Chapter 366

Lorraine's house arrest has lasted about half an hour.

In the cabin of the earlier inquiry, he closed his eyes for the third time and re examined the rationality of what he had said.

Time harmony, position harmony, motivation harmony, development harmony

And the second lieutenant Lopez played by Lorraine this time is not fabricated. Like Ruhr, they are real people, and there is no falsification of identity information.

The real Lopez is the fourth son of a poor viscount in Andalusia, a Castilian, and the champion of the sailing and cable specialty of Barcelona maritime school. He has all kinds of talents and talents. Only because of his lack of family background, he still remains in the rank of second lieutenant three years after graduation.

He and Lorraine have very similar black curly hair, but he is far less tall than Lorraine, and his eyes are blue.

However, this small difference is not a risk at all.

Malatidu could not remember the appearance of a small lieutenant. If he did, an excellent Lieutenant would not remain a lieutenant for three years.

The real risk of doing so lies in whether there are the 19 classmates mentioned by Lopez and Lorraine on the Shengshi. Any of them can easily distinguish the difference between Lorraine and Lopez. His disguise will be easily torn, such as house arrest. It is likely that he is being tried in absentia in a cabin not far away.

But the current situation is not very similar.

The Shengshi didn't turn a blind eye to him in these thirty minutes. A sergeant came to Lorraine ten minutes ago and brought him hot water, broth, bread and a small pot of rum. By the way, he also conveyed the latest news on the deck to Lorraine.

The boarding operation of Shengshi and San Carlos has ended. A large number of sailors on board rushed to the deck of San Carlos, gathered the sailors scattered on the deck like heroes, and distributed hot water, bread and fragrant broth like Lorraine.

The news seems to prove that Lorraine has safely passed the investigation of his identity. He may not be "under house arrest" here as he thought, but "hung" here.

But according to the story made up by Lorraine, San Carlos should be struggling to support under the cooperation of pirates and traitors, and the Shengshi with powerful firepower and noble people can easily reverse this crisis.

They shouldn't have time to linger on the lake.

Which link went wrong?

Lorraine frowned and thought hard.

Dressed as Spanish sailors, Nelson and Spencer were carefully selected from the British landing forces, able to use Spanish fluently and without obvious foreign accent.

Most of them are eager to try this task, and it seems that they are arranged in a scattered way. In fact, one officer in charge of the situation is placed in every four or five people. In any case, they should not easily show their feet.

The damage to the rudder is also real.

In order to deceive the Shengshi and the dignitaries on board, Lorraine personally designed the injury of the rudder.

The damaged position is the rudder stock connecting the hand wheel and the rudder. Saw half of it, and then unscrew the other half with brute force.

Such injuries are extremely obvious, but there is no clue from the surface of the ship. The bulkhead of the stern cabin must be opened to see the truth inside the hull.

No one can guard against such deliberate sabotage. Unknowingly, the San Carlos left the port, broke the rudder stock during the voyage, and finally had to rise to the battle. This story should make sense anyway.

And the battle last night

Thinking of this, Lorraine finally caught the mistake.

If it's a trap, three large and medium-sized slup ships are full of enough to hide 150 or 60 pirates. The San Carlos has only 120 people. With commanders like Mara, they can't stop such an attack!

I accidentally overestimated my strength

Lorraine quickly transposed himself into the position of malatidu and tried to analyze what kind of state of mind he would have when he heard such a war report that was absolutely impossible.

1、 Lopez is loyal and exaggerates his opponent in order to take credit;

2、 Lopez is an infidelity. The San Carlos has been occupied. At present, the assassins on board, including Lopez, are all aimed at two noble people;

3、 Lopez was strictly neutral. The battle was real, but it didn't end with the victory of the San Carlos, but Lopez launched a mutiny and handed over Mara, which brought him and the sailors on board

"Draw on the snake and add to the problem... It seems that it's time to start plan B..."

……

After more than an hour, someone finally took Lorraine out of the cabin under house arrest for a long time, crossed the board and moved towards the San Carlos.

Lorraine saw the disguised sailors.

As he imagined, the sailors did not show any foot. They were well taken care of.

But the people in charge of taking care of them did not leave their weapons with them, and they were artificially separated. From the San Carlos to the Shengshi, from the deck to the cabin, they were not given the opportunity to gather at all.

This is already a very obvious alert

Depressed Lorraine followed the way to the stern cabin of the San Carlos, and finally met maratidu and governor Hawthorne for the second time in the captain's room.

With an iron face, malatidu pointed to the stool in front of him and said to Lorraine, "Lieutenant Lopez, sit down."

"Yes, sir!" Lorraine still maintained the appearance of an iron soldier, straightened his legs and sat down on his knees.

"Don't be nervous, lieutenant, but San Carlos is in danger. We still have a few questions to understand from you..." Hawthorne, who is always smiling, rounded up the scene. He turned over the diary of major Mara in his hand. "You said you experienced a war last night?"

"Yes, we were joined by three slup ships full of pirates at night and fought all night."

"How many pirates?"

"I don't know," Lorraine replied neatly. "In the night, we can't estimate the number of enemies well. We just remember that they keep killing."

"How many people are there on the San Carlos? As the second officer, do you always know?"

"There are 120 sailors, 14 non commissioned officers at all levels, 6 lieutenants and 1 captain, a total of 141."

Malatidu glared at Lorraine fiercely: "141 people... How many people are left on the ship now? Where are the disappeared people?"

Lorraine was ready for this. He cleared his throat and replied in a loud voice: "now there are 41 sailors, 3 sergeants, 1 lieutenant and 1 school officer on board, a total of 46 people. The rest, whether dead or alive, have been pushed into the lake at the captain's request."

"Really pushed into the lake?"

"The officer dare not deceive the officer!" Lorraine found maratidu's eyes with his own eyes, with indignation, sadness, strong self disgust, numbness and indifference. "The rainy season is coming. The weather on Lake Nicaragua is hot, and we hurt the rudder. We don't know when we can get out of the current Island dilemma."

"The captain was worried that the seriously wounded and dead would spread the plague, so he asked us to clean up the ship before it decayed. The soldiers hated such labor. We murdered no less than ten people, each of whom was a partner who fought with us last night!"

Malatidu was completely deterred by Lorraine. When he didn't know how to end, Hawthorne grabbed the match point again.

"It's strange, lieutenant. You blame all the meanness on your captain, but after such a long time, we searched the whole ship, but we didn't see the captain himself."

He looked at Lorraine with a sneer: "I always adhere to fairness and justice in governing Nicaragua, and treat the Spaniards and Miskitos who live together on the land as fairly as possible. Under my authority, anyone can make charges and safeguard their reputation. I have only one request. Charges need to be confronted in court. This is the basic of the basic. Do you have any?"

"You must tell us whether major Mara is alive or dead, injured or intact, where he is now, whether he has been coerced or detained?"

"To be frank, while you were enjoying wine and broth on the Shengshi, the governor and I had controlled all your men. Please hand over major Mara immediately, which may earn you the mercy of the jury..."
