Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 451 Pirates
Li Canghai folded his hands in front of his chest, watching the crowd busy burying Princess Dongying's body, he pondered for a moment, then greeted Wanyu, who hurriedly walked over.

"My lord, what are your orders?" Wanyu blinked her big smart eyes, and her red face was covered with crystal beads of sweat due to her busy work, she looked very cute and cute.

Li Canghai asked her to listen to him, and then whispered in her ear.

Wanyu nodded as she listened, and after hearing what Li Canghai said, Wanyu smiled at him, then walked away with a bounce.

In total, there are no more than twelve people in this shrine, but there are only five guards for those with martial arts skills.

But Dongpu has a strict hierarchy, and this servant has more weight than ordinary guards. This is also the reason why Conan asked the fat and thin guards and cook to participate when he wanted to discuss things.

Here, in addition to Conan, the two guards who are the princess' servants and the cook who is often praised by the princess have also become the mainstay.

Now, among the five guards, three were going to arrest Zhang Da, and the remaining two were helping Conan to bury Princess Dongying, so Li Canghai had nothing to do.

Li Canghai stood in front of the shrine, looked into the distance, and suddenly wanted to see those so-called pirates.

According to Conan, the pirates seem to have come prepared.But the strange thing is that they haven't sent any attacks in the past two days. They camped on the beach, drinking and eating meat every day, so happy.

After thinking about it, Li Canghai decided to go and find out.

There was already no food left in the shrine. Since he came here yesterday until now, he only ate a few pieces of wild vegetable pancakes, and he was already hungry.

"If you can get some food from the pirates, it would be nice to have a tooth-making festival." Li Canghai thought to himself, and left the shrine alone.

Wanting to get food from the vicious pirates is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth, and you may lose your own life in it.

Li Canghai is a self-aware person, he thinks that he will not be the opponent of the pirates, but he is not helpless.

Not far from the beach, Li Canghai found some dead bodies.

Judging from the corpses, these people are pirates.

They are wearing costumes similar to those of Japan, but they have the feeling of Tang Dynasty, which looks a bit nondescript.

Li Canghai carefully inspected the corpses. It seemed that these corpses were randomly discarded here, but the strange thing was that there were no injuries on them, which made him feel a little weird.

However, Li Canghai didn't pay too much attention to it. He took off a suit of clothes from the corpse and put them on himself.

Is there any better way in this world than to disguise yourself and blend in with the other party?
As long as you are careful, there will be no accidents.

Li Canghai once heard He Xiao talk about the way of disguise. Although he can't dress up perfectly, he can still change his appearance.

After a while, Li Canghai turned into an ugly looking pirate with a blind right eye.

After changing his appearance, Li Canghai recognized the direction and saw several boats parked outside Li Xu, so he walked over.

Those boats ran aground on the beach, but strangely there was no one around.

Li Canghai touched his nose, carefully looking for traces near the beach.

Soon, he found traces of bonfires burning on the beach.

In addition, there are messy footprints on the beach. It can be seen from the footprints that they seem to have encountered something.

Li Canghai followed the footprints on the beach and searched all the way.

The footprints extend from the beach to the island. After thinking about it, Li Canghai walked along the footprints.

This place is located in the south of Penglai Island. Unlike the lush vegetation near the shrine, it looks a bit desolate.

On the bare mountains, some vegetation grows, and all you can see are rocks that have been blown by wind and rain.

Walking along a mountain road, about half an hour later, Li Canghai came to an open area.

Not far from the open land, there is a camp with a few tents in the camp and wooden fences around it.

Several pirates with weapons patrolled back and forth among the wooden fences, looking around vigilantly.

After thinking for a while, Li Canghai limped over.

Before arriving at the camp, Li Canghai discovered that the camp was newly built, and the wood used for the wooden fence still had traces of chopping.

"Stop! What are you working on?" The pirate patrolling the camp immediately shouted when he saw someone coming.

Li Canghai's heart moved. The other party spoke the language of Tang Dynasty. Although it was a little blunt, he could still understand it.

Li Canghai rolled his eyes, quickly raised his hand, and said in a blunt tone, "It's me! Don't you know me? I'm Taro Ohara!"

Li Canghai remembered that when he took the clothes off the corpse, he found a wooden sign with Ohara Taro written on it, so he simply took it and pretended it.

The man looked Li Canghai up and down, seeing that his clothes were similar to his own, he immediately relaxed his vigilance.

He opened the fence and let Li Canghai in. The man immediately walked over, patted Li Canghai on the shoulder, and said, "So it's Ohara-kun from the second team of Ashgaru, as long as he comes back alive, come in quickly."

Seeing that the pirate was so nervous, Li Canghai was a little puzzled.

"Brother, what's going on? Why did you leave the beach and camp here? I almost lost track of you!" Li Canghai asked in surprise.

The man curled his lips, scolded Baga, and said: "There are ghosts on this island. If you don't pay attention, many people will go crazy and kill anyone they see. We had to abandon the ship and come here to take refuge."

Li Canghai pretended to be horrified, and hurriedly asked: "Then how many people do we have now?"

"There are only three." The man said with a sigh.

"What about the others?" Li Canghai asked in surprise.

"Other people are dead, crazy, and now there are more than a dozen crazy people wandering outside. Didn't you meet them all the way here?" the man asked.

Li Canghai shook his head blankly.

The man said: "You are lucky, those crazy people will kill anyone they see, and their power is boundless. If they are caught by them, they must be chopped into meat!"

Li Canghai opened his mouth and widened his eyes, trying to express surprise, and said, "It's so terrifying?"

"That's not it! Oh, you just came back, and you are injured. It so happens that there is a doctor in this camp. Let him treat you quickly and recover your strength quickly. If those lunatics come to attack, you can still help. Busy," said the man.

Li Canghai nodded to him, and then limped towards the inside, but he was a little curious in his heart, these pirates went to sea, did they bring the doctor with them?

But he didn't realize that the other pirate who was with that pirate was staring closely at his pretending to be limping right leg.

There was a fire in the middle of the camp. Although the flames had long since disappeared, there were still bursts of smoke.

There were several tents on both sides of the fire, and from one of the tents, bursts of medicinal fragrance could be heard from time to time.

Li Canghai came outside the tent and was about to go in when he heard voices coming from inside.
