Chapter 63: The Twelve Angry Merchants (Part II)
Number 3: "Listen, I don't have any personal bias against this case...... I just wanted to discuss the facts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ The info fact is that Shylock, armed with a murder weapon, went to Antonio's house alone on midsummer night and killed him while he was unprepared, motivated by his crush on Antonio's fiancΓ©e Baucia, and when he heard that the two were about to get married, he was jealous and angry with the killer. The evidence is conclusive, the motive is obvious, I really don't understand, what else do you want to discuss on the 8th? If you can't give me a reasonable reason, I'll assume you're deliberately causing trouble. β
β¦ Awesome, the NPC's serial mouth cannon is really powerful, and it immediately forces the player to respond in the case of half-introducing the background plot, and the dialogue is designed to be tight, and there is no respite.
He Xi was thinking that he had to dig out the key to breaking the game in the limited content.
He Xi thought for a long time, and at the same time, he was still paying attention to the movements and micro-expressions of each NPC.
He Xi: "I want to talk about motivation, and I think there are doubts about motivation. β
Number 3: "Hmph, what doubts can exist about motives?" You don't try to stall for time. β
He Xi: "Do all 11 of you think Shylock's motive for attacking Antonio is valid?" β
Number 7: "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Certainly true. β
He Xi: "No. 2, you haven't spoken, what do you think?" β
He Xi singled out a previously unknown NPC, No. 2, he was a skinny young NPC who looked submissive and a little unconfident, and He Xi decided to try to break the game from him.
Number 2: "Me? I think the motivation is valid..."
He Xi: "Why? β
Number 2: "This... It's really hard to say why, I just think he's guilty. From the motive everything is very obvious, he likes Baucia, but Baucia is going to marry Antonio, he is carried away by the rage, so he kills Antonio. β
He Xi: "No. 2, I want to ask you a personal question, if you don't mind. β
Number 2: "Ah, don't mind, you ask." β
He Xi: "Are you married?" β
Number 2: "Yes, I'm married. β
He Xi: "If it were you, what would you do?" β
Number 2: "Me? What am I? β
He Xi: "What would you do if your wife was engaged to another man before marrying you?" β
Number 2: "Oh my God, I... I don't know..."
He Xi: "Would you choose to kill that man?" β
Number 2: "I don't know... Possible... I can't imagine that happening... But I... I wouldn't choose to kill him. β
He Xi: "Why? β
Number 2: "I... It's hard for me to explain, but I wouldn't do that. β
Haha, I knew you couldn't do it! He Xi was happy.
He Xi: "In that case, then why are you sure that Sherlock will kill Antonio in anger because of love?" What's more, Baucia is not Sherlock's fiancΓ©e, he is just a crush. β
Number 2: "Uh..."
Number 7: "Hey, listen, listen, our No. 8 is here to quibble, No. 8, it's a shame that you don't go to sales or politics, my friend." β
Number 2: "That's right! There are witnesses who testify that he once heard Shylock say to Antonio in public, 'I'm going to kill you'! β
He Xi: "Okay, let's say he actually heard. Isn't this sentence unfamiliar to everyone? 'I'll kill you', 'I said I want to kill your whole family, I must kill your whole family', 'I can't wait to kill you', you can hear similar words on a daily basis, right? Even if you say something like that, it doesn't mean you really want to kill. β
Number 3: "What the hell are you trying to say?" Sherlock clearly said to Antonio 'I'm going to kill you', don't tell me he didn't mean that. Anyone who speaks like he is serious, and no one is going to joke about it. β
He Xi: "No. 2? What do you think? β
Number 2: "Oh my God, I really don't know now... A few weeks ago, I had an argument with a friend about a certain work, and he insisted on Yukina Biike, so I got angry and yelled at him, 'I'm going to kill you'..."
He Xi: "Then are you serious?" β
Number 2: "Well, a little..."
He Xi: "......??? β
Number 2: "Just kidding... I'm certainly not serious..."
Number 3: "Fart, what I'm going to say is that Sherlock said he was going to kill someone, and he really did it, and that's the truth." β
He Xi: "If Sherlock really wanted to kill Antonio, would he go around yelling for others to know?" β
Number 7: "Maybe he was angry and accidentally slipped out of his mouth?" What's so strange about that. β
He Xi: "No, this is unreasonable, Sherlock is a smart person, he will not make such a mistake." β
Number 10: "Clever? He's just an opportunistic scumbag, and he can't even speak the official language! β
Number 11: "Ahem, sir, it's not good, he can't even speak the official language well, your grammar is reversed." β
He Xi: "Shylock is a Semite, and a Semitic is calculating, will he publicly declare his crimes and act on them himself?" Couldn't he have hired an assassin to assassinate Antonio? Or is it retaliation by some other means? This makes me suspicious, and I can't find any motive to satisfy Sherlock for the murder of Antonio himself. β
The effect of He Xi's last words was obvious, and the NPCs apparently began to stir up, either bending their heads to think alone, or discussing in low voices with the jurors on the left and right.
No. 5: "No. 1, I changed my mind, and I wanted to vote for Sherlock 'not guilty'. β
Great! He Xi was in good spirits.
Number 3: "What's going on?" Ha? Are you starting to want to be sensational, too? Tell me why you changed your mind and give me the reason! If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll let you know how good I am! β
Number 5: "I don't have to defend my decision, I have reasonable doubts in my mind. β
Number 3: "Reasonable doubt? Brother, I've seen all kinds of scams in my life, but I have to admit that this trick played by Number 8 can be said to be the pinnacle. He is misleading, trying to trick you into doubting your own normal judgment! You've all heard what he said, is there even one sentence of what he says that proves Sherlock's innocence? No! He simply couldn't prove Sherlock's innocence! You all know that Semitic is guilty! You're just confused by the devilish words of Number 8! β
It was time for He Xi to speak again, and He Xi carefully considered the wording.
He Xi: "It's really not easy to get rid of personal bias in one thing, just like this case. Anytime you are biased, the truth will be obscured. I don't really know what the truth is, and I don't think anyone should know what the truth is. I don't think Shylock had a motive to kill Antonio himself, and that everything in the case seems too straightforward, so I venture to assume that there is a possibility that he is innocent. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the killer is really Sherlock, I don't know, and no one can really know. But as with what I just said on the 5th, I have reasonable doubts that that is a very important aspect of our system. No jury can convict a defendant unless the evidence is conclusive. β
