Chapter 257: Who is the murderer

"Haojing, here in Haojing, is there a lot of such things as robbing sailors?"

Lin Xiao called the guy surnamed Li and asked slowly.

"Not much...... Sailors are rough men with strength, and they don't leave their swords and guns on weekdays, let alone rob them, and generally no one dares to steal them. ”

The guy surnamed Li replied cautiously, "Unless, offend the gang......"

"That'...... Will the sailors see each other's money red and black and black? ”

"This kind of offense...... Once it is revealed, even if you plan to get a vote and run away, you will not be able to escape the pursuit,"

The guy pondered and said, "Besides, as far as Andre's money is concerned, I'm afraid it ......."

That's it!

Since it is unlikely that he will be black, the possibility of this Andre being killed by his accomplices for participating in a conspiracy is getting bigger and bigger.

The "Longsheng" has many cabins and complex structures, and it is almost impossible for the killers of this era, if there is no response from the inner ghosts, no matter how sharp their hands and feet are, it is almost impossible to kill more than ten crew members in a short period of time without resistance.

Speaking of which, the "Longsheng", a big iron ship with a strange shape, is really too eye-catching to stop in this place, and there are no guns on board, so it is not a warship at first glance, and there must be many people who covet it.

However, who was the person who could immediately win over Andre not long after he came ashore, and was willing to risk being shot dead to commit such a shocking case?

Portuguese? Dutch? Briton?

Or is it some other pirate gang?

……

"Commander-in-Chief ......"

Just as Lin Xiao was meditating, Situ Zheng, who had turned to the outside of the house to inspect, flashed in and said in a low voice, "Captain's side...... Something went wrong......"

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao snorted subconsciously, lowered his head and went out, outside the door, there were three special combat team members, one of whom was carrying the radio.

They were originally guarding the entrance of the alley, but after receiving an emergency call from the captain Zhang Chenfeng, they came to report.

……

Zhang Chenfeng took a few special combat team members, led by another guy surnamed Li, and soon came to the dock area, the bar where Sailor Roy had appeared......

The city itself is not big, there is nothing to see, and the famous scenic spots in later generations have either not been built in this era, or belong to the military forbidden area, and people are not approached at all.

And the magnificent, Baroque style and oriental carving techniques of the fusion of the "Oriental Vatican" St. Paul's Church, known as the "Oriental Vatican", is not open on Sundays, and is located at the foot of Fortress Hill, too close to the barracks, outsiders dare not go casually.

As for the houses of the Francophiles, although they look small and chic, and the lazy sound of the piano and the low singing of women from time to time come from the closed windows, which makes people think about it, but this is someone else's private house after all.

As a result, merchants and sailors from all over the world who came to pan for gold gathered in the docks to have fun when they came ashore.

In addition to the many shops, the streets near the dock area are lined with Chinese and Western taverns and brothels, and from time to time there are small traders, groups of porters and some foreigners who look savage and come in strange costumes.

Especially in the evening, people of all colors come and go more than during the day, and it is very lively.

Yellow-haired, blue-eyed and red-skinned Norsemen, light-brown-skinned and black-haired Latinos, short, yellow-eyed Southeast Asian natives, short Japanese with shaved hair in a semicircle, dark-skinned Ahsan, and authentic black Africans with black skin and only white eyes...... There are almost a few of them here.

Most of the people in charge of soliciting customers in the brothels were locals, and they were not afraid of oil and salt, and as soon as they saw the haggard, ragged Western sailors, some of whom were probing their brains at the door, they immediately warmly beckoned them in a miscellaneous language.

This kind of single merchant from a distant land, or a sailor who has just come ashore, is a long-term husband, and their money is best earned.

They have been adrift at sea for many months, they are in urgent need of venting, to soothe their emotions, and they happen to have money in their hands, and most of them don't have to think about supporting their families, basically as long as they have good wine, or a good-looking woman, they are willing to spend a lot of money, drunk and dreamy.

……

In front of Zhang Chenfeng and his entourage was a medium-sized bar, occupying the ground floor of a tall house, with two hanging windows on the faΓ§ade, and a lantern dangling in the arched doorway.

On the signboard picked out, a big wine glass was drawn, and there was an exaggerated line of Portuguese characters written next to the wine glass, Zhang Chenfeng looked at it for a long time and didn't understand it.

"Sir, the name of this bar is Resurrection...... Resurrection Bar. ”

Seeing this, the guy surnamed Li, who led the way, stepped forward and whispered.

This guy is much younger than the guy who is also surnamed Li and led the way for Lin Xiao, and he is one of Jack Lee's eyeliners, and he is mixed around the dock on weekdays, spying on all kinds of information, and he is familiar with all three sects and nine streams.

The ability of a person who does this kind of work to observe words and emotions and knock on the side is more important than the ability to fight!

"Stay outside and guard the front and back doors."

Zhang Chenfeng gave the order in a low and hurried voice, turned his head and said to the guy, "Xiao Li, let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

As soon as he entered the door and walked into the dark atrium, a noisy sound and strong smell of wine and smoke came to his face, and Zhang Chenfeng was so smoky by the smoke inside that he almost couldn't open his eyes.

After a while, I got used to the dim light inside, and I saw a group of sailors of different skin tones, sitting by the door and swallowing the clouds, not paying attention to the new people, and a few sailors' knives were placed on the small table.

On a rectangular counter in front of him, a small candlestick shimmers dimly, sending a cordial greeting to visitors, clearly soliciting customers.

The countertop was nailed with a layer of lead and placed wine glasses of various sizes, and on the wall behind the counter was a wooden board with several glass bottles in the shape of droplets.

These bottled wines, which are the rarest things of this era, are all directly from Europe across the ocean, even if the rum or wine in them has long been drunk, those empty bottles, are reluctant to throw away.

The whole bar is the size of two facades, and the customers are men and women, some with rough and rude faces, some vulgar and obscene when talking and laughing, and some are silent and melancholy, demented and dull.

In one corner, several drunken people were shouting and singing......

Walking past the counter, through the crack of a door, the naked flesh shimmered in the jewels, and the thick gasping sound of a man faintly sounded.

In the middle corner, under the dark red candlelight, in front of a small stage, more people are seated.

A scantily clad dancer is performing a dance in the center of the stage......

When sailors meet here, they will always meet a few familiar people, and their dull eyes will immediately be full of life.

Westerners in this era, whether it's casual chatting or indulging in pleasure, the best place to go is a bar.

This place of adventurers and paupers is the last remnant of a world of unbridled lust.

Here, desires and thoughts can be vented in a rude and unrestrained manner; Here, everything you want is available, women and gambling, drinking and merry, adventures, all sorts of dirty and great ......

Here is a dark forest of passions, which is stirred by what it reveals; Because of what is hidden, it is seductive......
