Chapter 120: This Is a Misunderstanding
In the cabin of the Aegwon, Kong Ming, who had undergone Hobagu's operation and was out of danger, had his upper body covered with bandages and leaned on the bed with a pale face.
There was also a metal bracket standing beside the bed, on which hung a bottle of bright red liquid, which was connected to Kong Ming's left hand with a tube.
On the other side of the cabin was Princess Otohime, who was crying. Behind the princess stood several of his sons.
They were sent by King Neptune to visit Kong Ming after knowing that someone had assassinated his wife, and Kong Ming blocked the shot for the princess, and thanked him by the way.
Neptune, the king of Fishman Island, also said that if it wasn't for the small size of the Aegwen, he should have come to visit in person.
In the middle of the cabin, the man wearing a top hat, 'Devil Sheriff' Lafitte was half-kneeling on the ground.
"I'm really sorry, Master, I missed it," Lafitte said with a serious face, "The criminal who attacked you ran away!"
"Before I entered the operating room, didn't I hear that Princess Otohime asked 'Sea Man' Jinbe to assist you?"
Although Kong Ming's face was pale and bloodless, his tone was still calm. "Is there an expert in Murloc Island who can escape under the attack of both you and Jinbei?"
After hearing Kong Ming's words, Princess Othime stopped crying and looked at Lafitte with big eyes. The murloc Jinbe standing on the other side lowered his head without saying a word.
"It's impossible for Fishman Island to have such a master, Master!" Lafitte replied respectfully, "In fact, when I found the criminal and was subduing him, Shichibukai Jinpei suddenly shot at me. so……"
"Jinbe is attacking you..." Princess Otohime immediately turned to Jinbe with puzzled eyes.
"Oh..." Kong Ming's face was a little gloomy, and he cast his eyes on the murloc Jinbe standing aside, "Master Jinpei, is what my subordinate said true?"
"Yes!" Jinbe hesitated for a moment, but nodded calmly.
"When I arrived at the coral reef in the direction pointed by the princess, I happened to see two fleeing figures from behind, so I shot at the person behind without hesitation, but I didn't expect that the person behind was you, Your Excellency. subordinate."
"Your Excellency Kong Ming, this is a misunderstanding..." Seeing Kong Ming's gloomy face, Princess Yi Ji stepped forward immediately.
"Misunderstanding..." The corner of Kong Ming's mouth twitched, revealing a mocking smile.
"That's right, it must be a misunderstanding." Princess Otohime, standing between Kong Ming and Jinbei, nodded desperately.
"How could this be a misunderstanding..." Lafitte, who was half kneeling on the ground, raised his head.
"I have been ordered to buy special products on Murloc Island for more than a year. Although I dare not say that all the murlocs in Murloc Island know me, it is impossible for Master Jinpei not to know me, but he did not hesitate. Let the criminal run away."
"It happened so suddenly..." Princess Otohime waved her hands, desperately explaining, "It's possible that Jinbei got it wrong for a while!"
"It can't be a mistake," Lafitte said with determination, "Because Master Jinbe and this criminal know each other!"
"Jinbe knows too many people," Princess Otohime waved her hands anxiously, looking at Kong Ming with a pleading look. "This actually doesn't explain anything..."
With a mocking smile on Kong Ming's face, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Princess Yiji's anxious face with tears streaming down her face, a helpless look appeared on her face.
"Okay, that's it!"
Kong Ming let out a long sigh, leaned back on the head of the bed a little dejectedly, closed his eyes, and waved his hands with difficulty.
"The criminal ran away, this is a misunderstanding, let's stop here!"
"It can't stop here!" Lafitte stood up excitedly, "I suspect that Shichibu Kaijinpei is providing assistance to these thugs on Murloc Island who want to provoke the relationship between Murlocs and humans..."
"Okay, needless to say!" Kong Ming weakly raised a hand, signaling Lafitte to stop. "I said, this is a misunderstanding, and the matter will stop here, and then we will find a chance to catch the guy who ran away."
"But……"
"There's nothing but..." Kong Ming waved his hands with difficulty.
"I am very grateful for Your Excellency's protection," the Murloc Jinbe stood up, "but the matter is related to my reputation, so I hope Your Excellency can let him finish."
"Your Majesty Jinbe," Kong Ming opened his eyes, his face was very ugly, "You said it was a misunderstanding, and I already believed it was a misunderstanding for the sake of Princess Otohime, isn't that enough?"
"Your Excellency's belief is different from the truth," Jinbe said seriously, "Please let him finish, I want to know why he said that I provide assistance to criminals..."
"Of course I have to finish." Lafitte stood up, pressing his top hat with his hands, "I have solid evidence that can prove that Shichibukai Jinpei has some kind of connection with the person who assassinated the princess today."
"If you want to say that they know each other, you don't have to..." Kong Ming relaxed his body and sat on the bed,
"Jinbe was born in Murloc Street, served as the guard of Ryugu City, and was once the backbone of Tiger's Sun Pirates. He knows a lot of murlocs. This is not surprising at all..."
"It's not just as simple as knowing," Lafitte took out a phone bug with big eyes from his body, "here is the undeniable evidence..."
Kong Ming first set his sights on
Princess Otohime, after the other party nodded, he turned his attention to Jinbe again, and after Jinbe also nodded, he nodded slightly at Lafitte.
After Kong Ming nodded, Lafitte immediately connected the monitoring phone bug to a projection device on the wall of Kong Ming's room, and soon, a picture appeared on the wall.
It can be seen that Lafitte's hands are very steady, and the pictures taken are not shaken at all.
At the beginning of the picture, a human pirate is seen packing a rifle on the ground, and behind him stands a murloc wearing a mask. Then they heard the murloc say, "Damn it, it was blocked by that human with glasses."
"Because I can fly, I arrived very quickly. The two assassins hadn't had time to escape yet,"
Lafitte explained on the side, "But because it's a murloc and a human, without knowing the mastermind, I didn't rush to do it, but took pictures of the other party first."
"Good job, Lafitte!" Kong Ming nodded slightly, finalizing the matter!
Then Lafitte poked the image twice with the cane in his hand, "Everyone will soon know why I said Suspect Jinbe deliberately let the assassin go, yes, this is here..."
Lafitte pressed the phone bug once with his hand, and the picture was frozen at the scene where Hody Jones stabbed the human pirate from behind with a knife, killing and silenced.
"The mastermind of assassinating the princess this time is this person, Hody Jones!"
