Chapter 62: Petition for Nomination (II)
Chapter 62 Petition (II)
The Navy soldier shoved the torn turban into Hayreddin's hand, picked up the pistol left by Chloe, and walked out of the alley as if nothing had happened.
"Ah Jin!" The rat-eyed rat lieutenant frowned and ran over, "Where did you just go?" ”
"Go to the toilet, sir!" Navy New Ding Ajin stood up straight and said with an unchanged face.
……
Chloe trotted aimlessly, trying to stay away from the scene of the incident, and although he was still a little flustered, he had somewhat calmed down and was able to start thinking about things.
The Redbeard Pirates, Chloe didn't dare to go back, Barbarossa would have skinned him alive if he found out that he had killed Hayreddin, now that I think about it, he left too many traces at the scene, not to mention the pistol he was carrying, not to mention, there are eyewitnesses.
He couldn't believe Alcatio, because he didn't know if Barbarossa would keep him when he knew the truth and asked Alcatio for someone.
Chloe just wanted to leave the city first, and with the energy of Barbarossa and Arcatio, it was not particularly difficult to find him as a little person in the city.
Maybe it's time for him to leave the kingdom of Navia, or even the East China Sea.
Chloe thought about this with a pale face, but he didn't notice that someone was secretly staring at him behind him, and when he entered a sparsely populated path, as soon as he turned the corner, someone hit him the back of the head with a blunt object, and he passed out.
Tony, who had been listening to the phone bug news and was in ambush, held Chloe's soft body, smiled, and signaled to Edmund and Aramis who came later, and the three of them set up Chloe together and quickly left the scene.
When Chloe woke up again, he was already in a strange courtyard, but the faint stench that still permeated his nose told him that it was still near the slums of Kalmar City.
He lay on the ground, the back of his head was still aching, but he didn't get up in a hurry, carefully observed the surroundings, the yard was lit with two oil lamps, but the dim light seemed to be a drop in the bucket at night, and the darkness still occupied most of the courtyard space.
"Get up, don't play dead." Some familiar voices reached Crowe's ears, causing him to stiffen.
Slowly looking up, Chloe first saw a pair of erlang's legs upturned, and then saw the familiar face.
"Shi, Stolt?" Chloe's face was both surprised and confused, with a hint of fear of the unknown.
The expression on the face of Stolt in front of him, or William, was completely different from Chloe's previous impressions, without impulsiveness and recklessness, with a calmness that made Chloe feel confused.
"Welcome to join us, Chloe." William stood up from his chair and spread his hands to Chloe.
With his words, Edmond, Aramis, Tony, Sherlock and others who were standing in the shadow corner of the courtyard stepped out of the shadows.
Chloe turned his head to look at the people with different expressions and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"I mean," William grinned, "and now, we're in this group." ”
"You killed ...... Hayreddin."
William's words made Chloe's face change greatly, and he quickly interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense! ”
Tony laughed maliciously, Edmund, Aramis and Sherlock were infected by him, and they also let out a burst of laughter of unknown meaning, Chloe looked even more nervous, he didn't know why Stolt, who had been looking like a stunned person, had suddenly become so inscrutable, and why did he know that he had killed Hayreddin?
"Why lie to me? We're grasshoppers on a rope now, and you're able to kill Hayreddin to get revenge, thanks to my help. William said.
Chloe's eyes widened, although his psychological quality was still poor because of his experience, but his mind was quite flexible, combined with a series of clues, he actually had a little guess in his heart, but he didn't expect William to admit it directly in front of him, the reason why Hayreddin died at his hands was indeed planned by someone behind his back, and that person was standing in front of him.
Thinking that because of the accidental killing of Hayreddin, he might have to hide in Tibet for the rest of his life, and live on the run, a wave of anger suddenly filled Chloe's heart.
He let out a low roar, bouncing off the ground like a wounded beast, and rushed towards William, who seemed defenseless.
Syllable!
William, like an unpredictable prophet, directly propped up his right arm, and his palm became a claw, just blocking the path of Chloe's forward rush, making Chloe seem to be deliberately sent into his palm, and he grabbed his neck.
Chloe's own forward strength and William's strength doubled oppression, and Chloe suddenly felt his breath suffocated, and his throat was almost crushed.
William jammed Chloe's neck, and his [strong] expertise, coupled with the arm strength he had cultivated over the years of sword training, allowed him to easily lift Clotty's feet off the ground with one hand.
William's face was no longer the kindness just now, his eyes were cold, he looked at Chloe who was constantly struggling, and said slowly: "You can't mess with Barbarossa and Alcatio, and you can't mess with me either!" ”
William threw Chloe to the ground, who clutched his throat and coughed, his eyes wandering and pondering the situation.
He had calmed down a little, not to mention the "Stolt" who suddenly became unfathomable in front of him, at this time there were still a few accomplices of the other party in the courtyard, and if he came hard, he could only suffer from himself.
"I thought that helping you and letting you kill Hayreddin with your own hands would make you feel my kindness." William crouched down in front of Chloe, his face regaining kindness.
"I didn't kill Hayreddin, you framed me!" Chloe argued.
"No," William shook his finger, "you killed Hayreddin, who humiliated you in front of the whole ship, and if I'm not mistaken, you must have told Alcatio about Barbarossa's spoils, and then, shortly before the incident, you left the nearby pub in full view." ”
"The motive, the time of the crime, you must have a grudge against Hayreddin, and you are worried that because of the informant, Barbarossa will punish you again, and what is even more terrifying is that he asked Hayreddin to punish you, so under the stimulation of alcohol, you decided to kill Hayreddin, and then escape from the Redbeard Pirates, perhaps, in order to clear the suspicion, you will deliberately arrange some fake clues at the scene." William said with a serious analysis.
Chloe's face turned pale, and what frightened him the most was that William had two things left unsaid, that he had dropped a pistol at the scene of the crime, and that he had left an eyewitness.
In fact, even without these, what William just said is enough, the pirate ship is not a court, and Barbarossa is not a fair and strict judge, and the logical chain listed by William is enough for Barbarossa to list Chloe as an important suspect, and no further evidence is needed, Barbarossa will choose to execute Chloe.
