"I declare that the first national tribunal of the Ottonian Empire, the final trial, begins." The small gavel fell, and at this moment, tens of millions of hearts in the Ostonian Empire flickered and beat like countless stardust in the interstellar sea.

The judge takes his seat.

The jury is seated.

High-level officials from the military department, the parliament, and the council and government department were all present.

Natasha stood on the high platform, her majestic gaze scanning around.

On the square after the snow, the crowd surrounded the trial scene in three layers and three layers outside, but the scene was not as noisy as imagined. Everyone seemed to be waiting for something, the intense feelings hidden in their hearts, suppressed in their throats, only those pairs of nervous, expectant eyes, and clenched fists, revealing their true thoughts.

The presiding judge cleared his throat to break the silence, "Ask both sides to make a final statement." ”

The left and right crowds automatically moved out of the way, and the two rows of councillors on the left dispersed, revealing Dean. The people on the right seem to be late, just looking at the faces of these people, it is difficult for everyone to blame them for being late.

The Su Feng team, the teenagers wearing unified military uniforms, are magnificent. However, they didn't walk fast, because Helan, who was walking in front, walked very slowly, and everyone stood on tiptoe to look, and they saw Tang Chuan in a wheelchair.

Everyone was still silent, silent, until Su Feng's small queue stood still, until Helan pushed Tang Chuan to the presentation seat on the high platform, and a clear and beautiful shout suddenly sounded in the crowd, "Tang Xiaochuan! ”

Someone was calling him.

Tang Chuan poked his head out of Helan's side, smiling and waving his hand at the corners of his mouth.

Under the warm winter sun, the young man's handsome eyebrows and eyes have been tormented by pain and turned weak and pale, only the spirit is still very strong, smiling, revealing cute little tiger teeth.

The atmosphere suddenly came to life, how silent and depressed everyone was just now, how loud the sound that broke out at this moment.

"Tang Xiaochuan, you have to be good!"

"For victory!"

"We've got your back! Come on! Come on!!! ”

"Justice will prevail!"

……

The sound of cheering and shouting is as turbulent as the waves of the sea. Many of them had seen the cruel truth over the Wujiang River with their own eyes, and they had seen Tang Chuan running for his life on the streets of Huajing, and they couldn't help but think about how malicious the world was to force them to this point.

From Su Feng fourteen years ago to Tang Chuan today, the two generations of captains are both soldiers who defend their families and the country, and they are the most lovely people, but they have been treated like this. I didn't know before, so forget it.

But now that they know, how can they remain silent?

If angry, then shout.

If you encounter an enemy, then fight hard.

The Ottoid Empire is a country established in the flames of the Ottos, and even if their citizens will be tempered with some fighting spirit in a long period of comfort, even if they will be swept away by various currents of thought, their arrogance is still there, and their blood is still there.

The Ottoid Empire will always protect those who will protect it, and will never forgive anyone - a traitor!

Anyone who wields a knife at his own people is a traitor!

Dean came to the stage with louder boos than the cheers he had just had, the crowd chanting "step down" and some even tried to throw rotten tomatoes and eggs at the parliament. At this point, public opinion has been seen at a glance, and the left and right sides are fundamentally polarized!

The high-level leaders of various departments sitting in a circle on the high platform did not know how many waves there were in their hearts, and this scene was rare in the long history of Oss. If today's verdict is unsatisfactory, then they have no doubt that this group of people who have been re-aroused will not hesitate to come to power and tear them apart!

What other nobles and commoners are there? What other strata are there?

And what about Tang Chuan? How could he be treated like this?

It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable!

The people on the high platform were terrified, but the surging sound did not care about this. Why is there such a miraculous polarization today? Why would an ordinary teenager who seems to have no background stand in such a position that determines history?

How can there be so many whys?

It's just that the vast majority of people, after understanding the truth of the matter, made what they thought was the right choice.

As Tang Chuan said at this moment, "Your Excellency, I think what I am about to say is clear enough. The murderer of Su Feng and the twenty-nine members of Su Feng's team is here, and I believe you can give me a fair verdict. ”

"I've also seen the video on the Kirijiang River. Although from a legal point of view, I do not approve of such a publication, but I recognize its authenticity. The judge looked at Tang Chuan, who looked calm, and couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in his heart, but as a judge, his personal feelings could never be the basis for his verdict, "However, that video did not clearly point out the real culprit, the court gave you plenty of time to explore Santa Suri to find evidence, now, what about your evidence?" ”

What about the evidence? This is also a point of concern for everyone.

Helan leaned over and whispered something to Tang Chuan. Then he straightened up, "Your Excellency, the most critical witness is still on the way. ”

The judge was stunned, and everyone looked at each other. Helan What is this doing? It's all at this juncture, and the witness hasn't arrived yet? Everyone was worried, and many people on the high platform did receive the news at this time.

Schofield received a block on the road, and it was still a question of whether he would be able to get by.

At this time, Dean suddenly spoke, "Your Excellency, even if the other party's witnesses have not come, I am just right, and I have something to say. ”

What kind of medicine is sold in this Dean's gourd? It is said that in the past two days, the faction led by Qin Zheng has begun to draft a bill on the parliament's disconfidence in Dean, and even if Dean escapes today, he will be impeached soon. The Twin Stars Summit has almost polished everyone's eyes, the general trend is the trend, and there are few people who can stand firmly on Dean's side now, except for those who know that they can't escape.

The judge pondered for a moment and nodded, "Speaker Dean, please." ”

As a result, Dean's first sentence made everyone's jaws drop.

"I'm guilty." Dean looked solemn.

There was an uproar all around, and there was surprise in the uproar, Dean was going to confess his guilt?! However, before the surprise could spread, Dean continued: "I chose to hide the truth from that year, and I am guilty of this. ”

Tang Chuan was still calm, but his eyes couldn't hide his edge, "So, the order to kill Su Feng was not given by you, you only found out later, but in order to protect the council, you chose to hide it, right?" And those who really gave the order have either died of illness, died of old age, or were killed by Shainin in the past ten years, right? ”

Dean didn't deny it, so he acquiesced, turned to Tang Chuan and bowed his head to apologize, "I'm sorry about the death of your parents. I didn't know that Schofield would get to this point. I think that Admiral He's strength in the military department has made him lose his mind. ”

Wait、What's going on? What are they talking about?

Everyone was stunned and couldn't understand, so, Dean is not guilty? At most, he's covering it up after the fact?!

A pair of surprised and stunned eyes looked at Dean, Tang Chuan clenched his fists, but he didn't laugh angrily - it was really seamless. But he already knew that Dean was such a leaky person, didn't he? When his own safety is at stake, he will not hesitate to abandon his allies. Even if you can't escape the conviction, then if you retreat into advance, the weight of the crime will be lightened immediately.

Cover-up is also a sin, but sin does not lead to death.

And what about Schofield? He's an outcast! Tang Chuan's parents were soldiers, and the order to kill them was indeed given from Schofield, what about Dean? He's not the mastermind, he just didn't have time to stop it!

Even if Schofield came here and went to court with him, but on both sides, who could say that Schofield was right? Will Schofield have conclusive evidence in his hands? Unfortunately, most people are worried.

It's high, it's really high.

The spectators on the high platform once again refreshed their perception of Dean, and the ordinary people in it may not understand the curves and corners, but they can see them clearly. Dean is saving his life, ruthless and decisive enough, tantamount to being reborn with a broken arm.

The attack in the distance is probably just doing everything to obey the destiny of heaven. It's good that Schofield is dead, but if he doesn't die, he won't necessarily be able to kill Dean with one blow.

However, a roar erupted from the crowd, and the earth was shattered. Someone rushed towards the high platform regardless of a single qiē, "You lie! You know everything, you must be behind it, right?! You're lying! ”

The security guard immediately stopped him, holding the gun tightly in his hand, and his nerves were tense to the extreme. At this time, someone from Su Feng's team had already rushed over with an arrow step, blocking between the two with his own body.

But before that calm voice could be spoken, the atmosphere climbed to a terrifying height.

"Impossible, I don't believe it!"

"Major General Helan, Tang Chuan! Refute him! ”

Many people have a hunch in their hearts, and what Dean said is not right, it is not like this! It's all come to this point, Su Feng's team has worked so hard, everyone is looking at it, is it just going to change to this ending? Not to mention Tang Chuan and Helan, even they can't accept it!

Tang Chuan also heard this cry, but the problem was that he had no evidence, really no evidence. Even if the remains of the mercenary were found in Saint-Suri, there were no fingerprints of Dean on them. He looked at Dean, "Unfortunately, I have no evidence to prove that what you said is wrong. ”

Everyone's hearts sank, but immediately after, Su Feng's team suddenly got out of the way. Tang Chuan put his hand on Helan's arm, "Help me up." ”

Helan held Tang Chuan's hand, felt the cold body temperature, and his heart sank, but he didn't stop it. He helped Tang Chuan up, and Tang Chuan didn't rely on him for half a point except for holding his hand, and slowly stood up with his slightly trembling legs, his eyes resolute.

Slowly, he got to his feet.

At least when it comes to facing Dean, he stands up to the sky and is worthy of his heart.

"Your Excellency, all of you here." Tang Chuan said loudly: "I really have no evidence to prove that his words are wrong, this is my incompetence, I admit it." But I believe that no crime can be covered up by absurdity because of the lack of evidence, and if one person lies, he must be rounded up with another lie, and has everyone forgotten what else happened after the explosion in Saint-Suri? ”

What else is going on? Roman stood in the crowd, pursed his lips, and quietly clenched his hands.

"A year after the explosion, His Highness Mullin, who had high hopes, died, and in just half a month after he learned the truth about Saint Suri, he was buried in the interstellar sea, leaving not even a single bone. Fourteen years later, the old story was brought up again, and not long after, the first king was poisoned and killed in the constitutional revision meeting, do you think these are all coincidences? ”

Tang Chuan's words seemed to penetrate everyone's chests and reach the heart. Bang - exploded.

"This ......" the judge was awe-struck in his heart, and before he could nod, someone had already walked under the escort of Su Feng's team to the high platform.

"Ah, it's Christopher!" Someone recognized the former parliamentarian with sharp eyes.

Christophe had already taken off his bloated down jacket and was wearing a well-dressed suit. The neckline is clean and tidy, the hair is also fixed with a hair mask, and the whole person is bright and energetic, just like when he first stepped into the Double Ridge Building.

He looked back and looked through the bustling crowd to see Evans. Evans had encouragement in his eyes, but he also struggled, and Christopher speculated that he might be hoping that he would be able to testify while worrying about Christopher's end.

Silly, huh.

Christopher stopped looking at him and turned to walk up to the high platform. The cacophony behind him was like background music, and the eyes cast around him were like spotlights, and this time, he was finally in the center of all eyes. Just as he had hoped for.

Going around and around, some things, when you are no longer attached, come instead.

He raised his eyes, looked at everyone, and slowly opened his mouth, "I am Christopher McCain, and I can testify that on the day of the Constituent Assembly, I was instructed by Speaker Dean to put the glass bottle containing autumn water wood into Congressman Evans's closet. ”

The scene boiled.

That's Akimizuki! The first king was poisoned by Qiu Shuimu! At this moment, Christopher took out a small bottle from his pocket, "This is the bottle of autumn wood." ”

Dean's eyes were slightly gloomy, and sure enough, Christophe was saved by Tang Chuan's side.

Tang Chuan asked, "Christopher, do you know why Dean asked you to do this?" ”

"I don't think I need to answer something so obvious."

"Then why did you finally take this bottle of autumn water wood away again?"

"Because ......," Christopher paused, a slightly sarcastic smile on his lips, "because Evans is an overly sympathetic and tasteless fool." ”

Evans in the crowd couldn't help but want to scold his mother, but many people didn't understand the true meaning of Christopher's words, but they really scolded. However, a thousand words are not enough to make Christopher have any restraint.

He still looked at the others from above, as if he had no remorse at all. He didn't want to pretend to be a good person in vain at the end, not to mention that he had really thought about putting Qiu Shuimu in the first place.

But why did you give up again?

Christopher doesn't know either, probably because Evans is an idiot.

"Silence! Quiet! The judge rang the gavel again, and the scene was silent.

He looked at Dean with a solemn expression, "Dean Abraham, is what Christopher said just now true?" ”

All eyes suddenly fell on Dean again, and Natasha also stood up from her position, staring at Dean with burning eyes.

Dean bowed his head, "Your Excellency, Your Highness the Princess, ladies and gentlemen, I don't agree with what Christopher said. But that's exactly the second thing I'm going to say. ”

And the second thing? The ups and downs of this development really made everyone's hearts go up and down, and at this moment they swallowed nervously one by one, not daring to go a little distracted, for fear of hearing something.

"Please." The judge's expression was solemn, Rao was used to seeing big scenes, but today, he was a little unbearable.

"Christopher didn't tell the whole story, I confess that I locked Christopher in the first place, and then I was so busy with the Constituent Assembly that I didn't look at it, so I let him escape. And the reason why I locked him up is very simple, because Joey, and I think many of you here don't know yet, that my only son, Joey, is now being held in the capital prison for attempting to murder Tang Chuan in Saint-Suri. ”

Bang - another bombshell.

Natasha's face turned pale, and she suddenly understood Dean's plan - Joey! He's trying to throw all the sewage on Joey! At the same time, some people on the high platform also reacted quickly, and the eyes that looked at Dean one by one had already turned into consternation. They couldn't have imagined that no matter how ruthless Dean was, he could be like this.

Even Howard narrowed his eyes slightly, but saw something unusual that no one else had noticed. Is there anything else going on between Dean and his son?

Natasha didn't hold her breath after all, and asked sharply: "Do you want to say that it was Joey who assassinated my father?" As my fiancé, what reason does he's have to do such a thing? ”

Dean sighed and asked rhetorically, "Is there really none?" Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Didn't you? Natasha was stunned, she saw the answer in the eyes of many people - how could it not be? As long as she kills her father, she will inherit the throne naturally, so what will Joey gain as her fiancé? Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

This qiē seems so reasonable, reasonable! How ridiculously plausible! Natasha never knew she would hate the word so much one day, and if she could, she would have wanted to go down and kill Dean right now!

"I know that Your Highness the Princess must not want to believe such a truth, but it is true, I wanted to stop Christopher, but I still failed. As I did fourteen years ago, I am guilty, I cannot deny it. ”

Under the high stage, Charlie was already dumbfounded, he didn't know that with them so victorious, Dean could still turn the tables around. After this remark, he poured all the dirty water on Joey!

"You fart!" Charlie couldn't help but curse.

Qin Hai glanced at Rhine beside him with a little worry, Rhine's eyes were terrifyingly deep at the moment, as if he was going to rush out and die with Dean in the next moment.

Natasha was on the verge of rage, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while, and at this moment, Tang Chuan spoke again: "This is the third case, everyone seems to have forgotten, and there is the second case that has been forgotten most completely - who is it, killing His Royal Highness Mu Lin." Since Speaker Dean confessed to Joey so clearly, it would be better for us to ask Joey to come out and confront him face to face. ”

As the words fell, a military vehicle came to an abrupt stop outside the square. Everyone looked back and saw the car door open, and that familiar face appeared in their sight.

It's Joey, he's really coming!

The crowd automatically split their way, and Joey walked through calmly, unaware of being a criminal. He has walked this road for a full fourteen years, and no one should be more relaxed than him.

He rubbed shoulders with Roman, ignoring Natasha's worried eyes, and just walked into his judgment arena step by step.

"Joey, do you have anything to say about your father's accusations?" The judge frowned and asked.

Nervousness, began to pervade.

Joey smiled, "I'll admit, I killed Mullin." ”

The words fell, and the entire trial scene was dead silent. In the winter, when all the birds are gone, this dead silence is like grabbing everyone's heart, and the pain is unbearable.

It's Joey...... Kill His Highness Mullin?

No way, they were friends at the time, he was only a teenager!

Natasha shook her head, her face was full of shock and panic, but her eyes were still staring at Joey, "Impossible, you sued me for this fake, he was outside at the time and you were still in Huajing, you couldn't have killed him!" ”

"What's impossible? Her Royal Highness the Princess. Joey shook his head as well, his tone steady, as if he was just telling a distant old story, "At that time, there was a problem with the ship's energy main valve, and the whole ship had to remain silent, without any magnetic field fluctuations. And I just made a phone call, do you know what happened later? Boom, the whole ship blew up. ”

Joey will never forget that summer afternoon, when Mullin went out on patrol, and he accepted Mullin's commission to host a tea party. During the intermission, an attendant came to tell him: His Highness Mullin has just called, and I hope you can take the time to call back.

It was a very ordinary afternoon, a very ordinary relay, and then Joey didn't think much of it, turned around and dialed the phone.

He didn't know what the ship was in, he didn't know what kind of life-and-death dilemma his only friend was facing, he just picked up his personal terminal and pressed that button very casually.

The sky was cloudless that day. Joey stood in the room quietly waiting for the phone to answer, and looked through the window to see the little princess playing with the ball outside. Little Natasha, dressed in a cute puffy dress with golden hair tied in a ponytail, turned her head to see Joey, hesitated for a moment, and then ran in with the ball in her arms.

She tilted her head and asked in a childish voice, "Brother Joey, do you know when my brother will come back?" ”

The phone was not answered, and it fell into a complete silence.

Joey, however, was attracted by little Natasha, and he looked at her and couldn't help but think of his brother. These are probably the only two little kids who don't disgust him, and for this reason, Joey is not stingy to show off his few tenderness.

He rubbed Natasha's head, "Your brother will be back soon." ”

"Really?" Natasha was happy, and the ponytail flicked as she jumped.

Joey smiled, "Well, really. ”

At this time, there was a shout outside, "Master Joy, everyone at the tea party is waiting for you, please come over as much as you can." ”

Joey left, thinking that after calling Mullin later, he would have to tell him about Natasha. Otherwise, he will always make fun of himself with Rhine, which is too much of a loss.

By the way, and in the first half of the tea party just now, the idea proposed by the female student was very interesting. If Mullin hears it, he must have taken her as a confidant again.

Joey smiled and stepped into the garden full of people talking about the ideal country. But he didn't know that in the interstellar sea, countless light years away, that ideal country had been shattered.

"Why?! Why are you suing us?! Angry and sorrowful, the question came from the depths of the soul, "Why did you kill him?" Aren't you friends?! When we talk about the ideal time for the future, you are also there! ”

That afternoon, the idealistic teenagers gathered together have now grown up. Some of them have been smoothed out by reality, and they no longer mention their ideals and ambitions, while others are still persistent. Then in this public trial court, I saw my original colleagues and questioned angrily.

"Why? Why kill him?! ”
