Chapter 11: Absurd Reasoning
Bishop exclaimed, "I just want to know, to whom this pipe belongs?" and before he could finish speaking, Ferdinand replied, "The pipe is mine." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Bishop curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Obviously, the director of the Bureau of Justice was very satisfied with such a crisp answer, and he seemed to be very enthusiastic to help the people in the audience clear their minds, so this answer was crucial and made a good start for his next question.
He continued, "I wonder why this pipe is in the fire?" Ferdinand felt more and more that the chief was either an idiot or a faultbreaker, or else such a self-righteous opening statement would have ended a long time ago. He replied helplessly, "My lord, people who like to smoke carry pipes with them, so I will appear in the tavern at the same time as the pipe, otherwise do you have a more reasonable explanation?"
Bishop smiled happily and said, "Very well, you are an honest person. This illogical way of interrogating completely gave Duke a glimpse of the ability of a pig's brain, and he felt that if the director in front of him did not have a powerful father, he might even have a problem asking for food.
Bishop slowly got up and walked slowly down the judgment seat, everyone staring at this unusual director, not knowing what he would do next. He walked up to Ferdinand with his hands behind his back and smiled, "Based on the evidence I have so far, I can deduce that this is a love murder. ”
As soon as this remark came out, most of the jury immediately buried their heads between their arms and laughed, because on the one hand, they were afraid of Bishop's powerful father, so that no one dared to laugh at this absurd reasoning head-on. On the other hand, there was no one in all of Auston who didn't know Rebecca, but who had ever heard of that wicked woman raising such an old beggar.
Ferdinand was stunned for a moment when he heard Bishop's words, and then his expression became serious, and Duke couldn't listen anymore and turned away. Seeing the change in Ferdinand's expression, Bishop said confidently: "Your performance has completely proved that my inference just now is the truth, and I will restore the incident here." But first of all, I would like to emphasize that you and the tavern hostess are definitely lovers, unquestionable, and ....... He took his fingers and carefully counted the children kneeling on the ground, and then said affirmatively: "And there are five children." ”
Before Bishop's words fell, the clerk who had been sitting next to him immediately walked up to Bishop and whispered in his ear: "My lord, four of the five children are Buniers. With that, the clerk returned to his seat with his head bowed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Bishop squatted down to take a closer look at Andy, then at Eric and the other three Bunielle children, and then pointed at Andy and said in surprise: "I can't imagine, judging from the height alone, except for this one who has the ability to commit crimes, the other four children seem to be really innocent!"
The jury members were completely unable to control their emotions when they heard Bishop's godlike reasoning, and they left the table one after another. Bishop does not seem to be affected by the jury's departure, but is more focused on the analysis and restoration of the case.
He continued: "Just last night, this man with a pipe was watching the trick with the children with great interest, and the poor proprietress worked all day to take care of these non-viable maggots. He seemed to speak of the word "maggot" with great force, as if it represented his deep disgust for those who could not support themselves.
He pointed his finger at Ferdinand and looked around proudly, when he noticed that no one in the entire courtroom seemed to disagree with his point of view, for all that was left of the courtroom was the clerk and the "maggots" in front of him.
He rebuked loudly: "The long-standing oppression finally broke out in an instant, and then the tragedy played out at that moment, the angry proprietress kept complaining, and the defendant was a complete bastard, he thought that a woman's whining would make him lose money at the gambling table, so he completely ignored the fact that there was a child around him who did not understand the world, and together with this older child, he brutally killed the tavern proprietress to death." In order to destroy the corpse, he set fire to the tavern with a pipe, and the fire spread rapidly, burning the entire muddy alley. In order to retrieve the pipe he accidentally left at the scene of the crime, the murderer stupidly returned to the scene of the crime, and was caught by Duke. ”
With the fierce applause of the clerks, Bishop's restoration case came to an end for the time being. Ferdinand's expression became more and more ugly, and he began to worry about where such a stupid bureau chief would take the otherwise clear facts of the case. He felt that although he was partly responsible for the fire in Muddy Water, it was ridiculous to bear the charge of Rebecca's lover, especially when he thought of the unforgettable black fangs, and the whole person immediately fell into confusion.
Rory, kneeling beside him, whispered, "Sir, are you really my father? Although my mother is not Rebecca, she used to say that my father was a brave and funny man. ”
Eric heard Rory's words and said, "Don't be stupid, you're from Bunier, he's from Auston, how can it be." Rory still tugged at the corner of Ferdinand's coat, his eyes full of innocence in his longing eyes.
