Chapter 11: Sword Fingers
The first half of the Great Voyage, the island of Stella! All of the Yuri Pirates gathered around Captain Yuri. A young pirate is in the middle of the crowd talking about the theft he found this morning.
"Captain, I got up this morning to patrol the treasure room as usual, but I found that all the treasures in the treasure room were gone! Moreover, there is no sign of being pried, someone must have stolen the key to open the door and stole our treasure! ”
"Hmph, you say that someone else has stolen the treasure, so why can't it be that you stole the treasure? Can't it be you who are guarding and stealing yourself? Then report that the treasure was stolen and clear his suspicion. Yuri didn't speak, just sat there with a calm face, but Chaban took over and asked.
"Chief of Staff, how could I possibly steal the treasure? If I wanted to steal, I would have stolen all my treasures, and would I have waited until now? Moreover, I came from the same town as the regimental commander, and I still have to call the regimental commander uncle, how can I steal my family's treasure? The young pirate Tari argued to Chaban.
"yes, Tari is Captain Yuri's nephew, he can't steal the treasure that belongs to the captain, right?" A pirate who knows about Tari's relationship with the captain said.
"That's not necessarily, there are so many treasures, but it's easy to be greedy, after all, we just robbed the treasure of a large pirate group before, that's more than all the treasures we grabbed before! Who knows if it was because Tari felt that there was too little treasure in the past, and it was not interesting to start and steal it now! Said a pirate who usually doesn't have a good relationship with Tari.
"Like, the treasure we just snatched from that large pirate group is worth 200 million Bailey! All the treasures we robbed in the North Sea before were less than 100 million Baileys, maybe the tower didn't steal it! ”
"Don't spew blood, I'm the captain's nephew, how can I steal the captain's treasure?" As soon as Tari heard that someone had framed him like this, he immediately retorted loudly.
"Well, I'm sure Tari won't steal, I know him! Let's look for the real thief! Captain Yuri spoke at this time.
"Captain, I think we haven't left this town, maybe this thief who stole things is still near this town, and besides, there are so many things, he can't take them all in one night, so the treasure must still be on this island!" Tataroni also continued with the words of Captain Yuri.
"Hmph, if I let me know who stole our treasure, I'll break his head!" Jace is still the same tendon.
Hearing Jace's words, everyone nodded seriously, after all, some of these treasures are theirs, and this is related to their own vital interests, can you not be in a hurry!
Yuri watched everyone's discussion and looked at Chaban for a moment. Everyone's emotions have been stirred up, so it's time for the next one!
"Everyone be quiet, our priority now is to find the clue first, after all, a door was opened by a key without prying. So, now let's all make our own arrangements, pack our belongings, and let me check to see who really stole our treasure! Chaban waved at everyone, stopping everyone's chaotic discussion!
Hearing Chaban's words, everyone quieted down, and when they heard that Chaban was going to check everyone's personal belongings, some people felt that it didn't matter, and some people looked uncertain, but in the face of such a big crime as stealing collective treasure, many people did not dare to express their dissatisfaction.
Thirty minutes later, everyone was back in their positions, each holding their own things, but Newgate didn't take anything, and just stood there with his shoulders crossed all the time, without any movement!
Yuri saw that everyone had arrived, and didn't care that Newgate didn't move, just nodded at Chaban, and Chaban began to check everyone's things.
There were nearly 400 Yuri Pirates, and it took an hour to check them one by one, and for this hour, everyone stood there waiting, and after an hour, everyone finished checking. In fact, it is all useless work, and if someone really steals something, no one will hide it in their own house.
Chaban looked at Yuri, who nodded quietly. Chaban looked at Newgate who was standing there motionless, although he was afraid, but Chaban could only step forward and say to Newgate: "Newgate, what do you get?" ”
Newgate looked at Chaban and then at Yuri, and didn't speak, just glanced at Yuri.
"Hey, hey, Chief of Staff, how could you suspect Newgate? You know, these two times, if it weren't for Newgate, we wouldn't have been able to grab the treasure, and we wouldn't have escaped in the hands of the navy? "There are pirates who have a good relationship with Newgate and see Chaban and start to suspect Newgate, and say directly.
"Well, how could we have been able to have a banquet here without Newgate? And, as we all know, Newgate doesn't usually like treasure at all, and you shouldn't doubt Newgate at all! Another pirate who had been close to Newgate spoke.
Chaban watched someone help Newgate speak, and his heart immediately became nervous. However, I was relieved to see that it was only a few pirates who were usually close to Newgate who were talking for Newgate.
In fact, the strategy that Chaban discussed with Yuri yesterday was to use the treasure affair to achieve the goal of driving out Newgate. Because Chaban knew that Newgate would not let them inspect Newgate's personal belongings, because Newgate was a proud man. And the reason why Chaban waited for everyone to be inspected before looking for Newgate was also to use this incident to separate Newgate from everyone, after all, everyone else had finished checking, and Newgate was not checked, and everyone would be unbalanced. This would allow no one to speak for Newgate at this time, so that even if everyone reacted later, Captain Yuri would be able to explain the past.
Chaban was relieved to see that there were only three or five people who spoke for Newgate. It's not that Newgate's prestige has decreased, it's just that everyone's vital interests are at stake now, so everyone is silent. After all, not everyone trusts others unconditionally!
