Chapter 174 No One Survives (17)
Seeing that the atmosphere had become tense, Longbottom got up and said, "Doctor, you'd better have a glass of wine and calm down." ”
However, the doctor refused to budge, pointing at the female teacher and saying, "If she wants to go it alone, won't you care?" ”
Longbottom looked helplessly at the governess, who glared at the doctor angrily, and then sat back in his chair.
Looking at Longbottom's ambiguous relationship with the female teacher, Yi Qi couldn't help but smile.
During the previous villa search, Yi Qi found an interesting phenomenon, when Longbottom communicated with the female teacher, he would call her real name - Vera.
Although Yi Qi is a native of the East, the city where he lives, Black Gold City, is a Westerner-dominated city, so he knows very well how their names are composed.
For example... Female teacher, her full name is Vera. Elizabeth. Clethorne, where Vera is the first name, while the Clethorne at the end is the last name of the governess.
As for the middle name, Elizabeth, it is generally a name that commemorates the ancestor. But... Today, the middle name has gradually changed to a term of endearment for parents and elders for their children and younger generations.
In short, it's a nickname.
However, as a middle name for a nickname, it is generally not recognized by law.
So, if people were to call a governess, they would tend to call her Miss Creshorne, of course... You can also call her by her first name - Vera.
The difference between the two is... The former is more formal, just like when people first meet, people tend to call Yi Qi as Mr. Yi.
And the latter......
Although it lacks that formal taste, it adds a lot of intimacy, so it is often used as a title among acquaintances, just like Xia Fan will call Yi Qi the little seventh brother.
Yi Qi didn't expect that in just three days, the relationship between the two was so close, I remember that when I first saw the two on the train, the female teacher still looked disgusted and disgusted with Longbottom!
……
When the dispute was over, the restaurant was quiet again.
At this time, Longbottom suddenly asked, "I heard that you are very fond of sentencing the death penalty, Judge Vograve?" ”
"I heard?"
Longbottom took out his notebook and raised it, "The sheriff seems to have done an investigation beforehand, about us." So there's some bad stuff on it, especially about you, Judge Wagreve! ”
The old judge turned his head and looked at Yi Qi with cloudy eyes.
Yi Qi spread his hands helplessly and said, "After all, I accepted Mr. Owen's commission, and I also got the list of guests, so naturally I have to do some research in advance." ”
The old judge nodded in response, "If the crime is deserved, it is." ”
Longbottom flipped through his notebook and said, "It says you're going to watch every death sentence you've ever given." Is this true, Judge? ”
The old judge raised his eyelids, looked at Longbottom, and said calmly: "I have the right to sentence men and women to death for the crimes they have committed, and... With great power comes great responsibility.
I believe that when exercising rights, avoiding certain things is both irresponsible and a sign of cowardice. ”
"Look at Edward. Is Sidon's death sentence? "Female teacher. Vera suddenly interjected, "I remember in the newspaper, I saw Edward. In Sidon's report, everyone said he was innocent. ”
"He's not!"
At this moment, a glimmer of light suddenly bloomed in the old judge's cloudy eyes, but his tone was still calm: "Sidon left diaries, and those diaries prove the distortion and depravity in his heart.
Seaton felt that his victims were filthy, and that he was cleaning the stains that those had left behind in the world.
At the same time, Seaton is very smart, he will taunt the police with clues and misleading, and get excited about it, and... Torture and abuse will also make him excited. ”
Longbottom stared into the old judge's eyes and asked without giving in, "Since he is guilty and you judge correctly, then why don't you go and see his execution?" ”
"I went, and it was disturbing and unusual!" The old judge seemed to recall the scene, saying, "Seaton refused to take the hood, he wanted me to see his face."
It could be trying to hint at me, or it could be to laugh at me, just as it is to laugh at justice!
Justice meant nothing to Sidon, and he was neither afraid of justice nor of me. ”
The old judge let out a rare sigh: "I am insignificant, and I will soon be forgotten and become a footnote to history, while the countless bloodsheds and fears he left behind will be remembered by the world."
Seaton did succeed, and he made it impossible for me to let go.
But... Ridicule or not, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the world will finally get rid of the terrible darkness he brings. ”
After speaking, the old judge stood up straight, apologized slightly to everyone, and said, "We said okay... Either alone or together, but... I'm going to read a book now. ”
Then the old judge turned to the doctor again: "I'm sorry! Dr. Armstrong, your proposal is indeed good, but your anxiety and hysteria make me tired of it......"
……
The old judge left the dining room, and no one stopped him or followed.
It wasn't until the old judge disappeared that Longbottom asked, "Dr. Armstrong, should you explain what the judge is proposing?" ”
"What's there to explain?" The doctor patted the table anxiously and said, "I just proposed to Judge Vograve that I work with him to find out the hidden Mr. Owen!" ”
"Just the two of you?"
The doctor became even more agitated, pointed to Longbottom's nose, and said, "Don't think I didn't see that you and Miss Clethorne have hooked up, and he ......"
As soon as the doctor turned around, his finger fell on Yi Qi's head: "This sergeant, is a complete madman. ”
"I'm not crazy!" Yi Qi took a sip of the juice in the goblet and said lightly: "It's just that you have no way to understand my way of thinking, nor can you know what position I am in.
And, don't you feel like Judge Vograve is more of a madman than I am?
Good and evil are rewarded?
Scold~! How much resentment must there be in the hearts of those who hold this view? Or is there no justice in this world? Let alone... Neither good nor evil represents justice.
Also, don't you feel that Judge Vograve is very similar to Mr. Owen? It's all about getting pleasure from causing death. Of course, you can also understand it as... Punish sin. ”
Everyone was silent, and there was no sign of this... Yi Qi didn't care too much, and stretched his waist again: "Since someone is alone now, I think... You're not going to ask me anymore to count sheep with you here, are you? ”
Yi Qi waited for a while, and seeing that there was still no response, he turned around and walked to the room on the second floor.
