Chapter 267 Confrontation, Evidence
"You're saying that Lukai and I colluded with each other, taking advantage of our positions and power, and secretly let go of O'Hara scholars during the period when O'Hara launched the Demon Killing Order?" Kuzan asked immediately after Karain sat down.
"That's right!" Karain said provocatively with his head raised without any fear.
"You also said that the two of us were trying to overthrow the World Government?" Kuzan continued to ask.
"So what if I said it?" Kara replied with disdain, with an expression that said, "What can you do to me?"
"That's enough!" The government official saw Karain's provocative look and quickly stopped him, saying, "Since the informant is here, we will question him according to the procedure.
"Lieutenant General Kuzan, Lieutenant General Lukai, you just need to answer my questions truthfully.
"As for you, Major General Karain, everything must be based on evidence. Let's talk about this matter bit by bit." The government official looked at Karain with cold eyes and said, "You said that Lieutenant General Lukai and Lieutenant General Kuzan colluded with each other. Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes!" Karain said firmly.
"Can you tell me more about it?" the government official asked.
"Of course, I was monitoring a nearby Den Den Mushi facility just before the bombardment of O'Hara.
"Originally, I just wanted to confirm whether O'Hara had any contact with the outside world and whether he had other accomplices. I didn't expect to accidentally monitor the phone call between Lieutenant General Lukai and Lieutenant General Kuzan."
Karain gritted his teeth and said, "Luckily I heard their conversation, otherwise I wouldn't have known there were such scums in the navy. They hold important positions, but they actually colluded with each other and protected the most heinous criminals."
"Major General Karain, watch your words. This is a place to discuss evidence. Don't get personal." The government official scolded, and then asked: "You said you heard Lieutenant General Lu Kai and Lieutenant General Kuzan talking on the phone? When? What was the content?"
“It was ten minutes before O’Hara launched the bombardment that Lieutenant General Kuzan called Lieutenant General Luquet.
"The content of the call was that Lieutenant General Kuzan and Lieutenant General Lukai said that the attack on O'Hara was abnormal and unjust, and it was a false accusation against O'Hara scholars. The World Government is a dark, hypocritical and evil government.
“So Lieutenant General Kuzan hoped that Lieutenant General Lukai could work with him to secretly let these scholars go, and Lieutenant General Lukai also expressed that he was extremely dissatisfied with this attack and would fully cooperate with Lieutenant General Kuzan’s actions.
"At that time, Vice Admiral Kuzan will be on the periphery, and Vice Admiral Lukai will sneak into the interior of Ohara Island and use the power of the fruit to rescue the scholars."
"Nonsense!" A furious voice interrupted the trial. Major General Latilos under Luke stood up suddenly and shouted: "Ten minutes before O'Hara launched the bombardment, a large group of us followed Lieutenant General Luke, and Lieutenant General Luke definitely did not make a phone call.
"After the bombardment began, Lieutenant General Lu Kai never left our sight for even a second. We have at least a hundred people who can testify to this. You bastard, I'm going to chop you to pieces."
All the iron army members under Lu Kai were furious at this moment.
Obviously, Admiral Luke was the one who suffered the most in the O'Hara incident, but he still managed to complete the task. However, he did not expect to be slandered like this.
Lu Kai had already told his officers not to get excited at the trial, but how could these people bear it at the moment? They all wanted to cut Karain into pieces.
"Lt. Admiral Kuzan was the same. More than an hour before the bombardment of O'Hara, he was lying in a rocking chair on the deck of the warship, sleeping... ahem... reading a book. Many people can testify to this.
"Although Vice Admiral Kuzan later left the warship, it was to deal with former Vice Admiral Sauron, who the other navies could not handle. Many people saw it with their own eyes." One of Vice Admiral Kuzan's subordinates immediately stood up and defended him.
"That's amazing. I've always heard that Lieutenant General Lu Kai is good at managing his subordinates. Your subordinates obey you. I didn't expect that your subordinates are willing to lie for you in public.
"Lieutenant General Lai Kuzan is also quite capable in this area." Karain sneered, not believing what was said just now.
"Major General Karain!" The judge immediately scolded Karain, saying, "You only need to tell the facts you know, and don't say anything else."
Then the judge turned to look at Lu Kai's subordinates and Ku Zan's subordinates, and said in a comforting tone: "Everyone, it is not time to defend yet, but since you have already made your explanation, then it will be regarded as asking the witnesses for their opinions in advance. We will accept your testimony.
"But please take a seat now. We are going to continue the trial."
The major generals under Latilos and Kuzan wanted to say something, but were glared at by Luke and Kuzan respectively, so they could only sit down in disappointment.
"Did anyone else hear this conversation besides you?" the judge continued to ask Karain.
"No, I wish more people would hear their conspiracy and know what kind of people they are." Kara said indignantly, "But I only heard it because I accidentally monitored it. When I heard their conversation, there was no one else next to me."
The judge continued, "So, other than you hearing it, is there any evidence that you heard them say these words?"
"I have no grudges against Lieutenant General Kuzan and Lieutenant General Lukai. There must be a reason why I reported them, so I have the evidence." As he said this, Major General Karain immediately took out an empty recording shell from his pocket.
As Karain pressed the button, the sound of Kuzan and Lukai's conversation came out. The whole audience was in an uproar, because the content in the Den Den Mushi was exactly the same as what Karain said.
"Hmph!" Even though Lu Kai heard the recording, he still snorted coldly.
"Lieutenant General Lu Kai, do you have anything to say?" the government official asked Lu Kai.
"Is it okay to just ask him a few questions?" Lu Kai asked the government official calmly.
"Lieutenant General Luca and Lieutenant General Kuzan have the right to defend themselves and can naturally ask questions," the judge replied.
"Well, Major General Karain, right? Let me ask you, besides this recording, do you have any other evidence to prove that I am in collusion with Lieutenant General Kuzan?"
"No!" Karain answered directly.
"Very good. Let me ask you again, besides the recording, is there any evidence to prove that I let the O'Hara scholar go?" Lu Kai continued to ask.
"No!" Karain answered again.
"Very good. Let me ask you another question. Is there any evidence that the O'Hara scholar escaped?"
"No!" Karain continued to deny.
But suddenly he remembered something, and Karain said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot, after the Tree of All-Knowing was burned, we checked the number of bodies inside and found that there were a few fewer bodies than the number of scholars registered by O'Hara."
