Chapter 61: Nothing

Without Evan commanding, Gary shouted and led the sailors, drew their muskets and swarmed them, surrounding the lion's head and all his subordinates.

Although it seems that most of them don't know the hidden secret, at least they are accomplices, but they can't simply let go. Even the crew members of the merchant ships were ordered to disembark and be inspected.

"Hold your head and squat!"

Knowing that the seriousness of this matter was beyond his control, Evan immediately sent his sailors to report to Gehr.

Ai Wen himself walked up to the lion's head and looked at him for a while, and the momentum of the transcendent on his body was slightly released: "Say, who are you? What is the purpose of engaging in these things?"

The lion's head stiffened, shocked by the extraordinary coercion on Aiwen's body, as if he was being targeted by a large predator in the mountains, and he didn't dare to move, and the last thought of resistance in his heart melted like ice and snow.

"Don't, don't kill me, I'm just following orders...!"

......

It didn't take long for a large group of people to rush over from the direction of the island.

Not only Gehr, who received the notice, but also Vice Admiral Snyter, the supreme commander of the Third Fleet here, and the two rear admirals of the Martial Arts faction who came here from the First and Second Fleets, all the senior naval officers on this island have already arrived!

As a matter of fact.

In addition to the personnel and captains who were on duty every day, most of the high-ranking officers who participated in the celebration lived in the hotel. When Gehr, who received the report, reported to Lieutenant General Snaitter, the other officers were also on the scene, and when they heard that someone was planning a bombing attack on the celebration day, everyone could not sit still.

Can you sit still?!

You know, if there are really heavy casualties in such a large-scale celebration of the kingdom, not to mention the possibility of being held accountable and removed, at least it will be a major stain on the future career.

Not only a few chief officials, but one of these people present can't run away!

By the time they arrived at the docks, the interrogation had already ended. This seemingly mighty lion-headed Barry is actually not a hard bone, and after two intimidations, he said everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"Well done! Captain!"

Met with the friendly gaze of a group of senior officers, Evan handed the interrogation transcript to Lieutenant General Snyter. There may be differences in the strength of the three fleets but there is no subordinate relationship, and at this time, it is natural that the highest-ranking lieutenant general is in charge.

It's just that to Aven's surprise, he actually saw a serious "Zorro" in a military uniform in the crowd. At this time, I couldn't hide, so I could only pretend that nothing happened, hand over my confession, and after receiving some praise and encouragement from the lieutenant general, I stepped aside.

He didn't know that the two had already met, and it was this Mr. Zorro who reminded him.

When he saw that the dust had settled, "Zorro", who expected the possible development of the follow-up, had already run back to the hotel to change his clothes, and then ran over with the large army to watch the excitement.

The lion's confession was circulated in the hands of the officers, but all of them frowned a little, just because there was really not much value in the confession, so it could be said that nothing was obtained.

This main culprit, Lion Head, is just a small leader of a black force called the "Bloody Hand Gang", who has accepted anonymous employment from others to make some arrangements at the celebration venue according to their requirements.

All he was tasked with was to disassemble the fireworks, recharge them, and send them to the celebration disguised as normal fireworks, not even knowing what the effect of the fireworks would be when they were finally lit.

The confession of his deputy is also similar, only a little more than the lion's head, and these people are actually just taking private jobs, borrowing the name of the Bloody Hand Gang, and even the upper echelons of the gang don't know about it.

"Your Excellency General, it's really none of our business......"

To translate simply, these two guys are simple tool people who don't know anything other than being responsible for execution.

Ewen and the officers believed this, because after checking the gunpowder, several gunners on the battleship who arrived later agreed that this should be the work of an alchemist!

The energy released by the blended gunpowder is not as good as the original, but the sparks after the explosion are extremely lethal, and if they are concentrated in the celebratory crowd, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When used well, it is more lethal than military gunpowder of the same weight, because the most terrible thing about it is that the subsequent burns will be very painful.

It's just that this new type of gunpowder has the problem of extreme instability, and it can only be temporarily mixed when it is used. Therefore, the division of two types of fireworks is not only for precautionary inspection, but also for practical needs.

And the most vicious thing is that after the fireworks, the first to be unlucky are these people who are directly below the explosion range of the "fireworks", and the anonymous hires do not think about the lives of these guys at all.

What's more, black organizations like the "Bloody Hand Gang" are all guys who don't want to die when they see money, and they don't care who the hirer is when they give enough money.

Moreover, this gang force is very different from pirates, who have to cling to the civilized world to survive when they hide in the sea. It's okay to make a small fuss in the gray area, but this kind of blatant opposition to the kingdom's officials is absolutely not daring to do.

Therefore, the likelihood that their upper echelons will have a connection with the employer is very low.

But in this way, the clue was completely cut off, and in addition to harvesting a bunch of discarded children, it did not solve the fundamental problem. As long as the people behind the scenes want to, a new attack can be brewed at any time.

The group fell silent.

Then.

Evan didn't hide that he had actually been reminded of the problem by someone else, and he also handed in two crossbow arrows, saying that he might know something from the reminder.

Lieutenant General Snaith took the crossbow and glanced vaguely at his son.

"Let's look for this friend, who can find the hidden assailant and maybe help us a lot later, and maybe know more about it. An officer of the First Fleet proposed from the side.

"Seconded! No clue can be missed. ”

This island is so big, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone. ”

"No, he didn't show up, obviously he didn't want to make a direct contact with the navy, and exposing him would easily provoke the black hand to retaliate. We are the Navy, not unscrupulous pirates. This proposal was directly vetoed by Lieutenant General Snaitter.

Others thought that what the lieutenant general said was very reasonable, so they did not mention the matter again.

In the end, there was no clue to be discussed, and the vice admiral could only order that all the navy be assigned to security posts to increase the level of security for the celebration and ensure that there were no accidents during the seven-day celebration.

And then.

Send some young people in casual clothes to blend in with the crowd, grasp the movements of the people on the island in advance, and pay attention to the strange whereabouts of the crowd. At the same time, arrangements were made for communication terns capable of long-distance flights to report the situation to the naval headquarters and wait for instructions.

However, some were unwilling, and some interrogators dragged the lion head and his deputy down for re-interrogation. As for what they ended up with, no one cared anymore.
