Chapter 39: The Scapegoat

After dealing with the pirates, Qiu He walked towards the naval base.

Cleaning up the corpses piled up on the streets and repairing damaged buildings are all matters for the navy, and Qiu He does not plan to participate.

Normally, Qiu He should wait for the navy to finish busy and go to receive the bounty tomorrow, but he was afraid that the group of bigwigs in the Gran Branch would directly divide the credit today, and how would he receive the bounty at that time, after all, there was a precedent.

Qiu He walked slowly on the road to the naval base, and most of the empty streets were filled with the figure of the navy escorting pirates, and civilians could only see a few scattered, but they were slowly increasing.

The news that the pirates had been subdued had already been informed to the civilians by the navy, and the civilians who had been hiding began to come out one after another, and some of the brave ones even took tools to help the navy clean up the streets.

Since the high-end combat power did not enter the city, the loss of the pirates landing on Gran Island this time should not be too serious, and most of the people Qiu He knew were in the center of the city, so there was no need to worry too much.

Xiao Jin, who was lying on Qiu He's shoulder, lifted his tail and gently poked Qiu He's cheek with the tip.

"What, finished eating again?"

Qiu He glanced at Xiao Jin, revealing a helpless expression.

From the time Xiao Jin was summoned out again, only about ten minutes had passed, and Xiao Jin had eaten five apples in a row, and these apples were heavier than its body, and Qiu He really didn't know how it swallowed it.

However, whoever made him open his mouth to make such a promise, as long as Jin still wanted to eat the apple, he would have to take it out until it could be eaten.

"It seems that after receiving the bounty, I have to buy apples, and I don't know if there is something wrong with the uncle."

Taking out a red apple from his backpack again, and looking at the few remaining items in his backpack, Qiu He had to decide to make another trip to the port later.

If you don't stuff a sufficient amount of apples into Xiao Jin today, it will be awkward again.

Walking to the gate of the naval base, Qiu He happened to meet Tina who was leading the team to escort the pirates back, he lifted the brim of his hat a little, revealing most of his face, and stretched out his hand to say hello.

"See you again, Tina ~ Dazuo."

Qiu He looked at Tina with a smile on her face, she was in a hurry before, and she didn't have time to look carefully, but now that she is watching it so closely, I have to admit that she is indeed very beautiful.

As a beauty, she is naturally privileged, and Qiu He generously forgave her for the misunderstanding that happened before, and she had nothing to lose anyway.

"What are you going to do?"

Originally, she was a little relieved because she had captured so many living pirates, but when she saw Qiu He who appeared not far away, she suddenly became vigilant, afraid that Qiu He would suddenly make a move and kill all these pirates.

"Peace of mind, I'm not a murderer, I'm not so bold as to dare to kill the pirates caught by the navy here."

Qiu He spread out his hands and made a harmless expression.

"I'm here to receive the bounty, and Tina Dazuo should tell them my share of the credit!"

Tina stared at Qiu He and didn't say anything, but the anger on her face could be seen by anyone. She took a women's cigarette out of her pocket and put it in her mouth.

"Girls should smoke less."

Qiu He walked up to Tina and persuaded with a smile.

Qiu He doesn't like to smoke, this thing costs money and is not good for the body. But he generally doesn't point fingers at other people's hobbies, but when he sees a beautiful woman smoking, he doesn't think it's good, so he advises him.

Ignoring Qiu He, she took out the fire and lit a cigarette and took a puff.

Qiu He shook his head, walked past Tina and walked towards the base.

"If you smoke too much, your teeth will turn yellow, your skin will deteriorate, and you will have bad breath, and you won't be beautiful at that time! Tina beauty. ”

Tina paused with her hand holding the cigarette, looked at the burning cigarette in her hand, showed a look of struggle, and finally threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out with her foot.

At this time, Qiu He, who had hidden his merits and fame, had already walked into the naval base and waited in the reception room under the leadership of a navy.

Qiu He was leisurely eating snacks and drinking tea in the reception room, and Kevin, as the manager of the base, was struggling with how to deal with this incident.

Although the invasion of the pirates was stopped in time and the damage to the city was not serious, there were many dead and injured civilians. After all, this is a group of pirates who are holding their breath at sea, and they really kill people when they land on the island.

In this incident, we must quickly find someone to take the blame, and then send the results to the headquarters, otherwise when the headquarters comes to deal with it, Kevin will have to bear a lot of responsibility.

As for concealing this incident from the headquarters, Kevin didn't dare to think about it, not to mention that his goddess Tina Dazuo had a hard time, and Major General Stanley, who might arrive at any time in the past two days, would definitely not be able to get through.

Thinking of this, Kevin had an even more headache, thinking that he would come to the headquarters of Dazuo, relying on a few years of operation, he, the head snake, should be able to suppress this strong dragon, who knew that it was actually his goddess who was sent.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad, his goddess is a little disgusted with him, usually deliberately alienates him, and will not point fingers at his management, just do what support personnel should do.

However, just two days ago, Tina suddenly told him that Major General Stanley, who had come to support, would arrive in the near future. It wasn't until that time that Kevin knew that Gran Island, like the rest of the three seas, had been sent by the Navy Headquarters to send a rear admiral to support, but his rear admiral here came relatively late.

That's a major general, no matter how strong he is, no matter how strong he is, he is only a branch commander, and he has no qualifications or ability to suppress the major general.

Kevin wanted to do his duty recently, do things with peace of mind, and try to keep the island out of trouble. When the clean-up was over and the support staff left, he got up and jumped again.

Who knew that in a pinch, something like this would happen.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and Kevin quickly sorted out his clothes and controlled his face to make a blank look.

For the sake of leadership, you must not let the people below guess what you are thinking.

"Come in."

"Kevin Dazuo."

Kevin's lieutenant opened the door and walked in and gave him a military salute.

"What's the matter?"

"Bounty hunter Qiu He came to receive the bounty of the sparkling wine pirates, although he did not bring the body of the pirates, but there is a guarantee from Tina Dazuo as a witness, please ask if the bounty will be paid."

The adjutant placed the document on Kevin's desk, along with a copy of the incident that Kevin had asked him to compile, which was written in great detail.

Kevin flipped through the information and suddenly had an idea.

"yes, that's fine."

Kevin muttered to himself and signed his name on the paper.

"No problem, pay him all the bounties of the Sparkling Wine Pirates."

"Yes!"

The adjutant took the papers, saluted Kevin again, and opened the door to leave.

"The credit for this time is all given to him, but it's a pity that this pirate leader is a newcomer, and he only has a bounty of 30 million Bailey, and it seems that he still has to let people publicize his previous achievements. The families of the deceased had to find someone to warn them, to keep the impact of the incident to a minimum, and to find a scapegoat with sufficient weight. Well~ It's just you, although some can't stand you, but who makes you the most suitable. Who handles it...... It seems that Finn can only go. ”

Fingers tapped over the materials on the table, and a smile appeared on Kevin's face again.
