Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 342 The Maid
Pirate Ship.

In the dark and damp cabin.

The mouse squeaked through somewhere on the ground, and what Xu Zun heard was the sobbing of a woman.

When Xu Zun came to the depths of the cabin and saw the scene inside the iron cage, he immediately felt heavy.

But I saw that all the people imprisoned in the iron cage were young women, and there were even girls around ten years old.

The women were disheveled, disheveled, and covered with welts, which was shocking.

One can imagine what happened to these women on the pirate ship.

Scanning among them, Xu Zun saw that most of the women were from various tribes in the East China Sea, and there were also people from the Central Plains, as well as dark-skinned Nanyang women.

I even saw a few tall European and American women with white skin.

This……

Xu Zun frowned at first, but after thinking for a while, he realized that these pirates robbed ships going to and from the East China Sea. They must have robbed many foreign ocean-going fleets, right?

"My lord, my lord..." At this time, Huo Anu hurried over and whispered in Xu Zun's ear, "There are two Daxuan women inside, claiming that they are the prince's maids!"

"Ah?" Xu Zun was shocked, and hurriedly followed Huo Anu to the inner cage.

But seeing that the two women had been helped out of the cage by the guards, Shangguan Min and Li Xing quickly took off their clothes and put them on the two women.

These are two extremely young women with thin bodies.

Even though they were brutally ravaged, it was still possible to tell from their looks and hairstyles that they were indeed Daxuan women.

"Woooo..." Seeing Xu Zun in the official uniform, the two women burst into tears, "My lord... help us, woooo..."

"You..." Xu Zun wanted to ask in detail, but there were so many people present that it was difficult to speak.

So, Xu Zun gave Huo Anu a wink.

Huo Anu instantly understood what Xu Zun meant, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, "Don't worry! You are already saved, come, follow me!"

The two women wanted to reveal their identities again, but Huo Anu stopped them and motioned them not to talk nonsense, and then brought them back to the Daxuan battleship.

Next, Xu Zun went to another pirate ship and saw many items from the Daxuan Navy.

For example, gold, silver and jewelry, as well as armor and weapons and equipment, etc...

Seeing these situations, a thought formed in the minds of Xu Zun and everyone else, that is, these pirates had contact with the prince's mission, and even fought!

It is very likely that these things were robbed by pirates.

But... how could the pirates beat the Daxuan battleship?
Besides, wasn't the prince's mission attacked by a sea monster?

Why did the people and things of the prince's mission appear on the pirate ship?
Things became more and more strange, and Xu Zun wanted to know the truth more urgently.

Therefore, instead of checking other pirate ships, he returned directly to the battleship and interrogated the pirate leader for the second time.

The internal guards are all experts in interrogation. During Xu Zun's inspection, Ah Xiuzai had already passed the harsh interrogation that he could not afford to die, and got the pirate leader to make a confession.

At this moment, the pirate leader was hung upside down in a certain cabin, with bloodstains dripping on the ground, and various horrific instruments of torture were placed beside him.

"...I..." The head of the pirate leader was turned down, his right ear had been cut off, and the blood kept dripping, "We have received news that we are going to ransack a Daxuan battleship, saying that there are countless spoils on board... …So, we just…”

"Wait a minute," Xu Zun asked, waving his hands, "Who are you?"

"We...we..." the pirate leader replied, "We are the pirates of the Izumo country. Because the Izumo country is at war, we came to the west. We... eh? Hey eh..."

Before the pirate leader finished speaking, he saw Xu Zun waving at Ashio.

A Xiuzai directly took the knife and cut the other ear of the pirate.

"No," Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "Don't cut off his ears anymore, he can't hear clearly now! Let's cut off his eyes, it's useless to see what you can't see!"

"Yes!" Ashio turned the knife close to the pirate leader's eyes.

"Hei... Hei Boyu..." the pirate leader shouted in horror, "We are all Hei Boyu's subordinates, and Hei Boyu gave us our news, no, no..."

Seeing the pirate leader say Hei Boyu's name, Xu Zun signaled Ashio to stop.

"Hei Boyu..." Xu Zun asked with a frown, "Why did he ask you to attack the Daxuan battleship? Have you ever been able to fight it? Where did you attack it? Did you succeed?"

"At Whale Bend," the pirate leader said hastily, "there are not many defenders on that battleship. We took a few shots against us, and we took it down!"

"Then... what about the people on the boat?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly.

"Well... this... this..."

Seeing the pirate leader hesitate, Xu Zun already knew the answer.

However, the appearance still has to be displayed.

A Xiuzai cut the pirate leader's face with a knife, only a few centimeters away from his eyes.

"Ah... I said, I said..." the pirate leader shouted loudly, "We silenced everyone, robbed the ship of the booty, and sank the ship in Whale Bay!"

Hearing this, the scene was suddenly quiet.

Xu Zun and the others felt more and more that something was wrong, and it didn't match Shen Xingran's narration at all.

"Whale Bay is just outside the Banshee Kingdom," Xiao Zhennan explained in a low voice in Xu Zun's ear, "it's very close to the sea area where the prince was attacked."

Oh……

Xu Zun suddenly understood something, Shen Xingran said that one of the escort warships of the prince's mission was not attacked by the sea monster.

So was it the frigate that the pirates attacked?
broken……

Xu Zun's mood suddenly became heavy. If the escort warship had not been sunk by the sea monster, then maybe they had saved the prince.

But if the crown prince is on board, this...

"Let me ask you," Xu Zun asked, "who are the people on the battleship?"

"Ah?" The pirate was surprised, and hurriedly said, "They are all soldiers dressed similarly to yours!"

"how many?"

"It's only about twenty or so people!"

twenty?

Xu Zun guessed, was the frigate also damaged like the Tianfu giant ship?
"What..." Xu Zun asked again, "When?"

"One day ago, oh..." replied the pirate leader, "just yesterday!"

what! ?

Xu Zun suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't figure it out, why couldn't the time be right?

"My lord, my lord..." At this time, Huo Anu came hurriedly from behind, pulled Xu Zun aside and reported in a low voice, "Those two women have confirmed that they are indeed the prince's maid."

"Oh?" Xu Zun asked, "What did they say?"

"They said," Huo Anu said, "when the prince's mission was attacked by sea monsters, they followed the prince to the frigate, and after the attack, they fell into the water.

"Then, relying on a boat plank, they drifted on the sea for a day and a night, were rescued by the local aborigines, and placed on an unknown island in the banshee country.

"Three days ago, the pirates robbed that island and took all the women on the island, including the two of them, onto the boat..."

"Oh..." Xu Zun nodded slightly, and then straightened out the timeline of the whole incident...
