Chapter 90

The injured parrotfish-man lifted his heavy eyelids and glanced at Karl.

Then he slowly raised his bruised arm and pointed at Karl: "You, you were the one who beat me Move Move Like this!"

The lionfish-man hiding in the crowd revealed a smile and looked at Karl with mockery, as if to say, you can’t deny it now!

Karl was about to speak, but after thinking for a moment, he called Ain over and whispered: "Take the other injured fish-men to a place further away, don't let them hear me talking to this fish-man."

Ain nodded, and under the pretext of treating the wounded, she arranged for some Navy soldiers to carry the other 4 injured fish-men to a corner.

Karl felt the distance was about right, so he said to the parrotfish-man.

"Are you sure I was the one who beat you Move Move Like this? What time, what location, and what did I use to beat you last night? Was there anyone else besides you?"

The injured fish-man was silent for a long while, then said intermittently: "The time... was last night. I went out for a walk after eating, and when I reached the corner of the Marlin Shopping Center, you suddenly appeared."

"I accidentally bumped into you, and you said, 'Lowly fish-man, you dare to block Laozi’s path? Go to hell!'"

"My head hurt at the time, and then I lost consciousness! As for other people, no!"

The lionfish-man standing not far away immediately fanned the flames: "Did you see that? It was the Navy who did it, and they even called us lowly fish-men! Everyone, can we tolerate this?"

"Humans! Don't be too arrogant! We fish-men are not an inferior species!"

"Damn humans!"

Karl turned his head to look at Smoker and Ain and said calmly: "Maintain order!"

"Yes!"

The Navy immediately mobilized, forming a human wall to block the fish-men who wanted to rush up and attack. Nelson fired a shot into the sky.

Bang!

The loud gunshot immediately made the fish-men quiet down.

Karl glanced faintly at the lionfish-man not far away. This guy was suspicious, but it was too early to take action now.

Karl casually condensed a ball of white holy light, which possessed ultimate healing effects, thereby achieving a "purification" effect.

Five seconds later, the injuries on the parrotfish-man’s body disappeared without a trace.

"Your injuries have been healed. What you said just now is true, right?"

The parrotfish-man stood up and touched his body. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He looked around Move Move Like a thief, and after spotting the lionfish-man, he shivered subconsciously.

"It’s true, absolutely true!"

Karl nodded: "Very good. Since your injuries are healed, please stand on the other side. Nelson, call two people to watch him and have him record the testimony from just now!"

"Yes!"

"Remember to ask where he lives!" Nelson nodded.

Then Karl looked at Ain, signaling her to send another injured fish-man over, and then the same script followed.

This red-winged fish-man’s story was also that he went out for a walk last night, met Karl at a corner, and was knocked unconscious, only the location was at the Coral Apartments.

Then came the third, the fourth, and the fifth.

The lionfish-man hiding in the crowd revealed a disdainful smile. The boss was too wise; he had specifically told him this scene might happen, so the testimony of each injured fish-man was different.

Want to clear your name with this? Hmph! Wishful thinking.

"Ain, go and invite the owner of the inn we stayed at yesterday!"

Ain seemed to understand something, nodded happily, and used the Soru technique to dash over.

Ten minutes later, the inn owner was brought over by Ain, his eyes full of confusion.

"Owner Charlotte, we stayed at your inn last night. Do you still have an impression of us?"

Charlotte nodded: "Of course, only you two humans stayed yesterday, how could I not remember?"

"We ate at the restaurant across from you at 18:00 yesterday, checked into your inn at 19:00, ordered two late-night snacks at 21:00, and never went out during that time until we left the inn at 7:00 this morning, right?"

Charlotte scratched his head and then nodded affirmatively: "That’s right, that’s exactly it."

Karl revealed a smile: "Thank you, Owner Charlotte, you can go back now!"

Then Karl took the testimonies left by the five fish-men from a marine and said loudly.

"Everyone, this is their testimony from just now. They all said that I beat them, and the time was roughly the same, all at the time they finished eating, but there were five different locations."

"They are Coral Apartments, Mermaid Bay, Fish-Man Culture Hall, Marlin Shopping Center, and Waterwheel Town."

"So the question is, what time do you usually eat?"

The fish-man residents spoke all at once: "5:30!" "6:00!" "You all eat so early? My family doesn't eat until 7:00!"

The scene suddenly turned into a vegetable market, with discussions everywhere, and nothing could be heard clearly.

"Quiet! Quiet, everyone listen to me! Since everyone’s meal times vary from 5:00 to 8:00, I’ll assume they all ate at 6:30 and then went for a walk. Do you think that’s plausible?"

"That’s about right! It should be Move Move Like that."

Karl clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention, and after it became quieter, he said: "You heard what Owner Charlotte said just now. I was at the inn after 19:00. Where would I find the time to go out and wander around in the middle of the night?"

"And these five places they mentioned are almost at the four corners of Fish-Man Island. Why would I, a human, commit crimes at such far-apart locations? And on Fish-Man Island, where I’m not familiar with the place?"

"The most important point is that all five of them are residents living in Coral Hill. Would they really walk all the way to Mermaid Bay? Waterwheel Town?"

"So, they are lying! Even if they were attacked, they would have been attacked in the same place!"

Although the residents of Fish-Man Island looked strange, they were born of mothers and weren't stupid. They also knew these five fish-men; they were indeed residents of Coral Hill. Why would they run to Mermaid Bay or Waterwheel Town in the middle of the night?

"That’s right! I said I felt something wasn't quite right!" "Exactly, they must be lying!"

The lionfish-man cursed inwardly. They actually found the loophole. Damn humans!

Just as he was about to leave, he found he couldn't move. Looking back, it was Karl with a half-smile on his face.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave!"

Then Karl grabbed the lionfish-man, dragged him to an open area, pointed his raven at his neck, and said coldly: "Speak! Who instructed you to frame the Navy!"

"What who instructed me? I don't know!"

The residents of Fish-Man Island weren't stupid. Seeing the lionfish-man’s face, they suddenly realized: "Isn't this Kasha Koba, the thug from Fish-Man District?"

"That’s right, it’s him! He’s a subordinate of that bastard Hody Jones!"
