Chapter 134 The suspect is myself?

The initiative is back in your own hands...

Darren took in the changes in Seng Guo's expression and felt relieved.

When being questioned like this, if Seng Guo just answers whatever he asks, he will become passive and it will be easy for him to reveal some flaws.

Darren doesn't like to be led by others.

Only by diverting Warring States' attention can he get out of trouble.

Regarding the attack on the Celestial Dragons, Darren actually did not expect that he could hide it from everyone from the beginning.

Especially after he exposed his Devil Fruit ability, he had already expected that there would be a conversation like today, it was just a matter of time.

What Darren didn't expect was that this conversation would come so suddenly.

Now it seems that Sengoku is worthy of being a "smart general" in the navy.

He first asked Zefa to give him a false signal to report the mission, so that he could relax his vigilance without any preparation, and then caught himself off guard.

What I have to admit is that when Zeng Guo opened his mouth just now, Darren was a little caught off guard, but it didn't show on his face.

If his psychological quality were not strong enough, he might have been exposed by someone else.

However, it can also be seen from the nature of this conversation that Warring States has absolutely no evidence, and he has no intention of pursuing it. He just wants to simply confirm and beat himself up.

Otherwise, I would probably be surrounded by now.

Thinking like this, Darren's thinking became clearer and clearer.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Sengoku General, why do you think that the World Government trusts you?"

Warring States was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously retorted:

"How could they not trust me! As a naval admiral, I execute the orders issued by the World Government perfectly..."

"——Do you think a superior master would really 'trust' his watchdog from the bottom of his heart?"

Darren interrupted Seng Guo coldly.

He wants to bet now...bet that the relationship between the Navy and the World Government is by no means so indestructible.

Treat smart people in the same way as smart people.

Smart people like Warring States are often suspicious by nature.

And when doubt arises, trust is torn apart.

Even if there is just a slight crack, it is enough for Darren.

Hearing these words, Warring States opened his mouth.

Before he could hold back anything, Darren sneered:

"General of the Warring States Period, let me tell you the truth."

"The order conveyed to me by the World Government that day was actually not to continue a thorough investigation into the attack on the Celestial Dragons."

"But the Five Old Stars have begun to suspect...the attacker who killed the Draconian Shields Saint was a member of the navy!"

Warring States' expression changed slightly:

"Wu Laoxing doubts you?"

Darren didn't speak, just looked at Seng Guo with a smile.

"What are you looking at me for? What I am suspecting now is you -"

Warring States suddenly froze.

In an instant, countless thoughts popped up in his mind.

If the Five Old Stars suspected that Darren was responsible, they would not let Darren secretly investigate members of the navy at all!

They asked Darren, the North Sea Admiral, to investigate. First of all, it showed that Wulaoxing believed that the latter had absolutely no suspicion of taking action against Hildes Saint.

But if they didn't suspect Darren, who did they suspect! ?

He seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Sengoku's mind once again recalled the "inference" he had just made about the Tianlong attackers.

Strong strength + interaction with the Celestial Dragons + possible flight ability + being in the North Sea when the incident occurred...

Isn't this the warship he leads? ?

Definitely fits the description in terms of strength;

As a naval admiral, he is very familiar with the sailing routes of the World Government official ships;

The ability to fly is not actually necessary, having a warship is enough;

At that time, he was indeed on a mission to defeat Bundy Waldo in the North Sea...

After a series of thoughts, Warring States was suddenly confused.

After analyzing the feelings like this...the biggest suspect who killed the Tianlong people turned out to be myself! ?

The more Sengoku thought about it, the more something felt wrong.

I actually meet all the above conditions!

Even in terms of "knowing the route information of the official ship of the World Government", I am more consistent than Darren!

After all, normally speaking, with Darren's status as the mere admiral of Beihai at the time, it was absolutely impossible to know the specific route of the Heavenly Dragon Shields Saint's return to the Holy Land!

This was also the biggest reason why Sengoku wanted to test and could not directly determine that Darren was the attacker.

In the North Sea at that time, the only one who knew the specific route of the World Government official ship's return...he was the only one in the Navy Headquarters! !

No wonder the world government transferred me away from the investigation of this case...

No wonder those CP0s looked at me in a way that seemed a little wrong...

etc!

Warring States suddenly remembered the meaningful smiles they gave him when he went to the Holy Land to report the mission to the Five Old Stars a few days ago.

what does that mean?

Are they warning themselves? ?

Still doubting something! ?

At this moment, Warring States' brain was running crazily at the highest speed in his life, and he began to look back, think, and delve into the details of every meeting and conversation with the Five Old Stars in the past.

…

'The heat is almost done...'

Darren saw the changes in Seng Guo's confused, dazed, thinking, entangled, and uneasy expression, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

In a game with a suspicious and intelligent person like Seng Guo, you must not use too many sweet words, as that will only make him more suspicious of yourself.

The key is to give some key information and then let him think and figure it out on his own!

the most important point is,

The information Darren gave is factual!

The World Government did issue an order for him to secretly investigate members of the Navy.

Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for Warring States to confront Wulaoxing face to face: "Are you doubting the navy, no, doubting me?"

'Looking back, I really want to thank the 'wise' Saint Damocles...'

Darren smiled secretly in his heart and sighed helplessly:

"General of the Warring States Period, do you now understand how difficult my situation was at that time?"

"On one side is the pressure exerted on me by the highest level of the World Government, and on the other side is my most trusted and dearest colleague, comrade-in-arms...well, and my superiors."

The corners of Sengoku's mouth twitched.

What do you mean by "superior"?

"That...Darren..."

He hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked:

"You didn't say anything, did you?"

Although Warring States knew that the death of Tianlong Ren had absolutely nothing to do with him.

But for a person in power like Wulaoxing, does this matter?

Even whether the Tianlong people died or not, it actually didn't matter to them.

The key is...

The world government is suspicious of itself!

This will most likely affect your future political future!
