Legend of the Emperor of One Piece

Not long after Ziyang asked the question, the kingdom's escort team came over, and it was so efficient that even Ziyang nodded secretly.

There were about twenty people in this group of guards, headed by a very tall officer.The captain was about [-] meters tall, with muscles all over his body and looked very powerful. He had a short crew cut, wore a yellow vest and a black cloak.After he came in, he looked at everyone and showed no anger or authority.

"It turns out that Chief Howard came in person. It's great. Now we can hopefully solve the case!" Fatty's cousin Yu Bo came over and smiled at the chief.

Howard nodded slightly, without any change in his serious expression, and walked directly into the room where the scene was.

Ziyang patted the fat man on the shoulder and asked, "What is the origin of this guard captain named Howard?"

The fat man replied: "This Howard was originally an orphan. He was later adopted by Lord Jordan and called him Wu Yi. He is a person loyal to the royal family. Now he is the chief guard of the entire royal capital. He is serious and silent, and does not like to interact with others. comminicate."

Ziyang nodded and then asked: "How strong is he?"

"He is very strong. He has been gifted with divine power since he was a child. His strength was comparable to that of adults when he was young. People who know him say that he is a monster."

Ziyang thought for a while and said to the fat man: "The current situation is not good for you, but when others interrogate you, just tell the truth. Just don't admit that you are the murderer. I will figure out a way later." Find the real culprit and clear your name."

The fat man clenched his fists and said angrily: "Boss Ziyang, you must help me find the real murderer. He killed Leila, and I will never let him go!"

Howard, known as the monster, walked out of the back room and looked around. When he saw the fat man, he frowned and walked over.

"Yu Yu! Let me ask you, when this murder occurred, was there anyone else present in the room besides you?" Howard asked in a deep voice.

"not found."

Howard looked at the fat man and then asked, "What does the deceased have to do with you?"

The fat man said dissatisfied: "Howard, you are asking knowingly. You should know very well that she is the granddaughter of the late High Priest Popovich, and she is a very good friend of mine."

Howard snorted coldly: "Business is business, don't talk more! Let me ask you again, why did Layla appear in your room?"

"I don't know either. I was always drunk and was helped into the room by my servants."

"Oh? Who is that servant? Let him come over."

"It's A Ping, the old steward of our house." At this time, Yu Bo came over and replied.

Howard nodded, waved his hand, and ordered one of his men to call for someone.

Not long after, an old housekeeper was brought over by the guards.

Howard asked: "Is your name Aping? Let me ask you, before the crime happened tonight, was it you who helped your young master go back to his room to rest?"

Aping nodded: "Yes, sir."

"Then when you helped your young master back to his room, did you notice anything wrong in the room?"

Aping shook his head and said: "No, I helped the young master to bed and rested, then checked the room before leaving. I didn't find anything. But the door of the room was not locked at that time."

Howard's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "Okay, you go down first."

The old steward resigned as he was told.

Howard turned around and pointed at Ziyang, Hongfa and others, and asked the fat man: "Yu Yu, what are the origins of these people?"

& nb

sp; The fat man replied: "They are all my friends, and my cousin was drinking with them when the incident happened."

Howard looked at Yu Bo, and the fat man's cousin nodded, indicating that he was right.

Howard pondered for a while and said: "Yu Yu, from the current point of view, you are still the main suspect. According to the procedures, I must take you back for investigation and interrogation."

The fat man breathed out and said, "That's fine. I hope you can find out the truth and give Leila and me an explanation."

Howard signaled to his men to leave four people to guard the scene, while the rest led Yu Yu outside.

After the fat man was taken away, Yu Bo asked Zi Yang worriedly: "Mr. Zi Yang, will something happen to Ah Le?"

Ziyang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will help him clear his suspicions and he will be fine."

Later, Ziyang and Hongfa bid farewell to Yu Bo, and each took their friends back to the courtyard where they originally drank.

The red-haired man sat on the ground, picked up a bottle of wine, took a sip, and asked Ziyang, "How are you doing? Do you have any clues?"

Ziyang sighed: "Although we have some clues, we still don't know who the murderer is."

Weiwei sat next to Ziyang and asked doubtfully: "Do you mean you can determine how the murderer committed the murder?"

Everyone looked at Ziyang, waiting for his answer.

Ziyang nodded and said: "Yes, when the red-haired senior and I arrived at the scene of the crime, there was actually a third person in the fat man's room, but he suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons. This is also what I am confused about. .”

Beckman, the vice-captain of the red-haired pirate group, took a puff of cigarette and said in a low voice: "It seems that the only ones who can do this under our noses are those with Devil Fruit abilities. I don't know if it is an invisibility fruit or a space-type fruit. "

Ziyang smiled and said: "Yes, only fruit abilities can do this, so the next direction of our investigation is to find out who is a fruit ability user near this royal capital. In addition, why does the deceased Leila appear here? The fat man’s room also needs to be investigated. And according to Layla’s expression when she died, it seemed that she knew the deceased, and she didn’t expect the murderer to kill him. I guess the murderer had a close relationship with Layla, and the murderer also knew him Fatty, he has a clearer grasp of the affairs between the two of them."

As the person with the highest IQ among the pirates, Beckman nodded immediately: "So we have three aspects to investigate. The first is to find out the people with devil fruit abilities, the second is to investigate the clues about Layla, and the second is to investigate The third one is investigating Yu Yu’s line.”

"Then how should we distribute it?" Weiwei asked

The red-haired man smiled and said, "Leave it to us to investigate the fruit's ability. I've been here before and I know some old friends."

Ziyang said happily: "If you have seniors, you will definitely gain something. The next two directions will be left to us."

The red-haired man nodded and looked at the sky. It was almost dawn.So he said: "It's almost dawn, let's go check first. I'll let you know when there's news."

Ziyang nodded and stood up to bid farewell to the group of red-haired people.

Luo held the long sword and asked: "Master Ziyang, what should we do next?"

Ziyang immediately said: "Luo and Juro Beibo are going to investigate Layla's aspect, Robin Weiwei and I are going to investigate the clue about Fatty, and Legolas will stay here to observe the situation and see if there is anyone suspicious behind."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Ziyang looked back at the courtyard and said to everyone: "Don't think that Fatty is a bit out of place. In fact, he is very strong. He is at least a master swordsman. This time we will not only help him clear his grievances, but also let him get rid of his grievances." He became our partner.”

Everyone was surprised. They really didn't expect Ziyang to give such a high evaluation to Fatty!
