Chapter 14: Suspects
Bad!
Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong immediately noticed that something was wrong, how could the captain die suddenly, this matter became more and more confusing.
"What to do, how do I feel that this is coming for us?" Bai Sha said.
Zheng Zhilong remembered the incident of the jump in his right eye yesterday, but he didn't expect the captain to die today. Yesterday, the captain Li Xu was stabbed a few times by Baisha and should not be killed, there must be other cats in it.
"I suspect it's a bureau. Respond to all changes with the same, go to the shore first. Zheng Zhilong calmed down and said.
A fleet of more than ten boats gathered towards the shore, and after a while, the shore was full of people, until the arrival of the deputy Li Xian, the crowd gradually quieted down.
Where Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong stood, the crew members avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, which made the two stand out.
Yesterday's battle Bai Sha stabbed the captain with a dagger a few times, and now that the captain is dead, the biggest suspect is undoubtedly Bai Sha, and it is reasonable for the crew to behave like this now.
Deputy Li Xian's face was sad, he stood in the middle of the field and looked around, and said in a low voice: "I was going to change the captain's dressing early this morning, but I found that the captain was dead. We must find the murderer today and avenge the captain and my cousin! ”
"Find the murderer! Find out the murderer! ”
"Who is it that does such unconscionable things? He should be put to death by Ling Chi! ”
"Avenge the captain!"
……
The surrounding crew began to stir, and for a time the crowd was furious.
Bai Sha looked at the crew who made a sound, and he already knew it in his heart, and whispered in Zheng Zhilong's ear: "The shouters are all people who landed on the first day to hunt in the forest. ”
Zheng Zhilong didn't pay attention to this detail, and it didn't dawn on Bai Sha until he said it, it seems that this matter has a plan and a goal nine times out of ten.
The two whispered, and happened to be seen by the deputy Li Xian, and said at the moment: "I don't know what the two of you are whispering, if you have any high opinions, you can say it and listen to it." ”
The crew looked at the two of them, expecting an explanation.
Bai Sha took a step forward and said: "The captain was killed, this is what everyone does not want to see, I have some grudges with the captain, on the surface, it seems that I should be the most suspicious, I also have a motive to kill the captain, but I was seriously injured yesterday, and I no longer have the strength to do this kind of thing, as for Zheng Zhilong next to me, the captain has always had a good relationship with him, we were together all night last night, and the crew brothers who were in the same room with us can testify." ”
Instead of letting others point to you, it is better to go out and explain the reason clearly.
Deputy Li Xianyi changed his gentle attitude in the past, and said coldly: "What you said is right, you have a grudge with the captain and have a motive to kill, so anxious to come out and explain, is it because you have a weak heart?" ”
Sure enough, what should come will always come, Bai Sha was not flustered, and continued: "It's not that I'm in a hurry to explain, but the first mate you asked me to come out and speak, I repeat, I don't have the ability to kill the captain anymore." ”
"You don't have to use force to kill." Deputy Li Xian continued: "We have followed the captain for several years, and the captain is a big hero in our hearts, and it is impossible for our old crew to kill the captain, and as for the newly recruited crew, there should be no such ability, because most of the captain's ships are old crews." So, I guess that's the goal. ”
Deputy Li Xian's words are obvious, and the spearhead is directed at Baisha.
Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, the kind deputy Li appeared on weekdays with a fierce and vicious face, and the contrast was huge. Bai Sha smiled bitterly and shook his head, it was really a disaster.
The surrounding crew seemed to believe the words of their deputy Li Xian, and began to move closer to Li Xian, secretly forming a confrontation with Bai Sha.
Bai Sha can roughly determine that the person who killed the captain Li Xu is the deputy Li Xian, and he has participated in everything in the past two days, and it seems that the other party wants to seize power.
Bai Sha stared at Li Xian's every move, and inadvertently found that a piece of linen cloth was missing from the corner of the other party's clothes, and the gap was still a new seal, which made Bai Sha find a breakthrough.
"If you want to talk about the motive for killing, I think it's not just me, as the number two person in the fleet, as soon as the captain dies, you can naturally become the new captain, and besides, after the captain was injured yesterday, you have been taking care of it, and you also have the ability to kill the captain!" Bai Sha suddenly pointed at the other party and said.
This reason also made sense, and some of the crew members felt justified and began to talk about it again.
After saying that, Bai Sha retreated into the crowd, or squeezed into the crowd. At this moment, Zheng Zhilong stood up and said: "Uncle Li treats me like a nephew, I will definitely arrest the murderer and bring him to justice!" ”
On the scene, the two forces are suspicious of each other, and on the surface, the two of Baisha are not a force, but secretly there are already some people who have their attitudes towards the two, which is a subtle change.
The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and the two sides doubt each other. The deputy's eyes searched for the white sand that had disappeared into the crowd, and then he looked farther to the edge of the woods, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, the disappearing white sand squeezed out of the crowd again, whispering into Zheng Zhilong's ear.
Chi Ze changed, and the deputy Li Xian didn't seem to have much patience and was ready to use some means.
"No matter how much you quibble, it's useless, come here, tie up the two of them, torture them severely, and see if they can recruit them." Deputy Li Xian said.
Suddenly, deputies Li Xian stood up beside him, and several people approached.
The captain's body was in the middle of the field, now covered by a straw mat.
Bai Sha glanced at the straw mat, stood up and said, "Wait a minute! ”
"I'm going to examine the captain's body, and maybe I'll find the answer in the captain's body!" Bai Sha said.
Deputy Li Xian refused: "No! The captain's bones are not cold, how can you see it if you want to see it? ”
"You also know that the captain's bones are not cold? Carrying the captain to the shore early in the morning to be blown by the cold wind? You don't let me see, what are you afraid of? Bai Sha suddenly raised his voice and scolded.
Many crew members around began to whisper, and the crew members around Deputy Li Xian took a step forward, wanting to take down Baisha. Li Xian asked them to retreat, and thought about it in his heart: "I'll let you check, but what if you can't find the murderer?" ”
"Then you will treat me as a murderer and take my head, I will never say anything!" Bai Sha said with certainty.
Deputy Li Xian didn't expect the other party to be so happy, and after thinking about it, he really didn't leave any traces, so he agreed immediately. If it is said to be the safest method, it is undoubtedly to fan the crew to encircle and annihilate Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong, Bai Sha has almost no combat power, but the powerful Zheng Zhilong still makes Li Xian jealous, afraid that something will go wrong.
Bai Sha approached the body of Captain Li Xu, took a deep breath, squatted down and slowly uncovered the straw mat, Captain Li Xu was lying on the straw mat like this, with blood still hanging on the corners of his mouth.
Baisha is not a fake, it is impossible to find the answer in the corpse itself, the plan for now is to see if there is any evidence left in the hands of the captain Li Xu, I saw that the corner of the deputy Li Xian's clothes is missing, which is an important breakthrough in Baisha.
Continuing to uncover the straw mat, Captain Li Xu's hands were gradually revealed. This is a dead man, Bai Sha was a little scared in his heart, but he still had the courage to turn over the captain's hands Li Xu.
The dead have nothing in their hands!
Deputy Li Xian looked at Bai Sha who was looking for evidence, and sneered in his heart, the captain lying on the ground did not leave anything, and Deputy Li Xian had carefully checked it.
Zheng Zhilong was a little anxious, he knew that Bai Sha wanted to see if he could find the missing corner of his deputy Li Xian's clothes on the captain, and now it seemed that there was little hope.
The surrounding crew members did not dare to come out, quietly waiting for the result.
Bai Sha did not give up, and continued to search for the corpse's arms. Suddenly, Bai Sha's brow furrowed, as if he had found something.
The crew held their breath!
Bai Sha slowly pulled out the hand that was stretched into the corpse, and pulled out a piece of clothing with his two fingers in the middle of the food, Bai Sha stood up and looked at the corner of the clothes carefully, and then his eyes naturally fell on the corner of his deputy Li Xian's clothes.
The deputy looked at the corner of his clothes along Bai Sha's gaze, and was immediately furious, this is a false accusation! .
Without waiting for the other party to make a difficulty, Bai Sha preemptively said: "Please also ask the first mate to explain!" ”
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on the corners of the clothes of the deputy Li Xian and the inside of Bai Sha's hands, and they really fit together in comparison! No longer whispering, but an outburst.
The corner of the deputy's clothes Li Xian was indeed hung up last night, but it was hung up by the iron nails on the ship, Li Xian sneaked into the captain's residence last night only by poisoning, during which the two did not fight, and there was no movement at all, so everyone was not aware of it.
"Explain, explain!" Bai Sha scolded.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong also stood up, "It turns out that you are the real murderer of Uncle Li, if you don't explain it clearly today, I will definitely make your blood splash!" ”
Deputy Li Xian was very jealous of Zheng Zhilong, watched the other party draw out his long sword, and for a moment he was confused, and said that he leaked: "Impossible, I just poisoned him, and the corner of his clothes is not mine!" ”
"You poisoned the captain?!" Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong said in unison.
