Chapter Twenty-Nine: Softened

Meanwhile, in the most luxurious hotel on Kings Mile in Turnell City, Durin and Kevin were sitting and chatting, and most of the time he was listening, Kevin was talking.

"Let's use a slight ......," Kevin paused when he said the word, he smiled and blinked twice, and continued: "We roughly divide criminal behavior into two types, one that causes malignant consequences and one that has no serious consequences. ”

"Generally speaking, most crimes with no serious consequences are solved every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the judge directly decides on the method of handling and sentencing in the city courts, and most of them are several months of hard labor, not more than 18 months. ”

"In cases that have caused vicious consequences, had a huge impact on society, caused serious injuries and deaths, or caused huge losses to individuals and businesses, or even the government, the lawyers of both sides will choose a date and then go to trial, and the final guilt will be decided by a citizen court, and the justice can only be responsible for the standard of sentencing. ”

"If the losing party is not satisfied with the decision of the city court, he or she may appeal to the state court at the next higher level...... I'm sorry, but you call a state a province, and you can understand it as the high court of a province. In the kingdom of Guart, they called the cantons provinces, and the courts were arranged from the Grand Court (city), the High Court (provincial level), and the Supreme Court (national level). In the Shining Star Empire and the Free Federation, they use states at the administrative level of provinces.

However, for the Guartes, who love to remember the past, they still refer to the state as a province.

Doolin said he didn't care about the minor issue and asked Doolin to continue, pouring Kevin a glass of water. As the most luxurious hotel in Turnaire City, not to mention high alcohol, what do you want? But Kevin said that he never drinks because drinking alcohol tends to dull his brain, and for a lawyer, a dull brain is equivalent to his career entering the countdown.

After taking a sip of water, Kevin continued, "The state legislature will conduct at least three court hearings based on the advice of lawyers from both sides, and finally a citizen jury of at least 20 people will decide whether the final charge can be convicted. If the case itself does not have special significance, the outcome of the trial of the state court will be carried out as the final result, and if the case has attracted the attention of the society or has raised a series of other problems, then the case will be referred to the Supreme Court of the Reich. ”

"A small piece of defense was too much, and it was a notorious gang member who died, and even the state courts did not want to be harassed by such a case, and even if someone appealed, it could only be dismissed. Kevin's eyes were full of smiles, this money was so easy to make.

If it weren't for the fact that his mother had been in poor health and that he hadn't earned enough money to buy a house in the metropolis, he would have left Turner City two years ago. As he overturned the case of the teacher's sexual assault of underage female students, he already had his own status and prestige in the legal profession, and he was constantly invited to participate in the litigation and defense of some cases, which made him a lot of money.

Of course, from the first time he stood in the courtroom and did not feel any nervousness, a few casual words left the opposing lawyer speechless, until now, no employment has brought more profit than Dorin's order.

A whole thousand dollars, even if "he has sold his soul to the devil" as the victim's family members say? If a person is kind and right, he will never choose to be a lawyer. When a person decides to become a lawyer, he is doomed to lose his holy heart.

The Book of God: Book III, Passion, Verse 19: He plays with his tongue and calls the night a lie as day, and every time he says it, he sins more.

Picking up his cup and taking a sip of water, Kevin suddenly asked curiously, "Mr. Doolin, have you read a law book?" or theocratic law?"

This question has been hidden in Kevin's mind for three days, and when Dulin said such special judicial words as "surrender" and "minor", Kevin had a feeling that Dulin was definitely not as simple as he himself said, not as simple as he appeared. Without reading the legal material, it is difficult to say such a very important prefix when discussing a homicide.

A considerable part of the laws of the empire were copied directly from theocratic law, and of course all lawyers were well aware of this. After the imperial family overthrew the theocracy, a group of nobles with no knowledge of justice became the main personnel in the judicial branch. Faced with a blank sheet of paper, they racked their brains and did not know how to write a set of laws that would apply to the country.

I don't know which big man had a whim, so they opened the theocratic law and borrowed a lot of explanations from the theocratic law, and a considerable part of them have been used to this day.

For example, the explanation that juvenile delinquency should be punished lightly comes from the theocratic law, "young children are still ignorant, God has not yet given them wisdom, even if there is a mistake, the fault lies with God", those aristocratic lords may also think that it is not appropriate to copy it so directly, and they can't think of a perfect sentence, so they wrote on the first line of page 13, "Juvenile delinquency should be punished lightly, educate and warn them of the correct way to treat others, and punish them a little"

Kevin's slightly inquiring gaze didn't make Durin show the slightest fluctuation, he played with the wine glass in his hand and shook his head, "Although I don't want to admit it, I didn't master the writing of about fifty words until the other day. ”

Kevin was shocked, he spent most of his time with Durin discussing what he was going to do next, he always thought that Durin had received a good education, after all, Durin showed etiquette and demeanor, which was definitely not something that an ordinary Gualte could show. It was only then that he realized what DΓΌhrin meant, that is, a few days ago he was "illiterate".

Kevin couldn't believe what he was hearing, illiterate?

How can it be!

"I finally believe what the gods say, God is omnipotent!"

In the face of Kevin's long sigh, Durin could only shrug his shoulders, he could not say that he had a dream, dreamed of another world. He watched as a croaking baby rose to the top and died in a turnover, killed by a bullet. So at this time, he can only remain silent.

I don't know how long later, someone knocked rhythmically at the door, Dulin and Kevin were stunned, and the two walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the same time, looking at a car that had just stopped outside the hotel gate.

Morris held Nasha by his arms, and he passed one hand under Nasha's armpit, weighing Nasha's weight on top of himself. The reason why Jindian is a classic is because its degree is high enough, so high that many young people who drink high alcohol for the first time can easily drink too much and drink until they are unconscious.

"Do you need my help?", Nasha's "male classmate" came over drunk, still very fond of this guy Morris. If he hadn't persuaded her, the girl named Nesat would probably have refused to drink. It was because of the persuasion and personal tasting of him and his other two female companions that Nasha was curious to drink a glass.

The higher the degree of wine, the first stage of drinking the stomach will not feel any drunkenness, and when Maurice opened another bottle of gold, the girl Nasha obviously drank a little too much. It may be that she thinks that her companions will take care of her, and it is the first time she has encountered a high-end wine like Jindian, so it is inevitable that she will compete with herself, and she is not convinced.

It also led to the current situation.

"I've opened the room, and I wish you all a nice night. Morris patted the boy's arm with a knowing smile, and then walked into the hotel with Nasha first.

He is a regular customer here, and a standard room costs only three dollars and nine dollars a night, which is not worth much to him.

Morris has a strange plot in which he feels that when he sleeps with the girl he likes, it is a very sacred thing. He would never be like the young boys and girls who just found a place where no one was around and could solve the problem of hormone overflow. Going to bed is like a ritual, and only after completing each step of the ritual can he feel the joy from the heart.

Helping the drunken girl to his reserved room, he turned on all the lights, put the girl on the bed, and then gently and carefully took off all the girl's clothes, and covered her with a cup. He also thoughtfully put a glass of water on the bedside table, in case the girl suddenly woke up and needed to drink water because of her dry mouth due to excessive drinking.

Then he took off his clothes, propped them up neatly on a hanger, and put them in the closet. He put on his bathrobe and walked into the bathroom, took it off, and hung it on the bathroom clothes rack. He faced a mirror, clutched a triangular pendant on his chest with both hands, and prayed silently. It was the coat of arms of the Catholic Church, and in the triangle there was an eye, mysterious and terrifying.

After a while, he walked under the shower and began to wash every part of his body in earnest. Maybe it's because he drank a little too much alcohol before, and he is also a little smoky, and the moment he closes his eyes when he blinks, it seems as if the whole world is spinning. He liked the feeling, the feeling as if he was the center of the world, and the whole world revolved around him.

After about ten minutes, he perked up a little, put on his bathrobe, and walked out of the bathroom. Glancing at the bedroom, he casually picked up the bottle of water on the table, poured himself a glass, and took a sip.

Seeing the girl on the bed in the bedroom quietly and peacefully closing her eyes, his heartbeat began to speed slightly, and just as he was about to go to the bedroom to enjoy a big meal, a cold, spiky thing pressed against his waist.

In an instant, he came to his senses.
