Though Paimon bringing Qian Cangyi along to arrest people might make it seem as though Cangyi was a snitch, with the Captain's words echoing in the dining hall, the crew couldn't possibly harbor any animosity against Cangyi. It was a clear dominance of status and position. If they were ever to tamper with Qian Cangyi behind the scenes, they'd have to ensure he never found out. Otherwise, they would definitely be the ones to pay the price.

"Earlier, Father Marshal told me someone had thrown something overboard, and what's more critical is that this person chose to run away afterwards. Check if the cargo count has decreased or if there are signs of opened boxes," Paimon said, skipping reprimands and directly stating his demands.
Upon hearing Paimon omit the part about punishment, the sailors were somewhat relieved and hurriedly started checking the cargo.
