Chapter 422: The Suicide and the Suspicion
The fat man named Bart listened to the words of the first mate, but he was not afraid at all, and kept shouting: "What captain! In my eyes, there is no captain! You are all dead now! Yes, dead people! If you don't return at once, you will all go to hell!"
"Bart!" Then the boatswain, third officer, and second mate of the ship all came out, and squeezed through the crowd and stood in a line with the first mate.
The boatswain was a young man with slender arms, named Paul, with red hair that looked like he was on fire. Holding a sailor knife in his hand, he angrily reprimanded the fat man, "Bart, what is the situation with you, if you say this kind of thing again, even if the captain doesn't reward you with the whip, I won't spare you! Give you a chance, put down the knife honestly, and go back to your kitchen to cook! Otherwise, I want you to look good!"
"Ha, do you want me to look good?" Fat Bart seemed to hear the most ridiculous words, his eyes widened, and he said loudly, "I'm saving your life, okay, if you don't listen to me, you will definitely regret it!"
"I think it's you who regret it!" the boatswain seemed to have endured to the limit, drew his sailor knife and approached Fat Bart, ready to settle the matter by force.
An ordinary sailor rushed out at this moment, and compared with the rest of the people, he was very short, thin, and looked weak. His name is Jack, and he has a good relationship with Bart, and he can't bear to see Bart get hurt. Grabbing the boatswain's feet, he persuaded, "Paul, boatswain, give Bart another chance, he must have been stimulated by something and was not conscious to say this." ”
"Get out of here!" the boatswain didn't bother to pay attention to Jack, kicked Jack over very hard, and continued to approach Bart, saying as he went, "What is not conscious, I think he has drunk too much! I don't want to drag this matter until the captain comes out of the captain's room, then everyone will be whipped!"
With that, the boatswain walked up to Bart and grabbed Bart's collar with one hand, and held the sailor's knife hard with the other, ready to respond to Bart's attack.
Barth's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Boatswain Paul, who swung his kitchen knife the next moment, forcing him back, and then put the knife on his neck.
Standing on the edge of the deck with his feet on his feet, Bart's expression was hideous and evil, and he was stunned, and said word by word: "Fools, you are all fools! I saved your lives, but you didn't listen! Okay, whatever you want." However, I don't want to go to hell with you, even if I die! If I die here, my soul can sleep peacefully, and I will always suffer if I die at the hands of demons!"
After saying the last word, Bart pulled the kitchen knife in his hand without hesitation, and cut the blood vessels on the side of his neck.
"Poof!"
Blood spurted out like a fountain in an instant, splashing Boatswain Paul in the face, and the next moment in the midst of everyone's exclamations, Bart shook his body with a strange smile on his face and fell on his back in the sea outside the deck.
"Poof!"
Blood continued to flow from the veins of Bart's neck, and soon a large blood-red flower was dyed on the surface of the sea.
At this time, the movement finally alarmed the captain who returned to the captain's room to rest.
With a bang, the door to the captain's cabin opened, and Captain Morgan, who was able and serious, walked out with a leather whip. Walking in front of the sailors gathered together, he was beaten without asking any questions, beating the sailors to the point that they were torn apart and screaming again and again.
After the fight, Captain Morgan turned his head, looked at the first mate, and asked, "Williams, you come and tell me what's going on here." Noisy, what does it look like?!"
"Well, that's the captain......" Boatswain Paul replied, and the next moment a whip swept past his ears with the sound of the wind breaking.
Paul was startled, and when he looked up, he saw Captain Morgan looking at him coldly: "Did I let you speak? Are you deaf, I'll let Williams answer." ”
"Well, yes. Frightened, Paul shrank his neck, stood aside and shut his mouth.
"Williams, you go into detail and tell me about it. Captain Morgan looked at the first mate again and ordered.
"Yes. The first mate spoke, and recounted what had happened without any personal feelings.
"That's it? Bart went crazy, said a bunch of crazy things, and then killed himself?"
"Yes. ”
Captain Morgan frowned, turned his head to look at the sailor who was beaten to the side, and asked in a loud voice, "Who of you had the last contact with Bart?"
After a moment of silence, a man raised his hand weakly, it was Jack, the sailor who had just tried to stop the boatswain from being kicked.
"It's you. Captain Morgan glanced coldly at the thin Jack and said loudly, "Well, tell me when you had contact with Bart, and what special behavior did he have?"
"I had my last contact with Bart, in the kitchen not long ago, and I don't think there was anything out of the ordinary......" Jack said.
"Think about it. Captain Morgan had a serious expression.
"Forehead......" Forced by the captain's oppression, Jack struggled to recall, and after a long time, his eyes lit up, "By the way, I remember that in the kitchen, Bart was cooking, and suddenly asked me, 'Did you hear any strange noises'."
I didn't hear it at all, and he didn't say anything more. Then, after a while, he suddenly took the knife and rushed out screaming, but he couldn't stop it. In the end, it became like this...... Oops!
At the end of the sentence, Jack suddenly screamed twice, and it was Captain Morgan who beat him with a whip.
"Captain, ...... you" Jack's head was bleeding, and while he covered his head, he looked at Captain Morgan with twinkling eyes, a little puzzled.
"Hmph. Captain Morgan snorted coldly and gave an explanation, "These two whips are for you to know, and if you ask you in the future, you must answer seriously, don't wait for me to ask before thinking about it seriously, understand?"
"Yes......" Jack quickly lowered his head, not daring to refute anything.
"Hmph, dada......"
Captain Morgan snorted coldly again, walked to the side of the ship, looked at Bart's body soaked in the seawater, turned back to everyone on deck and announced loudly: "Bart, he is sick and crazy, so if he dies, he will die, this matter is over, and everyone is not allowed to discuss this matter again in the future, otherwise I will find out and hang directly on the mast and whip him!"
"By the way, Williams, I remember Bart had a wife, right?" asked Captain Morgan suddenly.
"Yes. First Officer Williams replied quickly.
"Well, remember, when it's time to return home, let the ship stay in the harbor where Bart's house is located for half a day, and you take two years' normal crew's salary, as a pension, and give it to Bart's wife. ”
"I remembered. ”
"That's good. Captain Morgan nodded, "The other thing is the kitchen, Bart is the cook, he committed suicide, the kitchen must be too busy, and someone needs to be transferred to the kitchen." ”
Turning his head, Captain Morgan set his eyes on Jack, who was still bleeding, and said loudly, "You said just now that you were in the kitchen with Bart before he died, right?"
"Yes, I'll do some chores for him......" Jack whispered.
"Well, from today onwards, you can help out in the kitchen. ”
"Ah!" cried out Jack, "but captain, I don't know how to cook, in case...... Oops!"
Then Jack screamed again, and Captain Morgan whipped him hard.
Captain Morgan's voice was undeniable: "I don't need to hear the word 'no', I hear it."
'You can do it,' you know?"
"I ...... Oops!"
"Do you understand?" asked Captain Morgan, with another whip drawn.
"Well, yes...... It's ......" Jack was covered in blood, and he didn't dare to say a word at all, so he hurriedly responded.
"That's right, all right, everybody goes about their business and sails according to the plan. Captain Morgan flicked his whip and commanded.
Immediately everyone dispersed, and Jack groaned and walked towards the kitchen.
Captain Morgan turned, glanced at Richard, an ordinary passenger in the lower cabin, who had been standing in the corner of the deck watching the show, and then walked into the captain's cabin without saying anything.
Next, the "Naru Glorious Fisherman" continued to move towards the sea, and Bart, the chef who turned into a corpse, was thrown farther and farther behind the ship.
......
On the empty deck, Richard touched his nose slightly, squinted at the shore in the distance, and then looked at the corpse in the water, thoughtfully.
Originally, he thought that the soothsayer woman could not affect the ships at sea, but now he was suspicious.
Because the performance and words of Chef Bart just now really have an inexplicable relationship with the divination woman.
Could it be that the soothsayer woman used strange means to control Bart's spirit and try to stop the merchant ship?
If this is the case, then the next voyage will not be too peaceful. According to the nature of the divination woman, if she fails this time, she will definitely not give up, and it won't be long before she has the next action.
Such......
Be vigilant.
Other than that...... Then again, what is the purpose of the divination woman's deliberate delay in time?
Richard on the deck thought for a long time, his eyes became a little sharp, and he said to himself: "It seems that this trouble should not be avoided." However, although I hate trouble, I am not afraid of trouble. If someone is really looking for trouble, then let me see how big the trouble is! I'll wait!"
With that, Richard stepped off the deck, walked back to the cabin, and led Pandora into the Garden of Eden in the suitcase.
