Japan may not find enough evidence to prove that the Chinese team killed their people, but it is also difficult for the Chinese team to find enough evidence to prove that it was the Japanese team who first pulled out their weapons on them and that the Japanese team was not killed by the Chinese team.
It won't be good for their reputation if they remain suspect for a long time.
Zhou Xixian suddenly brought up a point, "By the way, wasn't the American team nearby during the incident? They may have witnessed everything that took place."
The Chinese team only realized the presence of the American team when they fled the scene.
Although the American team has not returned to their home country and instead has been following the Chinese team with unclear intentions, they could still serve as witnesses to the events in question.
The testimony of the American team would greatly assist the Chinese team as they cannot provide first-hand evidence on their own behalf. The existence of impartial witnesses would make it easier for the Chinese team to present their case.
"Let's contact the American team," Ye Bo exclaimed with excitement.
After reaching out through their connections, Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian were disappointed to hear that the American team claimed not to have seen anything.
They stated that they did not witness the Japanese team robbing the Chinese team, nor did they see any attack from an octopus.
However, the American team made an offer, suggesting that if the Chinese team were to share half of their findings with them, they would be willing to provide testimony.
Despite their efforts, Ye Bo, Zhou Xixian, and the others were unable to cooperate with the American team as they had not acquired any valuable treasure.
However, just as they were feeling hopeless, a video suddenly emerged on the internet that lasted for several minutes and showed clear evidence.
The video was a direct and painful blow to the Japanese team, silencing their accusations. Meanwhile, netizens were left stunned by the video's contents.
"These Japanese people have no shame, acting so arrogantly."
"Scared of them? How embarrassing."
"It brings shame to the Chinese people."
"I can't say that, but it's still very unfair."
"What kind of monster is that?"
"A huge octopus, a massive octopus."
"The ship was destroyed in one hit."
"Killing a Japanese devil with one shot, that's so cool."
"Hahaha, what goes around comes around, even octopuses don't like them."
"This is such a relief."
"I love this octopus, great job."
"Wait a minute, is anyone else noticing how subversive this octopus is? Is there really such a giant octopus in the world, with enough power to destroy a ship in one hit?"
The Chinese netizens were abuzz with excitement as the video spread like wildfire.
The incident of the Japanese team bullying the Chinese team, followed by the appearance of the octopus monster destroying the Japanese team, was enough to garner widespread attention on its own.
But when combined, it became an even hotter topic of discussion. The entire Chinese population was infused with a burst of energy, fervently sharing the video in their social circles and chatting about it on the streets and in their homes.
The video did not only stir up excitement within China but also abroad, in countries like the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom.
People all over the world were discussing the incident with enthusiasm, learning not only about the audacity of the Japanese team but also getting a glimpse of the legendary octopus monster.
Some even went as far as to plan expeditions to capture the octopus for scientific research.
In Japan, the spread of the video caused embarrassment and added insult to injury, as the country was humiliated by the octopus monster and had nowhere to direct their anger.
As they watched the video, Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian felt a mixture of excitement and confusion. They were pleased with the outcome of the situation and the fact that it was being spread far and wide, but they couldn't help but question who could have captured the footage.
It couldn't have been anyone from their own team as everyone was on edge, facing guns and grappling with the decision of whether to surrender or resist. In such a high-stress situation, it would have been impossible for anyone to focus on filming.
Furthermore, the perspective of the video appeared to be taken from a distance, capturing a panoramic view that included not just the Chinese ship but also the Japanese ship.
This led Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian to wonder who could have captured this video and how it was filmed.
Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian initially considered the possibility of the American team being the ones who took the video, but they quickly dismissed the idea.
The American team was too far away and the direction they were facing was completely different, so it was not possible for them to have taken the video. Furthermore, based on their previous attitude, even if they had taken a video, they would not have released it so generously.
After ruling out the American team, there was no one else who could have taken the video. At that time, there were no bystanders in the sea. The appearance of the video was strange and mysterious, leaving Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian with more questions than answers.
"It seems like there's someone playing a hidden hand in all of this," Ye Bo said.
The sudden appearance of the octopus and its attack on the detestable Japanese team was too convenient and almost seemed too good to be true.
Not only did the octopus not harm the Chinese ships, but it was even captured on video and released at the perfect moment. All of these events were so synchronized, it was as if someone was orchestrating it all from behind the scenes.
"How is it possible, it feels as if this monster octopus was instructed by someone, how could this monster octopus listen to anyone's orders, it must be a coincidence, it's more likely that a ship happened to pass by and we just didn't notice it." Zhou Xixian said.
"That's right, how could the monster octopus be ordered by someone?" Zhou Xixian's doubt was shared by Ye Bo. The idea of the octopus being controlled by someone seemed far-fetched and implausible.
The monster octopus was a formidable creature that lived in the vast and unpredictable ocean. The idea of it being able to follow orders from someone was difficult for them to grasp.
