Chapter 429 Investigation
"No evidence at all?" Doberman said coldly, "We may not have the courage to frame an admiral of the Navy Headquarters. The reason why we publicly announced your evidence is because we have definite evidence, but we cannot let you know about it.
"Everyone knows that you, Lu Kai, are a user of the Space Fruit ability. You come and go without a trace. What if you find out the location of the evidence and then secretly destroy it?"
"That's right!" Lu Kai said nonchalantly, "Then let's move on to the next item!"
"I hope you can stay calm later!" Dauberman gritted his teeth and said, "11 years ago, when Luke was 16 years old, his hometown, Fountain Town in Itachisia, was attacked by pirates, and his family was almost robbed. I think everyone knows about this, right?"
Lu Kai's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Haha, weren't you very crazy just now?" Dauberman laughed proudly, "What do you mean by asking me? I ask you, where have your family gone all these years? Why have all your family members disappeared since then?
“The reason you gave at the beginning was that you were afraid of pirates or others taking revenge on your family, but why is it that after all these years, even the World Government and the Navy Headquarters’ intelligence departments have been unable to find out their whereabouts?
"If you, Lu Kai, didn't have something to hide, why did you hide them so deeply? Aren't you afraid that if what you did was exposed, your family would be involved?"
Hearing this, many officers felt uncomfortable. The navy had never stipulated that the families of naval officers must live under the supervision of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters. Instead, they all took care of their own families.
If the Navy Headquarters really had this rule, the families of the officers and soldiers would have lived like hostages and people would have lost their morale long ago.
There are millions of naval officers and soldiers all over the world. The higher up in the naval headquarters, the more they must pay attention to the safety of their families, so it is normal to move to a place where no one knows.
Among the current senior executives of the Marine Headquarters, except for Marshal Sengoku's family who lives in Marinford, the families of most of the three admirals and other vice admirals are not here.
Whether to bring your family to live in Marinford is entirely voluntary, and only officers with higher positions have this privilege.
Therefore, Lu Kai hiding his family and not letting anyone know did not actually violate any regulations. It was just that Doberman and his companions were obviously targeting Lu Kai and found this reason.
"My family is missing, what's the problem?" Lu Kai asked coldly.
"No problem!" Doberman said, "It's just that we hope to see your family. As the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, you can bring your family to the Navy Headquarters to better protect them, right?"
"You mean, you want to use my family as hostages to restrict me?" Lu Kai asked coldly.
Dauberman looked at him viciously and said, "General Luke, don't say such harsh words. Don't you insist that you are innocent? In that case, let your family live in Marinford for a while so that we can continue the investigation and clear your name. This will be good for everyone, right? Or do you have something to hide and don't dare to do it at all?"
"I'm not hiding something, I just don't trust you." Lu Kai snorted, "The four charges you've put on me today are all frame-ups. You've proven things I haven't done.
"If you come up with some kind of wrongful conviction, I won't have anywhere to seek justice. I will never let my family fall into your hands, so I will never agree to this request."
Doberman seemed to have known that Lu Kai would say this, and warned: "Lu Kai, do you know whose order this is?"
"Even if it's an order from the Lord, it won't work!" Lu Kai stood up and said in a cold tone, "If you have any objections, ask the person who gave you the order to come and tell me in person. I want to see if he really wants to force me like this."
Doberman was immediately speechless, and the others who were cooperating with Doberman did not speak at this time. Although he was very arrogant throughout the whole process, it was because he was holding the Imperial Sword.
But once Lu Kai turns against them, the imperial sword in their hands will be completely useless. If Lu Kai really loses his temper without regard for everything, they will surely die based on what they did today.
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Even though Lu Kai's prestige has declined in recent years, it is still incomparable to ordinary people. His name "Red Wind" Lu Kai is not boasted, but earned through real fighting.
Others might have doubts about Luke's strength, but no one in the Navy Headquarters would think so. When Luke went crazy, Doberman and the others felt a sudden shock in their hearts for no reason. Fear unconsciously spread in their hearts, and they became silent and could no longer be arrogant.
At this time, Lieutenant General He spoke up and said, "General Lu Kai, please calm down. Since someone has reported it and provided evidence, it is normal to accept the investigation, but don't worry, we will investigate this matter thoroughly."
As he spoke, Lieutenant General He gave Lu Kai a look.
Vice Admiral Tsuru was also one of Lu Kai's guides. Since Lu Kai entered the Navy Headquarters, she had given Lu Kai a lot of help. In addition, as the chief of staff of the Navy Headquarters, she was very smart and must have had a plan.
Seeing this, Lu Kai calmed down a lot because of the pedestrians of Lieutenant General He, and sat down slowly.
"Lu Kai, since you don't want to bring your family to Marinford, forget about it. I believe I can still do this." At this time, Zhan Guo also glanced at Dauberman and the others with an extremely dissatisfied tone, and said, "After all, there are still doubts about this matter. We can't just ignore everything and completely disappoint you and everyone else.
"But you are indeed a big suspect, so for the next period of time you must not go anywhere, you must stay at the Navy Headquarters, and fully cooperate with the investigation. Do you have any objections?"
"No problem!" Lu Kai shook his head.
"Marshal Zhan Guo, what do you mean?" Doberman saw that Lu Kai had stopped and immediately started shouting again, "Lu Kai is the most dangerous criminal in the world. Are you going to let him go without even putting handcuffs on him? If he runs away, can you bear the responsibility?"
"You bastards are going too far!" Before Zhan Guo could answer, a loud shout rang out, and then a figure flashing with lightning suddenly appeared in the center of the conference hall.
The person who came had terrifying momentum and was filled with murderous intent. He was none other than the current admiral of the Navy Headquarters, 'Shiryu' Su Luo.
"Su Luo, why are you back?" Zhan Guo was a little surprised when he saw Su Luo, because he did not inform Su Luo about this meeting.
"We just completed the mission and returned home." Su Luo explained casually, then walked up to Lu Kai and said to him indignantly, "Master, these bastards have obviously been planning this for a long time and have ulterior motives. You must not be controlled by them, otherwise, with their viciousness, you can't be sure what will happen."
"Su Luo, what do you mean?" Doberman asked urgently.
