Chapter 66: The Most Efficient Trial
Ian IV is not the only nobleman who comes to the Supreme Court today. In the crowd gathered around the gate, Ian saw people from other families. The square in front of the Supreme Court is so crowded that anyone wants to get first-hand information.
This Supreme Court hearing was the most efficient and controversial. Ordinary criminal cases take more than two months to go through the litigation process, but this time, it only took three weeks.
The plaintiffs are the Kewei Group and the defendants are Isha Schell and Heita.
The lawsuit was against the mage, and it didn't even have anything to do with Brummere Shear, and there was not a word in the lawsuit in Cowi City that mentioned Dragon City.
So when Ian walked into the Supreme Court, he was not surprised to see the figure in a wheelchair with a black cloth covering his face. This hidden "nine stars" of Kewei Group shrank inconspicuously among the entourage of Kewei Group, inconspicuous.
The leader of the Covey Group is a member of the so-called Committee of Nine, Roz Descartes, who is responsible for the financing of the city of Cove.
He was chatting with the members of the Fettir family at this time, and when he saw Ian IV entering with someone, his eyes quickly drifted over, and the conversation came to an abrupt end.
It's Isha and Heita who sue them, but it's always this new hairy boy who comes out. The people of Covey whispered in Kars's ear, the black cloth deflecting in Ian's direction, frowning slightly.
Ian IV smiled at everyone, and the sandalwood velvet gown flashed with a golden rim and floated in everyone's eyes without stopping for a moment. He was followed by the brawny man Brummeier, with his three retinue, and the mage among them glanced at the people of the Kowei Group with a look of obvious disgust on his face.
Originally, Kewei City and Heita, one in the north and the other in the east, if it weren't for this trial, I'm afraid the two parties would basically not have met each other.
Although in many cities, the two sides have been at loggerheads for many years.
Kars bowed his head and ordered his men, who immediately ran to Roz's side and tugged at the corners of his clothes, just to stop his momentum. Before he could say these words, Roz listened to his subordinates, glanced in the direction where Kars was, and finally did nothing.
The people of the Fettir family on the side saw everything in their eyes, but their expressions were calm and silent. He didn't bring any important people with him, and he was alone in the Kewei Group, so no one paid attention to what he did.
With the entry of the Kewei Group and Ian IV, people behind him, including Linda and Brummeier, also entered one after another.
Ken had already entered through the back door and had gone to contact Isha in advance. Both of them were people who were familiar with the laws of the Manda Kingdom, and they did not have a hard time communicating.
The Ian family took their seats, the Kowi Group and the Fittier family sat on the other side, and the rest sat behind them. Immediately after, just after the trial time, two guards sat in the defendant's dock with two old men who were over the age of six, and they all looked a little wooden, bowed their heads, and did not say a word.
"His parents were quite old, but I remember Holder was quite young. "The Iinto people have checked all the information and know it by heart.
"I was born late. Oleg casually rested his hands, no one here could beat him, although the House of Lords had been heightened by his arrival.
"Young master, young master...... Sister Isha is coming out. Pamulissa cowered behind Ian and poked her head out to look at the passage across from the women.
"What do they think if they knew that their son was killed by their own people?" Ian whispered to Oleg.
"Be quiet, Hudruman. Oleg was dismissive: "Maybe someone else already knew." ”
Ian looked at Holder's parents again, their faces without the slightest expression, like two bronze statues.
When I was the king of soldiers in the dragon group in my last life, I didn't see such pickled things. Especially those in poor areas, many times they have no will of their own and are just puppets at the mercy of others.
Just as he was thinking wildly, there was also the sound of footsteps in the dock on the other side.
Isha Sher, even without high heels, stepped out of an unusual momentum. She thuded the wooden door open, her long blonde hair piercing everyone's eyes, and she looked around, quickly locking on Ian and her father in the audience. Immediately afterward, when he saw Oleg again, a smile quickly appeared on his somewhat pale face.
Oleg's strength, she is clear, with him, Young Master Ian should have no problem.
Ken stayed by her side and sat in the dock. The Supreme Court did not restrict her movements, because until now, Isha was only a suspect and had not been convicted of murder.
But if it can be proved that Isha did indeed use a spell to assassinate a high-ranking person in Cowi City, then the death penalty or death reprieves will definitely be carried out.
At that time, not only her family, but also Ian's panic and Heita's reputation will be implicated.
What will the Supreme Court answer to this trial?
"Do you know anyone on the jury?" Ian saw three rows of jurors dressed in different clothes sitting behind the plaintiff, a total of twelve.
"Some of them are mayors of towns and towns, and they are all from the House of Commons anyway. In order to ensure fairness, the jury of the Supreme Court changes almost every time, and it is very random. Oleg said in a low voice: "In the end, they will preside over a panic, and if there is a turnaround, then it is probably this." ”
"I don't think the people from the Black Tower have come yet. Ian glanced back and saw Kars sitting in the corner. The white face under the black cloth has no expression, like a robot that has lost power. But Ian could clearly see that those ears were moving.
"Silence!"
The figure of Lord Mohen soon appeared on the highest courtroom, and he recognized everyone present. Supreme Court trials have always been high-profile, but even he hasn't decided such a case for many years.
"The plaintiff presented the facts. ”
At the beginning of the trial, the lawyers next to the two elderly men wore crisp suits and began to tell the story of what happened that day in the city of Kewei. From their point of view, the spirit was disguised as a worker on the construction site, hiding by the pillar when Holder came to inspect and did not leave, and when Holder went up to the fourth floor, she removed her disguise, killed her with a spirit charm, and then fled.
Isha didn't seem to be listening to all of this at all, first waving at her father, then smiling at Ian, and then grimacing at Oleg. Ian could see Ken next to her sweating profusely, probably in a hurry, and Isha herself had no means to fight back.
Yes, because this is a trumped-up charge against Isha.
"I don't know, Your Excellency. After the plaintiff spoke, Isha only replied lightly: "I said it, I didn't use uncontrollable spirit spells, I didn't kill Holder, I don't know him at all." ”
"I asked Miss Isha to confirm three questions. The lawyer on the other side walked over and picked up a couple of large photos from the table. Ian saw that it was a girl in red overalls, and if she looked closely, she was somewhat similar to Isa.
Looking at this, Isa's pupils shrank, but her expression did not change.
"The person above, isn't it you?"
"Time, place. ”
"Four months ago, Kewei City, Heavy Industry Science and Technology Park. ”
A door number flashed in Ian's mind, and it was the place they had been, the place where there were clones underground.
"Yes. After a moment of silence, Isha finally acknowledged the fact.
Being able to get this photo shows that she was already under surveillance at that time. Even if she studied incognito in Kewei City, there were people who could find her unconsciously.
You know, before Ian III's accident, few people knew about her joining the Ian family.
"Next question. The lawyer didn't give Isha a chance at all: "Is this you?"
"Nope. Isha squeezed a sentence out between her teeth, "This is my spirit, which you know as the 'Gemini' spell." ”
"Then the third question. The lawyer elegantly motioned to the audience not to be surprised, like a qualified circus director, and pushed the picture in front of Isha: "Why do you want to use the 'Gemini' to infiltrate Mr. Holder's science and technology park and become an ordinary skilled worker? Who gave you the letter of recommendation, or rather, who made you pass our interview?"
"Yes, I admit, I got in on it. Isha didn't refute, and the other party was able to show that they knew everything about the situation: "But you don't have any evidence that I killed Holder." ”
"Then the next photo"
