He opened his eyes and looked at the door that was pushed open. The floorboards wriggled, as if they were suddenly flowing and fading. The entire wooden board strangely rose from the ground and gradually condensed into the shape of a human.
"I found where they were hiding!" Crowe's clothes and hands were fading with the mottled paint color. He adjusted the frame of his glasses and said: "They were very vigilant. I didn't dare to enter the house, but when I was at the door, I heard a few very interesting conversations."
Yarlin was half leaning on the sofa, one foot on the other leg, looking at Crowe quietly and listening to his next words.
"From their conversation, I inferred that there should be three people in the house, one is Gilas, another is the man who opened the door for him, I don't know his name, and the last one is the source of the report, Investigator Star." Crowe recalled the few words he heard. After thinking for a moment, he put on a sinister fake smile and said, "What's interesting is that this investigator, Star, seems to have been kept in the dark by two people. He doesn't seem to know the fact that Jarras has secretly contacted us."
"Are you sure?" Ya Erlin picked up the report from the armrest. His eyes were cold as he read through the contents of the report again. His expression was indescribably intriguing.
"From their sneaky tone when they spoke at the time, and the word drowsy, I can only think of the word drug!" Crowe sneered: "I'm 80% sure that I can confirm this matter."
Yarlin threw the report on the table and said: "You heard it in the room just now, the double spy of the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, Cp6, is really big. What do you think?"
"We can't judge whether what he said is true or not for the time being, so we can only think that what he said is true. Then, quietly getting rid of him is not a good way. Even if we design an accident and do it seamlessly, it won't help. It can't fundamentally solve the problem. If this batch of people dies, there will be the next batch, and they took the initiative to jump out with selfishness. It's hard to say what will happen to the next batch of people." Klaus analyzed, "So killing them is not advisable. We can only accept their threats, cooperate, and then try to control them."
"We need absolute control and dominance." Yarlin glanced at the report again and said, "Since this group of investigators has split into two groups, then it's easy to deal with them."
Yarlin folded the report and stuffed it back into the letter. Then, he stood up and walked up to Klaus, tossing the letter to him, and smiled sinisterly. "Just follow the plan that Jarras and I discussed and came up with, with only some minor changes in the middle. You do this …"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Klaus tucked the letter into his clothes and took off his glasses to wipe them gently.
… ….
The seagull flag fluttered in the wind, and the warship sailed quickly on the blue sea. Smoker sat on the deck, his sunglasses reflecting a faint black light under the sunlight.
Grumble … Grumble …
The snail-shaped Den Den Mushi on the side kept calling. Tashigi stood behind Smoker and reminded him with a worried look: "Captain Smoker, these are all calls from the headquarters. Is it really okay to not answer them?"
"What's the difference between answering them and not answering them?" Smoker took off his sunglasses, revealing his wrinkled eyebrows, and his eyes were filled with a palpitating determination: "It's nothing more than that. I don't have the power to investigate and enforce the law. Even if Colonel Yarlin is really problematic, he should first report it to the headquarters and ask the headquarters to send someone to investigate it carefully instead of directly snatching people from 153 Branch, causing Marine casualties, destroying the friendship between various Naval Branch, and causing strong resentment among the East Blue Navy. Some senior officers in the headquarters are also very dissatisfied with my behavior. I have received more than a dozen of such calls in the past few days. Hmph ~ In fact, they all mean the same thing. The headquarters has tacitly agreed that Monca was killed by Lippa. They don't want to waste time on this kind of thing, so they want me to execute Lippa and then obediently go back to Loguetown. Otherwise, they will definitely not give me a good result afterwards!"
Tashigi stared at the Den Den Mushi that had been ringing all the time. There was some hesitation on her face, and she said hesitantly: "Captain Smoker, what if, I mean, if your judgment is wrong, and Lippa deceived us, then what should we do?"
Smoker was already in his thirties. His face was cracked from years of exposure to the sea breeze, and the slightest frown would cause fine wrinkles to appear at the corners of his eyes. This caused his fierce and cold face to exude a confidence that had been tempered by the passage of time. "My instincts can't be wrong. That Li Pak also gives off a gloomy feeling, but that's not a big problem. On the other hand, that Colonel Arlen definitely has a huge problem."
Having said that, Tashigi's reminder made Smoker subconsciously worry. What if he was wrong again?
Last time, it was because of his stubbornness and stubbornness that he was sent here by the headquarters. This time, if his judgment is wrong again, he is afraid that he will really …
Shaking his head, he bit down on the cigar in his mouth with his sharp teeth. The burning end of the cigar left a black spot on the deck. "I underestimated the power of the Marine Club," he said coldly. "I didn't expect you to be able to contact the higher-ups of the headquarters. However, if you want me, Smoker, to retreat, then you're wrong. This only makes me more certain that there's a huge problem with the Marine Club, and Arlen is definitely the breakthrough point!"
Snap!
Smoker picked up the Den Den Mushi and connected it, and said to the other side of the phone in a solemn tone: "Understood, I will immediately stop this reckless action and immediately turn the course back to Loguetown. As for the murderer of Colonel Monca, I will also execute him according to the instructions of the higher-ups."
Tashigi hugged her katana and didn't even dare to breathe as she watched Colonel Smoker hang up the phone. The rolling smoke wrapped around the Den Den Mushi and suddenly threw it in a parabola, smashing into the sea and quickly sinking without a trace.
"Finally, it's quiet!" Smoker stared at the bottomless sea and sneered. He turned his back to Tashigi and said: "Go wake up Lippa who is resting and let him come to the deck to get some fresh air. By the way, guide us to Shields Island. We have to apologize to Colonel Yarlin of 153 Branch, humph!!"
The sails fluttered, and the dark clouds in the sky pressed down, like an upside-down black mountain falling layer by layer to the edge of the sea. Li Pa swallowed and pointed to the distance shrouded in dark clouds. "Shields Island is in that direction!"
