The Grim Reaper used to be human beings, many of them committed heinous crimes in the human world, and they were discovered by the Captain of the Grim Reaper (or the captain of the bribe) to change the status of the prosecution and defense, and their degree of infatuation with the world is by no means lower than that of you and me, so the Grim Reaper 1084 can't hold on to the amorous wine-colored offensive of the Jiyue Girl, and hurriedly said: "Why aren't you friends?" At the same time, the end of the world has fallen into people, why should we have known each other when we meet? I'll tell you, our system shows that Saturn is at opposition to the moon today, the day is at the end of the year, and it's fierce, this morning's."

Death hesitated for a moment, and Natasha said, "The death bell is ringing, isn't it?" It was the ultrasound emitted by the insects in the area, and your researchers found that it could predict blood, so they included it in the scope of monitoring, no wonder when I first arrived here, I was also flustered, in fact, it was the influence of sound waves and unconsciously John, who has a deep study of the background sound field of nature. Lian Nong went to the world to play once, and he also named the band 'Beetle', your captain is really humorous. ”

Grim Reaper 1084 said in astonishment: "The little sister must come from a very prominent background, and even knows about it, but he likes music, so he naturally wants to be romantic." ”

The Moon Maiden picked up the Louis XIII Gang Grim Reaper 1084 and filled it with him, and let him swallow it intoxicated, saying, "That is only an omen, will you not find out what is going to happen?" Isn't your multi-channel data synthesis strong in terms of analytics? ”

Lotte is really more and more convinced of these two Shu, not only knowledgeable, but also offensive and defensive, heavy clichés, how can Death 1084 parry.

The Grim Reaper "drank" some wine, forgot his identity and mission, and said, "Of course, of course, didn't something happen in Las Vegas a while ago?" The captain is very nervous, and I have to cheer up."

Lotte and the others looked at each other, and they were all excited, because even the machine moon girl did not dare to guarantee that her "compass" could find Lin Bing, but if something related to Las Vegas really happened today, it would probably be related to Lin Bing.

In fact, since the three of them left the Jinsha Hotel, they are not very confident, Lotte is holding the idea of seeing one step at a time, after all, Hussein's spiritual power is obvious to all, not Lotte can deal with it, and he also hopes that he can play a role as an outpost reconnaissance before the support personnel of the Renxin Society arrive. But the people of the Renxin Society never appeared.

Could it be that the tracking is wrong? If Renxin would have a better clue, of course they would give up the weak clue of Lotte, and what makes Lotte even more strange is that the new generation of elites of the dignified Orange family and the Zodiac Purple Mansion also follow this identity and compare with them, just like a beggar's kid messing around, risking death to track, and the people of their two families don't seem to have any intention of supporting.

There is a very good explanation for all of the above: he is on a fork in the road. Therefore, there is no danger waiting for them.

However, the appearance of Death 1084 has greatly increased his confidence, and it seems that the Moon Girl really has a bit of a god talent, and she has calculated the same position that the Death Uncles detected: New York's Chinatown.

With a "rump", the teapot slammed on the table, and the waiter was venting his dissatisfaction.

Although Lotte and the other three were big customers, they ordered a large table of dishes and even ordered Louis XIII, but more importantly, they didn't eat much, and only piled up the food and wine in front of an empty seat, and sat from noon to more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

However, no matter how big the guest is, it is also the owner's benefit, and it has nothing to do with the waiter. So he slammed the pot of tea on the table to remind Lotte that they might be "poisoned" next time.

Of course, Lotte knows the psychology of this waiter brother, and he also apologized for a while, originally they thought that the storm was coming, and they all tensed their spirits, and waited until now, it is indeed "time like an arrow", and it is time to close, Lotte thought: "If the Grim Reaper is right, this kid is likely to be killed on the spot after a while, why not make him happy now?" Lotte has been in the soul world for a long time, and has gradually accepted the idea that the "mandate of heaven" cannot be violated.

Lotte took out a 100-dollar bill and said, "Tip, take it first!" Suddenly the waiter in this Chinese restaurant was like seeing her parents, and the girl was even more understanding, and took out a few hundred-yuan bills and said, "There are still a few people who haven't gotten off work, let's get some tips first!" ”

The dollar bills ended up going to waste, and nothing happened all afternoon.

Lotte couldn't sit still any longer, it was almost dinner time, and there were less than 20 hours left before Xiang Sheng's 24-hour deadline, and at this time, he received the news that Xiang Sheng had filed an appeal, and at the same time, the council ignored the normal working hours and procedures, and immediately announced the opening of the trial, as if he wanted to make things a sure thing sooner, these abnormal actions made people even less convinced that Xiang Sheng would get a fair trial.

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

Xiang Sheng received a lot of information on the way to the guild headquarters:

Lotte: "Brother! There is still time, don't be in a hurry, it is more advantageous to wait for more people to pay attention. ”

Red Lion: "I'll wait for you outside the headquarters, if there's anything going on, I'll take it!" Come on! ”

Yinji: "Xiangsheng, we have other choices, we won't give up on you!" Did you remember the address you gave last time? ”

Lotte: "Red Lion said it would pick you up, I'm in New York, I'm ready to do anything!" ”

Aquila: "Bright Moon informed me!" It's all up to her! ”

Skylark: "Xiang Sheng! You're in luck! If Mingyue helps you, it will definitely be fine, be careful! ”

Red Lion: "Hey, hey! Attaboy! We've got it! It turned out to be prepared! I'm still waiting for you outside the headquarters, and we'll go for a drink when we're done! ”

Ginhime: "Good luck! We'll all be waiting for you! ”

Rakuten: "It turned out to be a preemptive strike!" He is worthy of being a chess master, not to mention! I'm going to fight hard! ”

Xiang Sheng met at the gate of the guild headquarters Vice President Mingyue of White Horse Academy, Xiang Sheng nodded slightly to Mingyue, Mingyue also smiled, and the two entered the conference room where Xiang Sheng's appeal was deliberated.

To everyone's surprise, Xiang Sheng did not nominate someone he was familiar with, let alone "his own people" like Aquila and Atari, but under the repeated verification of the guild council, he nominated Director Zhou as the only judge of this appeal.

Not only that, but in fact, Xiang Sheng is the proposer of this trial time, and there is only an hour gap between the appeal and the trial, so when outsiders feel that there is only one judge in the trial, and this judge is the most hostile judge, and there is no room for preparation in the court time, they will definitely think that the association has deprived Xiang Sheng of the opportunity for a fair trial.

But in fact, all this was proposed to Xiangsheng.

Zhou Li asked Xiang Sheng to issue a proposal in advance, and then he readily accepted it.

When asked why Xiang Sheng did this, Xiang Sheng would say, "My evidence is too overwhelming, and it is impossible for them to overturn my appeal under any circumstances." I'm going to beat that judge to my face. ”

Someone commented on the Internet afterwards: "If Xiang Sheng gave up fighting for favorable conditions, then it would be better to ask him even if he won it, what difference would it make?" What is the substantive difference between a 24-hour deadline and a 5-hour trial? Even if he nominated two teachers from the public school, how much power did the two of them have in the face of a huge independent committee of eight people, and if you only proposed that the Aquila Guild alone would not agree, so he proposed that Director Zhou be the judge alone, all of this is to highlight how invincible the guild's original appeal was, which is also the opposite of Xiang Sheng's statement, isn't it a great irony? ”

Some netizens also said: "He wants to set the environment so that there is no turning back, so that he will not regret it, let alone affect others." ”

Director Zhou was a little surprised to see Mingyue's arrival, this kind of accident was definitely something that a soul master of his level should not have.

Immediately, his "accident" turned into anger.

He coldly let Xiang Sheng and the others sit on the appeal seat.

In addition to these three people, there were only two court officers and one secretary in the conference room.

Zhou Li spoke in advance: "Xiang Sheng, I hope you know what you are doing, and the Council will generally try to meet the appellant's request, but is the time too short now?" As for the presiding judge, if you change your mind now, I will consider it! ”

Changed into a Dior men's close-fitting suit, and the sound of combing his hair back looked extremely gentle, and he was calm like a lawyer rather than a client. His tone was even calmer than that of a bank clerk: "Mr. Governor, I have no objections, I can start." ”

Director Zhou had no choice but to announce the opening of the trial. Director Zhou re-read out the decision of the council, and then announced that time to make a statement was given as the first procedure for Xiang Sheng's appeal, at this time, Mingyue asked to speak, and Director Zhou approved, Mingyue straightened her shirt and said: "According to the interpretation of the notice of the council's decision, Xiang Sheng has not committed any criminal offense?" "This is a question for Director Zhou.

This set of procedures in the Guild is different from that of the secular courts, whether at common law or civil law, in which the roles of the prosecutor and the judge are separated. However, the guild does not have a dedicated judge, let alone a so-called checks and balances between the trial and the prosecution. The Council of the Guild is not a government, it is not necessary to guarantee democracy and freedom in the form of separation of powers, the Council is only a union, and the Council is only the "coordinator" of this alliance, and the composition of the Council must be approved by the members, so the Council is sure to reflect the will of the (majority) of the members. In this case, the decision of the Council is in fact a compromise of various forces, and naturally there is no need for any separation of powers, and the presiding officer of the appeal can bring in members other than the Council, which is also to ensure that the decision of the Council does not deviate from the facts, ethics and, most importantly, the will of the majority of the people.

Therefore, as a member of Xiang Sheng's side, Mingyue can ask questions to the presiding judge, just like a lawyer asks witnesses.

Director Zhou had no choice but to answer truthfully: "His actions did not touch the criminal offense." ”

Mingyue asked again: "In addition to public schools, are other colleges qualified to give Xiangsheng status?" Director Zhou narrowed his eyes and said, "Vice Principal Mingyue, there are some things you still have to think about clearly" He had expected how Mingyue would make trouble, but he was still very calm, as if Mingyue would definitely listen to his advice.

Mingyue insisted on asking, "Director Zhou, you haven't answered my question yet." ”

Director Zhou sneered and said, "The guild does not set admission rules for any member colleges. ”

Mingyue said: "Director Zhou, my third question is that if Xiang Sheng gets a student status, he will not be 'erased' from memory, right?" ”

Director Zhou's face was already a little ugly, and he said, "Mingyue, are you crazy?" Didn't Raphael explain it to you clearly? ”

Mingyue insisted: "Director Zhou, you haven't answered my question yet. ”

Director Zhou said with a dark face: "Yes! Even if it is! You can't change the decision of the council, we are not a court, our decision is the result of compromise in all aspects, even if this notice is worth appealing, we still have the next notice, you White Horse Academy want to stand up for him? Have you assessed your strength beforehand? ”
