Codex Pirates

Chapter 64: Setting the blame

Compared with a black-bellied social person like William, a rookie like Crowe is still too immature. Whether it is experience, psychological quality, or even acting skills, he is crushed by the latter.

William didn't even look at Crowe. Like the crew members of the Redbeard Pirates around him, his face was full of solemnity, his brows were slightly frowned, and he stared at the ship doctor Wood. The corpse, and the captain Barbarossa glanced at each other, as if waiting for an order from Barbarossa.

If William hadn't talked to Crowe in person that night, Crowe would never have thought that William in front of him was the mastermind of Hayreddin's murder.

Barbarossa came to Hayreddin's body, and he didn't care about the filth on the ground. He knelt on the ground slowly, with a ferocious face full of hair, with uncontrollable grief, he, Hayreddin, and Reis The relationship between the three brothers is indeed extremely sincere. The reason for this is that in addition to the blood relationship, they also have the experience of going through life and death together and supporting each other from scratch.

Hayreddin struggled painfully when he died, so until now, the corpse still stares at him with anger. Barbarossa gently closed his eyes for him, and Wood also squatted beside him, passing a small ball of black cloth over.

Barbarossa was spread out and clenched into a ball, covered with wrinkled black cloth. Wood explained from the side: "I found it from Hayreddin. It may be the murderer's turban, and he tore part of it."

A strange pirate logo is printed on the black turban. Similar habits are not uncommon in the pirate group. The bigger the pirate group, the stronger the cohesion. The sea that is proud of its own pirate group Thieves often print or tattoo their own pirate logo on their clothes, headscarves, and even their bodies.

The turban in Barbarossa's hand has a rather weird pirate logo printed on it, a duck head wearing a chef's hat, looking straight ahead with a blank face, a knife and a three-headed fork on the duck Cross the back of the head.

This slightly funny pirate logo is well-known in the East China Sea, because it is the logo of the Chef Pirates!

"Zep..." Barbarossa gritted his teeth and read the name of this great pirate who was almost as famous as him in the East China Sea.

Barbarossa handed the turban to Reis, and Reis passed it to the other crew members in turn after seeing it.

When the turban was passed, Barbarossa had already stood up, and ordered them murderously: "Find it for me, and find out the residence of the Chef Pirates!"

Logically speaking, the Chef Pirates just had a conflict with the Redbeard Pirates not long ago, and they lost a lot of face. Captain Zhepu was almost killed by an unknown soldier on the Redbeard Pirates, and took revenge. Action is not impossible.

Of course, it’s not that the crew members of the Redbeard Pirates in the alley have thought of the possibility of framing them, but judging by the expressions of the first and second characters on board, Barbarossa and Reis, what they need now is obviously nothing Rational analysis, but venting the anger of revenge.

They are pirates, not police or detectives. They need to find the truth a little bit. Even if the chef pirates are not sure if they are the murderers, at worst, after they are caught, they will be interrogated one by one.

Barbarossa glanced at the crew. After seeing the turban, William looked angry. Barbarossa had the idea of ​​blaming Hayreddin for his death, but now that Hayreddin is dead, William is the only sailor on board. And doing so will also make the crew alienated, because everyone understands that this incident cannot be blamed on William, after all, he was responsible for the reputation of the Redbeard Pirates and Reis himself.

Because of a guilty conscience and lack of acting skills like William, Crowe looked a little uneasy on his face, but Barbarossa didn't think that he had anything to do with Hayreddin's death, thinking it was because he heard that the Redbeard Pirates were going to kill him. Because of the battle with the Chef Pirates.

After all, judging from past performances, Crowe and Arcadio are of one mind, and Arcadio has always disliked Barbarossa causing troubles in Kalmar City, especially big troubles.

Two well-known pirate groups in the East China Sea are fighting each other, which is obviously a major event that will make Arcadio unhappy!

After everyone in the alley had left and even Hayreddin's body was carried away by Reis, Barbarossa asked Crowe to stay alone.

Although William secretly gave him a reassuring look, Crowe was still terrified.

"I know you belong to Arcadio, and Arcadio doesn't want me to cause trouble in Calma," Barbarossa said to the pale Crowe, "but now my brother died in Calma, I need an explanation, you go back and tell your master, the murderers who killed Hayreddin, I want them to die! Even if I search the whole city, I will recruit the Chef Pirates, no matter who speaks use!"

...

"That's what Barbarossa said?"

In the chamber of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, asked Arcadio.

Crowe could feel the anger that Arcadio was trying to suppress, so he stood with his arms tied, and said obediently, "It's not wrong."

"What a big tone, to turn over the city?" Arcadio finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threw the teacup in his hand, the hot tea splashed on Cloe's foot, and Cloo's face twitched.

Arcadio continued: "What does he mean by asking you to pass the message? Do you want me to understand him? Or do you want me to help him search the whole city? Or imply that I just wipe his ass obediently and don't talk too much? "

The Minister of Finance, who has always been pampered, paced back and forth in the room angrily, cursing in his mouth: "What a brainless idiot!"

Barbarossa's intentions are obvious, he wants revenge now, he doesn't care about the tacit understanding with Arcadio, Arcadio can teach him a lesson afterwards, but now, he can only help him out.

After a while, Arcadio suddenly thought of something, and asked Clo: "Hailedin is dead, is there any navigator on board now?"

"There is one," Crowe said calmly, "it's a young man named Stolter, quite honest."

In fact, William had nothing to do with the word honesty, whether it was the usual disguise on the ship or what Crowe saw in private.

Arcadio stopped, as if lost in thought.

...

Almost the whole ship of the Redbeard Pirates was dispatched, and the soldiers were divided into groups. Everyone carried weapons and poured into the slums, immediately disturbing this chaotic place even more, but the Redbeard Pirates and Barbaro Sa's name is too famous, although many people who wander here are not kind, but they just dare not speak out when they are harassed.

After Crowe came back from Arcadio, he originally wanted to stay on the ship, but William gave him a sneaky wink, so he joined William, and together with Reis, searched for the Chef Pirates in the slums. whereabouts.

On the other side, Zhepu was cooking calmly. In the living room separated by a wall, a group of subordinates were clamoring for food.

The Chef Pirates don't know anything about what happened in the slums.
