Chapter 66: Case Closed

Ten days have passed since the rainy night of the Spring Revolution, which historians have named, and society is in the midst of rapid change.

Shops were renovated, the streets were filled with student teams singing the praises of the New Regime, engineering teams began salutes, and the construction of urban railroad tracks was accelerated, and steam cars were put into civilian use.

The labour market is also facing significant change.

Led by the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences, many scientific research teams appeared overnight in Norman, bringing the latest inventions to major factories to sell and sell technology.

The troublemakers did not know at all what effect they would have on themselves by helping the bourgeois revolution to achieve its victorious fruits.

The workers are only given so-called respect and freedom, while the bourgeoisie is given all the resources and means of production.

......

The sun is shining, and the warbler flies and the grass grows.

The death knell sounded on the outskirts of Brittus, a funeral was underway, and very few people attended the funeral, only the police chief, the prime minister's entourage secretary and a few minor nobles laid flowers in front of Prime Minister Hadro.

His family cried heartbreakingly, and the nobles that Prime Minister Hadro once defended had no face after being exposed to the public for their ugliness.

Only the West End of Brittus has remained largely unchanged, and now that Bill is out in a high-end wool suit and has mastered his vast wealth and shadow power, he no longer needs to suppress his pursuit of a high quality of life.

Now the police even know that this money is Barclay's retainer money and compensation money to Bill, and the wealth comes above board, and he can squander it as much as he wants.

The police car was waiting outside the brick building, and the fat woman was surprised to see Bill step into the police car and be able to live in harmony with the police.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Cliff, and you look good. ”

"Thanks to you, Sergeant Shavoy. ”

"Ha, Mr. Cliff, you're still so sharp, I can't tell you. ”

Sergeant Shavoy greeted Bill from the passenger seat with a cigar in his mouth, he looked like he was healed, but his eyes were dull, as if he hadn't slept for several nights.

"Is the police department still the same as it used to be?"

"Ah, sort of, not much has changed, but the director has left, and I don't know who will be sent to take over the police station. ”

"Hehe, you're not affected, go your own way. ”

"Tsk, Mr. Cliff, I'll praise you for me. ”

Shawei smiled helplessly, Bill sat quietly in the car, the steam car drove smoothly, and the peaceful scene outside the window sped by.

They were on their way to the Central Court, where a bench of judges and a jury of half church members sat to try the murderers of the disappearance of the nobles.

This time, Savoy invited Bill to appear in court through a letter, and at the same time expressed his gratitude again, because he finally found out who was involved in the disappearance, and the method that Bill taught him.

The most innocent victim of this disappearance, Williams Cliff, deserves to know the outcome of the mystery.

Sha Wei had a lot of thoughts in his head, and after a moment of silence in the car, he suddenly spoke.

"By the way, Mr. Cliff, are you free for noon?"

"What's wrong. ”

"Well, I would like to treat you to lunch, solemnly express my apologies and thanks, and ......"

"I want to consult with you about something, I don't know if it's convenient for you?"

"He invited me to dinner?"

"But as Sawei, I should know a lot of high-end restaurants, and I should go out and see the world. 」

Looking out the window, Bill saw a thriving day after the Norman Reformation, vendors displaying interesting gear ornaments in the streets, children receiving balloons from clowns, and circuses patrolling the streets.

People were smiling and seemed to be happier than ever.

“...... What to eat?"

"I heard that there is a new oriental restaurant in Financial Street, it tastes good, we can try new dishes, and I have already booked a private room. ”

“...... Good. ”

Speaking of inviting guests to dinner, Bill suddenly remembered a kind face, and he clearly remembered that he had promised Thomas, the editor-in-chief, to find an opportunity to treat and talk about the current situation.

It's just that the agreement has not been completed, and both of them have been delayed by trouble.

Bill couldn't help but be worried, and learned from Hansen's letter that Thomas, the editor-in-chief, had recently fallen ill and needed to find some time to visit the old man.

Even if he has resigned from the new editorial office, he should bring condolences with him.

After all, it was the man who had genuinely helped Williams for more than three years, and for some reason, Bill could feel a special warmth from Thomas's editor-in-chief.

The steam truck slowly stopped, and the front of the Central Court was empty, in stark contrast to the spectacular spectacle of reporters once persecuting the police station.

The disappearance of the nobles has no use value, and only the housekeeper of the Goode family and the police station are still cleaning up the aftermath of it, and the reporter will not continue to pay attention to it at all.

Walking into the courtroom side by side with Shawey, Bill saw several familiar faces, including Good's housekeeper, a pregnant daughter, and Grace Shiryl.

And the woman standing in the middle of the courtroom in handcuffs, awaiting trial, is Heidi Andrea, Viscount Goode's most docile underground lover, one of the stars Williams has put the poster on the wall.

At this moment, Heidi lost her soul, and a few dark age spots appeared on her originally smooth and flawless face, the corners of her eyes twitched, and her expression was cold and out of control.

"Is it her?"

"yes, that's her. ”

"I didn't expect that using the method you said would trick people out who don't seem to have any motive to commit the crime. ”

Shawei replied with ease, and when the great pressure of speech ceased to be a burden, he finally returned to normalcy and regained the ability to reason about the case.

"You're in luck, the method I'm talking about doesn't work universally to solve crimes. ”

Bill didn't take the credit for himself, and Shawe smiled and continued to explain.

When Heidi got the false news that Viscount Goode had returned safely, she was the only one who was so frightened that she packed her things that night and went to the port of Rotter Beni to buy a ticket. ”

"We found evidence in her house, and we dared to conclude that it was she who betrayed Viscount Goode's whereabouts, causing Viscount Goode to disappear easily and making the case ......"

"I was used by those people to disperse the police deployment and lead me out of the urban ......"

Shawey's voice grew quieter, and Bill vaguely sensed that he was still hiding, but he couldn't say it here, so he had to find a place to talk alone.

"Well, I know. ”

"I'll talk about the details later, and the court is about to start. ”

They are seated in the back row of the jury bench, and the court trial does not require the appearance of the police chief who is handling the case, and there are special police officers who are responsible for the charges and the submission of evidence.

The judge wore a white eggshell roll wig on his head and wore a thick black trial uniform, and the twelve members of the jury, also dressed in black, took their seats on the left side of the courtroom.

Bang! Bang!

The wooden hammer was struck vigorously, the judge sat upright, the whispers in the courtroom died down, and people waited quietly for the trial to begin.

"Court is now open!"

"The plaintiff presented his complaint and submitted evidence to the court. ”

......

"The defendant will present his case and answer ......"

......

......

"I declare that the case of the disappearance of Viscount Goode was hired by Heidi Andrea, causing panic and chaos in society, and now the evidence is conclusive and the case can be closed!"

......

"After deliberation and decision by all the members of the jury, Heidi Andrea is sentenced to death with a one-month reprieve!"

......
