Chapter 133 Pulling and Gaming

The atmosphere in the general's office was suppressed to the extreme.

The temperature in the air seemed to drop sharply, and even the green plants in the corners held their breath.

The eyes behind Sengoku's black-rimmed glasses shone with unprecedented sharpness, and he stared at the young navy in front of him like a hawk. A majestic aura spread out from his body, approaching Darren.

Darren's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm and practiced.

Found out! ?

No, this is not possible.

He believes in his own means and abilities.

When the Tianlong people were killed in Beihai, I handled it cleanly without leaving any traces.

Subjectively speaking, no matter how you look at it, you have no motive to take action against the Celestial Dragons, after all, your personality is there;

Objectively speaking, the evidence of his alibi is completely sufficient, not to mention that all traces have been completely destroyed, and it is impossible for the navy or even the world government to find anything.

If there must be a reason to be suspicious, it would be that his strength and Devil Fruit abilities fit very well with the profile of the Celestial Dragon killer.

But that's all.

So the Warring States Period is...

Fraudulent me?

Countless thoughts flashed through Darren's mind in an instant, and a hint of "astonishment" appeared on his face, and he blinked blankly:

"Lord Shields Saint?"

"General of the Warring States Period, I don't understand what you mean."

"Isn't the death of Lord Shields Saint an accident? This is the result of your personal investigation."

"'The distinguished world noble Lord Shields Saint was unfortunately attacked by a large sea king-like creature during his cruise in the North Sea. The World Government official ship was destroyed in an instant. Lord Shields Saint and many CP department guards on the ship Unfortunately, he died, and the Navy Headquarters and the World Government express their deep and heavy condolences'... This is also the conclusion of the final closing report."

"As for your questioning that I killed Lord Shields Saint..."

Darren quickly waved his hands and said with a panic expression:

"How could I have the courage to take action against the Celestial Dragons?"

"After all, I am a law-abiding navy!"

The corners of Zhan Guo's mouth twitched and he almost lost his composure.

Yes, yes, you are the most "law-abiding" in the navy.

Seeing Darren's natural performance, Zeng Guo was also a little helpless.

Regarding the attack on Shields Saint, he really couldn't find any clues at first, and he even thought it was an accident of a Neptune-type attack.

After all, when the case was investigated in Beihai, Warring States did not find any suspects.

——Until the battle against "World Destroyer" Bundy Waldo.

In that battle, Darren demonstrated far greater combat power than he expected, superb military command capabilities, and the strength of the North Sea Fleet he led.

The most important thing is that Darren, the North Sea Admiral, has shown the ability to "fly"!

It was from that day that Warring States gradually realized something.

Although there was only a slight suspicion, for the sake of safety, Warring States still secretly launched another investigation into the attack on the Beihai Tianlong people.

But the strange thing is that as the investigation deepens, Warring States actually fails to find that Darren has the slightest suspicion!

But precisely because of this, Warring States became more and more suspicious that the person who did it was Darren!

He had no proof, but he trusted his instincts.

"Darren, I won't beat around the bush with you..."

He cleared his throat and stared at Darren sternly:

"We all know the case analysis of the Tianlong attack."

"Regardless of the possibility of accidents, assuming that there is indeed such a murderer, the attacker must meet the following three conditions."

"First, the attackers have great strength and can sink the official ship before the CP members can react."

"Second, the attacker is most likely to have had a past with Hildes Saint;"

"Third, the attacker is likely to have the ability to fly."

"People who met these conditions and had interactions with Hildes Saint were in the North Sea at that time..."

Sengoku breathed out slowly.

"Only you, Admiral North Sea...Rogers Darren."

The moment the words came out of his mouth, Zeng Guo stared at Darren intently, trying to detect any change in expression on the latter's face.

But he failed.

"General of the Warring States Period, there are some things you should not say carelessly."

Darren suddenly smiled and said helplessly:

"According to your judgment, I am not the only one who is suspected."

"Who else could it be?"

"Porusalino."

Warring States: "..."

Facing the helpless Darren, he felt his heart throbbing with pain.

Darren glanced at Warring States, confirming his idea that he had no evidence, and smiled:

"Since the Warring States General wants to bring up old matters again, I can also confess something to you."

"What's going on?" Warring States frowned.

Darren sighed and said slowly:

"When the members of CP0 arrived in Beihai and announced that I would take over the investigation of the attack on Hildes Saint, do you still remember it?"

Warring States nodded,

"I naturally remember that the Five Old Stars take into account that as a naval admiral, I am busy with military affairs, and the task of hunting down the "World Destroyer" Bundy Waldo is urgent... so I will transfer the investigation to your hands..."

"——But is this really the truth?"

Darren interrupted Seng Guo's words and said with a half-smile:

"General of the Warring States Period, with your ingenuity, do you really think that Lord Wulaoxing, who lives above the clouds, will care about whether your military affairs are busy or not?"

"Or do they simply think that...you are not suitable to investigate the attack on the Tianlong people?"

"How could..."

Zeng Guo subconsciously opened his mouth to retort, but was stunned as soon as the words came out.

Darren's suggestive tone suddenly reminded him of something, and his expression changed slightly.

indeed.

He, a high-ranking naval admiral, was of no importance in the eyes of the Five Old Stars.

Normally, once the Celestial Dragons are attacked, the admiral must put aside all the work he is doing and prioritize protecting and handling matters related to the Celestial Dragons.

But before the investigation was over, Wulaoxing sent Commissioner CP0 over and handed over the investigation work to Darren.

What does this mean! ?

At that time, Warring States was so focused on defeating Bundy Waldo that he didn't pay attention to this issue at all.

I just thought that I had saved myself a lot of trouble, and I was still secretly happy.

"Could it be..."

Warring States eyes flickered for a moment, and his face gradually became ugly.

"Darren, what do you mean...doesn't the world government trust me?"
