Marude suddenly jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly, "What did you say!"
That liaison officer timidly said, "Special Class, the... the Director is dead."
Marude quickly cald down, face full of seriousness.
"Just now you said the murderer was that brat Jotaro, did you witness the whole process at the ti?"
The liaison officer shook his head and explained, "We hadn't been able to contact the Director, so we planned to head to his command room. Who knew... the Director was already lying in a pool of blood..."
His face was full of fear. "We didn't understand what had happened, so we pulled up the surveillance of the command room!"
"In the surveillance, First-Class Kujo walked out of the command room covered in blood!!!"
He shouted in a loss of emotional control, "No mistake! The one who killed the Director was First-Class Kujo!"
Marude's face was gloomy, the knuckles of his clenched fist creaking.
'Yoshitoki!'
His relationship with Washuu Yoshitoki was extrely close. This ti, being able to serve as the chief commander of the Owl extermination operation was also due to the other's trust.
Now receiving news of his death, how could he not be angry.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Marude waved his hand and ordered, "Bring the surveillance footage."
Even now, he hadn't completely lost his composure.
Only after seeing the truth with his own eyes could he determine who the real culprit was.
"Yes!" The liaison officer replied sorrowfully, then turned around and went to retrieve the footage per Marude's orders.
And in that split second when he turned, the corner of his mouth lifted into a mocking curve.
"Marude! What's wrong?! Why aren't you speaking?"
From the communication device ca Shinohara's anxious voice. Marude took a deep breath and said, "Shinohara, the Director is dead!"
"What!" Shinohara was shocked to the extre.
"The Director was stationed in the rear, before the battle with the Owl, he even gave us instructions."
"Now the Owl has already been eliminated, how could he be dead? Don't joke like that."
"You think I would joke about sothing like this?!"
Marude looked at the liaison officer running over in a hurry, received the projection device from his hands.
In the footage, Jotaro Jotaro, face full of indifference, walked into Director Washuu's command room. After almost a full minute, he walked out covered in blood, still wearing that sa indifferent expression.
That face, he would never forget.
The veins bulged on the hand Marude used to grip the device as he roared, "Arrest this traitor Jotaro!"
When Shinohara heard Marude's voice, he asked confusedly, "What nonsense are you saying, Jotaro is a major contributor in the extermination battle!"
"Hmph!" Marude snorted coldly through his nose.
"And he's also the murderer who killed Director Washuu!"
"In the footage, the one who killed the Director is him!"
Upon hearing this, Shinohara turned pale with shock. "Impossible!"
He looked at Jotaro not far away. No matter what, he couldn't believe this guy had killed the Director.
"Could Marude be mistaken? Jotaro has been with us all along, he just helped eliminate the Owl."
Marude said, "It's entirely possible he killed the Director before coming here!"
"Special Class! Soone woke up!" A team mber ca running to report the good news joyfully.
Take Hirako shook his head, stood up from the ground, still feeling groggy.
He had once partnered with Kishou Arima. Although he had an average face, his strength was outstanding.
Even before being forcefully awakened by the team mbers, he had already regained consciousness by his own will.
Marude rushed over in a single stride, grabbed his shoulders and asked, "First-Class Hirako, what exactly happened then! How did your whole team faint? Who was the one that attacked you?!"
Hirako held his aching head, recalled the scene at that ti, and said with absolute certainty, "First-Class Kujo, the one who attacked us was First-Class Kujo!"
Jotaro, relying on his strength alone, took down their entire squad. Hirako was no exception.
As for the reason the other party did this,
he didn't know.
After hearing Hirako's words, Marude beca even more convinced.
"Shinohara, you heard it too. Although there are still so doubts, we can only arrest him first and investigate later!"
Shinohara ended the call, face extrely grim.
Kuroiwa asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Shinohara?"
Shinohara said in a low voice, "Just received an order, capture Jotaro alive!"
Jotaro was just about to leave, but the investigators all blocked his path with unfriendly expressions.
His expression remained calm, his gaze swept across the faces of the investigators, and he found their eyes all held hidden anger.
Although he didn't know the reason, he didn't ask, because he knew the other party would speak first.
"Jotaro!" Shinohara stood at the front and questioned loudly, "Was it you who killed the Director?!"
A strange expression briefly flashed across Jotaro's face, obviously, this news caught him off guard.
Before he could even respond, a team mber jumped out and said, "Special Class Shinohara, he won't admit it."
"It's common sense that criminals lie." The other team mbers nodded in agreent.
"Since there's surveillance footage as evidence, then it's almost certain that Jotaro killed the Director."
Ui from Kuroiwa's team said. "Let's arrest him first and interrogate later."
Jotaro had not spoken the entire ti. His brain was working at high speed. He felt there was sothing very fishy about this whole matter.
Around Shinohara stood an entire squad. In front of them was only Jotaro alone. Yet, they didn't dare make a move hastily, only remained in a stalemate with him.
After a long mont, Jotaro ended his thinking and took a step forward.
In that mont, Shinohara's pupils shrank, and he shouted, "Everyone enter battle-ready status! Don't let your guard down!"
This opponent had easily taken down the Owl, his strength was likely on par with Arima.
Against such an opponent, he couldn't afford to be careless.
"What are you all doing!"
Mado Akira had followed over, and seeing everyone treat Jotaro as an enemy, was full of confusion.
"Akira, back off quickly!" Shinohara's eyes didn't leave Jotaro for a second. "He's an opponent even more terrifying than the Owl."
"Jotaro! It's best if you surrender peacefully!" Shinohara still tried to avoid a fight.
"If it wasn't you who killed the Director, we'll give you a fair judgnt."
Surrender peacefully? How could Jotaro possibly surrender?
Although he wasn't sure what exactly happened, he had already guessed soone was framing him.
He had to find the person who frad him, so it was impossible for him to be captured here.
"I refuse."
Jotaro's eyes were cold. He didn't make any other movents, he just coldly said three words.
Yet, the hand Shinohara used to grip his Quinque broke into a cold sweat in that instant.
The rest of the team mbers all had solemn expressions.
Both sides were on the verge of a deadly clash.
"Killed Director Washuu?" Mado Akira murmured softly, completely disbelieving.
"Why would First-Class Kujo kill Director Washuu?"
'That guy, how could he kill soone!'
She held her swollen half-face, her eyes shimring with soft light.
Although Jotaro sotis struck a little harshly, she could feel, he was a gentle person.
"Special Class Shinohara, isn't there so kind of misunderstanding?"
