The crew of One Piece all want to blame me

"that..."

Seeing Seth's slightly pale expression, Allen was a little unable to explain that they were following a strange man around these days.

But if he didn't say anything, Seth might go out to find someone in the next second. After much deliberation, Allen finally revealed the whereabouts of Linda and Yaying.

After listening to Allen's introduction to the man's identity as a traveler and a lot of good words, Seth selectively crossed out all the modifiers about the man. Silently put down the dessert fork, stood up and walked out.

"Oh, wait a minute. That person named Hill is really not a bad person. They seem to be looking for something to poison Winnie, not something dangerous."

"Isn't looking for poison a dangerous thing? And why did that man come to this village at this critical moment? I don't believe it if there is no connection here."

Seth was absolutely heartbroken.

Didn't he just not see them for a few days, and they just ran out with a suspicious person? Shouldn't we use common sense to doubt it?

"You look like an old father."

Allen couldn't help laughing.

Afterwards, no matter how Seth flashed his eyes, Allen did not let him go out. After all, as a patient, you should stay at home and recuperate, right? Besides...

"Cecile said, add a little bitterness as soon as you step out."

"........."

Seeing Seth sitting on the sofa again and eating dessert, Allen couldn't help but sigh that Cecile was really amazing.

At the same time, in the village, Hill, Yaying, and Linda were sitting under a big tree, enjoying the cool air and exchanging information.

"Five nights ago, a certain uncle said that he saw a suspicious black figure when he got up at night. But because he was asleep at the time, I don't know if what he saw was accurate."

"The children said that they saw a person who was not from this village a few days ago, three days ago."

"I also found a strange glass bottle, discarded at the entrance to the forest behind the mountain."

After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and became convinced.

"It's indeed man-made! What kind of bastard can attack such a young child!"

"I'm curious as to why Winnie was targeted. After all, she's just a five-year-old girl, and she probably hasn't done anything harmful."

"If it wasn't Winnie, would it be the village chief?"

Hill related the previous commission and wondered if another mercenary had accepted the commission from King Bibiru V.

Because the information Yaying obtained was conclusive evidence. Someone had been plotting this assassination five days ago, so this matter should not be as simple as it seems.

In order to protect the power and wealth of the mercenaries, the mercenary union rarely allows several mercenaries to accept a task at the same time. And this time he didn't hear any mercenary other than him accepting the commission, so it was natural that he was the only mercenary on this mission.

But in fact it doesn’t seem to be the case? What exactly is the mercenary union doing? Is it because Bibiru V has too much power that they cannot refuse, so they violate their principles?

"Hill, what do you think?"

At this time, Hill had taken off his original dark robe and was wearing a light brown travel suit.

Just as he introduced himself to others, he was now perfectly disguised as a passing traveler. After all, ordinary people have never come into contact with mercenaries, so he did this to avoid suspicion.

"I also think someone should be targeting the village chief."

"But who could this person be? I don't think it's someone from the village. The two candidates who are most likely to become the village chief in the future have alibis, and they support the village chief from the bottom of their hearts."

"Could it be a malicious intention to hurt someone?"

Three days have passed since Winnie was poisoned. All the clues were very vague, and they made no progress for a while. When it was dinner time, the village chief Pat invited everyone to come home for dinner. Winnie's physical condition was obviously much better today, so Pat couldn't help but cook a big meal to thank Cecile for saving her life.

Also invited was Hill, and Pat was very grateful to the young man for spying on the prisoner for his granddaughter. This shows how important Winnie is to Pat.

"Village Chief, we didn't find any useful clues. I deserve this meal."

"It's okay, Winnie is still alive, that's enough. I will be more careful in the future and will not let my granddaughter get hurt again. What I want to thank is your attitude. When no one wants to get involved, You and these two little girls are running around the village for Winnie...I..."

After saying that, Pat suddenly choked up as if he thought of something.

Seeing Pat suddenly burst into tears, the group panicked. Various words of comfort were spoken, and it was not easy for the village chief to calm down.

"I'm sorry, it's all because I'm a crybaby and a good dinner was ruined."

Pat wiped away his tears and smiled brightly. And in the atmosphere he specially created, the meal was quite good.

Because Cecile came to Mix Village under the guise of a doctor, many villagers respected her very much after seeing that she cured a poison that even the village doctor was helpless to do.

By the way, Seth and others who were traveling with her also received respectful looks from the village, and the villagers gave them the house next door to the village chief without them having to tell them.

But Hill was different. The unknown traveler's identity was enough to deter the villagers from letting him stay overnight, so Pat had no choice but to stay at his home.

Therefore, after dinner, Seth and his party returned to the house next to the village chief to rest, while Hill stayed at the village chief's house.

Pat didn't expect at the time that this act of kindness would actually save his and Winnie's lives.

On a dark night when the moon was engulfed by dark clouds, the entire village fell into sleep.

A dark figure wearing a black robe quietly sneaked into Pat's house and walked in a familiar way to the master bedroom where Pat and Winnie slept.

They used to sleep separately, but since Winnie was poisoned, Pat didn't dare to let the child sleep alone, so he brought him over to sleep in the master bedroom together.

The dark figure gently opened the door, took out a palm-sized iron ball, turned on the switch, squatted down and pushed the iron ball gently, and the white-smoking ball rolled into the master bedroom. The shadow gently closed the door and waited quietly for the medicine to take effect.

Last time he accepted the commission from Bibiru V to poison Winnie. According to his plan, Winnie gradually died in front of Pat's eyes.

This would not only make Pat miserable, but also allow the child to die without any pain. However, despite all calculations, I never expected that anyone would be able to detoxify him!

This time, the furious city lord didn't want to show mercy at all and ordered him to directly remove the heads of his grandfather and grandson and bring them back to him.

At this point, the mercenary didn't know whether to complain about Cecile for curing the little girl, or whether to complain about the city lord being so cold as to kill an innocent child.

However, as a mercenary, he only has Bailey in his eyes. In this kind of work, he only tries to prevent the assassination target from feeling pain. It was impossible not to kill him. After all, he still had to take Bailey to eat and drink delicious food.
