Chapter 1228 Evidence
Seeing that the entire Fifth Fleet was destroyed, it was impossible for Elder Zuma not to feel distressed. However, considering the future development plans of the Kingdom and the Illuminati in Qingfeng Plain, as well as the strength of the young president of the Tower of Twilight, he had to blame everything solely on the other party's impulse, which was a bit trivial. Got it.
However, Lin Li didn't buy it at all. As soon as Elder Zuma finished speaking, he smiled calmly and said: "Elder Zuma, I know exactly who is on board my Star. Why did you sneak up on it? Can anyone secretly board the alchemy battleship?"
"Elder Zuma, you heard it, and he also said that it is impossible for the wanted criminals to sneak onto the ship by themselves, so they must be harboring them intentionally!" High Priest Puer immediately picked up what Lin Li was saying. He was also very dissatisfied with Elder Zuma's conciliatory approach. It was his own business, so why should he find excuses for the other party?
"It seems that there is something wrong with the understanding of High Priest Poole, so I might as well say it more clearly. My Star has never had the wanted criminals you want. There is no one hiding in it, and it is definitely not a person who secretly boarded it." Although Lin Li I don't care whether there is a war with Jindu Kingdom, but I am definitely not willing to take such a scapegoat casually.
Moreover, although Elder Zuma seems to be looking for a step, in fact there is a set inside. If Lin Li admitted that the wanted criminals might have secretly boarded the ship, then the matter of harboring the wanted criminals would be gone, but what about the subsequent destruction of the Fifth Fleet. After all, if you put it this way, the Jindu Kingdom's behavior of boarding the ship to arrest the wanted criminals was a reasonable behavior, but Lin Li's behavior was an overreaction.
"Hmph, the man was caught from your ship. It's useless even if you deny it." Delano looked at him. There are two powerful men in the holy realm, his father and Elder Zuma. Immediately I felt confident.
"Well, President Ferre, I don't know about this. Do you have any explanation?" Elder Zuma looked embarrassed, which means that I found a step for you, but you refused to come down the step. Now you've really made things difficult for me.
"Haha, what's the explanation for this? I have a hundred ways to put a random stranger on your boat. Could Elder Zuma really not think of such a thing?" Lin Li looked at it with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes. Elder Zuma said.
This really put Elder Zuma in a difficult position. His original plan was to get the Tower of Twilight to admit that the wanted criminals sneaked onto the Star, so that the Jindu Kingdom's behavior of seizing the ship and detaining people would be easier to explain. Then. I can talk to the Twilight Tower about the huge losses they caused to the Fifth Fleet, although I won't go so far as to ask the other party to compensate a fleet. But it can add a lot of leverage to future negotiations.
But Elder Zuma didn't expect it. The other party's attitude was so tough. Not only did they not admit that they were harboring wanted criminals. If they don't even admit that the wanted criminal sneaked onto the ship by himself, then the matter will not end well. If it turns out that the other party is lying, how should the matter be handled? Is the Jindu Kingdom really going to war with the Tower of Twilight, or is it that they are being slapped in the face but still have to endure it? And if it turns out that Delano on his side is cheating, how will all the losses be compensated, and future negotiations will definitely be at a disadvantage from the start.
"You are talking nonsense. You are insulting my character. The wanted criminal was found on your ship. This is an undeniable fact. Many people here can prove it. But you, you said that the wanted criminal is not here Do you have anything on your ship that you can prove?" Seeing that Lin Li refused to admit it, Delano immediately became anxious and remembered the strategy he had discussed with his adjutant before, which was to present evidence.
In fact, according to Delano's previous assumptions, after he detained the Star and the sailors on the ship, the worst outcome would be to confront the other party in front of the king. Regarding this issue, he has already made arrangements. When the time comes, there will be evidence and witnesses.
What Delano didn't expect was that after receiving the news, the other party had no intention of being reasonable at all, and directly sent a monster to snatch the Star, and even crippled the Fifth Fleet. It was only then that things seemed to return to the expected trajectory, so he immediately couldn't wait to say the words he had prepared long ago.
"Oh? Delano, since the incident was caused by you, it's up to you to prove it first." Elder Zuma glanced at Delano. Based on his knowledge of Delano, he could actually imagine what the whole thing was going on. If there was no such thing as the Fifth Fleet being abolished, he might have reprimanded Delano for a few words, and then said something like ignorance and nonsense, and then took the matter over. But now, the Fifth Fleet has been completely defeated. Even if he knows that there is something fishy about this matter, he can only grit his teeth and go to the dark side.
Delano didn't know how much Elder Zuma hated him, but when he heard that he was asked to prove it first, he immediately became happy, thinking that this time he could bring out the evidence he had prepared earlier and smash the boy from the Tower of Twilight. fainted. So, he agreed, immediately led everyone to the dock, and then waved over a pale subordinate, saying: "Don't be afraid, the high priest and the elder Zuma will make the decision for us, you go now and arrest the participants. The arresters of the wanted criminals are here, and now we need them to testify.”
"Yes, sir, I will go immediately." The subordinate replied with a trembling voice, and then turned around to follow Delano's instructions to find the people who participated in the arrest.
Fortunately, not all of the people arranged by Delano were on the battleships of the fleet just now, otherwise it would be really difficult to find a complete witness this time. Soon, a dozen soldiers of the Fifth Fleet ran over shivering, obviously not recovered from the tragic battle just now. In fact, the leader was Draenor's adjutant Haggis.
"Okay, cheer up. You can answer whatever Elder Zuma asks. Tell me the truth. Do you hear me?" Delano was a little cautious, fearing that these people would be frightened and reveal it. I specifically warned you again.
"Yes, sir," a dozen or so people responded unevenly.
Elder Zuma looked at those people and couldn't help but frown slightly. After pondering for a moment. Then he asked: "Let me ask you, did you follow Delano to capture the wanted criminals on the Star?"
"Yes. Elder, in addition to a few of us, there are many brothers. However, some brothers died in the battle just now, and some were seriously injured and it was inconvenient to come." Haggis glanced at Delano. , and then answered Elder Zuma’s question on behalf of everyone, and after he answered, the people behind him also nodded.
"So, how did you get the news that the wanted criminal was on the Star?" Elder Zuma didn't say anything, but asked immediately.
"That's right, because when we were at sea, the people on the Star were very arrogant and prevented us from inspecting the ship, so Lord Delano felt that something was suspicious. So, after the Star entered the port. Lord Delano specially asked a few of us to keep an eye on the Star carefully, and report to him immediately if there was anything unusual. Later, one of our brothers saw a very familiar figure on the deck of the ship, which looked very much like the person on the wanted poster. He was a major criminal, so he reported it to Lord Delano." As Haggis said, he looked like he was thinking and recalling, giving people a very credible feeling.
"Sir Delano considered that the wanted criminal was too important to the kingdom, so he thought of negotiating with the people on the Star, hoping that they could hand him over. However, the people on the Star didn't care what we said. We insisted that there was no one we were looking for on the ship. Later, as a last resort, Lord Delano ordered that everyone on the ship be temporarily controlled, and also told us not to hurt anyone, and then he started to search with us. "
"So, where did you find the wanted criminal on the ship?" Elder Zuma glanced at Lin Li and others, then turned around and asked again.
"Yes, it's in a very secret room. If we hadn't searched carefully, we would have almost missed it." Haggis's answer caused everyone behind him to nod.
In a secret room, and almost letting the searchers miss it, this obviously implies that the people on the Star are hiding on purpose. Otherwise, how could a stranger find such a secret room on the ship.
"How about it? My son, I know very well that it is impossible for him to lie about this kind of thing." The high priest of Poole looked indescribably proud, then turned around and looked at Lin Li with a smile on his face, and said: "President Feyre, there are so many people who can prove it, what else do you have to say!"
"Is this the so-called evidence? Then we can also testify that the man named Delano is not actually your biological son." Klaus and others couldn't hold it in anymore after listening to the words of the so-called witnesses. , when I heard that the High Priest of Poole actually wanted to draw conclusions based on the testimony of these people, he suddenly shouted with dissatisfaction.
"You are seeking death!" High Priest Poole is a powerful man in the Holy Realm. His reputation in Jindu Kingdom can be compared with that of King Bradlow. When has he ever been insulted like this? His face turned cold and he wanted to kill this person. A few ants.
However, Lin Li was still here. How could he allow High Priest Poole to kill people in Qingfeng Plain? What's more, the words of Klaus and others really spoke to Lin Li's heart. Just look for a few people and talk nonsense, saying something with irrefutable evidence. There is no such truth in this world.
Seeing that High Priest Pu Pu wanted to take action, Lin Li also snorted coldly, and the gem on the Sun King's scepter immediately ignited with light. Even though the opponent had two strong men from the holy realm, and one elder Zuma was a high-level strong man from the holy realm, Lin Li really had nothing to fear from them.
"Calm down, you two, please calm down." Elder Zuma knew how scary Lin Li was, so naturally he didn't dare to let the two of them fight here. Moreover, at this time, the founding ceremony was about to be held, and many people were coming from all directions. It would be a trivial matter to destroy the Port of Helena, but if the high priest of the kingdom was defeated, it would be a big loss.
"Elder Zuma, you heard it too. It was they who insulted me first, and I must make them pay the price!" Although High Priest Poole said it harshly, he did not take any further action. He also knew in his heart that with his own strength alone, he might not be a match for Feyre, so he wanted to drag Elder Zuma down as well.
"Is it an insult? According to your logic just now, it seems that what they said cannot be said to be an insult. It should be told the truth." Lin Li didn't care at all about the murderous gaze of High Priest Poole, looking at the Sun King's scepter in his hand. It seems to be shaking gently at random, but every time it shakes, there is a special rhythm. Apparently, a very terrifying magic has been accumulated on the Sun King's scepter, and it would take only a matter of minutes to destroy Port Helena.
At this time, Elder Zuma finally persuaded High Priest Poole, turned around and looked at Lin Li in distress, and said: "President Ferre, no matter what you say, we have already produced witness statements. If you don't have any evidence, , then I’m afraid we have to accept their testimony.”
"Yeah, you should come up with evidence. Didn't you say that the testimony made by our people is not credible? Then you can come up with some credible evidence. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net" Delano was also a little bit confused just now. I was so angry at what Klaus and others said. Anyone who hears others say that he is not his father's biological son will probably not be able to remain calm. Therefore, at this time, when he heard Elder Zuma asking for evidence from Lin Li and the others, he immediately started shouting proudly.
Of course, Delano also had a purpose in saying this, which was to squeeze Lin Li and the others. Don't call the sailors on the ship as witnesses if you can. Otherwise, if one's own subordinates serve as witnesses, and the other party also asks one's own subordinates to serve as witnesses, it would be a complete mess.
However, when he heard Delano's squeeze, Lin Li showed no concern. He turned to a sailor who had just come over and said, "Go to the ship and ask the first mate to bring the things from the captain's cabin."
No matter whether it was High Priest Poole, Elder Zuma, or Delano who planned all this, they didn't believe that Lin Li could produce any really strong evidence in this situation. Regardless of whether the witness on Delano's side is really credible, at least the wanted criminal was caught on the Star. There is no doubt about this fact.
Lin Li wanted to prove that the wanted criminal had nothing to do with the Xingchen. It was extremely difficult to overturn the fact that the wanted criminal was captured on the Xingchen, and he couldn't use the sailors on the ship to prove it. Unless he could get the wanted criminal to come out and confess everything himself, or get someone on the Delano side to talk back.
