Chapter 136: The Old Man
Ji walked in, and inside, Eunice, Aaron and others stood on either side of Angus, like the defendant and the prosecution.
Angus seemed to sense the coming, and couldn't help but turn around, and when he found that it was Jihou, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and in his eyes, the other party was not worth mentioning at all.
What about the mage, what about the genius, it's not still in his hands.
"Ji, are you alright?"
Waiting for Ji to walk over and stand still, Aaron and the others asked.
"Well, what about you?" Ji nodded.
Everyone seems to be safe, it seems that the justice here is not as chaotic as the world in the past, and personal safety can be guaranteed.
Bang.
It seemed to be the sound of a hammer striking, and a loud sound came from above.
"Quiet."
The crowd was silent and silent.
It was evident that everyone's expressions were serious, even Angus.
The judge's majestic gaze scanned the audience, and then he said, "You all report your names in order, and start from there." ”
He pointed at Angus, as if he didn't know him.
"Hello Judge, I'm Angus, from the Khufu family." Angus bowed slightly and said.
There is some aristocratic demeanor and temperament.
"Human-like dogs, Sven scum." Scarlett couldn't help but curse.
Bang.
The judge struck the hammer again, as if hearing Scarlett's scolding.
"I'm Aaron, the owner of the Carat Blacksmith." Aaron didn't have much nonsense and said directly.
Naturally, there is no special introduction from the crowd.
When it was Eunice's turn, the other party didn't seem to be much afraid, and said, "I'm a street kid on the street, Eunice. ”
"I'm an outsider, Sakura." Ji also said.
"Sakura Manji? It's a strange name. The judge looked at it, then flipped through the notebook in his hand, and said, "You are honest, and you have not lied to God, and God does not have a record of you." ”
"Now, let's talk about the cause of the case, starting with Angus." The judge said.
Angus showed a hint of a smile: "Your Excellency, yesterday, I went to the carat blacksmith shop to buy some commonly used ironware, but unfortunately I ran into the people inside arguing, it seems that the big apprentice provoked the master to disagree, as a result, a group of people pushed and shoved, and actually stabbed the big apprentice Kaili to death, it really surprised me, for the peace of the divine capital, I immediately reported to the escort, and then caught the prisoner in time." ”
"Hmm." The judge nodded, wrote something in the notebook, and then said, "Pay attention to your words, you can't call them prisoners until you have determined the truth of the matter." ”
"Yes." Angus glanced at the crowd at the carat smithy and said no more.
And the people in the blacksmith shop looked at it, and then Yuji spoke: "Your Excellency, this is not the case. ”
"The day before yesterday, it was Thomas of the Khufu family who brought people to the blacksmith shop to make trouble, and then Carey was afraid that I was a threat to the blacksmith shop, so he left after arguing, and only came back yesterday, when he still wanted to drive me away, but after the failure, there were people and horses with Thomas who came to attack, of course, including Angus who was standing there."
"Of course, I stopped the attack, but Angus suddenly killed Carey to blame us......"
After the statement was completed, the judge also took notes, and at this time, the two of them insisted on their own words, and it was indeed difficult to decide.
"According to our investigation, the cause of Carey's death was an attack by a stick-like object in his back, and it is inferred from the course of the matter that the people of the blacksmith shop are temporarily at a disadvantage, because there is a lot of evidence that Angus is not the murderer, including the testimony of the soldiers. Therefore, the prisoners were the people of the blacksmith's shop. ”
The judge made his concluding remarks.
"What?" Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How can the verdict be so hasty." ”
But when I looked at the others, they all looked like they were mourning, and they seemed to have lost their fighting spirit.
"What the hell is going on?" Ji couldn't help but shake Aaron's shoulders.
Aaron explained: "In the gods, the judge is the judge, if the other party makes a decision, it is impossible to change it at all, and we have all thought about the previous situation, where is the evidence in our favor." ”
"Then today's judgment has been decided, and tomorrow, we will discuss with the parliamentarians how to measure the punishment."
The judge gave the order, and everyone had to go back to their cells, and Angus walked out with a smug face.
Ji followed the man who sent him back to the cell, and he was immediately a little indignant, so tomorrow, wouldn't he have to escape from prison or something.
Just then, the voice reappeared.
"Boy, what's the result today?"
It didn't take much time at all, it was still morning, and there was still half a day until tomorrow.
"It's a verdict, it's a verdict that we lose."
"What? How is this possible? The old man over there seemed to be a little surprised: "Wasn't this the case in the past, shouldn't you use the oath method when you encounter a difficult case to solve?" ”
Ji naturally didn't know what method the other party was talking about, but he also understood that there must be something strange in this.
"No, tomorrow, I'll follow you quietly, and if this judge messes around, I'll help you kill him." The old man said.
"Help me kill him?" Ji couldn't help but be a little surprised, and felt a little inexplicably moved in his heart, but he also smiled and said: "Since you are all in this cell, what other way can you get out, let alone help me." ”
"Hey, you kid, old man, I just stayed here because I wanted to be inside, otherwise, I would have gone out a long time ago." The voice sounded unpleasant.
"Good, good." Ji laughed.
He heard it, the other party had no malicious intent, anyway, tomorrow's matter, at most, he would have to solve it himself.
On the other side, everyone in the cell was anxious, although they didn't know what would happen to them after such a verdict, but listening to the other party's tone, the origin of the fatal wound was likely to be the fate of ten deaths.
"It's all my fault." Scarlett couldn't help but say, "If I hadn't rejected Thomas all the time, this wouldn't have happened."
Aaron gently hugged his daughter and said, "Scarlett, how is this your fault? Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, no one can take it away, and your father will always support you. ”
He is old and has a daughter, so he naturally cherishes it very much, and he doesn't want his daughter to accept any grievances, anyway, no matter what happens tomorrow, he must let the heir of the young master and his daughter leave safely.
On one side of the cell, Eunice's eyes flashed with a gleam of truth, but there was no usual cowardice in her eyes.
