When the crisis was over, Charon put down his musket and left alone, and the sailors who had just fought side by side looked at him with awe, and no one came to rebuke him for shooting without permission, and the captain did not squeak, for there was no need for them to offend such a murderer.

In particular, one of the sailors asked, "Dude, you're also in the army, aren't you?"

Charon replied directly: "The garrison of the Southern Army in the Sain District. ”

The sailor, who was also a soldier, stiffened, and the other sailors stopped talking, the Southern Army is all unreasonable guys, and the wind evaluation has always been very bad, but the young man in front of him doesn't look like that, "Why did you join the army at such a young age, by the way, didn't the Southern Army just fight with the Flying Wing Kingdom last winter?"

Charon avoided answering the previous question, and said indifferently: "I just fought a war, and my left hand was lost there, so I left the army." ”

Uncovering other people's scars, the sailor was a little embarrassed, and just wanted to comfort and encourage him, he heard Charon say: "However, it feels good to kill enough before leaving." ”

This made the sailor speechless, and could only watch Charon return to the cabin, and said with a wry smile in his heart, the Southern Army is belligerent and bloodthirsty, and I don't know if this young man is affected by the atmosphere there, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to be disabled and leave the battlefield.

After the ship continued on its way, the ship began to work again, cleaning the deck, sending people to check whether there were any cracks in the hull, and the burial of several dead companions at sea.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Roger sent for all the passengers to be told to gather on deck.

"Gentlemen and ladies, you know what happened in the morning, so I don't have to repeat it, but there is something I still need to tell you!"

Roger stood in front of the crowd with four stretchers behind him, all wrapped in sackcloth, some of which were stained black with dried blood, "Early this morning, in order to protect the safety of everyone on this ship, a sailor lost an arm, and three sailors and a guard belonging to Mr. Duck fell into a long sleep. ”

"The four heroes are behind me at this time, and now we are holding a funeral for them, and I ask you to observe three minutes of silence for them. ”

Roger was the first to bow to the four victims, the other sailors also took off their hats, and the merchants and passengers were equally silent, and the atmosphere of the scene became solemn and solemn, and no one made a sound, for fear that the slightest sound would disturb the rest of the deceased.

After the ceremony, Roger turned around and bowed to everyone, "Everyone, according to the regulations, the dead on the ship are to be buried at sea, and the corpses cannot be left on the ship, otherwise it will cause disease after decay." But we're going to be in port tonight, and the bodies of these heroes won't deteriorate so quickly, and I'll isolate them in the little lookout room at the stern. ”

"I have a reluctant request here to let the bones of heroes return to their families, not to be buried in the belly of a fish. Roger looked at everyone sincerely, "We will also provide corresponding compensation for the inconvenience caused to you, and I hope you can understand." ”

Some of the passengers were dissatisfied, but after a few businessmen agreed, and most of the passengers agreed, they did not contradict it, and it was not a loss to have compensation anyway.

After everyone agreed, and the passengers thought they could leave, Roger suddenly raised his hand and stopped everyone's actions, "Don't worry, everyone, we have one more important thing here." ”

"The first thing to inform you is that shovel jumping fish are generally a dozen small-scale operations, and I have never heard of any of my colleagues encountering such a large school of shovel jumping fish. After getting out of danger, I asked the sailors to inspect the inside of the hull, only to find that the inner walls of the hull had been coated with some unknown cyan solution, which was also drenched on the outer walls of the hull. ”

"According to the preliminary speculation of the ship's doctors, it is very likely that this is the reason why the fish attacked the ship in a frenzy. So, this accident was man-made! Someone on board is going to murder everyone, and the murderer is among us!"

As soon as Roger finished speaking, everyone exploded, and they were very frightened at the thought of having such a mad person around them.

Charon carefully observed everyone's expressions, most of them were shocked and panicked, some people distanced themselves from the others, showing obvious distrust, and some had strange expressions and complicated changes, which was difficult to determine whether there was a suspicion, and a few people wearing veils and masks, and their eyes were not on his side, Charon was not sure that the murderer was not among them.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" Captain Roger raised his hands and suppressed everyone's voices, "Containers are needed to fill medicines, and containers are hidden in suitcases, and I have sent a few sailors down to thoroughly inspect your rooms when I invite you to come up." The type and number of suitcases are registered when you board the ship, and if you find that someone is missing a suitcase, or the suitcase is empty, and there is a container for liquids, it will be suspicious, and we will investigate in detail later. ”

"How can you do this?! without our consent, right?"

"I'm sorry for violating your **, but we have to do it!" Roger was tough, and his fierce expression quieted down several disgruntled passengers, "My sailors are dead, they can't die in vain, I have to give an account to their families, and at the same time be responsible for everyone's safety." This matter is just to inform you that there is no room for negotiation, even if several merchants are also subject to inspection, no exceptions!"

"Rest assured, the sailors I have called to inspect are clean and will not cause you any loss, and no one will say anything you are loading. If you still have any questions, you can come back to me and talk to me!"

Seeing Roger's attitude of not giving anyone compromise, Charon was quite appreciative, and the captain was so bold that he ignored the black faces of several merchants, apparently they did not know beforehand.

After a while, several sailors who had gone to check on came up, and at the same time they were carrying a suitcase, and Charon looked through a gap in the crowd, and it looked like his own black suitcase, and it seemed that the murderer's taste was similar to his own.

Several sailors walked up to Roger's side and whispered a report on what they had discovered, and after hearing this, Roger's eyes flashed with a cold light, and people used their bodies to block the view from behind, and opened the suitcase, which contained three empty glass bottles, which were also stained with green liquid, and filled half of the suitcase.

Roger asked a few merchants' guards to surround all the passengers, and at the same time ordered his sailors, because of the upwind position, and Roger was far away and his voice was low, Charon could not hear clearly, only some intermittent words.

"Don't try to separate the innocent passengers first, don't hurt them all cheer up, he's very strong"

It seems that this murderer has appeared in front of Roger's eyes and left an impression on him, is it because he is hiding in the room, so he doesn't know that there are people with good skills on the ship?

A group of sailors armed with muskets and muskets divided the passengers into several parts, and one by one the sailors instructed the passengers to go in all directions, and the scene was somewhat chaotic. Charon was a little puzzled, this captain was not mediocre, why bother making it so complicated, just find the murderer and take it directly.

"Sir, please go that way. ”

Charon followed the instructions and walked to the opposite side, but only after taking two steps, he realized that something was wrong.

The sailor was separated from the crowd and quietly made the passengers back away from him as he broke away from the crowd, and none of this escaped his senses.

"Are you so sure I'm the murderer?"

Charon did not stop, and still walked more than ten meters ahead according to the instructions of the sailor just now, at this time he was already alone, surrounded by everyone, and he was all enemies!
