Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and on March 25, the Springfield District Court officially opened the trial of Amis's murder. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Defending Li Mu and Ford Benjamin was Grover Cleveland of the Buffalo Law Firm in New York.

Grover Cleveland is the leader of Henry's new team of lawyers for Horse Investments, an 1837-born New Jersey native in the prime of his life.

Grover Cleveland is a legend in American history, the first Democratic president elected after the Civil War, in 1885 and 1893, and the only president to leave the White House and be re-elected four years later.

Well, it seems that Li Mu and all the people who travel through it are a problem: celebrity collectors, but Li Mu's compulsion is a bit high, and he collects the president of the United States.

Not surprisingly, the chief justice was Richard Wesley, and Amos appeared as the prosecution's lawyer, along with a jury of 20 people, who were randomly selected by Amos himself from among the nearly 30,000 citizens of Springfield.

Amos knows how powerful Li Mu is in Springfield now, if it is according to the normal procedure, the jury members will all be Li Mu's people, then this case does not need to be tried, random selection is the best way to ensure justice that Amos can think of.

It's a pity that what Amos didn't know was that the list of jury members had been placed on Li Mu's desk on the evening of the 24th, so all the police officers in Springfield were busy all night, and by the morning of the 25th, all the jury members had a check from the Mobile Credit Company in their pockets, and if they cooperated, then the check could be cashed smoothly, and if they did not cooperate, then it would become evidence in court.

Li Mu sat in the dock as the defendant, with two police officers standing behind him, Bresta on the left and Chad on the right, and the Springfield Police Department made their position clear in this way.

For this, there was a small episode before the trial, this is the court, and the bailiffs should be used, but Bresta and Chad stared at the two bailiffs who were originally standing behind Li Mu for a minute, and the two bailiffs were speechless, and then one suddenly fainted, and the other couldn't stand up with diarrhea, so Bresta and Chad successfully took the position.

After Li Mu sat down in the dock, he didn't look at Amos who was staring at him at all, and casually glanced at the auditorium, Li Mu found many acquaintances, Ryan Matthew, Lawrence, Larry Reed, Rowan Houston and other Springfield leaders were all present, and there were still Chu Xue, Gloria and Sandy sitting in the corner, when Li Mu noticed this, Chu Xue and Gloria could still stay calm, but Sandy jumped up and waved happily to greet Li Mu.

This simply made Li Mu laugh, it was not an honorable thing to sit here, why were you so happy?

There were still a few people I didn't know, and in the middle of the front row of the auditorium, there sat several strangers in military uniforms, the kind with their military ranks removed, all three of whom were in the prime of life, the first with sparse hair, and the beard on the lips was very distinctively trimmed, and the ends were slightly upturned, and a beautiful curve was bent on the cheeks, which looked similar to the clowns in the circus.

The second person has a thin build, a Mediterranean hairstyle, and a lush beard on his face, especially his chin, so that the whole face looks relatively long.

The third person's hair was combed very neatly, and the clothes on his body were elegant, but he was a little cynical sitting there, and when Li Mu saw him, this guy actually happily gave Li Mu a middle finger, which made Li Mu simply angry.

Without being reminded, Li Mu already knew who these people were, and if Li Mu guessed correctly, these people should be George Dewey, Alfred Thayer Mahan, and Benjamin Harrison.

Li Mu guessed correctly, according to the order of the Ministry of War, these people should have met Li Mu in New York on April 1, but I don't know what happened in the middle, these people actually came to Springfield in advance, and just in time for this good show, which made Li Mu a little annoyed.

Li Mu doesn't want to know these people as a defendant, it's too embarrassing!

Strictly speaking, these people are Li Mu's assistants, and after arriving in Cuba, these people will be Li Mu's right-hand men, and Li Mu needs to maintain authority in front of them.

Fortunately, Li Mu is the defendant in the court, but they sit in the audience proudly, which will definitely affect Li Mu's first impression on them.

It's not good to be a teacher!

Li Mu thought about his own business, and didn't notice the debate going on in the courtroom, and when Li Mu came back to his senses, he found that Amos was standing in front of him angrily.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Li Mu subconsciously asked,

Good question!

Immediately there was a loud laugh in the otherwise solemn courtroom, especially Benjamin Harrison, who slapped the railing in front of him while laughing, and shouted, "Whahahahaha--interesting guy, I like you Rim-"

This, Li Mu was even more embarrassed in an instant, this is the court, don't say it here if you like it-

"Look, Judge, this is Mr. Reem's attitude, he is showing contempt for the court, disrespect for the judge, for the prosecution and defense, for all the jury members, for all the members of the scene-" Amos was eloquent, and instantly gave Li Mu a big hat.

"So, are you going to recommend that Your Excellency Judge expel me from the courtroom?" Li Mu interrupted Amos's talking.

The courtroom that had just quieted down was boiling again, and this time almost everyone was laughing back and forth, I had seen a scoundrel, I had never seen such a shameless person, and I kicked you out, your current identity is the defendant, and the case of kicking you out is still a fart-

As a judge, Richard Wesley wanted to maintain order in the courtroom, so Richard Wesley struck the gavel several times in a row, and the courtroom was quiet.

"Mr. Ream, please answer Mr. Amos's question." Richard Wesley asked Li Mu to cooperate.

Li Mu nodded and looked at Amos without saying a word.

"Mr. Ream, please answer Mr. Amos's question—" Richard Wesley emphasized again.

"Mr. Judge, I'm waiting for Mr. Amos to ask a question—" Li Mu looked innocent.

I don't know why the laughter of Americans is so low these days, as soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the courtroom burst into laughter again, even the jury laughed, and a strong man about forty years old whistled, and the courtroom was as lively as a vegetable market.

Li Mu spread his hands and said that he was innocent, this time Li Mu really didn't want to make trouble, Li Mu really didn't hear Amos's question clearly just now.

Richard Wesley rang the gavel and asked Amos, "Please repeat your question, Mr. Amos. ”

Amos gritted his teeth and stood in front of Li Mu again: "Mr. Ream, on the afternoon of February 20th, did you go to Mr. Ford Benjamin's ward?" ”

"February 20th, it's been more than a month ago, I can't remember-" Li Mu was a little confused, but his intuition told Li Mu that he must play stupid.

"Let me remind you, then, that on the afternoon of the twentieth of February, you went to Mr. Ford Benjamin's ward, and asked Mr. Ford Benjamin to dispose of Mr. Amis's family, and now—do you remember?" Amos snapped.

"Objection, Mr. Amos, are you making up stories? Mr. Ream is not sure if he was there that day, after all, so much time has passed, and if I ask you where you went on the afternoon of the 22nd, I don't think you can answer, that day Mr. Ream and Ford Benjamin were both wounded, and according to you, Mr. Ream, who was seriously wounded, asked another seriously wounded man to kill - no, to dispose of Mr. Mayor's family, my God, Mr. Amos, I don't know what a Mr. Mayor means in your concept, Is it an expired commodity to be disposed of in the wet market? Before Li Mu could speak, Grover Cleveland cut him off.

"Maybe that's what Mr. Ream thinks, and it doesn't matter if Mr. Ream doesn't admit it, I have witnesses who can prove that Mr. Ream said something like that." Amos was confident, and he was not afraid of Li Mu's denial.

"What about your witnesses?" Li Mu looked at the witness stand, which was empty.

Li Mu is more confident, and Amos still doesn't know that his secretary has been bought by Li Mu, so Amos's so-called hole cards are not a secret to Li Mu.

"In order to ensure the safety of witnesses, so my witnesses can not appear in court." Amos's explanation sounds very reasonable, with Li Mu's power in Springfield, who dares to testify that he is impatient, and even the mayor was killed by Li Mu, others can imagine.

"Well, if you say so, I have a hundred witnesses who can prove that I did not say anything like that, and even I have a thousand witnesses who can prove that I never went to Mr. Ford Benjamin's ward, is that what you mean by justice? Perhaps you haven't noticed that your current attitude is in itself a distrust of the court. Li Mu fought back very sharply.

"You need not quibble, Mr. Ream, I have applied to the judge that my witnesses may not appear in court." Amos didn't want to waste time here with Li Mu.

"Yes—" Li Mu smiled and lowered his eyes, not looking at Richard Wesley.

"Mr. Amos, please have your witnesses in court." Richard Wesley finally spoke.

"Your Excellency—" Amos looked at Richard Wesley with shock in his eyes, and two seconds later, Amos suddenly looked back at Li Mu with anger in his eyes.

"Mr. Amos, please let your witnesses appear in court, the court can guarantee the safety of the witnesses." Richard Wesley insisted.

Looking at Richard Wesley's apologetic eyes, and then at Li Mu who was smiling with his eyes down, Amos suddenly felt lonely.

Yes, it was loneliness, and in this courtroom, which represented fairness and justice, Amos suddenly felt extremely lonely.

Loneliness bordering on despair.
