"Ministers of the Imperial Cabinet and Distinguished Members of Parliament......

In the council hall, the voice of the black-haired wizard echoed, as calm as ever:

"I have submitted sufficient evidence to the Lord Chancellor before this royal trial, on the contrary, all the evidence that the Charn family and the Holy Cross Church can provide is circumstantial evidence, and nothing can directly prove that Lussac Corvo is the murderer of Siscott Charn!"

"In fact, not only has Master Lussac himself been trying to deny his murderous deeds, but the evidence I have provided is enough to show that Master Siscott Charn's potion recipe has stood up to scrutiny, and none of them can achieve lethal results. ”

"That's right... Not even for a sixty-seven-year-old man to die;

Victor Theseus frowned slightly, and the face of the church inquisitor was directly difficult to see.

At the foot of the steps, several old men in the seats of the Charn family stared at the black-haired wizard with their hands behind their backs, as if they wanted to pounce directly on him and break him into pieces.

"Dissent!"

Weber, the little priest who got up unhurriedly, had a solemn expression, and his tight hands were obviously tense to the extreme: "First of all, Lussac Corvo is Lord Siscott's personal physician, and the fact that he is not guilty is nonsense. ”

"Secondly, Lussac Corvo is the premier master of apothecary in the imperial capital and even in the whole empire, and he is also the top physician... For such a potion master, the slightest trick on the formula list will not be noticed by others, let alone dare to raise objections - the so-called formula is likely to be a prevarication for preparing for the aftermath!"

"I don't know anything about alchemy, Lord Loren Turin, but I know a little. ”

Loren, who was slightly sideways, saw the little priest's gaze shooting straight towards him, and the corners of his eyes revealed a touch of seriousness: "Even a small amount of medicine can have an effect on the body, but it is not easy to be detected!"

"So what, does any of the potions on the recipe match the poison that poisoned Lord Scott Charn?" Loren snorted, slightly curling the corners of his mouth:

"IMHO... It's not a match, but there's no resemblance, right?!"

"Not only that, but as I just said, you have not come up with anything that can objectively prove that 'Lussac Corvo is the murderer of Siscott Charn', nor have you provided any reason why Lussac had to poison Siscott, it is only a very pure subjective assumption from beginning to end!"

"The only thing that can be said in this case is that Lussac Corvo, as Siscott Charn's personal physician, has the most basic conditions to commit a crime...... That is, the only clue that can explain that 'Lussac is suspected of murder'. ”

"That's all. In the silent hall, Loren's voice became more and more sarcastic: "This alone... The Empire's top potion master will be treated as a heinous prisoner and imprisoned in a prison for death row prisoners!"

"On what basis is it concluded that he poisoned the potion prepared for Heath Charn?, and on what basis is he the murderer?!"

Under the continuous questioning, the little priest who did not change his face clenched his fists.

"Nothing, no evidence...... Loren's gaze swept directly to the church judge sitting on the stage, and said word by word:

"It's just not clear when it started...... Half of the imperial capital is rumored to be the real murderer of Lussack Kovo, and the hills of Golovin are full of righteous people shouting 'justice'!"

Church Inquisitor Tellus Lufu gritted his teeth, and his face turned purple as it was hard to see.

"Bell ——!"

With a uniform sound, the royal guards in the council chamber tapped the floor with their halberds.

"Bell ——! Bell ——! Bell ——!"

A piercing and loud noise made the hall instantly silent.

"Silence. ”

Victor Theseus, who was sitting on the throne, raised his right hand quietly, and glanced at the black-haired wizard who had become the focus of everyone's attention with his cold eyes:

"I would like to begin by refuting two fallacies of Viscount Loren: firstly, the evidence provided by the Charne family and the Church of the Holy Cross cannot be regarded as 'purely subjective', and contrary to what you say, the testimony of the family of the deceased can be used as first-hand evidence. ”

"Secondly, although it is not recorded in the Code, the interrogation practice of Sackland is that the 'most suspicious and motivated' person is the suspect, and it may not make sense as you say, but it is one of the customs of Sackland, and customary law is also a kind of natural law, and can be cited!"

Victor's voice fell.

The black-haired wizard didn't retort, and bowed slightly to the Imperial Justice with a formulaic smile.

He had already guessed that this Imperial Justice would not easily favor one over the other... Before making a final decision.

The atmosphere in the council chamber eased slightly, and Victor turned his gaze to the little priest Weber, and his calm voice did not show any emotion: "Is there anything that the church needs to explain about Lussac's motives and suspicions?"

The hall was silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were once again on the little priest.

"Allow me first to elaborate on the suspicions of His Excellency Lusac Covo. The polite Weber bowed to Victor with a serious expression: "First of all, the evidence provided earlier shows that before Lord Siscott Charn was killed, Lussac Charn was his personal physician. ”

"We have asked the members and servants of the Charn family, and Lord Siscott Charn is very old, and although he is still in good health, he is still very careful, and almost all his medicines, and even his normal daily food and drink, have to be closely checked and arranged by Lussac Covo. ”

"It can be said that... Anything that Lord Siscott ingests every day is under the watchful eye of Lussac Corvo - in such a situation, he is still to blame for Siscott's poisoning and death, even if it were not for Lusak's own actions!"

Feeling the pressure coming from behind, the little priest breathed lightly: "Because of this, in this case, Siscott Charn died of poisoning, so there is no need to say more, Lussac Corvo himself is the most suspicious ......"

"Lusac Kovo himself is the most suspicious...... That's right! It's this kind of presumptuous quibbling that has forced one of the Empire's top pharmacy masters to go to prison!"

The black-haired wizard coldly interrupted the little priest: "Ridiculous... Ridiculous!"

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the little priest Weber's cheeks tensed.

"Lord Weber, you just mentioned that you don't know much about alchemy... Indeed, the testimony you have just given is a perfect proof of this. Loren continued: "I will not mention the low level of poison ingestion in addition to normal oral intake, as well as air and skin intake. ”

"The Charn family is a very large family, and although Lussac Corvo is Siscott's personal physician, he is not by his side all the time every day, how can we ensure that all his intakes are under the close supervision of Lussac Corvo himself?"

"This, of course, can't be ...... all the time" The little priest frowned slightly, his expression a little nervous: "But as a personal physician, Lussac Corvo will definitely have some advice to Master Siscott in this regard, and there is a clear plan for implementation......"

"In other words!"

Loren hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and put his hands on the table with a "bang——!": "The Holy Cross Church also admitted... There is such a recipe for potions... It's not just nonsense, as you said before, right?"

"If yes... Then the evidence I submitted earlier has shown that none of the formulations match the drugs that poison Siscott is going to match......"

"If not... Then the so-called 'evidence' just explained by His Excellency Weber is a bunch of nonsense and a mere framing——!"

The Minister of the Seals, who was sitting next to Victor, narrowed his eyes with a very subtle expression.

The little priest's face was pale and a little anxious: "But, but ......"

"But what, are you going to refute the evidence you just presented?!" Loren's voice echoed through the hall: "Or is this testimony of the Charn family purely fictitious, and someone ...... it in order to frame Lussac Kovo?"

"His Excellency Loren Turin——!"

Victor's voice sounded again, and he said coldly, "You... It's too much. ”

After a moment of silence, Loren, who smiled softly, put his hands behind his back and turned to sit back in his seat.

The Imperial Justice pressed the handrail unhurriedly and slowly got up:

"What's next... Please call witnesses on both sides!"
