat."
Mir didn't want Alina to know that the ghost had really appeared and was going to hug her and take away her soul. In order to prevent her from having more worries, Mir chose to hide it from Alina.
While Mir helped Alina up, Cole was running towards the beach. He saw that Alina could walk independently. He bowed to Alina and said: "My dear, Miss Massena, I see you are fine.
,I'm happy for you."
"Cole, thank you." Alina said with a sweet smile.
Mir was worried that Cole would tell Alina about the ghost's appearance. When Cole walked side by side with him, he felt that his worries were unnecessary.
"Mr. Detective Edward, there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Rosalie."
Cole kept his voice as low as possible. His voice came out almost at the same time as the sound of the rising tide, which could confuse Alina's hearing.
"Dear Mr. Miller, thank you."
Mir also lowered his voice to the lowest level, but he did not say it at the same time as the sound of the rising tide. Unexpectedly, this sentence was heard by Alina.
Alina turned back and stared at Mir and Cole with strange eyes. In Mir's house, she heard that Mir hated him very much. On the contrary, the two people were now very close, as if their relationship was very close.
Harmony, which surprised Alina.
After just falling asleep for a while, Alina felt that the world seemed to have changed in some way. As for what had changed, Alina could not tell at all.
Cole didn't make any answer, he just nodded and left the sight of Mir and Alina.
"Mil, don't you hate him anymore?" Alina looked into Mil's eyes. She could no longer feel the changes in Mir's heart.
Mir received the respectful title from Cole and was reminded by Chris that he felt that Cole was not as annoying as before. Mir smiled and explained: "Because I have gained respect, that's all."
Alina blinked in disbelief and said, "Really?"
"Yes, dear." Mill replied.
"You are always so fickle, I once suspected..."
"Your suspicion is wrong."
Mir gave Alina a gentle kiss in the most brutal way. He had no way to block Alina's mouth. In the past few years, Mir had explained countless times, but he could not make Alina give up her skeptical attitude.
After a deep kiss, Mil put Alina on the boat, and the two talked about the happy time in New Orleans. Alina looked back at the direction where she had lived. She couldn't bear to leave. When she stepped into the cabin, tears filled her eyes.
.
Mir kissed Alina gently on her forehead and said, "Alina, please wait for me in France."
Before Alina could reply, some French nobles crowded into the cabin one after another, and they separated Alina and Mir.
"Mr. Detective Edward, the boat is sailing soon." Cole said as he approached Mir.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Miller, I'll leave them to you."
"You're welcome, this is my duty too."
Cole saw Mir who was about to leave. He suddenly remembered something that he had forgotten to explain. He called to Mir and took out a letter from his pocket.
"Here is my address in France. You can write it down when you send the letter, and I will deliver the letter to Miss Alina."
Mir was very surprised by Cole's private address. Whether it was out of good intentions or something else, he could hardly refuse. The ship was about to leave, so he had no choice but to accept the letter handed over by Mir.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Miller. When I get to France, I will definitely visit you at your home."
Cole stood on the deck and gave a military salute to Mir, expressing the most respectful etiquette. However, the letter in Mir's hand was snatched away by Chris who rushed over. Chris carefully read the contents on the letter paper and was extremely amazed.
"Mir, this is his scheming. Do you know what is written in this letter?"
Chris had to admire Cole's despicable methods. He could hide it from Mir, but the content of Cole's letter could not be hidden from Chris.
"I haven't had time to see it yet."
Mill's focus was not on the letter paper at all, but what he focused on at this time was that Alina was about to leave New Orleans. He hoped that Alina would be waiting for him in the next four years.
Chris handed the letter to Mir, and Mir withdrew his eyes and took the letter. Although the handwriting on the letter was extremely neat, Mir could not understand what was written at all.
"Chris, please help me translate." Mill thought Chris could understand it.
Chris shrugged and said: "What the hell! Okay! I'll tell you the content in the simplest way. This letter is written with your address, but Cole re-wrote one side in Germanic."
Mir suddenly remembered what Chris had reminded him. He became furious and raised his middle finger towards Cole. At the same time, he kept spitting out the fragrance from his mouth.
For Chris, he probably understood some of the meaning of the curses in Mir's mouth, but this was the first time he saw Mir's strange and unfamiliar gestures.
