In the face of dozens of black cannons on the Lin Ying, the Westerners had absolutely no chance to resist or escape, so they had to let the sailors of the Jinyi Official Academy and the Wufeng Maritime Merchants jump on the ship, lock their ships with iron chains, and be towed back to the Moon Port by the Lin Ying.

A group of Western sailors squatted on the deck with their heads hung down, and the red-haired Rob had a sad face, constantly drawing crosses on his chest, and said in Portuguese: "God, forgive us our sins, will this be the end of the trip to the East?" ”

"There is a beautiful lady in the far east, waiting for us to save her! It seems that I can only lose faith in Father Fregorio, please find another ship from Macau," Wawe also cried with a sad face, scratched his golden hair, and said depressedly: "I thought it was a legendary story of a knight saving the princess, but I didn't expect the knight to be involved in an unprovoked disaster halfway...... Poor princess, she may never have a chance to escape the clutches. ”

Rob complained: "Our country is more pitiful than that lady, and beautiful Portugal is groaning under the clutches of Spain, my friend!" ”

Vawe shrugged his shoulders and gave a helpless expression.

"Hey, what are you talking about? No collusion! The ox waved the iron rod vigorously, and said fiercely.

Rob and Vawe both shrunk their necks and closed their mouths and did not dare to speak again, lest they anger the fierce general, and then even Yanjing would not be able to save them.

On the Lin Ying, Qin Lin invited Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong, who had just boarded the ship, to drink the Longjing tea he brought from Hangzhou.

Yu and Shen had long known that Qin Lin and the Wufeng Ship Owner had a close relationship, and at this time, they couldn't help but secretly sigh that the benefactor was really only a great hero.

After a few pleasantries, and quickly to the point, Qin Lin blew tea and asked casually: "Those Westerners just said that your magistrates here are not authentic?" ”

Yu Zhigao frowned, and said extremely dissatisfied: "If you return to your teacher, Haicheng Zhixian is called Xue Xinyan, this person's surname is greedy and despicable, and he is an official who is stupid, although he has no bad deeds, but the government affairs are really messy. ”

I'll just say it! Qin Lin nodded, the ships on the dock were in a mess, and the originally well-trained sailors were blocked by merchant ships and could not go to sea, which can be seen in the management of this port.

"So, what is the situation of the murder case suspected by the Westerners?" Qin Lin asked again.

"Speaking of which, this case is also going to be regarded as a headless case, only a few pieces of the corpse cut into pieces have been found, and the head has not been found until now", Yu Zhigao shook his head and roughly explained the facts of the case.

The body was found by a vendor who rowed a small boat to sell rice pastries in the port, and the day before yesterday morning when he rowed a small boat to sell snacks to the sailors on the big boat, he suddenly found that a piece of white flowers on the sea was sinking and floating, and he didn't care about it, but he rowed closer, and the thing was a piece of people's **!

The peddler almost fell into the sea in fright, returned to the shore at a loss, and hurried to the county office to report to the official.

Human lives were at stake, and the magistrates did not dare to be careless, so they immediately dispatched a large number of arresting officials and carried out large-scale salvage on dozens of boats, hoping to recover more corpses from the water.

Although Xue Xinyan is mediocre and incompetent, he still knows the basic things in the criminal name, the more corpse pieces found in the corpse shredding case, the more complete the human body can be put together, and the clues to solve the case will naturally be a few more points.

It's a pity that in the vast sea, the chance of being able to salvage the corpse parts again is really slim, and I was busy for most of the day, searching the entire Yuegang Wharf three times, and finally only found three corpse parts.

There is no way to do it, there are fish in the sea, maybe other corpses have been eaten by the fish, or they have drifted away with the tide and cannot be found at all.

But with three corpses, it was already certain that it was a homicide, and no one could cut off such a large piece of flesh and still live.

"Then why do you suspect these Westerners?" Jin Sakurahime couldn't help but interject, "There are hundreds of boats parked on the dock, and these corpses are floating everywhere with the tide, even if they happen to be near the Westerners' ships, they can't just say that they killed them!" ”

Yu Zhigao said disdainfully: "Isn't it because the Francophone likes to mess with flowers?" The yellow-haired Wawe, who didn't know how to talk sweetly, hooked up with a local private kiln prostitute, and the day before the body was found, the secret prostitute suddenly disappeared, so it was inevitable to suspect that he had a dispute with the girl, so he killed and divided the body. ”

"It's a shame that these Francophiles look like ghosts, and there are women who can look down on them," Shen Yourong was amazed, and soon found that there was a female dependent, Jin Yingji, and quickly closed his mouth again.

At this time, China was the upper state of the Celestial Empire, and he looked down on foreigners from the East and the West, so Shen Yourong would feel strange, even if Wawei hooked up with a lowly secret prostitute, he thought it was incredible.

The next thing is the reason for the pursuit: when the body was first discovered, the county yamen did not know that the kiln sister had disappeared, and they did not suspect the head of this group of Westerners, until the third day, that is, this morning, Sister Yao's concubine hurriedly came to report the disappearance, and the county magistrate Xue Xinyan suddenly realized that he sent the official to arrest the murderer.

Rob and Wawe pretended to be tame, and suddenly drove the boat away, and the small boat turned nimbly, and passed between thousands of ships, and the servants were caught off guard, and they were washed out of the harbor.

Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong of the sailor battalion immediately led the ships out to sea to pursue, Yu Zhigao took advantage of being familiar with the sea current, went around to the open sea to catch up, and fired artillery to warn the other party to stop the ship, so the sound of the cannon attracted Qin Lin's attention, and what happened just now happened.

Jin Yingji frowned, "In this way, that Xue Zhixian handled this case, but it was also decent, if this group of Franco-robot people had no ghosts in their hearts, why should they risk escaping?" Once they are wanted by the imperial court, they can't go to the ports of Hangzhou, Ningbo, Yuegang, and Macau, and they can only escape from pursuit if they run to Luzon, well, their course just now ......"

Their course was not to the south of Luzon, but to the east.

When Jin Yingji said this, she looked at Qin Lin.

"I think, this is fate, why don't you come early and late, I just arrived and had a corpse shredding case?" Qin Lin smiled self-deprecatingly, and instructed Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong: "You two, think of a way for me to go and see those corpses." ”

Yu and Shen escorted the Western ship ashore, handed over Luo Bu and Wa Wei and their party to the officials, and bought off the work with five taels of silver.

Qin Lin saw those corpses in the mortuary of the county government, it had been two days since they were fished out of the sea, the fishy smell filled the whole room, the white and greasy corpses were covered with a layer of slippery mucus, and the shape was relatively intact: a piece of **, a piece of upper abdomen, and the third piece was the belly, about the size of a palm, and the middle was just the navel.
