Chapter 21: The Dark Vortex of Meaninglessness
The theater at this moment is like a scene from King Lear's monologue in the wilderness, pale and silent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But the trial will not stop, and moreover, the outcome of Moriarty can only be decided by the majority. ”
"Moriarty is a hunter. ”
"When the hunter handed him over to this trial, Moriarty, who was a hunter, was already on trial. ”
"He was stripped of his qualifications as a hunter?"
"Yes. ”
Above all the chaotic and turbulent worlds, a dark and dead world is hidden in the night, as if the dark night sky itself enveloped every hunter.
"The hunter's decision will not be revised because we will not make mistakes. ”
......
The second vote came unexpectedly, leaving all those who tried to manipulate the trial almost angry.
The next day, just one night and half a day after the last vote, the judge was forced to let the jury vote a second time because Holmes and Moriarty refused to argue in court, and even he began to wonder what he was doing.
Still, the vote was done.
Everyone looked at the exact same number of votes as last time, listened numbly to the judge adjourning the courtroom, and then walked out of the courtroom in line.
"It's breathtaking," Magellan followed Holmes out of the courtroom, "and it seems that there has never been a jury ballot in the history of Breton that has been declared null and void on both occasions because of insufficient votes." ”
"In the history of Brittana, a jury of fifty is unprecedented. ”
Moriarty suddenly interjected, and the professor was alone, seemingly completely unaffected by the outcome of the vote.
"It's all about the end result being able to truly represent justice. ”
"I hope so. ”
Professor Moriarty did not refute Holmes's statement of justice, but Magellan could sense it in the hunter's breath that he was unimpressed.
"Why have you been talking about the word justice so often lately?"
"Professor Moriarty is very different, and as the trial drifts more and more away from justice, I feel more and more that is what I want. ”
"Has the trial really deviated from justice?"
Holmes smiled, "Hopefully that's just an illusion." ”
"Hello sir, please support Professor Moriarty," a newsboy suddenly appeared beside the trio, shoved a leaflet into Watson's hand, and then rushed to another man who had just come out of the courtroom, "Please support Professor Moriarty, for the sake of Mr. Justice." ”
......
Magellan had not returned to the faculty quarters of the university for a long time, and after the destruction of numerous monuments by Emenchet, he asked Sir Cook to take leave, and should have stayed in his small room in his former attic, at least until he had fulfilled his duties as a juror.
But today, he had a question that he needed to consult with a law professor at the college.
As this unexpected visit was about to begin, Magellan was unexpectedly interrupted.
"Professor Magellan!"
It was a very rare bull man, and even in the Ruidu Docks, where various intelligent races lived, it was very rare for a royal family from the Alpha Empire to come from, let alone outside the secluded Royal Academy.
"Professor Magellan, may I ask you a question?"
Daikoku looked at the young man and prayed inwardly that he would not reject himself.
"What's the problem?"
Magellan remembered that he had seen the bull man in the jury and suddenly wondered what questions the monstrous giant would ask.
"How will the world change in Professor Moriarty's absence?"
Daikoku waited anxiously for Magellan's answer, he felt that his luck had never been so good, and if he didn't get an answer in the end, everything would be wasted.
"The change has taken place, and it is becoming more drastic, and it will not be affected by Professor Moriarty or not. In fact, Professor Moriarty was the one who was affected, and he could not have been brought to court before. ”
"But ......"
Dahei couldn't understand what he was hearing, but it was definitely not the answer he was expecting.
"I've never seen you before, have you ever gone to the university gate and asked a professor a question?"
Magellan left after saying that, he didn't know what the bull man would think, but his answer would not change.
Daikoku stood still, forcing himself to think. He was convinced, because it was a simple fact, but whether the conclusion after the fact was correct or not left him in a mess.
Maybe it was an accident, maybe it was the stubbornness of the bull people who suddenly awakened, and until he thought everything through, Dahei didn't give up, but that was a long time later.
Magellan left the uninvited guest behind and walked into the law school, surrounded by greenery.
This is where professors studying philosophy, literature, law, and several other disciplines stay, and Magellan's questions may not be answered here, but that means they are not answered anywhere else.
To his surprise, Magellan caught up with a salon.
In addition to several well-known salon lovers, Magellan also saw several professors who never appeared at the salon, as well as several strangers.
"Welcome, Professor Magellan who was kicked out of the Royal Academy by the Countess!"
This sentence drew a burst of laughter, and everyone loved the joke because it was easy and funny.
"Then I was driven back by Professor Moriarty's lawsuit. ”
"That's a problem. ”
The heated controversy that had just been interrupted by Magellan's appearance reappeared, and the professors were divided into opinions, and the main point of contention was Professor Moriarty's trial.
"So what does Professor Magellan think, as a member of the jury?"
Just as Magellan had predicted, the war spread to him.
"There is only one question," Magellan paused, feeling some vague fluctuation in the far west, something that must have happened to Francis, "is this trial legally enforceable in jurisprudence?"
"No," a law professor announced, a conclusion that no one expected, "the trial was a game of some bigwigs, and it had no legal effect." ”
"Professor Moriarty may be declared guilty, but not in prison," Magellan said, setting aside what was happening on the distant sea, and then confirming it again, "That's what it means, right?"
"It doesn't matter, Professor Magellan, but in fact this trial has revealed a lot of problems that we have not noticed before, and has opened the way for the development of jurisprudence......"
Magellan smiled and nodded, but he was completely unimpressed, because the conclusion was already obvious.
