Chapter 176: Spies
The caught infiltrator struggled for a moment, and then realized that he could not match Daniel behind him in terms of height or strength. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he glanced to the north where the carrier pigeons had flown away, and stopped resisting—at least, his goal had been achieved.
Lukka saw what he was thinking and nodded to Daniel, and the ghost dragged his captive a few steps north.
Behind the rocks, where I couldn't see just now, there was a mess.
In the moonlight, shut up and stand on the pigeon as a victor, its opponent clearly having a broken wing, and countless gray feathers scattered around it, with its, but more from the carrier pigeon.
In terms of size, the parrot is actually smaller than the pigeon, but it comes prepared to shut up, and obviously crushes the ordinary bird that does not understand anything intellectually, and this bird infighting lasted less than a minute before it ended.
"Now, Captain Gray McCian, please explain," Lukka shut up as he handed over the paper roll, "how did you get involved with the June Alliance navy, a pirate who didn't even bother to take a shower?"
With his question, Daniel put Gray still on the ground, and the latter's face turned pale at the sight of the carrier pigeon.
Soon, however, Gray recovered from his shock and laughed uncharacteristically, his voice dry, as if trying to get back to his usual tone.
"What more can I say, Captain Lester, what you have in your hand is enough to make you draw conclusions?" At the last word, Gray's voice had reverted to its usual state: pompous, slouchy, hippie smiley.
"I thought you knew me well enough, I've always been detail-oriented. Lukka said solemnly.
The word "detail" made Ollie almost burst out laughing, but given the current atmosphere, she stifled her laughter and turned it into an inexplicable dry cough.
It's not just Ollie who is disturbing the atmosphere, as on the way to the center of town, several drunken pirates hobbled by, one of them unbuttoning his pants and starting to release water on the side of the road, while the other yelled "Sunrise on Tata Island" urging his companions, completely unaware that he was heading to the western shore of the island.
"Shall we change places?" Crete asked in a low voice.
Lukka nodded. He didn't want to make it too big, if this Gray was really someone sent by the June Alliance, it would mean that Tata Island would have to break with the Alliance.
He and Taylor were barely acquaintances, if not allies, and even if this relationship was not considered, Lukka had no intention of putting the June Alliance against him in the current situation where Tata Island and the Imperial Navy were at odds.
"Let's go back first," Luca said, "Daniel, don't let him get into trouble." ”
Kate handed Daniel a roll of rope, and the ghost neatly tied Gray up, but after looking around, he couldn't find anything to gag his mouth. He moved quickly, and while Kate was still rummaging through her pocket for a handkerchief, a scepter struck Gray's head, and the latter fainted without saying a word.
"I can't die, I have experience!" Daniel's approach has always been so direct.
"Then you carry him back yourself, the others don't have the strength!" Lukka said, turning and leaving.
Actually, Ollie can carry it. Daniel muttered quietly, carrying Gray and following him.
......
When Gray woke up, the faint sunlight was shining through the east window.
He tried to raise his hand to block out the harsh sunlight, but the rope behind the chair that bound his hands stopped him, and then he realized that he was tied to the chair, his clothes cold and damp, and the constant sound of conversation in his ears made his headache worse.
"Are you sure you can't wake up?" was Ollie's voice.
"It's just that cold water works, I've even used hail, and it still hasn't moved!" Lukka followed. Although Gray didn't know what the "hail technique" was, he could roughly guess it when combined with the feeling of clammy and cold on his body.
"Cold water works is Nora's thing, not me!" Daniel defended himself.
"Isn't that how you usually faint?" Nora's voice was a little aggrieved, "If cold water doesn't work, try it with hot water?"
"Let you make it into boiling water, we don't eat people!" Luca thought for a moment, and then added half a sentence, "Eating people is not cooked." ”
Gray wanted to continue pretending to be dizzy, but when he heard this, he immediately changed his strategy, and was about to snort a few times to indicate that he had woken up, when Daniel's voice came from his ears again:
"If you are stunned by my scepter, you will be dizzy for six hours, not a minute, and it will be useless for you to use any method before this. ”
Lukka immediately asked, "When exactly did you knock him out?
"Well, if you count it as six hours, he should have woken up in—" It was Crete's voice, followed by the sound of a soo, probably in his pocket watch," five minutes ago. ”
"Really?" Lukka said, walking over to Gray, whose eyes were still closed.
"If the time comes, I will definitely wake up. If he doesn't move, you listen to Nora and try it with boiling water!" Daniel affirmed.
"No, I'm awake! I'm awake!" Gray opened his eyes at once.
Lukka smiled, "Don't pretend?" ”
With that, he walked back to his desk and sat down in the wide reclining chair.
Daniel walked over with his scepter, Kate hurried to follow with a pen and paper, and Crete sat in his chair and did not move, just watched from afar.
Three people are enough to interrogate prisoners: Daniel is responsible for intimidation, Kate is responsible for tracking down details, and Crete is responsible for discerning authenticity.
As for Luca and the rest of the crew, they were all a little tired after tossing all night, and there was no shortage of sofas in this study, and everyone was able to rest while supporting each other.
"I mean, Captain Lester, what else do you want to ask? yes, I'm a spy for the Alliance, do you need to say that?" said Gray nonchalantly.
"Are you the only spy on the island? Is there a spy in the Empire other than the Alliance? What is your contact with the upline, and what else is there besides the carrier pigeon?" Daniel asked, holding a note, which Kate had just written.
"Speak slowly, question by question. Kate whispered.
"Oh, good. Daniel smelled it and was about to start from scratch, but Gray interrupted him with a few laughs.
"Do you think I'll answer these questions?" said Gray, shrugged his shoulders, being tied to his chair distorted his movements.
