The battle took a heavy toll on the Franc pirates, and the Golden Dog turned southeast, sailing for a day before turning south. The ship went for two days before the sailors gradually recovered from the shadow of defeat.

The greatest loss of Mendoza and Gaspar in this naval battle was the loss of an entire ship, and none of the Francophiles were killed except for the missing Gustav, and they did not care how many sailors of the various tribes in the East died, anyway, these unbelievers would die sooner or later and go to hell.

On the third day after the end of the naval battle, the cleaning of the deck and cabins was completed, and the new personnel arrangements were finalized, and it was at this time that the body of Gustav, the first mate of the Golden Dog, was found.

After abandoning the uprising, Shui Yu Cai and Bullfrog had already taken advantage of the chaos to throw Gustav's body into the sea. It was normal for one or two people to go missing in a naval battle, but it would be clean to destroy the corpses. Unexpectedly, there was a hook and sickle stuck in the place where they threw the corpse, and one end of the hook and sickle was connected to a fragment of a South Australian pirate ship, and Gustav's body was stuck in this hook and sickle and this fragment, and the Golden Dog sailed south, and the sea rushed backwards, washing the corpse into swelling, but it did not fall. It wasn't until this day that Mendoza sent someone to clean the outer side of the Golden Dog that Gustav was spotted in the right rear of the ship!

"This unlucky fellow!" Looking at the dead companion, Mendoza exclaimed.

"What to do with him?" Gaspar said.

"Let Anthony take care of it." Mendoza apparently believed that Gustav had died in a naval battle, as it was difficult to find out at first glance the true cause of his death because of the two days of water washing and the impact of the collision that caused him to be thrown overboard.

Shuiyu Cai, Wu Tiepi and others were secretly relieved when they saw that Franc was planning to deal with it hastily, while Xu Qijin hesitated and hesitated, not knowing whether to shake this matter out. After all, although the Franc Machine is now in control of the situation again, if this matter is shaken out, I am afraid that the Golden Dog will have to set off another round of bloody rain. However, this is not the first reason why Xu Qijin is silent, Xu Qijin is most worried that he will also be blamed by the Francophone people, because he did not hand over the traitor at the first time because of the situation, and if he waits until this moment, he will inevitably appear to be not loyal enough, and even get involved in suspicion.

"Let's not talk about it." Xu Qijin thought that he also hoped that things would pass like this.

Dongmen Qing secretly watched, and was a little worried when he saw Xu Qijin talking several times, until he finally saw that he didn't say anything, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "It's best for them to bury this ghost sea quickly, it's a hundred!" ”

Things seem to be going well, if it weren't for Anthony's "huh"! But this fake ghost, who is simple, careful, and began to make Dongmen Qing feel annoyed, made such an inappropriate voice at this inappropriate time!

"What's wrong?" Mendoza asked.

Dongmen Qing, Shui Yu Cai, Xu Qijin - all those in the know will mention it! At this time, if Anthony's brain was more flexible, he knew some scheming and said "nothing", things might have been dangerous, but he honestly said: "His neck...... It seems strange ......" Anthony regretted it after this sentence came out, but it was too late by then!

Mendoza and Gaspar walked over, took off Gustav's clothes and examined his body, and soon found that although Gustav had many scars, they were either relatively light or not fatal on his hands, feet, shoulders, etc., while the strangulation marks on his neck reminded people of his presence like a coiled viper!

"He was strangled to death!" Gaspar roared.

The people were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that something was wrong! When the South Australian crowd attacked, most of the people couldn't even use firearms, and the whole ship was attacking with quick knives, and the chance of abandoning slashing and stabbing was very low! Then Franc thought of another suspicion: Gustav was sent to the stern of the ship to give the order, and there was basically no attack, Mendoza and others originally thought that Gustav had been attacked in the aisle, but now based on this strangulation mark and the location of the body found, Franc Robot thought that something was very suspicious!

In this way, the problem is serious! Gustav's death was not a very important event for Mendoza, but if he had died at the hands of someone inside the fleet, the situation would have been completely different!

On this ship full of suspicion, there are many times when there is no need for sufficient evidence to judge a thing - as long as the Francois think that these low-ranking Orientals are suspected of rebellion, they will kill! Several Franco-mechanics had already tightened their weapons, and their henchmen, those who could understand Franco's words, also moved, at this time Mendoza moved his gaze to Xu Qijin, and asked Senran: "Gustav went to the stern, you followed all the way, right?" ”

Xu Qijin was shocked when he saw that he really doubted himself, but it was too late to tell the truth at this time! Because Mendoza and others are very likely to anger themselves in a fit of rage! He had to answer the question, but in a way that would completely disconnect the matter! Xu Qijin turned his head and shouted: "I don't know!" I do not know! It was a chaotic mess, and when I reached the stern, I fainted with a pain in my head, and when I woke up, I couldn't see the first mate. ”

"Reach the stern? Gustav was attacked only after reaching the stern? Gaspar said: "That group of Chaozhou barbarians didn't attack the stern, it seems that there are really moles!" ”

Shuiyu Cai, Bullfrog and others couldn't understand Franc's words, but when they saw these ghosts, they were also worried, Xu Qijin was worried that Gaspar would ask again, and was anxious to find someone to divert his attention, so he pointed to Anthony's trouser leg and said: "I remember, when I fainted, I just saw that person's feet, and he was wearing this kind of pants!" ”

Anthony was so frightened that he waved his hands: "For God's sake!" Don't point fingers! How could I ...... How could I ......" At this moment, he remembered a very important matter, something that was enough to help him clear his suspicion, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't bear to say it. He looked to Mendoza and hoped that Mendoza would believe him as a person so that he would not have to say anything.

"Anthony won't kill." Mendoza said, and Gaspar believed that they were cruel, but not stupid, and that the pious and cowardly yellow man did not look like a murderer.

Xu Qijin's real target to be dragged into the water was actually not Anthony, and after listening to Mendoza's words, he immediately said: "Ah, that's right! The man's trouser leg is this style, but the color seems to be earthy gray......"

He still didn't say who it was, but his mention had already made Anthony exclaim, and he couldn't help but look at Dongmen Qing, and Sato also shouted - he knew some Francophone words, and he guessed Xu Qijin's words seven or eight points by distinguishing his face, so if Anthony's exclamation was unintentional, then his exclamation was deliberate! After being glanced at by Mendoza, Hideyoshi Sato stammered, "I think I saw a person wearing pants like this two days ago......"

Li Chun was in a hurry, and took a step to advance and retreat with Dongmen Qing, but was quietly pushed away by Dongmen Qing, shook his head at him again, and made a few gestures to ask him to remember his previous instructions.

At this time, everyone's attention was not focused on Dongmenqing, but they just heard Mendoza ask, "Who?" ”

Hideyoshi Sato pointed at the east gate Keichi and shouted, "He! ”

The people standing in front of Dongmen Qing stepped out of the way, isolating him from the deck. Anthony was worried and helpless in his heart, but kept saying: "No, how could it be him...... No! No, it won't! Wang Qing is a scholar, it won't be his. King! You tell everybody, it's not you! After saying this, he remembered that he was dumb, and quickly said, "Shake your head!" Shake your head! ”

Dongmen Qing shook his head and denied it. Gaspar asked, "You said it wasn't you—where were you?" Say it! ”

Dongmen Qing looked at Shui Yu Cai, Shui Yu Cai lowered his head and didn't dare to respond to him, he wanted to find the bullfrog again, the bullfrog had already mixed in the crowd and didn't know where it was, they didn't dare to come forward in the current situation, and even looked forward to Dongmen Qing not to pull them into the water. They thought in their hearts that if this Wang Qing could take care of everything righteously, they would be very grateful to him. Dongmen Qing felt a burst of disappointment in his heart, and he found that although his father's black teachings were sometimes harsh, they never seemed to be missed!

"That's right, that's right! That's him! That's him! Xu Qijin shouted: "I heard a cold snort before I passed out, it was his voice!" That's right! I remember! That's his voice! Speaking of this, he was happy in his heart, and sure enough, no one spoke for Dongmenqing! And in such a situation, I should be able to get rid of all doubts.

Whether it's solving a case or adjudicating a verdict, sometimes you don't need the truth. Since Xu Qijin is a confidant of the Francophile, his words are tantamount to sentencing Dongmen Qing to death!

Mendoza looked at Dongmenqing, then looked at the surrounding Chinese and Nanyang natives, exchanged a look with Gaspar, and made a decision! They have just suffered a defeat, although they can still maintain control of this ship, but in the short term, it is not appropriate to massacre the yellow sailors on board, but they must still find out a murderer to severely punish them, so as to achieve the effect of killing chickens and monkeys! And this Wang Qing is obviously a good object!

"Hang him up!" Mendoza cried out, "I'm going to strangle him!" Let him taste the same death as Gustav! ”
