Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 1280 The Down-to-earth Wise Man

"These fish monsters are liars. It's very simple, because in your warehouse, there are still dried human flesh and stolen goods from merchant ships. If you are the ones who have been robbed, how can you have the right to eat robbers, and how can there be merchants on board?" goods?” After being silent, Odysseus gave his own judgment.

The smell of jerky?

Wen Rensheng laughed, and it turned out to be a famous wise man who gave physical evidence.

To catch thieves and seize stolen goods is a principle that has never changed since ancient times.

But the other party can smell the smell of human flesh, he is worthy of being a resourceful commander who has been fighting for a long time...

"That's right, King Odysseus!" The sailors wept with joy!

"Yes, this is ironclad evidence!"

They couldn't be sure of this before, so they didn't dare to say it, but Odysseus was able to affirm this in one breath. This is the difference in wisdom between the two sides.

"Hmph, what kind of evidence is this?" The old strange fish said without hesitation, "The dried human meat is the looters we killed, and the goods are also obtained by defeating the looters!"

At this point, these strange fish can still quibble and deny.

"Hey, which one of you is right?"

The big shark was confused, it opened its mouth wide again, the kind that could swallow half of a merchant ship in one bite.

"Well, if you don't admit that you are robbers, then I want to ask, what do you do for a living?" Odysseus asked again.

"Of course we make a living by fishing." The old strange fish said disdainfully.

"Why don't I see nets and hooks?"

"Because those fish will jump on our raft of their own accord."

"It was tricked, just like these merchant ships. I heard a rumor a long time ago that a group of fish monsters appeared in the Mediterranean Sea. As long as you meet them and bring them goods, you can get pearls in the deep sea and shipwreck treasure," Odysseus revealed.

"That's right, we came here only after hearing this rumor!" the chief mate of the merchant ship affirmed.

Odysseus continued: "Fish monsters, can you bring out pearls and treasures from the sunken ship on your raft?"

The old monster fish said tit for tat: "Hmph, that rumor is absurd, it was spread by people who wanted to rob us."

Wen Rensheng shook his head.

It is very difficult to make these strange fish whose strength is based on deception bow their heads only by relying on lip service. They have endless lies, unless they find out a dilemma that puts the other party in an irrefutable situation.

Can Odysseus find out?
Odysseus was silent again, he was watching the raft carefully, and suddenly he pointed to the big shark and said:

"In that case, do you dare to swear to the darling of the sea in front of you?"

The strange fishes swore without hesitation.

For them, oaths and promises are like Lao Lai who borrowed money.

Odysseus laughed, and he said:

"In this case, you open the warehouse and the door, and prove your innocence to this favorite of the sea!"

"Open it, then open it!" The strange fish had just sworn, if it could not prove its innocence, it would be disrespectful to the big shark.

Because Odysseus does not let them prove their innocence to themselves, they have no obligation and need to prove to him.

The warehouse was opened.

There was nothing inside, except for the dried salted fish, there were some seaweeds.

However, in Wen Rensheng's eyes, dried salted fish are strips of dried human flesh, while seaweed are bones.

There are also wooden crates tied with hemp rope, containing various goods.

They are not robbers, who are robbers?
It's a pity that the sailors couldn't see this, they could only bow their heads weakly.

"Damn it, why is there no evidence?" the first mate said angrily.

"They must have thrown them into the sea."

However, Odysseus didn't panic, he just looked at the big shark.

I saw the big shark suddenly spout a mouthful of seawater into the warehouse.

Then the phantasms vanished, revealing the horrific reality.

The sailors were stunned. This was indeed the lair of monsters. They had heard many legends about cannibalism at sea.

For example, the sea monster will confuse the sailors with singing, and then eat them when they are sleepy.

"Oh, darling of the sea, as I just said, these things belong to looters. We defended ourselves and defeated them, and finally got these spoils." Repeated again.

But Odysseus laughed loudly:
"Rooters, there are obviously many bones and flesh and blood of children under the age of five. Do you want to say that they are also robbers?"

The strange fish were speechless.

They are finally checkmate.

After a long time, a strange fish finally stammered: "These children were brought by a slave trader and killed by them..."

"Don't quibble, darling of the sea, with your eyesight, you can tell at a glance that the knife marks on the corpses of adults and children are from the same group of people."

There is a moment when lies are exposed.

Wen Rensheng saw the wisdom of Odysseus. He first rambled and lowered the defense of these strange fish, and then used an oath to force them to make a promise to the most powerful shark, and finally forced them to open the warehouse examine.

And he seemed to have known for a long time that there were children's bones in it, which should have come from the investigation beforehand.

Children were good candidates for slaves, and the slave trade was common in ancient Greece.

Odysseus was a little puzzled that he could see that the great shark had the ability to decipher illusions.

Maybe the other party got the oracle?

He knew very well that in ancient Greek mythology, there were oracles in many stories.

"Damn it, how dare you deceive me, the great, the wise, the upright, the kind, the lovely..." Xiao Huan couldn't continue.

Then the big shark crashed into the raft.

The raft fell apart one after another, and the strange fish screamed and fled in all directions.

"Saved, thank you, wise King Odysseus!" Sailors praised one after another.

"No, you have to thank this just and wise sea darling. It has seen through everything long ago, and just wants to give mortals a chance to show their intelligence. We want to thank it with an altar." Odysseus gestured to everyone road.

Then the altar was hurriedly set up on the merchant ship, and began to offer sacrifices to the big shark and present gifts.

"Thank you, just and wise darling of the sea, for freeing us from liars and robbers."

"It's really interesting, he actually figured out a way to break the tricks of these strange fishes, and he hasn't prayed to gods or Buddha yet." Xiao Huan said to Wenren Sheng in the water.

"After all, he is the number one wise man in ancient Greece. With the help of a Trojan horse trick, his wisdom has been passed down for thousands of years. His name is known both at home and abroad." Wen Rensheng smiled.

He sees the undertones of Odysseus.

Good at investigation, preparation in advance, and keen eyesight, he can immediately distinguish the main contradiction and the strongest force.

These are all prerequisites for a wise man.

But also enough cunning, extremely greedy for money.

Why this one was added, because Wen Rensheng clearly saw that when the big shark disappeared and when the sailors were busy offering sacrifices, Odysseus was the first to order his men to put down the boat and go to salvage the fish floating on the water. precious cargo.

The people on the merchant ship were busy offering sacrifices, and they couldn't find anyone to collect the goods.

The most precious and valuable cargo thus landed on Odysseus' battleship.

These are real people, not selfless wise men on paper.

From the beginning to the end, he got the most lucrative benefits without any effort or risk.
