At 4:35 p.m., Liu Zhen sat down at the inquiry table.

The crime discussion session officially began, starting with a young prosecutor presenting the results of the on-site investigation of the Yuantuo Building, one after another photos of white wreckage and ruins were displayed on the display screen, followed by the red light piercing the night sky, the charred wreckage of a green helicopter, the debris of an air-to-ground missile falling in a residential area, etc., repeatedly emphasizing that such a strong attack caused panic and direct death among the citizens.

Then another defense lawyer appointed by the committee defended Liu Zhen instead, and the young prosecutor desperately raised the objection of nonsense and insufficient evidence, and even relied on the burns on Zhang Ruihai's whole body to say that this incident was Liu Zhen's torture and killing of Zhang Ruihai out of silence, which once caused a riot at the scene, and it was not until several heavy gavel strikes that it quieted down.

Liu Zhen always sat in the inquiry seat with his eyes closed, and occasionally pursed his lips and laughed when he heard absurd conclusions.

Then the defense lawyer began to speak, and he went through hundreds of difficult cases that Yoo Jin had handled in the past, and the young prosecutor retorted that Yoo Jin had received a huge amount of remuneration and that the two did not owe each other. After the old man knocked on the gavel, the prosecutor fell silent, and the defense lawyer carefully added that Liu Zhen had saved countless children long before the Yuantuo Building case, and took out the recordings of the testimony of several children, proving that there was indeed a big sister in a red sweater who saved them, and the child's immature voice caused laughter in the audience, and the judge interrupted the defense lawyer, saying that the children's testimony and the recording were not counted.

The fierce arguments between the two sides made the expressions on the faces of the audience look like they were watching a table tennis match, and it doesn't matter whether they are guilty or innocent, it depends on which side plays better.

At this time, the prosecutor pointed out that Yoo Zhen was trying to blur the focus and confuse the concept in response to the defense lawyer's arguments, and she wanted to use the emotional card instead of the facts to exonerate herself.

"Regarding Zhang Ruihai's matter, the orange heroic spirit that appeared today also proves that Liu Zhen's report is in line with the facts." The defense lawyer added calmly.

After all the bad cards are played, both sides are holding trump cards in their hands.

Ryu Zhen heard all these bits and pieces, although she didn't know very well, she unconsciously crossed her arms, folded her legs, and the red sweater, pleated skirt, tights, and boots as usual, all of which were not suitable for the inquiry meeting, but she was given special permission.

The old man in the center looked at the prosecutor, the prosecutor didn't say anything, and then asked Liu Zhen,

"Ms. Ryu Zhen, is the purpose of today's operation an orange spirit or an investigation of zombies?"

"Objection, irrelevant to this case." The defense lawyer stood up and said.

"Please answer, but the answer is not judged." The judge said.

"Zombies." Liu Zhen replied.

"In that case, why did your table mate launch the drone into the air, and why did he use his binoculars to look at the top of the tower when the zombies rushed ashore?"

"Objection, irrelevant to this case." The defense lawyer stood up and said.

"Your Excellency, this matter can be judged by the code of conduct of Liu Zhen and her at the same table, so as to analyze the case of Yuantuo Building."

"Please answer, but the answer is not judged." The judge said.

"He has completed the task of determining the zombie delivery channel, and it is naturally up to him to judge whether the secondary tasks will be carried out."

"Ridiculous," the prosecutor said, "it's clearly a curiosity about the Heroic Spirit."

"Please don't jump to conclusions." The judge said.

Liu Zhen didn't answer, just sat still. It was still a painless question, after all, it was not easy to show flaws, there was no need to repeat it, she turned her head down and played with the hair that fell on her shoulders.

As long as you endure and don't get angry, the scales of victory will be tilted in your favor.

"Now it's time to answer properly, Ms. Ryu Jin." The prosecutor smiled.

Liu Zhen didn't answer, and glanced at him coldly.

"I've heard that you have illegally summoned Heroic Spirits, is this true?"

"I have the right to remain silent under Article 6 of the Magical Envoys Convention." Liu Zhen replied quickly.

"It's useless to delay like this, Ms. Ryu Zhen," the prosecutor said, standing up, "Then let me change my question, may I ask the guardians of the city to protect the illegal heroic spirits, is this true?"

Liu Zhen frowned, if such a question remained silent any longer, it would only be mistaken for guilt by everyone.

"Against!" After a pause, the defense lawyer said, "The question is misleading."

"Opposition is valid." The judge said, "Prosecutor, be careful how you ask your questions."

"Yes," the prosecutor nodded, then held up a photo, "Ms. Yoo Jin, could you please answer what it is?"

"It's a sky-high purple sand."

"I ask you, can you make such a sandstorm?"

"I can't."

"The truth is," the prosecutor said as he stepped out of his seat, pacing in front of the hall and holding out a finger, "no magician in the city has such abilities, not even the registered Heroic Spirits." He then walked up to Ryu Zhen and asked, "Then I'd like to ask, Ms. Ryu Zhen, do you know the master of the wind and sand?"

"Why do you think it's artificial?"

"Please answer my question positively, yes or no."

"I have the right to remain silent under Article 6 of the Magical Envoys Convention."

After saying this, Liu Zhen bit his lip, there is no doubt that such silence is meaningless, and everyone present will conclude that "Liu Zhen, as a guardian, actually hides an illegal heroic spirit." Such a conclusion.

Unlike Wen Chenghe's self-crystallized Xiaozhu in the committee, Su Meng's summoning of Li He was a completely illegal act.

However, as long as she gritted her teeth, there was no legal basis for conviction.

"Ms. Ryu Zhen, is there anything else you want to say before I summon the final evidence?" The prosecutor smiled.

"Against! The problem is coercive."

"The objection is valid, prosecutor, please cherish your opportunity to ask questions."

"Okay, then," said the prosecutor with a grim face, "and that's when I have to call in key witnesses."

There was a sudden and unscrupulous commotion in the courtroom.

Witness?! Liu Zhen was shocked, could it be that he was betrayed by someone in the know?

The side door opened, and came a young man in glasses in a green jacket.

"Lin Yuan?" Liu Zhen bit her lip and was silent.

Obviously, he called in the afternoon, and Lin Yuan also said that once it is verified, this matter will be resolved privately by him and the committee, could it be that he sold her so quickly?

"Witnesses are invited." The defender, Lang Lang, said, as if he was eager to try the next performance.

Lin Yuan exchanged glances with the middle-aged man in the robe on the rostrum, and quickly avoided it and took a seat in the witness stand on Liu Zhen's side.

"Witness, your name, your age, your occupation?"

"Lin Yuan, 18, a senior at Meihua Middle School, is also a magician of the wood department."

"What is your relationship with the Guardian?"

"She and I were junior high school classmates, and we were also partners as magicians."

"Have you met with the Guardians lately?"

"Yes."

"Okay, let me ask you, does Yoo Zhen have an illegal Heroic Spirit?"

"Against!" The defense lawyer shouted.

"The objection is valid, please re-question."

"Lin Yuan, have you ever seen Liu Zhen's hidden heroic spirit?"

"Against! Misleading questions."

"Prosecutor, please ask another question, this is the last chance."

"Lin Yuan," the prosecutor said, taking a deep breath, "Have you seen any Heroic Spirits other than Orange Heroic Spirits this afternoon?"

In response to this question, the defense lawyer stood up and shouted that it had nothing to do with the facts of the case and that this question was meaningless.

But the whole audience showed a sense of interest in the issue. Most of them were curious, but there was nothing biased about the question, so the defense lawyer gritted his teeth and sat down.

Liu Zhen bit her lip and looked to the side, by now, she had been completely disappointed in this man.

If asked, although Li He is safe, but Shun Teng found out the existence of Xiaozhu, although the contract is not illegal, but after all, it is in the loop, no one can show evidence of Xiaozhu's self-crystallization in the committee, I'm afraid it won't be able to keep it, as for the stupid, let's just say that he was forced to summon it......

"I haven't seen it." Lin Yuan smiled and replied.

The room was in an uproar, and the prosecutor slammed the table, an answer that was clearly beyond his expectations.

Liu Zhen looked at her former boyfriend with surprise, what purpose did he go against his father's wishes? Did he have other plans? All in all, it was a good help for the.

The middle-aged man in the robe showed indifference, glanced at Lin Yuan, and got up to leave. The people in the audience in their robes left the arena with them.

"Any more questions for the witnesses?" The judge asked the prosecutor.

"No, no...... prosecutor wiped his sweat and sat back in his seat.

Lin Yuan was taken to the door, and when he left, he turned around and winked at Liu Zhen, which made Liu Zhen feel uncomfortable, clutching the cuffs of his sweater.

"It seems that this is the only way to go, Ms. Ryu Jin," the prosecutor said after a pause, "and then allow me to state a fact to you." Then he took a document and handed it to the judge.

The judge took his reading glasses and looked at them and announced, "Now please leave the venue for those with confidentiality rights below Class A."

The crowd in the audience dispersed in a hurry, and after a minute, only a few people remained.

The prosecutor said, "Ms. Liu Zhen, now that the density of black law sources in Qiantang City has risen to one-twentieth of the surface source, if the heroic spirits in this city are converted to black law source supply, with their ability, there is no doubt that they will cause devastating damage to the whole city, can you bear this consequence?"

It was undoubtedly his last resort, Ryu Zhen sneered.

"If I can't afford it, who in this room can afford it?"

There was a long silence in the hall, and the white-haired veteran sighed and stood up motioning for the prosecutor to stand down.

"Ryu Jin," said the veteran, "if you summon the Heroic Spirit yourself, as the defense commander of the Council, I will not stand in the way, and I will even seek to pardon him."

"What are the conditions?"

"Hand over your hidden Heroic Spirit." The veteran said.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"If it is used by the enemy, the consequences are unimaginable." The veteran paused and said, "Now that the orange Heroic Spirit is undoubtedly an enemy, I don't want more Heroic Spirits to defect."

The veteran's voice was not kind, but harsh, but it did not cause any unpleasant feelings to Liu Zhen.

"Heroic spirits are not the point, and that's not a reason for you to dwell on this issue." Liu Zhen replied.

"Liu Zhen, do you have a hidden heroic spirit, everyone knows it, there are no outsiders here, why don't you open your heart?"

"What is the punishment when the judgment is over?" Liu Zhen asked.

"Coordinated by the court, at the discretion of the Commission, the Nineteenth Bureau, and the Magical Society." The old man in the center said calmly, "I will try to give you a fair conclusion."

"Suppose," Ryu Zhen raised his hair and casually brushed aside, "Suppose I have a Heroic Spirit hidden, suppose, what if I don't hand him over?"

"We can't do anything about you, but it will affect your Guardian qualifications." The veteran said lightly.

Influence, not concern, is a word that is very appropriate, and Liu Zhen can't help but smile admiringly at the Western veteran.

On one side of the scales are Su Meng, Li He, Fool and her sister, and on the other side is the whole world.

"Let me ask." The old man got up and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Liu Zhen, please answer me, do you have an illegal heroic spirit?"

She closed her eyes.

Liu Zhen's consciousness is gradually fading, her master between Buddhism and Taoism seems to appear in front of her, the master has a fairy wind bones, a clear beard and a thin old face, the fantasy master poured a cup of tea for Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen smiled and took a drink, and then wandered in a void, the girl floated powerlessly in the red and black intertwined void, as if the body was subject to the impact and slapping of the ether.

"The move of the heart is nothing but sin. Get rid of good profits, and retreat from the original intention. If you encounter bad karma, you will gain by thinking. It is a generation of people, like walking in mud, burdened by heavy stones, gradually sleepy and heavier, and their steps are deep."

Liu Zhen whispered like this, if I want to talk about sin, then I should naturally suffer because of arrogance, and I should suffer because I don't respect the world...... But so what? Who is not guilty? Since you have carried this burden, you must continue to bear any guilt.

Is it, Master?

Is it, Sister Xiu?

Yoo Jin opened his burning eyes, and the red and black flames projected on the screens on both sides caused an uproar among everyone.

Dozens of guards rushed in.

"It's okay, don't come here!" The haired woman shouted at the guards.

Liu Zhen stood up, looked around calmly, and then said coldly,

「YES。」

At this time, there was a commotion in the remaining sporadic crowd in the audience, and the judge immediately knocked on the gavel to silence the scene, and announced that the audience was all gone.

"Liu Zhen, if it weren't for the fact that the Yuantuo Building case had just ended, your prestige would have been unprecedentedly enhanced, and I am afraid that you would have stepped down long ago." Said the middle-aged policeman.

"Step down, step down, I can't ask for it, I've submitted my resignation five times, and I'm more anxious than you in this matter." Ryu Zhen raised her hair.

"Please don't say such wayward things." The haired woman said.

"Don't worry, before I step down, I will do my duty well, even if no one is dispatched." Liu Zhen looked at the side and showed his stubborn teeth.

"Liu Zhen, everyone's anger towards you is not at all about this!" The middle-aged sergeant knocked on the table with the words, "The troops you have been transferred have almost never survived, and the military's trust in you has dropped to a freezing point." He added, "We police have been cooperating with you wholeheartedly, what do you think of us?!"

"There are so many enemies, what can I do?!" Yoo Jin responded to him in a high voice.

"Alright, that's the end of the matter," the veteran pressed the middle-aged sheriff's hand, "Liu Zhen, the Magic Association has long been dissatisfied with you, but you are a great magician after all, so you must be cautious in your words and actions in the future."

Liu Zhen didn't answer and sat down.

"Liu Zhen, these are extraordinary times, and the committee will continue to maintain their trust in you." The veteran said.

"What is this? Do you want to take a stand now?" Ryu Zhen looked to the side.

"It's my personal opinion, but it's representative of the committee."

"The same goes for the nineteenth innings." Coiled hair woman added.

Liu Zhen sighed, as if he had been blocking something in his heart, and was about to explode, and suddenly sank again.

She's still good at pretending to be easy.

"Stupid, you're all the fault." Whispered with curled little lips.
